Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie
Hi there. I decided to expand the article of Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie but ended up lacking sources about the cast or the making of it. If by any chance you find something could you share it? Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 16:03, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.
The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

About your changes to Ghibli film articles
Hey Sjones23, I've just gone through my watchlist and seen you remove information about several films' producers and distribution companies from their lead sections, most of which I've now put back in. Why? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, there. While I'm reformatting the lead sections using the certain GA and FA articles as references (including those pertaining to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Back to the Future), there are some relevant guidelines and essays including User:Erik/Best practices, WP:LEADSENTENCE and WP:FILMLEAD which could be useful on how we often handle these sections in the film articles.
- There are sources used within quite a few Ghibli-related articles that list Ghibli as the production company and the end credits of Ghibli films often list the studio itself under the "production" section (per Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Film credits glossary#Terms, 制作 means "production") towards the end of said films.
- Of course, we can also ask on the WT:MOSFILM page for additional clarification. I've raised the issue here, if you are interested. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 18:52, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for opening that section, I might join in if I have something to add. In general, I agree that the inclusion of details like the producer(s) or related companies can be decided on a case-by-case basis, but that makes some of your changes on the Ghibli articles even more confusing to me. On Princess Mononoke, for example, you removed the mention of Toshio Suzuki from the lead despite his taking a significant role in the production and promotion of the film. (He was also mentioned later in the lead, which created a problem with his name being used without introduction.) I understand the concern with the terminology used to refer to Studio Ghibli, (they're referred to as the production company in the infobox, for what it's worth) but saying the film was produced by them would obviously create ambiguity with the producer, and most reliable sources primarily discuss it as an animation studio, not a production house, anyway. Hopefully that explains why I've made the reversions I did, and I've left edit summaries with some further detail otherwise. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – April 2025
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2025).

- Sign up for The Core Contest, a competition running from 15 April to 31 May to improve vital articles.
I'm afraid the episode synopses are a bit of a WIP, both because I'm working through season 1 which I have not seen for some time, and because many of them are the sort of back-of-box "synopsis" which doesn't actually tell you the ending. Pinkbeast (talk) 07:33, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, I know. According to WP:TVPLOT, the summaries for the episode lists should be below 200 words. When I do write summaries for these lists, I often use the other anime FLs (such as the ones for Tokyo Mew Mew, One Piece and so on) as models. As a side note, we can ask for further feedback on WT:ANIME; I'm one of the regulars there. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 08:11, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi there. Long ago, a user turned this Devil May Cry episode list into FL. Now that I was reminded me of it due to the Netflix series I wondered if this list had any notable issue. I tried referencing the airdates but sadly the official website used a software that made it impossible to recheck airdates. I tried adding tidbits about production and reception after seeing complaints about the Bleach lists but I am not sure if it's enough. Feel free to review it. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 20:32, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter
The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.
Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:
BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews
In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.
The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Interface administrator changes
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
TV season FLRCs
Hi! I noticed that you've recently opened several FLRCs for articles on TV seasons. I've been working through some of them myself and made a tracker at my user sandbox to help spot lists that may need more urgent attention.
