 Dear, Welcome to MediaWiki.org !

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site a beneficial documentation of the MediaWiki software. Thanks, and regards, Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 18:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Global Rollback for me?
Since you have that, do you think I may get it too?--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:09, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Judging by Special:CentralAuth/Jasper Deng, I don't think you have enough experience with cross-wiki anti-vandalism. Maybe you could join the SWMT and watch . πr2 (t • c) 18:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm totally new to IRC. Should I get a nick?--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Registering a nick on IRC is recommended (see these instructions) and you may also wish to request an IRC cloak to prevent people from seeing your IP address. :) Good luck! Mathonius (talk) 02:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * OK... so, when monitoring small wikis, how hard is monitoring wikis in foreign languages? The only thing I have to show on that is en and fr-2.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:43, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As a ground rule, I only revert edits if I'm completely sure it's vandalism or spam. I don't think patrolling small wikis (or big wikis in foreign languages) is very difficult. Some types of vandalism are easy to identify, see for example: [//pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sin%C3%B4nimo&diff=prev&oldid=29861174 on pt.wikipedia], [//nn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Fox_and_the_Hound&curid=153621&diff=1999374&oldid=1999359 on nn.wikipedia] and [//es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guerra_de_la_Triple_Alianza&diff=prev&oldid=55990700 on es.wikipedia]. Besides that, there are always other users in, , and  who can help you if you're unsure. Mathonius (talk) 03:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Global Abuse Filter and beta labs
Hi,

The current policy on enabling extensions in beta labs is that such extensions must have a scheduled deployment date to a production wiki. That list is here: http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Software_deployments

One suggestion might be to create a labs instance of your own for experimenting with the Global Abuse Filter. Instructions to do that are at https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Another suggestion might be to contact our Editor Engagement project team. The place to start would be http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editor_Engagement

Translations on Foundation
Hi! I wanted to give you an update about the translations question. Sadly, I don't have an answer yet because our group meeting in which it was scheduled was cancelled. This means the topic was postponed, but I will bring it up early next week for sure. Sorry about that! heather walls (talk) 22:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks for helping. <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 22:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!
Much thanks for your help today, dealing with the Flow spam. Sorry it wasn't easier to deal with, but it did help re-prioritize this week's dev work! Best wishes, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 08:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Flow
Well, it's not so bad, I guess. I'll stop bombarding you with questions now. G'night. ~ DanielTom (talk) 00:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm certainly not the biggest fan of Flow, but I don't think it's horrible. It might help new users, which is what will really count. <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 00:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Note to person with whom I chatted on IRC
Hello, I have made some progress. <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 05:07, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

dash/edit summaries
When you edit (edit source), in the edit summary, if you click the (quick access) dash symbol, it appears in the edit summary (meaning, it continues to write in the edit summary section). This happens here, and on Wikiquote, and I guess on most other wikis as well. But on Portuguese Wikipedia this doesn't happen—if you click the dash symbol, even while typing in the edit summary, the dash appears in the article section. Do you see the problem? ~ DanielTom (talk) 13:46, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Compare MediaWiki:Edittools to pt:MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert.js. The English Wikipedia's version of this gadget (w:MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert.js) handles this correctly. Do you need me to investigate more? I think I have a good idea of what is causing the problem actually... <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 15:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
