Question from George Fidel (06:34, 25 June 2024)
[edit]Hello! I am making a new page and wanted to ask if you could look at it. It is currently in my sandbox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:George_Fidel/sandbox --George Fidel (talk) 06:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @George Fidel, sorry for the late reply, I've been a bit busy lately. I've looked through the draft and I don't think it is currently ready. I think some improvements need to be made in regards to tone and referencing. Sources that are published by or related to the subject should not be referenced in the article, and the claims that these sources support should be more adequately referenced or removed. The tone should be neutral, and puffery should be avoided.
- I'll be happy to look over it again, but before you continue working on the draft, could you first make sure that the subject meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In general, all subjects of an article should have multiple sources providing significant, independent and in depth coverage to them to merit an article, if that does not exist, the draft may not be approved. Justiyaya 20:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @Justiyaya for reviewing the draft. I'll try and get better links for referencing the article and also check on the tone. George Fidel (talk) 08:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Melbydwaekk on NCT (group) (15:50, 10 July 2024)
[edit]Would it be appropriate to change "Spinoffs" to "Subgroups" or "Subunits" under Background Information? This would apply to other K-Pop groups as well. "Spinoff" has a strong connotation related to TV in which some element of the original work is turned into something new and existing on its own while still in the same universe as the original. In K-Pop, a subunit exists under the umbrella of its main group. In Stray Kids, 3RACHA existed prior to the main group, so spinoff does not feel like an appropriate descriptor. I apologize if this was answered somewhere, I am somewhat new to editing. --Melbydwaekk (talk) 15:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Melbydwaekk, what you are seeing comes from Template:Infobox musical artist. Generally, for edits on such a widely used template, you should establish consensus first before making or requesting a change on the template's talk page.
- I think this term originated from the 2021 removal of the "Associated acts" field. It has already been discussed by a few editors in 2022 with most agreeing that the term is flawed but nothing (I believe) came out of that.
- If you'd like to propose a change, start a section at Template talk:Infobox musical artist. I think it's an interesting and valid point to raise :D If you'd like me to do it, I'll be happy to but would be a bit busy before the weekend. Happy editing! Justiyaya 19:22, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Question from Astromoorthy (04:16, 15 July 2024)
[edit]Hello Mentor,
I'm trying to create an wikipage for a person. We have all citations, articles everything. Please let me know how to create a detailed wikipage. Thanks. --Astromoorthy (talk) 04:16, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Question from Astromoorthy (04:18, 15 July 2024)
[edit]We have added a wikipage earlier but now I couldn't see the page. Please let us know what happen or do we need to create a new one.
Thanks. --Astromoorthy (talk) 04:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Astromoorthy, you've used "we" when referring to yourself, note that shared accounts are not allowed on Wikipedia.
- It'd help a lot if you could give the name of the article/page that you've made so I can try to find out why (or if) it was deleted. Nothing on your account seems to indicate that you've created a page. Justiyaya 04:36, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry about that we, . This is Moorthy. It is not shared, this page is my page. I want to create a wikipage, can you let me know how to start about it. Astromoorthy (talk) 14:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Astromoorthy, WP:1st would be a good place to go to get some guidance. Do know that writing a new article on Wikipedia is not really encouraged for beginners and could be really discouraging. You should try some tasks in the task center first if you'd like an easier start.
- I'd still encourage you to point me to the name of your last article or provide more context about the one you are trying to make right now. It'd help me give much better advice Justiyaya 18:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, THank you so much for the suggestions. I have written my article, added citations, references everything and kept it under sandbox. But I cldnt see the publich button or even to point you. pelase help how to do that. Thanks. Astromoorthy (talk) 05:11, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Astromoorthy if you tell me the name of the page I could move it for you if the article is up to standards. Justiyaya 21:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sure. This is the page name - User:Astromoorthy/sandbox : Dr. S. Pothuvudaimoorthy. Can you please check.
- It would be great if you can check. Thanks. Astromoorthy (talk) 10:41, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Astromoorthy, writing a autobiography is not a good idea, we generally strongly discourage it and the subject does not seem notable. In most cases, the article will not be published and it'd be a much better use of your time to do something else instead. I should've noticed the page earlier and told you but I forgot to check for it when I saw your last message. Justiyaya 01:15, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Justiyaya THanks for the feedback. I totally understand. But his is about an astrology and astrologer. When i read few wikipages, there are many pages about a single person. Not some topic, just about a single person especially film directors, singers, sportsperson, businessman, doctors etc et. Then any other issue in this page. Because this page is not for marketing purpose or any promotions.
- Just wanted to understand in detail. Astromoorthy (talk) 15:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Astromoorthy, we usually only accept articles with multiple independent secondary sources providing significant coverage to the subject. Which means that the sources must cover the subject beyond brief mentions, be reputable, and not be paid for or connected to the subject. All the links in the article appears to be the same text republished as paid for promotional pages, which is why I do not believe that it could be published. Justiyaya 22:02, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Dear @Justiyaya Thank you for your feedback. I would like to clarify that I have not paid for any of the citations. The publications were either reached out to by me or approached me directly due to my work on building a temple, writing a book on astrology, and exploring wedding astrology. If these were paid articles, I would have provided distinct content and images to each. Additionally, there are references from reputable Tamil newspapers, which I’m unable to upload due to the platform's limitations.
- I kindly request to do the needful and I appreciate your understanding and assistance.
- Thanks. Astromoorthy (talk) 11:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Astromoorthy I mean... regardless of whether you've paid for it or not, they are clearly promotional in nature. I'm sorry, the draft has a extremely low chance at getting published that I just don't think it's worth your time to continue. Justiyaya 13:21, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from Bis-Serjetà? (11:45, 15 July 2024)
[edit]Hey, I have a question about tables.
On the article linked below, the table is wide enough that you need to scroll horizontally if you want to reach its end. I want to shorten it in order to fit it inside the webpage (no horizontal scrolling needed) and also to fit some images on the side for some reference.
Is it possible to shorten the width of a table? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eastern_Orthodox_saints --Bis-Serjetà? (talk) 11:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Bis-Serjetà?, good question! I'm not exactly good with tables (I think I've touched it one or twice in my Wiki editing career)... I've asked for you on the help desk and they'd definitely know the answer. Justiyaya 05:32, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- @WASIMULKARIMNILOY, writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged and it would most likely be fruitless. If you'd like to contribute to Wikipedia, try out some tasks listed on the task center first! Justiyaya 05:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

