Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Userpage DISPLAYTITLE colors

Hey, @Paul2520. Just coming over with a suggestion to make the light gray and the yellow in your display title to a darker color as it’s practically unseeable on a white background, which is the standard background for Wikipedia. Thanks, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 16:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion, Cowboygilbert! Yeah the yellow was particularly harsh. How do the updated colors look? = paul2520 💬 16:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good, the grey could be darker but I can at least see it now so you don’t have to change unless you really want to. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 16:15, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful where you put webarchive template

Your edit of 17:54, 13 January 2025 (UTC) of SATB inserted a {{Webarchive}} template at "[HERE]" in

Hi Anomalocaris. Thanks for your message. That was a semi-automated edit using InternetArchiveBot & I'm guessing something about the <nowiki> tags may have thrown the tool off.
I'll try and keep an eye for situations like this going forward, but am tagging cyberpower678 (IABot dev) for visibility. = paul2520 💬 20:09, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
