WikiCup 2021 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants,   The Rambling Man and   Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being   Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are   Gog the Mild,   Lee Vilenski,   BennyOnTheLoose,   Amakuru and   Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles.   Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

Your draft article, Draft:Bhutanese name

 

Hello, TryKid. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Bhutanese name".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 18:18, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

{{format linkr}}

re: [1]; not a typo, both templates exist, although provide identical output in this case, but you probably shouldn't change one for the other without being sure of that   Psiĥedelisto (talkcontribs) please always ping! 12:47, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

@Psiĥedelisto:, ah thank you. the reason for the change was that it appeared as a big red "Script error: the function formatLink" doesn't exist" on my phone. checking the Linkr page, there seems to be some problem with the module/function, all examples also appear as "Script error". regards, TryKid[dubiousdiscuss] 12:54, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
@TryKid: Thank you very much for the information, I fixed the template. Nihiltres broke it in this edit: [2]. Reverted by Matthiaspaul in [3], broken again by Nihiltres in [4]. Seems Nihiltres's edits were made without doing a search for modules/templates using the functions they intended to remove, causing the breakage. {{Format linkr}} is a template I wrote so luckily it mostly appears in my work in article/project space, which isn't widespread, but still, procedures for breaking APIs need improvement.
