I'm not sure which BLPs you follow, but at Talk:Elliot Page certainly most of the misgendering comments have been removed (e.g. here, here, here and here). Only a few examples if misgendering survive in that Talk archive - mostly semiprotected edit requests that were quickly answered. I am curious where you see such issues being resolved so differently.

Regarding this edit, I added up all of the CU numbers, and only came up with 800. The total at the bottom shows 4,862. Did something go wrong with the script used to calculate this table? I figured something was up when I was in the top 10 CU's! SQL Query Me! 06:46, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Primefac. I have a question about this PrimeBOT edit. The bot converted a WikiEd template that is often used by WikiEd students on article talk pages from a template to a regular talk page post. The bot added the post to the top of the page which is generally not done for new posts. Is this post a "sticky post" in that it will never be archived? I only noticed this after trying to figure out what was going on at WP:HD#Archiving. If the editor who was asking about this at the HD once again tries to archive that talk page, they might end up archiving the post added by the bot as well since it's sitting at the top of the talk page. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:27, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

This is rather extraneous, so I collapsed it and don't expect a response unless of course you want to. Several years ago I asked you an odd question and you replied in the negative. Let me tell you about last night: I had a series of dreams, one which I was looking at a specific article; I could read the title although everything was blurry. I went to reference 7, and I understood it needed to be fixed. So today I went to the article from the dream and looked at reference seven. It was just fine. I ran the article through a dead link checker; it was actually reference nine that needed fixing. Either the dream was wrong, or with the blurred view from the dream I mistook a nine for a seven.

Hi Primefac, my laptop is badly damaged and it would take more than a month to come back. Part of AfC and NPP, I request you to temporarily grant me page mover rights on my mobile account, and put them to stop by likely 40 days?

Hello Primefac, I hope you are well. Yesterday whilst patrolling recent changes, I reverted an edit which turned out to be correct. I apologised to the user in question although they are getting very irate with me on their talk page and they are saying something about many other users too, I’m not really sure what’s going on.
this is the user who i am communicating with, hope you can help. Many thanks

Thanks for the heads up, but the the public scolding has taught me not to try to be of help again. Best would have been a message on my tp. It's amazing how being Arbcom members and bureaucrats changes people's approach to experienced but common or garden Wikislaves. I can understand why there is a consensus against editors wearing both hats. Retirement is obviously the best place for me, but it's hard to let go when you've left a legacy you're fairly proud of, even as an anonymous username, one that goes back before many of our users were born.

