AfD for XenMan

I made an AfD for XenMan over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XenMan, and I figured that you all might want to know. Any thoughts? GrinningIodize (talk) 22:46, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Request for assistance updating Mermaid Chart page

Hello, I've proposed updates to the Mermaid Chart article on its Talk page but haven't received feedback.

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Request for input – Fortran

There is a discussion at Talk:Fortran on a long-term issue over the addition of Modern Fortran Explained to the further reading section, even without a link to the online seller. MrOllie considers it spam; a whole host of temporary accounts from an offwiki thread have defended the prestige of the book within the Fortran community and this has, perhaps unsurprisingly, made AN/I. I have said we need to focus this discussion on its substance—is this book one of the standard references on Fortran that should be under further reading?—rather than how the editors have behaved.

So, editors with relevant expertise in Fortran are invited to come and weighh in. Daniel Case (talk) 19:01, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
