User talk and user warnings

 * Warnings: use :
 * User: uw-unsourced1, uw-vandalism1, uw-delete1 , uw-test1 , uw-advert1 , uw-biog1 , uw-nor1 , uw-chat1
 * IP: welcome-anon-unconstructive, Welcome-anon-unsourced, Welcome-anon-suboptimal, Welcome-anon-test
 * Template_messages/User_talk_namespace - alerts, warnings, etc.


 * IPs: Shared IP advice - below other warnings


 * pronouns to refer to user in TP comments:   gives ,   gives ,   gives ''.  Likewise, they, their, theirs, them.

Disruption

 * makes lots of good edits, possibly by an unregistered bot. Shows AGF, but likes to make lots of useless white-space edits on article talk pages, also useless upper-case changes on template names, and non-broken redirect link fixes.  Very similar  is, although IP tends to do more Talk pages than them, but otherwise, their interests are similar: American politics, political parties, history, etc.  IP geolocates to Naples, and user sports two userbox-2s about Italy and Italian, en-5, and it-N, which seems accurate.

Talk page tips

 * Not a leading indicator WP:NOTLEAD, WP:RGW, WP:NOTLEADING (or WP:NOTLEADINGINDICATOR)

Move procedure
Don't make controversial moves: Procedure:
 * WP:TITLECHANGES (policy): Changing one controversial title to another without a discussion that leads to consensus is strongly discouraged. If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed.
 * WP:RM (procedure): Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested.
 * WP:BOLDMOVE (procedure): only if no prev discussion, and "unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree".
 * See WP:MOVE, and WP:RM
 * 1) Create a discussion: add NewName at bottom of TP; reason can be complex and contain searches and Reflist-talk refs.
 * 2) Do not edit article; a bot will automatically add a move notice.
 * 3) Add notices to WikiProjects

See also:
 * Round-robin page moves
 * If Move does not appear in 'More' tab, then use: Special:MovePage/Article_pagename.

Relisting a move:
 * Without using the RMcloser script, relisting is essentially done by appending the {{subst:relisting}} template at the end of the opening section/paragraph, after the OP's signature, in the article's talk page. (from u:robertsky, here.)

Merge procedure and templates

 * WP:MERGE
 * 1) Create a discussion:
 * 2) * WP:MERGEPROP - propose a merger on the proposed destination page's talk page
 * 3) * notify users:
 * 4) * notify WikiProjects, and consider listing at WP:PMGO.
 * 5) Tag the relevant pages
 * 6) Discuss the merger
 * 7) Close and determine consensus (WP:MERGECLOSE)
 * 8) Perform the merger (WP:MERGETEXT)

Templates


 * use tlx template to render templates as a link with args, e.g.,  gives
 * show/hide: collapse top / collapse bottom (or: cot / cob)


 * Merge Merge from Merge to ca  de es fr  it  pt
 * |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=Mon yyyy - mark dest page with proposal

Catalan
When citing Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana, place GEC into the sources section with a cite book or cite encyclopedia template including a "ref" param:, then use sfn with the GEC direct link and headword as a standard wiki single-bracketed external link inside the   param of the sfn, thus (excerpt from Querimonia) : This will link "GEC" to the full citation in the Sources section, and the word itself to the entry at the encyclopedia.

List-defined references and notes
List-defined notes:

How-to


Using nested references in list-defined notes
In the running text of the article, add a link to the explanatory note at the bottom, like this:



In the "Notes" section in the appendixes at the bottom of the article, add this:



Explanation:


 * Refname – the refname in the "Notes" section needs to be identical to the Refname in the article body.
 *   – optional, but recommended. If there's nothing squirrely in the Explanatory text, you can drop the 1 at the beginning. If you get a broken efn of some sort, leave it in. It never hurts to keep the 1, and may avoid problems like the one that started this section.
 * Keyword – the bolded keyword is optional. I like to do this, because I'm someone who will actually sometimes browse a good "Notes" section (I'm the type who will read the dictionary sometimes, too), and the bold keyword is like a dictionary headword, and helps clue me in what I'm reading about. You can drop this if you don't find it helpful.
 * Explanatory text – The running text of your note, however long you want, with optional embedded sfnlinks.
 * Sfnlink – optional. if you want one (or more) of these, you can place them anywhere you would place an sfn template. Normally, you *would* just place an sfn here, but a mediawiki bug makes that impossible, so in this context, use sfnlink instead as a workaround for sfn. The parameters are designed to be (almost) the same, so just code your sfn template the way you normally would, and then change  to   and it should work. The text param isn't needed, unless you want to display link text that doesn't match the author/year info. A simple usage will generate parens around the year:   → 'Cotton (1946) pp. 403–407'. If you want parens around the whole thing, just add them:  . You might want to put a leading and trailing space around sfnlinks to keep them from bumping into running text, or each other, but that's up to you.

Foreign sources

 * Attribution: Because this is the English Wikipedia, for the convenience of our readers English-language sources should be used in preference to foreign-language sources, provided they are otherwise of equal suitability...
 * WP:NONENG (from WP:V):
 * Foreign sources allowed: Citations to non-English reliable sources are allowed on the English Wikipedia. However, because this project is in English, English-language sources are preferred...
 * Quoting: If you quote a non-English reliable source (whether in the main text or in a footnote), a translation into English should always accompany the quote.
 * WP:TRANSCRIPTION (from WP:NOR): Faithfully translating sourced material into English, or transcribing spoken words from audio or video sources, is not considered original research. For information on how to handle sources that require translation, see Wikipedia:Verifiability#Non-English sources.
 * WP:RSUW (WP:Reliable sources and undue weight; supplement to WP:RS): only English and it's provincial; only foreign, and it impedes readability/verifiability

Lead

 * Purpose: MOS:LEAD The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies.
 * Summarize: MOS:INTRO The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article.
 * No unique info:
 * MOS:LEADNO (in: MOS:LEAD): Significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article. alias: LEADNOTUNIQUE
 * MOS:LEADAVOID (in: MOS:LEAD): Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article.
 * WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY (in: WP:Writing better articles): The sequence in which you edit should usually be: first change the body, then update the lead to summarize the body.
 * Parts: WP:LEADSENTENCE, WP:LEADPARAGRAPH, WP:CITELEAD
 * Style: WP:BOLDTITLE, WP:BOLDSYN, WP:BOLDAVOID, WP:TITLEABSENTBOLD
 * Alt names: MOS:FORLANG: a single foreign language equivalent name can be included in the lead sentence, usually in parentheses. Do not include foreign equivalents in the lead sentence just to show etymology.
 * Chernivtsi Oblast (Ukrainian: Чернівецька область, Chernivets’ka oblast’) is an oblast (province) in western Ukraine...
 * References: MOS:CITELEAD:
 * Redundant citations: Because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material.
 * BLP rules are stronger: Any statements about living persons that are challenged or likely to be challenged must have an inline citation every time they are mentioned, including within the lead.
 * Writing it: WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY The sequence in which you edit should usually be: first change the body, then update the lead to summarize the body. and Don't try to update the lead first, hoping to provide direction for future changes to the body.
