TWA pages
I found a bunch of pages from WP:TWA that have Lint errors. They are Template editor protected, so your help will be appreciated. Watch out for some of the missing end/stripped tags that aren't actually errors because of being divided between two pages.
- Wikipedia:TWA/2/End
- Wikipedia:TWA/3/End
- Wikipedia:TWA/Earth/History/1
- Wikipedia:TWA/Earth/History/2
- Wikipedia:TWA/Teahouse/Style
- Wikipedia:TWA/Teahouse/1
- Wikipedia:TWA/Teahouse/2
- Wikipedia:TWA/Background/3
- Wikipedia:TWA/Background/7
- Wikipedia:TWA/Earth/4/Diff
- Wikipedia:TWA/Earth/Talk/1
- Wikipedia:TWA/MyTalk/1
- Wikipedia:TWA/People
These pages get substed to the userspace of those who play TWA. So this has already spread a lot of errors that can't be easily fixed. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 04:55, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Done. I haven't tried substing the pages to see if some combination of the pages results in errors. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:57, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! BTW you will be interested to know I have filed a BRFA to replace certain signatures causing high priority Lint errors. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 09:17, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I found three more Template protected pages with Lint error.
- Wikipedia:Article wizard/HowToDiscloseCOI
- Wikipedia:Article wizard/CommonMistakes
- Wikipedia:Article wizard/version1/basics

Here's some more templates giving stripped and missing end tag errors that can be taken off Linter reports using includeonly/noinclude -
- Template:This is a redirect/collapse bottom
- Template:Col-end
- Template:Rfd top
- Template:Graphic novel list/footer
- Template:DYK bottom
- Template:Col-begin

- There's just over 3500 pages where the 3 closing divs at the top of the page need moving to the end of the page. Something for a Bot to do. -- WOSlinker (talk) 08:18, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- Good find, this will fix 21k errors in userspace. I already have much to do for my bot and this would need a separate BRFA. You can file a BOTREQ or I can do this task after a few weeks. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 09:31, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- It looks like WOSlinker fixed a few of the pages in this most recent list. Others look like false positives or more complex cases to me. If they cause actual errors when they are transcluded, then they need to be fixed. Otherwise, we may be able to ignore them. 99.5+% of the template-space pages that cause actual Linter errors when they are transcluded or substed were fixed long ago, mostly in 2018. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:40, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- While doing new page patrol, I came across User:Mokretar mo/TWA/Earth. This was created yesterday and has the problem with div tags that WOSlinker identified above. I don't know the subst of which page is responsible for this. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 09:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- I've now updated Wikipedia:TWA/Background/3b and Wikipedia:TWA/Earth/1 which may help reduce this. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:57, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Template:Interlinear
I looked, and I now understand what you said about bolding words separately. What I don't get is why people set
|indent=3
--Eievie (talk) 15:41, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Because they want the template to be indented, and indenting it with colons is Bad Markup. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:54, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- That's just a temporary solution. The next version of the template will apply indentation by default, so there won't be any need for either
|indent=
or leading colons. – Uanfala (talk) 12:39, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Substing {{Templates notice}} in {{Uw-accessdate2}}
Hi! I just reverted your subst'ing of {{Templates notice}} on {{Uw-accessdate2}}, quoting the note about subst'ing. And then I noticed that you're the one who wrote that note. I'm guessing you just forgot to revert yourself on the Uw-accessdate2 template? --rchard2scout (talk) 08:42, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- Oh dear, sorry about that. I was pretty sure that I hadn't saved that edit attempt, because it didn't look right. The documentation on Templates notice was incorrect (and is still incorrect, needing the note I wrote at the top to fix it). Too many noincludes needed. Confusing. Thanks for fixing my error. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:51, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
template help for swwiki
Hi, I see you edited recently the template:NFT player, At swwiki we have a problem with this one. Could you possibly help? We have had [[1]] since 2011, back then imported by Rich Farmbrough.
