Hello JJMC89, you recently changed the "to" parameter in these templates from PAGENAME to FULLPAGENAME. After auto-substing this results in [1] with a nonsensical "Material from Luftwaffe was split to Talk:German Air Force" message instead of displaying the main article page. The former parameter setting seems to have been correct, the new one produces this error. As I am not experienced enough with the whole auto-substing routine, I am hesitant to revert this immediately myself - especially while AnomieBOT is currently working on these cases. But it would be good if you could double-check the results please. Pinging @ Primefac: aswell, who did the latest edits in both templates. Best regards. GermanJoe ( talk) 07:32, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}
, not {{FULLPAGENAME}}
. In this case, reverting my edit would have been a good idea since the substitution was working for article talk pages but not other talk pages of which there were few cases. My blunder was cleaned up thanks to
Primefac. Sorry about the mess. —

Always something new to learn and do on Wikipedia! Tell me more about "Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls" and how to fix them. First thing is to avoid creating them. Sorry, AWB and my setup instructions did that. Second is to detect them (PetScan), and third is to fix them. I see how to fix them by direct manual changes, but perhaps there is a tool.-- Dthomsen8 ( talk) 23:44, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

This applies to sufficiently identical copies [...] of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion. [...] This criterion also does not cover content [...] that was deleted via [...] speedy deletion. There hasn't been a previous deletion discussion, so G4 does not apply. — JJMC89 15:17, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
While the bot's been
approved, I'm not entirely sure if
this is written correctly, so could you do a test run of 25 to check that it's not broken? Thanks,

Proposing articles for deletion is hard! Defending the proposal is even harder! And the payoff is usually not worth the enemies you might make. But I think you did a very thorough job on this one, and wanted to acknowledge that somehow. There is no "deletionist" barnstar (yet... there aught to be) but in the mean time there is the Original Barnstar, which will have to do. Good work! KDS4444 ( talk) 08:30, 15 November 2016 (UTC) |

Hello, JJMC89. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi! I saw you reverted my colleague's edits to Plaza Sesamo because of WP:COI. Sorry about that! I started a new thread on the talk page to propose the change. If you could review it, that'd be great. Thanks! - DNL ( talk) 19:51, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Heyo! Your recent change to Template:Infobox islands seems to have broken the template... Normally I would just fix it rather than reverting but I'm not certain what you were trying to achieve so I figured best to let you fix it. However, since it completely broke the template, I reverted it for now. Let me know if I can help. -- Zackmann08 ( Talk to me/ What I been doing) 06:18, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi JJMC89. You are invited to comment at a further discussion on the implementation of this user right to patrol and review new pages that is taking place at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/RfC on patrolling without user right. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 13:52, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello JJMC89. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 14:02, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
