User talk:Merajul Islam

Hello, {{subst:PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Bharatpedia! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{subst:PAGENAME}}|your contributions]]. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. We are working hard to make this one of the most popular websites in the world, and it's only possible through the contributions of editors like you. This website is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. The real fun here is contributing to Bharatpedia, but don't feel hurt if some of your first few edits get removed, as there are some central guidelines you may not be familiar with.

Some good advice: be bold in your editing, and use the talk pages to discuss with other editors. Be kind to others, because there's a lot you can learn from them, and there's lots they can help you with.

There's lots of resources to help you become a great editor, from our basic introduction to our in-depth manual. But if you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page. Oh, and please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. Again, welcome!

This page is for the announcement of milestones on the Wikimedia projects. If you want to make such an announcement, please post it here and translate it if you can.

Recommended article-count milestones are 100, 500, 1k (1,000), 2k, 5k, then 5k increments to 20k, 10k increments to 100k, 50k increments to 200k, 100k increments to 1M (1,000,000), 500k increments to 2M, and 1M increments to 10M. Article (or content-page) counts should reflect the counts seen at each wiki's Special:Statistics page, which are based on what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article. Other milestones, such as page edits, registered users or featured articles, can also be announced here, but typically only the powers-of-ten levels of these statistics are considered significant enough to announce.

Wikimedia Forum provides a place for general discussion.

• Wikinews ends the year with 1,734,078 articles in 34 languages, which constitutes a 215% increase in articles over the past year (mostly due to mass-creation of articles by bots in the Russian Wikinews, which ramped up considerably in late 2020 and slowed again in mid 2021).

Note: The article counts listed above are actual counts collected in the last 5 minutes of 2021-12-31 (UTC). All counts are based on what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article (or content page), as reflected at each wiki's Special:Statistics page. Language counts (which were collected in the last 20 minutes of 2021-12-31) include closed (but not deleted) wikis and count "Simple English" as a separate language when such a wiki exists within a project.

Projects by number of content pages

The tables below are arranged chronologically by the original launch dates of the major content projects, within two main groups: "interlingual" projects (different wiki for each language) followed by "multilingual" projects (all languages on the same wiki). The older Wikimedia projects (such as Wikipedia) tend to be larger than the newer ones, but note that these tables are not arranged by number of sub-wikis nor by total article count (across all languages).

For the interlingual projects, within each table the individual language editions are arranged by milestone level, and then chronologically by the date the milestones were first reached.

Note: You can go directly to the table for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, Wikimedia Commons, Wikispecies, or Wikidata.

Merajul Islam

Linux has the penguin. MySQL has the dolphin. O'Reilly has a whole zoo. Every successful open source / open content project seems to have a mascot - should Wikipedia have a mascot in addition to the logo?

No mascot, please!

If you don't want a mascot

• Support: 26 Youandme (his POV: words embracing the Earth is enough and it is a beautiful logo, especially on Meta) -- Fonzy (now i think about it I dont think WIkipedia should have a mascot) -- Paullusmagnus (Mascots have an inherent playfulness in them that is fine for most projects, but dangerous ground for an encylcopedia) -- Neolux (as per Paullusmagnus, also if there are too many different "brands" for the one concept, there is a risk of losing the identity of the concept all together. Is wikipedia represented by the logo, by the mascot, by the word itself, by the square quotes...? Stick to one brand and utilise that to it's full potential.) --Buxul the square quotes and a logo are enough -- Gutza (see Paullusmagnus, plus: Why? What's the real use of a mascot? Also see my comments on the talk page) -- Tali -- Fruggo -- Wolfram -- Elrond Nólatári -- Gkl -- Ruiz 08:54, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC) -- Andrewlevine 05:48, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC) -- Ich (The Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't have one, but it's got a symbol (the thistle) and seems to have done pretty well.) -- Nealmcb, Hapsiainen -- Frazzydee -- mascot serves no purpose/an animal popular or recognizable in one culture may be tabboo, feared or unrecognized in another.Pedant 23:31, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) --Ascánder 23:52, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) --68.64.9.10 01:22, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) --81.229.227.212 15:18, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC) -- user:zanimum139.62.185.215 02:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC) -- Tempshill2 18:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC)--18.95.7.164 21:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• I think a mascot would take away from the beauty of the Wikipedia logo. The Jade Knight 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved out: Sverdrup (Symbols are better, esp with the international nature of Wikipedia in though) Redecided, I want a mascot ✏ Sverdrup 15:05, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Some rationales from the above voters:

