Thank you for being one of Wikipedia's top medical contributors!

please help translate this message into the local language
The Cure Award
In 2013 you were one of the top 300 medical editors across any language of Wikipedia. Thank you so much for helping bring free, complete, accurate, up-to-date medical information to the public. We really appreciate you and the vital work you do!

We are wondering about the educational background of our top medical editors. Would you please complete a quick 5-question survey? (please only fill this out if you received the award)

Thanks again :) --Ocaasi, Doc James and the team at Wiki Project Med Foundation

Thanks for the beautifying!

Resolved

Hello Magioladitis-- Thank you for making our efforts look good. :-) You should know that three more teams from our project will post their findings under "Major themes" soonish (everything sort of stops here for Labor Day); we'll try and get the references in the right order (that's partly what we got wrong, right?)--DrX (talk) 18:55, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DrX keep up the good work! I am glad I helped a bit! -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:53, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You said I disagree - I am curious, why? Denisarona (talk) 13:26, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Denisarona Hi and thanks for contacting. I disagree for the reasons given by other editors. No reason to add local names in the wikilink. You can use the talk page to state your arguments though since I do not have strong feelings about it but please at least put some description when editing. You reverted others for no obvious reason. Thanks. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:28, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted the IP's edit because they gave Every party name is in English. as the reason. I then explained my action of the IP's talk page. Not all the names are English and e.g. the Spanish party We can is listed under its Spanish name on the English Wikipedia and is referred to by its Spanish name on English language news broadcasts (as is Sinn Féin from Ireland). Regards Denisarona (talk) 13:35, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:48, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BAG?

Resolved

There's currently a thread about how we need more active BAG members? Are you interested? I'd be more than willing to nominate you :) Legoktm (talk) 03:07, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Legoktm Yes, I would like to participate in this! -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:28, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I hope this page will be rid of backlog then. I had a question about your bot and similar bots. Like yobot, battybot, etc. Do they use AWB or something more than that? I was reading the tips for using AWB, one of the line included that "Consider opening a bot account if you are regularly making more than a few edits a minute." I had no clue if its easy or hard. OccultZone (Talk) 06:39, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@OccultZone: Yes, it would be great to have a few more BAG members. Yobot and BattyBot use AWB, sometimes with special find/replace rules and/or custom modules. The hard part about creating a bot task with AWB is ensuring that your bot doesn't make any incorrect edits and doesn't make any inconsequential edits. GoingBatty (talk) 20:39, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds to be easy, it is not hard to play fair. OccultZone (Talk) 00:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I came on this page to suggest what Legoktm did. The BAG would benefit from your expertise, and you're already an active commenter on many requests as well as an expert bot operator. Snowolf How can I help? 17:56, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Legoktm and Snowolf: you can nominate me. I would like to be a BAG member. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:08, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note to Magioladitis

Resolved

Hi Magioladitis, just to let you know there is a new Show on Doc McStuffins. Can you please put a Empty section on Doc McStuffins, I would like that. Thank you. 65.95.41.229 (talk) 12:50, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:65.95.41.229, You should provide some URL of your information, so that it can be understood. OccultZone (Talk) 13:27, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging

Noticing that your (?) bot is tagging talk pages of many articles (such as Photoreceptor), I'm wondering if you'll get to Photobiology and Scotobiology. The one is a bare stub, the other a bit more developed, but I wonder if either is really notable. --Hordaland (talk) 21:04, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hordaland what exactly do you want to be done? -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:06, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just thought an addition of your project might bring new eyes to the articles. --Hordaland (talk) 21:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I performed general fixes on these pages. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:46, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to vote on an article

hello. since you are an editor of the article Ammar ibn Yasir, would you be interested in voting for it to make it a featured article or not? thank you for your time Grandia01 (talk) 12:54, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Cosmetic

Resolved

If your bot was active, I would've asked you to perform cosmetic changes on the talk pages of about 1.7k football articles. About 2 days ago, there used to be almost 4,000 unassessed football articles. Now they are about 1,400 or less. It became harder to assess as the talk pages have uncommon template for wikiprojects, for example "football", "wpfootball", "wp football", and "wikiproject football". Whenever I would assess after selecting any of these 4 options, I would need to go back to main page or erase the selected option because 90% of the time my guess was wrong. I needed to run AWB with your module on these 1.7k pages so that they can be assessed properly. Just realized that such cosmetic changes are needful, but some people never learn. OccultZone (Talk) 04:00, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OccultZone many editors face similar problems. I tried to explain it but... Anyway, I have filled out a ticket to unblock and contacted other admins. Still no response. -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:50, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Page bytes limit

Resolved

Is there any fixed limit? I just made a page on my Userpage, it exceeds 600,000 bytes. OccultZone (Talk) 11:48, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing I am aware of but probably many people won't be able to access your page. Check Wikipedia:Userpages#Excessive_unrelated_content too. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:53, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is all good then. OccultZone (Talk) 12:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AWB with #78 and small tags.

