SPI tool
Hi!

Recently, I've had some difficulty getting the SPI-helper to work consistently - it doesn't show the "SPI archive" or "SPI" tools very often, and I was wondering how I might be able to fix this technical issue. Is it just a bug? Thanks for your help,

 * I'm going to guess that it's the same issue as below. If you still have problems, let me know. T. Canens (talk) 23:32, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

SPI helper script problems
Hi Tim, hopefully this topic is self-explanatory to you. Scroll down a bit to get to my post. Regards.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:14, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed. Let me know if you still have issues. T. Canens (talk) 23:26, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No issues. Everything's working fine. Just popped in to say thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:52, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Page Removed
Hello,

You removed our Companies page a while back. Can I ask why? It was approved and a 3rd party wrote it. It was : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continue_to_Give

SPI helper script block duration
Hi Tim, when I replace "indefinite" in the form, I get an error with no block. For example, I just wrote in "two weeks", and it didn't work. Thanks for taking a look at it when you have time.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:15, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki (i.e., Special:Block) doesn't parse "two weeks" either. Does "2 weeks" work? T. Canens (talk) 18:50, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * How can I test it?--Bbb23 (talk) 20:11, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Write "2 weeks" where it was "indefinite"? Anyway, I just tested it and "2 weeks" works. T. Canens (talk) 09:22, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Heh, no I meant how do I do it without blocking someone. Anyway, I'm sure it'll work if you say it does. I'll try to remember the next time I block someone for a shorter time than indefinite.--Bbb23 (talk) 11:32, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, you just block someone; there are a few test accounts for that in WP:ADMINGUIDE/B, and WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Example is a useful playground. T. Canens (talk) 15:43, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * But how do I run the script?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * You make a fake SPI case at the Example SPI. Or just resurrect one from the page history. T. Canens (talk) 15:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
