I'm using the above script on testwiki and other language wiki. Using this tool, the edit protection works but move and create protecion throw an error. No protection occurs when only move or create protection is selected, If I select both edit and move protection, only edit protection works. Does the script properly protect on enwiki? I'm asking here because it's a script from enwiki. -- ginaan (˵⚈ε⚈˵) 00:02, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Mahjong Competition Rules is not an encyclopedia article covering a game's rules (which might be overly narrow in the first place) but directions on how to play that game in accordance with those rules. I think it should be moved to Wikibooks or some other project, but how do I request this? I figured there would be a transwiki-request template, but Template:Transwiki was deleted because it was an unnecessary fork of Template:Prod. I also figured there would be a project page, but WP:Transwiki redirects to a technical how-to-do-it page without a place to request a transwiki. 123.51.107.94 ( talk) 01:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I used to be able to paste an ISBN into the automatic generator but now it's no longer an option. Is this a permanent change? I have to say it's very annoying. Please reinstate it. :) Also was there ever going to be the option of putting in the OCLC number into the automatic generator? Gertrude206 ( talk) 03:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

As sometimes two different places in completely different areas can have the same name, I would use parentheses, right? However, I am unsure if I am supposed to put the city, subdivision, or country inside of it, if there is a specific preference. (e.g. Should I use Bob's House (North Carolina) and Bob's House (California) or Bob's House (Asheville) and Bob's House (Fresno)?) DarkNight0917 ( talk) 04:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm currently unable to download pdf files for articles whose title contain the Greek letter 'π' standing for the mathematical constant pi.
The article pages I tried include:
'List of formulae involving π' 'Leibniz formula for π' 'Approximations of π' 'Chronology of computation of π'
Of these, I previous could download the pdf file for 'Leibniz_formula_for_π'.
I have a copy of 'Leibniz_formula_for_π.pdf' whose timestamp says May 14th, 2022, or around a year ago.
I tried to download pdf files for the above articles with Firefox, Chromium and some other download utility, all of which did not work.
I hope Wikipedia will fix this issue soon.
Thanks. 14.32.11.214 ( talk) 04:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
I'm trying to find the oldest articles in Category:All pages needing cleanup, Category:All articles with topics of unclear notability, and others which are sorted alphabetically, not by date. Is there a toolforge thing to help with this? 〜 Festucalex • talk 10:26, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
When I use the Wikipedia app (on Android) there is a bottom-border menu that includes a hamburger button labelled 'More'. When I select this, it presents six options, starting with my own user page, and finishing with 'Donate'. Of these six, four are wikilinks that open in the app, and 'Donate' is a URL since it opens a page outside Wikipedia. What annoys me is that the first link, to my own user page, is also a URL, so it opens in a browser. Why is this? If I want to use the browser interface, I can decide that for myself, but if I've chosen to use the app, why would it send me over to the browser?
I know that can get there via my user talk page in one extra click, but... -- Verbarson talk edits 14:10, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

I want to cite volume 2 of a book. If I give its ISBN as printed near the beginning of the volume, 01-12-091102-7, I see an error message saying the number of digits is wrong. Then If I remove the leading 0, I instead get an error message saying that the checksum is wrong. Removing all the -s doesn't help. Is it acceptable just to use the ISBN from volume 1?
