Hi Wikipedia editors and administrators, last edit chance, inside the Wikipedia article, I spotted there is a mismatch in website in reference 110.

As described above - wikipedia now only uses half of my screen and has ugly white bands on the left and right side of the content. How do I fix this? Thanks! 2002:CB07:7877:0:74F0:B084:F12B:7CB4 (talk) 13:39, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
On the Tony Tulathimutte article, should these links that were removed on the article due to it being turned into a shock site be reported somewhere? I'm not checking the links out. Not sure if I should ask this or this is the proper place. I'm sure this may go against Wikipedia:NOTAFORUM. Cwater1 (talk) 15:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

template, fill in the appropriate parameters, fill in the archive parameters, and set the link status to "usurped". Once you do all that, anyone who click on our link will go to the archive. -Arch dude (talk) 17:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Does anyone know how to italicize text in a template? I'm trying to italicize text inside the interlanguage link template but none of the normal methods seem to work. Andumé (talk) 19:28, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

The documentation for ((limited access)) says that it can be used in cases of "providing the contents only to certain IP ranges/locales". However, it also says: "This template should only be used on references input as free text. Access signaling has been integrated in the CS1/2 citation templates. See the relevant documentation."
Unfortunately, the "relevant documentation" doesn't seem to provide any option for indicating geographically limited access – it only pertains to registration and subscription requirements. So I don't know how to mark CS1/2-cited sources as having geographically limited access. Is there a way to do that? Joriki (talk) 20:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

: free access is subject to limited trial and a subscription is normally required". That's also what the dotted lock icon suggests: A mild form of what the full lock icon stands for. People in the US who can access the content without restrictions might remove such a seemingly inapplicable access indicator. Shouldn't there be a separate one for geographical limitations?
