You bulk request at Requests for page protection[edit]

Your request has already been declined by another admin. Take it to WP:Administrators' noticeboard if you wish, but stop clogging up the request board by delaying the archiving operation. Maintain a copy off-line or retrieve a copy from the edit history at Special:PermaLink/1163157168. Favonian (talk) 08:15, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Final warning: You are at the wrong noticeboard! Favonian (talk) 08:21, 3 July 2023 (UTC)~~ Cancel that, you left the archiving template in place. Sorry! Favonian (talk) 08:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise. It is just that my network situation here currently is horrible. I have to edit and publish it at intervals before they would be lost in reconnecting to the internet. And still, I am not done editing yet.197.2.174.118 (talk) 08:25, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I can still C them at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2023/07#All pages indefinitely edit-protected by samsara between 2015 and 2018. If U don't mind, I will continue editing from there onwards. I will be planning to take them to WP:ANI afterwards. Thanks.197.2.174.118 (talk) 08:33, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please, do NOT edit the archive! Keep the copy on your own computer. If you had an account, you could maintain a sandbox, but that option is not available for IPs. Favonian (talk) 08:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I was almost going to update it if not because of your reminder. Well, I discovered that option is available for IPs. Just Y R we not allowed to edit there? How can we reference a discussion when it has been archived?197.2.174.118 (talk) 08:46, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's done via the permanent link feature, an example of which is found in my first comment on this page. The easiest way to obtain such a link is look at the edit history and click on the timestamp of the version you want. Favonian (talk) 08:53, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or I can use the diff feature, correct? Also, while I am still editing, please tell me a few words about the question I just bolded above and what happens if that rule is broken by any user, even continuously.197.2.174.118 (talk) 08:59, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Diff works as well. I'll be going off-line shortly and thus won't be of much use as a mentor. Favonian (talk) 09:02, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, take your time.197.2.174.118 (talk) 09:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
