[edit]CAn you tell me how to add citations in Wikipedia? Dhruva Gamerx (talk) 11:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Dhruva Gamerx: I'm sorry, I was offline for some days, so couldn't respond earlier. If you have Visual editor on, you can follow the instructions on Help:VisualEditor#Editing references. If you do not have visual editor available, you can follow the instructions at Help:Footnotes. All the best. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 20:12, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Happy First Edit Day!
[edit]Thank you very much! ❤️ —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 22:56, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I was looking at this page and wondering if you could convert it to the format I've started at Wikipedia:Vital articles/list? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:03, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- @MSGJ: Sure. I'm currently on a journey. I'll do it as soon as I'm back home. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 16:57, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- @MSGJ: See User:CX Zoom/Vital 1-3.json. For 1001 entries, it takes about 80,918 bytes. Since the vital articles list is about 50,000 items long, it won't fit within the 2MiB maximum limit of a page. I suggest that we split the list into 6 separate alphabetical lists: A-D, E-H, I-L, M-P, Q-T, U-Z. Also, I generated the topic names as mentioned at WP:VITAL, and there is sometimes a disconnect between topic names in the master list, and those mentioned in the talk page template. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 11:57, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- This looks great, thanks. What is "basename" for? For levels 4-5 there is also a "subpage" parameter which is sometimes used. Would it improve performance if we have 26 separate lists for each letter of the alphabet? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:07, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- In the master list, some articles were mentioned as
[[Function (mathematics)|Function]]
, so I used"basename": Function
just in case its needed somewhere. Usually used for overriding disambiguation or technical restrictions on title. I think separate lists for each letter would be an improvement, as a simple switch case can direct you to the correct sublist, and then you'd need to parse fewer items to reach the bottom of the list (when needed to). As I said, some articles have a disconnect between their topic names in the master list, and in the talk page. For example, WP:VIT3 mentions Carbohydrate under Science > Chemistry. But its talk page mentions the topic to be "Biology". Looking at the subpage parameter of some pages, it is even more inconsistent. So, I'm not sure what to do there. Maybe someone from vital articles WikiProject can help. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 12:27, 10 November 2023 (UTC)- @MSGJ: since ping not sent. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 12:28, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- No need to ping. Okay, 26 separate lists looks best then. I have posted on WT:VITAL to ask, but I suspect the actual list on the project page is the master copy, so let's go with that unless someone disagrees — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:48, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Question: how do you create pages in JSON format (e.g. Wikipedia:Vital articles/list/A.json) in one edit? And why didn't it happen with Wikipedia:Vital articles/data/A.json?

"Hoax articles"?
[edit]Hello, CX Zoom,
You tagged a lot of Metro Station redirect pages as "Hoaxes" but no admin has touched them all day long and they didn't seem like obvious hoax articles to me so I untagged them. I suggest you do a bundled nomination at WP:RFD where you can present your argument that these are hoaxes along with some evidence that this is true. Speedy deletion is not a deletion process for ambiguity and it also isn't a form of deletion where you can include an explanation. These metro stations may not really exist, I don't know, but they aren't obviously fake. Liz Read! Talk! 06:01, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
