Happy New Year! | ||
Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year, from the horse and bishop person. May the year ahead be productive and distraction-free and may Janus light your way. Ealdgyth ( talk) 14:37, 31 December 2023 (UTC) |
In the early days of web commerce, Silicon Valley types told stories about the problem of a skunk in the doorway: If a skunk were standing in the doorway of a brick-and-mortar store, the store employees would notice that nobody was coming inside and would investigate why people were on the sidewalk but not coming in the door. Perhaps some supportive would-be customer would find a way to let you know that there was a problem, and if anyone managed to get past the skunk, it was likely to be mentioned in a small-talk kind of way. But in e-commerce, if there was a big, obvious, solvable problem, you might not find out about it.
I am here to ask a few talk page stalkers to please take a look at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/When there is no consensus either way and tell me if there's a skunk in the doorway. It's been listed as an RFC for two and a half days now, with zero responses. Yapperbot is no longer posting Wikipedia:Feedback request service messages, but I'm not sure that's a sufficient explanation for it going completely unnoticed. I can (and plan to) post the usual sorts of announcements, but I'd appreciate it if some folks would take a look and tell me if I've made it too complicated or irritating first.

FWIW I think the fact that five tildes creates a name-less signature is a bug not a feature.I've used five tildes when noting when I've edited a talk page message. However, if this bug/feature were to disappear tomorrow, I wouldn't miss it much. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 01:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey Iri, I see you made a stealth edit in December, so you might still be skulking around. I'm thinking of running this one at TFA sometime in April; give me a shout if you've got a better idea. I see above that you've been busy lately; hope you're busy and happy. - Dank ( push to talk) 03:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, all, today I am looking at Wikipedia:Rollback. guideline. In particular, I'm looking at this language:
I am curious about how we came to have a software-specific set of rules, namely: that if I want to revert an unwanted non-vandalism edit without an explanatory edit summary:
In fact, if you misuse Twinkle rollback, you can lose access to MediaWiki rollback, but not, apparently, to the tool you were actually misusing.
Most of our rules are tool-agnostic, and I wonder whether this one is also meant to be tool-agnostic. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 16:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
