Question from Brianbladewilson on American Me (band) (18:10, 13 April 2024)

Hello, I was editing the “current members” section and something went wrong in the coding/format. I think it’s something small I’m missing. Please help? Thanks --Brianbladewilson (talk) 18:10, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there @Brianbladewilson! I've reverted your edit to see what the problem was (make sure if you accidentally break something you revert the edit to not leave it broken), and it seems like all that was missing was two curly brackets }} at the end of the box.

If you look into the code you'll see this table on the side reads "{{Infobox musical artist" at the top. This template specifically is used to give specific info about the artist. All templates are defined by two curly brackets on either side; they'll display anything that is on that page inside of the page you use the template on. By using {{Infobox music artist}}, it will display everything on the Template:Infobox musical artist article (except the instructions). This works for every non mainspace article.

Question from Zozopelli (12:39, 18 April 2024)

https://coronadoconcert.com/our-beloved-bandstand/

I would like to preserve Coronado, California history... A music teacher sold his car to create an on-going community concert lasting over 50 years.

Don't want to re create the wheel or just the current website... Best way to ingest stories, images, videos.

Thanks in advance... Best zozo --Zozopelli (talk) 12:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there @Zozopelli! This is an interesting read.

Although it is interesting information, it seems to be too outside of the Wikipedia:Scope of the article about Coronado, California. This article is about the city itself, and details about the history of concert within it are too specific for an article of its size.

Perhaps you can find another more specific article where this information can be used, or even creating an article about the location itself? Panini! • 🥪 22:12, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Beachweak (22:05, 21 April 2024)

Hello! I'm new to editing Wikipedia. There are various pages on the Aphex Twin discography (such as Joyrex J4 EP & Joyrex J5 EP) that have limited sources. I wanted to add sources from something like Discogs to show the appearance and / or track listings of the EPs are accurate, but I've read Wikipedia disallows Discogs as a source. What should I do? Thank you. --Beachweak (talk) 22:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, @Beachweak! Can you let me know what exact information you are trying to source in these lists? That will help with my answer.

If you are just trying to source the songs on the track lists such as the one on Analogue Bubblebath#Track listing, you technically don't need to. The object of discussion is usually the source itself (such as how we don't source plot sections per WP:PLOTCITE), so this does not need to be verified, per se. Information that needs verification to be true, such as writer credits and release dates, require sources however. Let me know what it is you want to source and I can help you out from there! Panini! • 🥪 20:57, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! After I did some more reading on Wikipedia sources and verification and such, I realised the verification was needed for other claims in the article and not the track listing. However, on a semi-related note, would Discogs be able to be cited if I couldn't find information on a topic anywhere else? I'm currently drafting an article on an EP, Draft:London 19.08.2023, and some of the information (mainly the price and stock numbers of the record) can only be found on this Discogs page[1]. I plan to eventually write other articles on related Aphex Twin EPs and it would be helpful to know in case I make a mistake. Thank you! Beachweak (talk) 21:10, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Beachweak, So I'm having trouble finding where exactly it says this right now, but price and stock numbers are not usually mentioned in our articles because they don't serve much encyclopedic value. In some cases where the price itself is of note (such as people widely complaining about the price of something) we include it, but this rule is in place to keep it neutral and free of promotional info (see WP:NOTAD). As such, don't worry about it! Panini! • 🥪 03:52, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Beachweak, found it (I say I found it but they did, the rule is WP:NOTPRICE. Panini! • 🥪 02:09, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Growth News, April 2024

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.

If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Community Configuration

Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.

An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.

In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.

Experiment Results

Add a Image experiment analysis results

The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:

The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).

Personalized praise experiment results

This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)

English donors encouraged to try editing

As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)

Future work

Annual Plan

The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Question from Beachweak (22:40, 25 April 2024)

Hi there! I've been doing some reviews of the pages Money Money 2020, Trans Am (EP) and Money Money 2020 Part II: We Told Ya So!. In the "chronology" section for each release, it seems to differ slightly; in the first, Trans Am (EP) isn't mentioned anywhere and the page contains a blank "singles" category in the infobox. In the second, Trans Am (EP) is inserted into the chronology. In the third, it's not present in the chronology, but is present in the "singles" section. How do you think the EP should be displayed? I couldn't find any pages on how the chronology section works but I feel like the EP should be mentioned somewhere in their chronology. Thank you! --Beachweak (talk) 22:40, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Beachweak, sorry for the late reply, but here I am finally.

