Amphimerycidae GT Links
I’ve noticed that for the Amphimerycidae GT box, the view and edit links don’t link to the correct pages while the discuss link is a red one. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you. PrimalMustelid (talk) 01:41, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
Re-nomination process
Hello all, this is a request regarding when a topic is renominated for GT after being previous demoted. As this means a nomination of that same topic to become a GT again just with more articles than the first nomination, it would be archive2 not an addition nomination. However as this may be confusing for nominations, should we include this guidance on the main page here? K. Peake 14:57, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

similar structure and are well-linked with each other?
I've got two FA's that fit into "Early 20th century history of the Bronx": American Bank Note Company Printing Plant and Fleetwood Park Racetrack, and a reasonable argument could be made that Louis Abramson fits as well. I'm working on Morris Park Aerodrome, which I hope to bring to FAC pretty soon. I'm not sure if they fit the "similar structure and are well-linked with each other" criteria. They're all about stuff that happened within a few miles of each other, and overlapping time spans. Would these four make a reasonable Featured Topic? RoySmith (talk) 22:22, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Several hurricane article mergers affecting topics
Recently, the tropical cyclone WikiProject has taken stock of some of its older articles, and many small articles have been merged. That has affected several topics, including:
- Wikipedia:Good topics/1950 Atlantic hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Good topics/1952 Atlantic hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Good topics/1953 Atlantic hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Good topics/1971 Atlantic hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Good topics/1994 Pacific hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Featured topics/1998 Pacific hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Good topics/2000 Atlantic hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Good topics/2003 Pacific hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Featured topics/2006 Atlantic hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Featured topics/2006 Pacific hurricane season
- Wikipedia:Good topics/Off-season Atlantic hurricanes
I removed the articles and updated the count from the topics. Should I also update the individual articles' talk pages? What's the best way to indicate on Talk:Tropical Storm Ana (2003), for example, that it was removed from the off-season Atlantic GT? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:48, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
Talk page bug
On the talk page Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/British monarchs, the top box reads the following to me:
- This page serves as a project discussion for the Good topic, British monarchs.
- Current Status: Good topic
And uses the following image:

This doesn't seem to be happening on other FTs.

New feature 'Recently listed good topics'.
Wikipedia:Good topics/recent now shows 'Recently listed good topics' displaying on the main Wikipedia:Good topics page (similar to Wikipedia:Good articles displays 'Recently listed good articles'). This is also displayed on the overview page Wikipedia:Good content. Nice. However Wikipedia:Good topics/recent is updated manually for now. Cheers. Prhartcom (talk) 18:19, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
Augustus as a Good topic proposal
Hello! My FA on Augustus is currently undergoing a Featured article review, so I cannot nominate it and its sub-articles for Good Topic status just yet. Judging by the current votes, it looks like its FA status will be kept. However, I'm wondering if I should get Wars of Augustus up to Good status before starting a nomination process? Since it might be considered a gap and vital article missing from the bunch.
Technically I have the minimum amount of articles: Augustus is an FA, while I have managed to raise its sibling articles (1) Early life of Augustus, (2) Rise of Augustus, and (3) Reign of Augustus up to GA status. These articles were created for providing further details that could not fit into the main article, per WP:SUMMARY and WP:SPLIT. I'd like to know what others think about that, and if related articles like Constitutional reforms of Augustus, Cultural depictions of Augustus, or even Coinage reform of Augustus and Coins of Augustus should also have GANs before a Good topic nomination should be considered.
In the past I have successfully nominated a couple Featured topics for China's Han dynasty and Song dynasty, and one Good topic on Macedonia (ancient kingdom). Judging by the latter, there are plenty of related articles about Macedonia and ancient Greece that were excluded from that topic, including ones about Alexander the Great, and yet reviewers saw no problem with it. Perhaps I don't need "Wars of Augustus", then? If not that would be a relief, since the article is not in very good condition, even after some edits of mine lately to spruce it up a bit. It has a few problems with short length, scope, and sourcing (too many primary source citations). Pericles of AthensTalk 14:44, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
