SMERSH
Hi, when moving a page, you must always chech for double redirects and fix them. When you complete a move, you will always see the message "click here....". Please always click "there".

I could have done it for SMERSH myself, but I am leaving it "as is" now, so that you could see what I am talking about, if you click at "What links here" in the SMERSH page. Mikkalai 20:28, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi! Did you mean, that I should have changed all occurences of Smersh (only first letter is capitalized) to SMERSH (all letters are capital) in all these articles? Or did you mean something else?  If former, I will gladly do it; if former, please elaborate some more.  Thanks.
 * That's what I suspected. The page Smert' Shpionam is a redirect to Smersh, which is nothing but a redirect to SMERSH. This is called "double redirect". Wikipedia cannot handle them properly. Therefore you must edit Smert' Shpionam so that it would point directly to SMERSH. But be careful: if you click at Smert' Shpionam, wikipedia will actually open Smersh with a comment: (Redirected from Smert' Shpionam). If you click at "Smer't" in the Smersh opened in this way, you will arrive at the page you want to edit.


 * Double, triple, etc. redirects are recognized by the indent level of bullets in the "What links here" list. Mikkalai 00:54, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * I didn't know about WP not being able to handle multiple redirects correctly. Thank you for this information.  Where can I find the source of it?
 * I corrected multiple redirects, I hope I did it right this time.

 * P.S. How do you edit in Russian on en:WP? It's not easy...

 * When editing, I "show preview" and replace the #56775... stuff in the edit area with the cyrillic text copied from the preview. Mikkalai 00:54, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * What a pain... That's what I called "not easy".
 * Any chances en:WP will use the Unicode?

Thanks


I would like to express my thanks to all the good people who spent their valuable time time and effort working on my (failed) RfA voting. Especially for those who actually voted to support me :). Lets move on and make together our Wikipedia an even greater place abakharev 09:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called DIG. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DIG~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:17, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
