Hi -- would you be willing to disable the part of your general formatting script that turns two spaces between sentences into a single space? I've had to revert this several times on various articles when other editors have edited articles I'm the primary editor for, and then re-add the other useful parts of the edit. It's a cosmetic edit that has no effect on the displayed article, and it's something that is always intentional on the part of the editor who wrote the article -- who is usually the person who's going to go on and do further work on it. I know this has come up before, and I don't know if you have a reason for not removing this functionality, or just haven't got around to it, but I would really appreciate it if you could cut this.

This is the one. What happened? Kailash29792 (talk) 10:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, it's maintenance gone wrong. I'm attempting to fix it. -- Ohc 16:45, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Regarding changes on article Massin Kevin Labidi
Hi Ohconfucius, thank you for your contribution to this article. Can you please let me know if there is an issue of having Netherlands flag on this article? Dineee90 (talk) 22:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
dashes.js is suddenly broken
Something you changed in the last couple days may have broken the dashes.js script. I minus sign no longer appears at the page top... just "auto ed." There talk about it at User talk:Ohconfucius/dashes.js. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:15, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- I'm seeing the same thing... use this amazing script all the time! Hope it can be fixed. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:00, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- Now fixed. Many thanks to User:William Avery for the workaround proposed. -- Ohc 11:26, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Still broken for me using Chrome. Microsoft Edge is also broken. Used shift-reload to reset the cache and it didn't work. No "-" at the page top, only "an auto ed" that brings up "AutoEd/core.js: autoEdFunctions is undefined". Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- The fix I applied was to User:Ohconfucius/dashes.js and not to the original script, which you have loaded. You need to ensure that my updated version is being imported in your common file. -- Ohc 22:10, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages screenshot licensing
Hello! I see that you uploaded File:Update screenshot for activating MOSNUM dates.png to Misplaced Pages. However, the GFDL has been phased out for new uploads on enwiki. To clarify the license of the image, would you be able to add {{Misplaced Pages-screenshot}} to the file description page? Thanks! HouseBlaster 21:20, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
MOSNUM Script
Hi. Thanks for the script! Are changes like ] to 1979, and ] to 1974, from Special:Diff/1112468928 an intended effect of the script? There are loads of these types of link in snooker articles. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:40, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Where should I ask for help on using MOSNUM_dates script?
Hello,
I've come across the use of the script User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM_dates
I'd appreciate a pointer as to where I can ask for help in using the script bearing in mind that I've no idea how to use scripts to edit Misplaced Pages - I have had a look at the MOSNUM_dates page and just run into a brick wall (there are too many terms used of which I have negligible or less understanding).
In particular, I'd like to learn how to use the script to force the use of yyyy-mm-dd in access and archive dates in article citations (in line with Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Consistency).
(I did read that "Users are invited to manually add |cs1-dates=
parameter to {{Use dmy dates}} or {{Use mdy dates}} causing applicable dates to be rendered in 2024-12-28 YMD format" but I can't work out what that means.)
Thank you.

Issue with dashes script
Hi Ohconfucius! This edit to Vicenza (made by Kj cheetham) broke the comment in the reference, so I have reverted it. Could you please tweak the script to avoid this in the future? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 19:13, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Good spot, I hadn't noticed that when I skimmed over the proposed changes! -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:39, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Zhang hongbao.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Zhang hongbao.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:34, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
American English script false positive
Hi! It's been a while. Are you still maintaining the ENGVAR conversion scripts? I just got a false positive with the name Schelling when converting to American English. Test it on Schelling's model of segregation. Cheers, MClay1 (talk) 13:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Updates to an info box on the PCCW page
Hi Ohconfucius. I disclosed a conflict of interest and proposed an infobox for the Lenovo PCCW Solutions sub-section of the PCCW page. You can see my requests here. I saw that you were one of the largest contributors to the page and was hoping you might be willing to take a look at my request. Let me know. Best regards. StuartGill (talk) 17:10, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
Flag script
Hi! I've been trying to get rid of the flag overload in this page, and thought the FLAG –> COUNTRY option would do that for me. But it doesn't – am I doing it wrong, or is there a glitch with the script? Or is the page perhaps too large? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:33, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Sentence spacing
Hi -- would you be willing to disable the part of your general formatting script that turns two spaces between sentences into a single space? I've had to revert this several times on various articles when other editors have edited articles I'm the primary editor for, and then re-add the other useful parts of the edit. It's a cosmetic edit that has no effect on the displayed article, and it's something that is always intentional on the part of the editor who wrote the article -- who is usually the person who's going to go on and do further work on it. I know this has come up before, and I don't know if you have a reason for not removing this functionality, or just haven't got around to it, but I would really appreciate it if you could cut this. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:12, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Just reverted another of these: this edit appears to have been done with your script. Would you please remove this functionality? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Just saw that you fixed this. Thank you! I really appreciate it and I know there are others who feel the same way. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:00, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
