Louis, Petit Dauphin

Your close was correct, but that's because I forgot to comment. I would have opposed this move. Please reopen and relist. Srnec (talk) 14:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I’m afraid I cannot do so because I lack page move rights. I recommend opening a new requested move about renaming it to the title you think is best. Apologizes. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 14:56, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Review request

Hey mate, I saw you reviewed the emoji redirects I just created. I was wondering if you could help with with a problem I'm having with the page "Trimagnesium dicitrate" and its common misspelling "Trimagnesium bicitrate"? The misspelling was marked as reviewed while the correct spelling was never reviewed, so right now if you type "trimagnesium" into the search bar only the typo "bicitrate" will show up. Is there any way you could mark the correct capitalisation as reviewed? Thanks!

P.S. I also recently moved the page "Dried Currant" to the correct capitalisation "Dried currant", but soon afterward a bot marked the incorrect capitalisation as reviewed. If you have time could you review the correct capitalisation or delete the incorrect one? Cheers! Enix150 (talk) 20:39, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

I have read the above message. I will reply when I have a moment. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:07, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

 Done. I’ve patrolled the correct capitalization for both of those sets of pages. Sorry about that, I’m not sure how it happened. Feel free to leave me a message here about any further issues. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:26, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you again! And yes, I will. Cheers! Enix150 (talk) 08:08, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

NCP Ajit Pawar

@Illusion Flame I have not formed NCP Ajit Pawar faction article. XYZ 250706 (talk) 17:52, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I know, and I’m aware that you didn’t write the article, you simply moved it to the draft space and forgot to tag the redirect for deletion. You can see here for more information:Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar) - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 17:54, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Signature

Hi @Illusion Flame so I have found a way to change the colour of my name but is there a way to save the signature on my four tildes. The code is [[User:Shadow345110|<span style="color:purple">'''''Shadow'''''</span><span style="color:gray">'''345110'''</span>]]. Shadow (talk) 22:45, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Yeah. All you have to do it add that as your signature in preferences. Feel free to test adding your signature here. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:47, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I tried that but it just pasted the actual code. Shadow (talk) 22:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Try clicking the button that says treat it like wikitext. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:50, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

[[User:Shadow345110|<span style="color:purple">'''''Shadow'''''</span><span style="color:gray">'''345110'''</span> (talk) 23:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC) I pressed it and it just won't work I will press it the tick will show but then I will save it and the tick would go away it won't save.

Did you click the save button at the bottom? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:16, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes but I have managed to fix it I switched to desktop instead of mobile view and it worked. Shadow345110 23:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Great! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:24, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Also I saw that you are my mentor now did you do that or was it automatically done. You replaced Chlod. Shadow345110 23:29, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I did do so, as you have been asking me quite a few questions lately and I’m your CVUA instructor. Feel free to have @Chlod reclaim you if they want to. I just thought that it would make it easier for you to ask questions. Is that okay? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:32, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Illusion Flame ABSOLUTELY IT'S OK. To be honest due to his life outside of Wikipedia Chlod took a while to answer my questions but that is not his fault. You answer very quickly so it will be a big help.

So I'm going to ask you one more thing I see bots go on talk pages and archive certain discussions will they automatically come for my talk page or do I need to do something? Shadow345110 23:37, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

You need to configure it. I think the page on WP:TALKARCHIVE says more. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:02, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Already loving you being my mentor. Shadow345110 00:04, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

If you want faster help (I do have to sleep), I would recommend joining WP:Discord, where you can message me and the while Wikipedia server asking questions. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:09, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Cloak requests

Hi Illusion Flame, I've spotted that you've now sent seven seemingly identical requests for a Wikipedia IRC cloak over the last 36 hours or so. Is something going wrong with the form when you try to submit it? I just want to double check that all is good before getting the cloak applied to your account. Thanks! stwalkerster (talk) 23:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, all is good. I’ve only submitted one request, so I’m not sure what is causing there to be multiple. The only think I can think of is when I used /msg wmopbot cloakstatus. No clue, but you can go ahead and process the cloak, when you’re free. Sorry for the inconvenience! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:16, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Libera Staff have applied the cloak for you now - thanks for confirming! stwalkerster (talk) 23:25, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I’m still not sure what that was about. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:27, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Question:Reliable or not.

