Template:Db-u5

Hi Train2104, I hope you're well. Wonder if you could clear something up for me (yes, I'm easily confused!). In Sept 2015 this discussion allowed blatant CV's to be speedy-deleted as part of the WP:NOT policy, and you adjusted the template text a little later. What I've only just noticed is that the Twinkle CSD dialogue box (when you hover over the question mark next to the U5 radio button), says "...with the exception of plausible drafts, pages adhering to WP:UPYES, and résumé-style pages." Now, I must be misreading it somehow, but to me that looks an awful lot like CV's are still an exception—for Twinkle anyway! Hoping you can help :) Have a good weekend.

@Serial Number 54129: The descriptions are coded into Twinkle's code, I've already posted at WT:TW but nobody seemed to have ever responded. – Train2104 (t • c) 20:23, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Cheers Train; you suggest we follow the consensus rather than the twinkle code? Off the record, of course. Take care! —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap shit room} 20:37, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing

Hello,

There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Deck Roof Car 3662

I noticed you went to the Shore Line Trolley Museum before, since you uploaded a picture of the R17 controls. I was wondering if you could possibly go back to the museum and take a picture of Deck Roof Hi-V Car 3662? The reason is because that is the only example of the Deck Roof Hi-V left, and it would be an excellent idea to have a picture of that car so readers know what the car looks like. Commons doesn't have a picture of that car yet, so you may be the first one to upload a picture of that car.

@Davidng913: Please stop spamming me with these notices. I'll get one when I get one. – Train2104 (t • c) 11:10, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Railfan edit notice

Could you also add it to Amtrak paint schemes? I've been trying to clean it up, but it gets an enormous amount of cruft and arguments. Thanks! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:42, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

 Done – Train2104 (t • c) 11:10, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
