Scope proposal: Cloud computing articles
Cloud computing articles are currently rarely referenced within WikiProject Software. I actively contribute to cloud-related pages and propose that cloud computing be considered within scope due to the substantial overlap between modern software engineering and cloud computing. Cloud computing has been an established field for roughly two decades, and a large proportion of contemporary software is deployed on some form of cloud environment, including private, public, platform-based, or virtualized systems. While cloud computing also encompasses infrastructure and service delivery, a significant portion of its research, implementation, and operational practice is software-centric and aligns with the project’s existing focus.

Proposed deletion of Papyrus Platform

The article Papyrus Platform has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Tagged for notability concerns for 15 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software#Papyrus Platform.
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. Bearian (talk) 01:32, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Invitation to discussion about inclusion of build list tables at Windows 11 version history
There is a discussion I started at Talk:Windows 11 version history § Not a changelog, regarding whether or not the article should have lists of every individual Windows 11 patch/build. However, there has been no activity on that talk page, so it would be nice if you could come in and add your own thoughts on this issue. Thanks. — AP 499D25 (talk) 23:20, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
