Poorly worded or wrong interface message for Special link to non-existent user subpage Following a link to a non-existent user subpage such as User:Mathglot/Sandbox gives the right top-of-page boilerplate message, apparently based on MediaWiki:Newarticletext , with some modifications to add strings like, "Before starting this page, please see m:Sub pages" absent from the basic message. So far, so good. However, when a link is generated by a Special, such as (for me), Special:MyPage/Sandbox [blue always] to the same non-existent user subpage, clicking it should result in the same top-of-page boilerplate, but it does not. Instead, I see this: [but see note] Wikipedia does not yet have a user page with this name. If you are Mathglot/Sandbox , click start this page . To contact Mathglot/Sandbox , go to User talk:Mathglot/Sandbox . I don't believe Simple allows usernames with a slash character as part of the name, so this message is misleading at the very least. It apparently derives from MediaWiki:Noarticletext NS User , but either it is not adjusted properly to emit an appropriate message, or it is the wrong interface message entirely. Instead, I would emit something like this:

Wikipedia does not yet have a user subpage with this name. Click start this page to create it. To contact Mathglot about creating their [uses magic word ] sandbox, go to User talk:Mathglot . Note: if you already have a Sandbox subpage, the link above will not demonstrate the bad behavior to you, so you can use these links instead to observe it: Special:MyPage/Sandbox-999 , Special:MyPage/Any old name here .

Hello, i was wondering to myself on why the SEW has less user groups than on the English Wikipedia? Like why we don't have interface admins, extended confirmed users and other user groups that are only found on the English Wikipedia? - Wikipedian2025 ( talk ) 11:34, 23 August 2026 (UTC) Reply Review request for Ans Ishfaq draft An article with this name was deleted in 2022 under QD G11. New coverage has since been published, including a two-page front-page feature in the Daily Times Chronicle in August 2026. I have written a new, shorter draft using the newer sources. Could an uninvolved editor review it and determine whether it is suitable for publication? The draft is here: User:Payore1100/sandbox Thank you.

However, the edit triggered the abuse filter with the message “New editor deleting large parts of an article.” Could someone please clarify why the filter was triggered? I wasn't intentionally deleting content; I was reverting the page to an earlier version. DHIRAJDHONA ( talk ) 20:24, 27 August 2026 (UTC) Reply Wikipedia administration
