Modifications on Crime in El Salvador

in search of creating a correct contribution of the article "crime in el salvador", i have have tried to create a brief update of the mentioned article. The Territorial Control Plan is a work plan that the current government is working on, and although it goes beyond explaining it in 2000 characters, so i try to create an update on the Salvadoran situation regarding crime. But also, i i´m working on the update of the article "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_El_Salvador, to show in a deeper way, the reality of crime in El Salvador. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarcelHndz (talk • contribs) 17:16, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edit

Can you explain why you reverted my edit? I was trying to fix the template's documentation incorrectly appearing in places it was transcluded, like in Wikipedia:Double redirects. Do you have another way to fix it? cathartid - talk 02:21, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry ...button slip I guess. Never even looked at the page.Moxy-

Loss of editors

Hi Moxy - I'm not picking a fight or anything. But I saw your comment at WP:VPR which alleged that Help:Introduction had caused us to "lose thousands of editors", and I couldn't understand your reasoning behind that statement. The graph you showed didn't show anything as far as I could see, and surely it's a matter of editor retention and the number of active editors we have here, isn't it? So I thought this chart would be more representative of how many active editors we have who are adding content to articles? If so, I'd say it shows a very slight average rise over the years from 2016. So I'm either missing something in your statement, or perhaps missing some irony. I'd really welcome your thoughts. But don't rush as I'm off to bed now as it's 2am here, and my brain hurts. Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 02:00, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick Moyes:...This has come up many times...the more we replace our normal format help pages be it Help:editing or Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia or Wikipedia:Why create an account? for the Help:Introduction we keep losing more and more editors that may be willing to register. We have gone throught this before when we tried the the turorial page and Wikipedia adventure . As seen here in April 2012 we tried the adventure as the main help pages that we changed back in 2013...then in may 2015 we tried the a new tutorial page that only lasted 3 months because of the drop off.....now we have the old help intro back as main page last year that again has seen a huge decline in people joining.......this is in a time during covid where all are at home editing and most websites have seen a huge increase in registrations...as seen here close to the most editorts we have ever had ..but far less joining us. To be blunt no one will read over 100 pages to gain information. We have 2 links all over that has replaced our normal formated pages Help:Introduction to Wikipedia and Help:Introduction that sees 10,000 vews a day.....but we cant even get 10 percent to click the next page....with less then 1 percent going to the 3 page. Falier on our part for not stoping the replacement of our noirmal formated pages for a huge tutorial with 100 pages that is not formatted for all platforms.Moxy-

Rare country article blown out by something that isn't History

Thought you might enjoy that the Saudia Arabia article is a rare one where history is not causing the length issue. Foreign relations! Demographics as long as History. What an article. (Although I do with the template would give prose sizes.) CMD (talk) 04:07, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ukraine Map

Hi, why do You remove the Ukraine map] from the article. There is no map with city names, but of course many readers are looking for this information. The map expressly strives for a neutral representation. I can't understand your edit. Please restore the map to the article, maybe on a better position. --Lencer (talk) 10:11, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Washington d.c.

Moxy, I have spent countless hours the last few weeks updating that article. I would like if all my edits were not removed in one sweep. I have told you that I will get rid of the text that was copied, and that I will get rid of images if they are creating an accessibility issue. You clearly have no interest in discussing this with me. I am happy to speak on the phone with you at +1 703-232-3532 so we can discuss this. I don't want all my hard effort to be wasted like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmford13 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Covid Zero disruptive tagging

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Zero-COVID. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. [1] LondonIP (talk) 01:33, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup tags

Moxy, if you really think that {{Bare URL PDF}} is spam[2] then take it to WP:TFD. Otherwise, please leave cleanup tags in place so that other editors can do the cleanup. There is no deadline.

And if you have a problem with my editing, please leave msg for me rather than sniping in an edit summary. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:29, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When told there is template limit problems best do what is best for our readers.. Wikipedia:WikiImpMoxy-

02:37, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is best for our readers is to have refs filled. Inline cleanup tags are a low impact way of helping editors identify refs which need attention, and they are no impediment to readers. In this case it was you who eventually filled the ref: thanks for doing that and for thereby demonstrating how these tags help drive improvement.

This is the first time you have mentioned template limits. It is a nonsense complaint, because the {{Bare URL PDF}} template was replaced by a {{cite web}} ... so the number of templates remains the same. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:53, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding 300,000 tags is simply crazy and will never be rectified... call it category building.... as for fixing it .....best have a useful template so we can monitor the template limit problem with useful templates.Moxy-

02:59, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did not add 300,000 tags. Every ref which is filled as a result of these tags helps our readers, so the tag helps no matter how long that takes.

I have no idea why you keep going on about template limits. I have already explained to you why that is not a reason to avoid tagging bare URLs. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:14, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
