Sistine Chapel ceiling

Hi Ham - I've done this, but what do you think about the above? Feel free to act if you want to! Best, Johnbod (talk) 03:35, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of statues of English and British royalty in London, a link pointing to the disambiguation page George II was added.

Westminster locpin map

Hi Ham - hope you're keeping well. I've been doing a bit with the lists of entries on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England, mainly just alphabetising, and adding bluelinks and images. The Listed parks and gardens in Greater London one was already almost complete, so here I'm just looking to see what gaps can be filled. Which has led me to doing Pimlico Gardens. Now, try as I might, I cannot get the little locator red dot to show on the map. Any idea why? KJP1 (talk) 13:28, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Have now got the red dot to appear, but it does so just off the map! London Westminster obviously won't work. Given Greater London is too big, can you suggest any other map that will include it? Thanks again. KJP1 (talk) 14:20, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
@KJP1: Hi KJP1! If you replace the | map = parameter altogether with | mapframe-zoom = 15, and adjust the number according to your preference, you get a map with the pushpin at the centre. That's what I always prefer to use in infoboxes. All the best, Ham II (talk) 14:33, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
Now that’s a nifty tool! Many thanks. I now feel I should use that on the others I’ve created, which is a rather daunting prospect… All the best. KJP1 (talk) 14:46, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

  • Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?
