User talk:This, that and the other

Hello.

A barnstar for you!

 * Aw, thanks! :) Before the config files were in Git, I would come across easy site request bugs that had been sitting there for months with no action, and feel really sorry for the communities whose requests were being ignored.
 * And of course you've been doing a few too, so it's a team effort :) This, that and the other (talk) 09:16, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Sie erhalten einen Orden!

 * Thanks! In many cases the $wg setting pages were filled with outdated or just plain wrong information, and some settings even lacked documentation entirely. So I thought it would be a useful thing for MediaWiki end users. I'm glad you appreciate it. This, that and the other (talk) 22:18, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You are welcome. I utterly agree with you and this is why I very much appreciate you work. I am only doing this occasionally in case a manual is really messed up. :| I even changed the skin to be able to award the barnstar. Forgot about changing the user language though. However, it took my some "trouble" to award so you can imagine it's value. Cheers and keep on "fighting"! :) --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 09:19, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Starting conversion of LiquidThreads to Flow at mediawiki.org
Hello. I'm sending this to you, because you've been one of the top 50 users of LQT on mediawiki.org over the last 360 days, and I wanted to make sure that you'd seen the announcement at Starting conversion of LiquidThreads to Flow at mediawiki.org. There are links in the topic-summary at the top, for other discussions (wikitech-l and Project:Current_issues), and a link to the planned process and timeline (scheduled to begin April 6, with smaller conversions at first). Please do test Flow out at Talk:Sandbox if you haven't tried it recently, and give any feedback/suggestions/requests at that main discussion location. Much thanks, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 00:07, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks Florian! I tend to focus on relatively unloved areas, like import, interwiki linking, and change tagging, which fly under the radar of most people. So I don't expect any thanks for my work, but when it does come I really appreciate it. I should also say that your work on MediaWiki hasn't gone unnoticed, so let me take the opportunity to thank you for your contributions to the project.

MediaWiki checkout
See. By the way, that full MediaWiki checkout, without any garbage collecting, is only some 7 GB. If one doesn't have bandwidth or CPU problems, it's not that hard to keep such a checkout locally. Nemo 14:58, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Phabricator search
Thanks for adding T75854 to T135327! Probably the single biggest regression from bugzilla. Nemo 13:10, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Nemo_bis: Yes, I don't hold out much hope of it getting looked at though, given the tight timeframe and lack of clarity on what actually needs to be done. At the very least, it's now on a wishlist that might get revisited some time in the future when the WMF is prepared to do a bit more Phunding. This, that and the other (talk) 13:14, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Let's hope so, although I'd rather hope the #Phabricator and #Phabricator-Upstream structural triaging to be made functional. We'll see. Nemo 13:52, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Multilingual wikis translation
Hello, per T69223 it seems that your comment was interpreted as an opposition to having T37489 fixed on Meta-Wiki, WMBE wiki and the other wikis using the Translate extension. It would be nice to clarify that you have no objections to using Special:PageLanguage to satisfy our translators' longstanding desire, since the feature works for them. Nemo 08:27, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, yes, I'm not sure what is going on there, to be honest. I'll try to add a comment that clarifies my position. This, that and the other (talk) 08:56, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Re: T130901
Oh wow, I finally see it. I must've read those two strings ten times and not caught "bog" instead of "bot". Perhaps related to word shapes and the line wrapping, who knows. Phew. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:51, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
