Yesterday, I learned something new that I have never heard about before, and it was interesting for me.
So I think maybe we could have a thread about Wikipedia curiosities posted in the format of "did you know".
I'll try to start:
Did you know that Newyorkbrad (T-C-L) used to support RfAs with sonnets while Proofreader77 (T-C-L) was blocked indefinitely for writing this sonnet?

I wish this thread had taken off....I have no examples, but I've seen more and more articles flagged from years ago and the dispute was left hanging; some of them go back as far as 2009.

Re: Wikipedia curiosities. Did you know?
Good job, opening sentence, "Articles that consist of a list of things that are themselves about lists of things, such as the lists of lists listed below...."
And they're not. The first few are just lists, not lists of lists.