Hi @Illusion Flame I looked on WikiProject professional wrestling sources and it does not list this specific source so I don't know if it is reliable. The website is itrwrestling.com, please can you find out if it is reliable or not and let me know. Thank you. Also what do you think of this draft now. If you can please give me some tips and tell me what I can improve because my first draft which is this one has not gone so well. Sorry to be a pain. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:42, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I have read the above message. I will reply when I have a moment. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:57, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I’m not really a wresting guru, but from a quick glance it looks fairly reliable. I would ask someone from Wikiproject wresting for their opinion. For the draft you linked, the early life section is completely empty. You have a great start, so keep adding to it. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:51, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. The reason the early life section is blank is because I know some things about his early life but there are no sources I have found that prove what I know is true, I know it is true but how will other people. I might just add the content then add a BLP unsourced template to the section. Shadow345110 (talk) 22:07, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I wouldn’t advise that, and the lack of information about the subject is worrying to me. If that information isn’t published in reliable secondary sources, it may mean that the subject isn’t notable, or that this is a WP:BLP1E. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Illusion Flame!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help, and think you’d be a great fit!
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines. If you’re interested, but want to grow your knowledge first, consider applying for NPP school.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision and feel free to contact any reviewer with questions. If this seems like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
• If you would like to join the project and begin reviewing, please see the granting guidelines. You can apply for the user right here.

We hope to see you around! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:48, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Random Question

Hey @Illusion Flame I know this is a really random and probably annoying question but what wikithing do you think I am. I think I am a WikiPuppy but I want your opinion. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Why has it added my question as part of the NPP box??? I'm not the only one seeing it right it is expanding into the box.Shadow345110 (talk) 20:58, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I fixed it using my (very) limited html knowledge. I think the </div> tag was being enclosed in the invisible comment tags so no closing of the message. I've added a </div> tag at the end of the message. CC @Zippybonzo. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 21:06, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

@Schminnte Thank you random talk page stalker that came out of nowhere. Illusion Flame did you get my question or are you busy. Shadow345110 (talk) 21:15, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

I’m on a plane right now and will respond when I get a chance. Sorry! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:57, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

@Shadow345110 I’ll be honest, I’m not super familiar with Wikifauna, and it’s really not up to me to decide. It’s up to you. If you think you’re a wikipuppy, then you’re a wikipuppy. I think you have some elements of a wikipuppy. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:37, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Shadow345110 (talk) 06:05, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Question from BFDITwo (02:41, 12 July 2023)

Why does Battle for Dream Island not have a Wikipedia page? And can you give me the link to the fandom wiki? --BFDITwo (talk) 02:41, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Battle for Dream Island doesn’t have a Wikipedia page because no one has created a page about it yet. If you want to do it yourself I would recommend using the article wizard. I’m not sure what you mean by Fandom Wiki. Wikipedia isn’t associated with Fandom sites. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 05:58, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

@BFDITwo: I would recommend having a read at Wikipedia:Why is BFDI not allowed on Wikipedia? beforehand, which details some of the pitfalls of writing on this topic. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 07:33, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Schminnte ! I hadn’t come across that page myself yet. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 12:59, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Question from BFDITwo (08:04, 12 July 2023)

Do you get anything if you make a article? --BFDITwo (talk) 08:04, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @BFDITwo, no you don’t. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 08:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Trainer CVUA

will you be my trainer cvua ? -MP1999 talk 06:41, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

While I would love to be your CVUA trainer, I don’t currently have enough time in my schedule to take on another student. I would recommend chatting with another trainer. I’m very sorry. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 12:25, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @MP1999, I'm happy to take you on as a student if you wish. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 12:46, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Nice, I didn’t know you were a trainer too. @MP1999 I would definitely recommend @Zippybonzo as an instructor. Feel free to use my lessons by the way. Check out the trainers resources section. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 12:49, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Tbh, I saw this and decided, I may as well become a trainer as I've wanted to train for a bit, I'm also considering starting to train people at NPPSCHOOL. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 12:51, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)@Zippybonzo I will need a trainer for the NPPSCHOOL after I have finished Illusion Flame CVUA lessons. Shadow345110 23:32, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Question:CVUA Lessons July 13, 2023

Hey @Illusion Flame on my lessons it says put 2 pages up for speedy deletion using any of the criteria can I use some pages I accidently created. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:17, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

No. Try to find bad pages created by other users and correctly tag them for speedy deletion. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 18:19, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Ok just checking. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Do you know any good places I can find bad pages. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:45, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

