Media file of the day (May 23rd 2023)
A stupid and sexist depiction of a girl/women is why? multimedia file of the day? Who's responsible for the choice? A bot? Grizma (talk) 13:10, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- +1 to Grizma! This is very unfortunate on a day where there is probably more traffic than usual, because of the picutre of the year (social media) announcements... Ki7sun3 (talk) 13:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- I agree, Grizma. Sexism is not funny. Or should we introduce a new section: "Misogyny of the day"?--Helga Wiki (talk) 14:37, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- I am so, so confused. How on earth is a gif of a cartoon character playing with a puzzle "sexist" in any way??? Di (they-them) (talk) 18:41, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Because she’s a w:dojikko and girls can’t be clumsy because that’s sexist apparently. Dronebogus (talk) 18:43, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thänks for linking that article, I think it perfectly illustrates part of what is problematic with this kind of imagery... for a more up-to-date and complex perspective on kawaii characters I highly recommend the works of w:Yoshitomo Nara. --Ki7sun3 (talk) 10:35, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- This is all very interesting but I still think this is an extremely overblown controversy over a gif of a girl playing with a puzzle that was featured on the main page for one day. Dronebogus (talk) 17:00, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

- Your suggestions are all very good, and one person has combined your words into an image description of today's daily media. I chose this image at random and didn't expect the traffic to be so heavy today. In addition, the English description of potd is not maintained by anyone else except me. Can anyone else maintain the subsequent Potd description? Q28 (talk) 14:39, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- But why is it allowed on the commons? Cyberwolf434344 (talk) 17:46, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Because it’s a harmless gif of an unofficial mascot? Dronebogus (talk) 18:15, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- But why is it allowed on the commons? Cyberwolf434344 (talk) 17:46, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- I edited the description to make it consistent with other languages. Please suggest any changes here. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:17, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

- People mad that Wikipe-tan exists, probably. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 18:28, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, obviously, but how do you edit the media of the day description? Dronebogus (talk) 18:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Anyone can do that before it's on the main page, apparently (it's protected once it's on the main page). —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- That would seem to imply Q28 did it, since nobody else edited the page? Dronebogus (talk) 18:34, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Ooh, does this mean I can choose MOTD for June 21st, since it's my upcoming birthday? LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 18:37, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Home page layout
Hi, the layout has been broken with the last change, I'm using the skin Vector 2022, boxes are overlapping the Tool menu on the right of the page, (preview). Can someone fix it, please?--Pạtạfisik 06:49, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- CC @AntiCompositeNumber: --Pạtạfisik 06:51, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Looks fine to me. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 17:47, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
ːSomething is wrong here. Whenever I try to get into a category with categoryːfoo, I am placed into the images related to that category instead of the category page. I seems to have something to do with the international phonetic alphabetic icon that shows up. I even shows up when I try to sign this message when I try to sign it with four tildes, so I am unable to do so.
MOTD (May 8, 2023)
The caption for today's MOTD sounds quite promotional, not to mention that the file itself is subject to an active deletion request. The file should be swapped out or at least the caption changed to be more neutral; the MOTD should not be a vehicle for advertising. Yeeno (talk) 00:15, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Images Sounds Videos ... and?
On the home page is a sub-menu: "Images Sounds Videos". We need to add to this "Documents", "3D models" and "Data" (possibly splitting the latter into "tabular data" and "map data"; see Commons:Data). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 04:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Administrators: Please apply <nowiki> or {{Tl}} to the tag after the request is fulfilled.
Please replace (see code) this:
with this:
--Pierpao.lo (listening) 12:41, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
I agree with this change; apart from 1) it doesn't include 3D models and 2) we still need to change the three-word entry higher up the page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:54, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Caption for Media of the Day
It appears that captions for Media of the Day have stopped being shown, or being entered. This has happened within the last week or so. Can anybody say if it is deliberate? Or is it a language selection thing? The captions are needed. Cheers. Rsteen (talk) 04:09, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
- It looks like they stopped being entered – yesterday’s caption was entered at 16:32 UTC yesterday, so it was missing for 16.5 hours. For the remaining few days of September, all files and captions have been entered by now. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 12:18, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
