Proposals to change the election rules may now be added throughout the year and discussed on the talk page; formal discussion remains in September.
• Following an RfC, first-time reviewers’ reviews require an experienced reviewer’s check, and GA requirements now include alt text and accessible tables. Featured articles may receive GA status during removal discussions if they meet GA criteria. Backlog drives will run every five months, with a points leaderboard and awards for the top five participants.

Broken module

You might want to either quickly fix or revert this edit to Module:Military navigation. Any page using this is now rendering with a Lua error on line 46, which is what you just added. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:26, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

@Deacon Vorbis Strange, it passed all my testcases. I reverted it for now, but can you give me an example of a page where you saw this error? I checked a handful of live pages that transcluded it and couldn't find any that weren't working. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:29, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

It was showing up on a page that transcluded Template:October 7 attacks (where it showed up directly). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:32, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

@Deacon Vorbis Thanks, I'll look into that. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:34, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't know this stuff well enough to know if the change revealed something broken in that, or it was the change itself, I guess. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:33, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

@Deacon Vorbis Looks like that was exactly the case. Template:October 7 attacks included | main as if it were directly invoking a Lua module even though it wasn't. The old module ignored it, the new one didn't. I'll fix that. --Ahecht (TALK

United States invasion of Panama was just showing a big red Lua error at the top. – wbm1058 (talk) 16:38, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

@Deacon Vorbis, Wbm1058: It should be fixed now. The module can now handle those edge cases better. --Ahecht (TALK
