Concern regarding Draft:M'Baku (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Hello, BD2412. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:M'Baku (Marvel Cinematic Universe), a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 03:07, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Frank Ely Atwood has an article, so do with the draft what you will. Roast (talk) 20:34, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

@Guerreroast: This looks fairly complete, but I would caution that Political Graveyard has long been deemed unreliable as a source. You should find a better source for anything cited to that. BD2412 T 21:53, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

AfC August Backlog Drive: Only ten days left!

Our pending drafts!

Hi BD2412, thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation August Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 3000 drafts already. We have around 1300 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in the next 10 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to help make it happen – if everyone who signed up to the drive reviewed just 1–2 drafts a day for the next ten days, we'd be down to zero in no time! A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest, or you can find a random submission here. Thank you so much for your work so far, and happy reviewing! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:20, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

New pages patrol September 2026 Backlog drive

September 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 September 2026, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin at a particularly important time for NPP. The backlog has now passed 30,000 unreviewed articles, a level that has been described in current NPP discussions as exceptionally high and potentially difficult to overcome through normal reviewing alone. Backlog drives are one of the few measures that have historically produced a noticeable reduction in the backlog, so the participation of as many active patrollers as possible will matter this month. If you can review during September, please make articles your priority. Every article that is reviewed is a meaningful reduction in the backlog. With the queue at its current size, even a relatively small increase in the number of articles each patroller reviews can add up to a substantial difference over the course of the month. This is a hybrid drive, so redirect reviewing is still included. Redirects can be a useful way for newer patrollers to get comfortable with NPP and can help people build up to reviewing articles. However, the main goal of this drive is to tackle the article backlog, and experienced patrollers are particularly encouraged to spend as much of their available reviewing time on articles as they can. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. If you have been thinking about doing more NPP, this is an especially good month to jump in. Whether you can review a few pages or hundreds, every review helps. And if you are already an active patroller, please consider whether you can put in some additional time during September to help bring the backlog back under control. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
You're receiving this message because you are a new page patroller. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Assistance with talk page behaviour

Good Evening,

I am reaching out as you are a recently active administrator.

I have been given a final warning on my talk page, which I believe wholely unjustified and considering my over decade long experience of thousands of edits.

You may not be in a position to action anything, but I would be grateful for any advice as I feel this is bullying behaviour towards me, and tarnishes my reputation. Best Wishes Telfordbuck (talk) 23:35, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

@Telfordbuck: Per Wikipedia:Solicited administrator actions, I do not engage in disputes by request, to avoid the appearance of bias. If you are concerned about the warning, I would suggest engaging at WP:ANI, in accordance with the procedures there. BD2412 T 00:04, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Template move issues

Front page is broken

Just thought I'd let you know that "Page Template:Hlist/styles.css has no content." is all over the front page ~2026-41404-95 (talk) 00:38, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

It's mostly fixed now except for one part that says "Page Template:Horizontal list/styles.css has no content." ~2026-41404-95 (talk) 00:44, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Template:Hlist/styles.css broke everything?

The entire main page and more is given a template error because Hlist/styles.css was moved. Is there a way to move the template without everything breaking? GGOTCC 00:39, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Seconding this. This error message is also showing up at the bottom of every single contribution page. Can you please self-revert, or insert a redirect? The error messages can't be showing up on all these pages. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 00:41, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

@GGOTCC: I moved the .css page back. Did that fix it? BD2412 T 00:42, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Yes! But Creating Template:Horizontal list/styles.css has no content and is also throwing an error GGOTCC 00:43, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

This has also just been resolved. Thanks! GGOTCC 00:44, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Yes, everything seems to be back to normal now. Many thanks. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 00:44, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Honestly baffling how an "administrator" can act so carelessly...--Coco (talk) 00:47, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

I'm sure that it was just a simple error. But it's all resolved now. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 00:50, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Problem with Template:Hlist/styles.css

Hello! It seems the move you performed of the Hlist styles CSS has broken the main page. It now displays errors of Page Template:Hlist/styles.css has no content. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 00:41, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

You affected a lot of pages

When I go to special pages such as the revision history of an article, I get this message: Page Template:Hlist/styles.css has no content. Why is it? Slackintosh (talk) 00:40, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Never mind, I see this recovered. Slackintosh (talk) 00:43, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Plip!

