Instructions

edit

Please feel free to report incidents, a complaint about an administrator, or anything you want administrators to be aware of.

Please be aware that these pages aren't the place to bring disputes over content or requests for a mediation between another editor and you — we aren't referees. You are better to talk with that editor by mail or on talk, or ask other editors their opinion on Village pump.

The chief purpose of this page is to allow admins to ask each other for help and/or information, to communicate ideas, and for admin talk to happen.

However, any user of Wikiquote may post here. Admins are not a club of elites, but normal editors with some additional technical abilities. Anyone is free to use it to talk to admins as a group. Please feel free to leave a message.

If you do, please sign and date all contributions, using the Wikiquote special form "~~~~", which translates into a signature and a time stamp automatically.

To request special assistance from an administrator, like deletion, use appropriate pages or tags.

To request assistance from a specific administrator, see [[User talk:Whoever]].

If there is another page which is a more natural location for the discussion of a particular point, please start the discussion there, and only put a short note of the issue, and a link to the relevant location, on this page. Put another way, to the extent possible, discussions are better off held somewhere else, and announced here. This will avoid spreading discussion of one topic over several pages (thereby making them harder to follow), and also reduce the rate of changes to this page.

Author request deletion from IP user

edit

Hello, an IP user has submitted Author request speedy for some article, I declined some of them but I'm not sure is it correct. Could some other sysop review my action? If you believed this should be deleted, feel free to delete. -Lemonaka 06:55, 11 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Requesting AWB access

edit

Purpose of access: Migrating FONT and CENTER tags to modern HTML. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:26, 13 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

This is a globally trusted user who has made thousands of helpful Lint error corrections across several WMF wikis, so I will go ahead and do this. If anyone objects, please let me know. As of two minutes from now,  Y Done @ShakespeareFan00:Justin (koavf)TCM 22:28, 13 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
Task completed. You can now reset access if desired. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 00:24, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
I personally am fine with you keeping it. You're a trusted user. If you don't edit here for an extended period, it could be removed just for security purposes. If another admin wants to actively remove it, go for it. —Justin (koavf)TCM 21:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Category:Film navigational templates

edit

I brought this up once before, but didn't get a lot of traction. I do not understand the value that the studio navigational templates bring. They needlessly clutter up pages with a myriad of links to films created by those studios - but with no other direct relationship to the page on which the template is placed. Secondly, I believe it presents a way around what was deleted years ago - when we had categories for films by studio. See Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Category:Films by studio and Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Animation films by studio categories (as well as discussions: here, here, and here). IMHO, templates for film series provide some good value - but these templates for films by studio do not. I would like to see them all deleted. Any thoughts? ~ UDScott (talk) 12:49, 19 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Some serve no navigation purpose ({{Imagi Animation Studios}}), some are heinous ugly and virtually unreadable ({{Nickelodeon Movies}}), and all of them seem implausible for actual navigation. I can see someone using the subcat Category:Film series navigational templates in real life, but not "Hm, this film studio released a movie, I wonder what other quotations I can read from other movies they released?" —Justin (koavf)TCM 21:06, 19 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Delinted Templates..

edit

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors/night-mode-unaware-background-color?wpNamespaceRestrictions=10&titlecategorysearch=&exactmatch=1&tag=all&template=without

Can someone look-over the sandboxes, I've been making and swap in the versions with the appropriate color:var(--color-base-fixed,#202122); line? Thanks. The aim is to still further reduce this easy to solve issue, most of which is based on specific templates not having been updated fully. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:09, 22 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

All of the currently active VFD nominations need to be closed; some of them are still open two months later. 03isrflo62410 (talk) 22:23, 23 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
