The BBC together with Wikimedia UK is holding a large 12-hour editathon. Many new articles and drafts are expected. See BBC 100 Women 2016: How to join our edit-a-thon.

Request for revocation of AWB access
Could I ask for revocation of my AWB access please? I do not use the tool, nor did I really get to grips with using it, I really don't want to have access to tools I shouldn't really use. Thanks Nordic   Nightfury  15:30, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Your name doesn't seem to be on the list. JohnCD (talk) 17:45, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It is under my old username: Nordic Dragon. Nordic   Nightfury  12:12, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Help needed - non-working WMFLabs link
Who do I contact with regards to non-working WMFLabs links? i.e. the WHOIS service such as here brings back that the "web service is not enabled". Nordic  Nightfury  13:42, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi there - funnily enough I recreated the service at https://tools.wmflabs.org/myrcx/whois, so for example https://tools.wmflabs.org/splinetools/whois/ip/82.132.226.206 can be replaced with https://tools.wmflabs.org/myrcx/whois/ip/82.132.226.206. Is there a specific template still pointing to the old broken copy? -- samtar talk or stalk 13:47, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * is at least one. Nordic   Nightfury  13:49, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Pardon my edits
I was confused at first when I saw a Mercedes-Benz logo on an Optare minibus, and didn't recognize that Optare conducted business with them. This topic has more layers than I have first thought. Thanks for not smashing me as a vandal and assuming good faith. Meltingwood meow 22:10, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Not a problem . You can also have a look at Mercedes-Benz Vario based vehicles as well if you wish, you can see many different coachbuilders all of which keep the original front of the vehicle. Happy editing! Snöggletög   Nightfury  Happy Christmas!! 22:55, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Nordic Nightfury. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of London buses route 407, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Mess has been sorted out by an admin, so I've redirected it to List of bus routes in London rather than leaving it for deletion.

Speedy deletion declined: London bus route 407
Hello Nordic Nightfury! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of London bus route 407, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''Can also be used as a redirect in case anyone searches for it. I don't particularly think this qualifies for a speedy. .'''. Thank you.  Class 455 ( Merry Christmas! ) 21:34, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if a CSD is really necessary for the above page, it can just be another redirect. Regards.  Class 455 ( Merry Christmas! ) 21:36, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
