Question from Cashew Nazu (18:22, 1 January 2025)

How do I create citation? --Cashew Nazu (talk) 18:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

When you press "Edit" there is a toolbar at the top of the article and one of the buttons is "Cite". This is the easiest way — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:27, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Ec wiki edits (06:13, 30 December 2024)

Hello Martin. Thanks for being a mentor. I just finished my first draft wiki article in my sandbox. I pressed publish and it was reviewed but it got rejected because it was blank. I think I'm doing something wrong. My options won't let me "move" the article out of my sandbox. Not sure how to get the correct (written) content to the reviewers. Any advice welcome. Thank you!

@Ec wiki edits Apologies for the late reply. Your article stands at Mary Rodgers (biomechanist). Another user (@Aliceinthealice) moved it from your sandbox and added some categories. Thanks for your contribution — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:30, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Template:WIR

Might I enquire as to why you have created a subst-only wrapper for a template that passes everything identically to the main template, instead of just making it a redirect? (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 16:32, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Primefac and happy new year. Yes it was just to allow project members to use the shortcut WIR, which the bot will then convert to the expanded form, which makes readability of the wikicode easier and gives a bit more exposure to the project rather than have people scratching their heads over what WIR stands for. Is there a reason not to do it? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I guess that makes sense, thanks. Primefac (talk) 07:51, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
