Commission nationale consultative des droits de l'homme

Hope you are doing great. Regarding CNCDH, yes i did verify the resources. Can you please share your concerns? ResearcherGeek (talk) 20:22, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

ResearcherGeek, this is regarding this edit at Commission nationale consultative des droits de l'homme. The wording used sounds like it was written by a chat bot and the citation is a bare url. We would like articles to be written in your own words, using sources you have read and summarizing those sources. If you rewrite this content using your own words and add a complete citation, you can put the material back. Do you need help with how to write a citation?

Question from RandomEstonian (17:17, 28 November 2025)

Hiya! I'm an new editor from Estonia to help fix some articles about Estonia. I would like to get some tips on how to make better fixes! Cheers! --RandomEstonian (talk) 17:17, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, RandomEstonian, and welcome! I dropped a Welcome message on your Talk page, have you seen it yet? There are a couple of links there that should help you get started. The "suggested edits" feature on your Home page is a good place to look to get started. Are you able to find that? Mathglot (talk) 10:36, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Question from Rubangakene victor warid (11:59, 3 December 2025)

Hello how were can I fill my biography --Rubangakene victor warid (talk) 11:59, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Rubangakene victor warid, you can use your own user page at User:Rubangakene victor warid to give some very brief details about yourself, but if you mean how do you create a biograpy about yourself for inclusion in Wikipedia as a regular, encyclopedic article, this is very much discouraged. If you are WP:Notable enough, someone else may create the biography of you, but you should not contribute to it, to avoid a possible conflict of interest. Does this answer your question?

hey, how do i make a article about a person? --Retr0Da0G (talk) 11:58, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Retr0Da0G, hey back, and welcome! I've left you a message on your Talk page with some links about editing Wikipedia, please have a look at it and follow the links. One of those links is Help:Your first article, which pretty much explains step-by-step what you have to do to create an article. One of the main things to look out for:

• Make sure the person is WP:Notable—in the Wikipedia sense of the word, this means there are multiple, independent, reliable sources with significant coverage about them.

This is really important, so read up on WP:Notability before you start, and follow the steps in Help:Your first article. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask for help anytime! Mathglot (talk) 19:43, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from Scorpian66 (01:43, 10 December 2025)

I am concerned with a gradual shift toward Leftist Bias in their information. I think it is important to let people know that contributions to Wikipedia are defacto contributions to Leftist positions and causes. I have been a long term supporter for Wikipedia but I will no longer support clearly biased positions. Further it is important to make sure the general public is aware of this bias because as prevalent in information services as Wikipedia is it must be counterbalanced or even dissolved. --Scorpian66 (talk) 01:43, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Scorpian66, nobody should support clearly biased positions, but it's hard to know what you are referring to without a link. Can you please link the article, or at least, tell me its name, and I will be better able to help you with it. There is very little I can do otherwise. Thanks for getting involved with Wikipedia, and I look forward to your contributions! Mathglot (talk) 04:01, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Mathglot, Thank you for your response.

I am an aerospace Process Engineer by trade and believe in precision and fact based processes. In example I will use the article referring to the News website Fox News. I would consider Fox news generally mainstream in it's positions with a very slight tilt to the right in political stance. Here is their descriptive article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News). Now compare it with a known Left skewed news site CNN news (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN). When you do this comparison CNN is self admittedly "Woke" and "Left" oriented where Fox News is attempting to remain centered even to the point of adding Left leaning editors, news shows and programs. Look at the two descriptions and the way that each is handled. I would love to hear your opinion; keep in mind that I am not Right oriented politically. I do not support President Trump; not because I disagree with all of his policies but because his concerns are for self gratification not the welfare of the USA. If you prefer we can continue this discussion in German or Arabic if either of those languages is easier for you. I wonder, judging by your name, if you are a physics lover also? Perhaps you play Bridge? Scorpian66 (talk) 05:40, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Scorpian66, as someone who has been here for nearly two decades I can tell you that the central point you are making above has come up umpteen times, and so I will decline to get involved here on my Talk page, as I've heard it all before. That said, I can tell you that there is another venue that is the right place to discuss it, and the first stop for doing is the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, where numerous editors interested in source reliability gather to discuss exactly such questions. The second stop arose later, when it was noticed after some years at the RS Noticeboard that some sources and discussions kept coming up over and over, and in order to save time not reinventing the wheel on discussions about sources that has been held numerous times before, a separate venue was created called Wikipedia:Perennial sources (RSP). This page lists about 500 sources that have had come up repeatedly at RSN and attempts to summarize all the discussions about a source, and where feasible, give an evaluation of source reliability based on those discussions, to save you from having to read disparate discussions filed away in various discussion archives.

