Shortcuts for WP:Change filter/Mistakes ?
Can any admin create shortcuts for Wikipedia:Change filter/Mistakes as WP:CM,WP:CFM or WP:C/FM ? because we also have some shortcuts for Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress, Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser, and [Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]. Bensebgli (Talk) 15:29, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- This isn't a task you would need an admin for. You should probably get a consensus that they are beneficial though. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:43, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Agree we need consensus if we need shortcuts for Wikipedia:Change filter/Mistakes. Bensebgli (Talk) 06:51, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- WP:CFM and WP:CF/M make the most sense to me and I can see these 2 being used the most, I've created WP:CF so that CF/M would make better sense too. Just to note I don't support the proposed "WP:C/FM" as that to me says "Change/Filter Mistakes" which doesn't make any sense whereas my proposal matches the title of the page, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:51, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Concern about 2603:9000:E8F0:BB00:52B:839F:1AF8:F314
The IP Special:Contribs/2603:9000:E8F0:BB00:52B:839F:1AF8:F314 keeps copying articles from English Wikipedia with a few changes. I don't know whether it would be useful to warn them for "creating inappropriate articles", so I'm referring the issue here. TagUser (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- The articles can probably be tagged for quick deletion under A3, which is for articles that have been "copied and pasted from another Wikipedia without simplifying". Ternera (talk) 20:57, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- I agree. But the person also needs to know that if they keep doing this, they will be blocked. TagUser (talk) 20:59, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage
Can an admin please change MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage to either "Simple English Wikipedia" or "Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"? This is what appears as the title of the Main Page in a browser. It would be good if it were distinguished from the English Wikipedia. TagUser (talk) 17:47, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Not done I'm not sure why we should break the precedent set by other Wikipedias of just having "Wikipedia" as the title. Wikipedia is our project name, and Simple English just happens to be our language. A lot of things we have often are very similar to English Wikipedia and this isn't really anything that should be distinguished without good reason. The title is already technically different - in my browser I am seeing "Wikipedia" for simplewiki, and "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" for enwiki. --Ferien (talk | join TBA!) 20:45, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
'User:L' (and 'user:B' in a sub-section)
The first diff, can seem to be only a small mistake. diff . (If no admin sees anything wrong with the edit, then i guess admins have 'done enough about that'.--However, i have not yet chosen which other diffs, indicate a bigger problem, with two users. That should be rectified, in hours.) 2001:2020:C305:834B:5C84:C4C2:F47:B770 (talk) 04:20, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- I dont understand what is wrong with that diff Cactus🌵 spiky ツ 10:45, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell, that diff just adds a comment pointing out that the section has a lot of red links, and a plea for the redlinked items to be created. It's not very helpful, because few people would see it, but I don't see that it's a problem. Am I missing something?
- By the way, when you give a link you'd like someone to look at, please give it in a form that can be clicked on. When you're asking someone for help, it's best to make it as easy as possible for them to help you. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 11:29, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
Page Protection
Russian invasion of Ukraine needs some form of edit protection. It has became an edit war between an ip user who insists that The president of the United States hating ukraine dosn't contribute to the war. I have been trying to explain to them that the US has been a big source of funding and weapons. The ip-user started a disscusion on WP:ST and the consensus so far is that It should be in the article but the ip-user is still removing it. (Sorry if this isn't the right place for this.) Ieditrandomarticles (talk | contribs) 15:57, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- Telling me to not edit, that relevant section/sub-section (for a prescribed time), should maybe be the very last thing to consider.
Restricting (general) access to the article (to large groups), should maybe be the second-to-last possible move (about this case), for administrators.
The third-to-last move (to consider), i think, should be that wikipedia should request for a check, to see if there was an email , from user:Ieditrandomarticles, or from user:BigCrow. (The concern would be, sending of email between those two users, in the indicated timeframe.)--The sending of email, if caught by "our" checks, would then be in the timeframe (1 May and 18:10, 1 May 2025 and in the 24 hours before that (or in the 48 hours before that). (Quite possibly some time before 03:25.)
The fourth-to-last move i think, should be that user:Ieditrandomarticles gets some kind of topic ban, for adding, <!-.-Please do not remove this section. It is important to ukraine and can greatly effect the outcome of the war. --> In essence, his/her text is saying, imperatively, allow the POV-pushing (by him/her) to stay in the article!--User:Ieditrandomarticles seems to be the one, that has added that comment into the article - and she/he has now been 'caught red-handed'. Regards! 2001:2020:C305:834B:280D:55CF:F01C:1590 (talk) 18:52, 2 May 2025 (UTC) /2001:2020:C305:834B:280D:55CF:F01C:1590 (talk) 19:52, 2 May 2025 (UTC)- I have not emailed nor received an email from BigCrow. The "POV pushing" is stating a properly cited fact that the United States officials are cutting support for Ukraine. I added the comment because you have removed this enough times to constitute a Edit War. Consensus in the Simple Talk has been to keep it in the article. After this consensus was made, you proceeded to post about it on the English Wikipedia (Which isn't part of this project so therefor doesn't count as consensus). Ieditrandomarticles (talk | contribs) 19:16, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
Furthermore, it might be fair to say that user:Ieditrandomarticles, is misrepresenting things: "... the consensus so far is that It should be in the article but ...".--Blatant misrepresentation, might also be fair to say.--Furthermore, for now, En-wiki does not want the text in their article; Justification: "Probably too vague to be useful in an encyclopedia article. Also, Trump is far from the focus of [this title or "Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine" at en-wiki] ... 03:16, 2 May". 2001:2020:C305:834B:280D:55CF:F01C:1590 (talk) 19:21, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- As I said, this is not EnWiki. This can be a better fit into this article than the en wiki article which would make it unjudgeable. I've made it less vauge and you only copied a portion of the article into the enwiki talk page. Ieditrandomarticles (talk | contribs) 19:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
If a text is not encyclopedic at En-wiki, then there are very few cases (if any), where such text is encyclopedic at Simple-wiki.--I recommend that you stop (in this thread), right now.--Unless, admins have further questions for you; You aren't doing yourselves any favors, if you drone on, unprompted. (I.e. , unprompted by admins). 2001:2020:C305:834B:280D:55CF:F01C:1590 (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

