Gadget
Hi ErrantX, I'm a fairly novice editor, and not very confident with coding, etc. but I have been using a gadget you designed, MediaWiki:Gadget-defaultsummaries.js, and I have noticed that when you select a minor edit dropdown, e.g. Spelling/Grammar, it actually inputs the summary "Common Edit Summaries - Click to Use". This is I know only a minor bug; in fact, I did not notice it, it was pointed out to me by User:Headbomb, but I was wondering if you could take the time to look at the source code a find out where it's going wrong. Thanks, :-) --Gilderien Talk|Contribs 20:02, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

emailuser.js
Hi ErrantX,
Is there any chance you could change User:ErrantX/emailuser.js to use protocol-relative URLs for the mail icon and link? That way it'll work when people are using the new native HTTPS support versions of the Wikimedia sites? I've put up a fixed version at User:Tom Morris/emailuser.js. Thanks. —Tom Morris (talk) 11:19, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Sure :) fixed. I didn't know anyone else knew about that except me :D I never mentioned it! --Errant (chat!) 11:22, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- I may have stalked your JavaScripts. Any chance I could be a real nuisance and ask for the image link to be fixed too? Then I can CSD my own version. —Tom Morris (talk) 11:26, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Voila :) --Errant (chat!) 11:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Awesome, thanks.

Zuggernaut issue
We may have a slight problem at Talk:Kunbi#What_is_going_on_in_this_page.3F and possibly with regard to the entire article, for which reason I request the oversight of mission control (I think that you are mission control in this instance?) I have queried something just now in the linked talk thread. - Sitush (talk) 13:48, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
The Commons notification bot image
Something that might make the commons notification bot more useful would be to include the actual image proposed for deletion on your posts, instead of a stock "image" pic. Thanks, D O N D E groovily Talk to me 23:01, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
