Hi, I found that you have some knowledge of codes. I have learned from Ryulong of how to add a scroll to my userboxes, but now, I would like to keep my Babel box separated from my userboxes. Do you know how to add a scroll to my Babel box? I want my Babel box to look like the original one, but just an additional of a scroll. I know I have to create MY OWN VERSION of Babel box first. Can you please help? Thank you very much! --Edmundkh15:50, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I did some enhancements - you will now probably want to create a new subpage (I used /Userboxtop) for them. Миша1314:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway thank you very much for being so helpful. Even though I don't like your edits, I still highly appreciate your kindness... ;-) Erm... But do you know how to make my WikiProject boxes to be JUST BELOW my Babel box? --Edmundkh10:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image deletion
You recently deleted the image "Torrie Wilson Sable playboy cover Mar 2004.jpg" under the WP:CSD#I5 guideline.
I understand the deletion, as it fit the criteria. The problem is it was in use on the Torrie Wilson article, until a sort of edit war ensued. On multiple pages there was much discussion as to whether magazine covers such as this could be used in articles.
Essentially, there were a few different reasons raised as to why the images shouldn't be in articles and on multiple pages different users went back and forth a few times removing them and putting them back citing their own reasoning or saying the opposing reasoning was false. This occured while the discussion was still going on in some pages, and for the article in question (Torrie Wilson) a discussion on the talk page never emerged, as it was mostly personal exchanges on talk pages like above.
As far as the other claims go, including those discussed by The Hybrid and myself, I requested admin input at the help desk, but it didn't prove to be too helpful, as it was archived before any admin was able to comment.
I request that the image "Torrie Wilson Sable playboy cover Mar 2004.jpg" be undeleted so that it may be appropriately used under the fair use guidelines in the Torrie Wilson article. --JohnDoe000708:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Misza13, first excuse my bad English please.
I am de:User:Kuhlo from the German Wikipedia and i want to use your Status Change Script. It sounds good and helpfull.
But I tried it and failed. Could you say what i did wrong?
Related pages:
de:User:Kuhlo Mainpage with {{Benutzer:Kuhlo/Status}} on it
de:User:Kuhlo/statusChanger.js has comment tags messed up - please copy it from here (best to do it in edit mode). Also, you have to decide on In/Busy/Out or Online/Beschäftigt/Offline here too.
de:User:Kuhlo/monobook.js has a directive importJavascriptL('Benutzer::Kuhlo/statusChanger.js', 'de');. I believe there sould be only one ":".
Yes, you need to add one more "*/" at the end of the script. Also if you changed the template to use lowercase status names, you have to change to online/beschäftigt/offline in the .js script too. Миша1309:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Guess what? Seems it were the "external" link brackets intruding into the 128x128 "canvas" (just checked that the icon doesn't grow with font size). Миша1322:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Who is Kate McAuliffe?
I've read your block logs, and found quite a number of inappropriate usernames you've blocked contained the name above. Who is she? Do you know? --Edmundkh16:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to go ahead and steal this one from you, Misza13. I hope you don't mind. The administrators already know who she is, where she lives, and such. (If they don't, somebody needs to e-mail me and I'll tell them all I know.) It would probably be a bad idea to reveal that information here, because she is a minor. Sean William@17:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Harrassment, trolling, vandalism. You saw the abusive usernames yourself. Figure the rest on your own. Миша1311:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
spoiler.txt
Your spoiler.txt generated daily on the toolserver includes stuff outside main article space - talk pages, user pages, Wikipedia: pages - and of course it probably shouldn't - David Gerard20:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Holy cripes, you're on "S" already. And have inevitably detected some pages that shouldn't be there. Well, I have adjusted the script and tommorow morning's breed should be ns-0 only. Cheers! Миша1321:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the deleted image linked above: the image was in use within the The World Today article, linked within text in the See also section. I had also made sure the image had the tag displaying it was not an orphan. While it is not really a problem that the image was deleted, I'd ask you to be a little bit more careful in future when deleting. Thanks. Wikiwoohoo20:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, merely linking to an image is not enough. Either a fair-use image is actually displayed on an article (and has a damn good rationale for that) or it violates WP:NONFREE and is eventually deleted. The deletion was within our policy. Also, since these deletions are done in an automated fashion and actual linking to an image page is such a rare case, I didn't bother to install any extra orphaning routines on my bot - it has hands full of work anyway, without checking Whatlinkshere. Миша1321:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article to which this image originally belonged, which was inappropriately redirected to another page, has been restored. Could you please restore the image? Fullmetal288706:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Changed - you can now do it yourself by editing the template (User:MiszaBot/config) placed on your talk page. Миша1315:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Monobook problems...