En-wiki now has article with Italian_brainrot. That article, got a Speedy Keep, c. 29 April.

Feel free to not make language-link (interwiki), to En-wiki, for the longest time.
I am fine with the article, quickly becoming 'locked for IP-users'; On the other hand, one can use the article as a recruiting tool, and revert all non-good edits, and say "Take your idea to Talk-page, first".

- I'm not sure if you're objecting to the deleting or protecting but if it's the latter then sure I'm not fussed either as looking at the logs it was only repeatedly created from 21-23 April so protection may not be needed after all, Still I'll leave this as is and a passing admin can decide, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

Move request for San Diego
I request a move from San Diego, California to San Diego, because this city is the primary topic for the name. It will also match the title on English Wikipedia. 11USA11 (talk) 23:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- @11USA11: We could do that, but is there a reason you don't want to do it yourself? -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:54, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Auntof6 I can't. The page currently at San Diego has more than one revision, so I can't move a page over that title. 11USA11 (talk) 02:15, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- @11USA11: Ah! Ok, the move is done. I left a redirect behind, which you are welcome to turn into a disambiguation page if you want. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:36, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Constantly adding complex information to articles, and reverting the users edits which revert their edits. Cactus🌵 spiky ツ 11:03, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

- Aside from not feeling the language was too complex, I don't see the issue if the added sections were after the original paragraphs. If anyone had a problem with the added sections, they could have just skipped them, or simplified them further. There was important info there that I feel should be kept in.

I have a concern about Stopstealingtheusername (talk · contribs · logs). They seem to keep creating articles which have no notability, and in fact may be hoaxes, because there are no Google search results for them. These are mainly about 'The SuperSword Warriors' which may not exist. I note that they all already blocked on English Wikipedia for not being here to build an encyclopedia.