Why does AWB think there are small tags missing if a <br> is in between the small tags? Chinese emperors family tree (middle) is an example.

Could AWB warn if there are multiple reference tags... error #78. Bgwhite (talk) 15:32, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BDP and BLP

Resolved

Is there any administrator template that include those biographical articles where "living=no/yes" is empty? I guess there is, you have assessed that before. How many articles are there in total? OccultZone (Talk) 06:33, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OccultZone Category:Biography articles without living parameter. -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:56, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I don't know how it is fixed. So I think that you should edit all those 2000 pages. It will take you about 3-4 hours. OccultZone (Talk) 06:59, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OccultZone fixing this is not easy. To do that the article has to be checked and determine whether the person is dead or alive. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:17, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
How you did 9 in 1 minute? OccultZone (Talk) 07:19, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1 minute of active editing and xxx minutes to create the list ;) -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:24, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OccultZone Check also User:Yobot#Before_contacting and User:Yobot#Frequently_Asked_Questions_on_editing_Talk_pages. They can be expanded if the method is not clear. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:28, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Very nice, they can be expanded. Although you may have tried to say a lot things in short, it is good. OccultZone (Talk) 07:41, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@OccultZone: See also Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BattyBot 30 GoingBatty (talk) 13:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty: You have to be a member of that community? Before posting anything. OccultZone (Talk) 18:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@OccultZone: Not sure what you mean by "that community". If you're referring to Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval, feel free to add any constructive comments at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BattyBot 30 that would help me runt he bot task. If "that community" means something else, could you please clarify? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 20:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are some boards where only authorized people can comment, I think. I thought if this one has similar requirements but I guess that isn't any. OccultZone (Talk) 01:01, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rcat question

Resolved

Hello Magioladitis. This edit corrects the discrepancy with {{DEFAULTSORT}} while also moving the {{Rcat}} templates into this configuration:

#REDIRECT [[Boots Adams]] {{R from personal name}} {{R from short name}}

{{DEFAULTSORT:Adams, K.S. Boots}}

The newest guidance I have seen at WP:REDCAT suggests placing the templates as:

#REDIRECT [[Boots Adams]] 

{{R from personal name}} 
{{R from short name}}

{{DEFAULTSORT:Adams, K.S. Boots}}

What are your thoughts?—John Cline (talk) 06:58, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

John Cline aha. I did not know about it. Thanks for the heads up. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:00, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There used to be a MediaWiki limitation whereby if a page was a redirect (i.e. it began with #REDIRECT) anything after the first line would be ignored, so it was necessary to put all the {{R ...}} templates on the first line so that their categorisations would be actioned. This restriction was lifted a few years ago, since when the {{R ...}} templates have been on separate lines. A further change earlier this year means that those {{R ...}} templates are now displayed in full, instead of just their categories showing. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:06, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redrose64 Thanks for the useful information! -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:10, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes I really think that how Redrose64 became so knowledgeable about these template, source, and other codes. OccultZone (Talk) 12:56, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Part of it is hanging around WP:VPT and similar; partly it's experience. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:06, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanked. OccultZone (Talk) 13:17, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dazzie Dee, CSD

Resolved

Hello Magioladitis, what's good. I recently made article about rapper Dazzie Dee, and was later nominated for WP:CSD by STATicVapor. That nomination hasn't a specific or a significant reason to delete the article, in fact Dazzie Dee has established notability in the late 1980s and 1990s.[1] I worked many hours on it, and I don't think I deserve that! Please can you do something for this? I will appreciate it very much, thank you.

