  • A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

As per Wikipedia:Deletion review#Closing reviews, non-admin early closures are not really a done thing, so I have reopened this discussion for now. Stifle (talk) 09:56, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Stifle, I admit that didn't read the fine print of that section and didn't realize my close was probably inappropriate. Sorry for the inconvenience. Clyde!Franklin! 10:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  • Germany FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
  • United States TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  • Byzantine Empire Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included Berkelland LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, New England Trainsandotherthings, England Lee Vilenski, Indonesia Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, Washington (state) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and Chicago PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

AFDs

Hello, ClydeFranklin,

There seems to be a problem with your signature on the AFDs you closed. Could you please check your signature to make sure it follows guidelines and includes both a link to your User page and User talk page? It seems lika a very unusual signature and AFD closures should be very straight-forward and not have anything unusual about them. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 06:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Here's an example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wiley X. What is the "ping" in your signature for? Liz Read! Talk! 06:26, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Liz, the "ping" bit is a reminder to ping me when replying to me. It links to my user page, talk page, & contribs. I can't find any part of the sig policy this violates. — {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 13:42, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Roy McGrath redirect

{{resolved}}

Hello! I was working on a page for Roy McGrath in my Sandbox before you created a redirect going to a subsection on Larry Hogan's page. I was hoping it would be okay if I overwrote your redirect with the page I was writing? Thanks! Y2hyaXM (talk) 04:42, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Y2hyaXM, go for it! {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 04:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Page mover granted

{{resolved}}

Hello, ClydeFranklin. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:55, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

{{resolved}} Out of curiosity, what happened with this edit? — Qwerfjkltalk 14:07, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Qwerfjkl: The day before that edit, I tried to close a CFD as rename and list it at WT:CFDW, however I couldn't figure out the script and reverted. Then, the next day, I was in my sandbox and saw a unfamiliar button (list pages), clicked on it, and found out that was how the script worked. {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 18:22, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

ManiLLa, I'm not the one who made the decision to move the page, I merely did it on behalf of Alyo. I encourage you to discuss it with him, and probably ultimately take it to Wikipedia:Requested moves. {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 22:03, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ManiLLa, if you want to start a discussion on the article's talk page, I can explain why that precise page name doesn't work. Alyo (chat·edits) 01:01, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
