Question from Amandaplemmons on Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (20:54, 26 July 2024)
[edit]Where do I fill application out . I believe I do have one relative on the Baker roll --Amandaplemmons (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Please note that Wikipedians like me usually know much more about policies than actual, useful knowledge ;). Please try the Wikipedia:Reference desk next time.However, after a quick Bing (they give you points for searching) search, you have https://ebci.com/enrollment/.

Question from ProfessorMaccaroon on User:Isabelle Belato (15:54, 27 July 2024)
[edit]So do all member of wiki like Isabelle Belato delete peoples pages. Or is making a page about the history of jelly and ice cream against Wikipedias goals of global information on all topics? --ProfessorMaccaroon (talk) 15:54, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! It probably is. There are two things Wikipedians hate most: promotional content and a lack of sources. People usually care much more about the latter: if an article doesn't have many WP:reliable sources, its content may as well be made up. Meanwhile, a lack of secondary sources and an abundance of primary sources could indicate promotional content. These are the primary reasons Wikipedia:Notability exists.
Waqar has sent you a bunch of useful links, including Wikipedia's tutorial "Your first article". I think it would be really helpful if you read it! Cheers, Aaron Liu (talk) 21:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-32
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
Two new parser functions will be available this week:
{{#dir}}
and{{#bcp47}}
. These will reduce the need forTemplate:Dir
andTemplate:BCP47
on Commons and allow us to drop 100 million rows from the "what links here" database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [1][2]- Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
- The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.
Project updates
- Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
The new parser is being rolled out on Wikivoyage wikis over the next few months. The English Wikivoyage and Hebrew Wikivoyage were switched to Parsoid last week. For more information, see Parsoid/Parser Unification.
