About the name

WordPress.org is mostly confused with WordPress.com, which as we know are two different services, then the best is to rename the article as WordPress.org. Machibito (talk) 01:27, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Machibito: Wordpress.org is a redirect to this page. There are only 13 visits through that redirect in the last 90 days, which may indicate that people aren't coming through the redirect (though inwiki searches for WordPress.org will show this article not the redirect). Additionally, the hatnotes on both pages should suffice in directing readers to the article they want. Given that this is a highly trafficked page, do open a requested move discussion if you wish to nominate the move. – robertsky (talk) 04:08, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Link update.

There is a dead link (151) for the trademark transfer to the non-profit in 2010. There is a reasonable article from 2022 discussing this at https://skybrant.com/journey-of-the-wordpress-website-trademark/ Linuxboytoo (talk) 03:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Impact and Considerations of Recent WordPress Core Updates

I believe it is crucial for us to reflect on these updates and discuss how they align with the evolving needs of WordPress users and the development community.

WordPress 6.3 further develops the Full Site Editing (FSE) capabilities, allowing users to manage and customize more aspects of their site without needing custom code. These changes improve accessibility for non-developers but may also impact more experienced developers by limiting customization flexibility.

Is this an edit request? Alexeyevitch^(talk) 12:06, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 December 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at WordPress. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

In the History section change the following:

As of May 2021, WordPress is used by 64.8% of all the websites whose content management system is known, and 41.4% of the top 10 million websites

to the following:

As of May 2021, WordPress is used by 62.0% of all the websites whose content management system is known, and 41.4% of the top 10 million websites

Changes made: decreased 64.8% to 62.0% according to the mentioned source: https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/content_management Feketegy (talk) 12:59, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Does the 41.4% of the top 10 million websites part also need to be updated? I don't see that figure in the cited source. – Anne drew 23:48, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
