Topic suggestion

If I may make a suggestion, for New Zealand, we have complete lists of honorary doctorates conferred. Maybe that's something to aim for to cover the Australian universities. Schwede66 00:49, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

How to handle Jervis Bay in heritage listings

Hi, I've just created (the semi-finished) Commonwealth Heritage List in the Australian Capital Territory. The CHL lists four JB entries under the ACT.[1] What's the best way to deal with this? (Split out JB to a separate list and add it to the CHL article? use "(including Jervis Bay Territory)" at the ACT article? Leave it as is?) Thanks, ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 08:45, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps move to Commonwealth Heritage List in the Australian Capital Territory and Jervis Bay Territory, then note in the article that the CHL groups them together although they are separate territories? Not sure a standalone list for four items is I T B F 📢 08:55, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

While JBT is technically a separate Commonwealth Territory, for legal, administrative, political and service delivery purposes, it functions as an exclave of the ACT. I think it is reasonable that the JBT entries are included in the ACT listing, but perhaps an explainer in the lead paragraph and footnotes with a caveat for these entries is warranted? I'm not sure 4 entries is really enough to justify a separate article and listing either. Dfadden (talk) 07:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks - done. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 05:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Why not have two lists on the same article? Then you can have each title redirect to the relevant section. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 05:22, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Template:Australian Women and Leadership

Template:Australian Women and Leadership does not appear to work any more, since the Australian Women's Register has been reorganised. Does anyone know how to fix it? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:33, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Some invocations of that template don't work and land on https://www.womenaustralia.info/notice/, but all 5 examples at D:Property:P4186 do work, which leaves me baffled. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps the template should be deleted. GoodDay (talk) 14:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Ping Zyxw as template creator per the version history. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 23:50, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Laterthanyouthink, Michael Bednarek, GoodDay, and Hydronium Hydroxide: Someone broke all these links by changing Template:Australian Women and Leadership to use the wrong URL and Wikidata:Property:P4186, which is not the same identifier. I undid that change and the links using this template should work again. -- Zyxw (talk) 13:26, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Oh thanks very much Zyxw. I've reinstated it on the page I was working on and it's fine now. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 23:06, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Trouble with Wayback Machine

Hi all This isn't a specifically WP question, but I have been finding for months now that Wayback Machine is not allowing me to archive a web page, unless I first click on "Newest" (via the icon in my Firefox toolbar) and only when there is no existing page, then I can go through the rigmarole of saving on the new page. It used to allow me to click on the "Save Page Now" option, but these days it invariably either says that the page is not allowed to be saved, or indicates that it's saving, but when I look for it, it is not there.

Has anyone else come across this, and/or does anyone have any fix suggestions? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:13, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

• There are alternatives such as archive.today which do the same job, although you can't save pages to your account as you can with IA. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 10:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
