Your signature
Hi R4356th,

I noticed that I when replied to a post, my timestamp was included within a preformatted tag. My initial investigation revealed the problem is related to your above reply. Not entirely sure what it is, but suspect the multiple  tags, or nesting of such, in your signature is the problem. So, if you could kindly manually fix any recent transclusions of your signature and also fix your actual signature file, that'd be great. :)

Thanks! :)

Cheers,

 * How does it look now? R4356th contributions Logged Actions Rights CentralAuth (talk) 09:32, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It's better, as I see you've removed the manual timestamp, but it's still doesn't not following widely accepted signature norms. If you could remove the extra  or , as I feel like one of the two is causing problems with the page indentation, and have your timestamp appear on the same line as your signature following "(talk)," that'd be great. It's also not clear to me that's necessary to specify Arial as the font family, as that's either (a) the default, as that's what I'm using, or (b) not the default, in which case I see no difference from my text, so it's not working. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

your Reverse edit on Request for Permissions
hey there i wanted to speak to you about your reverse edit on Undid revision 159554 by Dmehus (talk): Vandalism - Your action implies that you do not care about Meta policies. And private discussions help nobody. If you do want to revert this then please hold a community discussion first. Thanks.

Dmehus always has respect for the Rules and etc. and I just want to say he always assumes good faith and he removed my request for a reason we spoke about it on irc and since no one voted it still complies with the rules to remove the thread and I just wanted to mention this. --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 17:04, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I actually reverted another edit but that has been taken care of privately. I hope this helps. :) 17:46, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

thankyou for reverting that I just did not want anyone to be confused by those edits (: --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 18:24, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * It is alright. :) 18:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Frequency of operation of TranslationHelper
Hey R4356th,

I meant to ask you, actually, how frequently your TranslationHelper  proposed to operate and whether it would be automatically or manually run? Looking at this revision, that seems to indicate it is manually run, which is fine. I'm just wondering if you might consider setting it up on a cron, like Revibot, and have it run either once a day or once a week (however often we felt it needed to be run)?

Separately, I noticed that you add categories at User:TranslationHelper/Categories to Crawl, which is good. While fairly minor, I'm wondering if we could modify the code, perhaps, to have the bot monitor, say, Category:Pages monitored by TranslationHelper instead?

Cheers,

 * Yes, you are right. And I am not currently interested in setting up a cron job for the bot without any specific use case. I am of course always open to suggestions, however. :) And regarding using a category instead of a page for tracking which pages to update, using a category will technically be better for me and if I ever decided to set up a cron. So if the Meta community does not have any problem, we can use a category. 19:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * R4356th The Meta community will have not any issues with using either a subpage of your bot's userspace or a category page; however, it's really more of a administrator issue as it's mainly a logistical/administrative concern. I personally don't mind either, actually, though I wondered whether using a category would be technically more difficult to set up (i.e., a major change to your bot's code), but I guess it doesn't. The automation isn't essential, but it would just be nice to know that as future pages are marked for translation, the bot will check it on a regular basis. Also, another advantage to automating is that an update time could be set to when editing volumes are low (which is probably in the overnight hours for me). Either one is not essential, though, just more of something to think about over the next month or so maybe. Dmehus (talk) 23:29, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you think there needs to be a thread on Meta:AN regarding this? 07:54, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hrm, likely not, no. It's just an administrative/logistical discussion that can occur anywhere. As the operator of User:TranslationHelper, your talk page is arguably the best place to have any discussion between one or more Meta administrators and you regarding logistical changes to the bot's operations or technical specifications. As long as the bot isn't being proposed to add new tasks or expand its scope of operation, no new bot approval request discussion is required. Dmehus (talk) 13:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I will make the technical changes soon then. 13:15, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