Hi Primefac, apologies for the intrusion given how busy you are. In July 2021 you granted me AfC probationary reviewer rights. Noting that is now nearly 12 months since then, I am just wondering if you might know when you would have a chance to assess my promotion to reviewer? My AfC stats are here if that helps. With appreciation. Cabrils ( talk) 23:03, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to bother you I’m sure you’re busy. I wanted to ask if you could assist me or direct me to someone who could assist me with the singer Chris Brown's page. I believe that the edits on his page are violating mos:LEAD & WP:NPOV. The lead section does fit the four paragraph guidelines but those paragraphs are EXTREMELY lengthy. The lead is full of trivia in my opinion things like radio records that the artist has broken etc should be restricted to his legacy section or on the song's lead page. Also he’s being dubbed as "the King of R&B" "by several" in his lead when the citation provided only states that radio personality Ebro Darden and his fans have called him such. Which is not enough for someone's lead on Wikipedia. I’ve tried to give a more neutral edit that was shorter and less biased in his favor without removing too much of the information provided and it keeps getting reverted by editors who are clearly his fans. What can or should I do? Kanyfug ( talk) 10:16, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
I also want to add that several editors have complained about this on the talk page. And I also want to make note of a mention in the lead that states that Billboard has called him one of the most influential and successful R&b acts. Which is completely false, the citation states that he "become one of the biggest names in R&B and pop" in the past nine years. Kanyfug ( talk) 10:20, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Primefac I got a message from you re: copyright of a portrait of Patrick Whelan, which seems to have disappeared now. Can you please resend, so that I can look into this issue and fix it? Thanks Helen Larkin ( talk) 14:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, Hope you're fine & just to let you know that I've fixed my signature as per your suggestion. I want to request you to look after the rejection of Draft:Tulsi Bhagat. I created this draft almost one year back and that time it was accepted from draft to mainspace and later it was again moved back to draft from mainspace as the reviewer mentioned that it was his mistake as i don't remember much but it can be found on my archive or you can easily access the deletion log in that page. But I'm quite confused that one user rejected the draft Draft:Tulsi Bhagat. Being a new page reviewers I'm well known about those things and we don't create draft to get rejected while it might pass notability and was weakly passed before too & being a member and editor of Wikiproject Nepal , As per WP:BIO, this article is clearly notable and 3 independent reliable sources are required for AFC pass, it has more than 3 sources. The reviwers seems to lack the knowledge of proper AFC reviewing instructions guidelines as they have rejected the draft instead of declining which is surprising. In only clear cut cases the draft get reject otherwise it is declined. Regards, DIVINE 00:19, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, again, Primefac,
I work a lot with expiring drafts and I noticed today that PrimeBOT was working Task 30 in Draft space fine until April 2022, did 2 more Task 30 edits in May in Draft space and then hasn't been active since then. I notice that its description says Remove deprecated parameters from templates when requested
so maybe edits in Draft space just haven't been requested lately. I see it's been busy with Task 30 edits in article space so maybe the latest requested jobs just haven't involved drafts. We recently had something similar happen with FrescoBot's work in Draft space, it was very active until October 2021, went inactive for a few months and then came back to its regular level of activity in April 2022 so maybe this is part of a regular cycle of activity and inactivity that I hadn't noticed before.
Any way, I thought I'd just check in and see what was up. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 20:50, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I rescued this from G13 and resubmitted as myself because I assume the original author/translator ( Hypuxylun) will not be addressing the issues that caused you to decline. Am I right in understanding that you have assessed this is a notable topic but there are problems with the content of the article? I appreciate that this is an article about a living person so special requirements apply. We strive to have articles without unsourced material that is likely to be challenged but that's a higher bar than I'm used to clearing with my AfC reviews. What are the exact sourcing requirement for AfC acceptance? I'm happy to trim down the Career section as necessary to clear this. ~ Kvng ( talk) 13:38, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

An administrator had already declined deletion on the same page and moved it to Draft:Razvitak; since then the references were added (and subsequently it was expanded slightly). The deletion tag was added by the same editor whose tag was removed on the version now in draft - the content was almost identical, so this is a repeat addition of a tag already declined. It seems to have been about a defunct business, and not advertising anything; the first revision, still in the draft page, was a translation (probably using Google Translate) of a Croatian Wikipedia article, which was created by another editor who is autopatrolled and has more than 70,000 edits there. I don't know if the sources are enough for our notability guidelines, but it should probably be merged with the draft or sent to AFD. 82.132.186.65 ( talk) 20:27, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

I only start looking for materials here at this time of the night, because I know that translation software is easy to "hard translation" "It will not automatically skip vocabulary elements such as "male, female, neutral", and it is easy to appear "new words".

Hello again. Although I had originally asked for AfC reviewer rights to review redirects and categories, which you have granted, I would now like to slightly expand my AFC reviewing scope to include disambiguation pages. Thanks. NotReallySoroka ( talk) 11:53, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, I found you randomly in the bureaucrat list, I am not forum shopping. I was wondering if you could comment on the discussion I started on the Administrators Noticeboard titled "Challenging closure of Political legacies thread", which is related to the proper use of the template to close discussions, and which may be about to be archived? So far I think no administrators have shown interest and haven't commented. The editors who have contributed to the thread clearly show they agree, but I think theirs are more personal opinions because they don't show me Wikipedia guidance that back up most of their assertions or contradict mine. As a result I am confused and it would be great if someone can give me proper guidance about the issue of closing talk page discussions using the relevant template. A few editors say it's a small issue but I disagree because in talk pages is where consensus is reached to edit pages. Here is the version I last wrote on the thread [3].

span
as indicated in the instructions. It is important because the styles you are overriding are directly in the HTML, which means they are last to load. So there are two ways to override them: 1) Drop !important

Hello @ Primefac I hope you're doing well. I tagged the article as Wikipedia:CSD#G12 doesn't it satisfy that?.

