Significant independence anniversaries
I've just edited Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/September 16 to put Papua New Guinea in rotation for this year, having cleaned up the article. As it is the 50th anniversary rather than just a regular anniversary, would it make sense to put it as its own line item? CMD (talk) 10:16, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
Questions
Hi, I might be interested in helping out with OTD, since it seems there isn't many people doing so. I didn't find the project page super clear, so to make sure, mostly we try to fix maintenance tags on articles so they can be included, and also try to switch the sets each month (but I don't see that happen much)? Thanks & cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 02:42, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:{{re|GoldRomean}} Thanks for reaching out. If you can fix maintenance tags on articles, that would be great! However, there's no obligation to do so. Mostly, OTD set builders rotate the hooks in the template, and make sure the bolded articles in the hook do not have any major maintenance tags and have few uncited statements. When OTD was more active, set builders would try to rotate sets about two weeks ahead of time. Unfortunately, it looks like OTD interest has waned. I'll try to become more active when able, and will try to answer questions if pinged. Z1720 (talk) 12:51, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
