What I want from FurMe
What I want from the FurMe integration is easy access to templates. I don't mind cutting and pasting them it, so long as I don't have to go finding them.

For the FURs: So you know how when I click on TW's XfD button there is a drop down menu with the different types of deletion? Okay so if I'm on a file page, I'd like to be able to click in the TW menu something that says FUR and will open up a pop up with a drop down. The drop down should have all the most common FURs; Non-free use rationale (general), Album cover fur (album), Book cover fur (book), Poster fur (movie poster/general poster), Logo fur (logo), undefined (video/dvd/blueray), and Video game cover fur (video games). The drop down should default to general, as all the other ones do is make it easier, but general works for all of them. Really, for me, just having the full text for each of those six available in a pop up box, so I can cut and paste it in myself, is fine for me, however I am more experianced in this than many. If you could recapture the previous functionality of FurMe on furs, adapted so that it uses these six rationales instead of the smaller and obsolete selection it previously used, that would be ideal.

For the Licenses: This one I have a very light request for. Because it's one line of template and everyone knows exactly where to put it, all I really want here is for there to be a drop down menu with the most common free tags, non-free tags, and modifier tags. I will personally make a list for you later on this week. When I pick an entry in the drop down menu, I want it to appear, in brackets, as easily copy and paste-able, text in the pop up.

For me, FurMe is a convenience that saves me the time of having to go fetch temples. I know where all the templates are, but many people don't. For them, it provides much more. I suppose other people will have other requirements. I hope you can get it as close to the original functionality (but with new template lists) as possible, but I will readily adapt to whatever you come up with. To me, FurMe is a benefit, not a right, so I really can't complain much with whatever you do.

Hey. Thanks for the message. I've been here for years, and I still can't work out how to correctly nominate two or more pages or templates! I always get it wrong somehow. Thanks for sorting it out :) doktorb wordsdeeds 11:04, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Nowadays if you look at an actor's biography, the external links section is filled with several expanded award templates, which take up a lot of space on the article. Instead of having one big template for the awards, I created the sub-sections to show the winners of each period - a similar format to that found on the templates of the Oscars, SAG, Golden Globe, etc. Not only would this further help reduce the size of the templates, it would also help the overall template looks more organized. Lastly, if those awards can have separate templates for each period, I don't see the problem for doing the same thing for the Filmfare Awards. I have removed the deletion tag for now. --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 19:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: Nomination for deletion of Template:Uw-controversial2
Hi TT&TO - I've replied at TfD, but the template is still in fairly regular use and serves a completely different purpose from the alternative you suggest. Grutness...wha?  02:24, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for withdrawing the nom :) I've posted a message about the template at Wikipedia_talk:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace, which I hope is the right place for WP:UW to find out about it! Grutness...wha?  09:07, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

FURME
I appreciate you are busy on getting the existing FURME functionality working in TWINKLE, but would appreciate greatly if in reimplementing some expanded function was provided,

I had a hand in creating the templates currently known as : which are not currently in FURME and whose inclusion might be useful. However these templates, in my view may of themselves need some kind of overhaul, so that they can pick up the relevant infobox fields more effectivly.
 * Non-free use rationale audio sample
 * Non-free use rationale film poster
 * Non-free use rationale poster
 * Non-free use rationale video game cover

I'd also like to strongly suggest some kind of 'standard' rationale template be developed for :
 * magazine/comic covers as these are not well covered by the existing book cover one.
 * Biographical portraits/Images - as I've seen simmilar wording on a number of these used for infobox uses amongst others.

