Good close
Good close at the Talk:Confederate States of America Rfc. Thanks for your willingness to engage in closures in some contentious topic areas, including wars, current events, media, and other areas. Your thoughtful and disinterested closures help the encyclopedia. Mathglot (talk) 16:58, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Mathglot: Thanks for your kind words :) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:33, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Does ProcBot work with template purges?
Hi ProcrastinatingReader, does User:ProcBot/PurgeList2 work with templates, so it'd purge all transclusions of a template? Cheers, 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 20:40, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- @EpicPupper: The bot does, but the page is a little broken. What template do you need purged (if you still need it purged)? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:52, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

- I see. Yeah, it's a bit broken for this variety of template purging, but I will see if a quick variation of the current code will work. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 10:37, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi! Any updates? I saw that you added something to purge it once. Cheers! 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 20:13, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.
