Disruptive edit in template area

Hello, Claw

Perhaps you must study our reverting policy: Every single revert must have an explanation in edit summary; for complex reverts, there must be talk page explanation as well as a user page notice. This is critical in template area and especially true for highly-used templates such as Template:Infobox OS. In addition, you don't just revert a change in template area after two weeks of its adoption.

In template area, you must be very careful because bold edits can easily end up as reckless edits.

Best regards,

Template:Latest preview software release/LibreOffice

Hello, you reverted my edit to this template. While the reason you gave "Alpha 1 is nightly build." is true, this makes no sense; because now we have the absurd situation where both "preview releases" are precursors to each of the "Fresh" and "Stable" releases, respectively.

Disambiguation link notification for July 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Transport Layer Security, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CBC. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

rvv'ing

I recommend waiting for 118.96.220.117‎‎ to be blocked, rather than reverting the edits immediately, and similarly with future cases. The history gets needlessly clogged, and you risk being blocked for violating WP:3RR. Wikipedia has many thousands of errors at any given time, so in my view it's preferable to just let the vandalism remain for a short while. On this note, I made a related edit that might interest you. I'm not sure what happened, or if I misunderstood something. —WOFall (talk) 18:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Summaries

Hi there.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 16:29, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Firefox: Adware

Mozilla Firefox is Adware since 2014-11-15. Why did you remove the category repeatedly?

Probably because the term "adware", despite what its article suggests, is generally understood to mean programs with obtrusive ads (appearing outside the originating program). In my opinion the existing list of articles in the "adware" category supports this. In any case, I suggest this discussion should be had on the firefox talk page. —WOFall (talk) 15:46, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

"frequently updated" template

Hello. I saw that you changed the current version of Vivaldi to a "frequently updated" template. If possible, please do it to the Adblock Plus and NoScript articles too, because people keep editing these pages just to update the version numbers. If there isn't such template for the extension infox, please add it. -- Marawe (talk) 18:19, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Done. --Claw of Slime (talk) 23:42, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

• Adblock Plus: [1], (Template:Latest stable software release/Adblock Plus, Template:Latest preview software release/Adblock Plus)
• NoScript: [2], (Template:Latest stable software release/NoScript, Template:Latest preview software release/NoScript)

Vivaldi (web browser)

Hi.

{{Infobox web browser}} has no such parameter as |frequently updated=.

Best regards,

Template:ECMAScript test262

I found this patrolling new templates. It is currently only used in one article. Usually, tables are only split into templates if multiple articles use them. Test262 redirects to the same article, and I don't know if this would be useful in browser articles. What were you planning to do with this? —PC-XT+ 12:08, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

The aim is to separate the edit histories about test262 table from those about core contents of ECMAScript. As you can see [3], over 90% of latest history of ECMAScript is occupied by edit of test262 table. This situation makes it very difficult to trace the exact edit history about main contents. I referred to Template:Safari release compatibility and Template:SeaMonkey release history english, and have already applied same method to Template:TLS/SSL support history of web browsers, but no one regard these templates as questionable. --Claw of Slime (talk) 16:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

I see. I added documentation so someone doesn't merge it with the article without realizing why it has only one transclusion. A link to discussion leading up to the creation would also be helpful. If someone considers it single-use article text, (which would be against Wikipedia:Template namespace#Guidelines,) and doesn't see enough reason for it, they may bring it up for discussion at TfD. It would probably be a good idea to document the other templates, as well. Cheers! —PC-XT+ 23:23, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for adding documentation. I've added documentation to other templates. --Claw of Slime (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

yaSSL

yaSSL is a library written in C++ and included with MySQL. It is a separate product, different from wolfSSL (previously called CyaSSL) written in C language. Having a single page about both libraries is confusing.

