T'was The Night Before Wikimas - found on Teahouse Dec.2019
Found this in Teahouse, and I like it very much, so I copied it...
T'was The Night Before Wikimas
Saint Jimbo arrives to help a pair of sleepy editors.
'Twas the night before Wikimas, when all through the Teahouse
Not an editor was stirring, not even a mouse.
The references had been inserted by users with care,
In hopes that St. Jimbo[who?] soon would be there.
Most editors were nestled all snug by their beds,[citation needed]
While visions of new articles danced in their heads.
When out from a keyboard there arose such a clatter
I sprang to my screen to see what was the matter.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a question on sources and how to use them well here . . .
read on . . .
More rapid than eagles these questioners came,
And the hosts from the Teahouse welcomed each one by name.
As dry words that before an old dictionary fly,
when they meet with a synonym, mount to the sky,[citation needed]
So, onto these articles the edits they flew,
With a sleigh full of facts, and citations, too.
Facial composite of man wanted for questioning in connection with digital break-ins on Christmas eve.
And then in a twinkling, I saw on the page
Our wiki-creator: a man of great age.
As I checked it on Commons and was turning around,
Down my router St. Jimbo came in with a bound.
Almost 6 million articles he had flung on his back,
And he looked like most users with the editing knack.
His eyes – how they twinkled! slightly square – but how merry! Too much editing, folks, had turned his nose red like a cherry![medical citation needed]
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.[citation needed]
St. Jimbo: "Happy Editing to all, and to all users a good night!"
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his editing,
And filled bare urls; did sourcing and crediting
And confirming notability with a tap on his nose,
And pressing "Publish changes", back up my modem he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, leaving me to my epistle.[anachronism]
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Editing to all, and to all users a good night!"

@Jimfbleak: Hi, thank you for the move. I've tried to create a subpage using the following script copied from deWP. Maybe the hickup occured due to prefix "Benutzerin", which I now changed to "User". Something else wrong with the code? Regards, Maresa63 (talk) 19:04, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert on coding, but "Benutzerin" on en-wiki is, of course, treated as just another word, unlike the special term "User". I can't see why your script wouldn't work as written, but I have no expertise in that area Jimfbleak - talk to me?20:19, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited FedCon, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Grace Park, Michael Hogan and Brian Muir. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
