Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

PLEASE STOP

...adding interwikis to templates. You are placing them outside the <noinclude>...</noinclude> sections, meaning that every page using the template has the interwiki link added in the sidebar. Please stop and revert your additions. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 16:24, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

@Edokter: I know, I'll back later to add noinclude. Please wait some minutes.--M777 (talk) 16:28, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

No, stop now! This is quite disruptive. Interwikis are deprecated anyway and you cannot rely on bots. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 16:29, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I've reverted three or four of these, but I'll be rolling back the rest to save time. Alakzi (talk) 16:33, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

@Edokter and Alakzi: Ok, I've stopped. What about re-adding arz interwikis inside <noinclude>...</noinclude> sections?--M777 (talk) 16:39, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

You should be adding them to Wikidata; no bot will copy them over. Alakzi (talk) 16:40, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

(ec) Interwikis should be added on WikiData, not here. Nor should they be added here for a bot to be moved. Ask on Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) to see if there are more efficient ways for adding links in volume to WikiData. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 16:43, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

@Edokter and Alakzi: What I'm talking about is to put arz interwikis here temporarily and bots, such as Addbot, will migrate them to wikidata. I see no other technical way to add all these interwikis to Wikidata in a good way.--M777 ^✉ 16:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Then ask on the page I linked to. This is definitely not the way. I don't even know iof we have such a bot. Don't asume one exists. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 17:13, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