So there is no real benefit to be had by discussing this just with me, when nothing much would result from it just based on two editors' opinions on a Talk page where nobody else will hear about it. I would suggest you instead have a look at WP:RSP for whatever sites like Fox or CNN that you are interested in, follow the links from there to past discussions, and once armed with the gist of past discussions, then head over to WP:RSN, and raise the question you asked above there instead. Please {{ping}} me to it if you do. About other things: I tried Bridge for a while, many of my friends enjoyed it, but I didn't and gave it up. I like physics, but only as the rankest of amateurs.

Question from Tito Munshi (08:50, 10 December 2025)

Hello, I want to put the data for Tito Munshi in Wikipedia. could you please help me regarding this? --Tito Munshi (talk) 08:50, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Tito Munshi. It is highly discouraged to add an article about yourself (or anyone you know professionally or personally) at Wikipedia, due to the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest policy. If you want to proceed anyway, see Help:Your first article. But you can write about other topics at Wikipedia, would you like help with that? Mathglot (talk) 09:22, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from Wamao12 (07:47, 12 December 2025)

Hello Mathglot, How can I add verified sources to a page to remove the flagging banners? --Wamao12 (talk) 07:47, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Wamao12. Can I assume we are talking about the article Timothy Williams (author), and the {{BLP unreferenced section}} banners you see there? And are you asking how to find sources for the page, or you already have sources and you want to know how to add citations to the article using the sources you have on hand? Let me leave you with Help:Referencing for beginners as a starting point, and please ask again with more detail. Mathglot (talk) 10:32, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Wamao12, just wanted to let you know that I have edited the banners at Timothy Williams (author) to add params that make the search string that you see in small print at the bottom of each of the banners more targeted to elicit better results. If your question is about finding sources, clicking those links is a good starting point. Mathglot (talk) 02:48, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from MindDrafts (09:45, 13 December 2025)

Hi, Dear Mathglot, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to check with you whether my Wikipedia account is now considered active and trusted enough to start drafting a new article.

So far, I have:

Corrected spelling mistakes

Added or removed commas

Adjusted plural forms where needed

Removed a few extra words to improve readability

Could you advise me if my account is ready for drafting, or if there’s anything else I should do first?

Thanks so much for your guidance!

Best regards, MindDrafts --MindDrafts (talk) 09:45, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

MindDrafts, nice to see you contributing and getting involved. There are several levels of protection related to new users, and the first threshold is when you have ten edits and four days seniority, and you are close to that now. When you reach that level, you will be able to create articles, but not before. That said, creating an article is one of the most difficult tasks at Wikipedia, so I recommend you start off on some easier tasks, like those suggested at your homepage. If you are hell bent on starting a new article, get ready for a slog, read WP:Your first article, and feel free to contact me if you run into problems, which you should plan on running into! Look forward to your contributions here, and once again, welcome! Mathglot (talk) 09:57, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from LastLegend385 (18:12, 15 December 2025)

Hi Mathglot, I am an expert in reproductive physiology and translational fertility. If I found an error in the Wiki article, what is the best way to fix it: myself or reach out to an editor? Thanks --LastLegend385 (talk) 18:12, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, LastLegend385, and welcome! The best way is to fix it yourself. No expertise needed, btw, just an ability to find sources, and knowledge of how to create Wikipedia-style inline citations. Recommend you have a look at the suite of citation templates, such as {{cite book}}, {{cite journal}}, {{cite web}} (there are many others in the series). You may always choose to make an edit request instead, but the only time when that is strongly encouraged is when you have an edit conflict of some sort, and very definitely if you are paid by any entity relate to the article you want to edit. Other than that, just WP:BE BOLD!

