Twitter has changed quite significantly since these links were originally put in place, and it seems time to think about getting rid of them. Daniel Mietchen (talk) 10:35, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Support It would be best avoiding Twitter/X. Yann (talk) 10:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Support I really don't see a need. Let's just avoid X. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:52, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me. I would suggest replacing it with a link to the fedi-share tool, to promote sharing on the Fediverse. Legoktm (talk) 04:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Avoid Twitter/X. --Aristeas (talk) 08:25, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Support let's remove these. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo on “Media Of The Day” Needs to be corrected.

“Warntag nation wide test alarm in Germany via Cell Broadcast, schedulued to start at 11:00 but starting a few seconds early”. “Schedulued” should be corrected to “Scheduled”. Vivbyte (talk) 13:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate arguments in template calls

The following arguments of Main Page Template are duplicated and only the last values are used:

  • Announcement Title
  • Announcement Text

-- ato (talk) 12:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because there are apparently two announcements? One of the WLA and the other WLF, and WLF appears at the last, so its values are used. ─ Aafī (talk) 14:20, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. And the Main Page landed in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls, below Category:Pages with incorrect template usage. -- ato (talk) 11:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthere: FYI. ─ Aafī (talk) 11:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
noted... thanks Anthere (talk) 21:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ato 01, Sorted now. WLF ended on March 31, and I have removed the announcement stuff from main page. ─ Aafī (talk) 17:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo at "Media of the day"

"situaded" should be "situated". Maproom (talk) 21:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Thanks for the fix. —RP88 (talk) 21:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Panorama photography on Nigerian related articles

Hello all, we would like to announce a program we intend carry focusing on panorama Photography on Nigerian related, seeing that many articles in Nigerian settings lack panorama images we planned to go on photo walk to snap some of this images to bridge the gap of panorama images in Nigerian related articles,see the category here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Nigerian_Panorama_Images where Nigerian Panorama are very few, so please leave us a message, feedback, recommendation,and suggestion to help us achieve the goal. Thank you. Sadauki11 (talk) 22:39, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sadauki11: This is the wrong place for this message. You should post it on the Village Pump. Yann (talk) 23:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Wikifunctions to the sister project's list

Hi all! Is it possible to add Wikifunctions to the list of sister projects? Thanks in advance! Sannita (WMF) (talk) 14:11, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Support I looked into implementing this, but it seems to be a rabbit hole of many nested templates. Perhaps @AntiCompositeNumber: could implement it, since it looks like they set up the system? It seems logical to replace mediawiki with wikifunctions to keep a 4x3 array of links. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding recently promoted quality images?

At Commons:Quality Images we have around 100 photos being promoted every day: could we highlight these on the main page? I can set up a bot script that will auto-update a list of selected images to show, perhaps on an hourly basis, and I've set up a demo of how it could look like at User:Mike Peel/Main Page. Thoughts? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 09:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Support This is a great idea, Mike. One thing I miss in Commons is to make great images more relevant and visible, so we can attract more photographers. I would add a link to the Quality Images section, so people know that this exists. Theklan (talk) 09:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
