Issue when removing MetroLyrics song

Hi there! When your bot is removing {{MetroLyrics song}}, it's great that the bot removes the "External links" header when there are no other links. However, in this edit, the removal of the section header was not correct. Could you please tweak your bot code? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GoingBatty, yes, I will tweak the code. I had reviewed the first 1000 edits and didn't see this case, but there is always something. I will rollback that one and have the bot try again to make sure I have the bug fixed. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 17:30, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Roster templates

Was creating new articles such as London Royal Ravens roster what you intended? Gonnym (talk) 18:01, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gonnym, yes, this is for a history merge in process. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 18:02, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, makes sense :) Gonnym (talk) 18:03, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:str rightmost

Would you have a minute to delete Template:Str rightmost? Someone cleaned up the user pages and I removed the last few transclusions. Thanks, User:GKFX^talk 12:05, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts that aren't reverts?

I saw that you had done a few edits on articles that I'd recently edited (using JWB to format bare-text [whom?]s into {{whom?}}s etc), but the actual diffs don't show that they were actually undoing the edits. How is that even possible? Software glitch? jp×g 22:30, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:JPxG are you talking about the edits where you added links to Template:Whomst? to seven different articles (like Telugu language, Basal-cell carcinoma, Glowworm, ...)? Sounds like a problem with JWB. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 23:45, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Single-use table templates

P, what motivates Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 November 28#Largest cities of? Is there a relevant guideline I need to learn about? Is there some harm from such templating of tables? Is there no value in consistency with the others like these that have multiple uses already? Dicklyon (talk) 05:36, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Probably best to keep the discussion at TfD. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 17:30, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But you've been pretty silent there. I'm wondering what your personal motivation is in proposing such deletions. You probably have some way in which you think it will improve things, and I'd like to understand. Most TfD discussions aren't this puzzling. Dicklyon (talk) 05:01, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really have anything more to say that hasn't already been said there. I think the first bullet in the template guidelines explains it, which is already linked in the discussion. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 15:45, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabeth Woodvilles page, under literature

Hi just a quick question, do you know why she’s listed as being “melodramatic and self-pitying” in the description of Richard iii? Without context for the scene it does seem like it, but Richard has basically killed everyone she loves, and is manipulating and blackmailing her into letting him marry her daughter, who she knows he’ll probably end up killing as well. She lost her very young sons, her father, her husband, and closest companions. I think she’s allowed to be a LITTLE dramatic. (ofc this is all in the context of the play) 52.119.121.168 (talk) 21:14, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On Template:Singaporean name

When this template is deleted, can you salt the creation of the template as well? I am half-expecting a sock to return to this template if it is unprotected. – robertsky (talk) 20:29, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know when it has been deleted and I will take a look. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 15:29, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I looked into the number of pages with the template being used, and realised that there were only 2 left. Many of the Singaporean BLP pages are already on the family hatnote template, which makes the substitution relatively fast. I have marked the template as ready for deletion. – robertsky (talk) 16:55, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
