Deleted topic
Could you give me a more detail explanation of why you deleted this topic "Outlook templates (.oft file) have different behaviors on browsers" (archive, do not add new topics.) . .
Thanks. Noindicaotro (talk) 15:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- As it shows in the sidebar of that page, "This page is an archive. Do not add new topics here. Please ask new questions at Project:Support desk instead." --Clump (talk) 17:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Noindicaotro (talk) 07:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Deleted redirect
Hi Clump :) Can I ask why you deleted this redirect in my userspace? I’m not sure if mediawikiwiki has different norms in this regard than other wikis I’ve contributed to (apologies if so); but, in general, I like keeping redirects as a result of moves within my userspace.

- Hi. Keeping the redirect doesn't seem useful in any way---no one else will use it, nothing links to it, and you yourself renamed/moved it, so why would there be any point to keeping it? --Clump (talk) 15:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- I guess my thoughts are, what’s the point in deleting it? Redirects are cheap, and I like having it left behind in my userspace — if nothing else, as a record of a title within my userspace that used to hold a page. Apologies if I’ve worded this badly, but - to be completely honest - I’m having trouble seeing what the benefit of deleting it was: I can’t see that its deletion has solved any problems, and (in this case) it resulted in me being confused and starting this thread on your talk page asking about it.

- It is the essence of an "unneeded redirect" for the reasons I mentioned above. --Clump (talk) 17:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Reverts
Is there a specific reason that you undid adding of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/reviewer:rahkooy@gmail.com to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Reviewers and cleaning up old reviewers. If I messed up the syntax please let me know. Physikerwelt (talk) 16:06, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Was that IP edit you? There's no obvious canonical truth for that page, but in general, it's hard to trust a random IP edit made without even an explanatory comment, especially when the edit removes or changes things for other users. --Clump (talk) 16:13, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Alright, I was not logged in. I would just w:Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith if the edit makes sense in general. Thank you. Physikerwelt (talk) 16:44, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Someone adding themselves to that page seems relatively benign. Someone removing two others with no explanation seems less so---an edit summary would've been helpful to avoid the confusion. --Clump (talk) 17:38, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- I really appreciate that you help to maintain the project. I will write a commit message in the future and double check that I'm logged in and I understand that is very very hard to assume good faith for people that are not logged in and don't write useful commit messages, but maybe it's a good mental workout to try anyhow.

My work
I can also stop my work entirely if pointless reverts continue to be made or at least no reasons are given Justman10000 (talk) 16:25, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Please stop with the hyperbole. Your edit was manifestly incorrect. --Clump (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
Deleted translation
Hello,Clump.Thanks for your contribution in Mediawiki. I want to know why you think of this page uses mechanical translation. If it is because I did not follow the English version of the writing, then my understanding is that it can better explain this script to Chinese readers. And this is a precedent for reference.Thanks.--人间百态 (talk) 13:10, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello 人间百态. I didn't necessarily think it was mechanical, just incorrect/low quality in the sense that your translation omitted the translation variables and template in the original source. --Clump (talk) 13:20, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- OK,thanks for your reply. 人间百态 (talk) 13:31, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Category
Please give me at least ONE minute to fill the newly created category before you delete it. Thank you! Bináristalk 19:47, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- Moot now I assume, given that the 2nd version you made requested deletion. --Clump (talk) 19:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
Deletion of translation page
Hello, can you explain why you deleted some of the translation pages I had created: Translations:Project:Autoconfirmed users/4/hi, Translations:Project:Autoconfirmed users/1/hi and Translations:Project:Autoconfirmed users/3/hi as "Not a translation"? Svartava (talk) 03:55, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Because a vandal edited the unit and Clump failed to notice there was a prior version to revert to. I've undeleted the last two - the first one wasn't actually created by you. * Pppery * it has begun 06:19, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Pppery: Thanks for the undeletion and clarification! Svartava (talk) 06:24, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
