Formal request to stop maligning my user script
Hello friend. I'd like to request that you stop maligning my CiteHighlighter user script, which you have now done in multiple places on Wikipedia. I don't go around Wikipedia poo pooing on your user script, and I would ask the same respect in return. A little bit of background: I currently have 165 edits to WP:NPPSG, and I probably spent around 10-20 hours adding external links to every entry in NPPSG so that it could be scraped by my script. To my knowledge, my script is the only user script that incorporates NPPSG into it. Edit summaries such as there are several such scripts, and adding a link on this page does not magically make that script use it
are just flat out incorrect: my script does "magically" use NPPSG, and other scripts do not. I created an offline tool that does the conversion, and I update my script's database manually with NPPSG data about every two weeks. Thank you for your attention to this matter. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:51, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- "
there are several such scripts, and adding a link on this page does not magically make that script use it
" is absolutely true. That you don't know of them does not change the reality. And no, your does does not magically use these links. Like all other such script, you manually input domains at User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter.js. Your script does not automatically sync with WP:NPPSG. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)- Before I made my edits to NPPSG, none of the websites had domains, so I find it unlikely that other user scripts were able to scrape useful data from the list. I would suggest that if you know of other user scripts that use NPPSG data, that you provide details, so that we can get into sync on this issue. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Clear edit summaries
This is just a note of thanks - I always find your edit summaries really clear and constructive. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 01:02, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
