WP Cleaner error
Hi, I've never used WP Cleaner, so I'm not sure how it works, but it appears to have been involved in an error in an edit you recently made. Here, you changed the DAB link DragCon to Drag Convention, a nonexistent page. I hope the tool isn't malfunctioning if it's suggesting redlinks. The right link would have been RuPaul's DragCon LA. Thanks, Armadillopteryx 21:38, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- There was no evidence in the article that the correct links was to the DragCon in Los Angeles. So I decided to remove the link to a disambiguation page by letting it link to "Drag Convention". But I will correct it. The Banner talk 08:04, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
- Ow, you had already figured out how to do it. Could you please check where you are linking at in the future? The Banner talk 08:11, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't write that article or put the DAB link there myself, but yes, I'm careful when I link. Also be careful that if you create a page, the title should use sentence case (Drag convention), not WP:TITLECASE (Drag Convention).
- Regarding this, what bot are we fooling, and why? Armadillopteryx 11:52, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- We are fooling dplbot, who produces maintenance list like Articles With Multiple Dablinks and Templates with disambiguation links. The last one is nearly empty, the first one contains more than 20,000 articles. Effect of this trick is that dplbot does not see a disambiguation page but a redirect, effectively removing the article out of the list. For the readers, it will have hardly any visible effect, as you end op at the desired disambiguation page (just an easy to overlook sentence under the title). For the maintenance volunteer, it means shorter lists resulting in better moral and more time for solving of real links to disambiguation pages. I hope you are willing to assist in this maintenance task. The Banner talk 12:08, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Makes sense. I was not familiar with DPL bot before. I wonder if there is a way to program the bot to know that a page is a DAB page even if its title doesn't contain "disambiguation"—there are many such pages, after all. Armadillopteryx 12:15, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- We are winning the battle, slowly but steady. The Banner talk 12:32, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

ANI
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Wielding the Salmoninae?. Thank you. Guy (help! - typo?) 17:50, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
- Your choice of words is interesting. I had to look up what "goaded" means (English is not my first language) but it indeed describes properly how I feel. I decided to leave the article for a while now it is protected. Sadly, I expect a restart of the edits war after the protection expires. The Banner talk 18:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Notice
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Incidents#Inserting the word "notable" into a subject definition. The discussion is about your addition of the word "notable" to the definition of cheminformatic toolkits in the article Cheminformatics toolkits. Thank you. Eissink (talk) 13:54, 16 October 2020 (UTC).
- You are predictable. The Banner talk 16:44, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Equally predictable. Sorry that took so long. The PA's were worthless and the entire thread was pointless. It could not have felt pleasant for you. I hope that this ends the disruption to you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:25, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- I expect more misery when he starts appealing the block. When he will loose that, he will move to another Wiki to cause mayhem. But for now the mess is over and I am glad with that. The Banner talk 18:40, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- And about his creativity with the truth: he claimed that Cheminformatics toolkits was kept, while in fact Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Cheminformatics toolkits was closed as no consensus, what is something different. Enfin, I go back to hunting links to disambiguation pages. That is more fun... The Banner talk 18:47, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Some advice
Let them keep shooting themselves in the foot without your help. EEng 14:13, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- I have no doubt that he is able to do that. I only replied there because he seems more and more to be prompted by the indef blocked user. The Banner talk 14:24, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- If you're not careful you'll play into the scenario that you're harassing them and gravedancing. You have the community's sympathy because of their tonedeaf, clueless behavior; keep it that way by not making unnecessary comments. EEng 14:38, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
