I am sorry to bother you but I have been recently pulling updates for Module:Wd to several other WMF sites and the Welsh guys seem to be having an issue with the malformed-reference code you authored at Special:Diff/1142473992/1150716473. I thought perhaps you could weigh in at cy:Sgwrs Defnyddiwr:Llywelyn2000#Gwallau WD, since I assume you understand that code considerably better than I do. Thank you, —Uzume (talk) 12:59, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template editing

Your account has been granted the "templateeditor" user permission, allowing you to edit templates and modules that have been protected with template protection. It also allows you to bypass the title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit editnotices. Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation.

You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.

This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

If you were granted the permission on a temporary basis you will need to re-apply for the permission a few days before it expires including in your request a permalink to the discussion where it was granted and a {{ping}} for the administrator who granted the permission. You can find the permalink in your rights log.

Many thanks! Janhrach (talk) 13:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Janhrach,
If you could add a short description of your change when making a template modification (instead of just "Update from sandbox"), it would make future maintenance easier. That way, we won't have to check what you did mention when you made the change in the sandbox.
Thanks again for your contributions! The RedBurn (ϕ) 05:43, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous Cyrillic symbols

Is there some sort of task force activity in progress to clean up junk pages about Cyrillic characters? If so, where is it documented? If so, I would like to see what its scope is intended to be. If you have taken it on yourself to clean up pages about Cyrillic characters, it would be a good idea to become familiar with how draft space is used and is meant to be used. On the one hand, stuff that is truly abandoned is nominated for deletion by a bot, and so is self-deleting. On the other hand, making minor edits to drafts is a feature, not a bug or a misfeature. I haven't looked in detail at the articles and redirects that you have tagged, but I know that the drafts that you have tagged are the sort of stuff that do no harm in draft space indefinitely if they are tweaked every five months, and cause more work for the community to discuss whether to delete them than would be spent leaving them alone either to go away in six months, or to linger for several years of occasional edits, or possibly to find a second reliable source and go into article space. So please either let me know who is coordinating this cleanup, or stop ragpicking . Robert McClenon (talk) 04:43, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon: I am sorry for the disruption I caused. I did not coordinate the edits with anybody.
I started focusing on stubs about obscure Cyrillic letters after I stumbled upon this AfD a few days ago, which was about articles created by Glenn103. I tried MfD-ing a few drafts by this editor (they seemed to be hoaxes), but I was soon notified of Wikipedia:Drafts are not checked for notability or sanity. After an initial mainspace-only block, the editor was blocked as a sock from this group.
This raised my suspicions. Additionally, logged-out socking had been reported by AfC reviewers on some older drafts edited by Glenn103. After some digging in page histories, I found that some Cyrillic drafts had been edited by users from this sock group (focus on Cyrillic has even been pointed out in this SPI). I became convinced that there is an LTA focusing on obscure Cyrillic letters.
I thought the best solution to socking on old drafts about unnotable topics was to send them to MfD. I mistakenly thought that Wikipedia:Drafts are not checked for notability or sanity#So when is MfD appropriate? permitted, if not encouraged, nominations like this.
Again, I apologize. Shall I withdraw the nominations? If yes, does simply closing them, with a note of the withdrawal, suffice?
Janhrach (talk) 13:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At this point, I think that leaving the nominations open at MFD to be closed formally in about six days is probably the simplest course of action. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:42, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You were right. Those Cyrillic letter drafts were hoaxes, and the originator was a sockpuppet, and the drafts have been deleted and the originator blocked. You were right. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:05, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
