You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics – Women's 800 metre freestyle. Bike seat sniffer (talk) 21:56, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Gift of an "Elon Musk" revert?
Hi there. Would you mind reverting the latest disruptive edit on Elon Musk? Unfortunately, I have already committed three reverts or undo's this Christmas Eve and I wouldn't want to risk being (incidentally) added to the Naughty list. Best! QRep2020 (talk) 23:12, 24 December 2021 (UTC)]
 * I did try to revert to the last WP:STABLE version, but this user ended up reverting me as well. I voluntarily stick to a 1 revert rule (aside from obvious vandalism), so I'm unable to handle the issue further, unfortunately. I recommend reporting the user to WP:AN3. You're more familiar with the issues with this article than I am. OhKayeSierra (talk) 23:43, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Octicons-tools.svg Gadgets can now specify page actions on which they are available. For example, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> will load a gadget only while editing and on history pages.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Gadgets can now be loaded on demand with the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> URL parameter. This can be used to replace an earlier snippet that typically looks like <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> or <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr">.
