How To Keep Track Of Number Of Views?

Is there a way to monitor the number of views my Wikipedia article receives? Thanks.

Was Kisevalter Nash? On any page, click "View history", then "Pageviews". Note that this is views, not unique visitors. An example:[1] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:16, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Was Kisevalter Nash?, you may like to activate the Newcomer homepage by ticking the box at the bottom of your user profile at Special:Preferences. This adds an extra tab to your UserPage which gives a number of features including a section on pageviews of articles you have recently edited. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:30, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

See your first article. And please be sure to read the part about it being undesirable to create an article about yourself, your organization, etc.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Header Request

It's been over a decade since I was an active Wiki editor. Could someone please insert the following header for me?

• Page: Solanum incanum
• Header: "Bitterball" redirects here. For the Dutch food, see "Bitterballen".

Thanks! 2601:45:403:ABC0:A3E:8BE7:F27:D661 (talk) 18:27, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

 Done, see Special:Diff/1160154897. Thanks for the suggestion. DanCherek (talk) 18:34, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

My books

I’m sorry I asked this question previously but can’t open the reply. I have about 25 saved books I made with book creator. I’m using an iPad mini. I don’t see a navigation icon in the upper right. I have to enter a path or looks like “user/books/index. Would someone just send a live link so I can bookmark it. The last person kind enough to halo was Mr. Hunter.,, Jasbflower (talk) 18:53, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@Jasbflower: You can click "Subpages" at the bottom of your user contributions to get Special:PrefixIndex/User:Jasbflower/. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:26, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Difficulty with edits with templates and other "issues."

Sometimes, website Links can be broken and outdated, along with templates and articles. Whenever you look up anything online, you can run into difficulties. This is NOT the first time I've been threatened with being "blocked," since Graham Pearce ("Graham87") blocked me twice, and I don't know how I got "unblocked" after a shorter period of time the second time it happened. I've complained MANY times about this issue, since I was accused of "causing damages." I did try putting together an account years ago, but that didn't work out, so I gave up.

IF there are outdated issues with templates and those with these { } symbols, do I just report it directly to you so you can fix it? 2600:8805:9017:EE00:34C7:861D:D188:FCDD (talk) 21:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

You edit mainly on Judaism, adding or replacing external links, which can be easily seen as violating neutral-point-of-view. One external link may be more biased than another. I would avoid something like religion, and instead on a more agreeable topic. I haven't seen any template modifications in your edits so far. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 22:43, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi there! Whenever you make an edit to an article, you should explain WHY you're making the edit in the edit summary - see WP:Edit summary for more details. Sometimes even good faith edits are reverted. When that happens, you may follow the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle and post on the article's talk page. This is an opportunity for you to explain why you think a change to an article is valuable (in more detail that would fit in an edit summary), and allow you to work with other editors to come to a consensus. Hope this helps, and happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 02:37, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Notification Deletion

Hello Wikipedia! I did some edits on a recent event page and I apparently accidentally allowed myself to receive notifications about the topic, which resulted in my email and Wikipedia notification tab to be flooded. I got rid of the emails but I can’t get rid of those edit notifications, is there any way to do so? Kybrion (talk) 22:57, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

You may choose what you get emails about in your account preferences. 331dot (talk) 23:35, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@Kybrion: You may have subscribed to a discussion. Look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the section heading of the discussion, or at Special:TopicSubscriptions. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:25, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

In reply to both comments , the problem isn’t that I don’t know how to stop receiving them; I have already done that. The problem is specifically with my Wikipedia notifications; I have stopped from more from coming in, but I can’t delete the hundreds of notifications I already have received in the Wikipedia inbox (unlike my email which I was able to delete). There were other important notifications that I received during or before that and I now have to flip back alot to find them. So, I was wondering, out of convenience sake, is there was a way to delete the notifications I have already received? Thanks! Kybrion (talk) 02:49, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
