Spihelper

Tim, I just became a trainee SPI clerk. I'm trying to find documentation for spihelper, and everywhere I look there are links to non-existent pages, e.g., "Documentation for this script can be added at User:Timotheus Canens/spihelper". The sock puppetry investigation procedures page recommends using the script "to help with changing states, and especially archiving." Is there any documentation on how to use the script? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:59, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

What skin do you use? For vector it's in the dropdown menu at the top right. T. Canens (talk) 16:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see it, when I'm on an SPI page, there's an entry just below "purge" with some checkboxes and a Continue button. I assume there's some way of undoing any screw-up. Seems to me that I recall noticing problems caused by other clerks, pointing them out, and their responding they must have not used the script properly. I guess I'll just have to try it and hope for the best. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:53, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

RfC - Edit-warring

I've opened an RfC regarding a discussion that you were involved in.[1] A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:45, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Impressive

"Indefinitely separating an long-term dedicated editor from this project should take more than the closest possible vote of a divided committee. For this reason alone, I'm striking my support. T. Canens (talk) 00:03, 4 September 2013 (UTC)" PumpkinSky talk 01:55, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

I believe that your action was "clearly and obviously" right. It also saved my life on the project, making more articles and edits possible, such as the recent Ben Gunn and "Let us not forget that even one book, one pen, one teacher can change the world", or one edit. Thank you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:24, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
