I was wondering; should the other parameters ofTemplate:ANI-notice andTemplate:AN-notice be pointed out in the header? Specifically the|thread= parameter might be useful to make it more obvious to editors what the thread they are being notified of is called.45dogs (they/them)(talk page)23:30, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it would save having to guess or ctrl+f what one might be involved in.—Fortuna,imperatrix12:21, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've boldlyadded the parameter. It doesn't affect ANI, which is unfortunate, though I'm not sure how to change that.45dogs (they/them)(talk page)13:05, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well45dogs, it doesn't seem to have bricked anything (yet)  :) But can't the ANI one be done as well? I thought they'd be more or less the same thing?—Fortuna,imperatrix18:36, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fortuna imperatrix mundi, it doesn't seem so. AN's template is translcuded with{{Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Header}}, while ANI's is with{{/Header}}. I believe a separate template would need to be made for ANI.45dogs (they/them)(talk page)20:47, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I found it just by typing inWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Header. Don't know why that I didn't figure to do that before, but the parameter has been added.45dogs (they/them)(talk page)21:08, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, all.

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1205#Pattern of LLM edits on contentious topics contains an actual citation template with a relevant OCLC error. This is causing the archive to populate intoCategory:CS1 errors: OCLC, which is configured to ignore "/Archive#" subpages but not "/IncidentArchive#." Is there a way to stub out the category, so that we don't perpetually have a OCLC error floating around in the category? ~Matthewrb^{Get in touch ·Breadcrumbs}07:04, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing archives to remove errors is ok (if there really is a benefit). I fixed that indiff.Johnuniq (talk)07:29, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I figured so, I just wasn't sure the best way to go about it. I realize that a<nowiki> would make the most sense...

Thank you for taking care of it! ~Matthewrb^{Get in touch ·Breadcrumbs}07:51, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts @Sdkb: Disagreeing with the revert atWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Header, we've already had a lot of spurious reports atWP:ANI andWP:AN and this notice could really be helpful. Also open to changing the example to ~2025-12345-67 to be easier for the pattern-matching eye.ChaoticEnby (talk ·contribs)20:37, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me. Maybe what we really need is another talk page blast and another watchlist notice.voorts (talk/contributions)20:38, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The format change is fine with me. I think we should keep this up for the near future until people stop posting about this here. It's distracting to have every five topics be "these look like socks to me because they have the same name format".voorts (talk/contributions)20:39, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the wording, I was agreeing with your addition of the notice and disagreeing with Sdkb's revert!ChaoticEnby (talk ·contribs)20:39, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I was unclear. I disagree with the revert too. The notice should remain up here and at ANI.voorts (talk/contributions)20:39, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be fine with re-adding it iff we enclose it in{{Show by}} so that the notice is auto-removed, say, a month from now, and doesn't stick around forever. This is a problem now because of the transition, but (unless I'm missing something) I don't think it'll be a problem once we get used to temporary accounts.Sdkb ^talk20:44, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Voorts - do a talk page/watchlist message.GiantSnowman20:47, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Show by would be fine. Maybe another 2 months?voorts (talk/contributions)20:49, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copying my revert message in case it's helpful:This feels likeinstruction bloat to me. Experienced editors will all be familiar with temp accounts shortly. And while they might show up here more than the average spot, there's still no intrinsic connection — if they need further explanation then they need it in a more general spot.Sdkb ^talk20:46, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