By the way, experts in a field who are new to Wikipedia very often fall into the trap of adding content to articles without including a citation to a reliable source because they know the topic backwards and forwards and could expound for hours about it without cracking a book. Please don't do that. Even if you wrote the definitive textbook about a topic, you need to cite it (well, cite somebody else's, just to avoid a suspicion of WP:REFSPAM). Always cite assertions to a source; grammar changes, typos, rewording for clarity, etc., don't require citations. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 00:20, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @LastLegend385 Welcome to Wikipedia. Out of curiosity I looked at Ovum quality and noticed that as well as changing some content you also changed a couple of spellings. As Wikipedia is written by editors who use many versions of English, there are rules about which version to use when: basically, unless the article has a strong connection to a place, then the choice of version of English is made by the first editor who makes a substantial contribution to the article. (See WP:ENGVAR.) I've changed a couple of spellings back, and also added the "Use British English" and "Use dmy dates" templates, as it was originated by an editor based in Scotland. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey. PamD 11:12, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, PamD, for this guidance. ‘Fertilisation’ always rubs me the wrong way, but I will have to respect the rules. LastLegend385 (talk) 17:11, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from PA ZTI (10:43, 16 December 2025)

Hi how do i create a new article --PA ZTI (talk) 10:43, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, PA ZTI. That's something that is a bit complicated, especially for a new user. I left you a Welcome message on your user Talk page with some helpful links to ease the learning process here. One of them includes detailed information about how to create a new article, but I really don't recommend it, as the first thing you try to do here. We can talk more about what you will need to learn in order to do that, but first, can you tell me what kind of articles you are interested in, and what you might want to write about? Mathglot (talk) 10:51, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

something about content creators, celebrities stuffs like that PA ZTI (talk) 13:15, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

PA ZTI, do you have someone in mind? The help page at Help:Your first article will walk you through it, but I'll be honest, it isn't easy, and as a new user it can be discouraging. Why not start out with some easier tasks first, and then work up to that? Your User homepage lists suggested edits for you; why not give that a try? Mathglot (talk) 20:30, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

i have a teenage celebrity in mind PA ZTI (talk) 20:40, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

me PA ZTI (talk) 20:47, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

That's complicated to the point of being near impossible. Please see WP:Conflict of interest. Basically, you can write about anybody or anything here at Wikipedia, except yourself and any other topics your are personally or professionally connected with. But if your media presence is about a particular topic or hobby, like college rugby, or goth fashion, or you name it, then you might be able to write about those in a general way, as long as it isn't about yourself, and you aren't paid or compensated in any way (e.g. freebees) related to it. Are you interested in trying that? Can I ask what your areas of interest are? Mathglot (talk) 20:59, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello,again, PA ZTI. I've left a message on your user Talk page about Dealing with a Conflict of interest at Wikipedia. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:14, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Yours truly, CapnZapp (talk) 09:55, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Capn. Looks like 35 of them were moved. Of those, there were three testcases or sandbox files that didn't; I have the list somewhere. And then there are, as you indicate, some 'unregistered' that didn't get moved. I think given the close, it is fine for us to move them. There's obviously some sort of mass-move script out there somewhere, but I've never used it, and I probably wouldn't use it, as the potential for damage is pretty high; in any case, there are only eight with that term (plus their /doc and /sandbox pages), and we can just do those manually. On the other hand, there are a bunch of redirects that need adjustment, but most of those seem low priority. Spread the optimism; it's the season! Mathglot (talk) 17:03, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from Claracima on Daniel Giménez (football manager) (14:31, 23 December 2025)

