"Confusing usernames" in Twinkle
It's me again.

Is there any chance you'll remove the "it's a confusing username" option from Twinkle? The username policy has consistently discouraged blocking "confusing usernames" for over six months now, in addition to the months before that where it was a questionable practice. The introduction of global logins only helped to solidify this, because which names are seen as confusing is highly dependent on the language of the Wikipedia.

The current, stable version of the policy, which has survived a great deal of talk page discussion and some Administrators' Noticeboard threads, says (a) that usernames should only be blocked for confusion in the very rare case that the user keeps editing while ignoring requests to change the name, and (b) even this case is controversial. It definitely doesn't belong on UAA, which is for requesting quick blocks in cut-and-dried cases.

But we still get users who assume that Twinkle matches the policy, and they report usernames for being confusing, which means:
 * We have to remove the report.
 * UAA watchers continue to have a low opinion of Twinkle users.

Could you please resolve this by removing the "confusing" option?  r speer  / ɹəəds ɹ  07:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I removed the "confusing" option last week. Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle friendly) 21:33, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Minor tweaks to Twinkle to match template syntax
Hi AzaToth,

I made a couple minor changes to twinklexfd.js because I tweaked the syntax of the IFD templates to avoid the use of the misleading Image: prefix in deletion section headers. I wanted to let you know because Twinkle really is yours and I'm not trying to step on your toes here. I left at note at Wikipedia talk:Images and media for deletion for further discussion. —Remember the dot (talk) 00:11, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle script help

Twinkle
Hi. I use your great tool Twinkle. Anyway there seems to be a bug, when I tag an article for deletion when it has already been tagged for CSD, instead of not doing it, it continues. Can you help me? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle using strange accesskey
I have

/* Display [] by the item with the accesskey */ a[accesskey]:after, button[accesskey]:after, input[accesskey]:after, label[accesskey]:after, legend[accesskey]:after, textarea[accesskey]:after { margin-left: 0.3em; color: Plum; content: "[" attr(accesskey) "]"; }

in my monobook.css, which puts items accesskeys next to them. After installing Twinkle, the arv tab became

arv [report user to administrators]

That is, "report user to administrators" is picked up as the access key. Does that make sense? Or is there something misplaced in Twinkle's code? &mdash;TedPavlic | (talk) 04:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Arctic methane release
Hi. I noticed you tagged the article with articleissues and toofewopinions. I have removed some of it because the subject is too recent a development to have a lot of opinions. I will try to add more citations to the article and improve its length. However the article is still a stub. Please point out the problematic parts of the article such as the inferred peacock terms and original research in order to assist in improving it. Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 00:22, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I felt the text concentrated mostly on a few linked words. → Aza Toth 00:55, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Undelete
Hi, I'm working on merging a bunch of stub article about gear nomenclature into list of gear nomenclature. One of the articles Heel (engineering) was deleted a while back by you. I was hoping you could undelete it so that I could merge it into the list of gear nomenclature article. Thanks! Wizard191 (talk) 22:19, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
