Hi. Not sure if this is still maintained as is shown in the Gadgets section, but for some reason, the text looks very squeezed in. 1989 (talk) 03:04, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

 * I ran into the same issue. Width of the main content is capped so it shows about 35 characters per line. It may be related to the newish vector-2022 skin. I'm not sure if that was enabled automatically or if I did it at some point. Matthias Winkelmann (talk) 05:28, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Problem with Template:Unicode blocks
Hi, TheDJ. I've been having a problem I don't understand getting Template:Unicode blocks to initially appear in collapsed state, and I noticed you recently made some changes to the template.

I've been trying to make Unicode character property a little more readable by having a couple of very large tables come up in collapsed state by adding a parameter to the templates that generate them. This works fine for the Template:ISO 15924 script codes and related Unicode data invocation. However doing the same to the Unicode blocks template has no apparent effect; the table still appears in expanded form.

I have no idea if my edit would have been equally ineffective with the template version before your edits or not. It could be that the state parameter never worked on this template. Unfortunately I'm not too knowledgeable about template coding, so maybe you could take a look at the issue and tell me if there is a way to get the table to initially appear collapsed. Thanks, -- R.

I just happened across the deprecation notice for the tiles.wmflabs.org service that you added back in Jan 2022, and wanted to drop a note of thanks for your long and hard work on that service (and OSMdb), as well as give people looking at this talk page a pointer to some of the other discussions about it.

Regarding dataset for image provided in Wikimedia (File:PerrinPlot2.svg from Brownian motion on en.wikipedia.org)
Hi Derk-Jan, I am a PhD candidate at Columbia looking to use the dataset from Jean Perrin's 1909 paper which is depicted in the .svg file you had originally uploaded to the Brownian motion Wikipedia page.

Would you be able to point me to where this data was originally sourced from as I am looking to analyze it for my work but cannot seem to find it anywhere online. Also, I apologize if this is not the right place to message you, I am new to interacting with users on Wikipedia.

Thank you very much, Kiran KDGauthier (talk) 17:22, 21 June 2022 (UTC)


 * It was an svg that someone had uploaded on top of the original gif file. On that day, this broke the image because an svg file was no longer allowed to have the fileextension gif, so i split it off into a new upload and deleted the offending file revision in the .gif entry. See also the log here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=&user=&page=File%3APerrinPlot2.gif
 * So there was originally a gif uploaded in 2007 by a user Kraus, who retrieved it from a page on the paper ( http://www.matpack.de/Info/images/Thermodynamics/PerrinPlot2.gif ) then in 2009  MiraiWarren  created an svg based on that gif, in 2010 i split it off into a separate entry and  in 2015 the file was moved to Wikimedia Commons. That is as much as i know of it. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 18:23, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Respect
(if you've ever seen Last Week Tonight, feel free to imagine John Oliver's voice as you read this.. I think it helps) I generally respect you. You are a good contributor and knowledgeable. Like any human, I get things wrong sometimes. Misjudge. Phrase an opinion more harshly than necessary. Usually it's deserved, but sometimes in hindsight I could've held back a bit more. It's a thin line to walk, but I don't always err on the side of caution. Those who do are often walked over. Simply dampening criticism across the board always makes things worse. So, and this applies to any situation, humanity has to try and reason with one another, as long as the other party is willing to listen, accept constructive criticism and -when appropriate- apologize.If you know me at all, you'd know I readily admit my mistakes and poor word choices if I'm made aware of those. Misinterpretation of my words happens every once in a while. If something turns out to be open to interpretation I'll often clarify or adjust them.I'm not easily offended. Some random anon calling me a cunt (it has happened) doesn't bother me, it makes me laugh. Even if a respected user would say something like "I hate your style, I think you're a cunt." I wouldn't be overly concerned. It's unfortunate, but only an opinion, and you can't always please everyone.And because I respect you, I'm actually offended by your triple-word order without punctuation. Phrasing it as an order -who are you, my boss?- is already severely disrespectful. Using only three words, not even attempting to engage in any meaningful constructive criticism is, whether you intended that or not, a recipe for escalation. Trolls often do it as a tactic to evoke a response. I'd have thought you knew better than that.But the icing on the cake is to do it with no punctuation whatsoever. Do you think that little of me? You can't be bothered to press shift or enter a period? If you want to criticize my actions or even my personality, put in the bloody effort. Be creative. Explain in detail how much you hate my guts. So please, if you must, just vent that anger and we'll both feel better. And now, this. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 16:05, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I ain't got time to be creative right now (burying a familymember today). I'm often critical of the foundation and there are many ways to do so. Yet these personal attacks are just you pushing people's buttons out of frustration in hopes of triggering a response. It's unnecessary and only further sours the relationship between employees and community without actually fixing problems. If I see this kind of behavior towards ppl who I consider to be friends, I damn sure will call it out and I don't care about you wikilawyering your way around it. My respect goes to people who build others up, and my respect is extremely quickly lost when ppl punch down at ppl who aren't free to respond to their attacks. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 07:45, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * (if you feel this is TLDR, at least read the last paragraph) I'm sorry for your loss.And, well, not a John Oliver fan I presume. I'm disappointed with your use of "ur", "u" and "r" in that reverted edit summary, but then again, you are saying clearly that you simply don't respect me and since I told you I don't like that sort of thing (outside memes) I guess I gave you free ammunition there so understandably you used it.I don't need people to respect me to respect them. I still respect your knowledge and contributions to the project. On a more personal level, I respect people who engage in conversation, who try to understand each another, who try to keep an open mind. There's no requirement to agree there, I can completely disagree with someone's opinion while respecting their point of view. Or the opposite: to agree with someone while thinking the way they arrived at their opinion is completely backwards.You are simply trying to protect friends from what you perceive as attacks. That's completely understandable. Whether they actually need or want your protection is an open question, but regardless, understandable. But even if you'd be right and I am simply the villain who has to be stopped (you wouldn't be unique in that), throwing in triple-word orders without punctuation isn't going to help. Or more accurately: that trick only works once. Because with it, you've largely burned my respect on the personal level.WMF employees would have to be more careful when responding, but they most assuredly can respond to attacks. Dealing with criticism and even attacks is par for the course if you work for the WMF. And certain responses to such "attacks" can definitely earn my respect. I'll hardly ever say something that should be taken personally anyway.I suppose that's what disappoints me the most: you took all this personally. Your decisions here may or may not be affected by your loss of a family member. If you even suspect your grief may be affecting your decisions here, I'd recommend staying offline for a few days, or at least away from forums/social media/wikis/etc. Not for me, for you. Talk with family/friends, maybe read a book, take a walk, listen to music that matches how you feel, or just sit in a room quietly. Or if you just feel like punching a pillow.. do it. If the latter is what you feel like, don't hold back. I don't know how you feel right now. But whatever works to process your emotions, you should do. I'm only suggesting, just giving advice. One thing I do know: wiki is rarely a good place to be when you're dealing with emotions. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 16:05, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Message boxes
Thanks for that! I've included a brief summary and linked the article, which I think is probably better than quoting it to the point that people don't go and read it. Is it bad that of the "well-known names" I only really recognise half of them? And I was active back then, so you'd think I would.

