to roll out RedWarn v12? Aasim 15:05, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Awesome Aasim, not just yet. Likely tomorrow or Thursday, just lots of final testing first. Ed6767 (talk) 15:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Ed6767, hah, thanks! PS looks like I created another user script. Guess what it does? (Don't click the link until you have an idea. Hint: it is related to posting to talk pages.) Aasim 15:08, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Awesome Aasim, ah, a quick shortcut to new section, nice. Ed6767 (talk) 15:10, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Awesome Aasim, rev12 out now! Ed6767 (talk) 00:11, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Ed6767, Thanks for fixing all the bugs! Aasim 05:46, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Ed6767, PS on my own common.js file I added a link to RedWarn RC Patrol. Aasim 05:46, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Awesome Aasim, cool! Ed6767 (talk) 02:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Glitch

A glitch on your config file in RedWarn rev11's latest release might be updated on rev12. KMagz04 (talk) 23:39, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

KMagz04, what glitch, sorry? Ed6767 (talk) 23:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Also, rev12 will be out in an hour or so :) Ed6767 (talk) 23:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

What I meant was "your config file is corrupt". Yup. KMagz04 (talk) 23:41, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

KMagz04, ah, yes, it should auto-reset to defaults now. Ed6767 (talk) 23:59, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Edit count

I did a test on my sandbox using MAT on my account and my (old) IP address. However, the edit count of the IP showed up as "— ", which could be a case of mojibake. Can you fix that? CrazyBoy826 00:51, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

CrazyBoy826, yes, I realized that however it'll be fixed in rev13 as I'm already pretty burned out from all the coding Ed6767 (talk) 00:53, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, though! Ed6767 (talk) 00:53, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Also, I tried using RedWarn to send this on User talk:RedWarn, but it put it here instead. Then, I couldn't find the new post and got confused, so I posted it again! CrazyBoy826 00:54, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

CrazyBoy826, it follows the redirects I think then places it on the talk page of the root user, so here - it's an interesting problem lol Ed6767 (talk) 01:00, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

I have direct permission and source from the individual whose article and biography is being edited.

Please if it is possible can this not be taken down again cause I have the direct information from the individual with nowhere to cite but the document he sent me Covenantfk (talk) 20:14, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Covenantfk: Individuals do not get to control the content of their biographies at Wikipedia. We rely on publicly available reliable sources, not on the resume that he sent you to promote himself. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:38, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

RedWarn for Czech Wikipedia

Hey, i want customize your tool RedWarn for Czech Wikipedia. Can i do it? Mentioning you as the author of the original version is a matter of course :-). --MrJaroslavik (talk) 21:58, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) MrJaroslavik I think right now RedWarn is only available on English Wikipedia. I have tried to get this script to work on Test Wikipedia to no avail. Maybe one day! Aasim 10:05, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

MrJaroslavik, thank you! You might want to wait while I implement localization to make translating much easier. I'll let you know when I've implemented this :) Ed6767 (talk) 10:10, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Your user talk edit got reverted

Just wanted to let you know that your recent edit got reverted. DarthFlappy ^«Talk» 00:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

DarthFlappy, thanks for letting me know. Assuming good faith as an accidental removal :) Ed6767 (talk) 00:21, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Editing

Can you show me the basics of editing? I need to know, as I am helping create an article for tropical storm bertha. :) CodingCyclone (talk) 01:53, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

CodingCyclone, there are plenty of articles and tips on Wikipedia - here's some resources:

WP:EP

H:FIRST

WP:BETTER

WP:HOW

Hope they help :) Ed6767 (talk) 10:47, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

RedWarn

Hi, I recently installed RedWarn, but when I go to a diff, the buttons never show up. I watched the video as well. Can you help me out? Thanks. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, it doesn't actually look RedWarn is active on your account - are you sure it's installed right? You might want to check your common.js Ed6767 (talk) 01:09, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Can you tell me how to install it right? I followed all the instructions in the video. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:11, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, edit User:Prahlad_balaji/common.js and try removing the last line because you've imported your common.js file twice (it's already loaded as part of the page) Ed6767 (talk) 01:15, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, it still does not work. Is it because I have Twinkle installed? --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:17, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, nono, it should work fine with Twinkle. It may be conflicting with another script you have installed? Can you try checking your browser console for errors? Ed6767 (talk) 01:20, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I can't see any browser console errors. Can you check if I really have it installed? --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:52, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, it should be installed per your common.js, but it's not working for whatever reason. It's likely the script hasn't even loaded as User:Prahlad_balaji/redwarnConfig.js doesn't exist, which is automatically created on installation. Ed6767 (talk) 01:55, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Can you tell me what to put in RedWarn Config.js? Thanks. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:57, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, you shouldn't create this manually as it is created as soon as the script loads for the first time - if it doesn't get here, it either hasn't loaded at all or there is an issue with the initialisation. Could you try moving the importScript for RedWarn from the bottom of your common.js to the top? Ed6767 (talk) 01:57, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I tried it; it doesn't work :( --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 02:00, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, let me try with your common.js for a second and I'll get back to you. Ed6767 (talk) 02:01, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I forgot to tell you that only sysops and me can edit my .js pages. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 02:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, I'm testing on my account, then I'll let you know how to fix the issue when I find a way - what browser are you using btw? Ed6767 (talk) 02:03, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I am using Chrome on a Chromebook. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 02:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji, your common.js file includes lots of broken and extraneous JS code, specifically between the parts you have marked "Extraneous" - that code is causing the issues and RW won't load if an error has occurred. Ed6767 (talk) 02:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I removed tat part and it still isn't working. Any more extraneous bits? --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 02:52, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I am creating an alternate account for using RedWarn and I'm waiting for it to become extended confirmed. Hopefully this works! --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 12:46, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Update: RedWarn does work on my alternate account now! Prahlad balaji (RedWarn) (parent account•discuss) 16:42, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

i appreciate your efforts

i appreciate your efforts to seek a consensus, it is more than what others are willing to do these day. good luck! Cantstandthishypocrisy (talk) 02:06, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Quick note on Block (Internet)

Thanks for your edits to Block (Internet).

Hmm... are you sure that image is free to use? Most screenshots of websites cannot be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Have you taken a look at our non-free content criteria for Wikipedia and Commons' Deletion Policy? Aasim 02:46, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Awesome Aasim Yeah, uploading to commons was a mistake. Will reupload through WP under fair use rationale in the morning, tysm for reminding me! Ed6767 (talk) 02:49, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Ed6767, because that image fails WP:NFCC#1, I do not think you should upload it here either. Maybe from a freely licensed website or client would be better. Thanks for understanding :) Aasim 02:52, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Did you get my messages on Commons?

Don't worry - my first upload to Wikimedia Commons also got deleted as a copyvio :)

Commons only accepts free content, and content created by others must have evidence of permission in the form of an email to Commons' OTRS team. I do not know why a bot notified you of two other pages I nominated for deletion as a copyright violation, I thought it would not do any notification, especially that that notice may seem a little harsh... anyway, thanks for understanding :) Aasim 15:57, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
