The Relapse at FAR
[edit]I have nominated The Relapse for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria, or help improve the article. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regard to the article's featured status (see review instructions).

Requested move at Talk:The Most Perfect Thing: Inside (and Outside) a Bird's Egg#Requested move 20 April 2026
[edit]
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:The Most Perfect Thing: Inside (and Outside) a Bird's Egg#Requested move 20 April 2026 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. ScalarFactor (talk) 02:15, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
Hi all, FYI, a recent SPI case Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PapaTakaro determined Iljhgtn to be a sockpuppet. I had my suspicions given the constant posting here and the strange persistence surrounding Category:Books with missing cover described at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Books/Archive 20#Book cover parameters and the further sneaky behavior by Kingsacrificer to a similar end which I outlined at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Books/Archive 21#Request for mass tagging at this WikiProject. In retrospect, obvious edit farming. And I have suspicions about the similarities and level of coordination between Iljhgtn and Kingsacrificer. Iljhgtn made a very large number of edits over a period of four years before they were blocked as a sockpuppet of PapaTakaro. The articles affected are wide-ranging, but I am posting here as a way of notifying the community given Iljhgtn's widespread edits across the books topic area. There is a discussion about this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Iljhgtn. Thanks. Οἶδα (talk) 17:43, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- It's unfortunate that they were a sock. Edit farming or not, they did add quite a lot of book covers. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 02:50, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
A Flag for Sunrise
[edit]I recently created an article for A Flag for Sunrise and subsequently learned it is on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable books/1 page. Is there any protocol for updating this? Apextrancelike (talk) 03:37, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
- It looks like some people cross off (remove) articles as they work from that list but it doesn't seem like a particularly high priority - the last 100 revisions go back to 2013. ScalarFactor (talk) 04:08, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Treatment of ISBN in book and novella infobox templates
[edit]I'm curious why {{infobox book|ISBN=}} creates an ISBN link, but {{infobox novella|ISBN=}} does not. Was this an explicit decision to treat ISBN differently? See, for example, It (novel) and Tales of Dunk and Egg --Lexiconaut (talk) 02:39, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- Infobox novella is badly maintained; honestly it shouldn't even exist, because what parameters are novella exclusive? PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:43, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- I think it's the
published_inparameters ("what the novella was first released in, e.g. the name of the anthology, magazine, etc", per docs). - It may be possible to convert it to a wrapper template with just those as extra parameters? Like how e.g. {{Infobox Italian comune}} is for {{Infobox settlement}}. ScalarFactor (talk) 02:48, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- That can also be for books though, so why only have it in that template? PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:45, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- I think it's the
Passover cookbook merged to Passover Seder
[edit]Passover cookbook was merged to Passover Seder today. I have opened a discussion at WT:WikiProject Women. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:37, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
