How will the CRW approach April Fool's day?

Hi, April Fool's day is next month and I don't want to initiate a discussion too late, so how would we approach it? My idea is 1) no jokes in articles, no exceptions and 2) clearly mark all jokes when they occur (I've made Template:April fools for this purpose).

If my science textbook in school gave me a QR code that ends up rickrolling me I think I'll spend longer than 1 day being distracted about it... lol

In my opinion they should be contained within user pages and other types of pages the common person never visits, like having it as an extra link under Wiki policy or something. It would be really bad if someone in power happens to see it the one day they get told to visit a page on the wiki. Just my two cents... but then again I'm pretty biased against the day anyway Raster (talk) 06:56, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't even think we should have it under a link on Wiki policy, just silently add it with thr correct template the correct people internally will see it via recent changes. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 07:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't think we will be doing one this year. JamesTDG (talk) 07:29, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Was there one last year? I don't think there was. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 07:36, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

There definitely wasn't. JamesTDG (talk) 08:29, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I've deleted the template. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Might be worth undeleting it... Louis came up with an idea for an April Fools, based on that Norwegian enshittification video from the other day. Basic concept is to enshittify the wiki (maybe just the main page, and with an off button, of course) for a day. I fully agree with no jokes in articles - that's just a pain to keep track of and undo, and could damage credibility if done without good taste. Keith (talk) 10:33, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

I have had my ideas, but I'll keep them secret for now. I'll undelete it. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 15:54, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

we could prob use the trollface as the wiki logo at least JamesTDG (talk) 04:21, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Special:SearchDigest

I've been creating a few articles on here, but everyone else PLEASE DO THE SAME! It tells us what articles readers want! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:17, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Idea - Question place

A place for new editors to get help from more experienced editors (doesn't even have to be mods) to help them with editing the CRW. I think this'd help as currently there's only this and the Bugs noticeboard. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 17:18, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

I would appreciate this very much as a new editor Andrew V (talk) 02:51, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't know if this is new but there is a FAQ page. Andrew V (talk) 02:55, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

That isn't new and that was one of my first contributions helping out there when I was a new editor, but it isn't ideal in its current state for issues not listed there. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:03, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Downloadable zim file

Can the wiki be downloaded offline through a zim file similar to wikipedia? Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj (talk) 01:18, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Not similar to Wikipedia I don't think, but we have a github repo that is open source (https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/crw). @JakeL can probably provide better info than me AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:14, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

I think it could be convenient to some people who have zim file libraries I’ve seen a lot of other wikis on the kiwix library page Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj (talk) 07:53, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

The backend team (JakeL and Unto) can do that. I've already pinged JakeL here so they will see this. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 07:58, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

We don't currently offer anything officially, although you could look into using https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner to generate your own, in combination with Kiwix. JakeL (talk) 23:11, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

That seems like an interesting tool, though I do think that an official file should be looked into as a future project Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj (talk) 23:46, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Tagging as incomplete AND stubs

Hello. I've noticed a lot of incomplete and stub both being used at the same time, which takes up lots of space. I haven't removed this, but I think it's quite excessive. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:04, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Duplicate page for "Autodesk Fusion EOL"

It looks like the page Autodesk Fusion360 EOL on Intel based macOS systems running open core legacy has been replaced by Autodesk Fusion EOL on Intel based MacOS systems running OpenCore legacy. The former is incomplete, while the latter has more content and is complete. Search and Projects:Archive everything#The list bring up both. Should the former be deleted or changed to a redirect (and removed from The List)? I'm not sure which and don't have the privileges to do either. (I put a Discussion note but dunno if that pings anyone.) ... Posting here since I don't know where to ask, and so I'll know in the future. Thanks! Marc84 (talk) 01:21, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, please use Template:MergeRequest in the future. I'll change this now. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

I've redirected it to Autodesk Fusion EOL on Intel based MacOS systems running OpenCore legacy and will remove it from the list now. Also, on the pinging, you can ping people by typing a link to their userpage. For example, typing User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson pings me, and User:Marc84 pings you. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 17:29, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the info and merging the pages. Marc84 (talk) 19:38, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Remove deletion notice apple macos

I have added a lot of info and references to Apple macOS so I think it could be marked as a stub or incomplete rather than deletion Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj (talk) 01:21, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 17:24, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Appeal Request

Hello! The article Advertising overload is marked as incomplete and as relying on AI/LLMs. I believe I've addressed the original intent of both of these, though the bottom section (Advertising overload#Notable Examples) is still a stub. I think the AI status notice should be removed, and the Incomplete notice should be replaced with a Stub notice.

Cheers! Scholar Silas (talk) 05:52, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done including completely removing both notices, not marking it as a stub. The article overall is very long, and if a section is all to complain about on a very long article, then it's definitely not a stub. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:02, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Who gets superconfirmed first?

Hello, starting this discussion since the new superconfirmed usergroup has been added and we need to figure out who to give it to first. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 22:07, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Just tested it on User:AnotherConsumerRightsAlt; why can't it undelete pages? AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 22:14, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
