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).

I know that articles in 'Category:Mobile games' should be moved to subcategories when possible, but several of your removals of the category seem to be in error and you're not adding the game to relevant subcategories. Here on Around the World in 80 Days (video game) you removed the category as "unsourced" when reviews of the mobile port are sourced in the article and listed in the review table, and same thing here on It's Mr. Pants, and here on True Crime: Streets of LA you removed the category without explaining why when it's sourced & discussed in article.

Hi Waxworker,

Apologies for the late reply. A good portion of my edits for the mobile games category were rushed and made with poor judgement. Usually, I do not like to leave work hanging, so I had wanted to relocate all articles before New Year's Day. That led to me removing categories for nonsensical, unfounded reasons. Feel free to revert any of my edits. Thanks, TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 05:08, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