• The Wikipedia logo already beautifully conveys the earth itself, and diverse human cultures around the globe, as the "mascot" of Wikipedia. A different mascot would compete with the logo and dilute the value of the Wikipedia brand.
• All, or nearly all, open-source mascots look very amateurish. So do all the mascots below as of this writing. Granted, Wikipedia editors are mostly amateurs, but openly embracing amateur content decreases the value of the brand. Some editors (including me) would be less likely to contribute to the project if we're going to brand ourselves with a mascot that shouts "amateurville". (Tempshill2 18:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC))

Mascot, please!

If you want a mascot.

It could be used in the logo, printed on T-shirts or kept as a housepet. But what should it be? A fish, a bird, an insect, a mammal, a reptile, a virus? This page is for collecting ideas. At any time, feel free to express your support for a particular mascot by putting your name under it.

It would probably be nice if the mascot somehow represented the spirit of Wikipedia, e.g.:

• social
• massively cooperative
• controversial
• chaotic
• growing
• ambitious
• infectious
• curious

Mascot Name Once the mascot is chosen, a name may need to be given to it see: Wikipedia mascot/name

Suggested mascots This is en:Approval voting so you can add your name next to as many choices as you want.

Amoeba

• Support: 2 Torombol --

Ola_H --

• Rationale: I don't know if it's being used by another GNU project, but I really like an amoeba for mascot. It is chaotic, it is growing, becoming something that nobody could know cooperating with other amoebas, it could be infectious, curious and very social.

• Image: I don't have it, but I will like an amoeba with glasses.

"Please do not add new options unless you get them seconded by one other Wikipedian." Sorry for not following the instructions.

Amorphous blob

• "Wikipedia", the Amorphous blob!

• Support: Node

Anglerfish

• I think the mascot should be one of those tripped-out deepsea fish with the glowing ball of light. Wiki the Anglerfish, bringing light to the depths of the vast ocean of human knowledge. Yah, thatd be tite. User:Lir

beaver

design by Zanimum

• Support: 3 I am Jack's username -- Zanimum -- mmasaki (18.252.2.100)

• Image ideas: [1], Beaver_logo.gif

• Rationale:
  • build dams, sociable, beneficial to the environment, instrumental in creating habitats for many aquatic organisms, maintaining the water table at an appropriate level and controlling flooding and erosion, nocturnal, extremely productive (like us)

• Problems:
  • Maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea to have a shot of a beaver as the logo -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick
    • Maybe why? Maybe isn't a reason. -- user:zanimum

Liked it. -- LifeMega 19:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC) I love the Wikipede. The name sounds like Wikipedian, and the many arms represent the many people contributing. Naha Great play on words! It has so much personality and potential. It jumps right off the page! Owls and monkeys are already way overused as logos around the world. The ant just seems too plain. Lets be different!

• Images - [4], [5], [6], , Elian's version, w:Image:wikipedesketch1.png, another alternate version

• Rationale: legs co-operate, great (disarmingly cute) images. Controversial (not Disneyish). Very agile and can bend this way or that to get past obstacles. Centipedes will fight off bigger insects or spiders, will decimate cockroaches. Millipedes can roll themselves into a tight little ball when threatened and avoid injury and at times roll speedily away from danger. "wikipede" is a nice pun.

• Problems: negative/creepy connotations for some (see images above) - drawings are good though. Do they co-operate enough? Name "Wikipede" hard to internationalise.

