Crossword

There's a mistake in the crossword, I think. If 9D is "deleted", it leaves 9A as "ene", rather than the correct answer "end". I'm not sure what happened, but you may want to look into it. - SchroCat (talk) 17:35, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Re your edit summary

Re this edit summary of yours ↗: titles in Wiktionary are case-sensitive on the first letter because, for example, wikt:polish ↗ is different from wikt:Polish ↗. You probably noticed the auto-redirect feature to compensate for this but it's a bit annoying. If you really want to read about the history of capitalisation in the English Wiktionary, see wikt:Wiktionary:Capitalization transition ↗ from 2005. Graham87 (talk) 03:29, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted ↗, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it ↗ again or request ↗ that it be moved to your userspace.

May 17

Hi Bri, I wanted to ask for your opinion regarding a repeated issue involving article creation from draft content.

It appears that articles such as Miss Earth 2026 ↗, Mister Supranational 2026 ↗, and Miss Eco International 2026 ↗ were created by copying and pasting content from existing draft pages into mainspace before the drafts were fully developed. ''(Draft ME 2026 ↗, Draft Mr.S 2026 ↗, and MEI 2026 ↗).''

Since this seems to be happening repeatedly, I am concerned about the draft process and proper attribution/history preservation. Could you please take a look or advise on the best course of action?

Thank you. RaSriAiem (talk) 15:12, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
:{{ping|RaSriAiem}} I'd advise asking an administrator to check if it really was recreated from a deleted version. I can't do that as I am not an administrator and can't see deleted articles. If they say it was, you have to options. If deletion was by consensus, you can alert any administrator, especially the one who deleted the article. You could also mark it WP:G4 ↗ (use the {{tl|db-g4}} template), and wait for an administrator to find it. If it was re-created but has new content or you decide it should not be deleted, '''or''' if it was draftified then cut-paste moved to article space ↗, you can just mark it for WP:History merge ↗ following the instructions. This last option is the one that preserves page history and authorship attribution. ☆ <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">Bri</span> (talk) 17:02, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
