Making Diff Links Pretty

You can use Special:Diff if you want to make your diffs pretty. For example, ] will turn into -> revert. — Strongjam (talk) 20:24, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

thanks ForbiddenRocky (talk) 20:38, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

I use an easier way. Take your link and do this. which will show as Text to Display Here. This works on all links. Note: You must use single brackets "" and a space is required after the link (no pipes "|"). Happy editing! EoRdE6 04:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh dear the hordes have descended.

And their damage is widespread and almost random.

Sent you the link, don't bother replying as I can't access my email Avono (talk) 21:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Notificiations

Just a head's up, adding notifications like this won't work. The reply/ping/u template must be added in the same edit as your signature or else it doesn't actually notify the other user. Not sure if that's a bug or a feature, though. More at WP:PING. Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 07:16, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

@Woodroar: thanks. (Did it work this time?) ForbiddenRocky (talk) 01:38, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

It did! I also noticed that I spelled "notifications" wrong. Oh well, can't win 'em all. Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 02:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Hydra

And though one head be struck down, until we lift the beast off the earth, ever more heads shall spring forth.

GamerGate

Per your comment here, please point out to me where editors have talked about others on the GamerGate-related articles and I will take appropriate action equally. I don't have the ability to see everything, and I am willing to enforce WP policy. Oer this question see WP:CONSENSUS and WP:BRD. It's all very simple. Dreadstar ☥ 23:03, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

@Dreadstar: OK, I'll think about that. Wait, you're telling me that you work via tattling? So people tattle on MarkBernstein alot? ForbiddenRocky (talk) 01:56, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

@Dreadstar: gd i can't seem to get templates right the first time. ForbiddenRocky (talk) 01:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Doesn't matter, I'm done with GG, no one accuses me of condoning rape and gets away with it as MB has. Take to User:Newyorkbrad or some other notice board, apparently there a lot of editors who think I've condoned such evil. Dreadstar ☥ 02:00, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Um... I don't think he (or anyone else) did what you said he did. At least from what I can see. ForbiddenRocky (talk) 02:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

@Newyorkbrad: Are admin talk pages the right places to take... incivility? Which is ask are admin pages and notice boards the same thing? Truth be known I'm really lost looking up stuff that starts with WP:. I struggle keeping up with GGC. And I can't even figure out how to use the Teahouse I was invited to.
