[edit]

Hi! Thank you for your work confirming results! Just a small question - isn't it 9 support votes? (not 8) Perhaps the supporting vote 17:12, 24 August disappeared? I know the picture is Featured, but to make everything correct... can I change the number? // Zquid (talk) 16:49, 1 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for reporting it; before fixing it, I'm going to check why this additional vote wasn't counted. Wilfredor (talk) 17:00, 1 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps not starting with "Support"...? //

However, I wouldn't want to break the logic of the engine that handles this; perhaps I need to improve the regular expression so that it simply counts the voting templates regardless of their location, provided they aren't inside `nowiki` tags. Wilfredor (talk) 17:55, 1 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
You were right, and so was your guess. The vote at 17:12, 24 August was cast mid-sentence in a sub-thread (*::Thanks, {{s}} now.) and the parser only looked for the template at the start of the line, so it never reached the classifier. Fixed: the line now only has to be a bullet, the scan steps over templates that are not votes (a {{u|Name}} before the vote used to discard the whole line), and a template shown inside <nowiki> or is ignored, so explaining how to vote does not count as voting. Votes cast in a sub-thread are now also named in the closing panel, because they were being counted in silence. I have corrected the nomination to 9 supports; the result does not change. Thank you for checking. Wilfredor (talk) 10:30, 4 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

POTD for 2028 July 22

[edit]

Hi there! I was wondering if you would be open to rescheduling this image's POTD apperance, because there is a widely visible total solar eclipse on this day. I was hoping to nominate this recently promoted image of a solar eclipse for this date. No worries if you're not up for it though. —brainandforce yap 20:06, 2 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yes, feel free to reschedule for another day; you can choose the day yourself. No problem Wilfredor (talk) 21:43, 2 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
