Hey, Are you still using the copy of HotCat in your userspace? If not, can you please delete it? It contains old code, so won't actually work (correctly) anyway.

Hi, Suffusion of Yellow. I've blocked the harassing IP for a week. If you should see more of the same from IPs with the first four digit groups the same, I recommend you to ask for a rangeblock on WP:ANI. (Or ask me, if it happens within the next couple of hours; after that, I'm going on vacation.) Bishonen | talk 19:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC).

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar |
For your help in stopping the disruption at Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia and elsewhere. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:10, 18 July 2018 (UTC) |
Hi Suffusion of Yellow,
I received a message to my talk page from Shellwood accusing me of vandalism, without any explanation or further comment. I went to Shellwood's user page to see what might be going on, and noticed that he/she invites responses from those whose edits he/she has reverted. I offered such a comment, including an 'assume good faith' template. This was reverted with a comment to 'kindly stay off this page,' which seemed to be in stark contrast to his/her affirmation on their user page that they oppose censorship on Wikipedia. With the rapidity of reversion issued by Shellwood, I can only wonder if the account may in fact be operated by a bot, but I have no way of knowing either way. In any case, I am rather uncertain of how to respond, having already been threatened with blocking by Shellwood, who I can only assume has the privileges to do so. Your advice would be gratefully received.

Well, first read the lead of the article as it was at time of AfD'ing it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_breakfast_drinks&oldid=849507279
Next, read the
Afd. - and you'll know why olive oil is on the list ;-)
Anyway, I've given up on trying to understand that muppet show: Apparently it's a very notable list, which can be fixed, and nobody is therefore spending any time fixing it. If that doesn't make sense to you either, then you too may be suffering from what I like to call "common sense". --

I noticed your edits at testwiki:Template:Edit filter warning and they certainly look like improvements; I wonder, if we should use (a modified version of) c:MediaWiki:ABFeasySubmit.js as commons does, which allows showing this form- I think that is significantly nicer for new users to use.

Hey. Currently, you send a message that Merge will be attempted on save

@ DannyS712: That ... would work, I think ... but off the top of my head that seems like it would require five edits for each use of the script:
And it would create at least two watchlist entries for everyone who was watching any of the categories on the page. Don't know if people would like that. Suffusion of Yellow ( talk) 00:42, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
@ DannyS712: Try installing both User:Suffusion of Yellow/diff3.js and User:Suffusion of Yellow/effp-helper-dev.js, if you dare. (There's no need to uninstall the old version). This version will attempt to do the merge before even modifying the edit form, so you can preview the final result of the merge. So long as you are careful about not clicking "Save" accidentally, you can try just any old entry in the abuse log, and see what happens. Certain pages will result in O(n^2) time and memory usage, so this isn't ready for prime time yet, but I'm curious as to how well it works at least on typical pages.
