Project update: A pre-alpha implementation of APARKS new tabs

Hey everyone! Who ever is here or around. In my sandbox, User:Adog/sandbox2, I have finally finished a general type-out of some of the rough-rough ideas from here, and here. It took six months right? I did not put in the new UI GoneIn60 created into the sandbox yet, however, you can view that right here. In the sandbox, you can find two new banners, a research guide, a perennial sources list, a start to some new changes to the collaboration tab (maybe the barnstars can be merged or a two-level system), and finally the thing that needs to most scrutinization: a non-official APARKS notability guide. I took most of the ideas from previous discussions, and from my readings on guide after guide. It is mostly aimed at new users, and attempts to solve some problems regarding the limbo system of information inclusion. If anything is wrong, feel free to edit it for anything: grammar, functional idea changes, an idea you wanna throw in there, delete whatever does not feel right. Hopefully these can be rolled out by the end of the year, and what else we have not thought of yet.

Forewarn, it is a lot of information. If you are not into that stuff skip this post, but, I would appreciate your help with our project's future. Adog (Talk・Cont) 11:26, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Potential issues on Disney and Universal-related pages

Hello. A few days ago, I just discovered some IPs who have been blanking some content on Disney and Universal theme park-related articles and templates without explanation (some of the edits can be found here, here, here and here). I suspect it's a dynamic IP, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts on what should be done? Thanks. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:18, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is likely these edits are by Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Quebec_Disney_Hoaxer. To add to this the article Storybook Land Canal Boats seems to have quite a large amount of subtle vandalism as per WP:SNEAKY. Otchiman (talk) 15:36, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

T Express retracking

T Express underwent a retracking a few months or so ago AFAIK by RMC dubbed "the iron rebirth" and I've been wondering whether to list the coaster as a wooden or hybrid coaster on the article itself. Technically cause the retracking involved steel stuff I think you can probably call it a hybrid but rcdb still calls it a wooden coaster. More info can be found here regarding the whole retracking situation. Sorry I wasn't able to let y'all know about this earlier cause I was on a several month long hiatus from content work as I had end-of-school-year projects and exams to deal with (it's not easy to edit Wikipedia while knowing that you have two essays and a research paper due the next day). ~Δ _{(delta • t • c)} 21:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I responded there, but in a nutshell, 380 meters of track being converted to steel means that only about 23 percent of the track was impacted. That's less than half, so there's a good chance RCDB won't reclassify this one. We'll have to wait and see, but for now, I think the primary way to list it in the infobox and opening sentence of the lead is "wood" and "wooden roller coaster", respectfully. We can continue the discussion on that talk page. --GoneIn60 (talk) 23:18, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cedar Fair no more!

Well the time has come, and the pending merger between Six Flags and Cedar Fair is nearly complete. Hard to believe, but it is what it is! I know we had that earlier thread above, but dropping another note here about a move discussion that cropped up in case anyone's interested in commenting. Thanks! --GoneIn60 (talk) 16:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 GTA rankings

As an FYI, the 2024 GTA rankings were released today. I only updated the rankings for the top 5 steel and wooden coasters. Since I know @Adog and a bunch of other users typically update the stats, I'm leaving this here if anyone wants to update the other 90 coasters (plus the other rankings in that list). – Epicgenius (talk) 20:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thanks! I haven't had as much time in this realm lately, but if I get the time, I'll lend a hand as well. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 21:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Green Lantern + Millennium Force updates needed

Green Lantern: Recently went defunct and needs to have info additional info about its closing as well as an updated box on the right side of the page.

Millennium Force: USA Today Golden Ticket Awards box is very wide and should be consolidated to a 2-layer box rather than it's current installment of 1 long line.

Help here would be much appreciated! Thanks! Therguy10 (talk) 18:55, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
