Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 21:21, 13 January 2026 (UTC)<!--Template:WelcomeMenu-->

January 2026



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi PerfectionisticOCD! I noticed that you recently made an edit&#32;at :Simon Russell Beale ↗ and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit ↗" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typo ↗s or reverting obvious vandalism ↗. Any edit that changes the <em>meaning</em> of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-minor --> BlueboyLINY (talk) 18:02, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗. I noticed that your recent edit to :Ian McKellen on screen and stage ↗ did not have an edit summary ↗. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary ↗, or by discussion on the talk page ↗. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief ↗.

The edit summary field looks like this:
{{Edit summary field/OOUI}}

or in the visual editor:
{{Edit summary field/VisualEditor}}

{{strong|Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.}} When logged in to your Wikipedia account ↗, you can give yourself a reminder by setting {{myprefs|3|check={{int:tog-forceeditsummary}}}}, and then click the "{{int:saveprefs}}" button.
Thanks!{{sp}}<!-- Template:uw-editsummary --> <span style="color:#c56030;background:inherit;">lp0&nbsp;on&nbsp;fire</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#64cea0;background:inherit">()</span> 13:49, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

:: Hey PerfectionisticOCD. I am joining my voice to those of @User:lp0 on fire and @User:BlueboyLINY to request that you provide edit summaries for any edits you make other than very minor edit ↗s. The edit you recently made on ''Mother Jones (magazine) ↗'' (that edit here ↗) is nowhere close to minor. Since you've been asked before but are still struggling in this area, do you have any questions, thoughts, or concerns about that that you'd like to share? Novellasyes (talk) 19:21, 13 February 2026 (UTC)
:::Hey Novellasyes. I suppose I am still struggling with the pretentious idea of self-importance that one may feel when given freedom and attention of this kind. I will, however, do my best to leave informative and helpful summaries for my edits in the future. I sincerely apologise for my sullenness and express my deepest gratitude for your support!

CS1 error on Democratic Party (United States) ↗


25px|alt=|link= ↗ Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have '''automatically detected''' that this edit ↗ performed by you, on the page :Democratic Party (United States) ↗, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted.

Not Broken



Please do not "fix" links from redirects to be direct links. As per MOS:NOTBROKEN ↗ these are perfectly fine, and sometimes exist for good reason as more specific articles may be created in the future. Thank you. <b style="color: Blue;">Canterbury Tail</b> <i style="color: Blue;">talk</i> 14:53, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Easter egg links



Please do not add hidden links that refer to a different page like you did here ↗, creating an easter egg link. Keep piped links as intuitive as possible. Per the principle of least astonishment, make sure that the reader knows what to expect when following a link. See MOS:EASTEREGG ↗. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 14:53, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Suggestions for England



Under media add:

The BBC offers a range of regional services tailored to the specific needs of various areas (such as BBC Yorkshire ↗), alongside its educational and cultural services.https://www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/resources/documents/consultations/uncategorised/93904-ofcom-and-the-bbc/bbc-audiences-england.pdf?v=322758 ↗ Other major television networks include ITV ↗, Channel 4 ↗, and Sky ↗. The country has a large creative industry ↗, with numerous television shows being produced by English television companies ↗.https://www.ep.com/blog-beyond-london-the-spread-of-the-uk-production-industry/ ↗ 2A0A:EF40:F57:CD01:C07F:281E:FD86:5A36 ↗ (talk) 22:25, 1 August 2025 (UTC) &#126;2026-20513-63 ↗ (talk) 03:06, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

:I think some of the images on the page are a bit messy. They don't line up well with text on desktop. Might be worth changing some images around to make it more tidy. &#126;2026-20513-63 ↗ (talk) 03:08, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

May 2026



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at :Kate Bush ↗. Your edits appear to be disruptive ↗ and have been or will be reverted ↗.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges ↗. ''Please avoid adding pointless text to articles. It amounts to clutter which becomes disruptive.''<!-- Template:uw-disruptive2 --> Roger 8 Roger (talk) 02:40, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Dates on maintenance tags



Hello. I've undone changes you made to the dates on maintenance templates at Stage (theatre) ↗ and Séamus Ennis ↗. Updating the date to June 2026 in both cases defeats the purpose of that parameter on those tags.

There ''is'' a sort of maintenance template that's permanent and it meant to encourage people to review and article every so often to ensure that it remains compliant. These include date maintenance tags like {{tlx|Use DMY dates}} and English variety tags like {{tlx|Use British English}}. With those, when a user has given the article a compliance review and fixed any instances of non-compliance, the user updates the tag to show that the article was most recently found or brought into compliance in the current month.

Other maintenance tags, like {{tlx|more citations needed}}, flag articles, sections, or bits of text that have problems ''now'' and need attention from someone. In those cases, the original date never changes. It serves as a sign of how long the article has needed attention. These tags put the articles into hidden categories such as, in the case of the ones you edited, :Category:Articles needing additional references from August 2012 ↗ and :Category:Articles needing additional references from October 2022 ↗. For people interested in fixing issue for which articles have been tagged, these enable the person to articles that were tagged longest ago and attend to them first.

Don't ever wikilink a date



Hi PerfectionisticOCD, please do not ever wikilink a date, as you did here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ian_Charleson&diff=prev&oldid=1363465719 ↗. I have now fixed the problem. Softlavender (talk) 10:33, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
