WikiRoom
Welcome to the WikiRoom, a hub of activity that shows everything going on in the Wiki.
Vandalism
Vandalism is quite a problem here, and I am some of the dedicated people who try to clean it up.
To see what's going on, look at some of the diffs on recent changes page.
See Special:Newpages for the pages created today.
If a vandal is causing trouble, get the big guns.
XFDs
Currently we have several things being considered for deletion, and you can vote on them!
For even more, see WP:XFD.
For debates going on, see Category:Articles for deletion, Category:Wikipedia templates for deletion, and Category:Miscellaneous pages for deletion.
Admin lounge
Welcome to the admin lounge, the section for the administrators.
- Right now vandals are on the loose, and you can check on them.
- There are some pretty raunchy names registered to Wikipedia, and you can view reports here.
- Some people need your help, and there are some pretty crazy things going on.
- Halt some edit warriors.
- Some people are saying their block is un-justified, and you can check on them and review that.
- A handful of pages meet our criteria for speedy deletion, and you can review them.
Essays
Essays are project pages or user subpages that reflect the opinion of it's author(s). Essays are not policies or guidelines. I've created the essay Wikipedia:Don't readd removed comments.
A list of essays can be found here.
New articles
New articles are being created, a list of the newest articles can be found here.
You can patrol the list of new articles and tag the ones that meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion for speedy deletion. Here's a list of some of the tags:
- {{db-bio}}
- {{db-attack}}
- {{db-nonsense}}
- {{db-test}}

Templates
It seems like there's a template for everything...from vandalism to using the preview button. Here is a list of them!
![]() | This page is under the stewardship of WikiProject user warnings; changes to it should reflect consensus. If you are planning to make any significant changes, please discuss them first at the centralized talk page. |
![]() | If you've never used a particular template before, or have not used it recently, read it (e.g., with preview) to ensure it actually says what you want to say. If you are new to user warning templates, please read the usage and layout page first. If you want to design a new template, please read the guidelines found on the design guidelines page first. |