All in good fun. Enjoy the minnow, I hear it's tasty. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 00:52, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

There it is. BD2412 T 00:53, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Who requested the move for Template:Hlist.css

I saw that you moved Template:Hlist.css to Template:Horizontal list/styles.css because of WP:RM, or due to a requested move. May I ask who requested the move? (Also, please try to leave a redirect if you want to move a page again) ZImperator (talk) (contrib) 00:50, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

@ZImperator: See Template talk:Horizontal list#Requested move 3 August 2026. The requesting editor was User:FaviFake, followed by a lengthy discussion resulting in a reasonably clear consensus for the moves proposed therein. BD2412 T 00:53, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

@BD2412 - this has broken a number of pages, for example Surface Duo. Ed (talk) 01:00, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

@Ed6767: Surface Duo looks normal to me now. For some pages the fix may just need a few minutes to propagate. BD2412 T 01:06, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

It is all good for me. Have you refreshed the webpage? GGOTCC 01:19, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

That page looks fine to me, but I am still seeing glitches on some other pages (Westside Whimsy, for example). ~2026-41404-95 (talk) 01:27, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-41404-95 I made a blank edit and that fixed it. As this point, it is a matter of each article's chase being cleared over time. GGOTCC 01:30, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

		The Destroyer of the Wiki Barnstar
		OH MY GOD WHAT DID YOU DO THERE'S MONKEYS AND FISH EVERYWHERE SOMEONE HELP

You gave me quite the moment of realization when I opened an article and saw an error message about the Hlist template's css having no content.

Hmm, wasn't there a long overdue RM on that needing to be closed.. hmm, didn't I just see two notifs in my inbox of BD2412 closing some other overdue RMs.. hmm, didn't some folks in that RM mention something about CSS and it not being so simple to change.. oh.. oh no..

Although I do realize that your moment of realization must have hit with way more force than mine did. Good on you for fixing it quickly though, else you just might have ended up in the village stocks! –Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 02:15, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

I will say, that's a new barnstar for me. BD2412 T 02:21, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Transclusion backend implications

The recent template edit(s) have created a queue of work for our jobrunners, which is impacting our service health. Please hold off on any major template changes while everything goes back to equilibrium. RKemper (WMF) (talk) 03:59, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Moving related templates

Template:Endplainlist and Template:Endflatlist may need attention once you have digested your trout and the dust has settled from the giant mushroom cloud. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:19, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

I moved the preceding templates in accordance with the outcome of a move request. I would not do so on my own initiative. BD2412 T 17:25, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

God, I can't believe I missed those two! FaviFake (talk) 18:02, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Elise By Olsen

Hi, can you remove the article history of Elise By Olsen from before 1 April 2025? I created this as a new draft. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 03:50, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

@Thriley: In my experience, we do not remove previous history merely because content on the same subject has been drafted anew. BD2412 T 14:15, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

I thought that was usually the case. Without deleting the previous history of this article, a COI editor is getting credit for its creation. Thriley (talk) 14:56, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Generally not unless there is copyvio or BLPvio content or the like. BD2412 T

BeyGood article

Hello! I noticed that you originally created the BeyGOOD article. I’m currently working on updating it, as there are several tags on the page that need addressing. I’ve put together a draft in my Sandbox, which I’m still refining.

Since you were the initial creator, I’d really appreciate your input and feedback. I’ve tried to keep the structure straightforward, but please feel free to point out anything you think could be improved or clarified.

Thanks — I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Koppite1 (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

@Koppite1: I did not create the article; I merely created a redirect to Beyoncé at that title. However, I will be glad to have a look at the draft in the next day or two. I have, as it happens, written a few articles on celebrity philanthropy. BD2412 T 15:40, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

Admittedly, I’ve kept the draft fairly skeletal, as I’m not great with detailed expansion. Any suggestions for improvement would be more than welcome Thanks. Koppite1 (talk) 16:03, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

My initial impression is that there are an awful lot of overly short sections. We prefer not to have single-line sections, so it is better to organize content more broadly. The relevant articles that I have written, Philanthropy of Michael Jackson and Philanthropy and advocacy of Dolly Parton, may serve as models. BD2412 T 16:21, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I've tried to take on board your feedback and have reduced the number of short sections...and have tried to organise things more broadly. Can i ask you to take another look? I will also message a few of the most recent editors on the article to see if they want to contribute with any suggestions. Your feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

Earl history

Hi BD2412! Hope you are doing well. I was hoping you would restore the history under the article Henry Earl (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)? I had requested a refund at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/Archive 424#Henry Earl, and you wisely told me to wait until the article was a blue link before requesting its restoration. (I know the article is currently a short stub; I plan to improve it further.) Thank you in advance :) Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:49, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster: This has been done. Cheers! BD2412 T 21:36, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

Not intended to start any drama btw, this just needs to be figured out and I think its better to do it in a more open forum where others can also help out. ‑‑gurkubondinn 21:28, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

No worries, I have replied in the discussion. BD2412 T 21:34, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
