what did sporkbot do...?
sporkbot changed something on my user page that i am confused what the point of was. I just copy pasted it from a user's talk page that was temporarily blocked that someone put on there, so if they did something wrong i'm sorry. link to edit is here []

thanks, Firestar9990 (talk) 03:11, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Firestar9990, the bot replaced Template:border-radius (which was deleted) with the equivalent inline CSS string. There is nothing to be concerned about.  The border-radius template had been used on several thousand pages, but it was decided that it was no longer needed since typing "border-radius: 40px;" is easier than typing "  ".  Thanks!

Problem with SporkBot Bot Task 8
For the cleanup of Template:Infobox mountain, I was spot-checking the results of the bot, and found an unusual case at White Mountains (New Hampshire).

The previous version of the article had New England and region1. The bot added Regions. I think the bot should not have added Regions because  was empty. Does the code check for the parameter name and not whether the value is non-blank? That might be what is going on.

Thanks for your help! — hike395 (talk) 05:57, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * hike395, thanks for spotting the problem! I created Category:Pages using infobox mountain with potentially incorrectly plural labels to find/fix any other bad edits (it will take some time to fill up the tracking category).  You are correct, that it was incorrectly matching empty parameters when doing the logic for the labels, but it looks like it is doing the right thing for the enumeration part.  I will fix the code before running it on any more articles.  Thanks again! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  17:27, 16 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding the code for the tracking category! Would you like me to fix the infoboxes in that category? I don't know whether you need those examples to fix your code. — hike395 (talk) 17:58, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * hike395, you can go ahead and fix them if you want (I saved a list of one from each subcategory). Many are "false positives" where the label is plural but there is no data content.  I can tweak the tracking to filter those out, but in some cases you may want to remove the label.  The bot is currently slowly silently purging all transclusions of the infobox, so the tracking category should be filled in about 12 hours.  Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  18:28, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

To let you know, there was a data loss on Karakoram (which I've now fixed). It looks like your code assumes that parameters would be invoked in order, but on the, region (etc.) were non-contiguous. — hike395 (talk) 21:17, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Another example of data loss due to out-of-order parameters: — hike395 (talk) 21:58, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * hike395, that's bad! Thank you for finding it!  There was a problem in how I was marking where to place the merged parameters which caused it to remove the merge point before the list was placed.  So, it had no where to place the merged list and didn't report an error.  I have fixed the code.  I plan to review all the bots edits [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/SporkBot&dir=prev&offset=20210116185728&limit=6&target=SporkBot][//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/SporkBot&offset=20210116012806&limit=854&target=SporkBot][//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/SporkBot&dir=prev&offset=20201215183234&limit=10&target=SporkBot] and compiling a list of all bad edits for further code testing before running the bot again.

State of Task 8?
Hi, Plastikspork. I notice that the bot just finished cleaning out Category:Pages using infobox mountain with multiple parameters. I've lost track --- what's the current state of the task? Recall that I found some data loss issues: did you ever check those? — hike395 (talk) 20:07, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The 7 pages from today were all done in supervised mode with no data loss. As far as I can tell, before I fixed bugs in the code, data loss occurred when there were multiple parameters and those parameters were not in order. I am keeping a list of all the known problem cases so I can retest the bot on those pages to confirm that any bugs have been fixed.  I still have to review about 650 edits from last month.  Once I have checked all of those, I plan to restart the task.  I will let you know before I restart the bot in any kind of unsupervised mode.  Thanks!

Hello, I wanted to ask about your "script assisted wikification" that changed settlement infobox population density field value for municipalities and towns of Latvia from  settlement where I had put density to be calculated from land area not total area.