You can visit Special:NewPagesFeed and sort through new pages with specific issues. You could also use certain edit filters to find bad pages too. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 18:53, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:58, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

When I try to go on the NewPagesFeed it says "This Extension Needs A JavaScript Enabled Browser." but my JavaScript is enabled. Shadow345110 (talk) 19:13, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

That’s odd. I’ve never gotten that error before. Maybe try a different browser? Chrome, DuckDuckGo, Opera, Yahoo etc. If that doesn’t work, maybe try a different device? I’ve asked this to some more folks and should get a response soon. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 19:19, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

I'll try a different browser but I have not got a different device as my family are quite poor and I don't want my lessons taking a few years as I finish school in a few years and then I will have to get a job. Not only will that take a long time it is not fair on you or others. People might need these lesons from you and I will be wasting your time. Shadow345110 (talk) 19:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

As long as you’re learning, you’re not wasting my time. I also only edit on one device (my phone). I’m sure there’s an easy fix, so try a different browser. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 19:29, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately I have just tried different browsers but they are saying the same thing I think it is my device. Shadow345110 (talk) 19:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Okay, that’s fine! Does Special:NewPages work for you? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 19:36, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes that works @Illusion Flame. Shadow345110 (talk) 19:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Can I use this and is there a specific tag I can use. Shadow345110 (talk) 19:53, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Can you use what? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 19:58, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

@Shadow345110 do you have an add blocked installed? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 19:59, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

No I have not installed one. Why?. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:01, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Well, Ad blockers may cause the page to not work. Keep on using Special:NewPages! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:02, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Is there a specific tag I can use. Also how do I put a wikistress meter on my user page. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:09, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

A tag for what? Yes add {{wstress3d|1, 2, 3, or 4}} - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:18, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

A tag for the new pages page and sorry I kept putting Volten001 I meant you Illusion Flame my heads not been right recently and nor has my mental health. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:23, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

I assume you mean deletion tags. You can use {{db-G1}} and replace G1 with the criteria that applies. Like {{db-A7}}. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:26, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

That and like the tag you gave me about vandalism for the recent changes page. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:29, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

You can tag vandalism pages with {{db-G3}}. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Sorry I'm stupid I meant filter. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

You use the same deletion tags, no matter how you find the bad pages. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:37, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm being really annoying but can you review this draft for me if you have the correct user right that is. If you decline it can you tell me what I need to improve or what us missing. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:43, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. About the Japanese sources I don't know any Japanese so how will I know what it is about do you know any of the language. Could I potentially ask you. Also there is one source called supaluchas.com it's a reliable source but I think it is in Mexican. I don't know any other language other then english. Shadow345110 (talk) 21:25, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

I also don’t know any languages other than English. Maybe you could try a program like Google translate? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:34, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Question from GersonCool (17:04, 15 July 2023)

Hey Illusion Flame, I am currently enrolled in a class and have just uploaded my revisions to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelong_learning. I got some feedback that my revision was not neutral enough in tone for a Wikipedia article, so I made some revisions to my text and published again. My section has a maintenance template posted to it, and I was wondering if I had done enough revision to warrant removing the template. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --GersonCool (talk) 17:04, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello @GersonCool and welcome to Wikipedia. Extremely sorry for the late reply, I’ve been very busy lately. As for the section tag, I think it should stay, as it does still read as an essay. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 17:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Backlog drive preparation

Hi Mr Flame, I'm sure I've told you the instructions before, but could you setup the drive when you get time. Thanks, Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 04:22, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Sure! I think you sent them through Discord. I’ll get started sometime here soon. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 12:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Update:Apparently we’ve never had a drive for both articles and redirects, so it may take me additional time to write the appropriate documentation for the backlog drive pages. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 14:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Question:Pictures

Hi I was wondering where you get pictures you can use from is there like a special page or something. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Do you mean like https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 18:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Savanur

I removed the deletion tag for Battle of Savanur because it is improved now. Could you please check if it is correct? Ajayraj890 (talk) 15:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

That’s fine. I simply tagged the redirect for deletion because it lead to the draft space d which is prohibited. Now that you’ve added an article there, the deletion reason no longer applies. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 15:51, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hello Mr Flame, is there anyway I can get an idle CVUA student (MP1999) to get back into the course without being overly bitey. On a different but related note, I managed to get a good student who I imagine will do very well in the CVUA. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 01:30, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Great Mr. Bonzo, I’m excited to hear that you’ve gotten into teaching at the CVUA. For the student that needs a little reminder about their course, I’d recommend leaving a message on their talk page with something like this, feel free to copy:

