Huggle

Hi! I noticed that you have been using Twinkle to revert vandalism! That's awesome! Huggle is another great option that I recommend it's fast and quick, it reverts vandalism and warns the user for you in one click of a button! It can also do a lot of other things! --Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 21:50, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

thegooduser, I tried Huggle, but I the user interface too complicated for me. Mstrojny (talk) 23:08, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
No Problem. I was very confused at first. But I wrote a quick start at MW:Manual:Huggle, have you read it yet? It's really easy to use once you get the hang of it, a lot of the functions on huggle I don't use. --Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 23:10, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Proposed change

I am proposing a new change to WP:TUTORIAL. See here. Also see my sandbox. DannyS712 wanted the second layer of headings to be equal length. Can you please edit the sandbox so that the headings are of equal length? Thank you. Mstrojny (talk) 10:31, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

You'll likely have to modify the actual tab pages such as Wikipedia:Tutorial/TabsTop. I would not do that without previously having created sandbox copies of all the relevant pages and having tested the edits there. My personal guess is that the length is due to the margin:auto; parameter in Wikipedia:Introduction/TabsTop which would likely need to be added to the tutorial version of the TabsTop page to make those full-width too. Huon (talk) 11:38, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Huon, I have created sandbox changes here and here. I don't know how to fix the margin:auto; parameter. Can you tell me what needs to be changed to or change it for me? You are welcome to edit my sandboxes to get the code right. I don't have much experience in this area of Wikipedia. Mstrojny (talk) 11:52, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
My initial guess was wrong; instead, I had to create copies of Wikipedia:Introduction/Tab1 and Wikipedia:Introduction/Tab2 with the width adapted to having nine tabs. Now it looks mostly decent. More work could be done to get the frame right. Huon (talk) 13:29, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Huon, Thank you, I will add to the discussion on the talk page that you fixed it. Mstrojny (talk) 13:37, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Cannon content removed wrongfully

Good day Interstellarity,

I received a message stating that you removed one of my edits.

The information I added was made cannon in the Marvel Universe story-line through the movie Deadpool 2. I do acknowledge that the content may seem vulgar, but it is factual and should remain on record. I understand that you might have removed it in misconception that it was an attempt of vandalism, but I assure you I was merely adding new content that was cannoned by Marvel.

Please help resolve this issue,

Best regards, JP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.113.214.43 (talk) 13:25, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

I am not familiar with Marvel. I will let another editor review your edits and my reverts so we can resolve this. How does that sound to you? Interstellarity (talk) 15:12, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
Content in Wikipedia must be supported by independent reliable sources. If you can find sources that support your edit, feel free to undo my changes with a source. Interstellarity (talk) 18:02, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

IRC nick

It appears that you asked at #wikipedia-en-help about how to delete your account.

Normally, you just stop using the nickname and, in the fullness of time, your registration will expire and someone else can potentially register it. You could ask a channel op to drop your old nick, which would cancel your registration immediately without waiting for it to expire. But the easiest thing to do is to simply stop using it, since it could be confusing if someone else started using the nick so soon after you stopped.

(If you had obtained a cloak on IRC, the process would likely be more complicated, but it doesn't appear that you did that.)

Happy editing and the IRC channels are still there if you want to use it, perhaps under a new nickname. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 21:58, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: Thank you. That helps a lot. Interstellarity (talk) 00:30, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Checkuser usage

Hi! In regards to the SPI you filed, the checkuser tool (which is used to compare IP addresses of users) is not allowed to be used to publicly disclose IPs as per the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy. (You can see some guidance here.) In general, you should only request checkuser evidence when either (1) there is evidence to suspect two or more user accounts, not IPs, of being operated abusively and the evidence is not so blatant as to warrant immediately blocking them, or (2) there is a blatant sockpuppet of a user known to make multiple abusive sockpuppets at the same time. In this case, the checkuser would be used to look for the undiscovered accounts. Bear in mind, however, that checkuser is not for fishing, and checkusers will not check users for sockpuppets merely on suspicions or hunches that user may have an unknown sockpuppet account. Let me know if you have any more questions! Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 23:40, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

@Reaper Eternal: Thank you very much for the guidance. I will keep asking if I have any more questions. Interstellarity (talk) 23:44, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
