Updates from Capacity Exchange (CapX)!

Hello Jon Harald Søby,

My name is Joris Darlington Quarshie, and I am an Outreach Facilitator for the Capacity Exchange (CapX) — a platform for finding and connecting with peers to exchange knowledge and skills on a global level.

CapX is a community-built tool, designed by and for the Wikimedia Movement, to make it easier for Wikimedians across the world to find and connect, collaborate, and exchange skills and knowledge with peers.

If you don't know it yet, I invite you to access capx.toolforge.org and create your user profile with your Wikimedia account. But, if you already have a profile, I invite you to check out the new features and possibilities we just launched. I am sure you will be delighted.

CapX's new version incorporates valuable community feedback gathered over the past months, including the Organization Profile - a feature for Wikimedia affiliates, initiatives, or community groups to create their own CapX presence (see here how to create yours).

Gurene Wikipedia

Hi, I saw your post on Dnshitobu's talk page, do you know how to contact an admin at Gurene Wikipedia? I noticed that somebody has added 686 unreferenced articles since 17 October, all including the word "Dɔɔ-kɔrbɔg". I suspect that they should all be deleted. TSventon (talk) 00:01, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

@TSventon: Oh, wow. Based on the article names, I guess "Dɔɔ-kɔrbɔg" means "company", so all the articles basically say "X is a British company". Totally agree that that's not really useful. Unfortunately, the Gurene Wikipedia doesn't have any local sysops, so the best bet is to simply tag the articles with {{delete|Mass-produced low-effort "article"}} or something along those lines, and global sysops should get to them pretty quickly. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 01:30, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, stewards have deleted the articles. I only tagged 8 articles, as that was all the system would allow in one go. TSventon (talk) 13:15, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Request for Wp/kai logo review

Hello sir @Jon Harald Søby, we completed the settings in the request page for Wp/kai here (Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Karai-Karai) and we need your help to review the logo we uploaded and confirm whether it is okay or needs some improvements. Help us please if there is any other thing missing on the page or any required settings we might have missed. Thank you in advance for your help. De-Invincible (talk) 19:38, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
