Your username[edit]

Hi there! I saw the discussion you've been having here, and I thought I'd message you and offer to help. The username "Am awfc" (in normal characters) is currently available - would you like me to rename your account to have this username instead? This will resolve your issues and will save you a significant amount of frustration and confusion.

To explain what's going on: your current username is triggering the "title blacklist", a system filter that prevents issues and abuse by disallowing certain pages from being created that contains certain characters and words. Since your username is using non-standard characters, it's what's causing the title blacklist to flag you. This is why you couldn't create your user talk page earlier. You'll also run into many more issues by having a blacklisted username - such as not being able to create pages within your own user space, use certain tools, implement custom scripts and settings, and other important functions. Again, changing your username will resolve all of this.

Please let me know if you'd like me to change your username, and I'll do that for you right away. It only takes a brief moment, and all of your edits and history will move over to the new username.ย :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:46, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah, ah yes please! That'd be great, then I can adjust my signature. Many thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐šŠ๐š– ๐šŠ๐š ๐š๐šŒ (talk) 18:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I'm going to rename your account to "Am awfc" now, and it should only take a few moments to complete. IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to log into Wikipedia using your new username moving forward, not your old username. Else, you'll receive an "invalid username / password" error (because your old username doesn't exist anymore). I'll respond and follow up with you once you've been renamed.ย :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:09, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
All done! Your account username is now "Am awfc". Please don't hesitate to reach out to me on my user talk page if you need anything else, and I'll be more than happy to help you.ย :-) Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial before you make any edits or take on any major tasks around here. It will provide you with many helpful walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will be very helpful to you. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them and saved them hours of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise. Again, if you run into any questions or need any help, you know where to find me...ย ;-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:13, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Oshwah! ๐Ÿ™‚ I'll make the capital A look lowercase on my page and start reading your recommendations. Thanks again! Am awfc (talk) 23:34, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem! Always happy to help!ย :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:34, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again @Oshwah, this is unrelated, but you said I could ask for help. ๐Ÿ™‚ Please how can I make Wikipedia appear (to me) in another font? I guess it's with style sheets, just wondering if you can point me in the right direction? Thanks! am_awfc (talk) 16:07, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Giving up for now ๐Ÿ˜† (see below) am_awfc (talk) 12:01, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Am awfc! You know that you don't have to run a script to change that, right? Why not just change the font in your browser's settings and then change it back when you're done on Wikipedia?ย ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks @Oshwah, but I'm almost always in phones these days! Don't think that's an option on Android phone. Thanks for replying ๐Ÿ˜Š am_awfc (talk) 19:07, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile view[edit]

This copied from my meta talk page where I tried fixing an issue I had with fonts:

I tried ๐Ÿ˜” giving up on style sheet for now[edit]

I tried making changes to my global.css style sheet here, which seem to work on desktop view but not mobile. ๐Ÿค” As I'm mostly looking at Wikipedia etc. on my phone, this hasn't really helped. Going to forget about it for a while, until I find other users to pinch code from. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† Am awfc (talk) 11:53, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

This was my latest attempt. Am awfc (talk) 11:55, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I'll try again at some point ๐Ÿ˜‚ am_awfc (talk) 12:05, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
