Adopt me!
I've been editing for a month but I keep making mistakes. I only edit outer space related articles. There is a discussion about me at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents - Wikipedia. When you respond, please me. Starship SLS (formerly IP 64.121.103.144) (talk) 18:28, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

New request using The Userbox Requestinator 5000
Hi. Thanks for the offer to make userboxes. I would appreciate a user box similar to but with this image on the left of the userbox, sized to fit vertically and with text to the right of the image saying
 * This user is a member of the
 * Degree Confluence Project
 * with these confluence visits

If it's not too much trouble, the url and the text of the associated clickable link should be done as named input parameters (perhaps url= and label=). Hopefully, that's clear. Adjust that as needed if I've specified something which is difficult to do. I ought to be able to do this myself, but it's not immediately clear to me how to juggle the image size to fit. Thanks.

Question
Do you create topicons? Sorry for disturbing your peaceful wikibreak. TigerScientist Chat > contribs 17:35, 24 May 2021 (UTC)


 * When i feel like it, and when the topicon templates are in my favor, yes. Littlecat456💬(.log) 19:20, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

=BOT Idiocy???=== Apparently you automate your editing? It's not necessarily an effective way to work. 2601:405:4A80:9E50:E985:F44C:6FBD:F6A6 (talk) 12:06, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, automated editing is a thing, it’s perfectly normal, and there are many tools to do so, the two I use being Twinkle and RedWarn. Littlecat456💬(.log) 12:09, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

I invite you to participate in editing the Wikipedia article on Being and Time. Start by carefully reading the article. It might also be helpful and constructive for you to be familiar with the underlying subject matter. 2601:405:4A80:9E50:E985:F44C:6FBD:F6A6 (talk) 12:17, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Look, I patrol recent changes and look for vandalism and content blanking, if you’re doing a major rework of the article, maybe use the Under Construction template, so people know to ignore any suspected vandalism or blanking. Littlecat456💬(.log) 08:27, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

New request using The Userbox Requestinator 5000
Can you create a userbox for my new WikiFauna, the WikiOrca? It should say, "This user is a WikiOrca, surfing the waves of Wikipedia. Don't get on this user's bad side." Cut some words if needed. TigerScientist Chat > contribs 23:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Someone else already made it. Can you make a Wikiorca topicon then? TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 16:35, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * On it, gimme 10 minutes. Littlecat456💬(.log) 17:29, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Topicons don’t seem to like me trying to make them, the one you requested broke immediately. Littlecat456💬(.log) 10:27, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm ok you don’t have to do it. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 06:16, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I would like you to make userboxes for University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, and the Dual JD program between Detroit Mercy and the University of Windsor, please? If you could, it'd be so awesome. :) --VeroniqueBellamy (talk) 08:58, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Mentorship
Hello, I'm hoping to publish an article and am interested in being taken on as a mentee or adoptee. Are you adopting this year? Thanks! Nellas Galadhon (talk) 21:59, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Adoption?
I want to create articles, edit articles, and eventually become an administrator. I want someone to tell me what I do wrong and what I need to improve. May you adopt me? Mystic880 (talk) 09:19, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

New request using The Userbox Requestinator 5000
You should make a userbox about victor tsoi or Kino

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 22
 Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021).

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script
 * LuckyRename, by Alexis Jazz, is this month's featured script. LuckyRename makes requesting file moves easier, and automates the many steps in file moving (including automatic replacement of existing usage). Give it a shot!

Updated scripts
 * SD0001: hide-reverted-edits has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn.
 * Writ Keeper: massRollback.js has added a rollback-some option (missed in last issue).
 * ClaudineChionh: SkinSwitcher (a fork and update of Eizen's script) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins.

Pending requests
 * Mass-patrolling at Special:NewPages
 * Taking up the mantle of an almost completed peer review javascript bot
 * Restore the Wikipedia Citation Tool for Google Books
 * Autohighlighting specific characters (Greek)
 * ...and many more, all available at User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous
 * User scripts/Ranking is a sortable table of Wikipedia's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description.
 * Toolhub is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain. All Wikimedians can use Toolhub to search for tools to help with their workflows and to create lists of useful tools to share with others.

