Talk:Main Page#Windows 7 in the News.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?

Thanks! Goombario64 (talk) 12:46, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

: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)

:::::Why does this have to be a complete sentence? It's just a display of two numbers and their units for quick reference. Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 02:29, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::I think, in the current style, the reference of "in English" is both editors and articles. This way, we should use "English Wikipedia" as hyperlink for "in English" to correct semantic of the line.

::::::But if we want to keep "English language" as hyperlink, we must correct the relationship by a verb. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 03:37, 30 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)
