Main Page error reports
 | Most issues relating to national variations of the English language have already been discussed here at length:
|
To report an error in content currently or imminently on the Main Page, use the appropriate section below.
- Where is the error? An exact quotation of the text in question helps.
- Offer a correction if possible.
- References are helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error.
- Time zones. The Main Page runs on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, currently 05:20 on 13 August 2024) and is not adjusted to your local time zone.
- Can you resolve the problem yourself? If the error lies primarily in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, fix the problem there before reporting it here. Text on the Main Page generally defers to the articles with bolded links. Upcoming content on the Main Page is usually only protected from editing beginning 24 hours before its scheduled appearance. Before that period, you can be bold and fix any issues yourself.
- Do not use {{edit fully-protected}} on this page, which will not get a faster response. It is unnecessary, because this page is not protected, and causes display problems. (See the bottom of this revision for an example.)
- No chit-chat. Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as the talk page of the relevant article or project.
- Respect other editors. Another user wrote the text you want changed, or reported an issue they see in something you wrote. Everyone's goal should be producing the best Main Page possible. The compressed time frame of the Main Page means sometimes action must be taken before there has been time for everyone to comment. Be civil to fellow users.
- Reports are removed when resolved. Once an error has been addressed or determined not to be an error, or the item has been rotated off the Main Page, the report will be removed from this page. Check the revision history for a record of any discussion or action taken; no archives are kept.

General discussion
Video as main page image for April 13 TFA
Czar asked here if it was OK to switch out a pic of a game cover for the April 13 TFA with another image; I agreed, not realizing the replacement image would be a video. I don't know any rea
son why this would be a bad idea, but since I haven't seen it done I thought I'd ask here, just in case. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:15, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Videos turn up at DYK, OTD and TFP more frequently than they appear elsewhere on the main page, but that mainly reflects availability. This seems like a good opportunity to run one at TFA, particularly given the relative scarcity of free-licensed pictures (of the static or motion variety) in the subject area. —David Levy 02:29, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- I do think the cover is quite attractive, but from a purely EV perspective the video is of greater encyclopedic use. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:11, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Is there a way the thumbnail can be fixed? Looking at it on firefox, it's just a grey play button with a few colorful pixels to the right of the button. ApLundell (talk) 17:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
