Monobook

You may wish to make use of a 'Dates' tab in edit mode that will help with unlinking unnecessary date links. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. It also provides a 'Units' tab. If you know what you are doing, you can copy and modify the subfiles as you wish. I just thought you might be interested. Regards. bobblewik 20:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reason it fails is because you refer to User:Hmains/monobook.js/dates.js and User:Hmains/monobook.js/unitformatter.js and these articles do not exist. You have two options:

Reviewer Right Granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Helpful One 17:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Autopatroller

Hi Hmains, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature should have little to no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — ξxplicit 21:36, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Linking Dates (centuries, decades, years, months, days, etc)

Delink dates per WP:DATELINK, WP:YEARLINK and MOS:UNLINKYEARS

As always, the content of the linked-to article must provide substantive content to the linked-from article. The MOS decided most dates do not do this. Hmains (talk) 03:36, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Web page has expired

I follow the directions in the message shown on the screen.

"Click on the Refresh button on the toolbar to reload the page. After refreshing, you might need to navigate to the specific webpage again, or re-enter information."

On my computer I have to remember that "refresh" looks like a circle with an arrow at the top, and it's the fourth of five icons to the right of the URL. I don't even know what the others are. Then a box pops up and I have to click on "retry".— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

Since you are very active in the project, would you like to be an administrator? Do you need tools to move/delete pages for example? Are you active in WP space, involved in xFDs or something similar? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:03, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second Magioladitis here. I think you'd do fantastic as an administrator. The choice is entirely yours, but just know that should you ever submit an RfA, you'll have my support. Kurtis (talk) 03:53, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Understandable. Do whatever you feel comfortable doing, it's not my place to pressure you.
But in the off chance that you ever change your mind, know that I would feel confident in entrusting you with the tools. =) Kurtis (talk) 04:05, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delinking

  • The delinking of dates was exhaustively discussed by WP prior to the current wording of WP:DATELINK and WP:YEARLINK and MOS:UNLINKDATES being agreed upon. Days, months, years, decades, centuries, etc were all included in the long discussion.

problem

Whatever it is, this problem has not been fixed and there seems to be no activity by the people responsible for this mess to fix it. Hmains (talk) 02:13, 19 September 2013 (UTC) Hmains

I'm sorry that you're still having this frustrating problem. BJorsch named above the three different places where this problem may be caused: 1.your own computer, 2.the WMF's servers, or 3.a server in between you and the WMF's servers.

Each user is necessarily responsible for cacheing problems that appear in his own browser. Please follow all the steps at WP:BYPASS and let us know if that (hopefully!) solves the problem for you. If the problem is the WMF's caches, then it will likely be fixed relatively soon. If the problem is at a third-party server in between you and the WMF (e.g., on your corporate or university network or your local ISP), then I'm afraid that there is often nothing that either you or we are able to do about it except wait for the third-party server to update its cache.

AWB: mass category creation

Can AWB create mass categories? E.g. i need to create categories from ”Football clubs established in 1900” to ”Football clubs established in 2020”. Each category must have 2 categories- parents, one stable ”Football clubs establishements by year” and second incrementable ”Establishements in {{year}}", where {{year}} has value from 1900 to 2020, for each new category incrementation +1. Its possible to do that with AWB? XXN (talk) 19:50, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@XXN:, yes, check out CSV Loader. You will need to file a BRFA and get approval before you start creating the categories. Ganeshk (talk) 22:42, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but i dont understand how to use your plugin)) I know about bot policy, i will work on ro.wiki, i have already submitted an request for approval. XXN (talk) 23:35, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please follow the steps in this walk through. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or run into any issues. Ganeshk (talk) 14:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate categorization - British Leeward Islands etc

Tagging Category:Leeward Islands (Caribbean) and Category:British Leeward Islands as non-diffusing [2][3] does not justify putting Montserrat into them directly as you did with this edit. The article is already in those categories indirectly via Category:British Leeward Islands in World War II, Category:History of the British Leeward Islands, Category:British Leeward Islands. WP:SUBCAT is clear on this. If you want Category:Leeward Islands (Caribbean) and Category:British Leeward Islands to be all-inclusive you need to tag them as such (or tag the intermediate subcategories as non-diffusing).

Likewise Antigua and Barbuda [4] is already in Category:Leeward Islands (Caribbean) via Category:British Leeward Islands (which is a non-diffusing subcat of Category:British West Indies, but not of Category:Leeward Islands (Caribbean)).

Likewise tagging Category:British Leeward Islands as non-diffusing does not justify putting Category:Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla into it directly as you did here because Category:Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla is already in Category:British Leeward Islands via Category:British Saint Christopher and Nevis. If you want Category:British Leeward Islands to be all-inclusive you need to tag it as such (or tag Category:British Saint Christopher and Nevis as a non-diffusing subcat of Category:British Leeward Islands).

... Or you could just follow the general guideline of WP:SUBCAT and not include the article in both child and parent categories (which would be much simpler). Or you could propose a change to WP:SUBCAT.

I also invite you to look at the closed loop(s) described at WT:WikiProject Caribbean#Closed category loop; what would be the best way to break those loops?

Removal of linked dates

Hi Hmains - can you give a direct link to this non-usage of linked dates - as I wrote in edit - where would these entry pages which are very helpful be used? Why do they exist? Cheers --Iztwoz (talk) 17:35, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of American state and local politicians convicted of crimes is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of American state and local politicians convicted of crimes until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sandstein 12:11, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question about article edit

Hi. I'm looking at <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hutchinson_v._Proxmire&diff=821387676&oldid=821061263> and not really understanding this edit. The edit summary says this edit included category work, but the categories weren't touched, as far as I can tell. The edit is also removing a quotation mark that appears to have been intentional, since now there's a straggling/unmatched quotation mark. Can you please take a look? --MZMcBride (talk) 20:44, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Violence and attacks

Hello. Note about your recent categorization edits. [5] I think, not each "violence" is "attack". But each "attack" is "violence". So, Category:Attacks should be the subcategory of Category:Violence, but not vice versa. The same problem is related to the subcategories by countries. Murders, suicides, tortures, rapes in X are subcats of "Violence in X", but not related to "attacks in X". What do you think? 178.92.144.218 (talk) 23:56, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