This applies to ...copyrighted material ... where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving(emphasis added); with a cast list, a reasonable number of references, an infobox, and a non-infringing lead sentence, there was enough to merit not deleting under G12. That being said, if there were no references or infobox I probably would have deleted as G12, since a one-sentence opener about a film is easily re-written and not worth saving.

I created the Kishore Mahato page a few days back, like a few weeks back, then someone moved it to draft and I was working on it. Later on, Kishore debuted in an ODI and I added the reference about it and requested Lugnuts to review and accept the draft because he has more knowledge about cricketers, which can be seen here [4]. Instead of moving an article from draft space, which I was creating and working on for almost one month, he created a redirect the next day, and after a few days, he created a page himself. I'm kind of speechless now and thinking about whether he has done the right thing or wrong thing. Being an active AFC reviewer, I could have accepted the draft myself and moved it to mainspace as I knew the draft was ready to move to mainspace but it was wrong to accept my own draft and asked for help. I'm speechless after seeing such activities from a veteran user and feel bad as I was working on this article and had invested time in it. All I want to know is can someone histmerge it or not?

It appears you recently renamed the "infobox hockey team" template to "infobox ice hockey team". I modified the template documentation to reflect the new name, but when I was updating an article that uses the template I got the message "Preview warning: Page using Template:Infobox hockey team with unknown parameter "website"". I am wondering if you can fix the template so that the message is not generated. Whether you can fix it or not, the message itself uses the old name of the template "Infobox hockey team". Whatever is generating the message should also be updated to use the new template name, "Infobox ice hockey teams". Thank you. OvertAnalyzer ( talk) 23:51, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Primefac, you reverted my {{ db-g6}} request because you mentioned that it was a valid partial dab, but "Barbie (franchise)" and "Barbie" aren't the same. I'm certain that someone looking for "Barbie the franchise or universe" and not either "Barbie herself in real life or her/its history" is rather looking for the article on Barbie's friends and family. Since you've made a valid point, I've changed the redirect to that article. Also, the original page move from "Barbie (film series)" to "Barbie (franchise)" is considered by 2 Wikipedians as vague, but since it could be a valid DAB, I've dabbed the article with the {{ disambig}} tags I could get.

Hello, Primefac, I hope you are well. I was wondering if you could help me with something which requires administrator tools. Basically, I have had three previous username, two of which had user pages created when I was known as those usernames. However, when I was renamed, the user pages were not automatically moved. The reason for this was because I had them deleted per my request although recently I had them restored. I did ask the admin if it was possible and they said no, although I have learnt about hist merge which is when the page history is moved from an incorrect location to the correct one. If it would be possible, please could you merge the histories of User:Blackazz and User:Blackazz968 to User:Blanchey please? It’s a fairly small issue although for me it would be nice to have all my old user page designs in one place. If this is possible, I assume that a redirect will automatically be placed in the old location and will the logs come together too? If this is not possible then no worries, I don’t want to be a burden to you at all, I just wanted to make sure every possibility was unturned. Many Thanks, Blanchey 💬 • 📝 09:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Primefac, I am QiuLiming1's IP sockpuppet. The reason that I watch Q28's contributions is that he is recently suspected for using sockpuppet IPs to edits in zhwiki, and he said at an edit summary of a unblock request "if its still not allowed, then I could only work in enwiki". I admit I didn't assume good faith, but I want to clarify at that time I thought that Q28 removed a edit test at a draft and requested speedy deletion at the draft, if that's the case, is that action still reasonable? 2601:647:4C00:D260:8964:FEE4:85A3:522D ( talk) 22:31, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
It is my understanding that a page with “(disambiguation)” in the title is only required where an ambiguous article name has a primary topic. Where there is no primary topic, a page with “(disambiguation)” to which nothing links and is itself a redirect is entirely pointless. Can you explain why such a page should not just be deleted?— Jeffro77 ( talk) 21:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. How are you with java? I knew a few editors who are good with java, but all of them are inactive. There is a userscript, but the creator hasnt edited in a few months User:Evad37/OneClickArchiver.js I am currently using the script on another wikipedia, and it is messing up with the archives if the talkpage is a subpage. eg, "user talk:KiranBOT/typos" is getting archived to "user talk:KiranBOT/Archive 1" (instead of "user talk:KiranBOT/typos/Archive 1"). On line 107, there is a regex for removing subpages. I am not good with regex, but is it possible to read the current page name, and the find "current page/Archive" and so on? How should we do that? Getting the archive name is in between line 88, and 117 —usernamekiran (talk) 17:34, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, can you help make the template not show gray numbers in places it shouldn't? - currently both winter and summer game years are shown. Winter games sohuld be shown only in winter sports articles and summer games in summer sports articles, example. Pelmeen10 ( talk) 10:12, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
|data4=
behaviour isn't set up properly - it either does nothing or checks for every variant. If the sports are split between seasons, then it's just a case of modifying that data4 #switch statement accordingly so that things like alpine skiing trigger the "winter" checks, while things like athletics trigger the "summer" checks.