Thoughts on criteria?
Energy_saver_with_room_counter

I honestly can't decide on which criteria for CSD. Its not really advertising, but it isnt vandalism either. Thoughts? BTech United (talk) 03:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Do a PROD, because it fails WP:NOTHOWTO, and it's about a non-notable topic (but not one of the subject areas which CSD A7 covers). — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:20, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I couldn't help but notice this discussion while leaving a talkback. If you use Twinkle, you can set custom CSD criteria. This will leave it up to the admin as to which criteria works best. There is a way to do it with template code, but I'm not sure what it is. I'll update the page with the CSD. --Nathan2055talk 20:09, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. BTech United (talk) 01:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops, I made a mistake. While that page was also under G11 (advertising or promotion), WP:NOT is not enough force to generate a speedy deletion. PROD is good for other instances. However, most likely the reviewing admin will fix it and replace it with a PROD. Sorry about that! --Nathan2055talk 02:44, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Either way, it's gone now. Problem solved, eh? Also, apparently the custom rationale isn't for when you cant find another, which contradicts its reason for existing. EDIT: Apparently it means rather that it isn't for when you can't really provide a reason. The description leads one to believe that it isn't really ever to be used. Twinkle description needs work, perhaps? BTech United (talk) 23:50, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point. Now I look back on it, the wording I wrote for the tooltip on the CSD tag is indeed ambiguous. What it should say is that  must not be used simply because you think a page should be deleted, despite there being no applicable CSD criteria. Any suggestions for rewording the tooltip?... — This, that, and the other (talk)  07:11, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps "Custom rationale is for use only when you can not apply the other criteria easily to this article, yet it obviously meets deletion requirements" or something like that, mentioning that its only for use when obvious, yet cant apply the standard deletion criteria easily (due to ambiguity).

New Orleans hackathon in October
Hi, and thanks for your work on Twinkle.

I think you might be interested in coming to the New Orleans MediaWiki hackathon, October 14-16. (Not sure where you live; I know it might be a long trip if you're not already in North America.) We'll be working on infrastructure, such as ResourceLoader, AMICUS, and Wikimedia Labs, that supports gadgets like Twinkle. So it would be very valuable to have script and gadget developers, such as you, there to participate, give feedback, test, and hack. If you're interested, please put your name on the attendees list at that wiki page. Thanks!

And please spread the word about the event! I am trying to reach out to lots of Wikimedia gadget and script developers and maintainers. Thanks!

Twinkle question
I've noticed that you are pretty active at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle, so I'll direct my question to you. Wikify recently had a parameter added to it that allows for more specific directions. However, as much as it is needed, it probably won't catch on unless we get some help from Twinkle and even AWB. How hard would it be to add a dialogue box that pops up every time someone selects wikify from the "Tag" menu, similar to what happens with {{tl|cleanup))? Ryan Vesey asked here, but that's buried, so I'd like to find out from someone who knows a lot about the subject. Thoughts?

Re: The article Tegen Roberts has been proposed for deletion&#32;
I have updated the article since the concern was raised. Tegen Roberts is famous in the UK and made it into the major UK newspapers. As a gameshow winner and winner of one of the largest amounts given out at anytime on television in the UK. Also being the largest amount given out on any UK Channel for a non-prime time TV show. she gained considerable attention but the nature of her battle with her condition and overcoming it to then go on and win Deal or No Deal (UK game show) captured the hearts of the British people. Michuk (talk) 07:34, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The article Tegen Roberts has been rescued from proposed for deletion for the following reasons:

The subject of the article is a well known person in the UK since the Deal or No Deal (UK game show) and this follows precedents already set on Wikipedia for notability after winning a game show. Craig Phillips winner of British version of Big Brother and Judith Keppel who won Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (UK game show). The perception of notability of a person should not be limited by users who are not resident in the terrority where said notability is known and accepted. Both these notable people have share the distinction of winning the top prize in a televised gameshow. And are mentioned in articles for the corresponding gameshow.

Twinkle Preferences
Hi, the code for the TW PREFS panel currently contains: if ((mw.config.get("wgPageName") === "Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences" But this doesn't work when the code is copied to other wikis(due to localization of namespace). It took me a while to figure out that this was why the prefs panel wasn't working on hi-wp.(I'm not js--savvy.) Wouldn't it be easier for other projects to copy if this was replaced by: if (((mw.config.get("wgNamespaceNumber") === 4 && mw.config.get("wgTitle") === "Twinkle/Preferences") Thanks--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 08:50, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It would make it easier. I'll look into it.
 * As you have probably realised, Twinkle was unfortunately not written with project cross-compatibility in mind. A lot of other projects have a stale copy of Twinkle sitting around, most of them not working very well... I'm impressed to see that Hindi Wikipedia is taking the initiative to localise Twinkle, and I would appreciate any feedback on the import and localisation effort. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:31, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you from the hindi wikipedia for the compliment. However, you are right. Twinkle isn't written with cross-project compatibility in mind. There are stale copies of twinkle. Even the effort on hi is so far limited to UI and template translation only. No changes in code or module have taken place since AzaToth put version v2.0-17-ga2cdabc(3 june 2011) on hi. Although I have been planning to update it once the translation is complete, the biggest challenge that I(and probably others in similar situations) face is not knowing which updates to apply(as in which are en specific, and which aren't).


