Usable article gets a recommended article badge
Anyone know why Morelia gets a recommended article badge in Wikidata when it's only a Usablecity? Thanks, Brycehughes (talk) 04:23, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I removed it – guide articles should have the good article batch and star articles should have the featured article batch; Morelia is neither. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 04:30, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Just curious – what did you do? Is there some external list? Brycehughes (talk) 04:48, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If you click "edit", you'll see a bunch of ribbons to the right of each article. Click the ribbon and you can set and unset whatever badges you want. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 04:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Huh, interesting. Must be an admin thing – I don't have them (I don't think). Anyway, cheers, thanks! Brycehughes (talk) 05:09, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries. It isn't an admin-only thing, though (or I don't think it is), as I don't have admin perms on Wikidata (only rollbacker). -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 05:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ohhhh Wikidata... got it. I'm an idiot. I see it now. Brycehughes (talk) 05:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * dw – we all have those moments. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 22:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The discussion of setting ribbons/badges is interesting, but I think the more relevant question is why nobody set Morelia to guide yet. It's a good article with a lot of complete info in just about every section. If it were cleaned up and updated, I think it would make a good candidate for DotM or OtBP.

 * If you believe a Wikivoyage article satisfies the criteria that would make it a guide, just change its status to "guide." No need to complain that no-one else has done the work you want to do. The only status decisions that can't be changed without a prior consensus are to make an article a star or remove the star from it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I plan to set it to guide (when I get around to it), but I'd first like to review it more closely and see if any entries are embarassingly outdated or if we can maybe add some infoboxes or other material that would make it beyond the minimal standards. I'm just saying that *I* thought it was a pretty good article. Cheers! Mrkstvns (talk) 22:00, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Is the badge thing done automatically (by a bot) when someone changes the article's status to guide or featured? Or is it done manual? OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:25, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


 * It's typically manual, but I know that there's a bot who does redirect status badges. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:28, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