Question
Hi, what did your edit to Bugchasing do? Just so I understand for my future editing. It looks the same as before. Urve (talk) 16:18, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It's really dumb, but related to [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SDZeroBot/GAN_sorting&diff=prev&oldid=1021828780 this edit]. The bot takes the first line of the wikitext of the article and uses it for the summary.  If there is a template that is split over more than one line, it only takes to opening part, which is then matched with the next closing braces (assuming there are no more opening braces between).  In this case there was a combination of an unclosed pair of braces from the bugchasing article and a pair of unopened braces in the Permanent income hypothesis article.  These were then being "matched" by the software, causing everything that was in between to be swallowed in the bot report.  I probably could have just fixed the Permanent income hypothesis article, but by changing both the rendering looks much nicer.  Note that as far as bugchasing goes, this was just a problem with User:SDZeroBot/GAN sorting and not a problem with the article.  I hope that makes sense. Thanks!

 * User:Ohconfucius, the best option is probably to go ahead and insert it at the top of the page, and then swap the order with any "short description" template. So, between lines 791 and 792 (or somewhere else after 791?) you could add something like   which should cover the case where "short description" is already at the very top of the page.  If you want to cover cases where short description isn't at the very top of the page, we could probably figure something out, but it would require more testing.  Thanks!

Thank you
Hello, Plastikspork,

Thank you for helping sort out this Finland municipality template mix-up. I don't work much with template deletion because of the complications that exist with transclusions but I assume that if they are tagged for CSD speedy deletion, those complications have all been sorted out and the deletion is just a formality. At least, that assumption has worked out for me in the past.

But apparently, these templates were tagged prematurely and on my talk page I was asked to restore them. I see that you have looked over some that were restored and re-deleted them so I'm grateful that you are more familiar with templates than I and could assess whether they were serving a purpose or could be deleted. I have restored the remainder which you'll be able to see in the Deletion log and I hope that you and Jonesey95 can determine whether they should be redirected or deleted. Thanks for helping me with this mess. This is why I don't wander into TFD! Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 22:27, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Elizabeth Woodvilles page, under literature
Hi just a quick question, do you know why she’s listed as being “melodramatic and self-pitying” in the description of Richard iii? Without context for the scene it does seem like it, but Richard has basically killed everyone she loves, and is manipulating and blackmailing her into letting him marry her daughter, who she knows he’ll probably end up killing as well. She lost her very young sons, her father, her husband, and closest companions. I think she’s allowed to be a LITTLE dramatic.

Deletion of Template:Translink (BC) color
The deletion of this template leaves me unable to find any reference to the correct TransLink (BC) line colors either on Wikipedia or externally. I am particularly confused by the deletion log (1.16), which appears to suggest that the content of five templates specific to TransLink (BC) are replaced by this more general template. However, the new template has no reference to the information previously accessible here, in particular hex colors for the TransLink-run transit lines in the Vancouver, BC area. Similar problems may exist for the other four templates affected by the deletion, however I am only familiar with the content in the specific template I've addressed here.

Forgive me if I'm missing something as I'm very new to how Wikipedia maintenance works, but if this information is still on Wikipedia, either in article or template form, could you provide a link to its location?

Whatever your reasons for doing this I cannot believe that as an administrator you can find it appropriate to reverse out well intentioned good faith edits to improve the validity of an article and replace them with the obvious previous errors and omissions. If a non-administrator contributor did this it would rightly be considered malicious vandalism. Surely the unsuspecting enquirer deserves better than to be presented with known falsehoods. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.65.183 (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

TfD subpages
Hey, this is genuinely out of curiosity, but I notice you and have been deleting TFD subpages (mainly mine, which is why I noticed) and moving their content back into the primary log page; what's the thinking/reasoning behind it? I have no particular issue with doing so, just... inquiring minds etc. Primefac (talk) 08:27, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Primefac, thanks for asking! As you know, the main reason for creating subpages is to reduce the WP:PEIS while the page is being transcluded on the main WP:TFD page.  Once it's time to close the discussions, the automated closing tools work best if the list of templates is in the section being closed.  So, the idea is to move them back before closing to allow the automated tools work better.  Once they are all moved back, there is no reason to keep the subpage.  Also, each of the tfd links transclusions generates an anchor, which is helpful when referencing a particular template on the discussion page.  Let me know if you see any problem with this approach.  Thanks! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  14:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering the same thing myself. I assumed that the closers knew what they were doing, but this is a good summary of why. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:37, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Deletion Review Template:Federal subjects of Russia image map