Hola ¿como puedo eliminar " vida personal" no me deja eliminarlo. Gracias --Claracima (talk) 14:31, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Claracima, la seccion § Personal life tiene ya dos referencias a fuentes fiables. Para eliminar la seccion habra' que proveer referencias fiables mas recentes que ellas, que digan lo contrario. No es suficiente negarlo, sencillamente porque Ud. conoce la verdad de la situacion; eso nos conduciria al caos—ya ve Ud. porque, verdad? con cada cual diciendo lo que quiere en un arti'ulo u otro. Mathglot (talk) 23:35, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

hola su situación a cambiado sé ha divorcio pero creó que es un tema personal que no le interesa a nadie, soy un familiar muy allegado a él. Sé de lo qué hablo. Ya no voy a insistir más si sé puede eliminar su vida personal perfecto sino pues que siga así. Muchas gracias por intentar ayudarme Claracima (talk) 03:34, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Claracima, no habra' lo mas mi'nimo problema para eliminarlo, pero bajo la condici'on que Ud. (o alguien) provea una citacio'n a una fuente fiable diciendo lo que Ud. dice es la verdad. Como he' explicado ya, no importa que Ud. sea un familiar, ni que Ud. sea su antigua esposa, ni su nueva esposa, ni Daniel Giménez el mismo; sin una citacio'n a una fuente fiable no se puede hacer nada; con una citacio'n a una fuente fiable, se puede hacer todo. Es extremamente facil cambiar el arti'culo de la manera que Ud. quisiera, con una fuente. Me explico claramente? Mathglot (talk) 04:16, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Mathglot gracias por tu paciencia conmigo,si te entiendo perfectamente y lo encontró lógico sino cada uno haría y diría lo que quiera. Una fuente fiable ¿es el documento dónde esté la sentencia de anulación del matrimonio? Muchísimas gracias por tu ayuda Claracima (talk) 07:08, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Claracima De nada, y sin problema; te ayudo con mucho gusto. Para explicar mas acerca de las fuentes fiables: pues, antes de explicarlo, tengo que explicar otra cosa antes. Hay muchas Wikipedias—esta, en ingle's, pero tambien otras, en castellano, alema'n, indonesiano, Tok Pisin, y unas cuantas 300 mas. Entonces, cada una tiene el derecho de establecer sus propias reglas, lo que llamamos (en Wikipedia en ingles) policies and guidelines, es decir, poli'ticas y convenciones. Ahora, aqui' in Wikipedia en ingles, lo de fuentes fiables ('WP:Reliable sources') pertenece y se aplica solamente a Wikipedia en ingles; puede ser que Wikipedia en castellano tiene otra poli'tica. (Si' la tienen; es aqui'; pero se aplica solamente a Wikipedia en espan~ol, y no aca'!). Comprendes la situacio'n? A veces, las reglas son bastante parecidas, entre una Wikipedia y otra, pero no siempre. Asi' que, lo que te digo aqui', se aplica solamente a Wikipedia en ingles; estamos de acuerdo?

Bueno, siguiendo con tu pregunta: la pa'gina de la convencion ('guideline') de las fuentes fiables es Wikipedia:Reliable sources; puedes leerla en traduccion automa'tica (con algunos errores) aqui'. Te aconsejo leerla. Pero en breve, no tiene que ser un certificado de divorcio, sino un informe de cualquiera fuente fiable, como por ejemplo un perio'dico reconocido por publicar las noticias verdaderas, y no tonteri'as. Habiendo dicho eso, si tu sabes donde encontrar el certificado de divorcio en li'nea, eso serviri'a tambien, porque un documento de un tribunal o gobierno es fiable. En cambio, las medias sociales (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, etc) no son aceptadas, porque cualquiera persona podri' escribir cualquiera cosa. Espero que esto te ayuda saber que clase de fuente sera' requi'sita para el arti'culo. Gracias, Mathglot (talk) 09:00, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from ThyCheshireCat (18:35, 30 December 2025)

