== December 2025 ==
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello. I have noticed that you {{usertalk other|[https://xtools.wmflabs.org/editsummary/en.wikipedia.org/{{urlencode:Iftekharrr|PATH}} often]|often}} edit without using an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. Please do your best to {{strong|always fill in the summary field}}. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the “prompt me when entering a blank edit summary” box in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|your preferences]]. Thanks! <!– Template:Uw-editsummary2 –> [[User:BlockArranger|BlockArranger]] ([[User talk:BlockArranger|talk]]) 19:12, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
Hey there! I noticed this change you made on the Bluesky article. I sorta reverted it because it was unclear why a short description, the two navigational hatnotes to similarly named articles, and spelling/date format maintenance templates had to be removed. These elements are not uncommon in Wikipedia articles, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#Order of article elements. “This article is about the social media service. Its owner known as Bluesky Social, PBC” is already mentioned by the opening paragraph and infobox, did you mean to change the short description (currently Social media service)? If so, please see the short description info page, it is supposed to be brief. Sorry for any inconvenience! Feel free to reply or post a message on my talk page if you need any help.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Institute of Policy Studies (Pakistan), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English.

Many infoboxes have additional stylistic conventions, such as not naming parents or other relatives in biographical infoboxes unless they are notable (loosely speaking, have a Wikipedia article about them).
