I finally gave in and archived this mess.

Fonts (Basmala)

those all display identically on my android, so, the solution does nothing, but there was also no problem to solve. if you want a solution that applies to people who do not have the problem, then that's a fairly eccentric approach...

if you actually do have a better idea i am keen to hear it. i often use arial because pages use have obscure characters, and some fonts will have these but not connect them properly, so they look completely different. i add the appropriate lang tag lang|ar or lang|ur etc. as well and as far as i know, this means that if the user is one of the 1% of internet users who do not have Arial installed or will default back to the fonts associated with that lang tag. so, if you have a better solution please do share. i could add additional fonts, but most of what i would add is already attached to those Lang tags, so that's a bit pointless.

"Also probably many mobile systems, to start with... AnonMoos (talk) 20:30, 7 March 2020 (UTC)" well the solution does nothing, see above, but they also don't have the problem. Irtapil (talk) 02:35, 8 March 2020 (UTC) }}

Talk page archival
I would be happy to set up page archiving for you if you would like. Let me know. Mathglot (talk) 04:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mathglot Maybe, let me think about it. Why the offer now? Irtapil (talk) 08:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Because it's getting really long. If you want to set it up yourself, a good place to start is Help:Archiving (plain and simple). Good luck, Mathglot (talk) 08:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Nicely done. I fixed up a couple of minor problems, mainly your first archive is #1 (Archive 1) now, instead of #6. Keep an eye out so that it picks up #2 as the next one, and lmk if there are any problems. Mathglot (talk) 06:25, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

There is, however, a problem with your page that will block archiving, which is the section marked Fonts (Basmala) = near the top of the page. This has unbalanced equal signs, and because of that, is slurping all the other sections as subsections under it. To fix this, change

to:

(i.e., add an equal sign at the front). That should fix the problems on this page, and reenable archiving again. Mathglot (talk) 06:36, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mathglot thanks, I think I must have done that when trying to fix some of the others that I worried would mess it up. I had it grouped by year in single = headings, I knew it would keep what was with them, but annoyingly it also kept the stuff beside them. Irtapil (talk) 19:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I actually wanted to keep that first one here. I misinterpreted what "start at" means. But it looks like you already fixed that for me? Thanks. Irtapil (talk) 19:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I think I'll let it get achived, it's kinda messy. Irtapil (talk) 19:27, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You can group by year by placing year in H1 headings and discussion sections in H2 headings (the default for other users adding a new discussion):

= 2023 =

== Old discussion one ==

== Old discussion two ==

= 2024 =

== New discussion from this year ==


 * But do not use unbalanced equal signs on any heading, as that will likely screw up your page, and may stop the archival bot, or make it archive weirdly. Hope this helps. Mathglot (talk) 19:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Mathglot that won't mess up archive? That's exactly what I had, I suppose I should have left it alone. Irtapil (talk) 19:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hm, I will double check with the bot operator. If there's a problem with it, there's a workaround you could use involving template Fake header, but let's see what they say first. Mathglot (talk) 19:52, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Pinged you there, but for the record, this is here. Mathglot (talk) 20:08, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Empty H1 section
I can see that you have added an empty H1 section ( = = ) just above the section header for section 'Talk page archival' (diff). I'm not sure if you are going for a certain look on this page, or in the Table of Contents, or whether you are trying to affect how archiving is performed. Can you explain what your desired outcome is, because I can't tell from that edit. Mathglot (talk) 20:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mathglot thanks for spotting that. I just forgot to remove it. I used a pair of those to bookend the stuff I archived manually, so I could just "select all" and then cut instead of trying to highlight a relevant section or archive one post at a time. Not sure if that makes sense, but doesn't matter if it doesn't, I already did it and it worked, I just forgot to clean up afterwards. Irtapil (talk) 11:10, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Do any archive bots work on Simple Wiki? Irtapil (talk) 14:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If they do, it isn't mentioned at simple:Help:Archiving a talk page, which only covers manual archiving. Even simple:User:Evad37/OneClickArchiver is a soft redirect (so won't work to invoke archiving at simple). Mathglot (talk) 18:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
