RFCs

Please do not wikikawyer, or think that you have the position of lead prosecutor or rebutter of commentary. You put forward your proposal, and you need to leave it there and allow people to have their points of view. It is not yours to curate, and you end up feeding the trolls. IMO don't over invest, it doesn't help.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Are you talking about Special:Diff/26142880? That was removed by Steinbach, not me (an action which I do support but wouldn't do myself). It's a bit of a reach to call something wikilawyering for something I did not do. SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 00:51, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

But if you're considering my reply to other oppose voters, I think it's more than reasonable to rebut something. It is an RfC, which is for discussing things. It isn't a discussion if the proposer can't rebut, especially if it's directed at them. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 00:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

In saying that, I will step back from the RfC for my own wellbeing. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 00:58, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

I am talking about your commentary on everyone's opinion (and just from looking at the history of the page, without burying myself within it). IMO it is a really poor practice and very combative. You are entitled to raise the RFC, and to have your opinion. What gives you the right to think that you can comment or challenge other's opinions? How would you feel if the roles were reversed? Others don't have independent minds and points of views?  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

I never claimed I had the right to "challenge" other's opinions. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 21:25, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Just a quick thank you

I don't normally respond to opposes, but I just wanted to thank you for your candid comment — I really appreciate honest feedback, and I entirely understand and respect your position. I hope in time I am able to rebuild the trust. Kind regards — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 11:15, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, TheresNoTime, thank you for the message! I believe this nomination will pass, but if it didn't I'd definitely support you if there are no issues by around June (which is long enough) were there no additional issues. All the best, --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 11:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Civility warnings

Hi! When leaving messages like this, it's best to provide a link to the diff you're referencing. Not doing so makes it harder for others to verify it, and weakens your message. Regards, Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 15:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@Vermont: Sure thing and thanks for the reminder. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 21:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations, dear administrator!

Congratulations, SHB2000! You now have the rights of an administrator on Meta-Wiki. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Adminstrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-adminconnect. You may find Meta:Admin handbook to be useful. Please also check or add your entry to the Template:List of administrators. You're also allowed to subscribe to the metawiki-admins private mailing list (subscription instructions on that page). Again, congratulations and welcome to the team. --M/ (talk) 06:00, 10 May 2024 (UTC) Thank you, M7, and the community for entrusting me with sysop tools! I promise to use them wisely :-). --SHB2000 (t • c) 06:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC) The amount of RfAs I'm missing on meta is actually starting to get on my nerves. Congrats :) --Ferien (talk) 14:26, 11 May 2024 (UTC) Thank you, Ferien! I feel the same way missing quite a fair number of Commons RfAs :-(. --SHB2000 (t • c) 22:09, 11 May 2024 (UTC) Congratulations on having the sysop tools! You will make a good administrator, I believe! :-) Haoreima (talk) 13:57, 16 May 2024 (UTC) Haha, hopefully I will ;-). --SHB2000 (t • c) 21:05, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Check your email again about that private filter

I have sent a reply to your response about that filter via email and I can make some fixes to it since a bot triggers it resulting in some FPs. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 03:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Yep, I've replied to your email. --SHB2000 (t • c) 11:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

ReportSolver

Hi! I noticed you are using my script:) Regarding your edits on RfD - if you click on "(C)" button near to each option you will be able to add a comment. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 08:48, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@AramilFeraxa: Yep, figured out the hard way haha :P. I will say, though, your script is insanely useful – I wish more wikis had a script like this (localised, ofc). Thanks for writing it! --SHB2000 (t • c) 09:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Template:Cs1

I am going to assume 56501640 was just an overzealous deletion. Please look at the transclusions and linked Wikidata before deleting things next time. Thank you, —Uzume (talk) 00:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the transclusions in the future and apologies for that oversight. --SHB2000 (t • c) 04:24, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Zulf

Good day, please consider revoking the autopatrol user right you gave per what I've commented at Meta:Requests for translation adminship/Zulf. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 14:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

@Minorax: Done – it's a shame because the user demonstrated some change (manually patrolling each and every one of their translations was somewhat of a pain), but alas, here we stand today. --SHB2000 (t • c) 21:58, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

About Template:Equal

I see that you redirected the template to Template:=. However, Using of Template:Equal leads to transclusions of Template:=, which is deprecated. It is better to delete the whole page instead of leaving a redirect. 阿南之人 (talk) 03:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

In any case, propose this again on WM:RFD, but I won't unilaterally delete the page. --SHB2000 (t • c) 03:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Test and co-create a new feature for reusing references with different details

Hi,

this is Lina and Eline from the Technical Wishes product team at Wikimedia Deutschland. We hope this message finds you well!

We are currently working on a solution to help Wikimedians easily reuse references with different details – a problem related to several Community Wishlist Survey wishes (partially) supported by you (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4).

We want to invite you to a user testing session. During the session, you can test a prototype for Visual Editor and provide your feedback. Sessions will take 30–45 minutes, compensation is available. If you are interested, please sign up here (privacy policy).

Please note that most likely, we won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. We will try to test with a diverse group of wiki contributors. If you’re a fit, we will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

Hope to hear from you soon, and please let us know if you have any questions!

Best, Lina Farid (WMDE) (talk) 18:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Sanitized CSS request

Thanks for having deleted Template:CSS/Campaignpage. As a secondary request, could you please set the content model of Template:CSS/Campaignpage.css to "Sanitized CSS" instead of "wikitext"? --Geert Van Pamel (WMBE) 11:40, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Done --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:06, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Unintentional?

Just wanted to know if the placement of translate tags/t-unit numbers here was an unintentional error? _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 09:09, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Kept

Hi, just letting you know that if you use the button "(C)" next to "kept" it will open a dialog box for adding a comment, which will have the same effect :) The same way it works with other options. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 13:53, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Japanese Wiktionary deletions

Can you double check if the deletion of these categories was in line with policy? Was the deletion urgently required? I don't think "empty category" is a valid speedy deletion reason at Japanese Wiktionary. You can certainly turn those speedy deletion requests into regular deletion requests, though. Such deletion could be reasonable, but the local policy seems to say that you cannot skip discussion and just delete. whym (talk) 09:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

@Whym: I've undeleted them and my apologies for the oversight for not fully checking jawikt's speedy deletion criteria (most wikis usually allow speedy deletion of empty categories, but still my oversight). Interesting policy, though, but ultimately it is up to the local community to decide. I will say, though, would you mind removing the speedy deletion tags on those categories if it's invalid? TIA, --SHB2000 (t • c) 11:40, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I don't think they are invalid requests, I would turn them into regular deletion requests. The reason I haven't is that it's cumbersome and there is no hurry.

One more thing - I don't think this was author requested: wikt:ja:Template:CategoryTOC/cs/min. The requester moved the page and requested speedy deletion, but they didn't create the original page. whym (talk) 10:05, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

global rename permissions

Hi @SHB2000, I would like to volunteer help to change usernames, but I don't know if I meet the requirements or not. my regards -- Gerges (talk) 15:01, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@Gerges: Hmm, interesting question. I think you'd fulfil all the policy requirements, but there's an unwritten rule where you kinda have to have at least 1 advanced permission; I would definitely consider interface admin to be an advanced perm and support your request, but I'm not sure if others see the same. I would still say go for it – worst case, your request fails and you try again in a few months or years. --SHB2000 (t • c) 23:41, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
