Chlod is currently experiencing dysthymia, which may affect his Wikipedia editing in various ways. He may have difficulty with: altered perception when making editorial judgements, determining consensus, or reading Wikipedia discussions addressed to him; reduced availability on Wikipedia during times when he experiences issues; limited capacity to respond to other Wikipedians via talk page or email messages in a timely fashion, to participate in conflict resolution, or to complete his usual workload of Wikipedia tasks. Thank you for your understanding.

DCWC closing update

Two weeks ago, the 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest came to a close! After three months of stiff competition at the top of the leaderboard, we have our winners. vigilantcosmicpenguin (submissions), continuing his work on covering abortion in Africa, comes in third with 692 points. simongraham (submissions) comes in second with 763 points, largely from a slew of good articles about jumping spiders. And returning to the podium for the second year in a row, BeanieFan11 (submissions) takes the Gold Belt Buckle with a mind-boggling 946 points from his series of articles on sportpersons. Congratulations to our winners!

Amazingly, the award for the most countries covered goes to both BeanieFan11 (submissions) and simongraham (submissions), who each submitted articles under 30 flags! BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins for writing the most quality articles (16 good articles). For submitting 16 articles related to El Salvador, PizzaKing13 (submissions) wins the award for most submissions under one country. The award for most submissions related to women goes to both Spookyaki (submissions) (7 biographies about women) and vigilantcosmicpenguin (submissions) (21 related articles). And for the second year, simongraham (submissions) wins for the most reviews, having submitted 21!

Among the participants' contributions were 2 FAs, 5 FLs, 124 GAs, and an uncounted number of DYKs, ITNs, and reviews of every kind! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year, and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

Question from TheMonkeysOnMarsAreGonnaBlowUsAllToBits (19:04, 20 October 2025)

How do I create a citation? --TheMonkeysOnMarsAreGonnaBlowUsAllToBits (talk) 19:04, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TheMonkeysOnMarsAreGonnaBlowUsAllToBits: Please see Help:Referencing for beginners, or Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/2 if you're using the visual editor. Chlod (top • contribs) 01:49, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from TheMonkeysOnMarsAreGonnaBlowUsAllToBits (19:09, 20 October 2025)

How can I remove the woke pride flag on wiki that keeps popping up? --TheMonkeysOnMarsAreGonnaBlowUsAllToBits (talk) 19:09, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TheMonkeysOnMarsAreGonnaBlowUsAllToBits: Can you explain what woke pride flag you're seeing? A woke pride flag doesn't appear on the Wikipedia interface at all unless you're referring to a central notice or a user page. In both cases, the woke pride flag cannot be hidden. You can dismiss central notices, though this isn't assurance that no woke pride flags will appear in the future. Chlod (top • contribs) 01:53, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Chlod! I almost missed your comment in the discussion about track maps and the infoboxes. Do you know how to make it so the track map goes below the satellite image, and to make it collapsable by default? I realize I may have hit the hornet's nest with this discussion, but articles need to be in compliance with the MOS. I'm not the most familiar with infobox templates, which is why I wondered if you had more knowledge on that front, or at least how to do it as a test case? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:32, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: Would something like this work? Chlod (top • contribs) 08:21, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Chlod, your comment above has a Multiline table in list lint error and 2 Self-closed tags lint errors. It would be great if you could edit your posting of 08:21, 24 October 2025 (UTC) to make the lint errors go away, and then you can <s>...</s> this comment. —Anomalocaris (talk) 09:17, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Anomalocaris: Fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out! Chlod (top • contribs) 12:34, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh I like that a lot! I think/hope others could get behind that. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Ahuja.Dhiraj (10:21, 27 October 2025)

Note: Ahuja.Dhiraj's mentor Utopes is away.

Hey Chlod, I need your help in editing the content that I am trying to update on Wikipedia. I am trying to add the source links where the sources are missing ,but I don't know why they are getting reverted. I am trying to add the exact or similar source link to it. --Ahuja.Dhiraj (talk) 10:22, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Ahuja.Dhiraj. Apologies for the late response. Wikipedia requires a minimum level of reliability for sources to be usable on the wiki. Looking at your edits, most of these sources have no indication of reliability and may be considered questionable sources. Please refer to Wikipedia:Reliable sources for guidance on how to identify reliable sources. Chlod (top • contribs) 23:53, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, Chlod. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! — The Earwig (talk) 03:16, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @The Earwig! :D Chlod (top • contribs) 03:19, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Keshav Madh on Samad Mir (10:09, 3 November 2025)

How to remove Flags from Samad Mir. --Keshav Madh (talk) 10:09, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

UserHighlighter.js and temp accounts

With the rollout of temp accounts, the color you're using for pcusr is pretty close to the gray background that is used on temporary accounts. You might want to consider either changing the color for pcusr or adding a non-gray color for temp users. --Ahecht (TALK