It was flagged as "Unused maps and not needed anywhere" by WikiCleanerMan but indeed it was an useful clickable interactive map, and I wanted to restore it in its original place on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_subjects_of_Russia, thank you. GFD (talk) 04:14, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * GFD, I think I see what happened. On January 1, 2019, labeled image map using File:Federal subjects of Russia (by number).png as a background was replaced by  which used the now deleted Template:Subdivision OSM map. So, one question would be which version do you want restored? If you want the first version, then that would require undeleting the versions before the change on January 1, 2019. If you want the second version, that would require undeleting Template:Subdivision OSM map. Thanks!

Deletion review for Template:Hong Kong
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Template:Hong Kong. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

(Note: the template was deleted on the ground that it was inappropriate for country navbox template to be named as such due to possibility to confuse with country flag template, however Hong Kong is not just an entity with its own government, but is also a city, and it is extraordinarily common for city navbox templates to be simply named as Template:City Name, which the original deletion discussion did not consider this duality, hence I am requesting for review of this deletion decision.)

Template:Age verfication required
This was created with a specfic function in mind. To warn about sites that required age checks to view certain types of content.

Since it was created, some sites now do apply age checks to specifc content, as a result either of EU directives or proposed law changes in the UK, in order protect vulnerable younger users from seeing material that's not intended for them.

YouTube for example, age checks on some videos even if the videos themselves are not what would be conventionally considered explicit. (One example I encountered as a video demonstrating why UK mains voltage was dangerous under controlled lab condtions!)

Therefore I am asking if you could perhaps consider reinstating this template and the documentation under a typo corrected name.

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:28, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * ShakespeareFan00, I have restored the template with the typo corrected. There was no documentation page.  Make sure you put the template to use fairly quickly or it will probably be deleted again.  Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  14:00, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * ShakespeareFan00, Template:Age verification required is still unused? If it isn't going to be used, it should probably be deleted.  Thanks! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  14:45, 22 February 2022 (UTC)


 * It's still unused, as the UK legislation that would have required sites in the UK to age check, is still in the process of being debated. I have no objections to a 'soft delete' until it's actually going to see use (provided a suitable comment is left in the logs). However I reserve the right to request another review if and when sites do start checking ages,  and when sources cited on Wikipedia become subject to viewer age checks.

Doc subpage TfD
Hi and thank you for closing Templates for discussion/Log/2022 February 18. I'm a bit surprised by the result though. Would you mind elaborating your rationale? I gave what I believe to be cogent reasons why the proposal won't bring benefits, and I listed several of the practical costs. I don't believe these were substantially addressed by the other participants, and the overall impression I get out of it all is that the loud statement of personal preference has trumped a pragmatic examination of the actual costs and benefits. – Uanfala (talk) 01:24, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure, I read the arguments for and against deleting the /doc page and found the reasons for keeping the doc page (e.g., the ability to separate page protections) to be as strong as the reasons for deleting the doc page (e.g., simplicity). Having an untranscluded /doc page was viewed as the worst solution, since it would be confusing with no benefit.  If you would like more people to look at the situation, or have the practice of having separate /doc pages for unprotected templates examined, I don't think that TfD is the best forum for making larger scoped decisions.  These days, most of the discussions at TfD start with people combing through the list of untranscluded templates and nominating them for deletion (or putting them to use).  If you would like to send this to DRV, I won't be offended.  Thanks! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  14:09, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

 * , actually WP:REDNOT refers to articles, it is an overextrapolation to claim that it applies everywhere; this is a working draft on a personal page. As for editors looking for something to improve, there is plenty to be done in the main namespace without anyone needing to get involved in editing draft articles, user talk pages, etc. As I have worked through WP's catalogue of malformed Cite patent transclusions (including using your page - thank you for setting this up) it never occurred to me to go into other user's pages to edit them.

