Adopt me!

:I want to be adopted. I've been editing for a month but I keep making mistakes. I only edit outer space related articles. There is a discussion about me at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents - Wikipedia. When you respond, please {{mention}} me.

New request using The Userbox Requestinator 5000

Hi. Thanks for the offer to make userboxes. I would appreciate a user box similar to {{Template:user BeachBum}} but with this image on the left of the userbox, sized to fit vertically and with text to the right of the image saying

This user is a member of the
Degree Confluence Project
with these confluence visits

If it's not too much trouble, the url and the text of the associated clickable link should be done as named input parameters (perhaps url= and label=). Hopefully, that's clear. Adjust that as needed if I've specified something which is difficult to do. I ought to be able to do this myself, but it's not immediately clear to me how to juggle the image size to fit. Thanks.

Question

Littlecat456 Do you create topicons? Sorry for disturbing your peaceful wikibreak. TigerScientist Chat > contribs 17:35, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

When i feel like it, and when the topicon templates are in my favor, yes. Littlecat456💬(.log) 19:20, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

BOT Idiocy???==

Apparently you automate your editing? It's not necessarily an effective way to work. 2601:405:4A80:9E50:E985:F44C:6FBD:F6A6 (talk) 12:06, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, automated editing is a thing, it’s perfectly normal, and there are many tools to do so, the two I use being Twinkle and RedWarn. Littlecat456💬(.log) 12:09, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

I invite you to participate in editing the Wikipedia article on Being and Time. Start by carefully reading the article. It might also be helpful and constructive for you to be familiar with the underlying subject matter. 2601:405:4A80:9E50:E985:F44C:6FBD:F6A6 (talk) 12:17, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Look, I patrol recent changes and look for vandalism and content blanking, if you’re doing a major rework of the article, maybe use the Under Construction template, so people know to ignore any suspected vandalism or blanking. Littlecat456💬(.log) 08:27, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Une étoile pour vous !

New request using The Userbox Requestinator 5000

Can you create a userbox for my new WikiFauna, the WikiOrca? It should say, "This user is a WikiOrca, surfing the waves of Wikipedia. Don't get on this user's bad side." Cut some words if needed. TigerScientist Chat > contribs 23:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Someone else already made it. Can you make a Wikiorca topicon then? TigerScientist Chat > contribs 16:35, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
@TigerScientist: On it, gimme 10 minutes. Littlecat456💬(.log) 17:29, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
@TigerScientist: Topicons don’t seem to like me trying to make them, the one you requested broke immediately. Littlecat456💬(.log) 10:27, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Hmm ok you don’t have to do it. TigerScientist Chat > contribs 06:16, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

New request using The Userbox Requestinator 5000

Hello. I would like you to make userboxes for University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, and the Dual JD program between Detroit Mercy and the University of Windsor, please? If you could, it'd be so awesome. :) --VeroniqueBellamy (talk) 08:58, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Mentorship

Hello, I'm hoping to publish an article and am interested in being taken on as a mentee or adoptee. Are you adopting this year? Thanks! Nellas Galadhon (talk) 21:59, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Adoption?

I want to create articles, edit articles, and eventually become an administrator. I want someone to tell me what I do wrong and what I need to improve. May you adopt me? Mystic880 (talk) 09:19, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

New request using The Userbox Requestinator 5000

You should make a userbox about victor tsoi or Kino

  • FlightTime:
  • Jon Harald Søby:
    • diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".

  • JPxG:
    • PressPass adds a collection of tools for Newspapers.com including configurable automatic citation generation in five different formats.

    • ContribsTabVector adds "Contributions" and "Statistics" tabs to user and user talk pages on the Vector skin.
    • CopyvioChecker adds a "CopyvioCheck" tab to all pages, except Special (Vector skin only).
    • LiveDiffLink is a version of Equazcion's LiveDiffLink which shows a wikilink instead of a URL.
    • QuickDiff (by OneTwoThreeFall at Fandom) lets you quickly view any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, contribs pages, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere. For more information, view its page on Fandom.
  • Novem Linguae:
    • DetectSNG scans a list of 1,600 SNG keywords and displays them at the top of the article.

    • RegExTypoFix, a script for fixing typos, is a wrapper for User:Joeytje50/RETF.js.
    • talkback creates links after user talk page links like this: |C|TB (with the first linking to the user's contributions, and the latter giving the option of sending a {{talkback}} notice). It also adds a [copy] link next to section headers.
  • Rublov:
    • diff-link shows "copy" links on history and contributions pages that copy an internal link to the diff (e.g., Special:Diff/1026402230) to your clipboard when clicked.
  • Rummskartoffel:
    • auto-watchlist-expiry automatically watchlists every page you edit for a user-definable duration (you can still pick a different time using the dropdown, though).
    • generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
    • share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
    • show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
  • Tol:
  • Venkat TL:
    • ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
  • Vukky:

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
