WP:RMT script

{{resolved}} Hi, thank you for your contributions. I note this edit [1] which was made by you via script. In doing so, the script erased my reply, which I'm sure was unintentional, but also unacceptable. Please ensure that any such edits keep the entire discussion intact. 162 etc. (talk) 19:26, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

162 etc., huh. I assume this is because the reply wasn't there when I opened the script.   Courtesy ping: Eejit43, the maintainer of that script. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 19:29, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
You are likely correct, I'll make an update to the script later to handle that issue. Sorry about that! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 19:58, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
The script will now throw an error if the page has been edited since load. Eventually I might implement better logic to handle that, but this should do for now (especially since edit conflicts are probably pretty rare). ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:00, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

{{resolved}} The link worked before, but after the AWB run is now broken. I've reverted for now but this doesn't seem to have been an actual error in the Article History template. Hog Farm Talk 21:17, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Hog Farm, we realized this at the same time. I messed up my find and replace logic, causing it to link to Foo/GA1 instead of Talk:Foo/GA1. I've mass rollbacked, but this is an actual issue, see § "fix link" above. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️‍⚧️) 21:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I figured there must have been something going wrong with how the article history was essentially using a shorthand link, but couldn't figure out what was going on. That makes sense. Hog Farm Talk 21:49, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

AFD participation request

{{resolved}} Hi, if you have some spare time, could you participate in the AFD for Civil Police Officer? It is not getting enough participation. Thank you in advance. 2409:4073:114:4E4C:4D26:ABA5:4290:7758 (talk) 15:26, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

{{resolved}} Hello. In accordance with procedure, I am asking you to reconsider your close before opening an MR. The RM in question was barreling toward one direction before new (policy-based) arguments were raised, and then editors began to veer toward the opposite direction before this was cut short by your no-consensus close. I feel the discussion should have been kept open for a while longer to see whether more editors would subscribe to the recently raised arguments or solidify the opposition. Thank you.

Question from LittleFranzl (10:39, 14 January 2024)

{{resolved}} Hi there! I've been looking at the page about bare URLs, and I don't think I get it yet. Isn't it enough just to use the ref code around the URL address? I'd like to add an attribution, but I don't want to get it wrong. (I'm a total rookie). Your help is very much appreciated. --LittleFranzl (talk) 10:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@LittleFranzl, sorry for the late reply. In simple terms, sometimes URLs are removed or moved to different places, and if we only have a URL to go off, it is harder to find where that source went. In the future, you can add additional information using Wikipedia:ProveIt or using the   button in the editor. For more information, see Help:Referencing for beginners.

Thank you - that's helpful. I appreciate your time. LittleFranzl (talk) 08:29, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

"fix link"

{{resolved}} Hello, could you explain how the links you "fixed" from your AWB account were "broken"? 1234qwer1234qwer4 22:01, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, 1234qwer1234qwer4. These links cause issues with scripts, namely the Metadata gadget, which causes them to link to the literal page /GA1, as opposed to the GA nom. Thanks, Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 22:05, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
@1234qwer1234qwer4, is this a sufficient explanation and can the edits continue? Your silence will be interpreted as consent. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 16:14, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, looks like I forgot about this. It seems reasonable, but maybe that's an issue the script should fix? Otherwise, it might make sense to perform this kind of change with a bot instead (the AWB account does not seem to have a bot flag)? 1234qwer1234qwer4 19:30, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
