The names variable is a variable, not a list... So with every input, it replaces the text that u entered before. To fix this just instantly append them;

students= []
for inputs in range(0, 10):
    students.append(input("enter name: "))
    
print(students)

First you should make a list. Then get inputs 10 times and append them into the list ten times. (One name each time)

students = []
for i in range(10):
    name = input("enter one name: ")
    students.append(name)
print(students)

Or you can have this inline version:

students = [input("enter one name: ") for i in range(10)]
print(students)

If you want to input all the names in one input, suppose that you seperate the names with , character, as much as you want:

students = input("enter names: ").split(',')

you are overriding you own value of names in the for loop, and then insert it only once, after the loop, to the list. append should be in the loop

students= []
for inputs in range(0, 10):
    names=input("enter names: ")
    students.append(names)
    
print(students)

This should help you:

students= []
for inputs in range(0, 10):
    name=input("enter name: ")
    students.append(name)
print(students)