Chick coming out of a Wikipedia Jigsaw Egg

The chicken would be coming out of an egg (that is made out of the jigsaw puzzle pieces of the Wikipedia Globe). It shows how nice cute and tender Wikipedia is... And the growth that lies ahead and reminds us of the chicken and egg problem.... The Wikipedia was born first or the Wikipedians ;-) SudarshanP 16:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

This is a mockup of a mascot for Wikipedia or Wikidata. Part of the image is derived from [7] . Someone with good artistic skill can improve on this "theme" to make it completely legal. Apart from being a candidate for Wikipedia Mascot... I think it could be a candidate for the logo of Wikidata or Semantic Wikipedia. The Wikipedians construct the Jigsaw Egg(Wikipedia), piece by piece, it hatches and out comes the Semantic Wikipedia(Wikidata). It represents the birth of something much more than what went into it. SudarshanP 18:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment I like the idea, but the chick would have to be redrawn to look a lot less like tweety pie before I could fully support. 81.109.242.195 22:23, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Some chicktoons for an artist to draw inspiration from...[8]SudarshanP

Coyote

• Support: Calliope

• Rationale: Coyotes are curious (will investigate human activity when they roam into residential areas); controversial (farmers and ranchers tend to hate them but other people like them); growing (the range of coyote territory has expanded greatly in recent years and keeps expanding); cooperative (in the way they raise pups and hunt together to bring down animals they couldn't kill alone); ambitious in their search for food and in tackling animals much larger than themselves; and social in the way they vocalize to communicate with other coyotes and travel in packs. (You could also call them infectious, but coyotes don't get rabies as often as domestic dogs.) And yes, coyotes are very cute and good to draw.

Honey bees

http://www.honeyflowfarm.com/Images/Honey%20bee.gif

• Support: 10 Mahongue -- Yann -- Elian -- Fantasy -- MarcS -- MyRedDice -- User:AstroNomer (though I don't like very much the particular honeybee now displayed, there should be a second "design" vote) -- Lorenzarius (The idea is very good, as the WikiBees can represent the natures of Wikipedia quite well: lots of hardworking bees gather honey(knowledge) and bring it back to the nest(Wikipedia) to service all the other bees. It would be better if there're more sketches.) -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick (like the ants, this is touch and go; hardworking but also drones and hoarders) -- Cjmnyc --

• Rationale: Work cooperatively, have a Queen (Jimbo rules!), collect nectar (collect info), take that back to the hive, and turn that into honey (articles). Very positive symbol. Wikipedia resembles a humming hive of busy workers making something beautiful (honey=free quality information resource). Bees communicate well with each other, and there is some evidence that they work with a type of collective intelligence. The nectar collection also pollinates flowers so that they can reproduce. See en:Honeybee, [11], [12]
• Problems: They sting. Some people are allergic and/or afraid of them. Not very cute (unless drawn cartoony as above). Done to death elsewhere? The 'honey pot' is in english. Bah.

But ant will do. -- Hemmer -- Anthony DiPierro -- Aphaia -- TJ (definitely a better name than wikipede, and I like the concept better, too) -- EnginGunduz --Ocicatmuseum Ants are great because it takes many people to create a wikipedia. -- Tiberian -- Traroth Go Miwiki go ! --

• While I oppose a mascot in general, I think this is the best of the lot. The Jade Knight 23:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• Rationale: collaborative, hard working, strength in numbers. Images - [14], [15], [16] (one ant could be carrying a cut leaf in the shape of a W)

Ant's are the ueber-cooperative animals. They work together for a common goal, they are most important to any forrest they are in. with their multiple feet ant antennae they are bound to make a good picture as a mascot much like the centipede that reads. An ant would be the perfect Wiki-Pet :-)

(*) Miwiki is an artwork of french workgroup on french Wikipedia. All products about Miwiki on fr:Utilisateur:Oliezekat/Miwiki and discuss fr:Discussion Utilisateur:Oliezekat/Miwiki.

Meerkat

• Support: 6 Maveric149 (read why the meerkat would be a great choice here) -- Cassini -- GGano -- Menchi (it's so odd and cute!) -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick (actually there is a meerkat-like critter in Southern Africa that builds these massive pointy mounds, that would be my suggestion. Does anyone know what animal I mean?) -- Angela

One support vote from Finland, just adorable meerkat. -- user:128.214.205.5

Should unsigned anons be counted? -- user:zanimum

• Rationale: Images - [17], [18], [19]

• • Stevertigo - I like this animal... Kinda racconish, with a lot of weasel in it :) so i did some sketches

• Problem: O'Reilly already uses this for their meerkat service. http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat/
  • Well, O'Reilly uses so many animals... Would it really be problem? I really like the idea of a meerkat. They are cute, cooperative animals, and at times a little strange. -- Costyn

• Rationale: "10,000 monkeys with 10,000 typewriters will never produce Shakespeare" [20]

• Problems: Wil Wheaton Dot Net uses a slogan based on this (although not a logo).