The blank singles was because it was never technically filled out. The "name" header was to cite the name of the album, and a "single1" parameter needed to be used (see the difference in my edits for clarification). Why it doesn't just assume the name of the album I don't know.
For the chronology I'm not sure why Trans Am (EP) wasn't mentioned but I added it to the chronology. Now I'm not too sure why that is or if there's a specific rule for this one as well, but for all the music works I've done so far I skip over those EPs if there isn't an article for it. If there is, go for it!

Question from UnlockSalmon on User:UnlockSalmon/sandbox (15:35, 29 April 2024)

How do sent draft for review? --UnlockSalmon (talk) 15:35, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there @UnlockSalmon! After looking at your draft you seem to have submitted it correctly already. Good work!

All there is left to do is wait. Wikipedia has a large backlog of pending articles at any given time, so it is likely to take a while before the article is reviews. In the meantime you can work on other articles, or polish the draft. I would recommend writing a lead section for your article (see here), and translating your article's references into English (see WP:RSUE). Perhaps there is an image of traditional clothing in Thailand that you can find on Wikimedia Commons as well? Panini! • 🥪 16:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Puzzleshaman! I apologize for the wait on my response. 6 days is really bad on my end...

Looking through your contributions and user page, it seems the page (which you have accidentally created on your user page instead of a draft), was speedy deleted per WP:NOTBLOG. This deletion was conducted by the user Fastily (great user), and since I have no access to the article they can give you a more detailed explanation if you politely reach out to them. I'm pretty sure you should also be able to retrieve the contents, as I assume that is where your panic comes from (be wary of all-caps, per WP:SHOUT).

I recommend you upload your article through our WP:Article Wizard in the future, where you can workshop your article in the background of Wikipedia until you're ready to officially submit it for review, where you can also receive further advice as you work on it.

Hey there @Poisoned Comics! Just as a heads-up, do not expect me to answer this fast in the future; you coincidentally caught me on my morning browse (although today's "morning" browse is very late as I had other things to do before this).

First check to see if your article meets our general notability guidelines. Give this linked list a look-over first, and I also recommend browsing the rest of it to see if there's other information relevant to the article you want to make. Then, you can use our WP:Article Wizard as an easy-to-use template to get you started. There will be a lot of relevant information as you go forward that will help ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Creating an article is tricky, and requires some hard work; my first article barely made it through without the help of other veterans picking it up. But that's why I'm here! If you have any questions, please reach out to me the same way you did here. Panini! • 🥪 17:07, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weird messages due to Elliot Rodger article

Hey @Shoot for the Stars, sorry you have to put up with this. Difficult and controversial subjects can garner a lot of trolls and mobs into your corner (see SandyGeorgia unfortunately).

I highly recommend you also read this essay to prepare you for future encounters. Such article subjects are very involved with the internet and will therefore attract a lot of people to this site.

Hey there @FilmmakingFanDude! This is a good question, and also a tough one. Your work here so far is pretty good for one, but the decline reason is a lack of reliable sourcing.

What I have seen time and time again with fictional character articles is that they are usually declined for a lack of significant coverage pertaining to the character, and the character alone. They're pretty tough to get published because they're put under very tough scrutiny by the community, as they usually look through the sources to see if the source actually discusses the character in any significance. This doesn't usually happen with other articles. Because they hate character articles. They're chracist. Chracism.

So make sure that the sources you use are in-depth and really relevant to the character. Does this source discuss the character's design and development with in-depth detail? Or the voice actor? Or their role in the films? What about critical discussion? This is just a hunch and I have not looked into it at all so don't take my word for gospel, but this just has to be a notable character. It just has to be! But that's about the best advice I can give since this stuff isn't really my domain. For more specific advice, I call on Kung Fu Man and (Oinkers42), who are heavily involved in this line of work, and should be able to spot specifics better than I can. Any suggestions, you two?

Question from Nickpetersen2023 (10:34, 3 July 2024)

I would like to add an article about the Bulgarian Top Level Domain register .bg. The organization that operates the national registry is called "Register.BG". I did create a draft page at http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User:Nickpetersen2023/Register.BG Please help me how the page can be published. Thank you!

Hey @Nickpetersen2023, sorry for the late reply! It seems the article was unfortunately declined since, but it seems to bee just for reliability issues and the formatting looks perfect; as long as you can find more detailed documentation from reliable sources (see that link for what makes a source reliable), the article will definitely go up from there.