I'm working a draft right now and most things are rather easy to figure out, but I'm struggling to get Notes to work. As the article I'm cooking up deals with a topic that requires me to briefly explain a few secondary things that don't have pages of their own, it'd be nice to know how. --ThyCheshireCat (talk) 18:35, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, ThyCheshireCat. It would help to have a link to the page you are talking about so I can see where the difficulty lies. In a very general way, and assuming you are talking about explanatory notes, you should have a look at templates {{efn}} (place in-line, in the body) and {{notelist}} (place at the end, in the References section). If those links don't solve the problem, come back with some more details, I can help you better. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 22:22, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Best way forward in creating a wiki commons and editing a specific Wikipedia entry

Hello Mathglot.

I am a fan of Wikipedia and I applaud the projects that Wikimedia is championing. I am an experienced academic writer with multiple publications in refereed academic journals in law and the social sciences. I have read Wikimedia's copyright policies and have no problem with them. I am reasonably proficient with IT.

But I am now bewildered by all the hurdles that have now presented themselves to me.

I have two very simple projects. I am a member of a small village community and I wish to create for it two things:

(a) A Wikicommons archive to house and provide public access to important historical/cutural heritage files for the community (consisting of documents in PDF form, photos, sound and AV recordings)

(b) An expanded Wikipedia entry to replace a rather basic entry about this village that someone or a bot placed on Wikipedia some time ago.

I now find myself in a position where (1) as a new user I have been blocked in uploading PDFs (notwithstanding my very careful statement of the compliant free use licence expressly given by the author of the work); and (2) I have to serve a long apprenticeship (500 edits I am informed) before I can upload PDFs to the Wikicommons or get near to re-writing the basic village Wikipedia entry.

The interface is pretty clunky - it is very 1990s programming style commands. All of this is operating rather powerfully from proceeding further - it just seems a bit too hard.

Is there some simpler way I can achieve my objectives (a) and (b) above? I would be grateful for your advice. KalloniEditor7 (talk) 20:51, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi KalloniEditor7, thanks for your message, and I am sorry you are running into all these difficulties. I will help you to the best of my abilities, but I can tell you that (a) and (b) belong to two different Wikipedia projects, as you seem to be aware from having mentioned Wikicommons, which is where all our media are stored which are available in common for all 300+ Wikipedias, not to mention multiple sister projects. I should certainly be able to help you with (b), and I have no doubt we can get the article fixed up satisfactorily, one way or another. I am only somewhat knowledgeable about Wikicommons, and I can point you in the right direction(s), but any definitive answers about what you may do and in what manner must come from experienced users there. Don't worry, there are Help facilities there, just as there are here. I do know that uploading archives is welcome; the Met in NYC has uploaded half a million items to Commons, and is very happy with the result. More people find their items via Wikicommons, than by searching the Met website. So it makes sense to do so for Kalloni. Can you link the response where someone told you that you cannot upload them?

Let's start out first with the village article. I can safely assume we are talking about Kalloni, Grevena. Who told you that you need to have 500 edits before you can edit the article? This is false, as the article is already created. It is true that there are certain restrictions based on edit-count seniority, and the 500-edit level is called WP:Extended confirmed, and you need that in order to *create* a new article, but not to edit one. (There are certain articles that are considered contentious, or subject to increased vandalism, or for whatever reason are limited to users with extended confirmed status; if you go to the Charlie Kirk article for example, you will see a blue padlock upper right with an 'E' for 'Extended' protection, so you won't be able to edit that one yet. Not so, however, for the Kalloni, Grevena article. Did you try to edit it? What happened?

There is, however, another wrinkle. Based on your username, it seems clear you have some sort of relationship with the Kalloni locality. This might, or might not present a problem. I will leave you a standardized, canned message on your Talk page that you should have a look at and follow the links to see if it applies to you, and what (if anything) you need to do about it.