 * I'd be more than happy in providing feedback(detailed or brief, as you like). I've also been thinking that if developers here were interested, it shouldn't be tough in making a cross-project version of twinkle(I may be horribly wrong in this). I think I have some ideas for it, but not the coding skills. We can talk more about it if people are interested in making such a version of TW.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 12:52, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Note that Amalthea modifies the edit summary used by the Python script whenever he syncs the gadget, so that it mentions all the changes that were made to the repo since the last sync (within 255 characters, of course). See.

Burma templates
The best thing would be to get the township templates all dabbed and then start some of the most notable settlements and hide the other red links. There is nothing wrong with a few red links but I agree that many is exccessive. The best thing is to do what I have done with the template you placed at AFD right now. If you help with the dabbing of all of the templates I'll then hide the red links so the templates only have the existing articles in them.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:58, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

DNB templates

 * Yes: some sort of error appears to have been made when the templates were substituted, as is evident here. I'm assuming John Willis Clark did not in fact sign under three differnt sets of initials? I suggest you instead contact Plastikspork or SchuminWeb, as I don't know what exact process was undertaken to achieve the substitution.

See here. LikeLakers2 (talk &#124; Sign my guestbook!) 19:23, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Not for me, it doesn't. I just tried to CSD-tag your twinkleoptions.js file, and it added an entry to my userspace log, but it didn't tag the page (obviously), and nor did it notify you. — This, that, and the other (talk) 03:28, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, lets try this. You create a test page in your userspace, and when I get home (if its created before I get home), I'll try tagging it for G6, to see if it'll still notify you on my end. If it doesn't, shall I try tagging for U2, U3, and all G csd criteria g5 to g9? Just to see if they will all try to notify.
 * If it does, we could try creating an anchor template that will auto-include the ifexist function and the subst for db-csd-notice-custom and the four tildes. Then we could try removing the four tildes from the message that it would use, and remapping the template it uses to the anchor template. (probably need to reword this to make it understandable)
 * Does that sound good? LikeLakers2 (talk &#124; Sign my guestbook!) 16:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle suggestions
Hi. I don't  want  to  clutter the Twinkle talk  page with  this because (for the moment) I  think  its best  to  let  the bug reports have priority  there,  so  I  hope you  don't  mind me making  some suggestions here. The new Twinkle interface is a massive improvement over what  it  used to  be, but there have been comments that  the lists of uw templates in  the Twinkle dropdown are too  long  now to  permit  an easy  overview and a quick  choice. This isn't a problem with Twinkle, it's a problem of people who write new templates and ask you to add them to Twinkle. I've already mentioned somewhere that I now actually find it quicker to type custom messages or paste ones I made myself rather than hunt through the list at Twinkle.

A very quick remedy would be to provide mouseover tooltips previews of the templates. You went halfway with the new Twinkle interface by offering a 'preview' button, which is a very  useful  addition, but it's not quite the same as a shortcut for choosing the template, it's more useful for previewing any manually typed additions to the template before it's finally posted.

Another additional quick solution would be to offer a feature in Twinkle prefs for users to customise their Twinkle lists.

Steve is currently running experiments with templates, including some stats about their use, but I feel again that this is an issue that should also take note of empirical reports; for example, I'm an extremely busy editor and use Twinkle a lot, but there are a great many uw that I have never had occasion to use. I might go through them all, and make a list of the ones I believe to be superfluous and/or redundant at least to to Twinkle.

