National variations of the English language have been extensively discussed previously: Misplaced Pages does not prefer any national variety of English. While Misplaced Pages strives to use language common to all English varieties, some spelling, grammar, or terminology may differ or be absent in a reader's preferred variety. Refer to the relevant style guide on national varieties of English and see a comparison of American and British English.

• Where is the error? An exact quotation of the text in question helps.
• Offer a correction if possible.
• References are helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error.
• Time zones. The Main Page runs on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, currently 23:45 on 14 January 2025) and is not adjusted to your local time zone.
• Can you resolve the problem yourself? If the error lies primarily in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, fix the problem there before reporting it here. Text on the Main Page generally defers to the articles with bolded links. Upcoming content on the Main Page is usually only protected from editing beginning 24 hours before its scheduled appearance. Before that period, you can be bold and fix any issues yourself.
• Do not use {{edit fully-protected}} on this page, which will not get a faster response. It is unnecessary, because this page is not protected, and causes display problems. (See the bottom of this revision for an example.)
• No chit-chat. Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as the talk page of the relevant article or project.
• Respect other editors. Another user wrote the text you want changed, or reported an issue they see in something you wrote. Everyone's goal should be producing the best Main Page possible. The compressed time frame of the Main Page means sometimes action must be taken before there has been time for everyone to comment. Be civil to fellow users.
• Reports are removed when resolved. Once an error has been addressed or determined not to be an error, or the item has been rotated off the Main Page, the report will be removed from this page. Check the revision history for a record of any discussion or action taken; no archives are kept.

sidebar link wikisource

Has been showing both "Wikisource" and "Multilingual Wikisource" lately. Should be only either one. 184.98.3.96 (talk) 20:27, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

It was added at Wikidata in by Liuxinyu970226. At Misplaced Pages:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1100#Request to remove "Multilingual Wikisource" link from Main page template he opposed removal at Wikidata. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't feel strongly about it but it's not completely silly to list both. The multilingual Wikisource is a distinct project of its own, not just a front page, and both the English and multilingual Wikisource have material relevant to English-speaking Misplaced Pages readers. Texts in multiple languages, which might include English, are often found at the multilingual Wikisource: see Stelae of Pepi-Sennefer for a random example. @PrimeHunter: You mention in the discussion you linked that Misplaced Pages, Wiktionary, and Wikisource are the only projects with multilingual front pages—Wikisource is as far as I know the only one with a multilingual project, not just a front page. —Nizolan 13:02, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Multilingual Wikisource is not a distinct project (at least that's not what is linked to): The link is to the front page of wikisource and when you're there and click on "English," you get to the exact same page that you get when you click on the wikisource-link that's also on the sidebar. You don't do that kind of double-listing for wiktionary, wikivoyage, wikinews, wikiquote, wikiveristy (they all have front pages with the logo in the middle and language-links in a circle). 184.98.3.96 (talk) 15:08, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

No, it is a distinct project: I already gave an example of a page there, and more info is available at the Multilingual Wikisource Community Portal. (Not to suggest that's a reason to keep the link, just explaining—and we can't really do anything from Misplaced Pages about them using the language index as their front page.) —Nizolan 15:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
