Bad page creations

@Ikan Kekek, I saw that you had to delete a bunch of straight-up vandalism pages created by a temporary account. Is that a common problem, or a one-off thing? WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:51, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

It's not uncommon. Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:04, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

How do people add userboxes to their profiles?

How do you guys add userboxes to your profile? I want to add some to my page, but I can't figure it out. Dirkdays (talk) 17:37, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

Sorry if this isn't a good question Dirkdays (talk) 17:37, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

It's a fine question. If you want to add userboxes about language proficiency, that is a built-in feature of the software. Just add {{#babel:code-number|code-number}}. E.g. on my page, I have {{#babel:en|es-2|de-1|pt-1}}. Note how if you are a native speaker, you can leave off the number. If you want userboxes that are unrelated, you can our fairly modest collection here. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:33, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

Yes. A Babel box is appreciated. Otherwise we don't do userboxes like Wikipedia. See Wikivoyage:User page help and the user pages of some active contributors. –LPfi (talk) 20:12, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

ohhhhh :-) TYSM! Dirkdays (talk) 15:24, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

I'm struggling with creating a babel that's xx-0 for ka (Georgian). It keeps saying that I know a native amount of Georgian, but I don't Dirkdays (talk) 15:35, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

This did it. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:57, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

thank you <:-) Dirkdays (talk) 15:26, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

@Dirkdays, do you have any questions on how to edit articles? You can pick on a page that you previously visited (maybe even from few years ago), especially if we don't have a lot of information about it (such as Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe, most of Asia and South America). Even simple things like confirming that the price of attractions, restaurants and hotel nights will help. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 20:25, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
