Thanks
Hi Magioladitis, Thanks for this. I couldn't figure out what the blizzard is happening there. Even after removing wiki code and replacing with inverted commas, it did not come right. Thanks for fixing. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 21:26, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- Anytime. -- Magioladitis (talk) 04:27, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
Yobot adding "nbsp" syntax to distance measurements
Hi, I hope I'm not missing a FAQ or something that covered this already, but I wanted to ask if having the bot add before "km" as in this edit here is intentional. I believe that just using a space e.g. 20 km instead of 20 km would be more human-friendly and accomplish the same thing, but I wanted to check and see if there was a need for it. Thanks, and I appreciate the bot cleaning up after my syntax :) -- Joren (talk) 01:38, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- <talk page stalker> Joren, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers it is long to read. In brief, if you are casually editing focus on the content more than on this type of formatting. That MOS page will give you a lot more details if you want to read up on it (basically it helps keep the number and unit symbol together in some instances where they will line wrap to different lines). Happy editing, — xaosflux Talk 02:49, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Need to also rename the template/translcuded page? Matthew Ferguson (talk) 17:09, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Matthew Ferguson I think I fixed all. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:56, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
I did a mistake
After logging out and logging in again. I ve been editing using my bot account instead of my normal account since 16:17, 2 December 2015 till 17:45, 2 December 2015. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:48, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
Talk:Mayabazar
You recently edited this page. The peer review link is now missing. Why is the FAC link at the bottom? The link you cited says open GA reviews should be at the top, but does not mention FA reviews. I would think it would be similar. BollyJeff | talk 15:29, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- Bollyjeff is this OK now? Feel free to rearrange it in the way you think it's the correct one and I'll check whether the WP:TPL needs update. Thanks! -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:43, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- I was able to put it into the article milestones section, hopefully correctly. BollyJeff | talk 18:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Mass cosmetic changes
I see you have now resumed your mass cosmetic changes that was the cause of the recent block on your account. Has anything been learned from that episode? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:03, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- Could you show your proof when you make accusations. Where has Magioladitis been doing "mass" cosmetic changes via AWB or bot? I see him doing changes manually at a rate of 2 a minute, but there is no rule against that. Bgwhite (talk) 21:52, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Bgwhite: That rule is WP:MEATBOT. -- intgr [talk] 08:13, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- intgr Magioladitis is NOT doing bot like editing. He is NOT sacrificing quantity or speed over quality. He is doing an edit a minute on average, two at most. MEATBOT doesn't say cosmetic. This doesn't fit MEATBOT. I do more edits per minute when I do CheckWiki fixes. Ser Amantio di Nicolao does upwards of 50 edits a minute. You are now accusing every gnome of being a MEATBOT. You may not like what he is doing, but accusing somebody of being too fast at making an edit a minute is absurd. This is entering hounding territory. Bgwhite (talk) 08:28, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Bgwhite: Prove that these edits are manual and not AWB just being used very slowly. And that's the point of WP:MEATBOT: you can't. But it 100% matches the pattern of edits that Magioladitis was banned for, it's not crazy to assume that he's doing automated edits again.
- "You are now accusing every gnome of being a MEATBOT." — no, I'm not. I'm accusing just Magioladitis and he has a history of ignoring community input and being dishonest. -- intgr [talk] 08:43, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- intgr You accused him of being a meatbot by editing too fast. Therefore, you ARE accusing all gnomes. You have offended me by your stupid accusations that I'm a meatbot. That may not have been your intention, but it was the result.
- If AWB was being used, it would have "AWB" at the end of the edit summary. Egads, ask before making accusations. Also, I could manually run faster on those talk page.
- How in the hell is he breaking meatbot, yet gnomes aren't? You can't accuse him of doing something, but for everybody else it is ok.
- Having a history of ignoring you and MSGJ, and you accusing him of being dishonest (your opinion) does not affect how meatbot is read.
- Where in tarnation does it say somebody making any valid edit at a rate of one per minute is too fast?
- At this point, you are just fixated on Magioladitis and are out for blood. Your attitude at the BRFA where you say multiple times that Magioladitis has been banned/blocked and other comments shows bad blood and fixation, especially giving the wrong reason for being blocked. If you want to bring up valid points, that's fine. But stop with the being blocked, dishonesty and anything else not connected to this discussion. Bgwhite (talk) 09:18, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

