Welcome To My Talk Page Welcome to my talk page. Anyone who knows what they are talking about should feel free to respond to any questions. All I ask is that you keep it PG (that means no trolling, cyberbullying, cussing, vandalism, etc.). If you are feeling angry then please calm down before you leave a message. Please note that I will usually respond faster on IRC. If there is a private matter that you need to discuss with me, please email me. Happy Talking! |
Greetings! I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta test my new tool, RedWarn, specifically designed for the fastest vandalism reverts in the west (yee-haw!). If you're interested, please see see the RedWarn page for installation instructions. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your page. Your feedback is much appreciated! JamesHSmith6789 ( talk) 23:11, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey! Thanks for testing RedWarn. This is an important message to notify you that effective immediately, you need to change your common.js. This is due to my usurp request to change my username from an alias, JamesHSmith6789, to a more identifiable one, Ed6767 being accepted.
To do this, edit your config.js and remove the existing RedWarn script line and replace it with this one:
importScript("User:Ed6767/redwarn.js");
Click here to edit your common.js
And, here's another reminder to please, please, leave feedback and report all bugs on the talk page. By reporting bugs, you can help get them fixed by the next daily release.
Also, if you're interested in live discussion regarding the development and help with using RedWarn, why not join our new Discord server. It's easy to sign up and you can get help and chat with other RedWarn users.
Again, thank you so much for being willing to beta test RedWarn! I really appreciate it. Ed6767 ( talk) 12:32, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello RedWarn tester! I hate to reitterate, but thank you so much for being willing to test RedWarn, I really appreciate it.
In the past few updates, I have added AIV (admin) reporting, a preferences panel, themes, customisation options and made many, many bug fixes and added many features based on your suggestions and feedback.
Unfortunately, recently feedback has run dry.
Even if you do not use RedWarn at the moment, or you do (tysm), I would greatly appreciate feedback of any kind. While I go round Twinkle users, sounding like that broadband salesperson in the mall that nobody ever wants to speak to, I'd like some updated feedback from recent and current users.
Any sort of feedback below would be greately appreciated!

My goal is to create the most user friendly moderation tool, and that's why I need your feedback to help make this truely the most favorable anti-vandal tool. While we will never elliminate vandalism on this site, we can get closer to fighting it quickly and easily.
Many thanks for your continued support. Ed6767 ( talk) 00:19, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
If you do not wish to get these feedback reminders, let me know on my talk page.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu ( talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!