Finally, I very much hope you do stick around, and I will try to smooth the bumps as much as I can. I do have one favor to ask you: at some point, whether you decide to stay or leave, would you be willing to leave some feedback detailing the pain points you have gone through in on-boarding here? There is a WP:WikiProject called WP:WikiProject Editor Retention concerned solely with keeping valuable editors and new editor candidates welcome and satisfied so they continue to contribute. Judging from your background, level of introspection, and ability to clearly express your thoughts, I think your remarks would be very valuable. (But stay!)

I hope that this is at least a start in answering your questions. Please follow-up with links to previous responses, and I may be able to help you better. And stay tuned for the promised boilerplate message I mentioned. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 23:03, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Mathglot - Thank you very much for your response. I will try to provide the information requested:

1. Yes, I have entered the entry for Kalloni, Grevena and have been successful in editing it. I am doing bit by bit, so that is helping me bump up the edit count, so that I can get to some level of 'seniority".
2. Although I have an association with the locality, I am not really in a conflict of interest situation - athough I do understand your point, and I have no quarrel with Wikimedia's sensible policy on that issue. My initial intention was to get the ball rolling, and then get some of my other villagers involved in the editing and translating process. Having read your comment, I have now reflected upon the fact that it might have been better to have a selected a less locality-specific username. I will ask the question, but I get the sinking feeling that it is probably impossible to change username.... Is that right? 3. I will try to send you the earlier editor response.

KalloniEditor7 (talk) 01:35, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

KalloniEditor7, Ha, our messages crossed, while I was dropping the coi templated message on your Talk page. Jumping to #2: you most certainly can change username, but you shouldn't do it because it somehow hides a connection; you would still have to declare your connection if a COI is involved, no matter what your username is. Whether to change or not is mostly up to you, I think it is compliant, but you can read the policy here. I know two editors who have edited for years as '<Famous-singer>-fan', so it's certainly possible. I will try to remember to drop a username-related message on your Tlk page as well, a bit later. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 01:44, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

KalloniEditor7, I re-read my message, and realized one part was ambiguous. You may certainly change your username, but changing it won't alter the coi requirement for disclosure. Hope this clarifies, in case there was any confusion. Mathglot (talk) 21:10, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Ideas about Template:Sfnlink

Hi Mathglot! Good job with {{Sfnlink}}! I saw you played already with one of the modules I created, and recently I came up with a few ideas on how to improve {{Sfnlink}} as well using Params. Currently the template calls the {{Sfnlink/encode}} subtemplate to sanitize each unnamed parameter, and this calls {{#invoke:string|replace}} three times; this means that when {{Sfnlink}} is transcluded there could be up to twelve module calls—also {{#invoke:string|replace}} currently uses mw.ustring.gsub(), which is quite slow and is not needed in this case. The whole thing could be simplified to three module calls in total and without {{Sfnlink/encode}}, independently of how many parameters are passed to the template. Here is a possible version that reproduces the current behavior:

[[:{{{lang|en}}}:{{#if: {{{rev|}}}
	| Special:Permalink/{{{rev|}}}
	| {{#ifeq: {{{article|}}} | *
		| {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}
		| {{{article|}}}
	}}
}}#{{sfnlink/prefix|{{{lang|en}}}}}{{#invoke:params|
	excluding_non-numeric_names|
	squeezing|
	mapping_by_replacing|''+||
	mapping_by_replacing|'|'|plain|
	mapping_by_replacing|"|"|plain|
	sequential|
	setting|n|Doe1997|
	list_values
}}|{{{text|{{#invoke:params|
	squeezing|
	cutting|0|1|
	sequential|
	setting|i/l/s/n|, | & |, & |Doe|
	list_values
}} {{#if:{{{nb|}}}
	| {{#invoke:params|squeezing|cutting|-1|0|setting|n|1997|value_of|1}}
	| ({{#invoke:params|squeezing|cutting|-1|0|setting|n|1997|value_of|1}})
}}}}}]]{{#if: {{{p|{{{page|<noinclude>1</noinclude>}}}}}} | &#32;p. {{{p|{{{page|<noinclude>123</noinclude>}}}}}}}}{{#if: {{{pp|{{{pages|}}}}}} | &#32;pp. {{{pp|{{{pages|}}}}}}}}<!--
-->{{#if: {{{loc|}}} | {{#if: {{{p|{{{page|}}}}}}{{{pp|{{{pages|}}}}}} | ,}}&#32;{{{loc|}}}}}<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>