Hello Primefac,
I just noticed that you granted NeverTry4Me AFC rights. As part of their unblock in February this user agreed to a ban on creating pages in article space and a requirement to go through AFC, see here. As far as I can tell that ban has never been appealed, which is why all their page creations still have to go through AFC. It doesn't seem appropriate for someone who is banned from creating articles and who is forced to use AFC for their creations to hold reviewer rights, arguably accepting drafts would be a violation of their ban.
More generally this user seems to have serious WP:HATCOLLECTING issues, and frequently requests rights that they don't need, can't use or don't even seem to understand, see for examples: [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. 192.76.8.85 ( talk) 23:09, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, can you please check my recent AfC reviews? I don't want any rights here, which I don't deserve. Additionally. I don't want to be mooted.

Good day @ Primefac,
After 10 years of being part of Wikipedia, I'm going to retire in December this year. Isn't surprise right? I can't take it anymore. I experienced the belittling of my other co editors on my ability as an editor/contributor. I've been insulted too much every time I edit the content I've created and what makes it worse is that they delete my content even though it's very important for the readers.
However, I am grateful and you have given me the opportunity to be a part of this website. I hope you give me one last chance to create or edit content before I retire for good. I hope you will remember me not only as an editor/contributor but as a good friend and most of all, a loving family member. Thank you very much! RenRen070193 ( talk) 08:57, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
Regarding Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment/Archive 121#Amendment request: Motion: Crouch, Swale (January 2022) I'm not sure that we need another RFC as at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject England/Parishes RfC users complained about them. Given we already have WP:GEOLAND and WP:NPLACE I don't think another RFC is needed or appropriate. As you can see at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes#Progress there are around 10,474 parishes in England and around 381 (3.6%) are missing. The only other countries with functioning 4th order divisions that have missing articles on the English Wikipedia that I can find (though I haven't checked many) are Wales and Portugal. Why should the 381 parishes be treated differently to the other 10093 or most other such places around the world? Why do I need to obtain consensus to treat them the same as most other places in the world?
What is the potential risk of removing the restrictions in full or part? As far as I can see the biggest concern is me creating large numbers of NN short articles but what evidence is there of that in 2022? Wouldn't something like 2 parish articles a week (on top of the 1 article a month on anything) and allow this to be reviewed every 2 weeks or something and allow a complete appeal in 6 months. Or perhaps just start with several parishes a day and allow appeal in 6 months. If the articles I create are unacceptable they can be moved to draftspace and/or the number of articles I can create reduced. Its perfectly reasonable for me to produce 5 or so good articles a day but not 100 so if it was only a few a day that should follow the consensus at the RFC that they shouldn't be mass created with little content.
Perhaps the restrictions could be removed completely with an indefinite suspended like the previous one I had on the geographical NC discussion ban.
Is is possible please to give me 1 chance to at least create more of the parish articles or even better just remove all my restrictions. What evidence is there that there is a significant risk of problems in 2022? Crouch, Swale ( talk) 20:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Primefac. I have a question about this PrimeBOT edit. The bot converted a WikiEd template that is often used by WikiEd students on article talk pages from a template to a regular talk page post. The bot added the post to the top of the page which is generally not done for new posts. Is this post a "sticky post" in that it will never be archived? I only noticed this after trying to figure out what was going on at WP:HD#Archiving. If the editor who was asking about this at the HD once again tries to archive that talk page, they might end up archiving the post added by the bot as well since it's sitting at the top of the talk page. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:27, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

