At Wikipedia:Tip of the day/December 3 it says set the threshold for stub display in your user Preferences. I searched all of user Pref. and cannot find where to set stub threshold? JoeNMLC (talk) 10:44, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That might be outdated then, as I feel the majority of January 9 is. It mentions iTunes and Windows Media Player, which both have multiple successors. Maybe in the Tip for December 3, that could be removed, and the current tip for January 9 could see mentions of older software replaced.  Xan ✨ talk 07:41, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you go through the tutorial entitled Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/reliable sources" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Introduction_to_referencing_with_VisualEditor/reliable_sources_quiz) and try the quiz, you get 10 questions as to whether a source is or is not "adequately supported by a reliable source." Although each source is complete as far as information, what the quiz directions don't tell you is that to answer questions correctly, you have to go to the online source and not merely look at the information about the source in the question. Otherwise, you'll miss important clues about the reliability of the source in that question and get marked wrong, but not understand why. For example, going to the onlince source could reveal an article writer's lack of professional status even in a widely respected journal that you'd never know about just from looking at the source in the question.

Hello Tipsters,

Just has a thought, there are tips regarding redirects and its creation, and also regarding AfC. Would a tip regarding the AfC/Redirects be useful? If there is support, I am willing to write the draft form of the tip. Please share your thoughts.

Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
