I do not review drafts or newly created pages for payment. I never have. I do not possess any special permissions - technical or procedural - that would allow me to guarantee the outcome of any article or draft.
Legitimate reviewers at Articles for Creation and New Page Patrol are volunteers and will never ask for payment to get a draft into the main site, improve a draft, restore a deleted article, or mark an article as indexable by search engines. If someone contacts you with such an offer, it is a scam. To report it, send a copy of the email, including headers, to paid-en-wpwikipedia.org.
Hello there! I am curious which tools you use that are available within Wiki settings. I don't want to select every option and have my interface confused. Which gadgets are the most helpful for you?
Thanks! --Possiblegermany (talk) 17:38, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia, Possiblegermany! This is a fairly difficult question to answer, as there are a lot of gadgets, and a lot of it has to do with what part of Wikipedia to edit interests you. Going down my gadgets list...
Navigation popups: - Hovering over an article link, such as Emma Watson, gives a blurb without having to click the link itself.
Open external links in a new tab or window - Links that lead outside of Wikipedia automatically open in a new browser tab.
Reference Tooltips - Hovering your cursor over a citation will give you a blurb of the citation, rather than being forced to click it and going to the bottom of the page.
Display watchlist notices - Many on-wiki activities, such as when editors request administrator privileges, are advertised on your watchlist at the very top, since for many people it's a page that's visited often. I'd advise turning this on if it isn't by default.
Add a clock to the personal toolbar - Aside from the clock being somewhat useful (considering it's in UTC), if you click it, it will reset the cache for Wikipedia, which is useful in circumstances where clearing the cache is necessary for some thing you are working on or looking at to update in your browser window when refreshing isn't cutting it.
MoreMenu - A handy script that lets you have a dropdown which displays a lot more useful information about a page. For users, it'll let you quickly see their blocks, their statistics, and for articles lets you easily navigate to things like their protection log and such.
