Your Userpage
Hi Σ how did you get your userpage to display information but when i click "View Source" it only shows -  JJBullet  ( Talk ) 09:32, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Not only that, try copying and pasting the template's name from the source; you'll get "tidEtnoDesaelP". I suspect there is a right-to-left mark in the page (an invisible character that changes the direction of text rendering). eπi  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 20:27, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * But I'm sorry I gave away your secret, . I just got so excited when I saw the right-to-left marks used in an interesting way! eπi  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 20:37, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to say that this is one of the most interesting userpages on Wikipedia and tracking down the true code is a scavenger hunt. StudiesWorld (talk) 01:43, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! → Σ σ  ς. (Sigma) 03:06, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

User:MiszaBot/config
Greetings,

has it ever been considered to move User:MiszaBot/config to a different title (e.g Template:Automated archive)? I have been wondering for a long time why we are using the title of a deactivated bot and it's a little confusing. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:14, 26 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, but if you think about it, it's not a very good use of edits to change everybody's talk page for a non-cosmetic change. It's also a nice piece of history to keep around → Σ σ  ς . (Sigma) 03:05, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Editor interaction tool

 * The tool is also not working for me. Queried Mark; he said it worked for him earlier today. It's not working for me right now. No idea why. - CorbieV  ☊ ☼ 22:21, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * And then suddenly it started working. It may have had something to do with looking up an account that had under 150 live edits in mainspace. Once it crossed that threshold, or something like that, it suddenly worked fine. Weird. Or maybe it was totally random glitching. *shrugs* - CorbieV  ☊ ☼ 01:18, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Should be back up now → Σ σ  ς. (Sigma) 03:05, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Edit summary search not working
I entered this query and it threw a HTTP 500, with this traceback:  Is this a short-term or long-term problem? -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:13, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * - If I had to guess, I'd bet it has something to do with the recent schema changes (T223406) SQL <sup style="font-size: 5pt;color:#999">Query me! 22:18, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * A shorter-term stopgap solution is to switch to _compat tables - e.g. use revision_compat, etc. (per wikitech). Sounds like it may incur a bit of a performance hit, but should at least get everything back up and running. SQL <sup style="font-size: 5pt;color:#999">Query me!  22:20, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
