About a deleted article.
Hello, I was wondering do I need to Requests for undeletion for The Irregular at Magic High School (season 3) or just create the article again? Season 3 will lunch in about three weeks. I'm pretty sure I can make the page now since it has genuine reason to exist compared to January 2022 when it didn't have an official announcement and hence it was deleted.

 * If there is enough coverage now, I suppose that it would be fine to create it now. Xexerss (talk) 19:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello again, I made a mistake and instead of creating the article with this name: The Irregular at Magic High School season 3, I made it like this: The Irregular at Magic High School (season 3). How can I change it? Correct me if I'm wrong but I need to use the "Move" section from the article, right? Parham.es (talk) 18:39, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, that will do. Xexerss (talk) 18:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright then thanks, for the reason of the Move "remove unnecessary parentheses/disambiguator" is the right one correct? sorry If I'm asking these easy questions, this is my first time doing it and I want to make sure I'm doing it right :D Parham.es (talk) 18:46, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. That was the consensus of Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television). Xexerss (talk) 18:49, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Templates and their rules
Hello, As far as I understand each template has its own rules which means another template rule is not applicable for another (kinda). The reason why I brought this up is because I've seen in some article, Spy × Family (TV series) for example that some editors keep deleting the last_aired date of the anime even though it is ended and insist that based on Template:Infobox television's rules "Set the last episode date as the "last_aired" date only if there is no announcement for 12 months". My problem is that we are not even using Template:Infobox television for animes but using Template:Infobox animanga/Video which doesn't have such a rule and as far as I know the reason we have different templates for different subjects and stuff (well one of the reasons) is because of different situation they can have, for example everyone knows that animes are always ended unless they announce something, every single season counts as the last one, unless they announce two or more seasons before hand. So because of this I assume they didn't include the 12 months rules in Template:Infobox animanga/Video because anime simply doesn't work like normal TV series does. As you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spy_%C3%97_Family_(TV_series)&action=history I changed this twice and both times was done by two different editors in this article, but I really wonder am I even right about this? honestly using another template's rules doesn't make sense to me, we do have another template for animes for a reason! Parham.es (talk) 19:07, 30 March 2024 (UTC)


 * If the article is using Template:Infobox animanga/Video, I don't see what Template:Infobox television has to do with it. If an editor has a problem with that, then they should start a discussion and not make those changes just like that. If there is no kind of announcement implying that a series is going to continue, I don't see any reason why we should say otherwise in the article. Xexerss (talk) 19:17, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Isekai
Why it doesn't require italics while yuri, yaoi, yakuza etc. do? Fleyzk (talk) 20:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * See MOS:FOREIGN. Leaving aside the fact that the yakuza article uses italics in specific parts, the other terms don't have common usage in English. Note that the term isekai is included in the Oxford English Dictionary. Xexerss (talk) 20:40, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Incomplete sentence on Dragon Ball manga page
Hi Xexerss, you reverted an edit I made on the Dragon Ball manga page and I wanted some clarification.

The original two sentences: "Although he suspected the fighting genre would appeal more to its shōnen audience, Toriyama tried to stick to the Journey to the West adventure aspect which he himself enjoyed. Such as having the setting change each chapter, different enemies popping up, and different locations."

It seems like in starting the sentence with "Such as" is impromper and an incomplete sentence, no? It seemed clunky/wrong when I was reading through the article and so I attempted a fix. If my fix wasn't up-to-code, that's fine, but it still doesn't seem right. I was also thinking of just changing the period to a comma and making it one longer sentence - even that litte change seems better than the original. Thoughts? Pac12dan (talk) 17:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi. I think the sentence, as it is currently written, might needs to be reworded, but the way you tried to fix it doesn't seem to be an improvement. I assume good faith in your edit nonetheless, so feel free to reword the sentence again, but please try to be thorough with the way you rewrite it. Xexerss (talk) 17:58, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree, upon reading it back I don't think my edit was an improvement. If I come up with something I'll have another go. Appreciate the feedback! Pac12dan (talk) 18:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Reverted?
Hello @Xexerss, you have reverted changes i made adding some wikis to external links without any explanation as to why, so i would like to humbly ask why this was reverted, keeping in mind i'm not used to all the rules yet. It was my understanding that such links were welcome, see for example the wookiepedia link on star wars or the memory alpha one on star trek. Thank you very much. TheBookfinder (talk) 20:05, 8 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi. I left a link to WP:ELNO when reverting your edits, which indicates that "Open wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors" should not be linked. I don't know why those articles have links to those sites, but take WP:OTHERCONTENT into account. Xexerss (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright i had not clicked on WP:ELNO, i gave it a good read, thank you.
 * If i understand correctly the links i have put to open wikis would be fine in the future once they have a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors, which isn't currently the case? TheBookfinder (talk) 20:57, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, although this must be looked at on a case-by-case basis. You can ask at WP:TEA if you have more inquiries about this. Xexerss (talk) 21:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you very much for the clarification, help, and taking the time to answer. TheBookfinder (talk) 21:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