Now it does not work any more (no idea since when). We do not have anybody in our community who gets along with the complicated templates. Appreciate if you can give it a look or refer me to someone. Kipala (talk) 11:41, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Kipala: I think that I have fixed it. See changes at sw:Kigezo:NFT player and the link at sw:Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi and similar articles. There are probably some that do not work. I did not add any error-checking. If there is a player that does not work, add
|id=
or add their NFT ID in Wikidata. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:08, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Broken WD calls
Anahawan was moved to this title today, and it looks like the connection to WD needs to be updated. Although there is some data in the infobox, the lead and EL section are certainly messed-up. MB 01:40, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Liz made the move, so might know more than I. I don't know why this place is considered "uniquely named", per Liz's edit summary, since Anahawan, Sibagat exists, as does a barangay of the same name in Bato, Leyte. In any event you are correct that the WD item linked to Anahawan is a dab page, and that the page for the municipality should be linked to WD item Q173608. I hesitate to try to fix that before knowing whether the move was a good idea. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:47, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Liz, still waiting for a comment. Should this move be undone? MB 15:50, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the talk page notice, Jonesey95, I get so many pings, I don't always check my notifications regularly.
- The Anahawan move was part of about a dozen similar moves proposed by HueMan1 and after checking the first couple and finding the requests reasonable, I did the remainder of the moves. The rationale for all of the moves was
MOS:PHIL guidelines have been reversed and now prefers the <cityname> only convention for uniquely-named places
. Maybe HueMan1 has something to say about these requests. - If these moves screwed things up, let me know what I can do to fix things or I can revert them. I'm sorry that there was collateral damage. Liz Read! Talk! 19:04, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- It looks like this one page, at least, did not meet the "unique" requirement. I think that Anahawan should be moved back to Anahawan, Southern Leyte, and the dab page formerly at Anahawan should be restored. If any of the other moves resulted in clobbering of dab pages, they should probably be reviewed, at a minimum, for errors. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:19, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- The general consensus regarding the notability of barangays is that not all of them are notable. Even if a barangay is notable (which isn't the case for the barangay mentioned above), entries for the municipality with the same name should be the primary topic of a page. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 01:09, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Font size increased for Post Town field in Infobox:UK place
Hi there. Was your edit to increase the font size of the Post Town field in the Infobox:UK place the result of wider discussion? Because in the template, a place's Post Town is displayed in caps, I think the 100% font size looks really ugly; it looked much better before. The guidelines you cite in your edit summary state that increased and decreased font sizes should be avoided in prose (i.e. the body of articles) but are permissible in a "carefully designed template". Granted, it goes on to say that decreased font size should be avoided in an Infobox where the font size is already smaller, but I don't think this is intended to mean where the relevant text is just one word (i.e. a Post Town). Please could you consider reverting the edit? --Songofachilles (talk) 18:47, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Where in the guideline and the relevant RFC is there a mention of a "one word" exception? The font size is already at 88%, so it can't get much smaller and remain accessible. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:41, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Songofachilles:. The smaller font size was only added today, without discussion. So I'm not sure that it really needs a wider discussion to remove it again. -- WOSlinker (talk) 21:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- @WOSlinker:. But the font size is now bigger, not smaller. And I wasn't proposing a wider discussion to remove it again, just asking the editor to consider reverting it and enquiring whether the edit in question was the result of discussion. I don't think it was a necessary edit, but happy to agree that the Guideline says what it says... -- Songofachilles (talk) 22:25, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- I have copied the version of the live template from 19 June into the sandbox so that it can be compared with the current live template using Template:Infobox UK place/testcases. Where are you seeing a font that is bigger in the live template than it is in the sandbox (the 19 June version)? If I have made a mistake, I will fix it. I believe that the undiscussed(?) font-size changes that violate that widely accepted MOS guideline were implemented in good faith by MSGJ. That editor presumably copied the entire sandbox to the live template, not realizing that changes other than the "historic county" modifications were present in the sandbox. As far as I can tell, I have rectified that