	Hi - The reception towards bitcoin is an extremely rapidly evolving space and more so now than ever before - While it might appear slanted towards recent events, most nations haven't made comments on bitcoin until recently. Poland, Iceland and Norway all made their first comments this week. This part of the bitcoin article is likely to continue to avoid rapidly as more nations "weigh in" - In my view recentism shouldn't apply here :-) ] (]) 22:44, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

	== Odd section edit summary ==

	Your edit had an odd edit summary in the part which is usually prefilled by MediaWiki when a section is edited. The section heading was <code><nowiki>]</nowiki></code> but the edit summary instead contained <code><nowiki><a href="/LeSean_McCoy" title="LeSean McCoy">LeSean McCoy</a></nowiki></code>. This is the html code produced by <code><nowiki>]</nowiki></code>, but it shouldn't end up in the edit summary. Did you just click the "edit" link at the section and type "response" after the prefilled edit summary? Are you using any special editing tool? If you now click the edit link at ] then does the prefilled edit summary say <code><nowiki>/* LeSean McCoy /</nowiki></code> (as it should), or the wrong <code><nowiki>/ <a href="/LeSean_McCoy" title="LeSean McCoy">LeSean McCoy</a> */</nowiki></code>, or something else? ] (]) 01:46, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

			The script that you mention, ], is one I haven't looked at in years (and I'd mostly forgotten it existed until you linked it). Most people use the script I originally created at ] instead (which was adopted and maintained by another user, at ]; it seems that my version was updated via {{tl\|edit protected}}, I didn't update it myself).

			I'm not really active at Misplaced Pages at the moment, and am not really up-to-date enough on scripting knowledge to fix it. I'd have no objection to someone else updating the script and using {{tl\|edit protected}} to replace it (or, if they were an admin, just putting in a script redirect; script redirects to non-admin namespaces are a security issue). Otherwise, I'll probably have a look at it next time I become active at Misplaced Pages, but that might not be for months or years (I tend to become active in bursts). --] 02:43, 20 December 2015 (]]])

	While we always welcome general feedback (please ] in the ''or'' drop your feedback on the ] on MediaWiki.org), the developers are especially interested right now in feedback on the special character inserter. This new tool is used for inserting special characters (including symbols like ], ], mathematics symbols, and characters with ]). It is intended to help people whose computers do not have good character inserters. For example, many Mac users prefer to use the extensive "Special Characters…" tool present at the bottom of the Edit menu in all applications or to learn the keyboard shortcuts for characters like ñ and ü.

	The current version of the special characters tool in VisualEditor is very simple and very basic. It will be getting a lot of work in the coming weeks and months. It does not contain very many character sets at this time. (The specific character sets can be customized at each Misplaced Pages, so that each project could have a local version with the characters it wants.) But the developers want your ideas at this early stage about ways that the overall concept could be improved. I would appreciate your input on this question, so please try out the character inserter and tell me what changes to the design would (or would not!) best work for you.
			* ] and add any general ideas on developing the project.

			== Guild of Copy Editors 2023 Annual Report ==
	Issues you might consider:
	* Do you normally use a character inserter? Which character sets are useful to you? Should it include all 18 of the character sets provided in the wikitext editor's newer toolbar at the English Misplaced Pages, the 10 present in the older editor toolbar, or some other combination of character sets?
	* How many special characters would you like to see at one time?
	** Should there be a "priority" or "favorites" section for the 10 or 12 characters that most editors need most often? Is it okay if you need an extra click to go beyond the limited priority set?
	** How should the sections be split up? Should they be nested? Ordered?
	** How should the sections be navigated? Should there be a drop-down? A nested menu?
	* The wikitext editor has never included many symbols and characters, like ] and ]. Do you find that you need these missing characters? If the character inserter in VisualEditor includes hundreds or thousands of special characters, will it be overwhelming? How will you find the character you want? What should be done for users without enough space to display more than a few dozen characters?
	* Should the character inserter be statically available until dismissed? Should it hover near the mouse? Should it go away on every selection or 10 seconds after a selection with no subsequent ones?
	* Some people believe that the toolbar already has too many options—how would you simplify it?

