A new task could be added - "Adding Images"
Suggestion
Should a direct link to Special:Recent Changes be included under the Anti-Vandalism – "Do it!" section? 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ♰ 20:53, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- I think that the current links are adequate. Including a link to Special:RecentChanges could lead some to mistakenly believe that everything or the majority of what appears there is suspected vandalism. signed, Rosguill talk 20:55, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Okay. 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ♰ 23:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Shortcuts box and header
@Izno, I forgot to check back, and just saw that you did respond to the request on Discord about improving the shortcuts box and header display here. I still think it looks pretty awful on desktop to have the shortcuts box below. Is there any way to put it to the side on desktop, but then for smaller screens to have it above? Or maybe we could do as the Teahouse did and embed it in the header itself? Sdkb talk 06:24, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
- The relevant bits of what I said:
How do you actually want the entirety of this space to display at a given resolution? "I think it looks ugly at X resolution" isn't helpful. Izno (talk) 15:07, 23 June 2025 (UTC)The image is positioned absolute. There's no fundamental way to preserve this appearance on any meaningful resolution smaller than the max width of the construct. It's an issue regardless of the location of the shortcuts.
How do you actually want the entirety of this space to display at a given resolution?
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough above. At desktop resolution, I'd like it to display the way it previously did — with the main header in the center and the shortcuts box to the right in its normal spot. (It'd be even better if the shortcuts box didn't push the main header a bit off-center.) At resolutions too small for that to happen, having the shortcuts box be either below (as currently) or above the header box would make sense. Does that help? Sdkb talk 16:00, 23 June 2025 (UTC)- @Izno: Lmk if you're still able to help with this, or if I should ask elsewhere. Thanks! Cheers, Sdkb talk 16:01, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- That was not the question. You need to answer how you want the actual header to display. I think that was why the other user disagrees with the location of the shortcut box. Izno (talk) 17:21, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Add more links to "Splitting and Merging"
Currently, the section on splitting an merging has links to categories containing articles which have been proposed for splitting or merging, but consensus has not been reached yet. This is useful, but when I looked at the task, what I really wanted to do was have a go at actually performing the split or merge, once discussion has already reached consensus. I think it would be good to link to Category:Articles currently being merged and Category:Articles currently being split in addition to the current links.

- Thanks for pointing this out; I agree that those are the intended targets and have adjusted the links accordingly. I did not leave the original categories because I'm not sure participation in consensus-building discussions would belong there under "Maintenance"; perhaps a new section for XfDs and the like?
