Way to create U.S. Presidential Election Maps
Hello. I've noticed that there is no page for the 2000 Delaware Caucuses and decided to make one. I would like to know if there is a resource to make the maps used in Wikipedia Election pages. I would greatly appreciate it. Iidrlais (talk) 22:37, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- I see you're from English Wikipedia and that you're new. I'll post some helpful info at your EnWiki talk page. Alsee (talk) 08:00, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Language
Generally, Wikipedia pages with multiple language versions are displayed as "114 languages", but some pages with multiple language versions are displayed as "Add languages". Why is that? This post was machine translated.--Kikikiki.aka (talk) 08:51, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- Certain newly created or translated articles have not been linked to the corresponding group of the same subject through the multi-lingual platform of Wikidata yet, sometimes even displayed as an orphan article with no link for cross reference, therefore the option is always present on both sides, open to add or to be added with other new language versions.
- Since this is a Wikimedia forum for its related administrative or technical reports across platforms, if having a question or inquiry for the local Wikipedia language branch next time, please feel free to apply to the specified project discussion pages (such as Wikipedia talk:Village pump in Englsih for example)... or the referred article's Talk page to receive more appropriate assistance. Have a great day. Mickie-Mickie (talk) 12:53, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Buttons at Main page of srwiki, mobile
Could you make, as assist for other language project, buttons that leads to full articles and other pages from Main page at srwiki appear fully or actually not appear at all in mobile view? I would like to see properly displayed page as an ordinary reader.
Currently, I see lower part and two upward-curved small parts of it at mobile view (at desktop mobile view, I see misplaced buttons, such as 'Остали догађаји'). Editors there have been informed at help page that there is wrong output in mobile view for more than seven days and there was no response (maybe tech knowledge is the issue). The button is leading where supposed but mw-ui-button does not work properly i.e. fully at mobile view — as I see what the issue is (also, there are some classes or styles such Mediawiki quiet or nomobile that are not working properly) after other meanwhile improvements they made. I see a clearly visible button near bottom of that Main page that is imported by Mediawiki from recent time ('Језик'), so it would probably be desirable that added nomobile class after six mw-ui-buttons would be a solution, preventing completely output of the button to evade confusion and repeating similar visual elements (I think of 'Језик' button).

- Technical reply: I would kindly ask you to refrain from pinging users on multiple projects for the same topic (since you already did that here). It can be considered as spam. Thank you. – Aca (talk) 22:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- OK. And it would be nice if buttons at desktop view float somehow near bottom of a topic container, not sticked below container content. --5.43.66.110 (talk); 22:42, 2025-05-07 (UTC)
- srwiki has many interface admins - so ask them on that project. Also, please stop using odd signature markup, it is disruptive to the reply layout. — xaosflux Talk 23:09, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
@Vipz: You might be interested, I did not ping you among others upthere. @Xaosflux: I've already seen that and chose those who might be interested. Sorry but no. Autogenerated signature is of loose incorrect format: username (talk) time, date /very non-validly simplified/; instead of: username (talk); time, currently only valid date format yyyy-mm-dd for English because days and years are ordinal and months uncapitalized in truth). Semi-colon is for larger stop, date format already explained. --5.43.66.110 (talk); 23:24, 2025-05-07 (UTC) [e]

I just returned to working on this project on Wikispore, and I would like more feedback on it since it was hard to distinguish from vandalism when I tried to clean it up on Wikipedia. Faster than Thunder (talk) 19:08, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Magick and Science
Hi Metawikipedians.
I’m here to gauge interest on a Wikipedia article idea of mine, or to see if it has already been created under a different name. I think an article that talks about scientific exploration of magick and occultism could be useful; there are pages about magick but they don’t really contain scientific exploration of the subjects.
so im curious if anyone else would like to see this article. Polkol777 (talk) 14:21, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- This may be better asked at a particular edition of Wikipedia. Since it seems like you are a native English speaker, you may want to ask at that project, such as at w:en:WP:TEAHOUSE. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:32, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- thank you! Polkol777 (talk) 18:02, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- And just to be clear, I'm not a member of that community, so I can't speak to what the reception would be like there, etc. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you in other Wikimedia Foundation wikis than that one. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:55, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
