I read a BBC article posted on Facebook about a group of Wikipedia editors who work to identify and correct climate change misinfo on Wiki. I would like to be part of that. Who do I contact and/or how do I apply to become involved? Thank you. Harold Sturgis — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.99.153 (talk) 16:51, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Is there a way to make ((convert)) at Pali-Aike volcanic field's 4,500 square kilometres (1,700 sq mi)

Im new to Wikipedia, but i want to highlight a questionable wiki reference. I want to add the "who?" as in "who said that?", that i often see in articles around here. What code do i have to use for that? Thx. - Joaquin89uy (talk) 19:14, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
The relevant talk page has a note to the effect that few people look at it and one should raise any query here. This is mine: there is a Category:People convicted for homosexuality in the United Kingdom, but it is inaccurate. Nobody has ever been convicted in the UK for being homosexual: it is not and never has been illegal. What was illegal until the reforms that began in the 1960s was homosexual activity. The category would be accurate if it were changed to People convicted for homosexual offences in the United Kingdom. Strictly speaking that should be "Men who" rather than "People who", as there have never been any anti-gay laws affecting women, but "People" will do, perhaps.

I have written an article on Monmouth Coffee Company and am trying to add their logo to the infobox. Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard seems to need a file with its own web address, which I don't have as I found the logo in svg format, attached to their website https://www.monmouthcoffee.co.uk/ . It is text only so it should be public domain, but possibly not suitable for Commons. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? TSventon (talk) 19:56, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
ColinFine, thank you, I have got the following error messages, which I don't understand. When linking to downloaded copy

I have asked at Wikipedia:SVG help#Monmouth Coffee Company logo. TSventon (talk) 12:25, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Is there a magic word that returns the template name, including namespace (ie the namespace:name of the template that is currently being resolved)? I know I can hard-code it, but the template may change location, or change name, or be copied, and I don't want to have it break if that happens. --Verbarson talkedits 22:05, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

I noticed that in Category:Characters created by Jerry Siegel and Category:Characters created by Joe Shuster, Superboy appears at the start of the alphabetical list under the "*" sort key. While I'm familiar with sort keys, it didn't make sense to list Superboy alphabetically before all the other characters Siegel or Shuster created, so I went to the Superboy article to see about fixing the sort key for these categories near the end of the article. However, when I looked in the wikitext, I couldn't find Category:Characters created by Jerry Siegel or Category:Characters created by Joe Shuster listed among the article's categories at all. How is Superboy showing up in the categories for Siegel or Shuster's characters when those categories aren't listed in the wikitext? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:48, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