Cruft

Why do you think Special:Diff/1236229523 is cruft? Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 14:43, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without response, your edit was regarded WP:NOCRUFT and reverted. Nintendo Life is a reliable source on WP:VG/S so I suggest you discuss over talk page first if you find the source questionable Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 02:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Emiya Mulzomdao, that's totally fair on your end. You've done all you can to discuss and that's on me for not reaching out when necessary. Although I was a bit trigger-happy on the revert, after some thought I still believe it counts as a form of cruft, but I'm short on time (as in, it's late for me, I'm tired) at the moment. When I get around to being more active, probably tomorrow, I'll spew some ☝️🤓 nonsense and thoroughly discuss why on the talk page. For now, it's a high quality edit so it's not too big of a deal to revert right now, especially considering it's disagreed upon. You could reach out to Wikiproject video games if you want a second opinion in the meantime, and considering how most article talk pages aren't actively watched some faces there will likely weigh in regardless. And sorry to postpone something so trivial! Panini! • 🥪 03:08, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Community Configuration

The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration.

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

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

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.

Re:A barnstar for you!

Thanks for the barnstar! In regards to whether I intend to work on any other Mario Party games, although I originally planned to move on to games in the Yoshi and Kirby series, seeing as I've already started working on Mario Party: Island Tour, I might as well as work on all of the handheld games. I don't have access to Mario Parties 4–7 or Mario Party Advance, so help with any of those would be greatly appreciated. (Also, even though Mario Party 4 and Mario Party 5 are already good articles, their nominations passed in 2008, so both articles could probably still use some work.) ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 18:14, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @The Green Star Collector, if you had no further plans for the series then don't feel obligated to do so; I was just checking to make sure since I saw the pattern, and it'd be great to knock them all out with someone.

Of the 20 GAs I have 14 of them are for games I've never played, so tackling those GameCube ones wouldn't be a problem for me in that case. Pre-2008 is when source-hunting gets a little hard so that may be a new challenge, so I'll test the waters on one of them when I get the time (see below). Panini! • 🥪 05:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for help

Hi, Panini! Since you have a lot of experience with making GAs, I was wondering if you could help me with one I am trying to make. I'm trying to make Super Kirby Clash into a GA, but I am having trouble with the Reception section. Would you be willing to help with that? Thanks, QuicoleJR (talk) 18:53, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @QuicoleJR! I'm right there with you. I hate doing them and they never stop hurting the head. It's the only reason why Luigi's Mansion isn't a good article and why Year of Luigi isn't a good topic.

I've been busy with schoolwork (Bible college does schoolwork too) that should clear up by next week but it currently has me in a headlock. I can't sit down and directly lay hands (not the Christian kind) on the article until then unfortunately. If you'd rather not wait that long, you can check out this guide I wrote a long time ago that helped me simplify the process enough to make it easier. It's a little outdated to my current standards nowadays-note how I site USGamer as an example-but it should definitely outshine any reception section prior to a rewrite. It should help your GA review go more smoothly.

Let me know if you have any questions! Panini! • 🥪 13:18, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@QuicoleJR, I have some general comments for now. I'm not going to go source digging while in school because I don't want any of these talkative people seeing Kirby on my screen and starting a conversation about it ("omg I love Kirby!"). Unlike the me on this website that will say some stupid quip to anything anyone has to say, I am dead silent IRL.

Now that I'm looking at this, it doesn't look like this game had much traction due to its short release window and free to play nature. I've done these before: see Amiibo Tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits and Animal Crossing Plaza. In fact, Animal Crossing Plaza didn't even have a reception section at all at first but still passed it's GA review. Only afterward was Kung Fu Man able to find enough for me to put something together, and I reached out to him just in case to see if he can find something we can't.

Nintendo Life, Nintendo World Report, and Kotaku are the only ones who gave detailed commentary, so feel free to exhaust them. Since you have a lack of many sources, it's not expected of you to do some huge reception section. Just take those three sources and cover anything they give you to a comprehensive extent. Try to see if you can use these sources to hit all of the main points a typical reception section would (plot, gameplay, graphics, etc.), even if it's small.

If you find two editors have a similar critique, to any extent at all, please merge the two! This helps give balance to the fact that there is some critical consensus on certain topics.
I would move the IGN sentence to right after the Metacritic info, and split that into a separate paragraph. Unlike the rest of the details, these are specifically statistics, and have enough merit to be split.
Don't forget to italicize these news sites (Nintendo Life)
Here is a minor minor blurb and mention by PocketGamer. You can mention this right after IGN. They cite the in-game purchases as a downside.

What a great article! It's of the upmost importance to spotlight dedicated servants of the Lord. We should love the people who look like Jesus, but because they do such a good job at it we sometimes can't see it! We often spotlight the scandalous; most people who spend their entire lives loving Him are often overlooked by the world, and even the church, but luckily not in God's eyes.

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version on beta wikis and we will soon start an A/B test on our pilot wikis. This module will only display on the Newcomer Homepage if communities decide to utilize it, so learn how to configure the Community Updates module, or share your thoughts on the project's talk page.

