Hi. :) Thanks for documenting the permission for Gene expression programming at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2012 October 14. I just wanted to let you know that the permission tag you placed on the article's talk page - {{ PermissionOTRS}} - is for file pages. It doesn't include mention of the source, so it's not really usable for article talk pages. (Files name their source in the file description, of course.) {{ ConfirmationOTRS}} was designed for article talk pages. It includes parameters to name the source and also identify which license applies. I've changed the template out, but just wanted to make the distinction for future reference. :) (And happy New Year!) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:52, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Legoktm, you seem to be very bot-savvy, I'm hoping you can shed light on something. A project I'm doing some work for (
WP:MEDICINE) would like to be able to write and customize its own reports. We've been using Mr.Z-man's popular pages report on the Toolserver, but we'd like to customize it further. Z-man's code is publicly available but it makes direct database calls and of course it's no use to run remotely. I see the instructions on how to ask for a Toolserver account. Do you have any more info on this process? Can just anyone who asks for a Toolserver account get one? Anything else one should know? (Is this even your area of interest or expertise?) Cheers...

The RFC for TAFI is nearing it's conclusion, and it's time to hammer out the details over at the project's talk page. There are several details of the project that would do well with wider input and participation, such as the article nomination and selection process, the amount and type of articles displayed, the implementation on the main page and other things. I would like to invite you to comment there if you continue to be interested in TAFI's development. -- Nick Penguin( contribs) 02:45, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Just curious: would you mind requesting approval for the {{ Start date}} bot request for {{ Infobox NRHP}}? What opposition exists was either opposition to the concept (Doncram) or someone telling us to get approval before deploying this microformat (Hellknowz), and since community consensus supported deploying the microformat, neither one is particularly relevant.

I saw your recent edit where you removed the https prefix on some URLS and you mentioned protocol-relative links. Will this always work? I'm often annoyed when I see padlocked diffs that go to a URL beginning with ' https://'. Your scheme may avoid the issue and allow everyone to have what they want. If it's safe to do so I would start submitting diffs in protocol-relative form wherever diffs are expected. Is this documented anywhere? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 19:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey boss,
Have a slight issue with this article, as you're aware, which you may be able to help with. Recently “Uncyclopedia” has split into two different entities. As a very quick history lesson:
Which has meant that the community at the “new” domain is trying to pimp out their own variant of it, while the community at the “old” domain has been trying to keep their existing status alive. This has led to some more hawkish elements trying to create competition between the two. I'm definitely not impartial - neither is K7L(?), Isarra, Aimsplode, or numerous others who I've had edit wars on this article with in the past. But I'm trying to find an agreeable compromise where both domains are equally reflected. With the exception of me mistyping the URI of the new domain, I'd been trying to have the links relating back to both. I had changed back the sources to where they had originally been linked as well.
While this secondary aspect is unimportant - and fairness suggests that having half go one way and half go the other, as they lead to equally viable sources - having both domains reflected in the info box and in the “external links” section is relevant. And given the content of both sites is near identical, and both have a claim to being Uncyclopedia - because they both are - stripping this page of one or the other URI is inaccurate. Alexa doesn't help in determining which is more “popular” as the newer domain has only been in place for a short period (realistically only a fortnight since it has been “open”), and the older domain reflects the entirety of wikia.com, of which Uncyclopedia is 1.10% of the total.
I want to have as little as possible to do with keeping the Wikipedia entry accurate and equitable. But as there is an active element trying to remove all links to the Wikia sub-domain from every source possible and replace it with the newer domain, being inactive on this means allowing in accuracy and inconsistency to become part of the page relating back to the twin communities. And create two separate entries for this page is ridiculous at this stage.
Can I rely upon the Wikipedian community to come to an agreeable compromise on this - ideally those that have no vested interest in one side of the other, and maintain the page as NPOV as possible? If so, I'm happy to walk away and leave it in your capable hands.
As an aside - do you have a semi-automated method by which I can go through the Wikia based site and remove all hard-coded links written as “http://Uncyclopedia.wikia.com…” with “[{{fullurl:…”? Your coding knowledge and ability to create a decent bot is obviously superior to mine. PuppyOnTheRadio talk —Preceding undated comment added 23:03, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
