@Avocadobabygirl, MurielMary, and Oronsay: Hi Avocadobabygirl! I'm "pinging" two editors very familiar with New Zealand topics that may be interested in this new article and may be able to further expand it. User:Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 08:55, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Avocadobabygirl, thanks for attending Saturday's Ada Lovelace Day editathon and for the contributions you made that day. They and you were much appreciated. Please feel free to reach out on my talk page if you have any questions or issues with editing. I'm also going to send an email inviting you to virtually attend the next Aotearoa New Zealand meetup on Sunday the 16th of October or physically attend the next Wellington Wiki meetup on Saturday the 29th of October. Thanks again for your contributions and happy editing! Ambrosia10 (talk) 00:06, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Ambrosia10! I had a great time and feel like I've learned a lot. :) Avocadobabygirl (talk) 01:45, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, travelling to and from Wellington. Get in quick.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 19:15, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Blobby (fish), which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi there, Avocadobabygirl, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already been creating biographies of women and hope there will be many more. In this connection, you might find it useful to look at the tips in our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:27, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Avocadobabygirl, can you plz add full syntax values to the Template:Infobox exhibition..? (as similar to Template:Infobox venue and/or Template:Infobox company). I am asking in relation to this query at Helpdesk.
--~2026-48624-9 (talk) 05:33, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing, I've added that now - hopefully I've provided what you need? I can add in usage notes in comments if required. Avocadobabygirl (talk) 22:11, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Avocadobabygirl, one important necessary field is missing: ′official website′. By the way, ′fetchwikidata=ALL′ syntax dosen't fetch anything. You can see this for reference: [1]. Do you know a fix? --Gandabherunda01 (talk) 04:30, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've added support for P856 (official website), but this template only fetches values that have a reference to something other than Wikipedia. To get values from the IMTEX Wikidata item showing on the article, you'll need to add a reference to each value. Avocadobabygirl (talk) 23:57, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Avocadobabygirl. --Gandabherunda01 (talk) 04:45, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
