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.

Happy editing! Cheers, wizzito | say hello! 02:14, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Have user rights icon on my user 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)

• 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)

A barnstar for you!

	The Teamwork Barnstar
	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)

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)

Confusion over page creations for Boomerang and Cartoonito TV channels

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)

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)

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

RCat shell

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)

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)

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

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)

History merge

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)

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.

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.

Miscellaneous

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

Note on MediaWiki pages

Hi, Primefac and Amakuru! I've been monitoring and continue to monitor erroneous facets contained inside articles and pages indexed at Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace, but upon entering Category:Non-talk pages with an edit request template‎, I've found two MediaWiki/interface pages which may have errors in them. Due to my user rights, I'm unable to edit them. Should I leave them as they are? Intrisit (talk) 18:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

They were transcluding the talk page, actually. I've put a <noinclude> around the request which appears to have cleared the category. Now you know for next time :-) Primefac (talk) 19:59, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

• Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
• Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
• Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
• MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
• Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
