question
why did you revert my edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.77.115.26 (talk) 01:58, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, They're sandbox pages, so I've reverted the edits. Sorry if I reverted them too soon. Also, please don't forget to type your signature ( ~ ) after a talk page post. Thanks.  Silikonz  ( 💬 │ 🖋 ) 05:10, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No its ok, I thought most people let the bots clear them, I just thought I might have done something wrong. 174.77.115.26 (talk) 02:18, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh. OK. You haven't done anything wrong. Sorry for the inconvenience. I think the bots do clear them; I shouldn't have done it. Silikonz  ( 💬 │ 🖋 ) 02:23, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Silikonz. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ASilikonz enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — Wug·a·po·des​ 03:22, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
 * Thanks Wugapodes! Silikonz  ( 💬 │ 🖋 ) 03:23, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Biographies of living persons policy
Hello. Re your edits at Muzzy Izzet, you were absolutely correct to revert that anon edit, and should have stuck with your first instincts. Such an allegation is unacceptable without a source, per the biographies of living persons policy. These are real people we're writing about. Struway2 (talk) 11:15, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for catching that! Yes, you're absolutely right about WP:BLP. I shouldn't have reverted my own edit there. I don't know what I was thinking then; I probably wasn't. Great job! Silikonz  ( 💬 │ 🖋 ) 20:44, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Cleaning up Special:WantedTemplates
Hi, due to quirks in the way that Wikipedia parses javascript pages, curly braces are parsed as templates, unless they are inside of , ,  ... As a result of this, your script page, User:Silikonz/sandbox.js, is generating links in Special:WantedTemplates (in particular links to Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:RWTEXT and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:RWTEXT\). Recently, an interface editor attempted to fix this by adding at the top and  at the bottom of your script page. This didn't work because you already have  on that page. It would be great if you could add  tags (you don't have these) at the top and bottom of your page [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3APlastikspork%2Freplace.js&type=revision&diff=1013976895&oldid=1005247463 like this] which will prevent your page from generating links in Special:WantedTemplates. Thanks for your help! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
