Hello sir/madame, what is your advice on editing Misplaced Pages pages? I have seen people who have edited 3 million pages for examples, what is the best method in order to edit accurately? Of course if you are not sure you’d just leave it there just to not spread misinformation. I am kind of new so I will ask questions for a while until I get the hang of it.

Hi Isochrone, I recently made an account here after using it for many many years. I am trying to fix an external reference (name macromicro) on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/Long_Now_Foundation to https://longnow.org/ideas/macro-to-micro-etching/ but seeing the error

* ] is a rewrite of ] that makes everything saner to configure.
As an anti-abuse measure, you are limited from performing this action too many times in a short space of time, and you have exceeded this limit. Please try again in a few minutes.
* When viewing ], ] adds links to automatically insert coordinates into the article selected.
* To satiate archaeology and curiosity (the same thing, perhaps?), ] logs the time it takes for a user to review each submission to ].
Anything else I can do to get unblocked? This is the first time I am attempting an edit here so I couldn't have performed an edit "too many times".

Featured script
Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.

Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Misplaced Pages has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
