[edit]New page not showing views, but has edits.
[edit]Hi. Can anyone explain any technical reason why several editors have visited my newly created page at Protection Court in order to make edits, yet the page counter still shows 0 views? Also, several links have been made to the page, so there is some indication it has been viewed by more than just those who edited so I'm wondering what the heck is wrong...

- @Huggums537: Page views aren't transferred after moves. There are views at the former title Draft:Protection Court. It takes some time for page views to be registered in page information. It was moved 23 hours ago and the views since then haven't been registered yet. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:30, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Wow. I didn't realize it hasn't even been a full day yet because so much has already been done. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I guess I need to take a Wikibreak... Huggums537 (talk) 01:38, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
Mobile view
[edit]Please fix editing in mobile view on Firefox on F-Droid, it doesn't work with or without JS and I have to use the cringey desktop view. I had to input everything twice because I kept getting the "Request URI too long" message and it would wipe out the content of the editing window when I went back. 46.188.145.191 (talk) 02:49, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi there! I believe Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) would be the best place to ask for assistance with this issue. Good luck! GoingBatty (talk) 03:36, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- This was a software bug, it should be fixed now, see phab:T334797 163.1.15.238 (talk) 12:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Better logo for GitHub article
[edit]i want to replace the current logo in GitHub's article with this one.
this logo is more prominently displayed in their website and app and elsewhere. Pritam Shaw🍀 (💬 • 📝) 03:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Pritam Shaw: You can be bold and make the change by editing the GitHub article, going to the infobox and replacing
|logo=GitHub logo 2013.svgwith|logo=GitHub Invertocat Logo.svgand adding|logo_caption=GitHub Invertocat Logo. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 03:53, 17 April 2023 (UTC)- Are the licenses for Invertocat logo correct? Should I instead of uploading in commons, go for uploading it in Wikipedia as fair use? Pritam Shaw🍀 (💬 • 📝)
- @Pritam Shaw: No, the licenses are not quite correct. From https://github.com/logos, the logos are not free at all (for instance:
Do not modify the permitted GitHub logos, including changing the color, dimensions, or combining with other words or design elements.
is absolutely incompatible with CC-BY-SA). Hence, the Invertocat cannot be uploaded to Commons at all (I see it has been nominated for deletion). A raster graphics version (e.g. png) at low resolution could be uploaded to en-Wikipedia as WP:NFC tagged as{{Non-free logo}}, and then used at the article GitHub (probably not in other articles though). - On the other hand, the GitHub logo consists of the word "GitHub" in a not-too-fancy font, so it is most likely below the threshold of originality in US law. As such, it could be uploaded as public domain (and tagged
{{PD-textlogo}}). TigraanClick here for my talk page ("private" contact) 09:09, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

[edit]I'd like to complain about the content for the above wiki page that contains a high level of disinformation and unproven theories, in fact conspiracy theories. 202.86.32.122 (talk) 04:37, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Issue with the "Torture" Page
[edit]
Courtesy link: Torture
Not a question. The "Torture" page on wikipedia has an innapropriate preview. 97.126.3.16 (talk) 04:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Meaning photo? Then I don't get it. I support Western neoliberalism but it is good to remember that "our side" was not always beyond reproach.
- Thinking that US can do no harm is puerile. tgeorgescu (talk) 05:18, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- TL;DR: Wikipedia is not censored. It is a weird picture, yes, but it's appropriate for the subject. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 08:11, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- @97.126.3.16: The statement at the top of this page — "This page is only for questions about using Wikipedia" — is at odds with your comment "Not a question." If you want to comment on an article's content, do so on its Talk Page, such as Talk:Torture. Bazza (talk) 08:13, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