Γεια ρε Μαγιολαδίτη, τι καλά νεα? Προηγουμενως, εχω αρχίσει μια σελίδα για τον ράππερ Ντάζι Ντι (Dazzie Dee), ο καλλιτεχνης είναι αρκετα γνωστός, διότι εχει δουλεψει με διάσημους και διάφορους ράππερω, σαν τον Ice Cube, K-Dee και άλλους πολλούς (βλεπε στην Αγγλική μεταφραση για περισσοτερα). Η σελιδα εχει επισημανθει για WP:CSD, μα γιατι.. αφου ο καλλιτεχνης εμφανιζεται σε εφημεριδες και websites, σαν το Billboard, DubCNN, allmusic κλπ.(βλεπε refernces παρακατω). Θα το εκτιμούσα πολυ αν θα μπορουσες να με βοηθήσεις να επιλύσω αυτο το πρόβλημα... ευχαριστώ πολύ! ;)

Done. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:22, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Need a shortcut

Resolved

Can you create a shortcut for WP:Talk#Creating talk pages? I had tried, but it just didn't worked out. At least 10/100 of these talk pages have the talk headers but no discussion. OccultZone (Talk) 07:25, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:36, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Toc right

Resolved

Hi Magioladitis, re Gold (disambiguation), does AWB insert a line after the TOC right? I personally don't use one on purpose - so that folk don't get tempted to put something there and satisfy the "immediately before". Widefox; talk 12:21, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Widefox thanks for contacting. No it does not. I added it personally. I think you are right after reading your message. Feel free to remove it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:29, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Widefox and Magioladitis: It's not necessarily AWB. If any single section is edited, any whitespace at the bottom of the section is stripped and then two newlines are added when the section is saved. This means that sections normally end with one blank line before the next ==Heading==. If {{TOC right}} is correctly placed (as the last item in the lead section), which is the case with Gold (disambiguation), any edit to the lead section will cause one blank line to appear between the {{TOC right}} and the ==Science and technology== --Redrose64 (talk) 12:53, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. AWB edits the whole thing rather than section wise I'm guessing (I've used it in wine). To be most precise, on a dab it's actually the last item before the first heading, as some have items before the first heading, but yes. I've already changed it, but feel free to revert me as there's no stopping that. Regards Widefox; talk 13:38, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redrose64 you are right. AWB adds the blank line for the reasons you stated. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:07, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(fixed template - template stalker!) - does it! even when editing the whole thing? Widefox; talk 16:10, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Number of citations on biography

Resolved

Thank you for reviewing Hala Moddelmog's biography. How many citations do I need to get the error message off the page. How do you add a photo. I'm new at this. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.68.29 (talk) 14:19, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @166.205.68.29: You should add some sources to Hala Moddelmog#Board Involvement, and the tag will be removed. OccultZone (Talk) 14:24, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Authority control

Hi,

I've noticed that the Greek Wikipedia does not seem to have an equivalent of {{Authority control}}. Would you be interested in adding one; or do you know someone who would? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:57, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Andy please remind me this in Wikimania. I presume that you are coming -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:44, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AWB on West Toodyay

HI, I noticed you used AWB on the article West Toodyay, the automated tools are great but occasionally you come across subjects that have a history that doesnt fit the regular mould. In the process you removed a heading in doing so you changed the context of the article please take care Naming of Toodyay, Western Australia. Gnangarra 23:58, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Gnangarra: Note that MOS:HEAD states "Headings should not refer redundantly to the subject of the article, or to higher-level headings, unless doing so is shorter or clearer." Since the "West Toodyay" section is so small, one solution could be to combine the "Old Toodyay" and "West Toodyay" sections one section header called "History". GoingBatty (talk) 17:47, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
the last part is the pertinent point unless doing so is shorter or clearer... The town started as Toodyay, renamed as West Toodyay in 1910, reference written before 1910 call it Toodyay, references after 1910 use West Toodyay or Old Toodyay if they are referring to the town before the rename... so the clearest headings are Old Toodyay and West Toodyay. The article only a week or so old I'm still working through Old Toodyay information, and noting a couple of West Toodyay points of interest if they arise. I've still got the last 100 years to cover to expand the West Toodyay section. Gnangarra 15:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fella

Hi Fella, I just wanted to make you aware that this dude keeps going around taking key words and WP:Censor articles. I know Wikipedia is about freedom of expression, so was a bit concerned. Look at his edit history. Thanks 194.217.96.40 (talk) 09:48, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yobot: sortkey and dash

