Kia ora Sophie, greetings from the other side of the ditch. Regarding the prep promotion copy-and-paste error, it seems that you aren’t using WP:PSHAW for promotion to prep. Personally, I’d never want to have to do a manual promotion again because this tool is so convenient. Have you tried it? Super-straightforward to install and easy to use. And it would certainly prevent copy-and-paste errors. Schwede66 17:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Schwede66}}, no I haven't tried it yet as I wasn't sure how easy it would be to use when I've been doing manual promotions (on and off) for years. I'll have to install and have a play around with it. 97198 (talk) 11:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

The European Destubathon

You are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes, including prizes for 5 different entities of the UK and Ireland, which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge/20,000 Challenge for UK and Ireland entries. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:57, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

    it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.
