Hii can you help me with some basic knowledge about editing because i was planning to create articles about people who are on red link in deaths in 2025, thank you in advance <3 (also would love to know about my mentor as well! Introduction, flexes about how good at editing you are) --Doober doob (talk) 07:45, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

hello respected mentor, i was wondering if you're still there <3 Doober doob (talk) 22:09, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Doober doob! Apologies I missed your earlier message.

For basic help on editing, I recommend Help:Introduction. It is much easier to start by editing existing articles than to try to create new ones, but if you are interested in creating new articles you can check out the advice at Help:Your first article. For red links at Deaths in 2025, I would check to make sure that the person's article was not previously deleted, since if so they may not be notable enough according to our rules to warrant a Wikipedia article.

To learn more about me, feel free to check out my user page or some of the interviews I've given.

Cheers, Sdkb ^talk 22:15, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice respected mentor! I'd check them all out for sure! Take care <3 Doober doob (talk) 07:07, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2026!

Hello Sdkb, may you be surrounded by peace, success and happiness on this seasonal occasion. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Sending you heartfelt and warm greetings for Christmas and New Year 2026. Happy editing, Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:37, 18 December 2025 (UTC) Spread the love by adding {{subst:Seasonal Greetings}} to other user talk pages.

--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:37, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, @Ozzie10aaaa! While I appreciate the sentiment, per the editnotice on this page celebrating Christmas is not part of my personal cultural tradition. The documentation of {{Seasonal Greetings}} lists some more inclusive options and recommends those for any editors whose preference you do not know; those may be useful for other editors you wish to send a greeting to. Cheers, Sdkb ^talk 15:45, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Why would you who is supposedly an admin suggest TFD a valid template. They have uses, where an article absolutely requires that section to be valid. They aren't placeholders though and should be discouraged as much as possible. A page created with this template would not be moved to main space if created as a draft. Its lazy editing, that you seem to wish to encourage.

This section is not critical in any way to the article. Look forward to seeing how long that template is on an article. It has already been two years, and I would suggest if you care about the article that you resolve the situation and edit the encyclopaedia. Blethering Scot 22:23, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out here, @Blethering Scot (link to the edit for anyone else interested). I have that article on my watchlist but don't particularly care all that much about it; I moreso care about {{Empty section}}. You seem to have the view that they should not be used as placeholders, but I'm not sure what else they could be used as. As the documentation there says, Content tends to follow sectioning on Wikipedia, as editors naturally will tend to fill in sections over time. Therefore, using this template to set up good placeholder sections at the start of an article's lifespan can aid its development over time. I've found this to be true — knowing how to structure an article and what types of content belong in it can be a difficult task for many editors (especially newcomers) and requires familiarity with high-quality articles in a topic area. Appropriately tagged placeholder sections aid with that, providing an easy entry point for editors who wish to contribute. That hasn't happened yet with Tatte (a low-traffic article) but it may in the future.

Regarding lazy editing, yes, it's always better to write out a section than to mark a placeholder, but that requires a lot more effort, and we're all volunteers with limited capacity. Regarding whether or not the section is critical to the article, I'd say a "Food" section describing the type of cuisine served is something I would absolutely expect to find in any FA on a restaurant (and the one restaurant FA I could find at a glance does have one). It's the same as with any other company, where we devote some space to covering their products.

I hope all that helps clarify my view, and that it persuades you not to remove other placeholder sections in the future. Cheers, Sdkb ^talk 22:40, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

I will remove them when not required and place better templates. They aren't placeholders and are lazy editing. If that's the admin you wish to be, then so be it. But its a poor view that fails to encourage standards. Blethering Scot 22:42, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

Guideline and policy news

• All general sanctions imposed by the community may now be enforced at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard (WP:AE) as a result of a recent RfC.
• Due to the result of a recent RFC, the administrator recall process is amended to extend the deadline for a re-request for adminship to 30 days or the next administrator election, whichever is later.
• Changes to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy's disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal). See WP:TAIVDISCLOSE for more information.

Arbitration

• Following the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: Aoidh, Asilvering, Girth Summit, Guerillero, HJ Mitchell, HouseBlaster, Izno, Sdrqaz, SilverLocust.
• The arbitration case Pbsouthwood has been suspended.

Hi Sdkb,

I hope you are doing well! My enthusiasm towards opening a new WP:DRV right now is very low, but the idea is growing on me after this message from User:MEN KISSING and this other discussion at Izno's user page, and I would like to know your opinion about it.

