Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

[edit]
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Tamazgha, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

- @Skitash: Did you misread the diff or something? AethyrX's version is far more referenced than the one you reverted to (and they did include edit summaries). Nardog (talk) 12:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- My edit was primarily additive, the only part of the article I outright removed was the statement that Tamazgha "is a fictitious entity". This was a controversial claim that caused multiple unproductive back-and-forth edits and was based on an unreliable source (IIRC, I mentioned this in my edit summary). Sorry if I'm misunderstanding something but I do think my edit should be maintained, even if without the removal of the claim about Tamazgha being a fictitious entity.

- I take Skitash's silence to be an acknowledgement of their mistake. I've reinstated your version. Nardog (talk) 02:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies for missing your notification. I have only reverted the user due to their addition of unsourced WP:OR, such as the Latin Tamazight and Neo-Tifinagh Tamazight translations of the word, and their removal of "fictitious entity", which is supported by numerous credible sources. As for the rest of their additions, they seem satisfactory, so I will go ahead and reinstate them. Skitash (talk) 13:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- The Latin Tamazight and Neo-Tifinagh Tamazight translations were under the first citation, sorry if that wasn't clear. Brahim El Guabli's 'The Idea of Tamazgha' states "ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵖⴰ, تامازغا, or Tamazgha is a concept that has acquired a transnational cultural and political significance among Amazigh speakers since the late 1990s. Often described as a neologism, Tamazgha can be simply defined as the Amazigh homeland." I probably should've included it in the source's quote and just forgot to.
