Huge mistake
I accidentally just opened an AfD for the wrong page and have no idea what to do. I meant to open one for Candace (show) but instead opened it for Articles for deletion/The Daily Wire (2nd nomination). Help please! TipsyElephant (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Do I just do a speedy keep withdrawl and then reopen it for Candace (show) or can I move the deletion discussion or something? TipsyElephant (talk) 00:47, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries, the AfD has been speedy-closed, go ahead and create one for the show. --Nosebagbear (talk) 10:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

About New Zealand
Hai I would like to ask, in New Zealand Vehicle  driving side is Left or Right. In wikepide it's showing that 'Left '. But i think it is 'Right '. Please re-check — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.59.19.183 (talk) 08:29, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Left- and right-hand traffic confirms, with a reference, that it's on the left. Do you have any reliable source for it being on the right?  --David Biddulph (talk) 09:50, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Does a webcam image from the NZ Transport Agency count as a reliable source? I don't think you'd want to enter this roundabout driving on the right: . AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:59, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * This similar NZ transport agency source confirms that they drive on the left-hand side of the road, whatever the traffic-cams look like. Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:36, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * This, or a similar question, has come up before (at a different location). In countries where vehicles are driven on the left-hand side of the road the controls (steering wheel etc.) are typically, but not always, on the right-hand side of the car, (known as 'right-hand drive'). This can be confusing to someone not aware of the different terms. Eagleash (talk) 10:11, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I once got given a "lefties' desk calendar". Among the nuggets of information was that such-and-such a place had England's biggest centre for left-hand drive cars. The compilers presumably didn't realise that a left-hand drive car is what the Americans call "a car" - with the driver sitting on the left of the passenger. --ColinFine (talk) 11:48, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * There is a dealer about 10 miles from me (London UK) who basically only deals in LHD vehicles – usually 'muscle cars'. They would definitely lay claim to that title! Eagleash (talk) 11:54, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree with Eagleash - I've had to try and explain this this before - the confusion is "drives on the left" - which means drives on the left hand side of the road, whereas some people incorrectly assume it means the steering wheel is on the left hand side of the car. - Arjayay (talk) 13:43, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you'll find the largest UK LHD car dealer is between the USAF airbases at Mildenhall and Lakenheath - Arjayay (talk) 13:48, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Page creation problem
The very specific page i've just created to highlight important information regarding Elon Musk family just like /wiki/walton_family got redirected instead with absurd reason, need some help here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Musk_Family&redirect=no -- User:MrHerii (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:49, 7 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Please read Help:Your first article. Your contribution was entirely unsuited to article space, for multiple reasons. AndyTheGrump (talk) 11:16, 7 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Now recreated in article space at Elon_Musk%27s_Family. Princess Persnickety   (talk)  13:18, 7 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I've proposed it for deletion, though I'm not sure it doesn't qualify for speedy deletion as nonsense. Either way, it doesn't remotely belong in article space. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:35, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

table of content is wrong

 * Apparently the table of contents does not support markup.  J I P  &#124; Talk 17:06, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * MOS:FORMULA says section headings should use HTML only. T295091 is about the problem. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:36, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Trying to revert identifies a proxy roadblock
I'm trying to revert vandalism at Joseph E. Brown. The vandalism is massive blanking. Trying to reverse it results in an error that there is reference to a local proxy, preventing me from saving it. I found no instances of "proxy" in the content or markup. Other than that, I don't know what to do to identify the text that's causing the roadblock. signed, Willondon (talk) 18:00, 7 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm a bit confused as well. It gives me 2 specific instances of it (one being "www.oxfordartonline.com.proxy.lib.duke.edu/") however when I Go to the revision before the vandalism and search for ".proxy" nothing comes up. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:06, 7 February 2022 (UTC)


 * It's sorted now. Admin power, I guess!  signed, Willondon (talk)  18:09, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * (e/c) I was able to do it (perhaps because I'm an admin?). I don't see any error messages in the references now.  I assume/hope all is OK now? What was actually going on to cause the error is beyond my competence. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:11, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I've reported it as a false positive so hopefully someone there will be able to figure out what's triggering this filter. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:12, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I have added a note to Edit filter/False positives/Reports. PrimeHunter (talk) 02:34, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
