On the NetSurf page there's an AmigaOS 4 box at the bottom, which can be expanded. It contains grouped lists of related articles. Could we have something like this for articles relevant to RISC OS? Tlsa ( talk) 16:09, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
This includes some more emulators from List of computer system emulators#Acorn Archimedes. In the short term, IMHO Drawfile and Spritefile should probably be piped (or redirected) to Draw (software) and Paint (RISC OS software)... as articles about the filetypes won't have much meaning without corresponding app articles. Such filetype articles will also be subject to potential deletion. But they could be spun out from the headings within the app articles in the future. I guess the navbox can be copied to {{ RISC OS}} and further worked on from there. Also, by Development board (RISC OS) (singular, per WP:SINGULAR) does that include various Simtec ones, etc.? Personally, I'd also choose lower case 's' for series under Hardware but you and others may disagree. Cheers. -- Trevj ( talk) 13:01, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- Articles that actually distinguish between multiple distinct instances of related items can be sensibly given a plural title when the alternative would be to create an inappropriately large number of short articles, one on each instance. The various Zeno's paradoxes, for instance, are incorporated into one article, with a correspondingly plural name.
Thank you I've just copied that directly across to {{
RISC OS}}. Not sure if there's an easy way to include it at the bottom of articles but it shouldn't be too bad to do manually. Will make a start. --

Hi, please check the article Star Fighter (video game). I found it by accident of the cleanup listing (see above) and recognized a big copyvio. Hopefully I caught all text, but one of the references is down. Since I removed some sections (or better saying the content) it needs a major rewrite and improvement. mabdul 14:41, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
In 2011 we had the 30th anniversary of the BBC micro. This year will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Acorn Archimedes and the 15th anniversary of the Acorn Network Computer. Therefore, perhaps these articles could be focus of some attention over the coming months. Does anyone else think this makes sense? It's probably logical to move to the respective talk pages for any further notes. -- Trevj ( talk) 15:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
The keen people over at 8bs.com have been adding further scans of Acorn User, now going up to the end of 2003! Excellent work - that's going to be a great help to us. -- Trevj ( talk) 04:45, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Which computers should be in the list of Acorn clones and compatibles in Template:Acorn computers, clones and compatibles? I think only those computers that were/are sold with a stable RISC OS version including license and commercially supported, currently Beagleboard xM in Kiste and ARMini. Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, DevKit8000, IGEPv2, Touch Book, Pandora, PandaBoard and PandaBoard ES are not sold with RISC OS, only have a unstable and/or incomplete RISC OS version and/or the RISC OS support is only done by the community. -- Egel Reaction? 11:42, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot ( talk) (for Mr. Z-man) 05:23, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Greetings WikiProject RISC OS Members!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 18:07, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject RISC OS/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject RISC OS.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject RISC OS, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.
Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