- One thing that is clear from all these arguments is that communication between me and Magioladitis simply isn't working. I tried many times to make myself understood and I failed. Despite everything, I believe Magioladitis is editing in good faith and I don't think the solution is to block him. I'll unwatch this page and the BRFA if you let me explain myself for the last time:
- "If AWB was being used, it would have "AWB" at the end of the edit summary" Usually yes, but it's possible to change the software to remove that. Perhaps I'm too paranoid.
- "Therefore, you ARE accusing all gnomes" Don't put your words in someone else's mouth.
- "At this point, you are just fixated on Magioladitis and are out for blood. Your attitude at the BRFA where you say multiple times that Magioladitis has been banned/blocked and other comments shows bad blood and fixation"
- This is not correct. I wanted to make sure that everything is documented and done correctly this time around at the BRFA. I mentioned the block because I wanted him to document the changes that his bot makes in the BRFA, which happened to be the same changes he was blocked for. The second time around, I mentioned the block as evidence that his edits do in fact annoy people.
- -- intgr [talk] 10:15, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- intgr
- it's possible to change the software... Yes it is and I've seen it. However, as I pointed out above, I could do the same changes faster by manual editing via a web browser.
- Don't put your words in someone else's mouth. Again, you accused Magioladitis of going to fast. How in the world does one not infer that I and other gnomes, who are going faster, would not be accused of meatpuppetry? You can't use one standard for one person and another standard for others where MEATPUPPET is concerned
- I mentioned the block as evidence that his edits do in fact annoy people. No. You were annoyed at your watchlist being filled up. MSGJ was annoyed that cosmetic changes were being made via automated tools... This is was got him blocked. If he was doing the 1-2 a minute via a browser, MSGJ wouldn't have blocked.

Well, proof that I do everything manually.
Removed old warnings and auto assesements: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and much more. And I remember them because I do them manually.
Moreover, I discovered non standardised archive names and renaming helped talk header to work right: [6]
I also merged old afd tags: [7].
I removed unneccessary defaultsort: [8], [9]
Assesed a page: [10]
Fixed an assessment: [11].
Removed wpbs from a single project: [12]
Removed useless talk header: [13]
It took me two edits to fix these because I did not check it right: [14]

Yobot doing a cosmetic change?
Yobot changed "cn" to "citation needed". I realize that the cn is redirect, but I don't believe it's necessary to edit the article to remove it. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 00:07, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Eponymous-Archon The bot did a fix for CheckWiki error #61. Per WP:REFPUNC, punctuation goes before, not after a reference. The bot moved a comma. Also, when doing CheckWiki errors, the bots run on a list of article containing errors. The error may have been fixed before the bot gets to it. Bgwhite (talk) 00:35, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I don't see that correction. What I see is the removal of spaces flanking the bar in a ref and a space at the end of a paragraph. In addition there's the cn change. The last seems unnecessary regardless of any other corrections though. - 50.153.125.149 (talk) 01:58, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- The comma is in the first paragraph of the diff. AWB bots do what is called general fixes, this includes converting a template redirect to the actual name of the template. Converting the 50+ different redirects for citation needed is one of them. Bgwhite (talk) 02:47, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Your edit
Hello Magioladitis, I noticed that you performed this edit on Chandavaram Buddhist site. Perhaps you failed to see the "in-use" flag on the page. Whilst your contributions are appreciated, kindly wait till the in-use tag is removed as it is causing might cause edit conflicts. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 07:20, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- AKS.9955 I noticed the sign but since I edited a single section (I pressed edit in the section and not for the entire article) and the change was single line I assumed mediawiki won't edit conflict. Did you get an edit conflict message? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:25, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
-
- Hello Magioladitis, sorry, my message was not correctly worded. I did not get any edit conflict as whilst I was updating the page, in a different tab I noticed your update and hence started the edit again in a new tab (to avoid any possible edit conflict). When I posted, I had not seen your userpage else I would have perhaps not dropped the message above (considering your experience). I hope you understand that some "new enthusiasts" ignore the in-use tag and start editing the articles (on AGF) under construction which causes bit of heartburn. In our case, "no love lost". Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 07:35, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
AKS.9955 Happy editing my wikifriend! Thanks for contacting me. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:41, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
Removing Orphan status
Hello. The new article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tighe_O'DonoghueRoss has an 'Orphan' banner on it. There is other reference in Wikipedia for him, but there is a problem I hope you can help me with. His name is spelled with a "/" - Tighe O'Donoghue/Ross, but it had to be listed as Tighe O'DonoghueRoss in the title of the article since the "/" in the title would have caused programming problems. Any reference to him elsewhere should include the "/", but if you check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N22_road_%28Ireland%29, you go to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tighe_O%27Donoghue/Ross&action=edit&redlink=1. How can this be corrected, so a reference in another article will go to the right page? Thanks.Garranes (talk) 09:54, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker)/@Garranes: You have to pipe the Wikilink, like I've done here. Hope this helps. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:27, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Brilliant! That fixed it. I've added two links now and will do more shortly. Can the 'orphan' banner be removed now? Thanks much.Garranes (talk) 22:52, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