	::Well, links to sister projects aren't strictly "internal" links. As for navboxes and portals, when expanded they push down any text below them, so are, in my view, rightly placed at the end.

If it has been up for more than two hours since the last edit, it should be removed. Specifying periods of several days or longer for this template goes against the spirit of simply avoiding edit conflicts; please only use it for sessions where you are actively editing the article.

Tami Erin and the definition of vandalism

Hello,

Per WP:BLP, we don't add information about trivial arrests without convictions to BLPs. Removing such tabloid newspaper style content is most certainly not vandalism. Vandalism has a very strict definition here and is a deliberate attempt to damage the encyclopedia. These were good faith edits not vandalism.You really want to add material about a fight between roommates about pizza to a BLP? Really? Make your case on the article's talk page, which I will be watching. Cullen Let's discuss it 03:43, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Link rot

Please check for link rot before you tag an article with the template. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:49, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Random reversion bot

Good job reverting Grover's material out of the knockout game page! That is exactly what one of your two revisions accomplished. The other left in the stupid sentence in the last paragraph of the lead. Even better job ignoring that the page is anything but informative or neutral. Three thumbs up! 98.225.252.201 (talk) 20:25, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Re: (User talk:ais523) Updating stub script

The script that you mention, User:Ais523/stubtagtab.js, is one I haven't looked at in years (and I'd mostly forgotten it existed until you linked it). Most people use the script I originally created at User:Ais523/stubtagtab2.js instead (which was adopted and maintained by another user, at User:MC10/stubtagtab.js; it seems that my version was updated via {{edit protected}}, I didn't update it myself). It looks like nobody's done the same for the "original" script.

I'm not really active at Misplaced Pages at the moment, and am not really up-to-date enough on scripting knowledge to fix it. I'd have no objection to someone else updating the script and using {{edit protected}} to replace it (or, if they were an admin, just putting in a script redirect; script redirects to non-admin namespaces are a security issue). Otherwise, I'll probably have a look at it next time I become active at Misplaced Pages, but that might not be for months or years (I tend to become active in bursts). --ais523 02:43, 20 December 2015 (U T C)

Appreciation

I appreciate your interest in editing the Signpost Humour article. Please feel free to make any changes that you feel are appropriate. Any edits that anyone else has made to the articles has improved the article, so you are invited, forever and beyond, to continue to check up on my sloppy writing. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 16:29, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Good Humor
		Listen, I'm just flattered that you even read the humour article in the Signpost. If we were face-to-face I would shake your hand and give you a smiley cookie. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 16:35, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Barbara (WVS). I cheated as I have a couple of user scripts installed that make those (possible) nitpick errors leap out at me when I read articles. I felt cheeky enough making the edits that I wanted to check with you and make sure that I did not make three steps ahead and two steps back. Thank you for the barnstar. I really appreciate it. PS: I learned a lot about Ralphs. {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 04:24, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

I would like to learn how to cheat! What script do you use? Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 14:05, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Barbara (WVS). I use two user scripts, made by other editors. The first turns redirect links from blue to a light green (kinda hard to see), and the second turns disambiguation links to orange (very easy to see). Then, I can manually check them to see where they lead, and repoint them if or as necessary. Have you ever installed a user script? Let me figure out the easiest way to walk you through it, if you need some help. The process is simple and quick. I will be back in a jiffy. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 04:02, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Barbara (WVS). Okay. My apologies. You are way ahead of me. I found the script for turning redirect links to light green. Copy all of this into your common.css page:

/* Makes redirect links appear green to me only */
.mw-redirect {
color: #006633;
}
.mw-redirect:visited {
color: #009900;
}
.mw-redirect:hover {
color: #990000;
}
.mw-redirect:active {
color: #990000;
}

I will poke around to find the other script or gadget. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 04:59, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Barbara (WVS). Okay, turning disambiguation links to orange (only you will see this) is a gadget. Check out this tip of the day for the simple enablement. Have fun! Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 05:04, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Dear Checkingfax, new tools are like candy to me! thanks so much and the very best of regards. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 10:15, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Barbara (WVS). I do not know if you have enabled the orange link thing yet in your preferences yet, but if you have, you can spot and fix an orange link in the Social justice article - it is right in the lead! Having fun! Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 06:33, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