New scripts
 * Ahecht:
 * draft-sorter sorts AfC drafts by adding WikiProject banners to their talk pages. It supersedes User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, adding a few features and fixing some bugs.
 * massmove, a modified User:Plastikspork/massmove.js that adds a link to the left column, allows adding and removing both prefixes and suffixes.
 * watchlistcleaner removes missing pages (redlinks), redirects, pages you haven't edited recently, and/or pages you've never edited from your watchlist.
 * Awesome Aasim:
 * Infiniscroll adds infinite scrolling to user contributions, page histories, and log pages.
 * Quick create allows for the fast creation of red-linked pages with two clicks.
 * Caburum:
 * UTCclock adds a clock displaying the current UTC time.
 * Chlod:
 * CopiedTemplateEditor, mainly for CCI case handlers, allows graphically editing a talk page's copied templates.
 * DaxServer:
 * BooksToSfn adds a portlet link in Visual Editor's source mode editing, in main namespace articles or in the user's Sandbox. When clicked, it converts one inside a   tag block into an.
 * FlightTime:
 * OneClickArchiver is a custom version of User:Technical_13/Scripts/OneClickArchiver which doesn't prepend Clear to the top of each section on the archive page.
 * Jon Harald Søby:
 * diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".
 * warnOnLargeFile warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page.
 * JPxG:
 *  PressPass  adds a collection of tools for Newspapers.com including configurable automatic citation generation in five different formats.
 * CurrentSwitcher gives you links on the contribs page to hide duplicate entries, current revisions, rollbacks, huggles, twinkles, and redwarns.
 * TrackSum lets you automatically sum the lengths of tracks in templates like track listing and get total runtimes.
 * Nardog:
 * CopySectLink adds a button to copy the unencoded page title or section path next to each heading.
 * IPAInput allows you to type in IPA symbols by directly looking at an IPA key like Help:IPA/English and clicking on the symbols.
 * TemplatePreviewGuard warns when you try to use "Preview page with this template" with a page that doesn't transclude the template.
 * NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh:
 * ContribsTabVector adds "Contributions" and "Statistics" tabs to user and user talk pages on the Vector skin.
 * CopyvioChecker adds a "CopyvioCheck" tab to all pages, except Special (Vector skin only).
 * LiveDiffLink is a version of Equazcion's LiveDiffLink which shows a wikilink instead of a URL.
 * QuickDiff (by OneTwoThreeFall at Fandom) lets you quickly view any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, contribs pages, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere. For more information, view its page on Fandom.
 * Novem Linguae:
 * DetectSNG scans a list of 1,600 SNG keywords and displays them at the top of the article.
 * NotSoFast highlights recently created articles in the new pages feed, to discourage patrolling them too quickly.
 * UserRightsDiff concisely displays what perm was added or removed when viewing Special:UserRights.
 * VoteCounter displays a rough count of keeps and deletes at XFDs, RFCs, etc.
 * WatchlistAFD automatically watchlists the AFDs of any pages you AFC accept or NPP patrol, to help you calibrate your reviewing.
 * P.T.Đ:
 * TwinkleMobile enables Twinkle on mobile view (Minerva skin).
 * Qwerfjkl:
 * editRedirect adds a → link after redirects to edit them.
 * RegExTypoFix, a script for fixing typos, is a wrapper for User:Joeytje50/RETF.js.
 * talkback creates links after user talk page links like this: | |  (with the first linking to the user's contributions, and the latter giving the option of sending a talkback notice). It also adds a [] link next to section headers.

 * Rummskartoffel:

 * generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
 * share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
 * show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
 * Tol:
 * VisualEditor Citation Needed adds a button (under "Insert") in VisualEditor to add a citation needed tag.
 * Venkat TL:
 * ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
 * Vukky:
 * StatusChanger is a fork of Enterprisey's Status Changer, which adds a UI to the script. (using Morebits, so you'll need to have Twinkle enabled to use it).

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
