Wikipedia style and naming

RfC to determine how reflinks are linked or not in the |work= field as done by bot. -- GreenC 20:05, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Citing sources

Is consistently using the capitalization used by sources (except for all-caps titles) considered an acceptable reference formatting style? 17:27, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather

Part 4 of WP:DISASTER reads: If there is no accepted name, the name should be formatted as follows: tornado, tornado outbreak, or tornado outbreak sequence, followed by Geographic location (only if necessary: City, State, Country, Continent, or any combination of these), followed by Year (or Month/year, or day/month/year if need be). Example: Tornado outbreak of April 14–16, 2011

Please rank these title options from most to least preferred for a non-year article:

Narrow date range
Tornado outbreak of January 2–3, 1234 when January 2–3 covers ~60% of sources
Broad date range
Tornado outbreak of January 1–4, 1234 when January 1–4 covers ~90% of sources
Part of month
Tornado outbreak of Early January, 1234, Tornado outbreak of mid-January, 1234, Tornado outbreak of Late January, 1234

Each part is 10 days, moved forward or back 3 days for flexibility and discretion
Month
Tornado outbreak of January 1234

The next preferred option is used to disambiguate two events in the same (part of the) month. Year ranges can be used for December–January events. This RfC does not change the WP:COMMONNAME name/location parts 1–3 of WP:DISASTER. 216.58.25.209 (talk) 14:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography

As per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of Australia#First Nations group names in the first sentence of bio articles?:

A: Can belonging to an Aboriginal Australian or Torres Strait Islander group be considered a form of nationality?

B: Should MOS:NATIONALITY be edited to include an example of someone belonging to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander nation with that nationality named as a demonym in the first sentence of the lead, similarly to the example given for Native Americans and Indigenous Canadians? E.g. the first sentence of the Ashleigh Barty article reads:

Ashleigh Jacinta Barty AO (born 24 April 1996) is an Australian (Ngarigo^[1]^[2]) former professional tennis player and cricketer.

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Film

Should "animated" be linked in the lead sentences of articles for animated films? Example: Toy Story is an animated adventure comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. —Matthew / (talk) 22:25, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia policies and guidelines

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Newspapers/Notability

Can we adopt re-classify this informal essay on notability of newspapers as a formal Wikipedia:Guideline?

Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers/Notability→ Wikipedia:Notability (newspapers)

Having a guideline for notability of newspapers addresses the challenge of supporting recent increased interest in developing Wikipedia's relationship with fact-checking, journalism, reliable media, and newspapers in particular.

One existing closely related guideline is for books. Here is that, and several comparable essays for media.
