Is the source code for User:EssjayBot II/III available?Hello. I'm interested in running a script similar to User:Werdnabot's archiver and that of User:EssjayBot II/ III; I've been told by User:Essjay that you wrote the archival code for his bots. While I'm currently planning on writing my own code to do the job, I was wondering if the code for Essjay's bots was available, and if so, whether I could use that as a starting place for my own bot script? Thanks. Mike Peel 10:42, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was {{subst:PAGENAME|Article|And this is some extra text.|n}} Could you set me right please, oh and happy new year and all that. Cheers Khukri ( talk . contribs) 09:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Very cool userpage!Do you mind if I borrow/steal some of the code for my userpage? I'll make enough changes that it won't be exactly like yours; I just like the collapsible box design. Let me know here, I'll watch the page. Thanks! -- weirdoactor t| c 20:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Do not deleted sockpuppet-tagged userpagesI have just restored user:GoOdCoNtEnT, User:Anecdotesarecool, user:Johnnyp2000, user:Michael Woods, and user:Ffffffffffffffff333333 - all of which had been tagged and sockpuppets and all of which you had deleted. Do not delete these, or any other sockpuppet tagged userpages, again. Raul654 22:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

SorterDo you still keep User:Misza13/Scripts/Watchlist sorter working? It seems like a really good idea to me, but it doesn't seem to work. I see you haven't updated it in a while though, so maybe that's the problem. Just wondering. :) - cohesion 22:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Some stuff about my user page.Can you give me some pointers on it? For one thing, can you help me install a proper status switcher? I made a userbox and it's pretty convenient, but when I heard about yours I checked out the page for it, and it seems kind of complicated from my perspective. Anyway please help me in that area! -- SuperLuigi31 01:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC) Okay, as instructed on User:Misza13/Scripts/Status switcher, do the following:
'''<div style="border: 1px solid black; background: white; float: right; position: relative; top: -30px; padding: 5px">SuperLuigi31's status: {{ #switch: {{{1}}} | in=<span style="color: green;">IN</span> | busy=<span style="color: #FFAA00;">BUSY</span> | out=<span style="color: red;">OUT</span> }} </div>'''
Once done, you can go back to User:SuperLuigi31/StatusTemplate and edit it to adjust how the status display should look like (by default it's just an ugly white box with the text "SuperLuigi31's status: IN/BUSY/OUT" in different colors). Good luck & tell me if you have any problems. Миша 13 10:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

"High risk" templatesHi Misza13. Has there been any consensus on all of the protections you've been making lately? Could you please point me to the discussion. In particular, I don't see why WikiProject templates like {{ WikiProject California}} need to be protected and I think it will discourage WikiProject participation if these sort of things are done needlessly. Thanks. Mike Dillon 18:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Iff you are going to protect {{ WikiProject California}}, then add {{ protected template}} to it so that it shows up in Category:Protected templates. If protected templates are not being tagged, then that category probably greatly underrepresents the number of templates that are protected. For example, it looks like at least 1/3rd of the templates listed at Wikipedia:List of indefinitely protected pages# High use templates haven't been tagged. As far as I can tell, NONE of the templates listed at Wikipedia:List of protected pages#Other pages has been tagged (roughly 150 templates). Blank Verse 00:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
It is the whole point in protecting them - so that they are not edited (see the job queue argument above). I may eventually tag all of them, but gradually, one at a time and during hours of low activity. Миша 13 08:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Can you please unprotect this? I would like to remove a redundant category. -- NE2 05:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Essjaybot IIIHi. Essjay told me that you wrote this bot so I figured I would forward you my suggestions - 1 (easy) - if creating a new archive page (like it did for me) can it put {{ talkarchive}} at the top of the page? - 2 (harder) - autoupdate {{ archive box}} if it exists (just the archive name is more than enough). Thanks for the great tool! If it is Perl I can help. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 14:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Inappropriate humor tagsHi, I noticed you're listed as in charge of the Inappropriate Humor tags on the current, um, warning... unification... project. I've noticed that, at times, there are overlap issues with the first two tags, where you have smiley faces rather than the usual icon. I didn't want to change your tags myself, but I experimented with Preview and I think that if you delete the |left switch from the end of the relevant image tags, the problem is fixed. I'm not certain, but I think that works. Hopefully you'll find this handy - the project looks amazing.

I was creating the "Official" DXRAW sockpuppet but before i even had a chance to tag it with a Alternate accounts it got blocked. Could i please get it unblocked. Thanks DXRAW 13:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC) User Talk page deletionsHi Misza13, Back in November you deleted these pages: User_talk:71.204.14.32 and User talk:216.91.92.18, both with the edit summary Temporary Wikipedian userpage not edited for a month. Both the IP addresses have been indef blocked because of spamming for Kellen company (see the WikProject Spam archive for more details). I believe the talk page content would provide context should the blocks need to be reconsidered, or if Kellen attempts to start editing again. Would you consider restoring the pages?
