Template looping
Hey! Just so you're aware, User:Qwerfjkl/sandbox/hasRcat/testcase was producing a template loop error. After some initial looking through, it seems the issue is probably to do with in User:Qwerfjkl/sandbox/hasRcat (preprocessing it means it preprocess the call to itself, which will loop). I've implemented a temporary solution (noinclude tags), but if I may ask, what exactly is the goal with the template? The implementation seems interesting, but I can't exactly figure out what the intended output is. Aidan9382 (talk) 08:36, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Aidan9382, to help with automatic rcategorisation, and avoid duplicate rcats, as described at Template talk:Redirect category shell. I plan to add rcats automatically through a template, then get the page content and remove the automatic rcat template, and then expand the page content, to work around this. — Qwerfjkl  talk  08:43, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Amadea (yacht)


Hello, Qwerfjkl. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Amadea".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 20:15, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Akburç (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Akburç (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
 * disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
 * is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:10, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

"Knook (chess)" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Knook (chess) and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Randi Moth (talk) 18:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Question from ArpeggioKazuya (14:30, 4 January 2023)
Hi Qwerfjkl!

I was copy editing the below article and have a question. The website/magazine highlighted in the article no longer seems to be available. It's website no longer seems to exist. How are we to handle these situations?

Thank you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPO:) --ArpeggioKazuya (talk) 14:30, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @ArpeggioKazuya, SPO is a disambiguation page, and doesn't have any external links, so I presume you meant another page. You can try this tool to fix dead links. — Qwerfjkl  talk  20:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Decline/reject
Saw your note, saw you fixed it. The AFC submission template was broken already because the creator managed to change enough values to reset it to pending while still keeping the old decliner and rejection. I suspect this is what caused your odd experience. Primefac (talk) 21:12, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Relisting more than twice
While I'd like to thank you for closing so many CfD, WP:RELIST says, in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice. In particular, today we had Category:English-language education, where there was 1 implied keep and 2 explicit keeps. That's usually enough to keep, as there was no support to delete. William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:21, 6 January 2023 (UTC) William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @William Allen Simpson, there was consensus to keep that category, but Category:Language education by language was also discussed, so I tagged that category. This means that the discussion should not be closed for 7 more days, so I relisted the discussion. — Qwerfjkl  talk  06:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Please update the relist tag with that explanation, as prescribed in WP:RELIST. (It was not obvious.) Aha, you did! Thanks!

Hello! Would you mind removing the invalid rcats on User:Qwerfjkl/sandbox/hasRcat/testcase to prevent it being categorized in Category:Pages with incorrectly transcluded templates? I don't want to mess anything up. Thanks! ~ <b style="color: #00733f">Eejit43</b> ( talk ) 23:32, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Question from Dynamitesole3 (08:09, 19 January 2023)
Hi. i am trying to learn how to write an extensive article about my favourite actor who isn't on wikipedia. --Dynamitesole3 (talk) 08:09, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Dynamitesole3, Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing six million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing! <span id="Qwerfjkl:1674147385197:User_talkFTTCLNQwerfjkl" class="FTTCmt">— Qwerfjkl  talk  16:56, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
