Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are
semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible
templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only
administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been
blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
Use the
main sandbox or
create your own personal sandbox to experiment.
How do I create an article?
See
how to create your first article, then use the
Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A
WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See
this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.
Need to talk about your recent edits. What is the point of changing “Delhi sultanate victory” to “Delhi” victory? You already admitted that it doesn’t benefit the articles. If that’s the case, then there is no reason to be making this change. The purpose of an edit is to improve an article which this doesn’t do.
There’s no point in shortening it to “Delhi victory”. You’ve given zero reasons for this. Someguywhosbored ( talk) 09:37, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I’m not sure why the full part of the message isn’t showing up in the edit summary, so I’ll show it here.
- “Parts of my message didn’t get fully sent so I decided to rewrite my edit summary because this is important.
- Normally I would wait until the discussion in the talk page clears to avoid the 4th revert rule, but this seems to be a form of vandalism. Reverting vandalism is an exception to the edit warring rule. Quote from the vandalism page.
- “Removing encyclopedic content without any reason, or replacing such content with nonsense.” There is no legitimate reason for removing “sultanate” from victory section in the infobox. It’s not even cluttered so shortening it doesn’t make the page look better.
- If for whatever reason I made a mistake and this is not a form of vandalism, then anyone can feel free to let me know and I’ll revert my own edit. My concerns would still stand though. If you disagree Malik, then please respond to me on your talk page to find a resolution and avoid any edit warring.”

- It’s for these reasons that I added the term “sultanate” back. Again, if you disagree, you’re free to use the talk page. Avoids edit warring that way. But please provide legitimate reasons for your changes so your position can be considered. Someguywhosbored ( talk) 08:25, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