This is rather extraneous, so I collapsed it and don't expect a response unless of course you want to. Several years ago I asked you an odd question and you replied in the negative. Let me tell you about last night: I had a series of dreams, one which I was looking at a specific article; I could read the title although everything was blurry. I went to reference 7, and I understood it needed to be fixed. So today I went to the article from the dream and looked at reference seven. It was just fine. I ran the article through a dead link checker; it was actually reference nine that needed fixing. Either the dream was wrong, or with the blurred view from the dream I mistook a nine for a seven.

Hi Primefac, apologies for the intrusion given how busy you are. In July 2021 you granted me AfC probationary reviewer rights.

Hi, sorry to bother you I’m sure you’re busy. I wanted to ask if you could assist me or direct me to someone who could assist me with the singer Chris Brown's page. I believe that the edits on his page are violating mos:LEAD & WP:NPOV. The lead section does fit the four paragraph guidelines but those paragraphs are EXTREMELY lengthy. The lead is full of trivia in my opinion things like radio records that the artist has broken etc should be restricted to his legacy section or on the song's lead page. Also he’s being dubbed as "the King of R&B" "by several" in his lead when the citation provided only states that radio personality Ebro Darden and his fans have called him such. Which is not enough for someone's lead on Wikipedia. I’ve tried to give a more neutral edit that was shorter and less biased in his favor without removing too much of the information provided and it keeps getting reverted by editors who are clearly his fans. What can or should I do? Kanyfug ( talk) 10:16, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
I also want to add that several editors have complained about this on the talk page. And I also want to make note of a mention in the lead that states that Billboard has called him one of the most influential and successful R&b acts. Which is completely false, the citation states that he "become one of the biggest names in R&B and pop" in the past nine years. Kanyfug ( talk) 10:20, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, Hope you're fine & just to let you know that I've fixed my signature as per your suggestion. I want to request you to look after the rejection of Draft:Tulsi Bhagat. I created this draft almost one year back and that time it was accepted from draft to mainspace and later it was again moved back to draft from mainspace as the reviewer mentioned that it was his mistake as i don't remember much but it can be found on my archive or you can easily access the deletion log in that page. But I'm quite confused that one user rejected the draft Draft:Tulsi Bhagat. Being a new page reviewers I'm well known about those things and we don't create draft to get rejected while it might pass notability and was weakly passed before too & being a member and editor of Wikiproject Nepal , As per WP:BIO, this article is clearly notable and 3 independent reliable sources are required for AFC pass, it has more than 3 sources. The reviwers seems to lack the knowledge of proper AFC reviewing instructions guidelines as they have rejected the draft instead of declining which is surprising. In only clear cut cases the draft get reject otherwise it is declined. Regards, DIVINE 00:19, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, again, Primefac,
I work a lot with expiring drafts and I noticed today that PrimeBOT was working Task 30 in Draft space fine until April 2022, did 2 more Task 30 edits in May in Draft space and then hasn't been active since then. I notice that its description says Remove deprecated parameters from templates when requested
so maybe edits in Draft space just haven't been requested lately. I see it's been busy with Task 30 edits in article space so maybe the latest requested jobs just haven't involved drafts. We recently had something similar happen with FrescoBot's work in Draft space, it was very active until October 2021, went inactive for a few months and then came back to its regular level of activity in April 2022 so maybe this is part of a regular cycle of activity and inactivity that I hadn't noticed before.

