User talk:RhinosF1

This is my meta talk page

Any section older than 5 days may be archived. Discussions may be moved to another venue at my discretion and apart from auto archiving unless it is an Absoulte emergency then don’t remove content from this page. I’m active enough to do it myself.

Repeatedly re-creating page out of scope
I just fill in a red link on my name, what should I use if I see a red link on my name again? #redirect Meta:User:MarkDilley or something? Best, MarkDilley
 * Your user page can be created at User:MarkDilley or globally at mh:login:User:MarkDilley. MarkDilley is in the main namespace and we do not have individual articles about users or people. I noticied that you had created the page before and were warned on another ocassion about it by the AbuseFilter so I have prevented you from creating that specfic page again. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  05:41, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * These things make sense to you folks who work here every day, across the whole project. They don't make sense to the casual person in this community.  The thing I like about how wiki communities can be, is that they can be more friendly and forgiving of perceived or real errors. And I just went and changed my preferences to make the  point to User:MarkDilley. Best,  MarkDilley
 * Don’t worry, I’ve only prevented the creation (for everyone) of a single page. I understand if you got confused. No harm done and you’re welcome to do anything else in line with policy. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  06:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but you do see my point, policy is community knowledge, which is fantastic, also the community could be friendlier about it, thank for the friendly dialogue. Best,  User:MarkDilley
 * I think it's on you to learn some wiki basics. Meta here is for discussions of policy and management of the whole wiki farm.  Even if you became a topic of discussion on Meta, a page on Meta bearing your name would never be appropriate (except in User: space, as shown).
 * There are so many cases of spambots and advertisers creating such pages, that I don't fault users for quickly deleting yours and not thinking about whether it would be gentler to offer you assistance.
 * Here's one bit of advice: It's 4 tildes, not 3, and you'll get an automatic timestamp too. In fact, if you go back to Preferences and undo your work, the default signature will link to your user and talk pages. Cheers!   16:16 22-Apr-2020
 * Spike, thanks for the education. I have been working on wiki since 2002, know the developer of MediaWiki and all that. It is a choice, the first handful of wiki actively consider that words are timeless, and if they aren't refactor them out so no one has to read them. Cheers,  User:MarkDilley
 * There is no single developer of mediawiki, hence, what just said is incorrect. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  06:28, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Forgive me for misspeaking. Lead developer when they went from Usemod and developed MediaWiki ... although I don't think the team was too big in 2003. "Around the same time, Brion Vibber effectively took over as lead developer and release manager of the software. The code is now maintained by a large and active group of developers." MediaWiki history.   Cheers,  User:MarkDilley
 * Nice, We’ve got multiple mediawiki & wikimedia developers on miraheze. Just to be safe, would you be able to confirm you are also mediawikiwiki:User:MarkDilley as we want to avoid possible impersonation given your comments. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  06:38, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Bot
Hi

How would I like to launch a new user welcome bot on my wiki.How -- Sourav  Talk... 16:37, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * You do not need us to do anything for that if it is on your wiki. You would have to run and configure the bot. However, if it's for welcoming there are multiple extensions you can use for that (like HAWelcome). Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:06, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
