Consensus required before restoration

On Donald Trump You inserted the material, MrX reverted, so you have to get consensus before restoring etc etc please self-revert Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:51, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Possible DS violation

Could you please point to the consensus for re-adding this, or self-revert? From where I sit, this appears to be a violation of the editing restriction: You must not reinstate any challenged (via reversion) edits without obtaining consensus on the talk page of this article, which I believe you're quite familiar with. If it's not clear, I challenge the material by removing it.- MrX 🖋 11:53, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

I am tired of you and your POV pushing. Go away from this talk page, please, and don’t come back, ever. You can see I have cited BLP in my edit summary. Now go away to whatever administrative forum you wish to abuse. If wikipedia had a jury-like system instead of the structure it has now, you would not be able to subvert the rules to advance your POV, as you do incessantly, and doubtless are about to do in the present case. Misplaced Pages is the biggest propaganda outfit on Earth, thanks to folks like you. Cheers. Anythingyouwant (talk) 11:59, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

AYW - I posed a question related to this dilemma on the TP of TonyBallioni. 13:20, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Anything, BLP does not say that this denial is required to be placed in the lead section. Anyway it only detracts from the narrative there to cram it with denials and on the other hands and so forth. SPECIFICO talk 13:22, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing

Hello,

There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Misplaced Pages, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Misplaced Pages:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Misplaced Pages. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
