If you are here to ask a question about my edits, please read some F.A.Qs first. Q: You added a tag too fast when I uploaded it! I was in the middle of adding source/license/rationale when you tagged it! A: That's OK, just remove the tag, and get it. It was just bad luck that I checked right when your image was at the top of the list. As a tip, just try to fill it out correctly the first time, to avoid this happening in the future. Q: Your bot keeps adding {{orphan}} to pages that are disambiguations such as Habermas! A: Unfortunately, that is a Pywikipedia error. I have no control over that, sorry. The reason is that it uses a special disamiguation template that Pywikipedia does not recognize. Q: I found an orphaned page and I want to know how I can help this page not be orphaned anymore. A: You could try going to related pages, such as the month/day/year of birth and linking from there (if it is a notable person). You also might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage, that has some tips on how to make it not orphan. Q: When will your bot remove the template after I add links?/How many links does it take to remove the template?/I have made the page not orphan anymore. Could you remove the template please? A: My bot does not remove the template, it only adds it. If it is no longer orphan, go ahead and remove it yourself. Q: Your bot made a mistake, it removed (link) when it should not have! A: This, unfortunately, is not my problem. I am using a default pywikipedia script, interwiki.py. Please talk to one of the pywikipedia developers about it, as I am not looking at and approving any of its edits. Q: I am having some problems joining the Account creation mailing list, could you help me? A: I did make the tool, yes, but I actually am not a mailing list admin. I am just a member. Q: Confused about my ++, +-, +=, etc. edit summaries? A: Key: ++= Support/keep. +-= Oppose/delete. += = Neutral. +*= Comment. +>= Move.

I was wondering, how do I join this? I'm quite interested. Thanks TheMoridian 08:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Script help

Hi, I've noticed how your bot basically works, as in, it somehow monitors whether the user is active or not based on edit times and idle times. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to adapt this script to make a change to more then just one page, meaning, currently, it changes the text on a specific page from offline to online and vise versa where appropriate. I was wondering if you would be able to alter the code to do basically(meaning the text changes would be different) the same thing to other pages.

In short, I want to make a few things for myself automated.— Dædαlus^T@lk / Improve 17:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Your signature

Signatures may not have templates in them. I would expect someone who has been around for a while to know this. Please clean up any mess you've made. Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh my! I forgot the <includeonly>subst:</includeonly>! Oh deary me! I'll fix that right away. But is it necessary to fix all the places I've signed? It hasn't been a lot, as I just recently changed it. Soxred93 (u t c m l ) 05:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Um, just remove the template, if you subst it it will just turn into a huge mess about 5 times the max signature length. Mr.Z-man 05:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. Soxred93 (u t) 05:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
