Help:CirrusSearch
In some way I don't understand, your edit of 21:03, 27 September 2015 seems to have broken the link to the Help talk:CirrusSearch page (under the Frequently asked questions header). Could you take a look at it please? Colonies Chris (talk) 14:04, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't understand edits such as . What software do you use, that breaks newlines and everything? Nemo 18:07, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Also, removing all translation unit markers is not acceptable, hence I restored the preceding version. Your work on the help page is appreciated but please conduct it on a separate sandbox without disrupting the main help page, and merge your text back into the correct places once ready.

 * Thank you for stating your appreciation towards me personally. I've answered on the relevant talk page. Cpiral (talk) 00:37, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, I can help preparing your version for translation. For this I need:
 * your version to live on a separate, editable draft page;
 * you to perform some basic cleanup, for instance of the weird newlines;
 * you, someone or (as very last resort and probably not in the next couple months) me to restore the translation unit markers for the paragraphs which survived from the older version;
 * ideally, for the remaining paragraphs, some way to compare the text of the old and new ones (diff is impossible unless paragraphs are in the same order).
 * Nemo 23:21, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * An external diff utility could diff paragraphs as files.
 * I think I now understand the "Why?"s about this: a very high value must be placed on already-translated units, therefore, although it may have been a real dilemma at first, now MediaWiki must choose i18n over re-publishing major content-revisions. Thanks.
 * As of now your original route seems best. So I'll cleanup the translated version (best I can). Then I'm going to move untranslated CirrusSearch content to the Wikipedia draft of CirrusSearch. Lastly, maybe we'll work on translating the reverted content, now at User:Cpiral/CirrusSearch. Cpiral (talk) 07:30, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok. I've watchlisted your draft, I'll probably look into it at some point. Nemo 07:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Search-talk from Wikipedia
From W: User talk:Cpiral, subject: Proposed changes to searching: query-final question marks

Hi Cpiral. Since you've put a lot into maintaining the help:search page I thought you might want to weigh in on the discussion about how to deal with question marks (?). So many people use them to ask questions on various Wikipedias, and they get weird or no results because they don't know it's a wildcard. If you have thoughts on the matter, please join the discussion on the Phab ticket. Thanks. TJones (WMF) (talk) 14:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring
Please stop edit warring. You've reverted this edit twice. With no explanation. This is an edit that User:CKoerner (WMF) thanked me for making. I've tried discussing it with you in multiple forums. STOP. --Elvey (talk) 00:44, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