”Hey MP1999,

I noticed you haven’t edited your counter vandalism academy work in a little while. I wondered if you’re still interested in the course, or if you are currently unable to keep up. I completely understand being busy, and I’d like to come up with a plan where you can better learn about counter vandalism in a way that fits your current needs and availability. We’d love to have you continue to join us, and I encourage you to keep up the good work on your assignments. Just let me know. Thanks!” - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 01:41, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, I’m going to copy that and send it now. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 07:56, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Illusion Flame. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:20, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Dear Illusion Flame,

Thank you for volunteering as a Host at the Teahouse. Wikipedia is a community of people working together to make knowledge free. You are an important part of that effort! By joining as a Host, and by following our expectations, you are helping new users to get started here at Wikipedia, and aiding more experienced users who just have a question about how something works. We appreciate your willingness to help!

Here are some links you may find helpful as a Host:

• Useful scripts you can install to make responding easier,
• templates to use and, of course:
• the question forum itself.

Editors who have signed up as hosts, but who have not contributed at the Teahouse for six months or so may be removed from the list of hosts.

So sorry to have posted on your userpage - it's been a long and tiring day of cleanup and very repetitive editing!

Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 21:13, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the belated welcome @Nick Moyes! And no need to apologize for editing my userpage, I definitely understand. I won’t miss the opportunity to give you a trout, however.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

- 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hahaha. Shadow345110 (talk) 23:08, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I haven't had a trout for ages and ages, though I know I've definitely deserved one or two recently. Nick Moyes (talk) 23:16, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Nice. We all need a trout every little while to keep us humble. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:18, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I have never had a trout but that is probably because I am new-ish. Shadow345110 (talk) 23:21, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Shadow345110 If you stick around long enough, and get involved in 'behind the scenes' routine maintenance work and Teahouse help, you'll eventually cock it up and merit a really good slimy trouting.

I messed up really badly back in 2018 and felt it appropriate to formally and deeply apologise to an editor I had wrongly accused of copyright violations. If you're really interested, you can read about it here and at my RFA. We all make mistakes; I regard it as a mark of decency if an editor is prepared to admit and to apologise for them. That applies as much today as before I became an administrator here; maybe even more so. Feel free to bollock me if/when I next overstep the mark! Nick Moyes (talk) 22:18, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Absolutely. We all make mistakes, although some people find it harder to admit that than others. It’s how you respond to those mistakes and what you learn that is the most important, to me at least. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:23, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

@Nick Moyes @Illusion Flame Nice I do want to become a TeaHouse Member but I don't think I know enough yet and I am a little too inexperienced. Shadow345110 (talk) 15:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

@Shadow345110 No, I completely disagree. You're perfectly capable! Being a Teahouse Host isn't a permission someone grants you, based on your past editing experience. It's a state of mind! If you are minded to want to gently help and support new editors, then you've already got over 2,500 edits behind you and a lot of experience along the way (more than many new Hosts, I'd venture).

Just lurk for a while at the Teahouse - maybe dip a toe in by answering a question or two there when you know your answer will genuinely be of help to another user. But don't try to respond if you don't know how to help them (I still find myself doing that today). If you like the feeling of being supportive, then do then sign yourself up as a Teahouse Host. I see it's on your wishlist, and it's often a very good way for editors to start doing 'behind the scenes' helping out before moving on gain other permissions and skills. Being there is also a really good way to learn from the answers other editors give - and -something i also stilhat tl be, tooneJust git from today! Go for it!

Technical news

• The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
• Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)

Arbitration

• The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
• The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.

Post pone ment of cuva

Are we postponing my cuva?

sorry to bug •Cyberwolf• 18:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Please see your email; which I replied to. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Sthokza (09:38, 11 August 2023)

hello. Can I be able to to read books and down load them into my mobile device? --Sthokza (talk) 09:38, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Sthokza and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia doesn’t really have books, as we are an encyclopedia with articles. You may want to see our sister project, Wikibooks which has some textbook type content. If you could please clarify what you mean, that would be helpful for me. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 12:40, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Apswikicontrib (12:13, 13 August 2023)

Hello User:Illusion Flame, I want to know that, for writing an article about a subject if there are offline references like old pics from newspapers and so on then are these considered? If yes, then how to include them? --Apswikicontrib (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

