Hey Legoktm. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:39, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello Logoktm
I try to find current editor for SW page here on wiki and you were the only one I could find. I'm sorry for disturbing you if that's not correct.
I would like to create same page in other language, I can provide translation, but need a technical support on how to do things here on wiki, as I had no previous experience. I would appreciate your help here, or any advices would be just great
Thank you for your work here and have a great day take care GG AmaliaGG ( talk) 11:01, 3 September 2013 (UTC) AmaliaGG ( talk) 05:06, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. I've just learnt a bit about HBC_Archive_Indexerbot, but gather that you may have replaced it (as User:HBC_Archive_Indexerbot/logs stopped eons ago).
Please could you point me to its successor? (Apols. if I missed a pointer I should have spotted.) Thanks, Trafford09 ( talk) 05:11, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Actually, I now gather that the successor is Legobot(_15), which is Active. Does this produce logs, as HBC_Archive_Indexerbot used to? Is there a page where I could learn a bit more about Legobot(_15)? Thanks, Trafford09 ( talk) 05:50, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Ah - I see from here that Task 15 hasn't run since 25 March. I guess we all wish you luck, juggling all the fine Bots you run, finding time to reactivate some of them. Trafford09 ( talk) 04:23, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Legoktm. I don't know if anybody had mentioned this before, but this Talk page layout doesn't lend itself well to those like me who have inferior eyesight. You see, I use Firefox for viewing WP, and normally I do so with WP pages zoomed in by 2 notches. To demonstrate this on this page, if you are in Firefox, hold down Ctrl and hit the + key twice.
This expands the writing etc. and, on nearly all WP pages, it allows text to wrap around to the next line. However, this Talk page won't allow the automatic wrap-round - I think because of the green-line border running around the topics. So, I have to use the horiz. scroll bar, or strain my eyes a little.
So, I just wondered how committed you were to retaining the green-line border.
Just a thought - please don't let me (/us) disturb the fine work you do for WP. Regards, Trafford09 ( talk) 04:37, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Wow - that was quick! It looks absolutely great now. Many thanks. Trafford09 ( talk) 05:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

A few questions if you are willing and able to optimize this code. I thought there were versions of IE that "indexof" didn't work in.
Maybe we don't need it at all. Perhaps
(( mw.config.get( 'wgUserName' ) == null ) || mw.config.get( 'wgUserEditCount' ) < 2 ))
would be more portableIt would also allow a new editor to opt in after their first edit, which is a better approximation.
If you can do this with a default gadget and we can do that without WMF's assistance, great. While I can code JavaScript, I don't know much about MediaWiki installations. That makes me tread carefully and only want to do very simple things.— Kww( talk) 06:26, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Legoktm,
I came across the above article two days ago while browsing through the Back-log pages and noted that it was marked for speedy deletion (sorry, missed the deletion date). I did some research and stumbled upon some references and subject matter, which I deemed could save the article (sorry again, I didn't edit it that day but saved my work on Word as I was a little unfinished and then had to stop work and rush off on an errand). Lo and behold, when I searched for the article, today, it had been already deleted.
I was just wondering, if you'd be interested to go over the work I did on the article, just in case. If yes, I could send you the same for your kind perusal.

I see that the wikipedia page for Andy LoCascio was just deleted for notability reasons. Please note that all of the information on that page was completely factual and I am indeed to host of Northeast Angling TV (see neangling.com) with a web reach of over 500K visitors per month across mulitple channels. I am also the founder of Sound Strategies (a very significant NY SEO and development firm). We are the developers for the current scotusblog.com website which is the first website in history to receive a Peabody award. If it is not too much trouble, I would like to see that page restored.
