• curprev 17:1117:11, 2 June 2025 NebY talk contribs 234,468 bytes +114 →Retaining the existing variety: we do however put {{Use X English}} templates on article pages, as they're only visible in edit/view-source mode Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• curprev 16:1116:11, 2 June 2025 Largoplazo talk contribs 234,354 bytes −1 (null edit) And I just removed the British English tags from those articles and placed them on the talk pages of three of them that didn't already have one.
• curprev 14:5514:55, 2 June 2025 NebY talk contribs 234,355 bytes −15 Undid revision 1293571310 by Jonesey95 (talk) contrary to template documentation and general practice, e.g. Template:American English is used on no article pages, Template:British English on four - and they look awful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Template%3ABritish+English&namespace=0&limit=50 Tag: Undo
• curprev 13:1413:14, 2 June 2025 Jonesey95 talk contribs 234,370 bytes +15 →Retaining the existing variety: "Use X English" templates are often placed on articles as well as talk pages Tag: Reverted

1 June 2025

• curprev 04:1704:17, 1 June 2025 Balsam Cottonwood talk contribs 234,355 bytes +6 →Brackets and parentheses: added shortcut

25 May 2025

• curprev 15:2715:27, 25 May 2025 Florian Blaschke talk contribs 234,349 bytes +9 →Double or single: not attested
• curprev 15:2315:23, 25 May 2025 Florian Blaschke talk contribs 234,340 bytes +18 →Double or single: Turkic is an extensive language family, not a single language. We should discourage the practice to label cited words with language families (lest we end up getting everything labeled as "Indo-European" or "Nostratic" out of laziness). Also the loose use of the word "root".

23 May 2025

• curprev 14:3214:32, 21 May 2025 Voidxor talk contribs 234,330 bytes +9 →Consistency within articles: I believe this is from an ISO standard. I was directed here looking for a policy on ISO spellings so it would be nice to be able to find that with [Ctrl]+[F]. Tag: Reverted

• curprev 13:3813:38, 20 May 2025 NebY talk contribs 234,321 bytes +7 Undid revision 1291258301 by I am bad at usernames (talk) rvt deletion of shortcut: we particularly want the significant number of editors who use non-English keyboards to have easy access to this section Tag: Undo
• curprev 02:2702:27, 20 May 2025 I am bad at usernames talk contribs 234,314 bytes −7 →Spelling and romanization: Unrealistic as an actual shortcut, n-with-tilde is hard to type on most english keyboards Tag: Reverted

9 May 2025

• curprev 07:2307:23, 9 May 2025 Mimarx talk contribs m 234,321 bytes +40 →How to add an invisible comment: only in VisualEditor toolbar, I presume because it isn't in the Source Editor toolbar (or if someone smart could add 'comment' to the source editor toolbar that would be good)
• curprev 03:0103:01, 9 May 2025 Jruderman talk contribs 234,281 bytes +174 →Apostrophes: Bring guidance in line with template documentation: {{'}} is for use after italicized text, while {{`}} is for other uses where the only concern is confusion with markup.
