Usage


Start credits line with "Credits:"

I suggest prefixing the credits line with "Credits:", to make it clear what the line's intent is. When the only entry on the line is something like "Map:Unknown", it is not at all clear what that is supposed to mean, i.e., that no one can be credited for creating the map depicted. Example of proposed format:
Credits: Henry Mitchell (illustration), Andrew Shiva (restoration)

@Amakuru: I see the word "credit" appearing more often. That is an improvement. Please consider my suggestion above. Thanks. Jmar67 (talk) 04:34, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Problems raised with today's PotD at main-page errors

The problems don't seem readily fixable by editing the blurb and pulling might be required. And, in an afterthought, it would be useful to be able to ping the PotD co-ordinator(s), but unless I'm missing something they don't currently seem to be identified here?

I believe the coordinator these days is User:Amakuru. The issues are here. Hut 8.5 06:46, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Editnotice

Would it be a good idea to have a group Wikipedia:Editnotice for subpages of Template:POTD protected? Like this:


When editing this, please make the same edit to the unprotected version. A link to the unprotected version of this protected template is at the bottom of this template.

The unprotected version is used for non-administrators to suggest edits. Administrators can then copy the unprotected version to the protected version. So if an unrelated edit is made to the unprotected version after you edit the protected version, and the unprotected version is then copied to the protected version, your edit will be lost unless it is made in both places.


As you probably know, I have often suggested that the problem be solved by having only one version. Non-administrators normally use WP:ERRORS, not the unprotected version. But maybe there is a consensus for Plan B. Art LaPella (talk) 04:10, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
