User talk:Rcsprinter123/Archives/9
Page interfaces and signaturesThe bouncy logo on this page in vector covers the main navigation links, something about how vector treats the page contents differently than monobook. Since most people here use vector, could you please fix that? More of an issue, however, is your signature - it's too long. I was just going to bring this up on IRC, but it's harder to demonstrate there. WP:SIG states that the maximum length for a signature is 255 characters, the hard limit imposed by the mediawiki, but you go around this by using a template. Now using one isn't necessarily a bad thing, can make it a target for vandalism and the like, but so long as it follows the other guideline and you watch your posts it should be fine. The problem here is that it doesn't follow the other guidelines, considering the sheer length. I pasted the result of one of the shorter variants directly into the preferences box and this was the result:
<font color="#A20846">'''[[User:Rcsprinter123|<span style="font-family:cambria; font-size:10pt; color:gray">Rcsprinter</span>]]''' [[User talk:Rcsprinter123|<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:8pt; color:black">(yak)]]</span> <span style="positio
Now arguably that's already pretty long, but since the entirety of what I tried to paste was this, I hope you can see the problem:
<font color="#A20846">'''[[User:Rcsprinter123|<span style="font-family:cambria; font-size:10pt; color:gray">Rcsprinter</span>]]''' [[User talk:Rcsprinter123|<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:8pt; color:black">(yak)]]</span> <span style="position:relative;margin-right:3.8em;font-family:calibri; font-size:8pt; color:black;"> <span style="position:absolute;left:0;line-height:90%;top:0">[[Special:Contributions/Rcsprinter123|<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:8pt; color:black">(''Contribs'')</span>]]<br>([[User:Rcsprinter123/Not Rcs|<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:8pt; color:black">''Not'' Rcs</span>]])</span></font>
Please, do something to make it shorter, 255 characters or less. It's very long, and the WP page is right; editing around such things can be somewhat bothersome. — Isarra (talk) 22:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
MOTDs (This space for rent)You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 14:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC) The Signpost: 05 March 2012

There is a question at the Teahouse you might have interest in...
Teahouse Talkback Template ReminderHey Rcsprinter123! Just a reminder - please don't forget to use the Teahouse Talkback for the editors you provide answers too. Most new editors don't know about the watchlist gadget or think about checking back, and it does show that leaving the template helps. It's mentioned Host tips page and also on a general template collection we have that features all of our templates, thus far! I hope you find value and use in these!

Suggestion for USERNOCAT botHi Rcsprinter! While reviewing BattyBot's edits to remove article categories from user pages, I noticed it's removing categories such as Category:WikiProject Songs members. Therefore, I changed my F&R rules to the following: \[\[Category:(.*?)\]\](?<!(Wikipedia|WikiProject).*) → [[:Category:$1]] Thought you might want to do the same. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 03:57, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Also, I thought I could be more efficient and run through all the talk pages with {{user sandbox}} and {{userspace draft}}. However, based on feedback at User talk:BattyBot, I've also set up AWB so it skips user pages that contain <!-- [[Category:.

ThanksI would like to change the title of article "Prince Fahad bin Faisal Al Saud" to "Fahad bin Faisal" since there are discussions about not including the words such as "prince, etc." to the titles. And if you review other bio articles of Saudi people there is no such words in the titles. So, if you fix it, I appreciate it. Thanks again.Egeymi (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 April newsletterRound 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's 65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April.

Results from comparing Rscprinterbot and 28botHey, I just wanted to let you know that we've finished up the full results for the comparison of your bot and 28bot. To make a long story short: it looks like it's a really good idea to start using a notification to any test editors explaining why there were reverted and how to remedy the situation. For registered editors, anyway. If you want to discuss it more or get some help drafting the message, we'd be happy to. :) Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 19:11, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
