List empty for over a week?

[edit]

No Wanted categories. Has someone been very busy or is something not working correctly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Traveler100 (talkcontribs) 17:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I give feedback on Special:PageAssessments??

[edit]

On most special pages, there is a link to a talk page, but not on that page. LibraryGeek (talk) 06:35, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it's time for a generalized search/list function.

[edit]

May I call your attention to my recent post at Wikipedia talk:Special:ListRedirects I think it's time we implement a generalized search/list function with the ability to select/deselect namespaces, properties, etc. We have a number of special-purpose pages that don't allow you to combine searches and have generally outlived their usefulness. Thoughts and suggestions are most welcome. LibraryGeek (talk) 06:39, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LibraryGeek special pages are a function of mediawiki core, a single wiki can oly translate the interfaces. You have to open a task on phab--Pierpao (talk) 10:49, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Special:MergeHistory

[edit]

I'm not quite sure where to request help for this, so I guess if it's the wrong location feel free to move it to the better one and ping me.

When using Special:MergeHistory, I find my only main annoyance is that after merging, well, nothing can be done. Unlike rollack, which returns to the page, or the RD/OS menus, which just refresh to show the previous page with updates, the "done" screen of the merge tool just says X revisions of A were merged into B. Would it be possible to include a link to Special:MergeHistory below that message, maybe with a note saying "perform another merge" or something? I guess I'm just annoyed that when I have to run multiple merges at once, I have to open up that many windows (or re-type that part of the URL).

Special:History

[edit]

Is there any particular reason why Special:History is not documented on this page? It seems to work OK, even if the output format is a little unfamiliar. Example. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:59, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it's designed for mobile users; most prople who write the help pages are desktop users. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:36, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Special:SuffixIndex?

[edit]

Hi! I wanted to ask: just as there is a special page Special:PrefixIndex, is there an equivalent for pages with a last specific word? Many thanks in advance. NoonIcarus (talk) 00:36, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NoonIcarus: Special:SpecialPages#mw-specialpagesgroup-pages suggests not. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 17:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Redrose64: I understand. It's a pity, but thank you for letting me know. Kind regards, --NoonIcarus (talk) 17:29, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