It should be properly tested in the sandbox first, but the preview seems working fine. I have left “Doe (1997) p. 123” for the template page, but maybe an error message should be displayed when no parameters are passed (and the whole template wrapped within <includeonly>...<includeonly>)? What do you think? Happy hacking! --Grufo (talk) 01:15, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Grufo, thanks for your message! I speed-read it (cuz swamped elsewhere) and it looks very promising. I have long been interested in module:params and have plans to learn more about it, as I have a hunch that it could be used to turbocharge {{Edit}} preloads (more on that another time) and other things. Template language is notorious for how inefficient it is, and I love hearing how things can be made more efficient by improvements of this nature. I love hearing from you, and watching what you are interested in, or up to. I'll get back to you on this. Have a Happy New Year! Mathglot (talk) 01:24, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

That's really nice to hear! Yes, that is the spirit in which I created that module. It does not turn wikitext into a Turing-complete language, but I hope it brings it a bit closer. I know that the documentation can look scary, but than I think that a shorter documentation would be even scarier to look at. As for {{Edit}} preloads, maybe you can have a look at how {{Preload}} uses that module to support infinite preload parameters (but I don't know what you have in mind). For instance, to support |arg1=, |arg2=, … |argN=, this should do:

{{#invoke:params|sequential|with_name_matching|^arg%d+$|renaming_by_replacing|^arg(%d+)$|%1|1|squeezing|setting|ih|&preloadparams%5b%5d{{=}}|magic_for_each_value|urlencode|QUERY}}

I will be happy to answer your questions, if you have any! Happy new year! --Grufo (talk) 01:39, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Question from Nkbok on Alex Burghart (05:59, 2 January 2026)

Can you make the image smaller pls I'm useless --Nkbok (talk) 05:59, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Nkbok, sure, should be good, now. Check it again (you might have to refresh/reload the page, to see the change). How's that, now? Mathglot (talk) 06:20, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

thank you that's perfect 🙏 Nkbok (talk) 06:23, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from Nkbok (09:53, 2 January 2026)

What's your favourite source for finding your own pictures to submit --Nkbok (talk) 09:53, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Nkbok, not quite sure I understand, because if you really mean, 'my own pictures', then my favorite source is my camera. But I think you probably meant something else. Can you clarify? Mathglot (talk) 09:56, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

i mean finding pictures online that are allowed on Wikipedia Nkbok (talk) 10:06, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Nkbok, I don't upload *that* many images myself, but by far the easiest, are images I take myself. These are almost guaranteed acceptance, because they don't violate any copyright. Searching for images online is harder, because of the licensing restrictions, but you could try Flickr. Users there have the option to place their images under CC BY-SA and other compatible licenses, and if you find one like that, you can upload it (like thousands have already been uploaded). But it is crucial to understand what copyright pertains to the original image, before you upload it. More information about this is available at Wikicommons; try asking specific questions at c:Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Hope this helps! Mathglot (talk) 10:14, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Template:Uh-page-numbers?

I'm going through a report of unused templates, and {{Uh-page-numbers}} popped up. For most of the templates, I just TFD them, but I recognized your name as a valuable contributor and wanted to check in to see if you have plans for this one. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:09, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Jonesey95, very thoughtful of you. I did have, and thought I used it, but I guess I didn't (or maybe I hand-wrote it first on a User talk page, and then built the template from it afterward; can't remember now). I'll move it to my user space. Thanks for the heads-up! Mathglot (talk) 04:22, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Groovy. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:40, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
