Since yesterday, the page for March (which used to have the events since the first day rather than the last 7 days) is blanked, showing instead the link to month inclusion. I guess something wrong happened there. G.J.S. (talk) 18:57, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

G.J.S., thank you for the report. Could you please be more specific? Please include links to where you see an issue when reporting problems. The page Portal:Current events/March 2026 looks fine to me. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:45, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see the problem now. The page is over the post-expand include limit. There’s too much content, for whatever reason. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:54, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way in which I could see the raw content or is it just a matter of time until it’s up again? I used to read that every day but spent a lot of time without seeing that and then found the page blanked G.J.S. (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Checking on Special:ExpandTemplates, {{Portal:Current events/Month Inclusion|2026 February}} produces 1352 lines, ~227 KB of wikitext; whereas {{Portal:Current events/Month Inclusion|2026 March}} gives 1834, ~315 KB of wikitext. A solution would be to trim down the pages at Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Current events/2026 March. —⁠andrybak (talk) 20:08, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. G.J.S. (talk) 20:11, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

For convenience, here are the page sizes of all 2026 March subpages:

—⁠andrybak (talk) 20:20, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a fix without any trimming needed.[1] Previously the content for each day was counted twice towards WP:PEIS because it was passed through a template. I transcluded the days directly instead. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:36, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that there is an intermediary template {{Portal:Current events/Month Inclusion}} causes the post-expand size to be double counted? What a weird quirk… —⁠andrybak (talk) 20:56, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It’s documented at Help:Template limits#Nested transclusions. The main purpose of template limits is to reduce server load and I guess the server load does increase when a lot of content is passed around multiple times. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:26, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The {{Current events}} template, used by each day’s sub-page, accepts an alternative syntax that roughly halves the PEIS. It was missing from the template documentation. — John of Reading (talk) 06:54, 29 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be helpful if User:Cyberbot I used the alternative syntax when creating new pages? Latest example: Special:Permalink/1350471791 (2026 April 23). —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:13, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would. I’ve just made some edits to take Portal:Current events/December 2024 and Portal:Current events/September 2025 out of the overflow category. I guess they’ve been broken for months.– John of Reading (talk) 06:31, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You may be interested in this wish which I think is highly related to the Current events portal: W384: ‘Articles that fit your interests & were recently edited a lot / got updated’ module in the Wikipedia app (voting open).

Basically, this would enable you to see articles on things where there are some recent changes such as things about ongoing & recent events (eg got often updated a lot the last week) or for example scientific subjects you’re interested in that got updated with new knowledge (eg a section was added a few weeks ago about a new subtopic). Not just any article of that sort but articles that relate to one’s interests which one can configure in the Recommended Reading list’s Interests page.

Hi wiki mates,

I would love to write an interesting article on a current event subject needing coverage but blanking out on what at the moment.

Any suggestions? Henderson Barbara (talk) 05:53, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Read through the discussions at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates. You’ll find articles needing coverage there. —⁠andrybak (talk) 11:08, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This needs to stop and should have been removed and banned. This is not a place for Chinese propaganda.