Your thoughts on these suggestions would help  towards the development  of the completely  new control  panel for new page patrollers. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... what's this NPP panel? Sounds interesting.
 * I totally agree that twinklewarn needs an overhaul. My first idea was to add subheadings in the dropdown list of templates (uw-vandalismX and uw-disrputiveX at the top, and the rest under headings like "Behavior in articles", "Files and uploads", etc.) This would be a first step to improving the process of choice, as I did when overhauling the Tag module. I also had an idea to replace the top dropdown (General note, Warning, etc.) with a row of toggle-buttons with a modern look. The challenge in all of these proposed renovations is to improve the experience for all users without hindering the workflow of experienced users (i.e. a "wizard" would not be introduced, because it adds too many clicks to the process - indeed, Microsoft isn't so keen on wizards anymore, probably for this reason).
 * Unfortunately, pop-up preview is a bit difficult to implement (not impossible, just very difficult!) - I would welcome any other suggestions. — This, that, and the other (talk) 04:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I  use tooltips easily  enough  on  sites I  build, but  there may  be stuff about  the Twinkle code I  don't  know about. How about  making  it possible for  users to  set their Twinkle prefs for the ones they  want  displayed?  One feature that  I  very  much  appreciated was the new ability you  made for users to  include their own custom  templates -  I  use that  a lot, so  making  a pref list  shouldn't  be too  hard to  code up. You  could start, for example by  offering  a default  list  of the most  common  ones, and let them  select  others to  add to  it. I'd make that  default  list  for you, if it  helps. In  the early  start  of such  a system there would of course be complaints from  two  out of a million  users who  can't  find the obscure template  that  only  they  use, but  I  think  we're used to  that ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:49, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Closing at Tfd
I saw you closed some discussions at Tfd. I don't know whether you do this regularly of late, but you should really not close discussions before the end of the mandatory week for discussion. Especially if there have been only two comments, as in those cases I saw. (November 22)

On a related note. Redirecting is a very (read: too) simple solution. Would be better to replace the instances and then redirect (or delete).

That said, I greatly appreciate your efforts. Debresser (talk) 07:27, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not usual for me to close TFD discussions. There were two reasons for my closure:
 * I would have boldly redirected these templates without going to TFD, had I cone across them in my travels (or had I been the nominator of the TFD);
 * There was no opposition to the idea of redirection, and I could not think of a plausible reason not to make this choice.

 * Thank you, for being conscientious about your edits. I don't oppose the redirects themselves, but do think that replacing the templates and then redirecting would be even better.

Hi. In James Oswald (Glasgow), you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Mill, Whig and Abstract (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Articles for creation/Chief Architect Software - A7 Speedy Deletion
Hello TTO, I wanted to get in contact with you regarding the latest review you provided for a page I created - Chief Architect Software. The article has been rejected several times - each time I've gone back through and tried to remedy the reviewer's issue with the article. I think I've done as well as I can. However, I just don't understand the A7 rejection. In the world of 3D CAD software, Chief Architect has a relevant presence. There are numerous other articles about other CAD programs that have been allowed to be created. Those other articles are poorly written (in some cases), some have no references, one page consists of nothing but a link. Yet these other pages have been allowed to be created. Here are 3 examples of CAD software pages that have been allowed for creation: The Chief Architect page I create has much more content and citations than any of the above. Forgive me, I'm just frustrated at the Wikipedia process that allows these bare bones articles to be created but rejects mine when it has significant content and references. Can you please help me understand the A7 rejection? I think this page deserves to be created. Thank you, Skieridaho (talk) 18:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)SkierIdaho

 * You raise a good point. I agree that your page is better than those articles you mention. But those articles were never "accepted", people went ahead and created them directly in the main article-space. I don't really think they should exist either; I'm going to nominate one for deletion (see Articles for deletion/Punch!

User:This, that and the other
 * CAD software has become paramount in the field of design. Professionals don't spend forever drawing things out by hand anymore - they use software. There are numerous software packages out there aiding in that endeavor and are significant in their effect on the design field - Chief Architect is one of them. The other software pages I cited have not been done well - given the chance, the Chief Architect page will be (and perhaps more on the topic of CAD software). I still do not agree with your nomination for an A7 deletion for Chief Architect Software. This product (and others like it) have a significant presence and effect on the field of professional design. 207.88.114.211 (talk) 17:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)SkierIdaho — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skieridaho (talk • contribs) 17:01, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The boilerplate message links to the general notability guideline. It requires "reliable, independent (third-party) sources (e.g. online news articles or professional reviews) providing significant coverage of the topic". That is what you need to allow the article to be accepted. You've put a lot of work in, so it would be disappointing if the article was deleted, but sadly I fear Chief Architect may simply not have the required coverage. — This, that, and the other (talk) 04:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Recently the article for creation The Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Medicine Podcast was rejected can you help?
I have been asked often about why I dont have a wikipedia article of my podcast. I was asked this a month ago when `I was asked at the main meeting of the `International Atomic energy agency in vienna where I was nominated by my country Australia as a delegate because of the podcast. The podcast is the longest running (serious) medical podcast and people look to wikipedia to have information and a 3rd party information.

