- @Wedysoft: Hi, your page is located in the user namespace, you need to move it yourself to the main namespace. It may take some time after that before it gets approved by a new page reviewer though. Shellwood (talk) 15:13, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Question from Thisiscarmend (15:02, 17 February 2026)
Hi @Shellwood! I wanted to know if the process for creating Disambiguation pages is the same as creating other articles on Wikipedia? May I submit it for your review or can I create it anyway? Thanks! --Thisiscarmend (talk) 15:02, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Thisiscarmend: Hi, it depends on what you write on it, but generally it doesn't need any sourcing if it's just a list of links. This is a quick guide on the topic: WP:DDD. You can just submit it and someone will review it, it doesn't have to be me. Shellwood (talk) 15:16, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you @Shellwood! Thisiscarmend (talk) 22:26, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
Question from Greenchair222 (00:49, 19 February 2026)
How would I create a Wikipedia page? --Greenchair222 (talk) 00:49, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Greenchair222: Hi, your account needs to be autoconfirmed before you can publish any articles. That happens automatically after four days and once you have made ten edits. Until then, start by making a draft in your sandbox. This link contains useful information. Shellwood (talk) 12:40, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