An administrator had already declined deletion on the same page and moved it to Draft:Razvitak; since then the references were added (and subsequently it was expanded slightly). The deletion tag was added by the same editor whose tag was removed on the version now in draft - the content was almost identical, so this is a repeat addition of a tag already declined. It seems to have been about a defunct business, and not advertising anything; the first revision, still in the draft page, was a translation (probably using Google Translate) of a Croatian Wikipedia article, which was created by another editor who is autopatrolled and has more than 70,000 edits there. I don't know if the sources are enough for our notability guidelines, but it should probably be merged with the draft or sent to AFD. 82.132.186.65 ( talk) 20:27, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, I found you randomly in the bureaucrat list, I am not forum shopping. I was wondering if you could comment on the discussion I started on the Administrators Noticeboard titled "Challenging closure of Political legacies thread", which is related to the proper use of the template to close discussions, and which may be about to be archived? So far I think no administrators have shown interest and haven't commented. The editors who have contributed to the thread clearly show they agree, but I think theirs are more personal opinions because they don't show me Wikipedia guidance that back up most of their assertions or contradict mine. As a result I am confused and it would be great if someone can give me proper guidance about the issue of closing talk page discussions using the relevant template. A few editors say it's a small issue but I disagree because in talk pages is where consensus is reached to edit pages. Here is the version I last wrote on the thread [3].

This is my planned replacement of the current list at List of galaxies#Galaxies by size, and an attempt at resolving the issues of the previous list (which was deleted in 2018).
Currently I'm trying to find any opinions, thoughts, or suggestions from anyone about this, as I need some second opinions. If you are interested, or have any thoughts about it feel free to reply to this comment or even join the main discussion at WT:AST Thank you and best of luck.

Not going to contest this, but any objection to a semi so we don't play sock whack a mole and it can die a G13 death? I can't see a single non sock edit. Obviously the IPs aren't officially socks, but they're quacking especially with the page move shenanigans. Star Mississippi 20:42, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Primefac. I seeing a "hidden maintenance message" notice for one of the {{ cite news}} templates being used in Sōta Fujii, and I have been unable to successfully figure out how to make that message visible. I tried following the instructions at Help:CS1 errors#Controlling error message display, but must be doing something wrong. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong here? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

span
as indicated in the instructions. It is important because the styles you are overriding are directly in the HTML, which means they are last to load. So there are two ways to override them: 1) Drop !important
on things (not good practice) or 2) increase specificity, which is what the span
does.

Hello @ Primefac I hope you're doing well. I tagged the article as Wikipedia:CSD#G12 doesn't it satisfy that?. Are you also confused like me that you didn't post the copyvio warning on the creator talkpage or the editor talkpage who added the copyvio plot. Thanks C1K98V ( 💬 ✒️ 📂) 07:55, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
This applies to ...copyrighted material ... where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving(emphasis added); with a cast list, a reasonable number of references, an infobox, and a non-infringing lead sentence, there was enough to merit not deleting under G12. That being said, if there were no references or infobox I probably would have deleted as G12, since a one-sentence opener about a film is easily re-written and not worth saving.

Hi Primefac, I saw the AFD -> VFD proposal at VPP. Just wanted to tell you that something in their behaviour is strongly telling me that they are a sockpuppet of
CafeGurrier66 or
Qhnbgjt. I've been busy recently, so can't dig deep into this, but the headstart Ilovemydoodle has had from their first edits indicate that they're certainly not new here and the obvious trolling (
User:Ilovemydoodle/indef).
wikt:doodle meaning 3. Also, not many new editors feel the need to claim in their userpage I am not a sockpuppet or a troll.
for no good reason. Thanks! —

I noticed that Twin Valley School District was redirected. I think I can find some sources so I can build a new article from the ground up. Is it OK if I try to do so? WhisperToMe ( talk) 23:04, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
I created the Kishore Mahato page a few days back, like a few weeks back, then someone moved it to draft and I was working on it. Later on, Kishore debuted in an ODI and I added the reference about it and requested Lugnuts to review and accept the draft because he has more knowledge about cricketers, which can be seen here [4]. Instead of moving an article from draft space, which I was creating and working on for almost one month, he created a redirect the next day, and after a few days, he created a page himself. I'm kind of speechless now and thinking about whether he has done the right thing or wrong thing. Being an active AFC reviewer, I could have accepted the draft myself and moved it to mainspace as I knew the draft was ready to move to mainspace but it was wrong to accept my own draft and asked for help. I'm speechless after seeing such activities from a veteran user and feel bad as I was working on this article and had invested time in it. All I want to know is can someone histmerge it or not?

