Hey. KiranBOT for some reason keeps doing this. Both links (original and edited) open the same article so I cannot figure out where is the AMP problem. My only thought is that article name and link both include the word "amp", which is not part of the issue that bot tries to fix. – sbaio08:37, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Sbaio: Hi. I fixed that particular instance/URL, and added it to the whitelist. In short, it is an issue with the web-developer of that particular page (I have seen it with many URLs of various websites). Apparently, the developer added the non-amp URL in the html content of the page as canonical, which redirects to the URL with amp in it. So the bot goes through these pages, looks for the "canonical URL", and updates it accordingly. I am not sure why so many websites are doing that. Thank you for pointing out the error, it is appreciated a lot. —usernamekiran (talk)15:07, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, hope you had a nice day. I asked a similar question at the Teahouse, but I would like to ask a mentor as well. So recently I made a edit over at the Qualcomm Wikipedia page. I added a new product line to the products list in the infobox. The product I added was Dragonwing, the Qualcomm chip line for IoT products, Rugged Handhelds, Robotics and other similar industrial products. I checked if there was a article on it, (there being none) and made it a linked piece of text by adding the double square brackets, thinking the text would turn red (like other linked pages that dont have a article yet) and realized that the page got linked to "List of X-Men enemies" instead. I plan on writing the article later (dont think im ready to write something so ambitious yet), but dont want the page to lead to the wrong place in the meanwhile (or get some other person to make it by clicking the red text). Is there a fix? --LeoPysmak (talk) 13:58, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How do i change the file name of an image I have uploaded. I have been doing some research and found out the correct name of the other person in the image and would like to update the file name to reflect that.
@Cult2Culture: Hello. The file you uploaded is on Wikimedia commons, not here on English Wikipedia. You will find the information about renaming that file at c:Commons:File renaming. Also, I am not Ixtal. Strangely, you are second person to refer me as Ixtal on my talkpage. —usernamekiran (talk)04:26, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
