Main page - Did you know

Wikipedia:Did you know... is a section you can see on the Main Page. Wikipedia:Did you know (WP:DYK) is the project page for the "Did you know" section.

The DYK section showcases new or expanded articles that are selected through an informal review process. It is not a general trivia section. For the discussion page see WT:DYK.

Beginners should consult this Did You Know glossary if they don't understand any of the terms used. Beginners may like to start by looking at a summary of our many rules: this provides links to pages with more detailed explanations (which in turn may link to even more detailed pages).

Question from Mohammed Meharaj Sheriff (20:02, 24 May 2025)

[edit]

Hello, how can i create a new article in wikipedia --Mohammed Meharaj Sheriff (talk) 20:02, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Mohammed Meharaj Sheriff Good day. In order for a subject to warrant a page in the main space of Wikipedia, it must fulfill the criteria outlined in the Wikipedia guideline on notability, specifically the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG).
GNG is defined as the subject must fulfill specific criteria to demonstrate significant coverage from independent and reliable sources. These sources should provide in-depth discussions about the subject rather than merely offering passing mentions. This requirement is essential for verification, which is a core policy of Wikipedia. If a source is affiliated/associated/connected with the subject—such as the subject's marketing team, company, social media platforms, information in interviews of the subject or any self-published information—this indicates a lack of independence. Consequently, such sources cannot be utilized to satisfy the notability guidelines. Sources originating from educational institutions, government entities, foundations, social media platforms, and private companies are regarded as unreliable. In contrast, materials published by "major" newspapers and "reputable" books are typically considered reliable sources.
I recommend that you read WP:Your first article and adhere to the provided instructions before beginning the creation of an article. Cassiopeia talk 23:06, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2025-22

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content, and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

Updates for editors

  • Since last week, on all wikis except the largest 20, people using the mobile visual editor will have additional tools in the menu bar, accessed using the new + toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is scheduled to happen in June.
  • Advanced item The #ifexist parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of Special:WantedPages, which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [1]
  • This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch a new filter to Recent Changes, starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
  • Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. Learn more.
  • Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, WikiGames, a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
  • The Newsletter extension that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of various newsletters for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue. [2]
  • Recurrent item View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Question from Fabulous Fessi on Wikipedia:Article revisions (22:40, 27 May 2025)

[edit]

How to create a revision filter --Fabulous Fessi (talk) 22:40, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fabulous Fessi. Good day. I am not sure about your question. If you want to revert an edit, then click to "view history" and click "compare selected revision" of the edit version and click "restore this version". If you are talking about filter helper then you need to granted the right to do so. The filter helper does not create or revert an edit, they just view the details, code, and logs of private edit filters. The criteria for the right to be granted is extremely strict and not for new users. Cassiopeia talk 22:54, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Wikiman2230 (23:04, 28 May 2025)

[edit]

Hello Cassio! I have one question: If you were to edit a page on Wikipedia, is there a process you have to go through? And if so, how does it work? Would love to hear soon! --Wikiman2230 (talk) 23:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiman2230 Good day and welcome to Wikipedia. To edit Wikipedia effectively and avoid being blocked, it is essential to understand and adhere to its guidelines. Wikipedia has many guidelines, but for new editors, I strongly recommend participating in a short program—WP:TWA—as it will help you become familiar with the basic guidelines and learn how to apply them effectively in your editing. Please let me know if you have any further questions, as I am here to help. Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 23:21, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

R2

[edit]

Hi Cassiopeia. I just have a quick question about Twinkle. I have recently moved some pages to Draftspace for incubation and the admin Liz posted on my Talk page: "when you move a page from main space to Draft space, you tag the original page for CSD R2 speedy deletion. It's easiest to do if you use Twinkle." I've looked at my Twinkle and when I select the CSD menu, I don't get any "R" options (only User Pages and General Criteria). I can't see how to make "R" options visible...?? Is this something you might know how to do, or if not, would you know where I should go to ask? Thank you very much in advance.

Cabrils I have moved your message to my talk page, as this topic is not part of the CUVA program. From now on, please communicate with me on my talk page. R2 refers to a cross-name move from the main space to another namespace. To assist you further, please provide the following information: (1) the URL of the page you moved to draft space that triggered this communication, (2) the tool you used to move the page, (3) whether you saw the article in the "New Page Feed or you randomly came across the article, (4) I noticed you are listed as a reviewer in the [Wikipedia New Page Reviewers category](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_new_page_reviewers), and (5) I would like to know who your NPPS instructor was, and (6) the URL of your NPPS program. Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 23:49, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Cassiopeia, firstly my apologies for creating the extra work for you in having to move this discussion to here - thank you. My answers to your questions using your numbering for convenience:
(1) I moved several pages but at least this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Seiden_Law (as part of the New pages patrol May 2025 Backlog drive).
(2) I used the "Move" link that appears in Tools column on the right side of the window (I did not use Twinkle).
(3) Yes I saw the article in the New Page feed (filtered to show unreviewed pages created by new accounts).
(4)-(6) I was invited to become a New Page reviewer based on my experience as an Articles for Creation reviewer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cabrils/Archive_4#Invitation (and my application is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1191385241#User:Cabrils). I did not receive instruction; nor a NPPS program.
Thanks again for your time looking at this. Cabrils (talk) 00:52, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Cabrils TThank you for the information. I am unsure what you meant by "I used the 'Move' link that appears in the Tools column on the right side of the window," as I do not see a "Move" icon on the new page. For example, here is the link: [3]. There are seven icons, but no icons in the right menu. Please let me know if I am missing something.
As mentioned, R2 refers to a cross-name move from the main space to another namespace. means it redirects from the main namespace to any other namespace except for the Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, and Portal: namespaces. You can use {{db-r2}} to tag the article and state the reason. Here is the R2 template: Template:Db-r2. We move articles to draft space to allow for further development of the article, especially for potential but unsourced WP:BLP articles. Use R2 sparingly, as some administrators do not favor moving pages to draft status. Although WP:NPPDRAFT states that the move is a safe place for editors to add necessary sources, they may deem that if the articles are not improved or edited within six months, they will be subject to G13 deletion. However, you can use the "move to draft" script unless you are an administrator or page mover. You can apply for page mover user rights if you have successfully completed many R2 actions. There are currently fewer than 500 users with page mover rights, and many of them are no longer active. Once you have page mover rights, there will be a "Move to draft under the "Tools" dropdown list in the top right menu of the page. I have moved many new articles to draft status using the "Move to draft" tool. I used to include R2 in my NPPS program-see NPPS trainer here - as I am one of the NPPS trainers and the creator of NPPS program but I am excluding that now as many participants find it hard to understand and apply. I hope this helps. Cassiopeia talk 01:51, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much Cassiopeia.
I think I will follow this up with Liz since she suggested using it. Basically I don't see an option for "R2" in my Twinkle pop-up window, which she said I should.
In answer to your question, I see "Move" in my "Tools" column on the right hand side of my desktop window. This list of tools includes (in order): Actions; Move, Subscribe; General; What links here, Related changes, User contributions, Global contributions etc.
Thank you again and I don't think you need to respond to this further (it's already taken up to much of your time).
As always, very much appreciated. Cabrils (talk) 07:02, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