• • I doubt Wil will care. -- Stephen Gilbert

• • He has actually already endorsed Wikpedia, see here.

• • • Sure he has, I originally came to Wikipedia by following that very link! My objection was just on the grounds that it's his site that I think of when I think of monkeys and typewriters. But, of course, whatever we choose is likely to be somewhere else. 'Twas just that this one happens to be one of my favourite sites :) -- sannse 18:57 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)

• • Wheaton is just using the old idea of an infinite number of monkeys working at an infinite number of typewriters banging out a copy of Hamlet. It's used many places. -- Stephen Gilbert

There used to be a monkey logo at Logo suggestions--humorous logos, however the images were stored offsite and have vanished.

That one, along with most of the others, are back. If anyone has copies of the missing ones, please upload them.

I agree strongly with the symbols evocked higher, but this would be so fun I cannont resist to be pro Jul

If the monkey is chosen, it would look best typing with its feet! Not only would it be funny (even funnier than a regular old monkey), it would be a good reason for explaining why Wikipedia isn't perfect.

I think that the monkeys working on it would be a definite show of the collaboration in the process of creating the wikipedia. Of course, thousands of monkeys, in addition to writing shakespeare also produce a fair amount of crap. I don't really like the idea of having a mascot at all; I feel a photograph, such as the one given, would be better. It would function as a graphic illustrating the wikipedia, not some kind of cutesy mascot that makes it look unprofessional.

Support. 24.190.96.44 14:43, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Choosing the monkey behind a typewriter as a mascot means a certain amount of self irony and distance to yourself and what you are doing. I like it. /Habj 22:01, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I do not know about a monkey behind a typewriter for wikipedia but three monkeys fighting over one typewriter would be great for anarchopedia.

Octopus

• Support: 5 Angela - Piolinfax (My second choice. Anyway, I wouldn't make an schematic octopus but a massive-like, full of tangles tentacles maybe with colourful letters as suckers) - TJ (2nd choice, though the lack of a better picture is a bit unfortunate) - Lapinmies (I don't know how to add a link to my userpage :I )

[source for info on octopus www.germantown.k12.il.us/html/octopus.html [ first hit in google for octopus]but ideas already developed by me.] - Tmh I like that picture enough :) --65.172.213.123 16:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)Octopi are cute! So I'm in!

• The octopus has a soft body with a well-developed brain, similar to a human's. It is known to be very intelligent.[ Analogy- wikipedia- amorphous/ undefined/ ambiguous body and intelligent mind]

• Octopi hunt primarily at night or on dark dreary days, thus this is the best time to see them out and about[Analogy- wikipedians? moonlighting [ I think that's what Westerners call working on alternate job at night?]

• The octopus seizes its prey with its eight long arms. These arms bear two rows of suckers each. The hundreds of suckers that line their arms help the octopus to hold on to almost anything.[ Analogy- no explanations necessary- wikipedians grab on to lots of info and there is no corner unreached, second important reason why I suggested this mascot]

• Octopus head= wikipedia, tentacles= wikipedians.If an octopus loses one of its tentacles, it will soon grow another one in the same place.[ Analogy- most important reason why I chose octopus for wikipedia- bad users are banned- new ones are taken in, good ones are retained... and so on- there is an element of regeneration and constant renewal, and the idea of the whole being more than [and more important than] the sum of its parts]

• minus points- is there an element of cruelty in the catching of prey and tentacles?

my opinion: No! If the tentacles are the members, then we members are sucking up information! We are the tentacles catching the prey, knowledge!--65.172.213.123 16:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

• Octopus is like a spider. Google is using a spider. Spider collects information and octopus could do the same. But Wikipedia's mascot shouldn't be spider coz it's already used idea.

