Question: Hey, can you please explain why this reference leads to a registration form? Are you aware of this? — B.J (talk) 02:08, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- @B.J: Looks like it's a university library link that leads to https://www.fulcrum.org/epubs/m326m4543?locale=en (registration needed). Note that that page lists WP:TWL as a login method. ~ rusty meow ~ 01:24, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

- Wiki profile
Charng Shan's wiki profile is to give recognition to a genre legend of his caliber and to act as a bridge between a niche community and a more mainstream-oriented audience. Please advise me why the article is deemed unconstructive and what changes need to be made for it to be eligible for publishing.

- Description
- Manually moved 43 discussions from User talk:Mathglot to new page User talk:Mathglot/Archive 26; hitting Publish to create the page triggered the page protection filter. I ignored it and saved it anyway. The likely culprit is section #39, § Ideas about Template:Sfnlink.

- Note: Your hunch looks to be correct, specifically with it thinking that Template:Pp was added. I won't mark this as moot so someone more experienced with filters can also review, but I'm not sure if this is anything that could be addressed in the filter. Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 04:53, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
