Thanks for your participation during the Inspire Campaign focused on addressing harassment from June 2016.

Undoing

Hi, if you see me undoing edits, it's because the category buttons at 2016 Community Wishlist Survey are suddenly not looking as they should and I'm trying to figure out which edit broke them. (: /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:15, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

@Johan (WMF): Sorry about that. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 15:16, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Not even sure it your edits! Just explaining why I'm doing what I'm doing. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:17, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

@Johan (WMF): Okay, thanks. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 15:18, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it seems they were not really prepared for categorization. Sorry about that! And no need apologize for just having categorized things, of course, it's really not obvious that's going to make the category buttons not work. (: /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:29, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

@Johan (WMF): I think it's fixed now. Thanks for letting me know. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 15:31, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Global templates

Hi!

I'm writing this because some time ago you supported the Wikitemplates proposal.

That proposal appears to be inactive, but I wrote a very similar and more detailed proposal called Global templates.

Can you please read the proposal (it's translated to several langauges!), and if it sounds good, to support it by adding your signature at the page mw:Global templates/Discuss?

Thank you! --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 12:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
