This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries."This user" is neither dead nor has rage quit the `pedia, but is in the "MAN this place is dysfunctional!" phase of frustration with the project and may not do much on here until the nausea subsides. Pings and messages left on the talk page will be noticed and responded to eventually.
@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: It never ends… It's somewhat ironic that at the same time that was going on we got the latest in the endless string of people arguing about his age.But thanks for thinking of me. I do miss the nice people here and the interesting discussions (and the less said about the bits I don't miss the better for my blood pressure). I keep meaning to dive back in to Malone to see if I can't get that a little closer to "finished", but IRL mostly only permits me "ADHD time" for wiki work: stuff I can complete in one short burst, and very rarely anything that requires sustained attention. I'll get to it eventually, I'm sure.In any case, `preciate the note. And do feel free to ping me for any such discussions in the Shakespeare area. Xover (talk) 06:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: My, aren't you being grumpy this morning? I thought I was the grumpy old man ranting about… stuff…, chasing the interlopers off my lawn, cane in had, and just generally being crotchety. Is there more to it than just some misguided contributor editing with a bit more boldness than their skills actually merit? Xover (talk) 08:17, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That said, thanks for commenting (and the cheerful (?) mega-revert). As I recall it, I first noticed your editing when you wrote a similar-ish comment to an editor who was here to write about his own SAQ-theory (Lewkonorian..?). I was greatly impressed, so I started to ask you questions. Didn't get less impressed. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Be impressed if I ever manage to express myself concisely. The usual response is to complain of my walls of text. :)Thank you for the compliment though. It warms the soul on those days when the world is recalcitrant, all uphill, and full of sharp edges. Xover (talk) 08:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you've already seen this:[2]. I started at p141 and read a few pages. Wow. The description of the closing of the play, I'm not sure if I'm sad or grateful I didn't see it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here. The Arbs are entirely resistant to the idea that the reason there has been no need of the DS is because the area is under discretionary sanctions. An ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure I really don't like the exchange rate on this one, but I suppose them lads'd be out of a job if there wasn't a regular influx of new cases… Xover (talk) 15:48, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
"Gareth Roberts is a TV scriptwriter and novelist who has worked on Doctor Who and Coronation Street." And he debunks the nonsense with as much aplomb (and more verve) as Stanley Wells. Yes, very interesting read. Xover (talk) 15:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HouseBlaster: Well, my half-finished, abandoned, and undocumented templates are obviously special snowflakes that should be placed under glass, on a pedestal, in a museum where the adoring masses can admire and meditate on their beauty and perfection at a safe distance. But since the project seems inexplicably short on the special expensive glass required for such display it is probably best to delete to keep the unwashed mitts of the filthy peons off them. :){{spfref}} was created at the same time for a paired purpose and the deletion rationale for {{spf}} applies equally to {{spfref}}, so I obviously support deleting it too. Feel free to drop a {{G7}} on it (because I'm too lazy to do it myself). Xover (talk) 07:42, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Cite Grove 2001 has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
