| I have done a great deal of work on {{tl|In-universe}} and its subtemplates. They used to be connected templates, and in late December 2008 ] started grouping them as subtemplates of {{tl|In-universe}}. His work, as important a step forward as it was, had many shortcommings. I spent a few hours on them today. I added one template, fixed one category, nominated one template for deletion. I made a centralised documentation page for all the templates, and had the old documentaton pages deleted. I renamed most of the templates to have full names, that should be analogous to the categories. I completely eliminated the use of all but one of the redirects. | |||
| ] | |||
| My problem is that the old template names created by ], who are now almost all renamed, have the same <nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</nowiki> as the new names. That makes them show up in the documentation of {{tl|In-universe}}, which uses ]. Although in general we keep redirects, in this case I would like to delete the redirects. In order to have a short list on {{tl|In-universe}}, without any redirects. If you ] agree with me, could you take care of it? ] (]) 04:37, 4 October 2009 (UTC) | |||

| == Pantheism == | |||
| Hi, long time no see ;) I'm not familiar with the "right thing to do" when there is a conflict with a user. I've been reading the Pantheism article and related articles because in the intro it states that pantheism is distinct from atheism. when I read clear definition of atheism, theism, pantheism an associated external references, I can clearly and quickly come to the conclusion that pantheism has indeed to do with atheism. (I mean a reference such as "Pantheism is simply Atheism" in the catholic encyclopedia is very clear). This user (anon) has also removed a tag I put there regarding the ambiguity, and highly suspect this section to completely his OR. He then calls his own revert Vandalism and accuses me :O. I'd like you to take a look and see what needs to be done to improve teh article and get rid of these inconsistencies.] ] 12:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Actually there was also ] (just being pedantic). Thank you for engaging me in the first discussion you linked by the way. The latter link you provide is to me a black hole. If I could do it myself, I would and it would already be done. I think it's vital but you leave a post and no one with any ability to ''do'' the edit comes along and peopel think it's already addressed when it's not at all so you're just talking to yourself. The last user is missing the point. I think it's pretty clear the automation has led to the current warning situation and Twinkle doesn't address the problem. Unfortunately it's the nature of the beast when you can only suggest with a general description because of your own technical limitations. I could structure it to target the problem and take care of it I think but I can't write the program to implement any vision I have. As to my main gripe, you're right, it wasn't on Twinkle's talk page (predominantly). It started (no response), so went , and then ], and through that I was able to get the attention and feedback to do , which lists all the templates I creates so that tailored warnings could be implemented through Twinkle. Without the TfD I don't think I could have gotten it done. More basically, I'm griping about how hard it is to get something like this implemented second hand which is my own failing. Maybe I need to start taking Java programming courses!--] (]) 23:39, 19 October 2009 (UTC) | |||

I was mainly surprised by your comment since I recalled discussing with you about those tailored CSD notification templates and all seemed to be OK, and generally try to ''not'' let comments be completely ignored. I do have to weigh between usefulness of a feature and outstanding problems and the time I want to spend on Twinkle, so a number of good proposals are slumbering in the archives, but small tweaks and bugs are typically implemented rather quickly (or used to up until a month or so ago).<br>Cheers, ] 16:59, 15 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Not an official feature request yet, I just created {{tl|wmnc}} to satisfy the issues mentioned - and maybe someday it will be welcomed into Friendly - but for the time being I am wondering if there is a suggested way I could code it in there myself. In other words, can I either extend the friendly code by doing something local (in monobook for example) or can I copy the entire friendly code and modify it? Thanks as always for your wisdom. ] 07:15, 10 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| : Yes, see the Friendly documentation ]. Your template doesn't take any parameters so you won't have any issues, like Floquenbeam had a couple sections down (see also ] for an example). ] 16:12, 15 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

