This is the place to ask any questions you have about the Simple English Wikipedia. Any general discussions or anything of community interest is also appropriate here.
You might also find an answer on Wikipedia:Useful, a listing of helpful pages.

Please add new topics to the bottom of this page. Please note that old discussions on this page are archived periodically. If you do not find a discussion here, please look in the archives. Note that you should not change the archives, so if something that has been archived needs discussing, please start a new discussion on this page. Some of the language used on this page can be complicated. This is because it is used by editors to talk to one another, so sometimes we forget.

Mentioned in media
[change source]I put an en-WP press template on a talkpage, Talk:Heartbound (video game), but maybe that was a bad idea. Is there a local version? Gr?bergs Gr?a S?ng (talk) 09:22, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Gr?bergs Gr?a S?ng: A local version of the template? Yes, you used it on the talk page. However, I have removed that press notice because the link to the Sports Illustrated site doesn't seem to work. -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:07, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
- Doh! Yes of course the template was "local" since it worked, sorry! The "mentioned by a media organization:" redlink confused me.
- Yeah, the article seems to be gone now, and I can't find an archived version, oh well. Gr?bergs Gr?a S?ng (talk) 04:45, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
English Wikipedia discussion about styling
[change source]On English Wikipedia I have started a discussion about Simple Wikipedia having distinct styling. Sorry if this is the wrong place to note this. Commander Keane (talk) 23:42, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
- The styling developed over time, and likely it isn't easy to change. Also,being different from another Wikipedia is likely not a sufficient reason to change. Eptalon (talk) 05:12, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- Have fun discussing over there. It's pretty much like the Italian WP discusses changes for the German one. If you want something changed, you need to discuss this with the local community and not with a different one. -Barras talk 08:59, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- My apologies, I should have started the discussion here then. Or maybe Meta. I don't intend to continue the enwiki discussion.
- The mobile/minerva logo header has changed over time? It looks just like the English, German, Afrikaans, (...) versions. Of course in those editions when you start reading, the language difference is apparent.
- It must confuse others apart from me.
- Admittedly, changing the styling is not easy but I thought I would at least mention it somewhere. Commander Keane (talk) 10:04, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- Before anything is done, I again want to point out: The fact that one language wikipedia is too similar to another language version is not enough to force people to change the markup, or the logo, or anything. So, unless you have other arguments, I don't think there is much we can discuss here. Eptalon (talk) 16:42, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2025/Great Firewall. However, accessory is very similar. Yilangderen (talk) 00:30, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- There’s no reason to bring this here when discussion can occur at the RFD. CountryANDWestern (talk) 00:34, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Of course there is a reason to bring this here. By the way, would someone please read Wikipedia:Requested pages and try to write the wanted pages being requested there, thanks a lot. Wikipedia:Requested_pages#G I did put a "Great Firewall of China" request there. Yilangderen (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- I should not be silenced, because I am just writing the truth honestly. Yilangderen (talk) 02:50, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- I have rewritten the page, as a stub, but left the RfD tag there. While Great Firewall likely refers to the thing done in China, I am sure there are other states that likely use saimilar technologies. Eptalon (talk) 09:00, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
Filmography
[change source]Have we ever decided on a word to use instead of this? First thought is "movieography" but that really doesn't fit the bill. --Ferien (talk | join TBA!) 15:15, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- "List of movies"? Ravensfire (talk) 15:37, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- I would suggest "Media". MrMeAndMrMeTalk 15:40, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Both seem like good ideas. Thanks both! --Ferien (talk | join TBA!) 20:30, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Ferien Category:Filmographies and the word "filmography" is used pretty often. Do you think SEWP should change instances of this word? MrMeAndMrMeTalk 16:03, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- Media might be too broad. I think "List of movies" makes the most sense for simpleWP. -Barras talk 16:07, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- +1 to the list of movies. BRP ever 16:13, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- Sometimes these filmographies can also include different things, like Television, Music videos, Video games etc, hence why I think Media may be ok. Although in most cases it'd just be movies. "List of works" might be appropriate for those cases where different things are included? --Ferien (talk | join TBA!) 16:48, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- I agree. There is not really a risk of too much broadness in this case. MrMeAndMrMeTalk 17:49, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- I agree as well. BRP ever 08:34, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- How about just "movies"? In context, it is obviously "the movies in which the subject of this article has worked or performed." Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:15, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- "Movies" and "Television" and "Video games" could be different categories. They don't have to have one supercategory over them. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:15, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think it's a good idea to have five separate == headers == if someone was in or produced multiple types of media. MrMeAndMrMeTalk 02:02, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Anastasia Kobesh & Ruslan Saberov
[change source]Hello! I am the author of many Wikipedia articles. I do not agree with the fact that the article about the side project was deleted due to bypassing the lock. Please give me the opportunity to write a draft, or better yet, an article right away. I completely rewrote it. Please pay attention to this. Anastasia Kobesh & Ruslan Saberov Bronza495 (talk) 02:34, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
Union Jack
[change source]I am requested to move to Union Jack from "Flag of the United Kingdom", which is recently merged last June on English Wikipedia. Absolutiva (talk) 03:29, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
Hairy Maclary and Friends - additional input requested
[change source]Could neutral users please share thoughts at Talk:Hairy Maclary and Friends? A user and IP have added information that I believe constitutes original research. Rather than continue an edit war, I am requesting additional views to help determine a consensus. CountryANDWestern (talk) 05:24, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