It appears you recently renamed the "infobox hockey team" template to "infobox ice hockey team". I modified the template documentation to reflect the new name, but when I was updating an article that uses the template I got the message "Preview warning: Page using Template:Infobox hockey team with unknown parameter "website"". I am wondering if you can fix the template so that the message is not generated. Whether you can fix it or not, the message itself uses the old name of the template "Infobox hockey team". Whatever is generating the message should also be updated to use the new template name, "Infobox ice hockey teams". Thank you. OvertAnalyzer ( talk) 23:51, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Primefac, you reverted my {{ db-g6}} request because you mentioned that it was a valid partial dab, but "Barbie (franchise)" and "Barbie" aren't the same. I'm certain that someone looking for "Barbie the franchise or universe" and not either "Barbie herself in real life or her/its history" is rather looking for the article on Barbie's friends and family. Since you've made a valid point, I've changed the redirect to that article. Also, the original page move from "Barbie (film series)" to "Barbie (franchise)" is considered by 2 Wikipedians as vague, but since it could be a valid DAB, I've dabbed the article with the {{ disambig}} tags I could get. Reply to me if there are any errors/corrections with my points and actions. Thanks!! Intrisit ( talk) 09:09, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Primefac, I hope you are well. I was wondering if you could help me with something which requires administrator tools. Basically, I have had three previous username, two of which had user pages created when I was known as those usernames. However, when I was renamed, the user pages were not automatically moved. The reason for this was because I had them deleted per my request although recently I had them restored. I did ask the admin if it was possible and they said no, although I have learnt about hist merge which is when the page history is moved from an incorrect location to the correct one. If it would be possible, please could you merge the histories of User:Blackazz and User:Blackazz968 to User:Blanchey please? It’s a fairly small issue although for me it would be nice to have all my old user page designs in one place. If this is possible, I assume that a redirect will automatically be placed in the old location and will the logs come together too? If this is not possible then no worries, I don’t want to be a burden to you at all, I just wanted to make sure every possibility was unturned. Many Thanks, Blanchey 💬 • 📝 09:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

At Bernard Cribbins, I'm worried I may have supplied the wrong diffs; how did we end up with 278 revisions deleted?

Special:Diff/1080468604/1086686306 broke the archive URL. Archive URLs should never be modified as they are immutable. Somewhere I have a regex that will avoid URLs when part of an archive URL, if you want I can look for it. -- Green C 19:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello Primefac, I am QiuLiming1's IP sockpuppet. The reason that I watch Q28's contributions is that he is recently suspected for using sockpuppet IPs to edits in zhwiki, and he said at an edit summary of a unblock request "if its still not allowed, then I could only work in enwiki". I admit I didn't assume good faith, but I want to clarify at that time I thought that Q28 removed a edit test at a draft and requested speedy deletion at the draft, if that's the case, is that action still reasonable? 2601:647:4C00:D260:8964:FEE4:85A3:522D ( talk) 22:31, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
It is my understanding that a page with “(disambiguation)” in the title is only required where an ambiguous article name has a primary topic. Where there is no primary topic, a page with “(disambiguation)” to which nothing links and is itself a redirect is entirely pointless. Can you explain why such a page should not just be deleted?— Jeffro77 ( talk) 21:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
I'm leaving the first text here after getting unblocked is just to request you to revoke my Rollback and PCR rights as I won't be contributing here same like before and if I need it in the future I will request it on PERM.

