Disambiguation pages?[edit]

I've noticed a few disambiguation pages have popped up in the recents section. Shouldn't these be removed? Sounder Bruce 01:37, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So long as this remains a vanity thing for a small handful of editors and not a community effort, it's going to take until 2044 to reach 50,000 articles last I checked. Perhaps someone was making a good faith effort to stave off the embarrassment. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:37, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to correct me, but at the pace I'm noticing now, it's more like 2053. Pathetic. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 11:26, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Archive 15[edit]

In Wikipedia:The 50,000 Challenge/Archive 15 8497 my article was deleted due to notability. There is no way that the article can be created I see as the article is about a local mayor. The template said to ask here about changing it so just thought id make this aware Masohpotato (talk) 21:09, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The lag[edit]

The lag on this page is too much. I can't make any additions because the cursor is going in-between the lines. We need to start pulling out every 500 articles insteadnof every 1000. Roasted (talk) 18:14, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
