For some reason I don't understand, the <code>searchprefix</code> parameter in [[Template:Archive-index]] is not doing anything. This is making it quite hard to search through [[Requests_for_comment/Archive]]. My limited experiment in the sandbox seems to suggest it always ignores the parameter, going straight for the fallback of using the parent page name. --[[User:Artoria2e5|Artoria2e5]] ([[User talk:Artoria2e5|talk]]) 12:52, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Help! Help! Help! Gujarati Wikipedia Project

Sir, please help! some administrators of Gujarati Wikipedia project are doing injustice to me. Together with their friends they are behaving biased with common editors. They have blocked me for 1 month without any reason. To keep the Wikipedia unprejudiced and clean we need immediate help from you everyone. Please Help us for the name of God.

Take some strong actions against Gujarati Wikipedia admins.

Mobile version

The mobile version of several projects is showing an error. Links that don't exist are blue.

My Wikipedia User account globally unlock request.

Dear Wikipedia Help Team,

I'm Md Nahid Islam, ( Wikipedia User Name Md Nahid Islam Neha) Bangladeshi citizens living Qatar. I had a 2 year old Wikipedia account. The account has been globally locked without my knowledge or due to my mistake. I'm sorry for my mistake. I promise, next time I will be a contributor to all the rules and regulations of Wikipedia. My Wikipedia User account globally unlock request.

Requesting unlock my Wikipedia user account worldwide.

What is my block even for?

So I got blocked from editing the English Wikipedia indefinitely, blocked from editing my own talk page, account creation blocked, and IP blocked for 2 days. The message was "Clearly not here to build an encyclopedia: Trolling". I wasn't even given a warning. I acted a little bit weird like 10 minutes before my block, but I made constructive edits (I had around 50 total edits) and wasn't "trolling". Plus, I feel like this is biting the newcomers, except I'm a tiny mouse and the admin is Godzilla. ThatOneRandomGuyYouMeet (talk) 20:04, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with the WikiVoyage.pt

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T283553

Guys, please, I am having two problems at Wikivoyage.pt: 1) I am not able to remove the categories there, it seems that they are added automatically... but categories are being added in English... How can I add and remove them manually? What about stoping the automatic process?2) there is a problem in the interface: when one opens the source code editor, there are some links in the taskbar to add the common templates automatically, but they appear, today, disfigured and it is not possible to understand their functions, can someone help? or where I can get help on this?--Felipe da Fonseca (talk) 23:33, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Best place for a newcomer to get involved

Hi! Where is the best place for someone new to Meta-Wiki to get involved? I'm a bit confused as to where I should start. Thanks! Tyrone Madera (talk) 23:44, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global bot

Hello and congratulations, is there any software that I can run a bot that will create a template or media-wiki page in all wikis? Neriahtalk19:33, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikivoyage down?

When I go to Wikivoyage, I get the following error:

Error Our servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem. Please try again in a few minutes.

See the error message at the bottom of this page for more information.

The same with Wikipedia as well. However, I can still access Wikispecies. Are the wikimedia servers down? But why can I still access this page and Wikispecies? SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 09:48, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help! Template:Archive-index's searchprefix param is not working!

For some reason I don't understand, the searchprefix parameter in Template:Archive-index is not doing anything. This is making it quite hard to search through Requests_for_comment/Archive. My limited experiment in the sandbox seems to suggest it always ignores the parameter, going straight for the fallback of using the parent page name. --Artoria2e5 (talk) 12:52, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