situation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:50, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- All I know is that the Post Town field has appeared as small caps in the Infobox:UK place for at least the past year. I think it looked better than the current settings which is caps in line with the size of the rest of the Infobox text. But I understand that the edit is in line with the MOS guideline (unless there was some good reason for small caps at the time it was implemented, which can't have been yesterday) so no problem. Thanks --Songofachilles (talk) 20:58, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Feel free to find that version in the template's history, copy its code into the sandbox, verify it on the testcases page, and discuss it on the template's talk page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:54, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- I've found it. It was a change, Izno did on the 14th June. -- WOSlinker (talk) 23:06, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- I've updated the sandbox and you can see the difference in the testcases now. -- WOSlinker (talk) 07:27, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- WOSlinker Thank you very much for doing this. I will raise it on the template's talk page to see what people prefer and to see if we can find out why it was small caps originally (which I personally think looks better). User:Jonesey95 Sorry for the confusion. I understand now that you were re-implementing existing changes to the template, not making a new one. Thanks both :) --Songofachilles (talk) 08:03, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

GOCE waiting list
Hi @Jonesey95: Can we withdraw a request from GOCE waiting list and replace it by another? I currently have one request (Jimmy Carter 1976 presidential campaign) in waiting list, but I want to replace it by another request (Harry S. Truman 1948 presidential campaign), so that the new request too remains in the May section. Is it acceptable? Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:53, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

When you do, please be sure to put "copied from Degodia (Clan)" into your edit summary. Thanks! – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:43, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Wrong timestamp for Elo rating
Hi – the wrong timestamp is being shown for Mamikon Gharibyan's FIDE rating. The rating shown, 2464, is the current one for July 2021 (according to FIDE), but the timestamp says "March 2020". (The player's rating in March 2020 was 2433.) This seems to be related to the fact that the article was last edited in March 2020. If I "edit source" and "show preview" without making changes, the correct current timestamp is displayed. I'm writing to you because you recently made some changes to Template:Elo rating, in particular this one that removed the {{purge}} instruction, and I was wondering whether that may be related. (I don't know enough about this template myself to fix it.) Joriki (talk) 13:25, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- You are correct; it works properly, but differently from the way that I had hoped. I have asked at WP:VPT. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:23, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine Conflict...please fill out my survey?
Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Lorem ipsum
Trying to hail you at the lorem talk page. The "fix" may not be needed anymore. I think I may have caught every case causing the linter error, and removed it, using new template {{lorem ipsum span}} which works in inline context. So there may be nothing to fix, now. Check out latest messages there, and lmk. Template rev 1037154209 works for all test cases, I believe; and if there's no more linter errors, can we just declare victory and go home? Mathglot (talk) 23:49, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
Also, it would be great if Template:Lorem ipsum/testcases did not include test cases guaranteed to cause lint errors, viz:
''{{Lorem ipsum|2}}''
<small>{{Lorem ipsum|2}}</small>
—Anomalocaris (talk) 23:38, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- We're actively developing that template. Those test cases will be removed soon. They are there because the new template code was causing Linter errors that didn't exist before. I need to make sure that the new template doesn't cause Linter errors, or that we eliminate that sort of now-deprecated usage in the wild. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:43, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Adding citations to Fraser T Smith
I have a strong interest in singers, rappers and electronic music.
I am busy editing artists such as Mark Ronson, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Timbaland, Fred Again and Jimmy Napes.
I have turned my attention to Fraser T Smith but I cannot edit the article as it is protected.
I would like to add citations under Career.

Some information about Lumines
Thanks for your edits in Lumines: Puzzle Fusion. I addressed some of your concerns however I do have some information that I wanted to clarify
- I can understand the confusion with the gameplay for Lumines. Throughout the manual, the interviews, and reviews, the 2x2 group of blocks that make the shape of a Square are never referred to as "Squares". Initially in the article, the 2x2 grouped blocks that the player controls are known as "Blocks" and once they formed a 2x2 of the same color on the playing field, then they make a single shaped square and referred to as "Colored Squares". some reviewers simplified or shortened the term to just "Squares" so I attempted to use the verbiage given.