Signpost fixes
I've been trying to put together a basic overview of how the Signpost works on a technical level, and have noticed you in the edit histories of many of the templates, fixing stuff that's broken and removing stuff that doesn't need to be there. Good work! jp×g 06:54, 25 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thx. I’ve made three distinct changes changes in the past. First, I implemented the new design a couple of years ago (2015?). This is the bigger changes I made to the templates. The interesting part here is that they had to be made in a way which would keep those templates working in older versions of articles. This is why sometimes you’ll see v2 templates in use (because changing the original version would break the old articles. I also made most pages mobile responsive. Things like the headers footers etc were all fixed width for a long long time. And then I’ve converted large parts to templatestyles, which simplifies the templates a lot compared to the earlier inline styles. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 07:10, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

About Page consisting solely of closing a div tag, created in 2016, and not linked to from anywhere
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Page consisting solely of closing a div tag, created in 2016, and not linked to from anywhere a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Wikipedia:Signpost/Template:Signpost-canvas-end. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. jp×g 05:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Non-free use rationale templates
Hi there, I know you've been busy lately but I wanted to know if you knew of a way to correct the display of Non-free use rationale and Non-free use rationale 2 in Vector 2022 in the short term, just until you're able to get round to updating the code? &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Was the problem mostly that the caption didn't look like it did before ? —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 13:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, though there's also the issue of Non-free use rationale 2. I don't think they should both use the same TemplateStyles as the designs are different. [?useskin=vector This] is how that template appears in Vector legacy; as you can see, the line height is reduced as well as the caption at the top. I would prefer that to be retained in Vector 2022. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 15:04, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Why are the designs different ? Its generally a bad idea to have multiple styles for something which should essentially be the same. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 15:07, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That may be, but for whatever reason, they're different and I'd rather we be as conservative as possible in preserving the design, in the absence of a talkpage consensus to change it. I personally prefer the design of Non-free use rationale 2 for being more compact. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 15:09, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Id rather we not be conservative. We've been conservative for a long time and thats part of why it's difficult to fix problems like this. We should challange past decisions and decide if they make sense. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 15:11, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, well I would prefer if we could incorporate Non-free use rationale 2's line height and caption style into Non-free use rationale/styles.css, if that's OK? &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 15:13, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Regarding sronly
Hello, I'm reaching out to you both because you're the last editor to update Template:Screen reader-only and because I've seen a lot of knowledgeable posts from you on the bowels on Wikipedia's software side. I noticed a bug in that template trying to use it to improve the accessibility for tooltip. There are several different types of rendering errors when the template is used within a link. I don't know if there is an easy fix for using the template within links, or if maybe it was never to meant to go inside a link and should generate some kind of warning message or category error.

Response at the Teahouse
Hi - I was just writing a response to the Teahouse question about a page not showing up in search results when I saw your reply, but I was about to say something totally different and wanted to make sure I was correct first. I am under the impression that pages will only index once they have been patrolled through WP:NPP or once 90 days has passed since the creation of the article - the issue for that page is that it hasn't been patrolled, not that Google hasn't gotten around to it yet, no?
