Photos of planted bus shelters

Hi! I added a few photos I took of bus shelter plantings in Paris last year to commons and wasn't sure how to add them to your climate photo project (or if they're useful to you?). They are in a few categories. This is the smallest: https://w.wiki/Ds5b H0n0r (talk) 22:37, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Tolarian Community College

On 21 April 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tolarian Community College, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Magic: The Gathering YouTube channel Tolarian Community College has raised more than US$1.5 million for the suicide-prevention hotline Trans Lifeline? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tolarian Community College. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Tolarian Community College), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Update: New Event-Organizer Tools for You on English Wikipedia!

Hello,

I hope you're doing well! As an event coordinator on English Wikipedia, I’m happy to share some news with you. You now have the event-organizer right! This gives you access to the CampaignEvents extension, a powerful set of tools to help you organize and promote events and WikiProjects more easily. With the CampaignEvents extension, you can:

• Manage event registration directly on English Wikipedia.
• Use the Invitation List tool to find potential participants for your events/WikiProjects
• Receive automatic promotion of your events via the Collaboration List

Learn more on mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents

Now that I have your attention, I’d also like to share some updates to the extension:

• The Collaboration List can now be transcluded, meaning you can easily embed it on other wiki pages to share event details with more people by adding {{Special:AllEvents}}. Learn more.
• Admins can now determine which namespaces are permitted for Event Registration on English Wikipedia, via Special:CommunityConfiguration. Right now, the Event namespace is permitted by default for Event Registration. However, other namespaces (such as Wikipedia, WikiProject, etc) can now be added as permitted namespaces by admins too. This can help other types of organized activities, such as WikiProjects, use Event Registration.For details, please visit: Permitted_namespaces

If you need help using these new tools, I’m here to support you. Feel free to reach out for guidance. You can also find some useful video guides on Commons.

We’re excited to see how you use these tools for WikiProjects or events! If you have any questions, please let me know.
