Welcome To My Talk Page

Welcome to my talk page. Anyone who knows what they are talking about should feel free to respond to any questions. All I ask is that you keep it PG (that means no trolling, cyberbullying, cussing, vandalism, etc.). If you are feeling angry then please calm down before you leave a message. Please note that I will usually respond faster on IRC. If there is a private matter that you need to discuss with me, please email me. Happy Talking!

RedWarn

Greetings! I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta test my new tool, RedWarn, specifically designed for the fastest vandalism reverts in the west (yee-haw!). If you're interested, please see see the RedWarn page for installation instructions. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your page. Your feedback is much appreciated!

Thank you very much! Please reach out to me with any feedback or questions. JamesHSmith6789 (talk) 23:15, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JamesHSmith6789: Just wondering... are you on IRC? If you are, please come find me on freenode. My nickname is Examknow. -Examknow ^talk 23:17, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not, how would I sign up? JamesHSmith6789 (talk) 23:19, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tried something, but it probably didn't work well. If you have Discord you can contact me at @ed#6767 while I try to get a good IRC client. JamesHSmith6789 (talk) 23:41, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RedWarn - important info to get back up and running

Hey! Thanks for testing RedWarn. This is an important message to notify you that effective immediately, you need to change your common.js. This is due to my usurp request to change my username from an alias, JamesHSmith6789, to a more identifiable one, Ed6767 being accepted.

To do this, edit your config.js and remove the existing RedWarn script line and replace it with this one:

importScript("User:Ed6767/redwarn.js");

Click here to edit your common.js

And, here's another reminder to please, please, leave feedback and report all bugs on the talk page. By reporting bugs, you can help get them fixed by the next daily release.

Also, if you're interested in live discussion regarding the development and help with using RedWarn, why not join our new Discord server. It's easy to sign up and you can get help and chat with other RedWarn users.

Again, thank you so much for being willing to beta test RedWarn! I really appreciate it. Ed6767 (talk) 12:32, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Ed6767 about RedWarn

Hello RedWarn tester! I hate to reitterate, but thank you so much for being willing to test RedWarn, I really appreciate it.

In the past few updates, I have added AIV (admin) reporting, a preferences panel, themes, customisation options and made many, many bug fixes and added many features based on your suggestions and feedback.

Unfortunately, recently feedback has run dry.

Even if you do not use RedWarn at the moment, or you do (tysm), I would greatly appreciate feedback of any kind. While I go round Twinkle users, sounding like that broadband salesperson in the mall that nobody ever wants to speak to, I'd like some updated feedback from recent and current users.

Any sort of feedback below would be greately appreciated!

Your first impressions when you tried RedWarn?
How have you used RedWarn as time has gone on?
Would you value customisation features, such as macros or shortcuts, such as adding your own quick revert reasons so the tool can fit your exact editing practices?
Any suggestions for how I could promote the tool to a wider audience?
Would you appreciate a more developed and thorough user guide?
Any theme suggestions?
Anything you'd like changing?
Something you've always wanted to see in an anti-vandal tool? (I might add it!)
RedWarn app?
A way to introduce Recent Changes patrol to new users to make using RedWarn or other tools less daunting?
Any bugs, gripes, or things that just really annoy you about RedWarn?
