User:Staruge copied a machine translation of fr:Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne to Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne, so it needs hatnotes and categories for cleanup. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx ( talk) 03:05, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

. See
MOS:LAYOUT for where each thing is supposed to go. Anytime I forget how to do something here, or have to learn for the first time, I just edit a page that does the thing I want to do, copy the relevant wikicode, and back out of the editor without publishing. It's pretty good everything is visible unless it's really complicated.

Help:Pictures#Thumbnail sizes. Happy editing!

|upright=
parameter which is equivalent to adding |upright=0.75
but is confusing because it doesn't specify a scaling factor. Personally, I think the original default size of the image is fine and it doesn't need to be 0.75 times smaller, which is what you did. --

Hello!
So currently, my
talk page is archived with ClueBot III. I must've put the archiving in the way of month/year although I don't remember because it was literally years ago. However, now its getting really tedious and annoying, to the point where the page looks kind of messy as the list of month/year is getting long. I was wondering how / if I can change the archive to a different type. Specifically
this type of template. Unfortunately I am terrible with coding and some of this code really confuses me at times. Thank you, hope someone can help me!

On the page for Willard Scott the first paragraph calls him a serial killer and rapist. I'm pretty certain someone is messing with this. I find it unbelievable that someone in the public eye for most of his 80 years on Earth and noted as a TV personality could have also been known as a serial killer/rapist. Looks like someone got by your woke censors and altered his page.

Special:Contributions/86.106.2.67 has made quite a few edits, and all the ones i've checked have been the uncited addition (or alteration) of a date (sometimes changing the date format, including putting the date or edit summary in Spanish). Is someone willing to fact check 30 or more edits? If appropriate, is there a way to undo all of an editor's edits at once instead of one by one? -- 173.67.42.107 ( talk) 11:34, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
On the Dortmund page, it's not clear which monuments correspond to which; moreover, there are 7 monuments, while there are 6 photos. JackkBrown ( talk) 12:59, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello!
Although I’m Greek, English is my preferred language and I always read the English Wikipedia, however, I speak altogether four languages and if an article that I read in English exists in any of these languages, I often want to switch and read it in another language.
My problem is that the “Suggested languages” section cannot be edited and I get randomly a list of languages which I don’t speak. (I guess randomly because I can't see how Bulgarian eor Macedonian or French hav ended up in the preferred language list!)
Is there any way to get in the section “Suggested languages” only these four languages I speak, assuming of course that the corresponding article that I read does exist in one of the four languages of my choice?
Thanks! Entropy1963 ( talk) 15:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
You have a photograph of another person on my wikipedia page. The photo of the bald gentleman sitting is not me. That is the son of Charles Schwab (same name as me). Please remove and replace with an alternate appropriate photo of me. Thank you.

Here South Hams under 'Politics' I've updated with recent election results. The infographic has an arrangement of coloured dots to represent the distribution of seats which I hoped would rearrange themselves when the new numbers were input but sadly no. I cannot see any code for this but it looks like a standard wiki thing. It really must change, I'd be grateful if someone could show me or fix it. Thanks very much.

Hello,
I was just wondering what will happen to a Google Knowledge Panel if a page is renamed to something else? Will it disappear? Here is the link in question: Eva Doležalová and it would be changed to "Eva Vik."
Please let me know if anyone has any input regarding this topic.
Thanks,
