Hey there. Looks like you know how to make redirects now. Congrats! I noticed you've been doing some mass category depopulation, so I wanted to refer you to this tool which will make your life a LOT easier from the category pages: User:קיפודנחש/cat-a-lot. From one screen you can remove categories and customize the edit summary. Try HotCat as well in Preferences>Gadgets>HotCat. It makes adding cats to individual pages easier. It would speed up depopulating a bit, but Cat-a-Lot would definitely be the better tool for mass depopulating or moving. Happy editing! -2pou (talk) 16:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for your contribution to the page. I just wanted to make you aware that the plot summaries have recently been reduced down to 500 words per season per

Hi, Painting17. Regarding your inquiry in this edit summary, what you did works just fine. But to do it all at once, you would need to enclose the requested redirects in brackets [[]] and separate them however you want (comma, slash, hyphen, space, etc. All should work.). For the linked example it would be this:

{{subst:^|<!-- Do not change or remove this line -->}}{{subst:Request redirect
|1=<!-- Enter the title of the new redirect you would like created below this line -->
[[White Vision (Marvel Cinematic Universe)]] / [[White Vision (MCU)]]

|2=<!-- Enter the name of the existing page that you want the redirect to point to below this line -->
Vision (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

|3=<!-- Enter the reason for the new redirect (e.g. alternative name, common misspelling, etc.) below this line -->
Alternate version (the new, white Vision that appears in WandaVision). He is commonly referred to as "White Vision". He was also called "White Vision" by [[Jac Schaeffer]].

|4=<!-- Unless it is obvious, please enter a reliable source which supports your reason below this line -->

<!-- Do not change or remove this line -->}}

Make sense? If you don't enclose in brackets, the script will do it for you, but only for a single request. If you use brackets, it will just use your text. You know how to create these on your own, though; you just made two. Are there other questions making you hesitant on creating these ones in particular? -2pou (talk) 00:53, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Actually I had already tagged it for speedy deletion but probably you were still looking at the older revision of the article when you moved it. Anyway, thanks for helping to get this out of mainspace! :) – NJD-DE (talk) 00:48, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Slaves Today: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 04:23, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 21, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

I should add that not only are they useful for getting vandals to stop their behaviour, but they are also useful for administrators when it comes to blocking editors, as they are able to see how many times they have been previously warned. TylerBurden (talk) 01:59, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have listed this for 9 July's TFA. I can't see that you have edited the article recently, so can I ask a couple of questions. Have you consulted the main editor(s)? Have you checked that this 2009 article is still up to current FA standards? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:08, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
