User talk:The Voidwalker

Thanks!

Thanks for your recent work on Wikipedia. All of the anonymous IP users appreciate it. -The Anonymous, #74

Thanks for reverting my change on the Bob Geldof Page, and being mild about it (understood you search for vandals too, me not deemed one in this case, so that is kinda nice). Pretty obvious now i read it, dunno what was going on in that head of mine at that point, mostly do nothing if not sure, not always i guess. (Ps this right place for this, feel free to remove, if not). — Preceding unsigned comment added by G Wijnsma (talk • contribs) 12:14, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:The Voidwalker/centralAuthLink.js

Just an FYI that I reverted your change to this; I'm not sure why, but it was rendering the script non-functional. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E)  If you reply here, please ping me by using {{re|Ks0stm}} in your reply.  19:40, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ks0stm: I probably had an accidental typo in one of the resource loader modules (or somewhere else). I'll take a look at it later (and make sure it actually works before saving). -- The Voidwalker Whispers 01:45, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, so, it seems that one should not load in mediawiki.config because the .done/.then callback is never called for some reason (could be that it's already loaded). IDK, I'll poke around and make sure I didn't do something similar elsewhere. -- The Voidwalker Whispers 01:52, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lightning Award

 Slakr's Lightning Award

For being amazingly fast to create a useful script to help a fellow editor (i.e., User:The_Voidwalker/alwaysEditSectionLink.js), I hereby award you some lightning that I got from my buddy Thor.

Just be sure you ground yourself before you shake hands with anyone—especially if they have a pacemaker.

...on second thought, just stay away from old people altogether. Probably infants, too.

...oh and electronics.
...which kind of defeats the purpose of this award, now that I think of it. Well, crap. I guess worst case you can just eBay it or something?

Thanks, and keep up the good work =) --slakr\ talk / 01:27, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Steel Tree (Build-Grow)

Hello! I removed the contents of Steel Tree/ Build Grow because one of my students moved it from her sandbox to create a new article when it belonged as an edit in Richard Hunt (sculptor) page. I wrote to ask how to remove the article completely but my student was so upset that her unedited essay was live that I calmed her down by removing the content. Please delete the entire article? or tell me how to do it. Thanks, Mvendryes (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Mvendryes! I realized shortly after what was going on, but unfortunately was called away for real life situations. I had intended on moving the page back to the student's sandbox, but didn't have the time. It seems as though the situation was handled in the meantime. In future situations, should a student not wish for their work to be live, simply have them blank the content themselves. The page can then be tagged with {{db-user}}. The student may also place this tag themselves. An administrator should then wind up deleting the page. Cheers -- The Voidwalker Whispers 00:22, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

editToken

Hello The Voidwalker,

Your scripts User:The Voidwalker/falsePositiveHelper.js and User:The Voidwalker/rfaStatsUpdater.js are no longer functional because they attempt to get an editToken from mw.user.tokens. The scripts should instead get a csrfToken. editTokens were removed from mw.user.tokens on October 3, 2019 at Phabricator during this edit as they were redundant to csrfTokens.– BrandonXLF (talk) 00:06, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:The Voidwalker/alwaysEditSectionLink.js

Hi, just to let you know that I fixed a cross-site scripting vulnerability in User:The Voidwalker/alwaysEditSectionLink.js. If an attacker created a page where the title contains certain JavaScript code, that code would get run as the user running the script. Let me know if you want more details about how it might have been exploited. I've fixed the vulnerability by assembling the edit source link using JQuery instead of string concatenation.

Miraheze

Hello,

Sorry if this isn't the right place to contact you, but when I tried to make an account on Miraheze, I got this message:

Could you please fix this, if possible? I'm in Europe, if that helps.
