You could also try clickiing on "What links here" in the left side panel of the template's page. Often you can get a good idea as to how to use a template by seeing how it's being used others, and "What links here" will show you a list of pages where the template is being used.

I am aware of the G5 policy Wikipedia has. However, what if an article created by a banned or blocked user was actually a good article, well sourced, well written, and about a notable subject worthy of having its own page on Wikipedia? Is there no exception to the G5 policy? Per Wikipedia:Copyrights surely we are allowed to copy what was written in a deleted article from a banned or blocked user and repost it? I understand the purpose of G5 is to prevent further disruption to Wikipedia and Wikipedia:BLOCK and Wikipedia:BAN make that clear: to prevent further disruption. However, surely if the user has since been banned and the deleted article they created has been carefully analyzed and confirmed that it was actually a well written, well sourced, and good article, that such deleted article could be restored, even if it is simply copied and pasted by another Wikipedia user?

I've been asking around on various pages to no avail. Recently there has been an ANI thread and several templates deleted due to a discussion that included how articles should cover active tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, etc). However, I think that how pages should cover active storms needs to be discussed further. The first suggestion was to take the matter to ArbCom, but it did not seem so serious. Next I suggested holding a discussion on the relevant project talk page (either Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones), but others suggested holding it outside of project space to reduce bias and invite more outside opinion. One editor suggested WP:NPOVN but that seemed a poor fit. Following the suggestions of a couple others I did start a thread at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy), but I have gotten no response one way or the other there. Admittedly, that isn't quite the right place either as that page is more about discussing changes to policy. At this point I am not sure where this kind of discussion should be held.

I've noticed that for templates such as {{Full party name with color|Janata Dal (United)}} and {{Full party name with color|Janata Dal (Secular)}}, the full name is only shown as Janata Dal. I see why this is important for {{Full party name with color|Labour Party (UK)}} and {{Full party name with color|Labour Party (Australia)}} maybe, but Janata Dal (United) and Janata Dal (Secular) have the same party name when their full names should include the bits in parentheses. A simple solution is to add a flag in the module that indicates whether the full party name should include text in parentheses, and consider that in all political party templates involving the full name. Where is the right place to get a discussion going on this issue? C1MM ( talk) 04:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Template talk:Party name with color#Undisambiguated full name. It's currently only documented at {{

Hi there,
I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct place to ask, but maybe someone will be able to assist. I noticed that the article Egor Kreed, for example, was considerably empty in contrast to the one found on the Russian Wikipedia, and was looking to add content to it. However, when I was using the translation tool for other articles, I noticed that there is an option to replace an already existing page with a translation. My question for this is: what would be the potential impact of such an action? Would there need to be additional steps taken afterwards? I think it would be easier to do another translation (given how organized the tool is) but at the same time, I do not want to mess things up if that makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help.

I see why this is important for {{Full party name with color|Labour Party (UK)}} and {{Full party name with color|Labour Party (Australia)}} maybe, but Janata Dal (United) and Janata Dal (Secular) have the same party name when their full names should include the bits in parentheses. A simple solution is to add a flag in the module that indicates whether the full party name should include text in parentheses, and consider that in all political party templates involving the full name. Where is the right place to get a discussion going on this issue? C1MM ( talk) 04:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
|dab=yes
after a discussion at
Template talk:Party name with color#Undisambiguated full name. It's currently only documented at {{
Party name with color}} but it also works for {{
Full party name with color}} which uses the same module. If you want it to be done automatically for some parties then you have to start a new discussion.

12:36, 28 June 2024 (UTC)I need some help with our page. We created a page for our company but forgot the email address we used to sign up. We've tried all the ones we can think of, but none are working. If you can help us out with this, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance! 110.226.182.71 ( talk) 05:47, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Would it be ok if I was to write down the title or subtitle of an article on Wikipedia that I am reading for the sole purpose of remembering where I finished off so that I can continue reading the article or would that be a copyright violation?
Thank you

I recall I used to get a notification when someone clicked the "reply" link at the end of my comment without explicitly naming me in a {{ ping}} or {{ reply}} tag. I am running across replies that seem to have been made this way, but for which I never got notified. I don't recall changing anything in my user preferences, and I don't see any setting about this either. Would someone click the reply link at the end of this comment and reply without referencing my username, so I can confirm this? ~ Anachronist ( talk) 15:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Anyone know why my article isn't showing up on google? It's on Wikipedia but I can't get it to show up on google even when I type in the name of the article followed by wikipedia.
Let me know! Thanks Richielemay29 ( talk) 15:48, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
I made a mistake by wanting to modify my Amage9 sandbox into the article Luigi Rolly Bedin, I modified the user instead of the article. Thanks in advance Amage9 ( talk) 15:52, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
I noticed today (I believe for the first time) that the timestamp of a signature is dim. Is that a new, uh, feature?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:07, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

I would like to move my article from the sandbox but there is no button to move it. I have changed appearance several times but still no avenue to move the article. Have done more than 15 edits and account was opened seven days ago. Please advise. SEQUINS24 ( talk) 18:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
I want to ask is it ok if an editor is continuosly creating redirects of potential articles? Doesn't it take away the attribution from the editor which was about to start the article? What @ Kumarpramit: is doing is just making redirects of badminton tournament articles, just to pose as the first to start the page, while others are doing hardwork of expanding it without their article tally going upwards. Thankyou. zoglophie •talk• 19:59, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct place to ask, but maybe someone will be able to assist. I noticed that the article Egor Kreed, for example, was considerably empty in contrast to the one found on the Russian Wikipedia, and was looking to add content to it. However, when I was using the translation tool for other articles, I noticed that there is an option to replace an already existing page with a translation. My question for this is: what would be the potential impact of such an action? Would there need to be additional steps taken afterwards? I think it would be easier to do another translation (given how organized the tool is) but at the same time, I do not want to mess things up if that makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help.

15:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC)I have seen that my article de:Fadenwurminfektionen des Hundes was transferred (and translated) per c&p to Nematode infection in dogs, without using Wikipedia:Requests for page importation and therefore without article history. In the German WP this procedure is not allowed because it violates Wikipedia:Copyrights. I have no idea how it is handled in the English WP. Uwe Gille ( talk) 11:16, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I have been a member of Wikipedia for years.
For the past few days, I have been trying to log into my Wikipedia account, but after entering my username and password, I receive an error message. I am sure that I am entering both my username and password correctly, but each time I get the same response that either the username or the password is wrong!
When I click on the "Forgot password" option, it asks for my username and email address, but I do not receive any email in my inbox for resetting my password!!

I am requesting help with another editor who abruptly delisted the main Florida State University from GA status (which the article has had for years) while a GA Reassessment works through the process. I need to resolve concerns with non-free use in a couple sections, mainly and perhaps a style preference or two. Otherwise, the editor proposing the GAR is helpful and generally cooperative. However, a third editor entered the matter abruptly and delisted the article, with no explanation or collaboration. Thank you for any help! Sirberus ( talk) 15:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
