The new watchlist labels feature (announced in Tech News 2026-07) is now available via VisualEditor, the source editor, and the 'watchstar' (or watch link, for skins that don't have a star icon). Previously it was only possible to assign labels via EditWatchlist. In all three places it is a new field following the expiry field.

When updating an old CFD nomination with new proposed actions by way of the "old nomination" tab, MassCFD creates a {{Cfm full}} template that links to the current CFD log, rather than the one specified in the "discussion link" field. See for example here, where it links to the nonexistent Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2026 April 1#Characters who use magic categories, when the actual discussion is located at the March 31st log, having been created a few hours prior, before the day changed over. Needless to say, it also neglects to automatically update the existing discussion with additional notes of the newly added proposed actions. This requires manual corrections to resolve, as seen in these edits: , , , , , , silviaASH (inquire within) 01:40, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi Qwerfjkl, A few years ago, you were helpful in completing an AWB task updating a series of pages after Brookfield Office Properties became Brookfield Properties - Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks/Archive 15#Brookfield Properties. Brookfield Properties has now been rebranded as GGP, and I am looking to update the "shopping mall" infoboxes in the articles for about 100 retail properties, listed at List of GGP shopping malls. I have once again listed the request in AWB, you can find it here: Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks#List_of_GGP_Shopping_Malls. Would you mind taking a look and assisting with the update? Thank you, Claudiailagan (talk) 10:29, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
On the page Marginalia (search engine), I decided that the screenshot of the website that used at the time should be in light mode as that is a common default for most software users. I don't have the permissions to overwrite the file for that screenshot, so I uploaded a separate file and used Template:If dark.
Is this use of If dark recommended or not? I ask because I don't really know if that's a standard thing to do or not for software screenshots.
You can see the specifics of what I did at this revision. Should I use screenshot_alt in the infobox template or the alt attribute for each image link? I ask because I'm unsure if the alt is correctly being added to the images since I use a file link in the screenshot parameter as opposed to a filename, and I don't know if the infobox template can add the alt to the image when the image isn't provided as a filename.
And in general, have I done things properly in that revision? Did I make any mistakes? --Newtbytes (talk) 20:31, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I have created some standalone pages regarding Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s notable qawwalis (Dil Pe Zakham Khate Hain, Jani Door Gaye, Man Atkeya Beparwah De Naal, and Yeh Jo Halka Halka Suroor Hai). Unfortunately, they have been flagged that it may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for music. However, I believe they merit standalone coverage when considered in their proper cultural and musical context. These works are not simply routine album tracks but foundational works within the qawwali tradition, with enduring influence and cultural significance, particularly in South Asia. I appreciate that identifying extensive, song-specific secondary sources can be more challenging in this context, as coverage of qawwali often focuses on performers, traditions, or performances rather than isolating individual songs in the way Western music journalism sometimes does. However, this does not necessarily reflect a lack of notability so much as a difference in how the music is historically documented and discussed. Given this, is there anything I can do to prevent the pages from being removed? --Jdavidson012 (talk) 05:44, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