Will work on a graphic for the above, an octopus will look cute abstracted KRS

(Local image Image:Octopus.jpg commented out, as it was deleted for having no source. Korg 15:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC))

Otter

• Rationale: There are several species, but perhaps freshwater (river) otters might be the best choice. They embody all of the qualities listed above with perhaps special emphasis on playful and curious. The appearance and behavior is appealing at least to humans and other otters, and though rather incompatible with an orderly environment due to their playfulness and curiosity, they are not known to be vicious, hostile, or agressive. Regrettably, unlike centipedes or milipedes, they have only a few feet, thus not stressing the "...pedia" aspect of Wikipedia. Perhaps this could be remedied by adopting an appropriate name, eg Pede, the Otter? Public domain images, a la those used by O'Reilly Publishers for their covers might be appropriate, or perhaps a cartoon akin in spirit to that used for Tux (the Linux mascot) would be better. Artists are invited to have a go. The aspect to be emphasized in such a cartoon otter is a impish curiosity, with perhaps a touch of satisfaction at recent excellent meal of insufficiently quick fish or newly found understanding.

Owl

• Support: 4 Dan Koehl -- Elian -- Joerg Feuerhake -- Angela

http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:Xrx140YOBNwC:www.callawaygardens.com/tosee/bop/images/great-horned-owl.jpg

• Rationale: An old symbol for knowledge and searching for facts. An owl head could easily be integrated in the logotype. Maybe boring but respected and traditional. The eyebrows could form a W shape too.

• Problems: Encyclopedia.com and Wikinfo use a cartoon owl as their logos. Also, owls work alone.
  • Owls aren't actually all that intelligent, I've heard. -- Kwekubo
• Overused!!! 63.155.186.52 03:27 25 Mar 2003 (UTC)
• Owl = knowledge as opposed to understanding, dogma, static, opposite of Wikipedia? -- samsara

source : http://www.funet.fi/pub/Linux/doc/logos/

• Rationale: It most resembles "an animal designed by committee"

• Problems: The en:Darwin kernel uses a Donald Duck look-alike platypus named Hexley. Also, the Gnu has been remarked upon as an animal most likely built by committee, and it's an old free-software joke.

Puzzle piece

A new mascot idea (with the puzzle globe): the wikipedia puzzle piece. Like this one:

File:Wikipedia-sketch-tillwe Gutza01.png

Tillwe 20:11, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC) I like the above idea, looks like puzzle pieces are people holding hands... but I voted no mascot Pedant Something similar from Spanish Wikipedia, by Comae.

• Support: 4

Tillwe -- Drbug(original) -- Ankur (Can be made a lil more cute, Demonstrates collaboration, related to Logo, Human like and yet a puzzle piece, Simple to redesign or animate, colourful RGB the primary colours, shades of RGB can be adopted by wikipedia for the main page, moving forward together, what not... :-) -- \Mikez 10:34, 10 May 2004 (UTC) (I was going to vote 'no mascot' - but then I saw this one. ;)

spirit of Wikipedia social, cooperative, growing.

Pythia

• Pythia was the all-seeing oracle. JWSurf 17:55, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

• So were the Sibyl and Cassandra -- See Delphic Research. -- Derek Ross 18:42, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

• Sibyl is almost as nerdishly obscure as Pythia, but due to my familiarity with the unsavory character "Sibil" in Jack Vance's book Araminta Station, I would not like "Sybil" as the mascot. The name "Cassandra" is too commonly used. JWSurf 19:27, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
• Unfortunately, these two names have been brought into the mainstream by J.K. Rowling: Sybil Trelawney is the Hogwarts Divination teacher, and Cassandra was her famous clairvoyant great-grandmother. User:The Noodle Incident
  • Well Cassandra was my favourite female character from the Aeneid but since she was always correct but was never believed, she might not be the best choice as Wikipedia mascot. -- Derek Ross

against: wikipedia is the reverse of the oracle

Sand Puppy

File:Wikimolerat concept small.gif

Concept art. Imagine more of them scurrying about.

(a.k.a. the "Naked mole rat")

• Support: 1 Kraut1138

• Rationale: Social and massively cooperative. Busy, chaotic colonies. Not easily contained (can chew through concrete). A mammalian alternative to ants and bees. Sand puppy sounds friendlier than naked mole rat.

• Problems: Not cute. Nearly blind.

I have a problem! there the ugliest thingon planet earth! - jedi of redwall

La Serpiente

http://es.wikipedia.org/upload/d/d1/WIKI.jpg

El movimiento forma parte de la energía y de lo más íntimo de la materia: El movimiento es la energía y la materia.

