ANI Scripts

Hi Random, what would I type if I wanted to use the "importScript" for your AN/I TOC marker and section collapse monobook additions? Also, for some reason Twinkle isn't working for me in the Modern skin. I noticed you said it worked for you, any idea why it wouldn't for me? Firefox 2.0.0.11. Thanks!

Template:Indefblockedbecause

Why does this put user pages in cat Temp user pages? Rich Farmbrough, 03:22 10 February 2008 (GMT).

I am concerned with the number of user-pages in this category, which means that they will be deleted. In particular, because of another warning template User talk:Thegone was deleted taking useful warnings with it. Rich Farmbrough, 13:40 10 February 2008 (GMT).

MFD for COI/N

Hi there. I'm inclined to close this discussion per WP:SNOW, but I wanted to see if you had some strong objection to my doing so. I think you're right about the conflict in the two guidelines, and you've gotten some good comments to that effect. I personally don't see the benefit in extending the MFD, but as I said, I wanted to see what you think. Thanks, Xymmax (talk) 20:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

deletion reason script

You wanted to know which tags you missed. I found one: {{db-empty}} -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: A3 is what I've seen it mostly used for. However, I've also seen some people using it instead of G7.
On a side note, one bug that I've run into that burned me on an attack page is that if somebody blanks a page, but doesn't tag it with a CSD tag, if you select a deletion reason, you end up the deletion reason and content before blanking was: 'whatever' in the deletion log. See User:Gogo Dodo/Sandbox2 for what happens. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Apology from him due

See Misplaced Pages:RFCU#Markanthony101, I think someone owes me an apology (the puppetmaster, not you). — RlevseTalk10:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Request for production of a magic word by a developer

Random832: A consensus appears to have been reached in support of a {{delimitnum}} parser function/magic word (detailed description here). From Jimp’s earlier posts on my talk page it appears that pulling off what is needed via a template would be suboptimal due to its complexity and the fact that numeric values may occasionally exceed 12 digits. You wrote on my talk page (here/difference) that a magic word is the best technique to handle this. How can this request be presented to a developer? Can you help?