Either yaSSL should have a wiki page of its own, or the page for wolfSSL should be renamed to sth. like "Various products of wolfSSL Inc.". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtrojnar (talk • contribs) 09:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

The page is intended to cover yaSSL since the first revision. I have restored the content removed in the past. Also, renaming to "Various products of wolfSSL Inc." or something like that is nonsense. For example, Firefox cover the history when it was "Phoenix" or "Firebird". --Claw of Slime (talk) 12:50, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Implementations of AES

Hi, can you please explain at Wikipedia:External_links/Noticeboard#Implementations_of_AES why you think those links do not violate Wikipedia:ELNO? Thanks. --Ysangkok (talk) 12:10, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Removing only external link (e.g. [http://axtls.sourceforge.net/ axTLS] -> axTLS) might be acceptable, however, are there any reason to remove content itself? I think it is just a lost of useful information (especially, you eliminated whole of Python and JavaScript section). In addition, removing of DataLocker and SocialDocs cannot be explained by WP:ELNO. --Claw of Slime (talk) 12:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Stunnel

You recently modified the Stunnel page to remove the initial capitalisation. I agree that this corresponds with the usage on the Stunnel website. However, at the beginning of sentences you also replaced "Stunnel" with "The stunnel". This does NOT occur on the website, and means that the article reads in a jarring way. I have no intention of making any further reversion but you might consider making the "The stunnel" occurrences more conventional yourself. Chrisj1948 (talk) 10:05, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, Claw of Slime, I see you created the version template for Vivaldi (web browser) and was wondering if you could create one for 1Password. I am unaware of how to do it and was wondering if you could help me out :D. Thanks! JC713 (talk) 12:23, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, JC713. I have made the template for 1Password, Template:Latest stable software release/1Password. Please enjoy! --Claw of Slime (talk) 14:06, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Another template request

Hey Claw of Slime, I have another template request haha. The template of Meerkat (app) is incorrect. I was wondering if you could remove it and create a new one for it. Thanks. Any way I can learn how to do this? It seems useful. Thanks again! JC713 (talk) 01:13, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

I have fixed Template:Latest stable software release/Meerkat to be used correctly on Meerkat (app). --Claw of Slime (talk) 10:14, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks so much. How can I learn to do this? It seems very useful xD! Thanks again. JC713 (talk) 19:35, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Firstly, I made new template by copy&paste from existing templates. I don't understand fully about these template, however, important point is that matching "name" of the infobox of the article and the name of LSR/LPR templates.

e.g. in case of Meerkat (app), "name" of the infobox of the article is "Meerkat", so LSR template must be Template:Latest stable software release/Meerkat. I had made Template:Latest stable software release/Meerkat (app), but this did not work.

Template:Comparison of SHA functions

I don't understand "<80" being put back in template. No collisions in SHA1 have been found though this is probably imminent due to fairly low cost of doing so. Please see Talk:SHA-1#Collisions_not_yet_found_.28Dec_2015.29, preferably explaining what <80 means or whether this should be changed to something more sensible. Thank you. crandles (talk) 10:24, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Undo K-Meleon HTML5 support

I'm trying to be polite and civil here.

The HTML5 test page (http://html5test.com/) gives the proof. I don't see a mess-free way to put this ref-note into the table, or I would do that. One thing that some people should learn, is BEFORE madly undoing, check facts.

Actually, maybe we should delete the entire table, since no browser mentioned has a ref-note with evidence attached. And I'm serious about that. 124.171.245.136 (talk) 07:20, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

No. [4] only shows the score with the browser which accesses to the page (now, I can only see the score with Firefox 47.0b1). We need a reference like [5] which is already attached as the reference. --Claw of Slime (talk) 01:05, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes. Ref added, but HTML5test cannot parse/read useragent strings so cannot recognise the browser in "Mozilla Gecko rv:31 K-Meleon 75.0 20150624", so calls it an "unknown browser". Paste that UA string into http://www.useragentstring.com/ and see the difference. Just because a test site is incompetent with browser identification is possibly one reason we should delete the entire table--after all, I can easily spoof just about any browser with very little effort: K-Meleon was designed to get around user-sniffing from the start. This means that most entries in their records must now be highly suspect. 124.171.245.136 (talk) 08:47, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Documenting interoperability prblems with Bernstein ChaCha and the IETF's ChaCha?

Please forgive my ignorance... Documenting interoperability problems with Bernstein's ChaCha and the IETF's ChaCha is important for implementations and others parties interested in the technical details of the algorithm. Why was it reverted?

The interoperability issue was brought up with the IETF. It was suggested the IETF call their algorithm TLS-ChaCha to avoid ambiguity and not mislead folks who were implementing the algorithm. They choose a really weak argument [to paraphrase], "We published our algorithm as RFC 7905. In the context of the RFC it is the correct name". It an epic security engineering nightmare, and it promulgates interoperability problems that have plagued standards for decades. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noloader (talk • contribs)
