Technical news

  • Unregistered editors using the mobile website are now able to receive notices to indicate they have talk page messages. The notice looks similar to what is already present on desktop, and will be displayed on when viewing any page except mainspace and when editing any page. (T284642)
  • The limit on the number of emails a user can send per day has been made global instead of per-wiki to help prevent abuse. (T293866)

Question from Skilletgamingtv (19:29, 9 December 2021)

I had a link I attached to my hometowns page removed. Someone removed it and stated it was against guidelines. I was confused it was a site ran by a part of the city. --Skilletgamingtv (talk) 19:29, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Skilletgamingtv, and welcome! I assume this was removed due to the first reason in our Links to avoid policy. I don't expect you to read it, it's a bit long, so here's what it says:

Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. In other words, the site should not merely repeat information that is already or should be in the article.


Thank you for your contribution nonetheless! Best wishes, VukkyTalkGuestbook 08:41, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Question from Ron M. in AB on Jerry Potts (23:17, 9 December 2021)

Hello. I would humbly like to make a correction that the rifle in the photo of Jerry Potts is an 1873 not 1866 winchester. The side plates of the rifle's receiver show distinctly in the photo. Also, the 1866 fired .44 Henry. The 1873 fired .44-40 or as Winchester originally called it, .44WCF (winchester central fire) which would make a lot more sense as it's the same cartridge as his hand guns. Love Wikipedia and have a nice day. --Ron M. in AB (talk) 23:17, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ron M. in AB, and welcome! This is a correction that you can make yourself, as anyone can contribute to Wikipedia. Just press the "edit" button on the article or a section. Keep in mind that this may be easier to do on a computer instead of a phone. Best wishes, VukkyTalkGuestbook 08:33, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Vukky, you're awesome. Ron M. in AB (talk) 10:01, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Question from Lakshya Saurabh (13:37, 12 December 2021)

Hello,I wanted to ask that can you tell me what wikipedia does --Lakshya Saurabh (talk) 13:37, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Lakshya Saurabh, hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can read for free. Unlike many other encyclopedias, anyone with an internet connection can contribute to it, which is often called a "Wiki". Hence the name Wikipedia, a combination of "Wiki" and "Encyclopedia".

Question from Young money(aymoney) on User:Young money(aymoney) (23:12, 12 December 2021)

Hello --Young money(aymoney) (talk) 23:12, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Signature Fix

Hey it's me, the one who helped make your signature. I've gotten a little more experience since I made yours and I've noticed something that could be an issue. When you make a post on a talk page, your signature leaves a little gap of white space before the date and time. This is an issue with the way that I programmed the signature. If you replace the part that says "right:21q" with "margin-right:-21q" this whitespace will not be there and look better. Here is the resulting the difference:

Old signature : VukkyTalkGuestbook 14:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

New signature: VukkyTalkGuestbook 14:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Here is the changed code if you'd like to use this:

[[User:Vukky|<b style="background:#000;color:#00a8f3;padding:1q;border-radius:5q">Vukky</b>]][[User talk:Vukky|<sup>Talk</sup>]][[User:Vukky/Guestbook|<sub style="position:relative;margin-left:-21q;top:1q">Guestbook</sub>]]

If you have any issues or questions, please let me know. Thanks, ― Levi_OPTalk 14:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Levi OP, oh! I noticed that earlier, but I couldn't figure out why. Thanks! Best wishes, VukkyTalkGuestbook 16:16, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Question from KingAviationKid (19:51, 16 December 2021)

Can BlazeTheWolf be my mentor instead? --KingAviationKid (talk) 19:51, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

KingAviationKid, sure! Blaze The Wolf, would you mind heading over to Special:ClaimMentee? Best wishes, VukkyTalkGuestbook 19:53, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
@Vukky: How odd, we have the same colors in our signatures Yep I can do that. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:54, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
Blaze The Wolf, not exactly on purpose! It's Vukky blue, which looks pretty similar. Best wishes, VukkyTalkGuestbook 19:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
Ah makes sense. I had to add myself to the list of mentors since I was one previously but had my name removed since I wasn't ready to be one yet. I feel that I'm ready to be a mentor now, and I feel like I Kinda have to become one now since the user is requesting I be their mentor. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:59, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

MoreLove script

Hey! So uh.. what does your MoreLove script add to the WikiLove thing? ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:24, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Blaze The Wolf, you can see that in the source code. A lot of new cat pictures, a few food items, and the ability to reload the kitten/goat images if you don't like the ones it loaded. Best wishes, VukkyTalkGuestbook 20:26, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
Ah alright! I went to see what new ones it added and I was like, "Wait.. I don't see anything different". Thanks for telling me! ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:28, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Question from Parthgohil99 on Draft:Parth Gohil (20:01, 17 December 2021)

how to save draft? --Parthgohil99 (talk) 20:01, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Parthgohil99, hello and welcome! It looks like you managed to save the draft successfully without my assistance, but it was deleted due to Wikipedia policies. Writing an article about yourself is not recommended, and if you do, you need reliable sources to back your claims up (not including yourself!) and as such the page was deleted. It is possible to recover it, but you should see if you have any reliable sources on your subject first. Best wishes, VukkyTalkGuestbook 20:36, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