Todas las capacidades y expectativas del conocimiento humano permanecen ligadas a la idea de movimiento.

La mascota que sugiero es la serpiente que mira una onda senoidal que representa el movimiento y al mismo tiempo la representa a ella misma.

Además la serpiente es femenina, como se intuye el futuro, y está estrechamente ligada al pasado del conocimiento de la humanidad (El Edén, Egipto, la medicina...)

En la representación, la fusión de la serpiente con los ejes cartesianos sugiere la unión entre las líneas rectas y curvas, la cruz y la luna, es decir la herencia del conocimiento de occidente unido con la de oriente.

please, if you´re able translate this into english, thanks, the author

[Here the translation into English]

Serpent, movement is part of the energy and most intimately of the matter: The movement is the energy and the matter.

All the capacities and expectations of the human knowledge remain bound to the movement idea.

The mascot that I suggest is the serpent that watches a sine wave that represents the movement and at the same time it represents herself.

In addition the serpent is feminine [in some cultures: note of the translator], as it is intuited the future, and closely is bound to the past of knowledge of humanity (Eden, Egypt, medicine...)

In the representation, the fusion of the serpent with the cartesian axes suggests the union between the straight and curved lines, the cross and the moon, meaning the inheritance of the knowledge of the West united with the one of east.

Mustard tree

• Weak support: user:zanimum

Comments

• Wikipedia should not be referred with any animal, because it is not a computer programme processing data as MySQL or Linux. Therefore instread of fauna, it should be part of flora, because it is data more than just a programme processing data. -- Node

• • I don't get your point. Programs use animals, so projects and organizations shouldn't? -- user:zanimum

• The second problem is, that if Wikipedia is animal, it could become in some circumtances be an unacceptable animal like pig (for exampe one of Walt Disney's three little pigs http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/pigs/mstory.htm ) in Jewish or Moslem cultures. A red cross and red half moon are examples of the risk. -- Node

• • Exactly why the centipede, in the lead in terms of votes, is beyond being simply a deplorable choice. It's an equal opportunity turn off. While no religion or culture is offended by the tree, mustard gas started all the chemical warfare that's killed many thousands internationally. -- user:zanimum

• How exactly is a mustard tree identifiable iconicly, versus a spruce or apple? If it simply looks like a tree, then the uninformed won't have a clue to the reasoning behind it, no matter how sound. -- user:zanimum

Tardigrade / Tardígrado

The Tardigrade is the strongest animal ever. Don't we want our ideology to be deathless? Don't have the image yet, but you can look about this animal here in wikipedia.

El Tardígrado es el animal más fuerte de todos. ¿No queremos acaso que nuestra ideología perdure? Aún no tengo la imagen, pero pueden averiguar sobre este animal aquí en wikipedia.

Termites

• Support: 3 anthere (that make a lot of sense) -- Ducker -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick

• Rationale: Termites are co-operative animals. In some ways we are like them in our work on the House of Intellectual Property. They are so maligned that there is little chance that anyone has chosen them as a mascot before.

• Problems: Termites are known as destroyers, not builders. -- Stephen Gilbert

• • I recently found this impressive termite home[21] which seems to prove the opposite ;-) --Elian

• • • Oh sure, termites are tremendous builders, but that's not commonly associated with them. I simply said they're known as destroyers. People tend to think of termites infesting buildings rather than building impressive structures. I like to think that Wikipedia is fighting repressive notions of "intellectual properity" by building something better, not by undermining what already exists. -- Stephen Gilbert

Weasel

Weasels are small cute and furry. Also inquisitive. William M. Connolley 11:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC).

Well, it is not the most cooperative animal, they do live in pods, but it isn't really a pack/herd/group animal. and what do you mean modeled after shamu? they all look like that. I have nothing against it, but nothing for it either, except that they look cool :-) - jedi of redwall

It has to be something that strongly relates to what it's supposed to represent, something unique enough as to gain recognition when it's encountered, something that evokes emotion, something simple and to the point. I'm no expert but I believe this thing here bests the Wikipede on all three categories and would make for a better first mascot, not second. AceMyth 02:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

An automatic list of most special pages is available by the <tvar name="4">Special pages</tvar> link on every wiki page. </translate> <translate>Below is an arranged list of special pages available on most [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia movement</tvar>|Wikimedia]] projects. Page names are case-insensitive; their default names were converted from capitalized lowercase to CamelCase in March 2008.</translate> <translate> For many special pages the option <tvar name="1">Preferences</tvar> → <tvar name="2">Recent changes</tvar> → "<tvar name="3">Number of edits to show in recent changes, page histories, and in logs, by default:</tvar>" determines the number of titles per page.

