Welcome, newcomers and baffled oldtimers! This is the place if you (a) have a question about Wikiquote and how it works or (b) a suggestion for improving Wikiquote. Just click the link above "create a new topic", and then you can place your submission at the bottom of the list, and someone will attempt to answer it for you. (If you have a question about who said what, go to the reference desk instead.)
Before asking a question, check if it's answered by the Wikiquote:FAQ or other pages linked from Wikiquote:Help. Latest news on the project would be available at Wikiquote:Community portal and Wikiquote:Announcements.
Before answering a newcomer's question abruptly, consider rereading Please do not bite the newcomers.
Questions and answers will not remain on this page indefinitely (otherwise it would very soon become too long to be editable). After a period of time with no further activity, information will be moved to other relevant sections of Wikiquote, (such as the FAQ pages) or placed in one of the village pump archives if it is of general interest, or deleted. Please consider dating and titling your discussions so as to facilitate this.

Automatic talk page archival
editHi all, is it possible to configure the automatic archival of old discussion threads (say after 3 months of inactivity) similarly to Wikipedia, and what's the best/recommended way of doing so? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've looked around and not found anything obvious. Gawaon (talk) 08:54, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- There are a few pages that are automatically archived by a bot, such as Wikiquote:Vandalism in progress. Note the code at the beginning:
- {{User:MABot/config
- |archive = Wikiquote:Vandalism in progress/Archive/%(counter)d
- |algo = old(10d)
- |counter = 15
- |maxarchivesize = 300K
- |minthreadsleft = 2
- |archiveheader =
- |minthreadstoarchive = 1
- }}
- Which tells the bot when and how to archive that page. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 13:16, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- I see, thank you. Gawaon (talk) 17:12, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.
editHello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Android app for Wikiquote
editHi, is there an Android app for Wikiquote? How does it work? I have been advised that there is no infrastructure for push notifications for Android apps for sister wikis and I would be interested to know more. Related: phab:T378545. Thanks! Gryllida (talk) 23:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
Vandalism in SheSaid Article
editI just spotted racist, sexist and antisemitic vandalism in SheSaid (Version: https://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiquote:SheSaid&oldid=3611712).
I reverted it to the previous edit, is there anything I can do to report the user? MoPaMo (talk) 09:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- I've blocked the user and hidden the edit summary and edits made. Although reporting it here is fine, you can also use Wikiquote:Vandalism in progress as a place to report vandalism. Thanks for reporting it! ~ UDScott (talk) 14:55, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
Containment
editHello, community. I have posted a few tentative guidelines for dealing with controversial material at Talk:Controversial Reddit communities. You are welcome to review them, and offer feedback. BurningLibrary (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
What is up with this page, it seems like it doesn't meet notability guidelines. CensoredScribe (talk) 17:05, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- It's in the Wikiquote namespace and shouldn't be categorized with standard entries. Thanks for mentioning it here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:10, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
