::if its available in a public library, which is in this case the public library of the church where the jubilee book is available for anyone to read, how can i cite it? any template? [[User:VihirLak007|VihirLak007]] ([[User talk:VihirLak007|talk]]) 08:37, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
:::{{u|VihirLak007}}, you are describing a self-published source that can only be used with great caution, and the relevant policy language is at [[WP:ABOUTSELF]]. For a template, see [[Template: Cite book]]. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 08:45, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

:::::Oh right the question is about YouTube music videos specifically. I guess the numbers directly above are meaningless for that application 🫠 [[User:Folly Mox|Folly Mox]] ([[User talk:Folly Mox|talk]]) 17:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
::::::[[Special:LinkSearch]]. I am not sure any sort of search would be useful in finding specifically "links to music videos" because YouTube does not classify videos by their URL. The best you might be able to manage is a regex insource: search containing "youtube.com" and "music video" or similar.

:::::::{{Sectionlink|:mw:Help:CirrusSearch|Regular expression searches}} warns strongly against bare regex searches, and recommends filtering ({{code|1=hastemplate:YouTube}} or {{code|1=hastemplate:"Cite AV media"}} might be helpful here), or just switching to string literals, which should be fine for this use case.

Most wikiprojects have very big lists of users, but as time passes many of them leave Wikipedia for one reason or another. Is there a bot that can help to manage those lists, keeping the active users and moving inactive users (users who have not edited in, say, the last 6 months) to another section or subpage?

[[2024 PDC Pro Tour]]
It keeps throwing this error on the Darts Pro Tour 2024 site, so it's completely useless. Maybe you can find a solution. They might need to increase their max_execution_time in their php settings. [[User:Szpity88|Szpity88]] ([[User talk:Szpity88|talk]]) 03:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

:::<nowiki>*shrugs*</nowiki>{{pb}}There are limitations in the software MediaWiki used; we faced similar issues when we exceeded the PEIS limit for the larger COVID-19 pages and the solution was to split them off into their own articles. Perhaps the software tinkerers will eventually be able to allow more templates to be used, but in the meantime, fewer templates on the page is the only solution. —[[User:Tenryuu|<span style="color:#556B2F">Tenryuu 🐲</span>]] ( [[User talk:Tenryuu|💬]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tenryuu|📝]] ) 13:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
:This might be related to [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Issue with Template:Inflation]]. The article [[2024 PDC Pro Tour]] makes many calls to {{tl|PDCFlag}}, which calls [[Module:DartsRankings]], which in turn makes many calls to the LUA function <code>gsub</code>. This is one of the functions that seem to have got slower recently. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 07:40, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
::My general impression of problems with script timeouts and PEIS errors is that about 80% of them are caused by splattering hundreds of stupid flags everywhere. Wish people could just let go of the idea that the flag of a country of a person's citizenship or the flag of a country containing a specific geographic locale is in every instance relevant information.

== MfD nominations? ==
I recently requested an article to be put up for MfD on [[Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion]], as I am an unregistered user. However, I also saw that IP users should tag the article for deletion along with submitting a request on the talk page. However, if a person sees the deletion tag on top of the page, and the link to the deletion discussion doesn't exist, there's a very high chance that they won't realize I made a request on the talk page and will probably revert the edit and warn me. Should I still tag the article? [[Special:Contributions/74.108.22.119|74.108.22.119]] ([[User talk:74.108.22.119|talk]]) 12:24, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
:No. The MfD nomination that you want to make is absolutely hopeless. I reject your request to convert it into a proper MfD nomination. I have given you the needed explanation in response to your comment in which you "requested an article to be put up for MfD"; see [[Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion#MFD request: Wikipedia:Why is BFDI not on Wikipedia?]] —[[User talk:Alalch E.|Alalch E.]] 13:58, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

:It was formed in 1872. Please read [[History of Rangers F.C.]]. Perhaps you are thinking of some other club? [[User:Shantavira|Shantavira]]|[[User talk:Shantavira|<sup>feed me</sup>]] 13:52, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
