Proper way to archive my talk page
I have just returned to Wikipedia after a long hiatus, and I would like to archive my talk page for the first time. I read the archiving guide, but there was a specific question I had which I didn't see an answer for anywhere. Am I supposed to create the archive page as a new page and then cut and paste the archived discussions there, or am I supposed to actually move my talk page to User talk:Zander251/Archive 1 so that the full history of these archived discussions ends up being in the history of the archive page? In other words, should the page history remain under my talk page's name or should it be under the archive page's name? --Zander251 (talk) 03:55, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Although I (habitually, unthinkingly) do the former, Zander251, I think it's far better to do the latter, for the reason that you give. -- Hoary (talk) 05:14, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

translating user scripts/tools/etc.
Hello, if I want to use some user script or tool or template on other language Wikipedia, do I only need to attribute the author? or, I need their permission as well? Lightbluerain ❄ (Talk | contribs) 09:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

EDIT PAGE FROM TRANSLATION WIKIMONDE
Hi,

I would like to translate this page : https://wikimonde.com/article/Claire_Fierce

to the English wikipedia.

how can I do that ?

thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blumps342898T (talk • contribs) 09:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, . That article is a copy of fr:Claire Fierce, which I see you have worked on - it is a legal copy, since it attribues the source. Therefore your question is actually about translating the fr-wikipedia article. See Translation for information. Note that if you translate it, you are responsible for ensuring that the sources are adequate to establish notability, and that its tone meets the requirements of en-wiki. I see the fr-wiki article has been tagged for problems of tone and notability: a translation will not be accepted into en-wiki unless it meets our criteria, which I believe are at least as strict as those of fr-wiki. --ColinFine (talk) 11:33, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, the French language wiki article says that it reads like a CV, which would not be acceptable on English language wiki. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:44, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Is there a template tag to add to articles or Reference sections to indicate the links are dead?
I thought it was the linkrot template, but that seems to be for bare urls. --Fishermansworf (talk) 16:36, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Template:Dead link sounds like what you want. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:41, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you! --Fishermansworf (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Wisconsin Parade Murders
If you want to call this slaughter a car or parade incident, you can. However, instead of making donations to Wikipedia (which I have done for years), I will laugh when asked and give you nothing. If this incident is watered down due to political correctness, then you are no longer a place for honest information, but rather you are just a joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.134.148.84 (talk) 21:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia donations have no effect on the content whatsoever. The donations do not go to Wikipedia editors but instead to the WikiMedia Foundation who keep the servers up and running. None of the people who edit Wikipedia either receive any of the donations, know who has donated, or make any sort of decision based on the donations. J I P  &#124; Talk 21:15, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

 * IP user, if you are interested in a civil, collaborative discussion where a consensus is arrived at after a discussion, I invite you to participate. If you are just here to rant about alleged "political correctness", you should do that somewhere else. Donations are just that- donations- and you are free to donate or refrain from donating using whatever criteria you see fit, irrspective of how accurate it is. I would suggest that you read WP:TRUTH. 331dot (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * IP user, editors' considered, coolly expressed suggestions for improving or retitling 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade attack are welcome at Talk:2021 Waukesha Christmas parade attack.

Theatre
For theatre Section should i use the year that the actors acted it or the date that the play was written? And what can i do if i don't know the year of the play? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mac O'Donnell (talk • contribs) 21:38, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It might help if you told us which article you are discussing. 331dot (talk) 21:40, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

You asked me for the name of the article it's Draft:Penny O'Brien the theatre section isn't finished but there's a play i don't know when did it happen but know when it was written. Feel free to check or edit :D Mac O&#39;Donnell (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I've moved your reply here, to keep the discussion in one location. 331dot (talk) 21:46, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * If the play was written by Shakespeare, the date she acted in it would be relevant, the date he wrote it wouldn't be. If it was written by someone else, I think all that is still true. Maproom (talk) 22:14, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Note: There was a discussion a year ago at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Penny O'Brien where there was consensus to delete after multiple declines and moving to main despite advice. Wikipedia would like to see increased coverage of her in the intervening period for a 'new' article to be warranted. Eagleash (talk) 07:42, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
