Desaturated colours[edit]

Hello, I'm having an issue where certain templates and recent changes are super desaturated. I checked my .cs and .jss and deleted anything that looked like it could be the issue, but nothing worked. I also tried looking at my userpage while logged out and booting Firefox in troubleshooting mode, which also didn't help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

If the attachments are to illustrate desaturation, they don't look desaturated to me. Can you provide links instead of screenshots? This could be your local computer's display issue possibly? Podstawko ●talk 07:07, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They look fine to me. File:Desaturated template.png looks like User:Fauzannaufan. File:Desaturated recent changes.png looks like Special:RecentChanges after I chose "Likely have problems" and enabled both settings under "Revision scoring on Recent changes and Related changes" at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc.

@Podstawko@PrimeHunter Thanks, it was a display issue. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 16:35, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

cc template to use[edit]

Hi Folks!! What template would I use for "CC BY-SA 2.0 Deed" for the image at File:Loch a' Ghille Ghobaich.jpg Thanks. scope_creep^Talk 13:09, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean this file? It appears to be Public domain owing to its date, in its original location in the Hunterian Museum. (Click on the image the Commons search gives to see the details). Mike Turnbull (talk) 14:26, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is on Commons already with the rather unhelpful name c:File:William York MacGregor (1855-1923) - Loch a' Ghille Ghobaich, Morar - GLAHA-43943 - Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery.jpg. Mike Turnbull (talk) 14:30, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael D. Turnbull: No, That is a different image. I upload another image from geograph. It has the CC BY-SA 2.0 Deed cc licence but can't find the template on here that fits that licence. scope_creep^Talk 18:48, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Scope_creep, the text "Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0" produced by Template:Cc-by-sa-2.0 links to https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/, which says "CC BY-SA 2.0 Deed" in real big text near the top. Folly Mox (talk) 22:42, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that @Folly Mox: :) scope_creep^Talk 23:14, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of Releases by the Criterion Collection (REMOVED?!)[edit]

Please restore the above Wikipedia page! It makes no sense to remove it.

Where they have removed informative and useful Wiki pages, they will, in the end, remove human beings. 72.69.54.236 (talk) 14:03, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have read the above message. I will reply when I have a moment. NotAGenious (talk) 14:07, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The comment above is a bit extreme to say the least and is not accurate in any manner. There was a discussion at Afd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Criterion Collection releases (2nd nomination) and the consensus was it was unsuitable for Wikipedia and was deleted. Wikipedia is not a catalogue. scope_creep^Talk 14:13, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thank you for the link to the explanation. Am saddened about the result, but cannot offer up a better reason for restoring the page other than what was already said in the linked discussion. 72.69.54.236 (talk) 22:19, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How to use post and write something[edit]

can I have a demonstration of it Samson Ngasuban Ekuwam (talk) 18:34, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Samson Ngasuban Ekuwam: You've already done so by posting this. Unless you meant something else? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:06, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