Lists

All pages

</translate>

• All pages (Allpages)
• All pages with prefix (Prefixindex)

<translate> MediaWiki searches all pages in a specified group of names in a special ASCII order. Capitals come before lowercase letters; special characters, such as <tvar name="1">é</tvar>, come after <tvar name="2">z</tvar>.

MediaWiki searches include redirects (for example: <tvar name="1">#REDIRECT[[Page name]]</tvar>). These redirects are usually displayed in a different style than normal pages because of <tvar name="2">allpagesredirect</tvar> class.

If a person uses "<tvar name="1">Display pages starting at:</tvar>" to search, both <tvar name="2">Special:Prefixindex</tvar> and <tvar name="3">Special:Allpages</tvar> will show the list of pages starting with this word, then Allpages will display all of the other pages in ASCII order which don't have this word.

For example, if a person types in "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in the "<tvar name="2">Display pages starting at:</tvar>" box on the <tvar name="3">Special:AllPages</tvar> page, MediaWiki will first list all pages that start with the word "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>": </translate>

• Computer
• Computer-Aided Design
• Computer-Aided Test Tool
• ComputerWorld Smithsonian Award

<translate> MediaWiki will then list all of the other pages that don't start with "<tvar name="1">Computer</tvar>" in ASCII order.

Protected

</translate>

• Protected pages (Protectedpages) — <translate>pages [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:Protection</tvar>|protected]] from editing</translate>
• Protected titles (Protectedtitles) — <translate>titles protected from creation. This feature replaced cascading protection hack. Titles can be also protected by mask with <tvar name="1">MediaWiki:Titleblacklist</tvar>.</translate>

<translate>

Categories

</translate>

• Categories (Categories)

<translate>List of all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Category</tvar>|categories]], alphabetically ordered, showing the number of top elements in each category. Not very convenient, so many projects create index pages like w:Wikipedia:Contents/Categories.</translate>

• Category Tree (Categorytree)

<translate>The tree of pages and subcategories, using [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CategoryTree</tvar>|Extension:CategoryTree]]. The same tree functionality is used on categories pages, and can be inserted into any page with <tvar name="2"><categorytree></tvar> tag.</translate>

<translate>

Links to special pages

</translate> <translate> Special pages can be linked to as usual, like <tvar name="1">Special:Recentchanges</tvar>. Instead of "<tvar name="2">special</tvar>" prefix, a localized namespace name can be used, e.g. "<tvar name="3">Speciaal</tvar>" in Dutch, "<tvar name="4">Spezial</tvar>" in German, "<tvar name="5">Speciális</tvar>" in Hungarian and "<tvar name="6">מיוחד</tvar>" in Hebrew. The localized name also appears in the [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Help:URL</tvar>|URLs]].

Redirects to special pages have been disabled because of their complications.

Some special pages accept (and some require) a parameter after <tvar name="1">/</tvar>. For other pages and parameters the full URL has to be given, for example <tvar name="2">//en.bharatpedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=10</tvar> (last 10 changes). </translate>

• <translate><tvar name="1">Allpages</tvar> and <tvar name="2">Prefixindex</tvar> allow a namespace and a (partial) pagename, for example:</translate>

• Special:Allpages/Template:Z — <translate>all templates starting with "<tvar name="1">Z</tvar>" and all templates after that.</translate>
• Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/ — <translate>all [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Subpages</tvar>|subpages]] of user <tvar name="2">Example</tvar>; this is the most popular usage of <tvar name="3">PrefixIndex</tvar>.</translate>

<translate>Besides, these special pages can be [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Transclusion</tvar>|transcluded]] into wikitext, so the result appears as the part of the page, e.g. <tvar name="2">{{Special:Prefixindex/User:Example/}}</tvar>.</translate>

