Would you consider starting a mass TfD for all of the citation translation templates listed in the first half of Template:Non-English citation templates? I am not comfortable enough with the TfD process to jump through all of the hoops.
I believe that all of these templates should be kept but made into subst-only templates. I think we might need an ongoing daily or weekly bot run to process them, since they are usually inside of ref tags and new instances are added to en.WP periodically. Thanks for considering this work. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 23:52, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Here's another one for you: Template:C. S. Peirce external links. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:42, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure what to say, You broke yet another template -- in this case, all of the uses of Template:planetmath reference are being displayed as REDIRECT Template:PlanetMath instead of being in their proper form. I understand that you are trying to do cleanup of some form, but running around and wontonly causing damage is not acceptable behavior on Wikipedia. I believe that you should engage in some discussion at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Mathematics before engaging in any more of this kind of activity. 67.198.37.16 ( talk) 07:16, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Was Category:Templates that wrap cite web intended? (As opposed to Category:Templates that wrap Cite web). – Jonesey95 ( talk) 14:24, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
I don't know what it is, but you made some sort of typo at {{ GeoTemplate}}. When I clicked an instance of {{ coord}}, I was taken to [9], where the relevant section said:
,
Google Maps, in
OpenStreetMap, or select one of the services listed below:
Basically the same thing can be viewed at [10]. Because it was visibly not working (even though I'm experienced here, I thought everything had broken; I don't want it to confuse casual readers), I've reverted your addition of the link to the new service. Of course, this is merely because it's not working properly; please put it back once you've figured out the error. Nyttend ( talk) 13:46, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Greetings. AnomieBOT is misbehaving by not correctly substituting some templates. This is because the templates contain comments of something like this. I was told that you are to blame. Can you please check? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 04:46, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Instead of AnomieBot should should have used Wikipedia:AWB/RTP. Now we have ~500 broken templates with a lot of empty parameters too. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 04:57, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Andy, Wildscreen has appeared on the Bristol cleanup list as someone added an "advertisement banner" to it after edits by a user called User:Wildscreen. As your name is on the talk page as "Wikipedia Outreach Ambassador" to ARKive I din't want to dive in and start changing it or adding templated comments to users talk pages if you had appropriate contacts there to have a quiet word in someones ear about WP:COI, Wikipedia:Username policy, WP:NPOV etc. Could you take a look?— Rod talk 20:08, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
phab:T109915 should be coming soon to a wiki near you. It looked like the sort of thing that would interest you. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 20:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Do you agree that at Template talk:Infobox person, there is consensus to migrate the data in "alma_mater" to education? -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 23:44, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Re the discussion at Help talk:Citation Style 1, do you intend to put forward any firm proposals in relation to that template? If not, I'd like to put forward a few myself. Mjroots ( talk) 06:40, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kenneth Chance, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dutch. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I notice you have suggested a number of templates be migrated to Wikidata, including some football ones without checking with WT:FOOTY to see if this is a good idea or not. For example, with {{ Soccerbase}}, how will the bot deal with players who have multiple profiles at Soccerbase? Giant Snowman 07:07, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