CVUA Lessons

@Illusion Flame Does the final exam have a time limit? Shadow345110 (talk) 18:12, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

No it doesn’t, but you aren’t there yet. You still have the monitoring period, which I haven’t started because you said you’re going on a wikibreak. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 18:17, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Yep but I am back for more than five days. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:22, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Your opinion

Hi @Illusion Flame I want to ask you if I should put in a request for the new page patrol user right or do you think I am not ready yet. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

@Shadow345110: You're not ready yet. It appears as though you've never participated at WP:AfD, which is something admins look for when a user requests the NPR permission. See the NPR guidelines for granting for more information. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:30, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

While on the subject, I thought I'd mention that your goals on your user page mention "becoming a new page patrol" as well as "become a new page reviewer". Those are actually the same permission, with "new page reviewer" being the name of the permission but "new page patrol" being the common name that the group typically goes by. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:33, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh eeerrrmm... Hi your not Illusion Flame. Thank you for letting me know I find it hard to take part in AFD at the moment (presonal reasons as said on my userpage) because it uses alot of time but that will change soon and I am getting better. Also I thought New Page Reviewer and New Page Patrol was the same but I didn't know for sure. Shadow345110 (talk) 19:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

For the record, I asked @Hey man im josh to comment here as they are experienced with NPP invites. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 19:57, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

That's fine sorry if I sounded rude. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

CVUA Lessons

Hi @Illusion Flame on my lessons in scenario 3 I'm finding it very hard as I can't use twinkle please can you help. Shadow345110 (talk) 18:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I’ve changed the question to remove anything about Twinkle. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 18:16, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame I'm sorry to say I might not be able to do the monitoring period until September. Sorry for wasting your time. I will let you know when I am ready. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

That’s fine! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:03, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

There is a message for you on the talk page of my draft @Illusion Flame just to let you know. Shadow345110 (talk) 23:10, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

I know. I took a day off of editing for my mental health and I’m getting to all my notifications shortly. Sorry for the delay. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:14, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Don't worry that is exactly one of the reasons why I am not as active editing Wikipedia helps sometimes but other times it doesn't. I have terrible mental health to the point where I have attempted to end myself (not recently) but I am slowly getting better. Sorry if this is personal and breaks Wikipedia guidelines but I thought that you would understand. Shadow345110 (talk) 23:19, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Well if you ever need some to talk to, (I sometimes find it nice to talk to someone I don’t know IRL, so I can truly vent) email me. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:46, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Sorry for this late reply. Thank you so much for the offer maybe one day I will. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:57, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

For when you are back from your break

Hi @Illusion Flame I saw you went on a wikibreak did you still do my monitoring period or will I have to do it again. Soryy if I am being rude just would like to know as I will not be active again on Monday till around 7 September. Hope you are enjoying your break and keeping your sanity. I lost mine ages ago. Lol. Shadow345110 (talk) 01:14, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Shadow345110 and I apologize for my unfortunate wikibreak timing. Instead of a “monitoring period”, just revert as much vandalism as you can before your inactivity. When my break is done, I’ll review your progress and possibly give you the final exam on 7 September. Good? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 01:26, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Also try to focus on mostly counter vandalism during this time, as I don’t see much in your edit history. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 01:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Yep that sounds good @Illusion Flame. Sorry about not reverting vandalism I have been busy outside of Wikipedia and trying to take part in AFDs. I also have been trying to put this draft into mainspace and I also don't have the right browser for the vandalism gadgets due to lack of money. Sorry. Shadow345110 (talk) 01:32, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

No problem at all. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 01:43, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@{{u|Illusion Flame} do you have the roll back right because an ip adress disrupted a page that hasn't been edited in a while and he managed around 20 vandalism edits on one article Ill revert some. Shadow345110 (talk)

Never mind someone beat me. Shadow345110 (talk) 01:42, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

I do, sorry I’m too late. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 01:44, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame can you review my draft please or do you not do it on request. I saw the draft waiting for review shot up by quite alot again by the way that is why I am participating in AFDs so I can try to enroll in the NPP school after these lessons to get the user right so I can help out. Shadow345110 (talk) 01:49, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

What draft? I usually don’t do AFC/NPP reviews upon request, but I can at least take a look and ask others on the team. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 01:53, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you its Kai Fujimura. Shadow345110 (talk) 01:56, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