Editing the fields that define the "Personal details" in the infobox officeholder Template
I noticed that many years ago you were able to edit the spouse field to become spouse(s). Please could you explain how this was done. I am trying to translate corresponding fields in a Northern Sotho wikipedia but I am unable to find the definitions of the fields that appear in the Personal details section of the infobox. These would include "Born", "Political Party", "Spouse(s)", "Children", "Parents", "Alma mater" and "Website". Thanking you for your help, Phillip (talk) 15:51, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Phillip, some templates do allow for you to use either spouse or spouses and the infobox then adjusts the label. For example, see Template:Infobox character.  In most templates, like Infobox person and Infobox officeholder the label is always Spouse(s).  I don't know if this answers your question.  You can always look at the code for Infobox officeholder by opening it up in edit mode.  The personal details are near the bottom of the template. Thanks!

Premature deletion closure
You recently closed a discussion at Templates for discussion/Log/2022 July 26 and deleted all of the chess variants. Your closure said "These have been merged with Module:Chessboard", but in fact only one of the seven - Hia Shatar - had been successfully merged into that module, and there had been no further progression in the discussion from the relisting on any of the other template/modules. It would be good of you to undelete the six that haven't progressed so that the process that resolved Hia Shatar can continue on the rest of them.

Axe grinding
Hiya I'm in a weird slow edit war with Levithe gd at Squatting in Zimbabwe, where they are deleting referenced info and not engaging on the talkpage. Checking their edits they seem to have an axe or perhaps multiple axes to grind, and over at Sena language they have replaced the article with a strange genetic history. I see you protected the page back in August, but they've done it again since. What's a good move forwards? Could you perhaps article ban Levithe gd from editing those two pages, if you think that's a good idea? It's not particularly urgent, it's just a bit frustrating to deal with an editor who doesn't want to collaborate. Cheers! Mujinga (talk) 10:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Mujinga for disputes between only two editors, you can request a WP:3O. For edit warring, you can post at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, but if you are engaged in the same reverting pattern, you could be blocked as well. Article bans are typically discussed at WP:ANI, which can also have a boomerang outcome, where you get article banned as well.  So, I would suggest starting with WP:3O and see if that helps.  After that, I would try posting on the talk pages of the various Wikiprojects associated with the articles. Thanks! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  21:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

 * All of my advice still stands, no matter how funny you think it is. Getting a topic ban from ANI is a process, and the first step is showing that you are trying other avenues.  Trying to quickly without seeking opinions through 3O and Wikiproject pages usually results in a boomerang.  But, I am sure you already know this, which is why you have already posted at WP:WikiProject Languages and WP:WikiProject Africa and contacted User:Harsimaja directly.

Another bug: shared text on the 3 Lord of the Rings articles
Plastikspork, since this edit on FotR, and the matching edits on TT and RotK, the 3 articles that make up The Lord of the Rings, we've had constant trouble with whitespace. Specifically, an extra blank line appears at the end of the "template section", i.e. the bit that is shared with the main The Lord of the Rings article. It seems that whenever someone makes any edit to the text that is shared, a blank line magically appears, and it's rather hard to delete again, one has to edit the whole article to remove it; and as soon as someone makes another edit, the white space reappears. Can you find a way to do the sharing without this "feature"? The way I had arranged it with a template worked correctly, by the way, but apparently that offended The Powers That Be (tremble, shudder, cower, grovel). Help appreciated.

Removing redlinks after deletions
Hi, I noticed that you closed this RfD, but did not remove incoming links from other templates. This is best practice for most deletions. I have removed the links in this case.

Forgive me if you normally do this part of the task but overlooked it on this occasion. Otherwise, I hope this is a useful pointer. Best wishes – Fayenatic  L ondon 17:10, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I do normally do this, but unfortunately tfd links only provides links to transclusions, so it requires several extra clicks to check. The automated TfD closer also doesn't warn you if there are a lot of links.  But, it would be difficult to automate the process due to links in various "del sort" templates.  Thanks!

Re Template:Taxonomy/Acanthothecis
Hi Plastikspork,

The template details of the lichen/fungi are out-of-date ! I was attempting to change them to the new stuff. Maybe heavy-handed ! Still have not got my template editing skills refined. I add with this note the ref that I and a lot of other editors are using.