As I was explaining in one of my comments at the ANI about The Banner, recently I added support for the |class= and |style= parameters to {{Numbered verses}}; and because {{Sanitize HTML attribute}} has been deleted, instead of simply writing

<div style="{{Sanitize HTML attribute|{{{style}}}}}">...</div>

I had to write

<div style="{{#invoke:translitteratio|aucta|{{{style}}}|<>[]"'|&lt;|&gt;|&#91;|&#93;|&quot;|&apos;}}">...</div>

In this case, a deletion review to restore {{Sanitize HTML attribute}} will have to rely on “substantial procedural errors in the deletion discussion”. If we remove The Banner for procedural reasons, that discussion saw only the participation of the nominator, me, and another user. Such a scarce participation would be easily followed by a relist; and if we add that the template would benefit {{Numbered verses}}, there should be enough ground to re-open it. What are your thoughts/suggestions for me about opening a new WP:DRV? Do you think it is a good idea? I sincerely think that {{Sanitize HTML attribute}} can benefit Wikipedia beyond the current needs of {{Numbered verses}}. --Grufo (talk) 03:30, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

The DRV I opened for {{List with serial comma}} is the first time I can recall using that process, so I wouldn't say I'm particularly familiar with it. But my experience from that discussion is that taking anything there is an uphill battle. Since no matter how misguided the decision to a delete a template may have been, you have to overcome not only delete !voters who may prefer to dig in their heels rather than admit they were misguided but also editors who philosophically object to changing the outcome of even a sparsely attended discussion unless there was a clear error by the closer.

Given those factors, I'd say use DRV only as a last resort once every other path (e.g. asking the closer to remove their close) has been pursued. I haven't looked into the specific situation you're referencing enough to be able to say whether it's at that point. Cheers, Sdkb ^talk 04:20, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, Sdkb. Unfortunately the closer already stated that they are not willing to re-open the discussion (with the argument that more than one month has passed since it was closed), so a WP:DRV might be the only way. I agree with everything you said, although in this case The Banner's block and the scarce participation might facilitate the whole process. I'll give myself a bit of time to think if I want to go through that procedure again. --Grufo (talk) 05:18, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

The article Kepler-Gymnasium Ulm has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non Notable

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Blethering Scot 08:31, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kepler-Gymnasium Ulm is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kepler-Gymnasium Ulm until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Dear Mentor, Today, a person marked all the images I uploaded on Wikimedia Commons as violations of the rules. That person also marked an image that was originally downloaded from Wikipedia and then edited using my mobile image editor. I am very confused about what types of images Wikipedia accepts without violating its rules. Can you please help me understand these rules in simple language, so that such mistakes do not happen again? --RomeoSingh2010 (talk) 12:23, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @RomeoSingh2010! Wikipedia only accepts freely licensed images, so you cannot upload any image you found on the internet. Your own images that you took on your camera are acceptable, though, as are a narrow range of others that have entered the public domain (usually because they are decades old) or been released under a free license (usually Creative Commons). This graphic explains the rules. If you show the admin who blocked you on Commons that you understand this and will not upload copyright violations going forward, your block may be lifted (we use blocks to prevent disruption, not to punish anyone).

Regarding the image that you edited, that may have been caught up in the mass deletion of copyright violations. I'd reply pinging the users who left notices on your talk page, link to the filename/page of the deleted image, explain that it is an edited version of an image elsewhere on Commons, and ask for help restoring it and fixing the licensing. Feel free to let me know if you continue to have trouble.

Hey, hope you are well! Could you help with this? There are two Minnie T. Wrights:

• Minnie T. Wright, American composer and pianist
• Minnie T. Wright, African American clubwoman.

They were recently (correctly) split from an erroneously conflated personage. Now there is a Minnie T. Wright (disambiguation) but also a general Minnie T. Wright that redirects there. Am I correct that only the latter should exist, and just be a disambig without disambig in the title? I think the current disambig should just be deleted, right? I need to create a redirct for Minnie Wright, but want to wait until this is resolved, haha. Aza24 (talk) 20:35, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Aza24! Minnie T. Wright should be the disambiguation page, I believe, and Minnie T. Wright (disambiguation) can redirect there, tagged with {{R from unneeded disambiguation}}. I'd attempt to move the (disambiguation) title to the plain title. If that doesn't work or anything else funky happens, I sometimes just submit it to WP:RfD to get eyes from editors more familiar with the area. Cheers, Sdkb ^talk 23:11, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Sdkb,

I was working on a draft for the drama "Back to Work!", but someone else just published a live version in the Mainspace first.

Since I started my draft before they created the page, is it possible to do a History Merge so I can be listed as the first author and get credit for the article I have written?

Here are the links:

While my draft was in the early stages, it was the first record of this topic created at 17:39, Jan 21. Even if the content is expanded now, I would like my initial contribution to be reflected in the page history for proper attribution. WP:HISTMERGE exists precisely for cases where a draft and a mainspace article overlap. MeloMaster (talk) 17:10, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @MeloMaster! I'm not particularly familiar with history merges, but you can try following the instructions here. People creating mainspace articles when drafts already exist is an unfortunate tendency — I wonder if there is something we could do that's stronger than just the {{Draft exists}} editnotice to try to curb the problem. Sdkb ^talk 17:46, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
