Hi! The text on File:Wiki.png say file was created by Eloquence but original uploader is Kate. Perhaps you can add a link to File:EloquenceSunflowerBlue-Small.png on the file page? That file is probably the original file. Also the license is {{GFDL }} but because the file is uploaded before November 2008 it is eligible for a relicense. So perhaps you can also add {{Cc-by-sa-3.0-migrated }}? I could not find a admin noticeboard so I write to you because you are very active. Hope thats okay.

Hello, could you please block this IP 92.8.150.251, as block evasion: 156.61.250.251 and Long term abuse . Thanks.

Done (Stang already blocked the 2nd one.)

Hi, I've temp blocked after warning one newly registered user that seemed to insert gibberish into pages. Can you please have a look, clean up if necessary and decide about that account? Thanks, --M7 (talk) 10:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Done. Another LLM-bot I presume.

Please temporarily restore my Use talk page. I need the material to place in an email. Please ping me so I can grab the text. You also did not explain how an appeal to MediaWiki bureaucrats is out of project scope on a MediaWiki talk page

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): . Restored for a brief period. Please do not post about your block status here; do it on the wikis on which you are blocked.

said my peace

Hello, I was a little confused on your reasoning for deleting WIKIDIFF ("who types in all caps? redirect should really be lower case; if there's another page then it's a redirect") and interpreted it as meaning that MediaWiki doesn't utilize the shortcut standard styling of ALL CAPS. Just noting for myself in future that shortcuts on MW do follow that style for the most part.

(I mistyped (mis-wrote) a word in that in that comment, I meant to write disambiguation.) Some redirects, older ones in particular, are in all caps but most redirects are not. Given the main use-case of a redirect being a shorter or variant name of something someone might actually type out, all caps doesn't really make much sense, at least beyond acronyms and acronym-like contractions.

That list seems to cap out at 5000 for me, and all start with $ with the exception of the last 100 or so (4917+)? However I'm using it can't be right, as for example, DYK is nowhere to be found.

Yes, there's that many, so 5K only barely reaches things starting with A.

How are you able to determine 'most' redirects are not? (Is there policy on this? Closest I can find is enwiki's.)

Out of the 5K shown only a few are in all caps. Wikipedia's compact/acronym-ish shortcut strategy is useful there, but as you may note from the dramatically smaller list of shortcut transclusions (most of which are translations too) that approach is not really used here.

I think its fair to say that wg vars (i.e., ~4915 of them) are not really what we are talking about.

Extracting the full list to more formally verify or disprove my majority claim would be mildly interesting, but is more work than I care to do, and kind of drifting off-topic. "Shortcuts"(tm) are only barely used here though, and as you already observed, are not uniformly all caps.

(I have no idea how to get that red link to work??)

Flow has a known bug that redlinks point to the wrong page. One of many reasons that discussion system is on track to be sunset soon.

I just filed a CheckUser request. In the future, don't wait this long before requesting CheckUser; it'll save you a lot of whack-a-mole in the future.

Ah, that is great. Thanks, and noted.

	thank you Ztm13554800929 (talk) 17:19, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

please check what you can do with the user -> https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Category:Search/Page_display_title/fr&diff=prev&oldid=4897603 Thanks. --Christian 🇫🇷 FR 🚲 Paris 2024🗼 (talk) 12:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it. Could block them, but that edit is a few years old so it's unlikely to have an impact at this point.

ok, additionally i havent checked his/her other possible contributions

None, and no others from their /64 either.

ok , closable topic.

You recently deleted a translation unit from Category:MediaWiki configuration settings containing sensitive data/th . I think the entire page should be deleted, as it contains no meaningful content other than the now-deleted vandalism. Regards,

Several extensions by you have shown up in my query as using legacy Revision objects (see Manual:Revision.php/Migration):

• Extension:DebugTemplates
• Extension:MadLib

Are you in fact still maintaining these, or should they be archived?

I don't think any are in use at this point so I suppose it's ok to archive them.

Thanks. I've submitted a request to archive MadLib. These days this sort of thing is better done in a template or Lua module than an extension anyway.

DebugTemplates was sufficiently interesting to me that I decided it was worth my time to fix it up for now: gerrit:1054070

Ok. Thanks for fixing DebugTemplates. It was motivated by the pain of tracking down errors in some massive template nests, but it was hard to convince the site(s) I intended it for to install it, let alone use it.