Re: reverting articles due to name change
Hi Plastikspork, I'm curious to learn more about why articles are reverted due to name changes. Does Wikipedia have a police on "name" vs "full name"? In the case of "John Doe Smith" should that be the name or full name? Thank you! PseudoNova (talk) 18:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * PseudoNova, I believe you are asking about Mahassen Fattouh? That was my fault.  I didn't see the full name in the first sentence.  Sorry about that.  As far as I know, there is no official policy on which name should be at the top  of the infobox, but typically it's the name by which the subject is commonly known, which is typically the same as the article name. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  14:38, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

deleted pages (Template:PVL)
Hello, This is regarding the deleted templates of the PVL, there are now empty sections in which the deleted templates were connected. Please try to restore the contents/information of the templates it represented in all of the articles that are affected. Thank you. Rick (talk) 10:34, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you be more specific? I checked all the templates in the February 9 discussion and none of them are linked in any articles or other templates.  I checked the Template:PVL referenced in the section heading, and neither of the redlinks every existed in any articles.  As far as the contents of the templates are concerned, it looks like that was merged with the articles in edits like these:         ... by . If you notice the section tags, those are for WP:LST which allows those sections to be used in other articles like 2017 Premier Volleyball League season (search for the #lst: in the source).  Does this answer your question?  Thanks! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  15:12, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

How can one do that politely without stepping hard on other editors and being "reverted" by someone.

Edit - 14:04, 25 March 2023‎ Plastikspork (Rollback)
Hi Plastikspork, just contacting you about the changes to edits made on the 25th March.

1 - The credit Love & Marriage (contributor 2001) ref 7 was removed. The writer wasn't writing in 2001. If you check the reference given you'll see the writer wasn't a contributor to this.

2 - Messiah, I added a co-writer's name and dates 2019/ 2020. The play was produced then. This can be checked with the three references below which are all dated. https://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/messiah-review-at-stratford-circus-london--playful-and-potent

Edit to my user page
What exactly did you do on my user page. The edit comment says "Remove page from Special:WantedTemplates" could you just explain what that means because I honestly have no clue. Batgirl-Awsomeness (talk) 10:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Once a month the Special:WantedTemplates page is regenerated by the server. It lists all missing templates that are being transcluded.  Your page was transcluding Template:Country data ntl_team, Template:Country data ntl team2, and Template:Country data ntl team3.  By changing the   to   this fixed the transclusion on your page because curly braces aren't allowed in template names.  Demonstration templates like Template:Parameter names example uses curly braces for this reason.  I hope this answers your question and sorry for the short edit summary.  Thanks! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  14:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, well thanks for fixing it. I've been taking the already in-use sports player infobox templates, filling all the fields/parameters, and putting it side by side with a table that I'm making to mock up a potential updated version of the templates with the goal of then proposing them to a template editor who will take those tables and update the infobox template accordingly. The result will be a more streaamlined and better overall infobox for players. Because currently all the inboxes don't have all the necessary fields and don't fully capture the player. Just a little side project I'm working on. Thanks again for fixing the fields and I will now make the fields on the current templates on my page to have curly brackets.

Pharaoh Infobox
Dear Plastikspork I am writing you concerning Template:Infobox_pharaoh, which you have edited, to get your help on a long running issue with the infobox used in pharaoh articles.There was a community discussion in the Ancient Egypt project then a discussion at the village pump, see here. This was about editing the [Show] button in pharaoh infoboxes. After the discussion it was decided that the [Show] button could be replaced by [Click to show] button, or be written in bold or be put to the left to help readers see the button which is almost always missed and has led to people complaining that the info wasn't in the article or editing to put the info already there. Now in spite of the technical advises I was given, I don't see what to edit to change the template. Could you please help me by precisely telling me how to edit the code (and which code) to make the [Show] button appear as [Click to show] or be put in bold and/or left ?Iry-Hor (talk) 09:37, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Iry-Hor, I believe the show/hide words are controlled by the text in MediaWiki:Collapsible-collapse and MediaWiki:Collapsible-expand, which cannot be changed without changing everywhere (navigation boxes). So, it's very unlikely to have that happen.  However, it is possible to put it to the left.  If you look in the source for the infobox you will see that Hidden is being used to collapse the content.  If you add left to that template it will move the showhide to the left.  If you need help with other options, I would suggest contacting the people who commented at the Village Pump thread.  Thanks!

