User talk:K6ka
 | Are you looking for help?
Wikipedia can be confusing—but it doesn't have to be that way! What do you need help with?
|
A user talk page is a page where you leave messages for a user. In this case, this is the user talk page for me—K6ka. You can use this page to contact me.
Think of a user talk page like a public email inbox. All messages need to have a Subject and a Body, and they should be written politely and formally (e.g. starting with a greeting and ending with "Thank you for your time"). When you post your message, it is public—everyone can see it, even though it was addressed to me. I will receive a notification when you leave me a message, and will try to respond to your message the next time I log in.
How to leave a new message for me
- Select the New section button.
The page editor will load. - In the "Subject:" field, enter the Subject of your message.
A subject is your title, not your entire message! Be clear, concise, and short.
Examples of bad titles: HELP ME!!!, Message, Hello, Question.
Examples of good titles: Question regarding the Coffee article. - In the text box underneath the Subject: field, type the message you would like to leave for me.
- Look over your message for any typos or mistakes.
- When you are finished, add your signature to the end of your message.
To do this, first move your text insertion cursor to the end of your message. Then, do any of the following:- In the editor toolbar, select the
button. - Enter four tilde characters using your keyboard. This will look like the following:
~~~~.
On a US keyboard, this is done by pressing the following key combinations four times: ⇧ Shift+`. Please see this chart for more information on how to type the tilde character.
- In the editor toolbar, select the
- Select Publish changes.
A new thread will appear at the bottom of this talk page with your message.
How to respond to an existing thread
Threads are organized by their Subject. Subjects are written as a Level 2 heading—large text with a grey underline—along with an edit link. If you would like to reply to an existing thread, do the following:
- In the thread you would like to reply to, select the edit link next to the thread's Subject.
- In the editor, move your text insertion cursor to the bottom of the page.
- Type your response.
- When you are finished, add your signature to the end of your message.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
