Talk:Main Page#DYK censored.3F

The Greek Wikipedia currently includes 253,138 articles. However, it is still not listed under the 250,000+ category. Could someone move it up?

:Just a heads-up, but this talk page is only for the English Wikipedia's main page (en.wikipedia.org). The wikipedia.org portal itself is managed by Wikimedia on Meta-Wiki. Requests for changes to the Wikimedia portals need to be done through Wikimedia's [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/ Phabricator] Leventio (talk) 19:45, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

::This was referring to the English Wikipedia Main Page. I have [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikipedia_languages&diff=prev&oldid=1292219307 updated it] as requested. The portal at https://www.wikipedia.org/ splits the languages differently (by powers of 10) so Greek is in the correct place there already. the wub "?!" 20:44, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Are we planning to alter the logo for the 7 millionth, as we have done in the past? JayCubby 15:13, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:It doesn't look like this was planned out at Wikipedia talk:Seven million articles. We've been strongly cautioned to not use onwiki hacks to change the logo, so this would need to be requested upstream using the guidance in :meta:Logo#Temporary_logo_variants. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:28, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::We could however quickly add {{tl|Main Page banner}}, as we did for 6MM. Anyone got a comment on that? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:31, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:::After Wikipedia:Seven million articles is properly updated of course. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:32, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:::I would have no objections to that. The logo testing tool appears to be [https://logo-test.toolforge.org/test?wiki=en.wikipedia.org&logo=File:Wikipedia%207%20Million%20autotrace.svg&useskin=timeless broken], though. JayCubby 16:02, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::::That's not a show-stopper. To open a site request, you will need to point to a community consensus discussion though. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:08, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Less than 200 to go. We should hit 7M in five-ish hours. Are we going to wait four weeks for a VPPR discussion to finish? JayCubby 01:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

• Place your bets on how quickly our 7 millionth article will be sent to AFD. Seriously… milestones are nice and all, but let’s focus on quality over quantity folks. Blueboar (talk) 16:25, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I think this sentence does not seem reasonable:

{{tqb|117,937 active editors 7,000,660 articles in English}}

Even though

{{tqb|7,000,660 articles in English}}

we may seem reasonable, but

{{tqb|117,937 active editors in English}}

is completely semantically wrong. We don't have editors in a "English language", instead we have editors in "English Wikipedia".

So, after adding the phrase "117,937 active editors", I really propose to modify the hyperlink of "English" word from "English language" to "English Wikipedia". Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 07:34, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Hooman Mallahzadeh I don't think that's meant to be read as a complete sentence, but rather something like 117,937 active editors; 7,000,660 articles in English, though I do support linking "editors" to Wikipedia community or something similar.

::@CanonNi We have "117,937 active editors" in "English Wikipedia community", not "Wikipedia community", and this does not have any article, we only have article for English Wikipedia.

::I think because they are in the same line, they may be read as a single sentence and this frequently happens. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 07:44, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

:::There is a dot between the two stats, it is not a single sentence. CMD (talk) 08:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

::::@Chipmunkdavis I think the statistics "117,937 active editors" needs "verb and adverb" or a "reduced only adverb" to be a complete sentence. Do you agree? The reader may ask:

::::*Where we have "117,937 active editors"?

::::It implies "English Wikipedia" which is the same as the object on next statistics. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 08:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::I would agree it is not a complete sentence, but I don't think it is trying to be a complete sentence. I think if balance is the issue, removing "in English" would be an easier solution than adding something to balance, although there has been some support for keeping a link to the language of this encyclopaedia on the main page. This is also done at :es:Wikipedia:Portada. :de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite does similarly but in a sentence without a wikilink (you may have to view that page logged out). :fr:Wikipédia:Accueil principal does more what you are perhaps looking for, placing both stats in the same context. CMD (talk) 09:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::I propose to use a complete sentence. That is instead of:

::::::{{tqb|{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}} active editors . {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles in English}}

::::::we can use this sentence:

::::::{{tqb|{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}} active editors working on {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles in English.}}

::::::Without changing the hyperlink and with a dot at the end of the sentence.

::::::I think this way (using a full sentence) is more meaningful. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 14:52, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Now that even 2010 Vector has language link dropdown menu, I don't think there's a need to limit the amount of language links to 50. Every other page on Wikipedia lets the language links come from Wikidata. --Minilammas (talk) 10:45, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
