Revising DoubleCheck placement
[edit]From what I gather, DoubleCheck is meant for somewhat advanced editors, and it goes beyond checking for vandalism. I have three primary (related) concerns:
1. DoubleCheck being in the Anti-Vandalism section makes it appear as a specific tool against vandalism, rather than a tool for generally reviewing edits down to source verification. This is exacerbated by:
2. Lack of documentation: The documentation on DoubleCheck is limited and hard to find, especially with regards to how it‘s intended to be used. This further contributes to unclarity.
3. Categorization: The section containing DoubleCheck is marked as being for „intermediate editors“; that would be appropriate if it were a vandalism checker („is this vandalism, yes/no?“), but its intended use seems to go beyond that in terms of scope and complexity.
These are my opinions, largely informed by inference and talking to some people; I‘d love to have a more solid ground to rest my argument on, but there is no documentation (as far as I can tell, maybe I‘m just missing it). Actualcpscm (talk) 01:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
• WikiLoop DoubleCheck no longer functioning
[edit]the tool just displays an application error on launch and has been like this for a long while. So I suggest it should be removed from the page. KaraLG84 (talk) 11:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, Wikipedia:WikiLoop DoubleCheck even has a notice directing people to Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism/Tools instead. I'll replace the link here with that. Mlkj (talk) 11:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Translating an article
[edit]A related topic could be added.
Many Wikipedia pages are quite specialist. Contributing to adding a section for those who are novices in the subject could be valuable. Giving the resources to get started. This would complement the see also pages that support the knowledgable or expert reader.
This doesn’t need foreign language skills. It does need skills that many teachers, trainers or support workers have.
Note, I am a naive Wikipedia editor. I want to encourage Wikipedia to be more accessible, both in their audience and the writers / editors who contribute.
I find there is a lot of material I SHOULD read and understand before making changes, but I get overwhelmed. So far, this means I have mainly contributed to talk pages. CuriousMarkE (talk) 07:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
A new task could be added - "Adding Images"
[edit]It could say, "Take some images with your camera for an article, upload them to Commons, then add them to the related Wikipedia article." Félix An (talk) 04:19, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
Suggestion
[edit]Should a direct link to Special:Recent Changes be included under the Anti-Vandalism – "Do it!" section? 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ♰ 20:53, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- I think that the current links are adequate. Including a link to Special:RecentChanges could lead some to mistakenly believe that everything or the majority of what appears there is suspected vandalism. signed, Rosguill talk 20:55, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Okay. 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ♰ 23:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