Resolved

This edit is a problem; it says it is replacing a dash with a hyphen per Wikipedia:MCSTJR#Other_exceptions. But Wikipedia:MCSTJR#Other_exceptions doesn't say to use hyphens instead of dashes. It seems to indicate that it should use nothing instead of dashes (but doesn't say why). Would you please either make it stop or fix Wikipedia:MCSTJR#Other_exceptions to support what it is doing? (Presumably the latter, but I don't know.) Thanks, ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:08, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ErikHaugen, "Only hyphens, apostrophes and periods/full stops punctuation marks should be kept in sort values.". Changing dashes and all the dash variants to a hyphen is the proper way. All the dash variants have a different sort order. By changing the defaultsort to all hyphens, they all have the same sort order. This really helps when article titles have different dashes, but are essentially the same... "2013-2014 Mud wrestling season", where the "dash" between the year varies. Bgwhite (talk) 18:06, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, like I said, "presumably the latter". I'm just asking that Magioladitis fix Wikipedia:MCSTJR. Thanks, ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 18:11, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If it doesn't go well, then you can simply seek consensus on policy page or inform there right after making a change yourself. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 18:16, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OccultZone the question was a frank question and it was answered. I, or someone else, may improve SORTKEY soon too to cover this question. This is not a discussion about a disagreement that needs to form a consensus or anything. I know that you want to help but please keep your answers on-topic otherwise message the other editor directly or find a way that this discussion can be read in a week without huge effort. I try to keep discussion on my talk page short. I am not a big fan of large portions of texts. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:50, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah it has been solved for now I guess,[2] though dashes are usually non-controversial edits. They may have been prevalent for last few months, I never had any of them on the articles that I edited until about January this year. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 18:53, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dil Murad Khan

Resolved

Hello Magioladitis,
Re your revision of 08:30, 25 November 2013 here to Dil Murad Khan. You seem to have missed the reason the refs and cats were missing, which was several edits the day before causing a large unexplained deletion here by 119.154.239.191 (talk · contribs). They removed about ⅓ the text and 4 refs., the references section and categories! No explanation. I have reverted back to revision 480529804 by ChrisGualtieri @ 18:29, 6 March 2012.

Strange tag

Resolved

Hi. Re this edit: (i) it has over 200 outgoing links to Wikipedia pages, and that excludes the navboxes, so {{underlinked}} is inapplicable; (ii) other than that, the only change was to bypass a redir, WP:AWB#Rules of use item 4. There are plenty more examples. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:58, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage

I think that the lead should not start with "This list is for the English Wikipedia." Many of us have changed such lead from articles. But this article can be edited only by admins.

Lead should be edited out, or you should copy & paste "This list is only for the English Wikipedia. Approval is not always needed on other projects. If you want to be registered to use this software, add your name to the bottom of the list on the talk page. Any admin can add any user to the list of enabled users." From guide to the lead.

You wrote "the RfC was only on the placement" which is why I did not express support in deleting the template, but commented on those opinions suggesting or implying that it should remain in article space indefinitely. As you will see I have struck through my comments because it is alleged at ANI that they were canvassed (I have not bothered to see if they were or were not). -- PBS (talk) 17:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

PBS I think the entire discussion on TfD started on a wrong basis and this won't turn good. An editor got upset from seeing a tag on a page they created, starts a TfD on the basis on misunderstanding a consensus, asks for changes in the visibility and then suggests deletion on the basis that the visibility status does not satisfy them (and the Rfc perhaps). You are an experienced editor and I believe you see the wrong basis of the entire thing. I 've no problem to discuss anything but it has to be a constructed discussion I believe. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:47, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Technical 13 has taken the matter to ANI where, in defending my own action, I have pointed out that Magioladitis advertised the TfD discussion at WikiProject Orphanage yesterday. They might be expected to be partisan but I have no particular complaint about this myself as they would obviously have to be told; it just seems necessary to put our actions in context. I mainly letting you know as a courtesy, as is the convention for ANI. Andrew (talk) 18:02, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew thanks for letting me know. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:03, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Canvassing is problematic if it is done by sock, ip, SPA, etc. It is also problematic if other editor has no involvement. Here, canvassing don't apply. Left a note already.
Magioladitis, PBS has referred to the same consensus once again that he had noted before. But I was also thinking that where you were? OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 18:39, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Persian people

Resolved

Sorry, I boldly reverted a long way back due to editing by a banned editor but also because the Tajiks suddenly disappeared with no reason given. As they are a Persian speaking people I don't understand why this happened. Dougweller (talk) 20:53, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Farshidvard. Dougweller (talk) 08:37, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And I've blocked Farshidvard indefinitely now, clearly not here to build the encyclopedia. Dougweller (talk) 09:50, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Calm not needed

Thank you for your removals of the crappy {{calm talk}} template! Bishonen | talk 09:30, 16 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]