- The game received many ports as you can see and some of them were made concurrently with the earlier sequels, so that explains why they use some of the features of the sequels (but not being actual sequels themselves). The problem is that there is a section dedicated to the initial release/ports and another section for sequels/spinoffs. How do I address the features introduced in the sequels such as Lumines II and Lumines Live! earlier in the article if they are in their respected Sequels and Spin-off section below?
The rest, I hope I addressed in my current edits.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 03:26, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- I added some text to address the second problem. The article's prose should be good enough for FA now, unless I missed something. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:51, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
FAC Manganese, Minnesota
Hello, Jonesey95! I don't know if its appropriate to request a copy edit check during FAC review, but I have added some additional text to the article as result of the comments by the general reviewers and would appreciate your once-over. Best regards, DrGregMN (talk) 23:28, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- I looked at the diff since my last edit, and there wasn't much modification of the prose. I found and tidied a few minor things. Let me know if the FAC reviewers have specific issues. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:13, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello and thanks for your addressing the errant dashes on the Timeline of Francis Drake's circumnavigation. As the instigator of the errant dashes, I'd appreciate knowing what I did wrong and what you did to correct it so that I may not make this mistake in the future. Thank you for your attention to the article. Kind regards,Hu Nhu (talk) 21:02, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- See MOS:DASH. When you have a range, like "pp. 50–60", Wikipedia's Manual of Style prescribes the use of an unspaced en dash instead of a simple hyphen (which looks like "pp. 50-60"). See Wikipedia:How to make dashes for information on how to create a dash when you are editing a page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:33, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

- Sorry if I caused you any trouble. When you save a template with errors in it, it's like leaving tasty cookies out for gnomes. Please use Preview and the syntax highlighter gadget to help avoid saving pages with errors in them. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:55, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
infobox spacing
{{Template:Antiproton Decelerator}}
is used in about ten articles. Articles that use it at the top seem to have a blank line. See ACE experiment for example. I don't what is causing this white space. I'm sure you will find it quickly. Thanks. MB 04:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Feature requests/protocol suggestions
@Jonesey95 and WOSlinker: I decided to post here instead of y'alls talks to inform and/or get input from the delinting community.
To me, perhaps I'm wrong, lint is something that can be removed innocuously, without changing the rendered page, unless something is broken to begin with. However, delinting these colon-indents changes the page output, and nothing was "broken" prior, just undesired. So I would suggest the following improvements:
- replacing page-changing-lint with the appropriate syntax, if possible,
- inform the lint-producing editor more carefully/obviously of the alternatives (it's not obvious to me which error @ Special:LintErrors I've created),
- since the WP:Linter software already knows which rules are broken, in order to categorize them, it should be relatively easy to list them in the edit summary.
Re #1: how do I properly indent these templates? ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 16:57, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. I often fix Linter errors by replacing invalid code with valid code, or by closing unclosed tags, but using colons for indenting has been discouraged for a long time, and it is not clear to me what the colons are intended to achieve. See MOS:INDENT for guidance, and MOS:INDENTGAP for recommended alternatives. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:05, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
The ability to edit Fraser T Smith
I placed an Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on Fraser T Smith's Talk page on 12 August 2021. There has been no response to this request. I have a strong interest in the song-writing writing genre and have edited artists such as Mark Ronson, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Timbaland, Fred Again and others. I am unable to edit Fraser T Smith as his article is currently protected and has been protected since July 2020. I am not an extended confirmed user nor an administrator but I believe I can contribute to the betterment of the article much like I have done with the artists I have listed above. Please give me edit rights. You can be assured that my contributions will only be for the benefit of Wikipedia. Thank you FuBiuC (talk) 04:33, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
