Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the ((admin help)) template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Hi, WP Admin community!! Since I've reach the extended-confirmed rights threshold here on WP, I want to see it reflected on/in my user page like those of other Wikipedians! Can you show me how to do it or can you do it for me, please?! Intrisit (talk) 16:58, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• This isn't really an admin question but I'll do it anyway. They're called top icons, and the EC one is ((extended confirmed topicon)). Add it to your user page as you like. Katie^talk 17:11, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

	Hello, friend! Thank you so much for all your contributions to Wikipedia. Please know that your work is greatly appreciated. I am learning a lot from you. You make the internet a better place. Peace! Bianca Anne Martins (talk) 20:34, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Always wanted these sort of barnstars!! I'm almost a year and 1000 edits old here on WP. This means that I'm close to either you or anyone nominating me for an admin or bureaucrat someday. Intrisit (talk) 20:34, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I saw you moved Boomerang Nordic and Turkey pages to Cartoonito Nordic and Turkey, by writing "The 2023 changeovers from Boomerage to Cartoonito need no explanations", what did you mean with that frase? Is Cartoonito it a transition or a replacement to Boomerang? I want you to remember that in UK, France and Italy they have both Boomerang and Cartoonito as two separate channels who broadcast together in the same country. As someone proposed to split in two pages Cartoonito Asia and Boomerang Asia and made that split, the same thing hasn't been done on Boomerang CEE, Portugal and Africa, affirming that Boomerang's transition to Cartoonito is a transition not a rebrand (check out this difference and this discussion), making other people misunderstand that Cartoonito is still the same channel as Boomerang, just with another name. Too bad in UK, France and Italy it isn't like so: Cartoonito coexists alongside Boomerang as the two brands are broadcasting as two separate channels, both of which are broadcasting different shows: Boomerang broadcasts some shows which Cartoonito doesn't. I'm proposing to split Cartoonito CEE, Portugal, EMEA, Nordic and Turkey pages in two pages for each feed, so we could avoid confusion between the two brands, which are completely different.

• Boomerang is a kids-oriented channel with all Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry and Scooby-Doo stuff (also third parties), which moved to Cartoon Network on the countries above.
• Cartoonito is a pre-school channel, broadcasting Lucas the Spider, Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, Batwheels and Bugs Bunny Builders among other series.

What do you think it's better? Splitting the mentioned pages in two or leaving one page for two channels which only in appearance are similar? Remember what I said about UK, Italy and France. I propose for the splitting, since Boomerang and Cartoonito are two different brands of Warner Bros Discovery 79.21.5.118 (talk) 21:02, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This IP address 112.200.8.53 requested via WP:RMCD for the Nordic/Scandinavian and Turkish channel moves, hence my reason put out there for the moves. By "no explanations", I meant with the exceptions you just gave with the British/Irish, France, Italy, CEE, Iberia (Portugal) and my region Africa, as it's transitions and not full rebrands, the split will cause confusions, as also these channels alternate content you already depicted. Cartoonito is modern, yes, but still airs pre-2010 programming. Also, the transitions are meant to arrive at total rebrandings for the forseeable future. Canada on 28 February just had "Boomerang" available on "old" Cartoon Network, with the current CN on former Teletoon. Splitting the two different brands into their own standalone articles may sound good, but may end up as a reversion in the not-too-distant future. So, I'd say, keep it. Only split them if the two still persists in a year's time and notability and verifiability become no issues at all. Intrisit (talk) 06:34, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK, so let's wait if this transitions will be permanent or not 79.21.5.118 (talk) 18:15, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your edits wrapping redirect templates in ((Redirect category shell)). Please be sure to keep a line break (i.e. hit enter) after ((Redirect category shell)), between each category, and before the final two braces.

For example:

((Redirect category shell|
((R from move))
((R to disambiguation page))
))

Not:

((Redirect category shell|((R from move))((R to disambiguation page))))

Thank you. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:44, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Since I came on WP, I always don't do line breaks when installing Rcat shells on rdrs, but if that is the accepted process, I'll align on toward it moving foward. Thanks! Intrisit (talk) 18:50, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you. This is the standard practiced for formatting redirects, as it eases readability when editing. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:59, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also, when you update rcats after a move, do not remove or replace the ((R from move)) template, instead you may add additional relevant rcats on new lines with the rcat shell. Mdewman6 (talk) 23:02, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I was wondering if you have patrolling perms on wikipedia. If you could, could you add patrol on the adtec shah alam page? Thank you Editing and contributing (talk) 01:07, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have no rights or permissions yet, but through what you saw, have seen and more, I'm on the periphery of acquiring one, some or all. And by the way, there's nothing like patrol on a page/article here on WP - only protection and deletion. But since the page is at the start stages, I doubt it will happen - unless admins have something to do about that! Intrisit (talk) 14:20, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ok, good luck and all the best with that!

I mean this sort of patrol btw

Thanks for the insight nonetheless.

