Am I extended-confirmed yet? I have made over 500 edits to Wikipedia and on my user page it says that I have been on Wikipedia for a month, but I still seem to be autoconfirmed. What's going on? --Gioguch (talk) 01:07, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
I made an update to the Wikipedia article about the most mysterious song on the internet which was then removed by somebody. Please contact me so I can discuss the changes I made or give me the contact information of who controls the removal of information and who first posted it. I was the singer of the song and wrote the lyrics in an ad lid contest in the early 1980s. If you need some type of proof of this let me know what I need to furnish to you to prove this? There was no copyright filed on it and I had no idea they had recorded me when it was sang in the contest but will furnish you whatever it will take to prove this.
Thank you.

Courtesy link: Adderall
There is incorrect information on the Adderall page. The TAAR info has human in front of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.119.7.162 (talk) 01:48, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
I submitted a request Trndsettr4fire (talk) 01:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Earlier, I disabled the previews feature. However, when I clicked on the "Enable Previews" button, nothing happens. I don't even the option to enable previews. What is going on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.0.66 (talk) 08:10, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
I was never logged in to begin with. I don't even have an account. Is there a way to fix the "Enable Previews" button? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.0.66 (talk) 19:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Now that "display-authors" is deprecated is there a way to do this in Visual Editor please? I have been advised to limit to 6 authors.
Chidgk1 (talk) 08:24, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
|displayauthors=
is deprecated; |display-authors=
(with the hyphen) is not deprecated:
((cite journal |title=Title |journal=Journal |author=Black |author2=Brown |author3=Red |author4=Orange |display-authors=2))
→ Black; Brown; et al. "Title". Journal.|displayauthors=
is deprecated, it is still functional. There are several editors currently running awb scripts that are cleaning up newly deprecated cs1|2 parameters. You might want to edit the TemplateData for whichever cs1|2 template you are using to remove |displayauthors=
or find someone who will (I will not be that someone).I remember a while ago seeing some info about some effort to do this tidily (perhaps in Phabricator: Citoid or https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/visualeditor-mediawiki-references/) but now I cannot find it.

Could you add the last name Flatland as a name in Wikipedia. I cant find any family history anywhere but it would be nice if it were recognized as a surname. Thank you D. Flatland — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.41.205.17 (talk) 11:22, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Dear experts,
I have configured a table within a table on my User:SCHolar44/subpage6 page. As show in the table, I need to move the Column 2 heading up to the top of the column, and to have a [Show] button to disclose text currently in the form of Lorem ipsum "greeking". The current "Summary" heading and adjacent button would go. I would greatly appreciate advice on how to do this.
In the Edit view, I have also included a note asking what the purpose of a "width="40%" line is.
Sincerely, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 18:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I work for a digital agency that manages the website of Vivo Energy and they have requested that I help them with changing information that is wrong or out of date on the page for the company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivo_Energy .
I have left comments on the talk page to try and get some things changed however the editor that has been helping me feels that they can't take too many suggestions from me due to my conflict of interest on this, however some of the information on the page is still incorrect. I appreciate that this editor is just trying to stick to guidelines and the spirit of the guidelines, so I don't want to spend time trying to persuade them to make the edit - is there a way that I can get the attention of other editors on this page so that they can review the requested changes for me?
Thanks --TomTCantarus (talk) 11:53, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Where do i go to edit a suggested article to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exptix (talk • contribs) 14:21, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
If you go the article on the River Wye and looks on the talk page, one will see a sub-section entitled "ENGLISH-WALES BORDER". There some one says "Some people would say Monmouthshire is in England". User: Ghmyrtle has typed a reply saying "Some people are wrong, that is why we write educational articles such as "this". The word "this" is in blue letters, suggesting it is a wikilink, and indeed if you click on it one does get to an article on Monmouthshire. My question is, how does one get to do what User: Ghmyrtle has done and type a simple word such as "this" and make it a wikilink to a Wikipedia article? Many thanks for any help, Vorbee (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Dear User: DuncanHill, thank you for your very prompt response. I have tried piping on the sandbox on my userpage - seeing whether this would take me to the article on Martin Luther. It did. In all of the many years I have been using Wikipedia, I am sure I have seen piping getting people to specific sections of articles. How do I do this, please?

WP:BLANKING says "A number of important matters may not be removed by the user—they are part of the wider community's processes: [including] The "Old Warnings" ((ow)) template." (Template:OW).
So what do you do if the users deletes the template? This really seems like it is too minor to take to ANI, but on the other hand if we have a "don't remove this" rule that isn't enforced, why bother having it? Is the answer proposing that we remove the rule? To go to ANI anyway and no doubt to get shot down for complaining about such a minor infraction? Perhaps we should write up a standard warning template for this. --Guy Macon (talk) 16:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