• <translate><tvar name="1">Whatlinkshere</tvar>, <tvar name="2">Recentchangeslinked</tvar>, <tvar name="3">Movepage</tvar>, <tvar name="4">Undelete</tvar>, <tvar name="5">Contributions</tvar> and <tvar name="6">Blockip</tvar>, being interface links, accept (or even require) a page or a user name, e.g. <tvar name="7">Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Special page</tvar>.</translate>
• <translate><tvar name="1">Search</tvar>, <tvar name="2">Linksearch</tvar> and <tvar name="3">MIMEsearch</tvar> accept search value, e.g. <tvar name="4">Special:Search/word</tvar>.</translate>
• <translate><tvar name="1">Listusers</tvar> can be used with a group name: <tvar name="2">sysop</tvar>, <tvar name="3">bot</tvar>, <tvar name="4">bureaucrat</tvar>, <tvar name="5">checkuser</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">Special:Listusers/bot</tvar>.</translate>
• <translate><tvar name="1">Log</tvar> can be used with a log type: <tvar name="2">move</tvar>, <tvar name="3">protect</tvar>, <tvar name="4">block</tvar>, <tvar name="5">delete</tvar>, e.g. <tvar name="6">Special:Log/move</tvar>.</translate>
• <translate><tvar name="1">Random</tvar> and <tvar name="2">Randomredirect</tvar> accept namespace (see [[<tvar name="3">#Random</tvar>|above]]).</translate>

<translate> Two special pages <tvar name="1">Mypage</tvar> and <tvar name="2">Mytalk</tvar> exist specially for internal links, they redirect to the pages of a user who follows these links. Examples: <tvar name="3">Special:Mypage</tvar>, <tvar name="4">Special:Mypage/common.js</tvar>.

Transclusion

</translate>

• <translate><tvar name="1">Recentchanges</tvar>, <tvar name="2">Newpages</tvar>, <tvar name="3">Newimages</tvar> and <tvar name="4">OldReviewedPages</tvar> can be transcluded:</translate>

  {{Special:Newpages/shownav}} — <translate>show with header</translate>

  {{Special:Newpages/10}} — <translate>show 10 elements</translate>

  {{Special:Newpages/limit=10,offset=10,shownav}} — <translate>start from 10th element, plus previous parameters</translate>

<translate> From [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLangauge7MediaWiki 1.19</tvar>|MediaWiki 1.19]] template-like syntax works also, see <tvar name="2">bugzilla:15558</tvar>. For example: </translate>

{{Special:Newpages|limit=3}}

Logs

</translate> Special:Log - <translate>combined display of various logs. You can narrow down the view by:</translate>

• <translate>selecting a log type, including:</translate>
  • ⧼blockpage⧽ - <translate>blocks and unblocks</translate>
  • Deletion log - <translate>deleted and undeleted pages</translate>
  • Protection log - <translate>protected and unprotected pages</translate>
  • Upload log - <translate>list of images uploaded</translate>
• <translate>entering the full name without prefix of the acting user (usual case-sensitivity)</translate>
• <translate>entering the full name of the affected page (usual case-sensitivity) e.g. "<tvar name="1">File:Map South Holland.png</tvar>"), or the full name including prefix of the affected user (in the case of blocking, setting user rights, setting bot status, and user creation) or without prefix (in the case of renaming a user)</translate>

<translate> It does not seem possible to search by editor for edits of deleted pages. They can only be seen by a sysop with Special:Undelete if the exact page name is known.

There are no logs available on the site for: </translate>

• <translate>adding or removing a page from a user's list of page to watch (the user can only view the current state)</translate>
• <translate>change of preferences of a user (ditto)</translate>
• <translate>viewing a page (except that, if <tvar name="1">$wgDisableCounters</tvar> is <tvar name="2">false</tvar>, the total number of views of a page is displayed on it)</translate>
• <translate>editing and previewing a page without saving</translate>
• <translate>applying <tvar name="1">Special:ExpandTemplates</tvar></translate>
• <translate>applying <tvar name="1">Special:Export</tvar></translate>
• <translate>unfinished operations (e.g. an attempted page move)</translate>

<translate> It is possible to add other events to the logs; for an example, see the code for [[<tvar name="1">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalBlocking</tvar>|Extension:GlobalBlocking]] or for <tvar name="2">Article.php</tvar>.
