Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

WP:AFC Helper News

edit

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Actinology

edit
 

The article Actinology has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:NOTDICT. There's not much evidence that this term has a great deal of notability past the dictionary definition. Google scholar turns up just a few hits, and none for which this is the primary topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Use of Species list template

edit

Some time ago you made a series of edits like this one, which didn't use {{Species list}} correctly – for example, the species names aren't in italics. Dennis the mennis recently tried to correct the results of such edits, but didn't get it quite right.

For the record, {{Species list}} is used with a list of pairs of parameters: a bare species name and an authority. It automatically italicizes the species name and puts the authority in small text. Thus:

{{Species list|Davus fasciatus|O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1892}} →
  • Davus fasciatus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1892

If you want to link the species name, then use {{Linked species list}}, again with pairs of bare species name plus authority. Thus:

{{Linked species list|Davus fasciatus|O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1892}} →

You can pipe the species name by using {{!}}. Thus:

{{Linked species list|Davus fasciatus{{!}}D. fasciatus|O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1892}} →

It should not be used in any other way. In particular, never put the authority part of the pair in small tags, because this will use double small, which violates accessibility guidelines. Also it doesn't work if you have a distribution following the authority, because this gets put in small font, which is wrong. In such cases, use a bulleted list via * as normal.
