I have to commend Cacycle - he's been very helpful to those of us working to get wikEd to work on other wiki projects. He even helped us to set it up by default on a single page on Appropedia, so we can use it in converting content in HTML format into MediaWiki format. Extremely useful when there's a lot of open licensed content to convert to MediaWiki format.

Thanks for the review - I hadn't heard of some of those tools. --Chriswaterguy talk 16:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

My peer reviewer button disappeared when I added the UTC clock to my setting.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:12, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I just realized it's WikEd, not WikiEd. Sigh. / ƒETCH COMMS  /  03:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You are very much welcome. Stay tuned: we have something coming up next week as well (hopefully) (and no, it's not part 4) Res Mar 03:47, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Recently I noticed an unusual inflow of atrociously long cite templates into articles on my watchlist. It seemed that a bunch of unrelated, good faith editors suddenly obtained The Magic Button. Now it all fits together. Blame Canada Signpost! East of Borschov 06:21, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I know what you mean, and I had the same. It formats all the co editors into individual first/last boxes, right? You should contact Dispenser about that. Res Mar 21:05, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

AFAIK, Peer reviewer is broken and you need to use the toolserv version to get it to work (AndyZ, the author, sadly went inactive two years ago). Mind you, the last time I tried installing it was few months ago, around July - but if it was fixed, there is no indication of that on the talk page. I'd love for this Signpost article to give this useful script enough visibility so that somebody will fix it... but for that, we should make it clear that this is a BROKEN tool. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:05, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, I can't believe I never noticed his absence. Wow, his last edits actually precedes my first :O Res Mar 00:20, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * TheDJ did a couple of fix ups in May/June for the vector skin/JQuery. A few months later, I switched the Toolserver script back from Gary King's version since he did not want to maintain it.  — Dispenser 23:05, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
