Gaming edit counts
What's the policy with regard to incremental edits, whether or not for the purpose of increasing edit counts? For instance, what's to stop me or anyone else from correcting 3 misspellings over 3 edits rather than a single one? If it's not technically disallowed, what are the usual conventions (and any essays / policy docs)? Thanks! • - • TARDIS Builder (talk) 07:52, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't believe there is a specific policy disallowing or discouraging incremental edits or large single edits. I think that you should do whatever is most easiest and most convenient for you and not worry about edit count. You might want to take a look at WP:EDITCOUNT which might contain some relevant information. Thanks, Darylgolden(talk) Ping when replying 09:03, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

My signature + timestamp combo
Original message here.

How about this, ? Any way to test if this will play nicely with scripts? I've moved all the formatting to the signature input on the Preferences page. This way I'm signing with 4 tildes instead of 3, and then 5. — TARDIS builder &#128172;  |     00:10, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks good! reply-link recognizes it (though it errored out for unrelated reasons when I tried to reply…). I'm not certain about DiscussionTools because that's not available on English Wikipedia yet, but I assume it works. To identify comments, scripts and bots usually look for a line of text containing a link to a userpage or user talk page, with a timestamp at the very end of the line of text. That is true with your new signature, so it should be fine :) &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  00:25, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Buffyverse, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Possession. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Rcats
I came across your edit to, and I have a few notes: Just letting you know in case you didn't, or alternatively, opening a discussion if you disagree. Either way, thanks for your contributions. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Per, edits that add or remove categories shouldn't be marked as minor.
 * 2) If you're categorizing an r from song as printworthy, you should write, or else it'll be both printworthy and unprintworthy.
 * 3) Is Twas the Night Before Christmas" really a song? I think it's an r from alternative title, or perhaps an r from quote (in particular, a ).


 * @Jlwoodwa – thank you for the feedback.
 * I had always interpreted "categories" not to include redirect categories, just the "standard" ones that start [[Category:]] . Now that you point it out (and after reading that help page), I can see the rationale for including Rcats as non-minor.
 * I did not know that, thanks.
 * It says in the article that the poem was set to music and recorded by many artists. It may not be just a song, but it is also a song.
