25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Wikishovel. An article that you recently made, :Sunshine FM Potiskum ↗, seemed to be generated using a large language model ↗ (an "AI chatbot ↗" or another application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia ↗, and output must be carefully checked. In particular, you should check each citation, and fictitious references ↗ must be removed. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.{{PAGENAME}} ↗<!-- Template:uw-create-ai1 --> Wikishovel (talk) 10:42, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to A.D. Rufa'i College of Education, Legal and General Studies ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Mccapra (talk) 19:11, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Sandbox


25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, Mr. Snatch, I'm Bearcat. Please note that pages in your personal sandbox, such as User:Mr. Snatch/sandbox, are '''not''' allowed to be categorized alongside finished articles in mainspace, per WP:USERNOCAT ↗. The page ''must'' stay ''out'' of any categories so long as it is outside mainspace, and this is ''not'' an optional rule that you're free to disregard or ignore.

You can provisionally list categories in your draft without affecting content categories by using one of the methods described here ↗.

As the page has had to be pulled out of categories three times in the past month and another time back in January, ''do not'' readd it to categories again, because draft and sandbox pages are not allowed to be in content categories. Note as well that there can be consequences for disruption ↗ if it doesn't stop, such as page protection ↗ or deletion ↗ and/or the temporary or permanent suspension ↗ of your editing privileges.<!-- Template:Uw-draftnocat --> Bearcat (talk) 19:27, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

:@Bearcat Thank you very much for your message and for pointing this out clearly. I sincerely appreciate your guidance regarding WP and the categorization rules for sandbox and draft pages.
:I understand now that my sandbox page must not be included in content categories while it remains outside the mainspace, and I acknowledge that this is a mandatory rule. I apologize for repeatedly adding categories in the past, and for any inconvenience or disruption this may have caused.
:Going forward, I will ensure that no categories are added to my sandbox or draft pages. I will also make use of the appropriate methods for listing categories provisionally where necessary. Mr. Snatch (talk) 05:24, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Binta Dada ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you.<!-- User:Zackmann08/uw/Unknown-params-warning --> '''<span style="color:#00d5ff !important">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94 !important">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange !important">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 17:30, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