Hey, it's me again. :) I'm having a probelm with my monobook, and I thought you might be able to help. The script is the one beginning with "From User:Func", and continues to the bottom of the page. Do you think you could fix it? *Cremepuff222*20:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to say that, but that's one big mess. And it makes all the more difficult to trace the problem when I don't know what is actually broken (pus, it's been a long while since I was doing some monobook hacking). Миша1315:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello: I'm usually pretty good at figuring things out on my own, but have decided to just ask for your help. I would like to have archiving of my talk page set up suing your bot. I'm not sure the best settings, so will trust your judgment, if you are able to help me. I suppose that sections older than a week could go to the archive page. If you could set me up, it would be awesome; otherwise I will just try to sort it out on my own. thanks. —Gaffταλκ03:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Set. Threads older than 7 days will be archived to archives (starting with #3) until they fill up to 150 kilobytes, whereupon the bot will move on to the next number. Миша1307:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Could you tell me why your bot archived these "edits as older than 24 hours" [1], at 06:35, 10 June, including my incident report which was dated 05:53, 10 June, and yet did not archive other incidents with similar timestamps? —Viriditas | Talk10:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find the thread you mention in the diff page you provided. In fact, a search for "5:53" produces only one result, as part of "15:53". Are you sure it's that forum? Миша1315:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your bot just did it again:[2]. This time, it deleted the entry (which had three additional editorial comments) without archiving. I apologize for not giving you the thread title for each diff. It's "Wikistalking, disruption, incivility, and personal attacks". So, your bot just archived the same thread in less than 24 hours. Can you tell me why it is doing this? —Viriditas | Talk20:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I recently found that some of the archives of Wikipedia talk:Good articles had incorrect categories on them (in this case, Category:Wikipedia proposals). This was the result of a typo by one of the people editing that talk page a while ago. I was wondering if the archival bot could fix such things (e.g. replacing "category" links by ":category") and whether this occurs frequently enough to be worth the trouble? >Radiant<11:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dunno, it's an archiving bot, not fix-your-links, do-my-laundry, mow-the-lawn bot. Besides, it might be more challenge than it's worth to make it recognize whch links were used in text and which are legit categorizations. Миша1322:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. I would like to set up Wikipedia:Drawing board for archiving. Is it possible for threads that don't have replies yet (i.e. only have a post from a single editor) to NOT be archived? I think 14 days without activity would be fine for threads that have been replied to, but I'd hate to see a legitimate query go unanswered because it got lost in the clutter. I'd also like to personally thank you for picking up the slack when Werdna left, I've been loving the automatic archiving of my user talk page. —Elipongo (Talkcontribs) 18:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, there is no algorithm yet for what you'd want, because I haven't had the time to figure out how to recognize unreplied threads. Also, I have only picked work after Essjay's bots. Werdnabot's replacement is (as far as I know) Shadowbot3 (talk·contribs) - that's what should be archiving your talk page - has it ceased to function too? Миша1322:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why I got your bots mixed up with Shadowbot3, too much editing in the heat of the day perhaps. Sorry. My compliment for picking up the work of others does still apply, though, and I'll add my thanks for your gentle correction too.
