Central auth talk page
Hi on centralauth talk page you undid my edit I made it because LiquidThread is easer to do and shows more recents posts at the top. I would like to undo the edit I have created an archive for that page so it is saved on another page. 90.192.240.127 14:58, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Please provide feedback on suggested improvements to the Code of Conduct
Thanks to everyone who’s helped work on the Code of Conduct so far.

People have brought up issues they feel were missed when working on "Unacceptable behavior" and "Report a problem". Consultants have also suggested changes in these same sections.

These are important sections, so please take a look at the proposed changes. I apologize that this feedback arrived later than planned, but I think this will create a better document.

If you prefer to give your opinion privately, feedback via e-mail is welcome at conduct-discussion@undefinedwikimedia.org.

frame functions in Lua
Despite your attempts to explain while reverting my "clarify" tags, I still do not quite understand what all these  functions do or what they would be used for, and would really appreciate some more explanation on the page, perhaps by means of examples. I am trying to figure out how to create an array from the parameters supplied to the  thingy, and I cannot figure out which of the functions on the page would do this.

 * The frame object passed into the invoked function (which is also typically the one available via ) contains the parameters passed to the   as the   subtable. You should be able to create your array from that. Anomie (talk) 12:07, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I finally realized the problem was that I was not distinguishing between the first frame (if that's the correct term) and the parent frame. I think I had used  when I should have used   or  . I kind of wish there were a clearer explanation on the Lua page or somewhere else, with an example. Erutuon (talk) 01:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

rcexcludeuser
Hi! The fact that rcexcludeuser only accepts one name, is that for performance reasons? It would be nice for anti-vandalism purposes if several users – or perhaps a whole user group – could be excluded. Nirmos (talk) 16:41, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe, or it might have just been intended to implement "hide my edits". Anomie (talk) 22:43, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok. Is there someone else I should ask who knows more closely, or should I file a Phabricator task directly? Nirmos (talk) 23:35, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Msupload
Hello! Are you https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Anomie/ ?

I see you worked on Extension:MsUpload I loved loved loved Extension:MsUpload. It is the best extension ever made. Now it is a terrible worthless aberration that has so many major bugs in it to make it worthless.

Whoever redesigned this extension should be reprimanded.


 * 1) The extension no longer works at all for 1.27.
 * 2) It no longer works without WikiEditor
 * 3) If you have mediawiki 1.25 or before, the extension no longer works.

I hope these issues can be fixed. it is a worthless extension now.

I upgraded from mediawiki 1.19 just to use this extension, unbeknownst to me, it is now a steaming pile of dog shit. :-( Moscowamerican (talk) 14:47, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The only thing I've ever done to that extension is update some of its API modules for changes in MediaWiki core. I don't know anything about how it might have worked in the ancient 1.19 version nor how it might have changed since. You might try using the REL_1.27 branch with MediaWiki 1.27; if that too doesn't work, then you can file bug reports in Phabricator, although if you do so I recommend sticking to objective descriptions of the actual problems rather than "it is now a steaming pile of dog shit".
