Hello! I see that you uploaded File:Update screenshot for activating MOSNUM dates.png to Wikipedia. However, the GFDL has been phased out for new uploads on enwiki. To clarify the license of the image, would you be able to add {{Wikipedia-screenshot}} to the file description page? Thanks! HouseBlastertalk 21:20, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the script! Are changes like [[1979 Canadian Open|1979]] to 1979, and [[1974 Canadian Open|1974]] to 1974, from Special:Diff/1112468928 an intended effect of the script?

Hi Ohconfucius, it doesn't fit grammatically in a lot of cases: [1] Tony (talk) 04:59, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
The file File:Snoopy mural.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No Freedom of panorama in France. Underlying artwork would be still copyrighted
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Salavat (talk) 07:32, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I've come across the use of the script User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM_dates
I'd appreciate a pointer as to where I can ask for help in using the script bearing in mind that I've no idea how to use scripts to edit Wikipedia - I have had a look at the MOSNUM_dates page and just run into a brick wall (there are too many terms used of which I have negligible or less understanding).
In particular, I'd like to learn how to use the script to force the use of yyyy-mm-dd in access and archive dates in article citations (in line with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Consistency).
(I did read that "Users are invited to manually add |cs1-dates=
parameter to {{Use dmy dates}} or {{Use mdy dates}} causing applicable dates to be rendered in 2024-12-24 YMD format" but I can't work out what that means.)
Thank you.

Hi Ohconfucius! This edit to Vicenza (made by Kj cheetham) broke the comment in the reference, so I have reverted it. Could you please tweak the script to avoid this in the future? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 19:13, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Zhang hongbao.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:34, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ohconfucius. I disclosed a conflict of interest and proposed an infobox for the Lenovo PCCW Solutions sub-section of the PCCW page. You can see my requests here.

Hi! I've been trying to get rid of the flag overload in this page, and thought the FLAG –> COUNTRY option would do that for me. But it doesn't – am I doing it wrong, or is there a glitch with the script? Or is the page perhaps too large? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:33, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi -- would you be willing to disable the part of your general formatting script that turns two spaces between sentences into a single space? I've had to revert this several times on various articles when other editors have edited articles I'm the primary editor for, and then re-add the other useful parts of the edit. It's a cosmetic edit that has no effect on the displayed article, and it's something that is always intentional on the part of the editor who wrote the article -- who is usually the person who's going to go on and do further work on it. I know this has come up before, and I don't know if you have a reason for not removing this functionality, or just haven't got around to it, but I would really appreciate it if you could cut this. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:12, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

(continued from User Talk:GiantSnowman) I'll see if I can suggest something but as I said my plate is full for the next couple of weeks. If we just pay attention to Short Description I think that would handle the majority of the cases; templates in the {{For}} class may be harder. David Brooks (talk) 14:06, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Heads-up: in a few hours I'll upload an update to my version (I didn't want to spring it without warning). It will try to put any new Use... template towards the end of the head templates, where it belongs; its analysis is pragmatic without semantic analysis (that's a job for AWB) but seems mostly right. As a bonus, it will move Short Description to the top if possible. There is a potential edge case where it might break syntax, but I've never seen it in practice. There is a possibility of a full-line comment put in the wrong place, which I could probably fix. Otherwise, once I upload it, Ohconfucius and GiantSnowman, and anyone else who's listening, please let me know of any problems. David Brooks (talk) 15:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
I uploaded a new version with logic to handle a Multiple Issues block. I can think of three unusual cases where it will still put the Use... template in the wrong place, and plan to fix one that I came across in testing random articles. @GiantSnowman: Enjoy.

Dear Ohconfucius, you contributed to the article Elizabeth, Lady Thurles. I wondered whether the subject is notable and opened an discussion in that respect.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Page name until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hi: I don't know if you saw above, but I am comfortable with User:DavidBrooks/script/MOSNUM dates.js if you want to copy it. Some users, especially GiantSnowman, have been checking it out.
I also did a simpler change to User:DavidBrooks/script/EngvarB.js, just to keep Short Description on the top using the same technique as my first version of the MOSNUM script. It seems fine. David Brooks (talk) 22:08, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:HK 60 anniv stamps.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
I've noticed that the dashes.js script does not work when syntax highlighting is enabled. This appears to be because a single textarea element is not used in the editor when syntax highlighting is enabled. The script assumes that there is a single textarea (wpTextbox1).
What I did to fix this is to disable syntax highlighting before editing the source, and then re-enable syntax highlighting afterwards. (I haven't tried it with dashes.js, but it does work on a test script I made. Also I'm not sure mw-editbutton-code-mirror is the correct id to use, but you get the point).
const highlightButton = $("#mw-editbutton-codemirror").find("a");
const highlight = highlightButton.attr('aria-pressed');
if (highlight === "true") {
// Disable syntax highlighting
highlightButton[0].click();
}
...
if (highlight=== "true") {
// Re-enable syntax highlighting
highlightButton[0].click();
}

Hello, @Ohconfucius:! I see you've been active again and fixing the bugs reported here. Would you be able to look at the bugs reported here as well? Some are pretty old. Thank you for sharing and maintaining these scripts; I've found them immensely useful! — voidxor 00:46, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Ohconfucius, I recently notes some edits using your script that have been removing spaces before pipes in CS1 templates. For example, this diff made (among others) the following change:
− | cite | + | cite journal|last1=Clement X|first1=Pope|title=Bull |
Having spaces before pipes is the recommendation from {{Cite web}}, and I find that by removing the spaces, we often end up with a long set of parameters with no spaces that causes the line to bunch up in the source editor (especially if a url parameter is near other one-word parameters). Could this be revisited/updated? I don't necessarily consider this a "bug" but happy to submit it to bug reports if you'd prefer. Thanks, Consigned (talk) 07:52, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi, it is regarding some issues with the EngvarB.js script. What I've noticed is that amongst (xyx) gets rendered as among(xyx) and whilst (xyx) as while(xyx), that is no spaces. And judgement becomes ejudgs. Please have a look. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:02, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, the subject line basically says it all here; these links are commonly generated by the Visual Editor. For example, in this edit, the script correctly deleted a standard link to "journalist" but in my subsequent edit, I had to delete one manually that was in the form [[Journalist|journalists]].

Hello Ohconfucius, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Dave Smalley (bassist), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dave Smalley (bassist).
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Wasianpower}}
. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