(talk page stalker) Bishonen Yes it is outdated and it is not used anymore. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 09:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Bishonen Thanks. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:40, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed and thanks, even if it did dominate my watchlist for a while! Dougweller (talk) 10:46, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of talk page templates

So why'd you remove the template {{calm}} from Talk:Child sexual abuse and Talk:Anti-pedophile activism and who know where else. Your edit summary ("Calm not needed!") is not too helpful, it seems counterintuitive. Is it a joke? These are fairly contentious articles. What's going on here? Herostratus (talk) 03:06, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Herostratus For instance Talk:Child sexual abuse had no hard discussions as I noticed. I restored them but I do not think we should add banners around only under the fear that the discussion might get heated. -- Magioladitis (talk) 03:25, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Talk header" partially serves the purpose of the "calm" by guiding editors to be polite etc. I would use "calm" in the case of long discussions where there is constant fight. -- Magioladitis (talk) 03:28, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I did not remove it from many pages. Mainly for category talk pages with no discussion on them. -- Magioladitis (talk) 03:37, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have found some pages where this template has been used, and talkheader already existed. I would've told you to remove or removed it myself, but then I thought that you will get them in near future. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 04:06, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Psychedelics, Dissociatives and Deliriants

This is really old, but do you know what the intent was with this edit, which added

{{WikiProject Psychedelics, Dissociatives and Deliriants
Talk:Soundgarden/GA1}}

inside the {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}? It's still there: nobody's picked up on it in 3 1/2 years. Are there more edits like that left over? --Redrose64 (talk) 22:59, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redrose64 thank for the heads up. I do not think they are more. I'll check though. -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:35, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I removed the {{Talk:Soundgarden/GA1}} again because the GAN closed as succesful more than four years ago, and the page is linked through the article history. Still unsure why {{WikiProject Psychedelics, Dissociatives and Deliriants}} is in there, because there wasn't anything relevant before your earlier edit. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:13, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redrose64 Ah yes. Old bug. In the weird case of sole double curly brackets on a single line, it would add this project! IT has been fixed and I thought I had removed it in all cases. It seems I missed one. Thanks for reporting. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:30, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bug is related to the code found at User:Magioladitis/WikiProjects. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:35, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AWB edits??

Hello Magioladitis, first time on your talk page :) . I have a query regarding AWB edits. How can I count the number of edits I made using AWB?? Is there any such page which lists the number of edits made by AWB???? Thanks and don't forget to ping me (I'm currently experiencing short term memory loss) Jim Carter (talk) 20:43, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is noted in your AWB window, that how many pages you have edited and how many pages you have skipped. When you close the window, they will vanish. There is one more tool for the queries about automated and semiautomated edits. Although it doesn't work if the editor has high edit count. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 23:37, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the edits by that vandal on the 2014 U.S. Open page. I just found it a couple minutes ago, and was about to change it when you changed it right before I clicked the edit button, saving me the trouble of doing it myself. .. Last week, a few other editors and myself worked a lot on that page, and we don't want it vandalized. So thanks for spotting it and taking care of it. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 05:29, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Johnsmith2116 Anytime. The page is linked via the Main page so I spotted immediately. -- Magioladitis (talk) 05:30, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BAG

I've undone the change you made to the link that you changed in the In The Nightside Eclipse page.
The problem is that, the link, as you had changed it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_Dor%C3%A9#mediaviewer.2FFile:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png
it opens Gustave Doré's page,
instead of the "Death on a Pale Horse (Revelation)" image.

I think that the only way for the link to work is to keep it as an external link (as I had it)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_Dor%C3%A9#mediaviewer/File:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png

PS. Together with this page I had also added that link to the Emperor (EP) page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueSpiderMan (talkcontribs) 12:38, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BlueSpiderMan OK thanks for the heads up. I'll have a look. We should try to add an internal link though. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:41, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Magioladitis You've changed the link into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png
This way the pic is opened covering only a part of the screen,
while my link was opening filling all the page, and you could even navigate to the other images of the gallery too.
I still prefer my link, but if it's not by Wikipedia's rules to use a wikipedia link as external, then so be it. -- BlueSpiderMan (talk) 16:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BlueSpiderMan, Wikipedia:Files suggests that we use internal links for images. I tried to convert it so it does it your way but I failed. I 'll ask more editors' opinions on that. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:07, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Magioladitis Great. Thanks for your effort. -- BlueSpiderMan (talk) 16:33, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
