Question about articles for expansion
Hi all. I noticed that the "more" link in the "Expand New Articles" list links to a stub category that tends to list only a few articles (sometimes no articles at all). I'm honestly a tad confused about how that category is generated, since there are clearly more stubs out there, can anyone help me understand? Afamiglietti (talk) 14:21, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- Afamiglietti: Thanks for bringing this up! I agree that the link isn't helpful, there are two related categories that might be more useful: Category:All stub articles and Category:Stub categories. Not sure which one would be better, maybe the former because it allows someone to find stubs directly? Would be happy to change the category, unless I hear otherwise.

- The former is better.--RekishiEJ (talk) 06:47, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Ordering of village pump pages
I noticed that the ordering of village pump pages under the section "interact more" (policy - proposals - idea lab - tech - misc) is different from the ordering on the village pump page and subpages (policy - technical - proposals - idea lab - misc). Should the ordering be standardised (I see no reason not to) and if so, which order should be adapted? Darylgolden(talk) Ping when replying 13:32, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Inconsistent <head>
In most Wikipedias, the tab title (text in the <head> tag of the HTML document) is the page title plus " - Wikipedia". But some also append " - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" (in the corresponding language) and the German wiki appends " - Wikipedia" (the character is apparently called "dash") instead of the minus sign.
Personally, I think the German variant is the best, but in general it should be consistent across languages. Fabian42 (talk) 09:34, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
Welcomes in different languages
For some reason I keep getting "welcome to Wikipedia" messages on my user page in different languages all the time. I don't want this and I've never edited a single page in these languages. Why do I get the messages and how do I stop this? Fabian42 (talk) 09:38, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- Again! Lithuanian! I also got messages in the Arabic, Latvian, Indonesian, Romanian, Thai and Italian Wikipedia. I only ever edited pages in the German and English Wikipedia, I didn't even change any interwiki links. You can check that on my contributions, for example here. Please, someone make it stop!

- Malay! Soon the problem has to stop anyway, just because there's no more languages left. But really, does someone know what to do to stop this earlier? Fabian42 (talk) 12:18, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

- Not done as you have not requested a change, but I suspect you are in the wrong place, as this page is only to discuss improvements to Wikipedia:Community portal.
If you want to suggest a change, please request this on the talk page of the relevant article in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
Please also cite reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 12:00, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
