Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.

How do I create citations?

1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Categories

You seem to be adding less-specific categories to a number of musicians. At Tink (musician), you added Category:American women rappers. But she was already categorized in Category:African-American women rappers. This is contrary to WP:CATSPECIFIC. Is there a reason for this? Thank you.

Category:African-American women rappers is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:American women rappers. See WP:DUPCAT for more details. If this reasoning still goes against WP:CATSPECIFIC, then I'll help undo what I did. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 23:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

How on earth is that a non-diffusing subcategory? It's literally a more-specific category of a less-specific category. Literally. It's right there in the title of each category. It would be like adding "American actors" and "Chinese-American actors" to the same bio. One is literally a sub-category of the other. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:59, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Okay. I'll revert my edits. Sorry for the confusion! - OpalYosutebito (talk) 00:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

So from what I gathered, Category:American rappers isn't non-diffusing in the same way that categories like Category:2007 films should contain all films from 2007, right? Interesting... - OpalYosutebito (talk) 00:09, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on categories. It's just that this example is painfully obvious. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:15, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Yeah... again, sorry for the confusion. I'll try not to overcategorize pages from now on, even if they're part of a non-diffusing category. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 00:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Magnolia677 Likewise, I've also been removing the category "American male rappers" from the "African-American male rappers" pages for the same reason as before - OpalYosutebito (talk) 21:33, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
