or better consider removing the news section from main page Dokania (talk) 14:09, 5 October 2026 (IST)

@Bharatwiki Socrates and Dokania: Sorry, guys, I wasn't around. When you say the Main Page, do you mean the redesigned one with different cards, sections, a sidebar, etc., or the regular Main Page visible in the Vector skin? The news section on the redesigned Main Page fetches data via API from various pages. To keep it maintained, we would need a separate page, such as Main Page/news, where the news can be updated regularly. The first section and the recent deaths section on the Main Page pull data from 2026 in India, so that page also needs to be kept up to date. Please share your suggestions on how we should manage and maintain these sections. WikiDwarf (talk) 10:51, 7 October 2026 (IST)

@WikiDwarf I posted it two years ago, and now our main page has changed. I think it looks really nice, and I don’t see any issues with it. I’m not sure what @Dokania thinks about it..it’s up to them. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 10:57, 7 October 2026 (IST)

Oh, I use the vector skin, so it's still stuck in oct 2022 for me. Can it also be updated like neoskin? AI can be very helpful in generating latest news for updating sections easily. Dokania (talk) 13:07, 7 October 2026 (IST)

I just noticed that the main page is currently generated using Template:Main Bharatpedia page, which pulls content from various pages and templates, such as Main Page/Introduction, Main Page/Knowledge groups, {{News}}, {{Did you know}}, Main Page/topics and Main Page/languages. To achieve this, we need to maintain and regularly update these pages and templates so that the main page displays the latest information. WikiDwarf (talk) 13:24, 7 October 2026 (IST)

can't it be synchronised like in BPneo skin? Dokania (talk) 13:27, 7 October 2026 (IST)

I need to check if we can create a script to pull data using API. WikiDwarf (talk) 13:31, 7 October 2026 (IST)

@Dokania: Done. I have created a script and module to keep the main page updated automatically. For the Recent News and Recent Deaths sections, please keep 2026 in India updated, and the script will automatically pull the relevant information. If you don't see the changes, please hard-refresh the page or purge the cache, then let me know if it works for you. WikiDwarf (talk) 14:47, 7 October 2026 (IST)

Suggestion for Main Page Updates

Hello,

I appreciate the work being done on Bharatpedia. I would like to suggest keeping the Main Page updated with recent developments in Indian tourism, wildlife conservation, science, and culture. Regular updates can help readers discover current topics and improve the overall experience.

Thank you for your efforts in maintaining the encyclopedia. 122.176.19.181 (talk) 11:43, 21 July 2026 (IST)

Suggestion for Improving Cricket-Related Information

Hello,

I would like to suggest adding and regularly updating information related to cricket and the growing use of Lemonbook digital platform form for following the sport.

Topics such as cricket statistics, tournament formats, match terminology, player records, and how fans access cricket-related information online could be useful for readers, particularly beginners.

Clear and well-sourced cricket content can help readers understand the sport while also making Bharatpedia more useful for people looking for reliable information about cricket.

Thank you for considering the suggestion. Annehathway (talk) 16:44, 5 September 2026 (IST)
