I was trying to make a change on the English version but it did not work and now it has this message in red at the top: Cite error: There are tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
Can you remove that message? I have no idea how to do that.
So sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.158.152 (talk) 03:44, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted an opinion on a matter of not linking to a GNU-licensed image in order to serve as a functional button.
I'm a template editor who's refurbished ((Post-it large))
. I really wanted to have an image that would function as a "refresh" button, because it's compact and cooler looking, like how AnomieBot gets to have a big red "off" button.
A paragraph in WP:ALT remarks that (emphasis mine):
Wikipedia articles sometimes contain images that do not link to an image page, for example an Information icon. ... Removing the link is acceptable for images in the public domain or the equivalent CC0. Links should not be suppressed for any image that requires attribution.
So Template:Post-it large has, right now, an unattributed link to File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg, which instead links to the action "refresh page".
Since Gnome-colors-view-refresh is licensed GNU GPL v.2 or later, technically it's a copyright violation. I've tried other icons [1][2][3] that are in the public domain/C00 but they pretty much all suck.
How big a deal is this attribution-through-linking? Meteor sandwich yum (talk • contribs) 06:01, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
I want to edit the "Contents" box in the article Death of Osama bin Laden (the subparagraphs need adjusting), but cannot see how to get into it. It does not show up in the wikicode on the edit page. Where is it? - P123cat1 (talk) 08:36, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
I have looked at the help section. The right number of = signs enclose the sub-sub-paragraphs in the edit text (I did not need to alter anything), but these are not showing up in the table of contents, e.g. para 3.3 does not show 3.3.1, 3.3.2 etc. Why is this? - P123cat1 (talk) 09:31, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
I will leave a note on the talk page. I did not think a change of this sort would be such a big deal; the content of the article was not being altered in any way. --P123cat1 (talk) 10:09, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia publishing team;
I'm writing this letter to express how surprised I am with "Death toll" article. I noticed that "Muslim Conquest on the Indian subcontinent" poped up at the top of the list of "List of Wars by Death toll", it was not even in the list ??!!!
When I checked the reference of these numbers, I was shocked to see there is no concrete evidence for these numbers, I really cannot understand how "demographic changes" can be considered as an evidence for massacres with 60,000,000 to 80,000,000 deaths. It is academically wrong to publish such false info without strong evidence on such huge numbers.
I really advice you to reconsider publishing such false info and seek strong and concrete evidence before putting it here as such false info published here in wikipedia would severely damage your credibility.

In the past if I typed Wikipedia into my browser I instantly got Wikipedia with a space to wright my question into. Lately this space does not appear any more. Has that been changed? It was very convenient. Or is Wikipedia becoming as complex and complicated as everything else in computer land? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.170.42.160 (talk) 12:21, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedians,
On several articles there is a header template followed by a sidebar template without any whitespace in between (see here for an example), which looks rather ugly. One can force a whitespace between them manually (eg. with ((-)) ), but that's not very elegant and is a potential source of trouble down the line. Is there a better way to handle this?

This Lledrod (Bwlch-y-Rhiw farm) is at the other end of Wales, near Oswestry. Although the B4580 is partly within Powys, no part extends to Ceredigion. Thus, the entire page two entry for Bwlch-y-rhiw farm should be deleted: it is entirely another part of Wales.17:21, 25 May 2014 (UTC) clive betts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clive betts (talk • contribs)