Regarding the algorithm, I think Werdna's bot counted the number of signatures (or unsigned templates) in a section. If there was only one, that constituted unreplied.
As for the drawing board, I guess we'll just give things a month for people to reply to queries- that seems to work well enough at WP:NCHP. I'll set up the archival at the end of June to give people a chance to catch up the backlog. I hope I've set up the subpages correctly for your bot to operate. Thanks again! —Elipongo (Talkcontribs) 18:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No thread title
i dont care if you deleted my images titled "new years eve" the only reason i created an account was to temporarily put pix from my work desktop onto one of the few websites that aren't blocked, so that i may add them from Wikipedia to MySpace later on another computer. i knew you would eventually delete them, but i only needed them on Wikipedia for a few hours :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cugurl02 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Tradition. I picked up after EssjayBots I-III, which had the namespaces divided between them. With the large amount of pages to archive, this makes it easier to manage. Besides, archive bot for the Wikipedia namespaces runs at twice the frequency. Миша1311:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
not working?
hmm not worknig for me, is it /config or / config cause thasts how it is on the how to page, p.s thanks for changing the target destination, i missed that Ω§|Blacksmith210:55, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How about some patience? Not even a full day has passed since I fixed your page. The bot doesn't pick up a page as soon a the template appears, but runs at scheduled hours. Миша1311:11, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completed all of the steps for using the Status Changer script, but I can't see the in, out, busy buttons that are supposed to be near "Log Out". I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4 under Windows XP Home Edition. I really like the idea for the status changer, but I can't seem to get it to work!
Thank you,

Miszabot on Commons: talk page getting overcrowded ;)
Hey Misza. Could you have Miszabot make a daily archive run on Commons? My talk page over there is raelly busy (30 or so edits/day is not out of the ordinary) and even with a 7 day archive policy, I still get 60 topics on the page, so daily archiving isn't a luxury. Anyway, thanks for providing the service. Cheers! Siebrand12:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I did that, but then realized that threads are actually ===3rd-level=== headers on that page, unlike ==second== like on most forums. This would require some extra coding to faciliate. I'll add it back when it's ready. Миша1311:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

godmode-light.js
Hi! I tried out your godmode-light.js script. But nothing happened!(?)
I purged the page, and pressed Ctrl+F5, but I cant see any difference... Is there something more I have to do? — H92 (t · c · no) 11:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, when I wrote my second message, I just saw the links, I didn't press them, and I now know that it kinda doesn't work! Thanks for your tip about Twinkle, I'll try it out. Does it work on other Wikipedias than the English one as well? — H92 (t · c · no) 21:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Both can be made to work eventually. I have however found Twinkle to be more portable and generally well-designed in comparison. Миша1310:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It seems from the how to guide that archiving is only available for MiszaBot and not MiszaBot II, even though it mentios this. How do i set up MiszaBot II to archive on a page? It is currently set for MiszaBot, it seems. Simply south13:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The instructions are all the same. The confusion might be because the three bots (MiszaBot I, II and III) have divided up the namespaces in which they operate (in fact, it's jsut one bot running under 3 different accounts). Just place the {{User:MiszaBot/config}} as instructed and the correct bot will pick it up eventually (MiszaBot II in the case of Wikipedia talk: namespace). Миша1313:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I should delegate this barnstar to the bot that does all those deletions for me. ;-) But then again, I have carefully coded it. Anyway, sheesh, 3000? I've stopped counting deletions per day a month ago... :-D —Миша1318:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I recently set-up your bot to archive my talk page and was wondering if there is any code to stop it from archiving a certain section which i want to remain on my talk page. The one i had to stop werdnabot from archiving the section was <!--werdnabot-noarchive-->, is there anything like this i can add to my page for MiszaBot?
No explicit option, but you can hack around it: add <!-- 00:00, 1 January 3000 (UTC) --> - this should prevent the bot from archiving the section until 31st century... Миша1317:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
