I am really confused by this edior. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 09:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I do not see any need of action from my side. MathXplore (talk) 09:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Can you explain to me what this editor mean? For my point of view, she does not know what attribution is but is not answering to me where the pages are from. They look a bit similar to EN wiki pages. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 09:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I guess they mean it's OK, but I haven't checked every page creation. Complex copies can be tagged with {{qd|a3}}, as usual. MathXplore (talk) 09:26, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't they are complex, but if they are I will tag them. Let me look into them. Thanks for you time. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 09:27, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Babel

Hi MathXplore, do you know about the coding for Babel templates? VirusDontKill (talk) 00:39, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I mean this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Babel#Usage

For reference, I created Category:User ain-1 and I thought that would add any pages containing {{#Babel:ain-1}} to that category, but it didn't. VirusDontKill (talk) 00:50, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I have no idea. Instead I will find someone who knows better. MathXplore (talk) 01:57, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Connecting templates in Wikidata

FYI, when you go around adding templates to Wikidata that I import, and you don't tell me, it makes me think that the system is doing it and that I don't need to worry about it. You'd be within your rights to trout me for not doing it myself. Please let me know if you're going to continue doing that and I'll take the task off my list -- there are going to be more and I was planning to go back to all the ones I've done recently. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I usually link all templates appearing in special:UnconnectedPages, so please feel free to leave them to me. Thank you for the imports. MathXplore (talk) 08:20, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Cool, thanks! I didn't know they showed up immediately like that. You might want to be sure that the same-named ones are a match, though. I think I've seen one or two that weren't. If I see any more, I'll follow up on them. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:23, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject Banner

Hey, it's Wheatley2 here. I just created a new WikiProject, and I'm trying to make a WikiProject Banner for pages that are related to it, like Wikipedia. Can you tell me what the error on the page "Lua error in Module:Template_parameter_value at line 3: assign to undeclared variable 'trimspaces'." means, and how I can fix it? Wheatley2 (talk) 02:44, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

I have no idea. Maybe it will be cleared by importing all relevant templates/modules, but I'm not sure if the community will welcome such actions. Please note that we don't have official WikiProjects. MathXplore (talk) 02:46, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I will move the recently created modules to my own userspace and I will attempt to fix them later. Wheatley2 (talk) 02:48, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I can't move modules to my userspace, so you can just delete the pages, besides the Banner holder and the regular banner holder modules, as that template may be useful. Wheatley2 (talk) 02:49, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

You can tag the modules you made with {{QD|G7}} if needed. MathXplore (talk) 02:52, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

I will. Wheatley2 (talk) 02:53, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Update: I don't know how to add wikitext to a module, so you'll have to manually delete them if need be. Wheatley2 (talk) 02:55, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

I have left a message about this on Wheatley2's talk page. VirusDontKill (talk) 03:00, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Wheatley2: Be aware that this project does not use WikiProject banners because WikiProjects here are unofficial.

If you are interested in other things that are different here, take a look at this list I maintain of such things. The list itself is not a policy or guideline, but it links to some relevant policies and guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:49, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

I already requested to have all associated modules and WikiProject templates deleted, as I didn't want to go through the work and was uncertain on the guidelines here. All of them are gone now. Wheatley2 (talk) 03:51, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Personal Attacks & Disruptive Edits from Socks

I have reported the socks here [1] in RFCU, But I think this should be on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard instead. Can you check it? Based Kashmiri (talk) 08:39, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't have CU permissions. @Bsadowski1, Eptalon, and Fr33kman: can you take care of this? MathXplore (talk) 08:50, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Vice presidents of the United States issue

In these changes: [3], you removed pages from Category:Vice Presidents of the United States, but they need to be in the vice presidents category. The problem comes from an edit to Template:US vice presidents, which used to add the pages to the category. 2607:F140:6000:802A:3887:B78:A774:E538 (talk) 23:28, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

The pages belong to Category:Vice presidents of the United States, this is the vice presidents category. MathXplore (talk) 23:29, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

But they're not in that category anymore, because the template was changed. 2607:F140:6000:802A:3887:B78:A774:E538 (talk) 23:31, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Then all you have to do is wait until the category pages are updated. If the template was recently changed, this may take time. MathXplore (talk) 23:34, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

The template was changed to not put pages in a category. That was in May 2024. 2607:F140:6000:802A:3887:B78:A774:E538 (talk) 23:34, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Video game character concern

I don't understand/agree with your moving of pages from Category:Tony Hawk's (series) guest characters to Category:Tony Hawk video games. I have two reasons:

1. The argument was that being guest characters in this video game is not a defining trait for these characters. Characters such as Shrek, Darth Maul, and Spider-Man are known for their appearances in other media, and the fact that they appeared in these particular video games is not defining.
2. These are characters, not video games. I put this reason second because a title such as "Tony Hawk video games" could be either a "topic category" or a "set category". However (a) I think it makes more sense as a set category, and (b) if there are enough entries for a category of characters, it would make sense to create one to reduce confusion.

The IPs do not seem to be VPNs, please see [5] and [6]. Please wait for CU feedback. I'm not sure if the current situation is enough for page protection. Please discuss this at WP:AN. MathXplore (talk) 11:36, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

They are not using vpn but I think the behavioral evidence is sufficient to prove that both are the same person or a meatpuppet of the blocked user. Based Kashmiri (talk) 11:51, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

@Cactusisme: Although Ferien has made these moves, please note:

• Using the same title as enwiki doesn't make the title better. We often use different titles on purpose.
• We do not have to use the same names for things as enwiki. Please don't automatically rename/move things just for that reason.

Apologies, I didn't see this discussion prior to these moves. I did them not just because it matches en, but also because it's easier to read to have the country name afterwards rather than nationality which can be more awkward to describe e.g. Dutch rather than the Netherlands. --Ferien (talk) 01:46, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@Cactusisme@Davey2010@Ferien@MathXplore: Probably so. Also, the parent category should change from "by nationality" to "by country". This is because the categories now indicate what country they competed for, which isn't always the same as the person's nationality. -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:24, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