Could you restore 2022 visit by Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the United States and 2023 visit by Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the United Kingdom?

Appreciate your edit on the misplaced dash (an artefact of going through the article using find-and-replace; I'd obviously clicked 'replace' when the machine wasn't where I thought it was), but "that was pretty dumb" seems a little uncivil when correcting somebody else's mistake.

Template talk:WorldCat id
Hello, Plastikspork,

I restored this page you deleted, at least temporarily. The other day, I deleted a lot of redirected talk pages that pointed to this target page (see here). Since these templates are being actively used and Template talk:WorldCat id contained some discussions, I think this talk page should be CSD G8-exempt. Or, we should find a new target talk page that these deleted talk pages can be redirected to. Since these are widely used templates and editors might have questions about their use, it seems like we should have one common talk page where they could go to post any questions they have. What do you think about retaining this talk page? Or can you think of an alternative WorldCat talk page that these broken and deleted template talk pages could point to? Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 22:05, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Requesting a closure review or update,if possible.
Hello! There have been discussions regarding challenging the closing statement of the merger discussion: Templates for discussion/Log/2023 January 22

The outcome of the discussion was to merge to Infobox aircraft. However, the conclusion regarding the merger of Infobox aircraft engine was met with opposition from several editors on the talk page. This led to another discussion about whether to maintain Infobox aircraft engine as a standalone or not.

So in this matter: Is it possible to update the closing statement of the merger discussion or close the ongoing discussion? If not, could you please provide a formal comment on the current discussion and bring it to a conclusion? Thank you very much. Prarambh20 (talk) 16:06, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I thought the closing summary was pretty clear, so I don't see any reason to update it. I fully expected that the discussion would continue elsewhere.  It looks like the editors opposing are basically the same editors who opposed in the TfD.  I think your best coarse of action is to continue the discussion and get as much input as possible.  You could possibly start an RfC if you don't think you are getting enough input.  If the ultimate consensus is to maintain a second "aircraft engine infobox", then that's what happens.  My closing statement was based on my reading of the discussion at TfD.  If more input is needed, then there are ways to solicit more feedback.  Thanks!

User:SporkBot is malfunctioning
This edit of yours is completely unacceptable. You can't substitute user boxes with ones of your choice. I don't identify with the box you put on my page, so stay away from other users' boxes. You may be allowed to fix template names after page moves, but that's not what happened here. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 18:16, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

About your edit on Template:Taxonomy/Ichthyophaga
In ICZN Case 3603, both Icthyophaga (bird) and Ichthyophaga (worm) were conserved, which means they are both valid name, so Ichthyophaga should no longer be used in bird names. IOU resurrected the genus Icthyophaga in IOC bird checklist 13.2 with its right name. If you believe this template should still be used for birds, it should be redirected to Template:Taxonomy/Icthyophaga instead of a separate page. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race(talk・contribs) 01:44, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Alison Spittle additions removed
Hi plastikspork,

I can see you have just removed something I added to Alison Spittle's page because the citation was broken.

This is the first time I have ever edited anything on Wikipedia. I saw that my attempt to copy another citation on the pahasn'dn't worked, so I went away and tried to learn how to do a proper citation. By the time I came back you deleted it already.

Please can you be patient with me while I'm learning?

I am going to put it back up and try to put the citation in according to the tutorial I'm using. This might take me a little while but I will definitely make sure I give it a proper citation by the end of today.

Out of interest, how did my post come to your attention? Are you a fan of Alison's too?

Thanks, Susie SusieNineToes (talk) 16:29, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * SusieNineToes, You can use "show preview" to make sure you aren't saving something that is broken. Your edit produced a broken citation, which is how I found your edit. Thanks! Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk)  16:39, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
