Wikipedia Questions - Weekly Thread of May 20, 2024

Welcome to the weekly Wikipedia Q&A thread!

Please use this thread to ask and answer questions related to Wikipedia and its sister projects, whether you need help with editing or are curious on how something works.

Note that this thread is used for "meta" questions about Wikipedia, and is not a place to ask general reference questions.

Rules

1

Wikipedia content only

Submissions must either be from Wikipedia or another Wikimedia site (such as the Wikimedia Commons), or from another source discussing Wikipedia or issues relevant to it. Overly partisan sources and links to articles on alternative wikis will be removed.

2

Submission etiquette

Refrain from editorializing submission titles; any overly-editorialized submissions may be removed. No TIL format posts, and please try to avoid mobile links. For current events, don't sensationalize assailants by naming them. For posts about discussions on-wiki, try to keep the title as an objective overview—personal commentary can go in the comments for discussion.

3

Be respectful

Absolutely no personal attacks or hate speech (including dogwhistleing) will be tolerated in the comments. Obvious trolls, political brigaders, and assholes not welcome here. Discussion is encouraged, but keep it civil.

4

No vandalism

Posts advocating, bragging about, or otherwise encouraging Wikipedia vandalism or political brigading are not allowed.

5

Not your personal army

Submissions relating to personal editing conflicts on Wikipedia are not allowed, although a moderator may choose to allow it at their discretion. Meta discussion of large-scale or noteworthy editing conflicts is allowed. If you have questions about a particular situation, consider using our weekly Q&A thread.

6

No screenshots

Screenshots of Wikipedia articles are not allowed. Link directly to the article or media when possible. A moderator may choose to allow screenshots at their discretion, such as when something is otherwise not conveyable.
