Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be an idea if you add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 08:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Spambots
Can you please check the recent bots on this wiki and global block their IPs etc? Thanks. Mentifisto (discuss • contribs) 03:25, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, ignore me, I see you're not a local checkuser... Mentifisto (discuss • contribs) 03:27, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Administrator
Thank you for volunteering, there's enough support to close your RFA as successful. Good luck! QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 16:26, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You are very welcome and thanks for admitting me to adminship. I will do my best as a cultural bridge between East Asia (speaking Mandarin natively and basic Korean) and the West (speaking nearly advance French and near-intermediate French), which is how I am known as an administrator on English Wikisource.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 04:58, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Book categories
Suggestion: When moving a pre-existing book category to add the   prefix, if the category page doesn't use book category header, it probably should, as that template provides a standardized, fairly detailed category-page message. (Also, many of those older pages use for the "book name", which doesn't work right once one adds the   prefix.)

(I noticed you'd moved a few, Láadan and Ido and Ecology, which puzzles me since I thought I'd already done all the book categories in those parts of the alphabet.) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 03:18, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought keeping book categories and non-book categories for Ido and Ecology redundant. If breaking up is absolutely needed, be bold as long as not reckless.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 03:23, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't quite follow what you mean. Atm we have two main kinds of categories, book categories that should start with the   prefix, and subject categories that start with the   prefix.  That's most of our categories; there are some miscellaneous others.  Eventually we plan to have some other categories that can be used for individual pages of books (because subjects are only for entire books), which will use some other prefix but we haven't settled what that is going to be.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 03:39, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Feel free to revert my re-categorization if desirable. My always hating edit wars is the key for me to be an administrator on 13 wikis. De-populating Special:WantedCategories is better.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 04:04, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll keep that in mind; thanks for the perspective. I dislike such things too.  (I'm an admin on two wikis; can't imagine coping with 13.)  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 05:34, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I have admin flags on 13 wikis after so many years. Now in addition to Category:Book:Ecology do we need "Category:Ecology" or "Category:Subject:Ecology"?--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 20:58, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, first of all, I've replaced the header text of Category:Book:Ecology with book category header. Note that the old text had a red-link for the book main page, because it mistakenly thought the book title was "Book:Ecology".  (That particular difficulty could have been fixed by replacing  with {{ROOTBOOKNAME}}; the message provided by book category header is also more detailed, though.) I see you've also got category Category:Pinyin/Ecology under :; but this isn't so.  That Pinyin thing clearly isn't part of the book Ecology.  As I've been slowly reforming the project's categories, I've put as little work as I could into the Pinyin stuff, because my general sense is that the entire Pinyin hierarchy is something of a blot on the project, ignoring the nature of the project &mdash; I suspect there's stuff there that belongs in a dictionary, or on a news site, perhaps in an encyclopedia, thus poaching on the territory of sisters Wiktionary, Wikinews, Wikipedia &mdash; and I'm highly suspicious of both copyright and neutrality, as well.  I suspect that the entire Pinyin hierarchy has been created with flagrant disregard for the identity of the project and either major parts of it or perhaps the whole thing really ought to be deleted wholesale, making it a bad investment of labor to be rearranging its categories more than necessary; but meanwhile, Category:Pinyin/Ecology clearly doesn't belong as a subcategory of :.  It ought to be a subcategory of :, however problematic that book category is. [And I see that it is in that book category; good; it just doesn't belong in :.] There is no subject Ecology.  Do we have multiple books that would go in it, and what would be its one or two parent subjects?  If we do have multiple books to go in it, and know what one or two parents to put it under, we could create it. The other question would be whether we ought to have a category for pages-as-well-as-books that are related to ecology.  However, despite a scattering of false starts, we don't have an infrastructure for categories like that.  There is, in fact, a whole bunch of fundamental stuff we should work out before we starting trying to provide an infrastructure for such things.  So we're not ready yet.  The first step, before we could do it, though, was to rename the subject categories and book categories so we'd have any hope of keeping it all straight, and I've spent something like the past year and a half doing that.  I hope to finish with my individual processing of the book categories soon.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 01:13, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * As your thoughts to categorize is much better than mine, just be bold as long as not reckless.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 03:03, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Infiltrator II
Hi, I noticed you have created a new book. Don’t forget to add  so that it will appear in the correct completion status in the shelf. -Gifnk dlm 2020 If only Middle English Wikipedia could be saved (talk) 09:15, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)
