Phases

Hello @Byst28: Amazing edits - 2020 coronavirus pandemic in the Republic of Ireland. Please may you cite/define the containment and delay phases or mention them in the response section? Ear-phone (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, this is the best explanation I can find, straight from the Department of the Taoiseach on 9 March: "Ireland remains in the Containment Phase... will move towards Delay". The change to Delay occurred with the 12 March Washington announcement according to this headline. The British government also uses these terms. --Byst28 (talk) 01:06, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

COVID-19 in Ireland: Wikipedia's template size limit

edit

Hello Byst28, I noticed that you have re-added the "Self-confirmed and posthumously reported SARS-CoV-2 infection cases involving noted figures of Ireland" table back to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland page. In the previous 24 hours, the template limit issue on the page was solved. However, after you re-added the table back in, the template limit issue was back, causing templates at the bottom of the page to not show up.

I clearly stated why I transferred the table to the Main article on that article's talk page. The table is way too large, and now the current table on the main page is too small to even read it. The page is already way too big at a ridiculous 289,459 bytes - with 44,911 bytes the table.

This table should be moved to the main page immediately to solve the template limit issue. Edl-irishboy (talk) 09:18, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

But it was already at the main page?
I read the discussion you mention before I returned it. I returned it on the basis of the following statement you gave there: " I'll implement the change now to see if it fixes this template limit issue......... No, removing the table on Cases section did not fix this issue. Seems like we're not the only COVID-19 page that is suffering from this issue... many COVID articles are also suffering from this." So I understood that the issue was not with the table and that later it was found to be with the template called "COVID-19 pandemic". That's why I returned the table when I did.
As BlueHairedLawyer stated: "The main reason [for the] problems is that it's so well cited".
Which is what I have been doing.
Since last March. --Byst28 (talk) 02:32, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
It didn't solve the template limit issue the first time I removed the table. But after you re-added the table back in, the template issue was back. I think it's fine at the main template page now. Edl-irishboy (talk) 16:58, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Autopatrolled granted

edit
 

Hi Byst28, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – bradv🍁 03:39, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