Hi. How are you with java? I knew a few editors who are good with java, but all of them are inactive. There is a userscript, but the creator hasnt edited in a few months User:Evad37/OneClickArchiver.js I am currently using the script on another wikipedia, and it is messing up with the archives if the talkpage is a subpage. eg, "user talk:KiranBOT/typos" is getting archived to "user talk:KiranBOT/Archive 1" (instead of "user talk:KiranBOT/typos/Archive 1"). On line 107, there is a regex for removing subpages. I am not good with regex, but is it possible to read the current page name, and the find "current page/Archive" and so on? How should we do that? Getting the archive name is in between line 88, and 117 —usernamekiran (talk) 17:34, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, can you help make the template not show gray numbers in places it shouldn't? - currently both winter and summer game years are shown. Winter games sohuld be shown only in winter sports articles and summer games in summer sports articles, example. Pelmeen10 ( talk) 10:12, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
|data4=
behaviour isn't set up properly - it either does nothing or checks for every variant. If the sports are split between seasons, then it's just a case of modifying that data4 #switch statement accordingly so that things like alpine skiing trigger the "winter" checks, while things like athletics trigger the "summer" checks.

Hello Primefac,
I just noticed that you granted NeverTry4Me AFC rights. As part of their unblock in February this user agreed to a ban on creating pages in article space and a requirement to go through AFC, see here. As far as I can tell that ban has never been appealed, which is why all their page creations still have to go through AFC. It doesn't seem appropriate for someone who is banned from creating articles and who is forced to use AFC for their creations to hold reviewer rights, arguably accepting drafts would be a violation of their ban.
More generally this user seems to have serious WP:HATCOLLECTING issues, and frequently requests rights that they don't need, can't use or don't even seem to understand, see for examples: [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. 192.76.8.85 ( talk) 23:09, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, can you please check my recent AfC reviews? I don't want any rights here, which I don't deserve. Additionally. I don't want to be mooted. Please keep your eyes in strict vigilance on my edits on AfC reviews. This statement, I have placed with good faith and as per Wiki rules. I shall go to help channels whenever I'm confused, but won't make a decision for myself. Thank you for your belief inform me. Regards- - Signed by NeverTry4Me Talk 09:16, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Good day @ Primefac,
After 10 years of being part of Wikipedia, I'm going to retire in December this year. Isn't surprise right? I can't take it anymore. I experienced the belittling of my other co editors on my ability as an editor/contributor. I've been insulted too much every time I edit the content I've created and what makes it worse is that they delete my content even though it's very important for the readers.
However, I am grateful and you have given me the opportunity to be a part of this website. I hope you give me one last chance to create or edit content before I retire for good. I hope you will remember me not only as an editor/contributor but as a good friend and most of all, a loving family member. Thank you very much! RenRen070193 ( talk) 08:57, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
Regarding Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment/Archive 121#Amendment request: Motion: Crouch, Swale (January 2022) I'm not sure that we need another RFC as at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject England/Parishes RfC users complained about them. Given we already have WP:GEOLAND and WP:NPLACE I don't think another RFC is needed or appropriate. As you can see at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes#Progress there are around 10,474 parishes in England and around 381 (3.6%) are missing. The only other countries with functioning 4th order divisions that have missing articles on the English Wikipedia that I can find (though I haven't checked many) are Wales and Portugal. Why should the 381 parishes be treated differently to the other 10093 or most other such places around the world? Why do I need to obtain consensus to treat them the same as most other places in the world?
What is the potential risk of removing the restrictions in full or part? As far as I can see the biggest concern is me creating large numbers of NN short articles but what evidence is there of that in 2022? Wouldn't something like 2 parish articles a week (on top of the 1 article a month on anything) and allow this to be reviewed every 2 weeks or something and allow a complete appeal in 6 months. Or perhaps just start with several parishes a day and allow appeal in 6 months. If the articles I create are unacceptable they can be moved to draftspace and/or the number of articles I can create reduced. Its perfectly reasonable for me to produce 5 or so good articles a day but not 100 so if it was only a few a day that should follow the consensus at the RFC that they shouldn't be mass created with little content.
Perhaps the restrictions could be removed completely with an indefinite suspended like the previous one I had on the geographical NC discussion ban.
Is is possible please to give me 1 chance to at least create more of the parish articles or even better just remove all my restrictions. What evidence is there that there is a significant risk of problems in 2022? Crouch, Swale ( talk) 20:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