.
This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig
. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.
You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.
If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!
Current work
[edit]Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.
Future work
[edit]Increase constructive activation on mobile
As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.
Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

Question from Merqalicious (01:25, 13 August 2024)
[edit]Hello,
How can I create a page for my soccer team? --Merqalicious (talk) 01:25, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Merqalicious, that's not usually a good idea. In short, if your soccer team should get an article, someone (a wikipedia editor) would likely write an article for it. Writing about an article something you have a conflict of interest with is usually discouraged. For the policies surrounding it, check out WP:N and WP:COI. Justiyaya 07:32, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Hello Justiyaya,
I am really interested in learning more about Wikipedia! I really like your talents and my main goal is reverting vandalism and joining NPP! ScribblingScribe - TALK 17:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello ScribblingScribe, Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism is a really good way to get started reverting vandalism. NPP is a bit too early for you, maybe after some work in reverting and some article creation. I'm not as active on Wiki at the moment unfortunately and adoption is usually for those with a bit more time spent here. However, I'll be happy to guide you and answer any questions that may come up if you want to text me on discord or through a thread here if that's what you prefer.

Question from DejaVu809 (05:10, 6 September 2024)
[edit]Hi there,
I just submitted this Draft page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:DRAFT_-_Climate_Active
I'd like to remove the "DRAFT - " from the name, how can I do this? I can't seem to find the "move" button as the guides suggest.
Thank you --DejaVu809 (talk) 05:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @DejaVu809, it appears that someone already moved the page for you, thanks for messaging me. I've also seen that the draft was already declined, and I'll try to provide a bit more insight into why it was. The biggest issue in the article is notability, specifically, an article needs to be based off reliable sources that are secondary and independent to the subject. Adding a few newspapers covering the subject in detail, books, articles, magazines or even TV programs, could prove notability, our inclusion criteria for subjects. If sources like these do not exist but the subject is mentioned in reliable secondary and independent sources, it may be useful to send the content to an existing article, like Climate change in Australia#Policies and legislation.