Again, all the best with your obtaining the perms! Editing and contributing (talk) 06:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM)) to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, Pppery! I saw you declined my history merge request. I thought a history merge request suffices beyond just cut-and-paste, copy-and-paste, cut-paste, copy-paste or copypaste scenarios. I requested it because in as much as they are separate creations, one is in the draft namespace (which could get published in the mainspace) and the other is already in the mainspace. Intrisit (talk) 08:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The purpose of a history merge is to restore the history where material from one page has been copied to another, so that the history of the new page does not record where that material came from, and gives the misleading impression that the person who posted it into the new page was its creator. Merging two completely separate pages on the same subject, with no overlapping content, serves no useful purpose, and in fact it is better not to do it, as it gives a misleading impression as to the editing history.

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2024 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor you should be able to advance to at least the second round, improving your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close on 31 January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), and Frostly (talk · contribs · email). Good luck!

Hi, Primefac! Could you please delete these titles: this and this?! Their significance in conversations about that specific topic has deprecated over time and I feel this may eliminate redundant titles created for convenience than archival education. I've merged their info in arranged order according to the timestamps on the conversations.Intrisit (talk) 18:19, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nope. This was done intentionally and probably shouldn't be overwritten without discussion. Primefac (talk) 19:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For the redirects, accepted location is at RFD, which I'll also do for San-Pédro, Ivory Coast, as that issue although halfway reached through RM consensus over article title parts, is not fully resolved. But for your reasons for the reversions of my archive merger (as well as an IP reverting my inappropriate CSD tag), which resolution location should I use? Because, please remember that these two article titles haven't been edited/worked on recently until I intervened and I'm afraid of using a wrong venture that could lead to myself getting blocked/banned. Intrisit (talk) 20:15, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You could just leave it be. The article had two peer reviews, which is why there are two archives. "Restoring" them doesn't really do anything, so you might as well just leave things as they are. Primefac (talk) 20:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.

Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), with one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, and two DYKs;
• Vami_IV (submissions), with one FA on Doom (2016 video game), one GA on Boundary Fire (2017), and 11 reviews;
• MaranoFan (submissions), with one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and two DYKs;
• Skyshifter (submissions), with one FA on OneShot and one DYK;
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with five GAs and five DYKs on television and radio stations;
• voorts (submissions) and Elli (submissions), both with one FA and one DYK each.

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I've been patrolling content pages with the category "Pages with templates in the wrong namespace" for over a month now, but it seems that that the talk page sections of pages with the "WikiProject Templates" template is counted as such. Because of the assumption of numerous transclusions or usages of that template which could mean a template protection, I'm seeking answers or clarity from you, the Admin community, instead of using the ((help me)) template as to why so?! Intrisit (talk) 08:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Normally MusikBot or MusikBot II (forgot which one) protects them based on transclusions. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (he|she|they) 19:06, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Xaosflux and JJMC89! Happy belated New Year in advance! I want to draw your attention to this user (Amortias), who is still an admin, despite his/her last logged edit or action coming on 23 March 2023 (almost a year ago) per my latest glance at the user's contributions page. Per WP:ADMINACTIVITY2022 and WP:INACTIVITY, this user must have had his/her admin rights removed/revoked a long time ago. After it's done, please reply so I can remove this notice from my page. Thanks! Intrisit (talk) 19:50, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You should use WP:BN for this, and Xaosflux usually handles inactive admins so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 20:17, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Curiously, JJMC89's bot (JJMC89 bot III) also usually handles this by giving notices to inactive admins ahead of/prior to their desysoppings. It seems that this user slipped through their fingers, including Xaosflux's - that's why I'm bringing this up! But it'll be my first time reporting this at BN - how do I approach it so as not to go the wrong way and have myself blocked?! Intrisit (talk) 20:25, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Let me take a look here. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:28, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Intrisit Which of the criteria do you think have been surpassed?

• "Has made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period" - you identified an edit 11 months ago.
• "Has made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period." - their most recent 100 edits span only ~25 months.

Perhaps you are confused and assume that the first criteria requires logged admin activity, which it does not. Should they stay inactive warnings and potential removal would be forthcoming later this year. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:40, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Spot on first! Not confused, I thought this slipped through your fingers in what I replied to Zippybonzo. Through those INACTIVITY pages, it seems I was put off with what led to these two scenarios you've stated. I've been monitoring the WP:INACTIVE page for over half a year now, but I saw this user name in none of the pages of logged desysopped admins which you compile since this started in 2011. I haven't seen JJMC89 bot III give any notice as yet! Thanks! Intrisit (talk) 20:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

One thing on timing, is we only process these in batch (because it is otherwise too cumbersome) - so someone may get their warning up to a calendar month "late" depending on where they are in the cycle, and the removals chase the warnings to the next month. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I reverted your edits to 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification because the subject is not notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:28, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've redirected it. But a friendly advice, instead of stating this to me next time, if it ain't notable in your view, simply redirect it! I only added references (primary, yes) from CAF as they just dropped in and tweaked the phrases and sentences in there for easy readability and removal of repetition and redundancy.

Thanks for uploading File:EFL Championship logo (2020–present).webp. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 21:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