Constructive activation experimentation

After showcasing early design ideas at Wikimania, we conducted user testing of design prototypes. We now aim to engage communities in further discussions and plan to run a targeted experiment, presenting a structured task within the reading view to logged-in new account holders with zero edits.

Community Configuration

This Community Configuration extension was developed to help communities customize wiki features to meet their unique needs. The Growth team is now helping other Wikimedia Foundation teams make their products configurable:

The Moderation Tools team now provides Community Configuration for Automoderator. (T365046)
Certain Babel extension settings will be configurable soon. (T328171)

Future work

As part of the Growth team annual plan, we will continue to investigate ways to increase constructive activation on mobile, while also working with Data Products to move forward A/B testing functionality via the Metrics Platform.

Community events

Growth team members presented Community Configuration: Shaping On-Wiki Functionality Together at Wikimania (slides). The session recording is available to watch on YouTube. This session provided an update on the Community Configuration project and introduced details about the upcoming features that communities will soon be able to configure. Representatives from the Moderator Tools, Editing, Web, and Campaigns teams shared their plans for utilizing Community Configuration in the future. Following these presentations, the WMF Growth team's Benoît Evellin and Martin Urbanec answered audience questions.
Habib Mhenni gave a presentation of how mentorship works at WikiIndaba 2024. The recording is available.

Luigi Video Games

I was discussing recently the situation of List of Luigi video games with some other editors. Per its prior AfD, very few editors seem to think it really should be included on Wikipedia, since Luigi games aren't one overarching series, and there is no strong sourcing to tie the games together as one group. (Yes, I looked, you'd be surprised.) However, it was kept under a no consensus as there was no agreement as to what should be done with the article. A suggestion that was brought up in the recent discussion was to create a Luigi's Mansion series page, which is the bulk of the list's main games, in order to split that list off, which was a big suggestion for improving this list during the AfD. That way, it can be better illustrated that the list doesn't really function on its own, while also creating a helpful series split-out more informative than what can currently be communicated on the current list.

Given your work on Mario related topics before, including Year of Luigi, among other Luigi-related topics, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the matter, or if you feel this idea is even feasible in the first place. This admittedly isn't an article too high on my priority list for tackling, but I felt it may be worthwhile to bring this up in order to discuss potential outcomes for the article with someone who's far more experienced in this subject area than I am. That way a plan be created for next steps regarding this article going forward. Please let me know if you have any strong thoughts on any aspects of the above, and let me know if I can clarify anything in my proposal. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about that, @Pokelego999. I'm the record-holder for most amount of Luigi good articles in one year (verify). So, yeah, I know my stuff.

I planned on weighing in to that AFD discussion, but I guess I didn't. I probably forgot, sorry. I pretty much agree that such an article no longer needs to exist if this were the plan we take. The only weight the article carries comes from the Luigi's Mansion games, as well as the little stuff they put together for the Year of Luigi.

The Year of Luigi more than covers the relationship between those games. As for a Luigi's Mansion series article: is it possible? Yes. One billion trillion percent. Luigi's Mansion was Miyamoto's passion project and was also one of the best titles for the GameCube. There's a lot to say about it because of that. With 2 and 3 they passed development off to Next Level Games. This practically doubled the amount of critical commentary on the games, as well as the series evolution as a whole, for two reasons. One, NLG is based in Canada so American journalism was pretty easy. Miyamoto loves this series and is heavily involved with them, so not only does he help draw in journalism but he also likes doing the interviews with them. Two, NLG does not shut up and they love talking about the games so much. Dark Moon's development section is massive, and talks heavily about the transition between developers and entries. I go into detail of the series in that article because no series article existed when I made it, and it was not on my list to do so at the time. I have not touched the Luigi's Mansion 3 article, but even a page one google search reveals a lot of commentary: [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].

It really just comes down to whether or not effort is put into making a good one. Me personally, I'll do it if necessary, but only if I can do it right. I was burned out when I was working on the article Mario & Luigi and never finished it, but someone moved it over to mainspace regardless. I hate putting unfinished work out there with my name on it.

So I could get something basic out on my own, but it'd be a while. It's not on my list to do at the moment, but I think if I push myself to make it I would eventually start picking up traction to finish it. I would rather partner up to work on it f you're on a time crunch to have an article made. Panini! • 🥪 19:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Panini! I'm not in a time crunch myself to make this, so I'm perfectly fine with taking some time to cook this up, especially since I don't want to impact your schedule with this. If you'd like, I can start a userspace draft and just focus on source gathering for the time being and see what I can scrounge up. Once I've found everything I can we can work from there on next steps for creating this. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 19:53, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
