A new proposal
Hi Mrjulesd, there is currently a proposal at Wikibooks:Reading room/Proposals for non-admins to be given the ability of Suppress redirect and Move subpages. Since you’ve been an active user on Wikibooks for the last thirty day, I thought you might join in by giving feedback/opinion or amendments. Thank you so much for your time Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 12:57, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
We sent you an e-mail
Hello Mrjulesd,
Really sorry for the inconvenience. This is a gentle note to request that you check your email. We sent you a message titled "The Community Insights survey is coming!". If you have questions, email surveys@wikimedia.org.
You can see my explanation here.

Advice needed
Hello. I'm totally new here, I usually contribute to Wikipedia in French. I am currently writing a book on hand knitting. When you reviewed the page I wrote on yarn, you noted the quality was minimal (which I am not denying). It's a work in progress and I am adding content. My question is the following: if the quality is judged to be minimal, does this mean my page can be deleted? Secondly, I don't understand how to use the sandbox. I have written a table of content, yarn is just one of them and this page on yarn is not finished yet. I haven't covered the question of the different yarn materials. Is there a way I can indicate to reviewers that a page is currently being written? On Wikipedia, there's a template you can apply that tells the reviewers you are currently working on an article and how long you are going to be working on it. Does a similar template exist on Wikibooks and if so, what's its name? Kind regards, --Braveheidi (discuss • contribs) 01:07, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Braveheidi. We use the page-review thing as a yes/no sort of thing, mostly to certify that an edit wasn't vandalism, so review is always just "minimal".
The sandbox is just for experiment; we don't use it for drafting pages. Generally pages get drafted in-place. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 03:03, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Braveheidi: basically per Pi zero. You might want to read WB:REVIEW for more info on reviewing. I generally review pages as "minimal" as my review itself is minimal, I just check over the very basics, for example vandalism, obvious errors, or whether it is obviously not fit for the project. More in depth reviews can be carried out later. So no worries about that.
- For templates see Wikibooks:Templates/Maintenance; but "works in progress" generally don't need them, and they don't need to be sandboxed. Some pages are deleted per WB:SPEEDY, but they don't apply to just started books within scope and policy. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 12:32, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
interwikis
Small technical note: en.wb doesn't remove local interwiki markup once the info is also on Wikidata. (I noticed a very-old-by-now case (May 2020) where you sighted an edit removing such, and decided to leave note here, in case.) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 22:17, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