| I agree that Aoi got inadvertently caught up in a edit-war - they should have known better than to misuse reverts, but given their assurances and previous good record I've unblocked. However, I can't agree to unblocking either {{User|Ophois}} or {{User|Thewtfchronicles}}; both have a history of blocks for edit-warring, neither seems to accept that they were edit-warring, Ophois has been revert-warring elsewhere too (, ), and Thewtfchronicles had just been warned about their increasingly problematic behaviour at ]. I hope this helps to clarify. ]<sup>]</sup> 11:55, 13 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

| ::Heh, seems we've got three conversations going on at once, so I'll stick to here. Thanks for your input - reviews of my admin actions are always welcome :) I normally post a link to the ANI thread when a block results from it, but as most of these were only peripherally related I didn't bother. I also normally protect a page in preference to blocking, but as the reverting at ] had largely died off but the edit-warring extended across multiple articles, I thought blocks would be the 'least harm to Misplaced Pages' solution. Again though, thank you for your comments (and I was perhaps harsh, so Aoi probably owes you a "thank you" too!) ]<sup>]</sup> 12:32, 13 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Amalthea, | |||
| Thanks much for the tweak to my monobook. I can't understand the syntax of what you did, but I can now leave a {{tl|welcome-test}} without a linked article, and this is fine for my purposes. <s>In case it interests you and you enjoy fiddling with this stuff, it still does not add a link to an article, even if I type it in the box at the top of the menu (that box works for the standard templates).</s> But to reiterate, I'm quite happy now, so no fiddling is needed if the puzzle doesn't intrigue you. | |||

| : It does intrigue, as I said at ] the custom template lists would need to be extended to allow passing of meta information, such as whether a template accepts parameters or has a built-in signature to allow this and avoid problems like you had with it.<br>Cheers, ] 16:16, 15 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == Friendly == | |||
| Listen, I know you fix a lot of friendly and twinkle scripts. According to ], when an individual removes or adds tags to an article, the edit should not be marked as minor, but friendly does. Could you fix it? ] 19:03, 14 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| : Hmm. I fixed it by removing the recommendation from the help page. This was brought up twice before at ], I don't think there was ever a consensus for that addition to ]: There's some sparse, ongoing discussion on its talk page since 2007, it was {{diff2|277810447|added early 2009}} by a now-banned editor, and I for one don't think that such a blanket recommendation makes sense. In particular with new page patrolling, I don't consider any added Friendly tags as major edits. It certainly is a different story with older, more established articles, I would agree with you that addition of tags should not be called minor. Then again, in my opinion Friendly shouldn't be used to tag any established articles anyway: Pointing out issues on the talk page or, if possible, just fixing them makes way more sense with older article with many revisions and authors, where the categorization isn't that helpful, issues are typically not as clear-cut or undisputed, and drive-by tagging understandably angers the main editors of those articles a bit anyway.<br>Any user can already change his Friendly configuration to not mark taggings as minor. We could also add a checkbox to display and toggle the status in the Friendly window.<br>Feel free to discuss this or ask for more opinions at ] though.<br>Cheers, ] 15:08, 15 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

| I would like your feedback on the syntax for {{tl|if pagename}}, since we are now deploying that template among others in the {{tl|cat handler}}. I have written up my question and some examples at ], if/when you feel like it take a look. | |||

Orphaned non-free image File:Rani Maria Vattalil.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rani Maria Vattalil.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
User:Amalthea/culoghelper.js
Hi Amalthea and any talk page stalkers,
I've made a patch to add User:Amalthea/culoghelper.js into the CheckUser extension. Most of it is re-written into PHP, but it uses the concepts and a small part of the JavaScript (the bit that auto-scrolls down to the highlighted entry). It's at T309925.
If this is added into the extension the user script will probably collide with the userscript, so perhaps it can be emptied once the patch has been added?
Thanks for the great userscript, Dreamy Jazz 01:34, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
- This script has been added to the extension so within the next week it should be out for people to use. I'm not sure how it will collide with the extension, but I suspect a userscript trying to add a link around a link won't help so perhaps the script can be blanked once the next update has reached enwiki (should be Thursday next week). I'll make a request at the interface admin noticeboard once it arrives. Hopefully people like this and it works as well as the old script did :). Dreamy Jazz 00:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
