Hi all, there's a discussion ongoing at Talk:2020 Canadian pipeline and railway protests#Two articles or one? about the need to broaden the scope of that article, and the particular need to rename it. It would be great to get some broader participation in the discussion. Thanks! James Hyett (talk) 20:19, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

School wiki pages

Sorry if this is the wrong place; a lot of enrollment numbers in infoboxes for BC schools are outdated/inaccurate - e.g. Princess Margaret Secondary states 1500, but according to the bc gov. site, its currently ~500. I don't really know what to do about this issue so I'm posting here if anyone has any ideas. :) Highfire1 (talk) 23:15, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