For the Common Good questions
Hello This, that and the other, when logging into your tool, it prompts for a username and password and mentions that it will be saved to disk. If I enter this, where does it save this file, and will I be able to delete that file. (Note: I use WIN XP). Thank you, Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  16:06, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It saves the login info in the same folder as the program is saved, to a file called "ForTheCommonGood.cfg" (so long as you run the program by double-clicking its icon - if you open it from a web browser after downloading it, who knows where it will end up). Very easy to delete if you wish to do so (although FtCG will recreate it again the next time you run it and enter your credentials).
 * Merry Christmas. — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:19, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. I must say your new tool is extremely efficient. You quartered the time it takes to transfer a file to commons with this wonderful tool.

The thing that concerned me was that Jojofi kept coming back and doing the same thing over and over again at completely unpredictable intervals, and a request was posted to his or her talk page to stop doing it but it kept happening anyway.

 * Whoops, missed this one. Well, obviously, you can't define instance members in a static class; it's a great sin of .NET programming. In all seriousness, I suspect this was an error in the source which I uploaded to the server, and then I subsequently noticed the error and fixed it in my local version.

 * Just out of curiosity, are you willing to let on what your patch consists of? — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 2 hacks (see in edit mode, as nowiki tag removed newlines):

adding en template to existing description:

from

else {                   text = "==  ==\n" + text; }

to

else {                   text = "==  ==\n" + text; if (!text.Contains(@"{{en")) {                       text = Regex.Replace(text, @"\|\s*Description\s*=\s*(.+)\s*\|", "| Description    = {{en|1=$1}}\n|", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); }               }

and my infotag is different (filling author field with "Original uploader: "... and date with ": ") to avoid pointless copy-paste (this one may be dangerous to enable as default, as sometimes it possible/necessary to fill author/date with different data):

var uploader_link = "en:User:" + iis[iis.Count - 1].Attributes["user"].Value + ""; var infoTag = @"== ==

";

Bulwersator (talk) 10:08, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * In 1.0.2.2, is added automatically like you have done there; I wrote a very similar regex :) Also that stupid "I ... created this work entirely myself" phrase gets replaced with . I will upload it soon (don't know what happened to that hour...) — This, that, and the other (talk)  10:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't own the repository: AzaToth does, so you'll have to ask him. He's rarely active on enwiki these days, and I haven't heard from him on IRC for a while, so your best bet for contacting him would probably be by e-mail or a github message.

 * You've essentially become the project lead. If it's possible to share repository ownership, you should ask AzaToth to share it with you. If he's becoming inactive, it's best for someone who is still active to secure top level access before he goes totally dark.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  15:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * AFAICS there is no way of sharing repository ownership on github. If AzaToth ever goes away altogether, I would probably fork the repository (so I have ownership of a copy) and then use my fork as the central repo. But AzaToth does usually come back, so I don't expect to need to do that. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Magic spell
You proposed Magic spell to deal with "unpatrollable" pages for deletion as redundant. But as far as I can see, the bug still exists. Please explain to me how to remove the patrolled tag from User talk:RHaworth/patrl tst (new pages listing) without using my trick. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The issue is supposed to be fixed; perhaps consider reopening bug 30368 and linking to this instance. Obviously, consensus is to keep the page, and I'm not at all against this consensus. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:22, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Re:Category:Cleanup tagged articles without a reason field

 * [#Category:Cleanup_tagged_articles_without_a_reason_field Re:Category:Cleanup tagged articles without a reason field]

It may be a good idea to link "script-assisted edit" phrase to User:This, that and the other/cleanupCleanup.js (Category:Cleanup tagged articles without a reason field is with more than 25k articles) Bulwersator (talk) 08:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Good idea; ✅ done. You may have to clear your browser cache to see the changes.
 * I'm glad you like the script. — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

 * And tag without a reason may link to Category:Cleanup tagged articles without a reason field Bulwersator (talk) 14:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I am using the script variable, which should avoid such problems. — This, that , and the other (talk)  03:52, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see the edit summary changed to "Added reason code to cleanup tag (script assisted edit)". With appropriate changes to the script of course.  Rich Farmbrough, 18:09, 21 February 2012 (UTC).