 Discussing. But I’m going to sleep. Will talk tomorrow. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 02:04, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Me too its 3:06 AM where I am I stayed up late doing my draft AFDs and reverting vandalism. Shadow345110 (talk) 02:07, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hi is there a place where you can ask for pictures to be taken if there is none on commons. Shadow345110 (talk) 19:50, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

I’m not super familiar with commons, but https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:File_requests looks promising. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 19:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:05, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Also @Shadow345110 please remember to use warning templates. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

People keep beating me to it. :( Shadow345110 (talk) 20:05, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) It's alright! Remember, it isn't a race, you're fighting vandalism, and others are doing the same. And I think Illusion Flame is referring to this edit. Anyways, good work on your anti-vandalism work so far! Tails Wx 20:16, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Tails Wx aren't you the one that left the comment on the draft. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:21, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Sure am! Tails Wx 20:21, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Can you understand Japanese? @Tails Wx Shadow345110 (talk) 20:25, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Nah. Tails Wx 20:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Shadow345110 You’re talking to the best two tailed Wikipedia editor. And everything he’s said above is correct. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Two tails? Shadow345110 (talk) 21:15, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

It looks like they’ve re-written their userpage . Ask them @Tails Wx. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:17, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

It's been added back after accidentally being removed. ;) Tails Wx 21:23, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame @Tails Wx All I had to see was sonic now I think I understand. Shadow345110 (talk) 21:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Update on my activity

Hi @Illusion Flame I thought I will let you know that this is my last day of being fully active but I have been trying to revert as much vandalism as I can (and remembering to warn users). I hope I have done enough to please you. Shadow345110 (talk) 22:52, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

I’m always pleased with you Jack! Do you know when you’ll be active again? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:26, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Definitely around September 7-10 anything before that your lucky. Sorry about the inactivity. Shadow345110 (talk) 23:32, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Why? Shadow345110 (talk) 23:56, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Just curious so I can figure out the final exam. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Oh ok I am a bit nervous about the finl exam. Shadow345110 (talk) 00:02, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

No need to be nervous. If you have any questions, just ask! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm Back Early

Hi @Illusion Flame I am back early. Just to let you know I am a bit upset because my inspiration and favorite wrestler died recently (Bray Wyatt). Shadow345110 (talk) 18:07, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Hi! How are you?! Shadow345110 (talk) 18:22, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

I’m doing well, great actually! How are you? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Recovering and upset as mentioned above my inspiration and favorite wrestler unexpectedly died so yeah that hurts. But my third draft is coming together nicely. Shadow345110 (talk) 21:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

That’s unfortunate, but I’m glad to hear about your draft! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:44, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Final Test

I am ready for my final test by the way when you are ready. Shadow345110 (talk) 21:15, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

 Checking... - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:44, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Overall, I’m pretty satisfied. I do wish there was a larger quantity of vandalism being reverted, but I understand being beaten to it. Take a day or two and try to really focus hard on reverting vandalism and warning. Or RFPP, CSD, AIV. Stuff like that. When you’re finished with that, leave me a note here and we can start the exam. Good? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:49, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Another reason why it is hard is because my device is slow so I have to be lucky also my possible drafts I am going to write shot up to 150. I cant believe I found that many. But I do see where you are coming from so yes it Will be ok. In fact if you check my history that is what I have been doing for the past hour or so! Shadow345110 (talk) 21:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

I have seen that, yes! Keep it up. You’re at 89 undos according to xtools. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:58, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Confused

Hi I just found duplicate accounts but on both their user page they dont declare it User talk:PenguinEncounter and User talk:PenguinEncounter2 I think it is ok as the talk page for the first one redirects to the second one. Shadow345110 (talk) 22:06, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

I've left a message on PenguinEncounter2's talk page for clarification about the redirecting and asked if they've operated that account. Tails Wx 22:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

@Tails Wx Hi Tails thank you. Shadow345110 (talk) 23:04, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

They've confirmed that it was their previous account–just lost the password. No worries! Tails Wx 23:06, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

@Tails Wx Ok. There is a message for you on Draft talk:Yasutaka Yano Shadow345110 (talk) 23:08, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Found another possible duplicate account

@Tails Wx and Illusion Flame I have found another possible duplicate account User talk:Dash111 User talk:Dash222 both accounts seem to have made only one edit and Dash 111 was made 2008 do you think this is a possible coincidence. Shadow345110 (talk) 21:20, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
• A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

• Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. (T324166)

Arbitration

• The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

• Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
