Deleted topic

Could you give me a more detail explanation of why you deleted this topic "Outlook templates (.oft file) have different behaviors on browsers" (archive, do not add new topics.) . .

Thanks. Noindicaotro (talk) 15:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

As it shows in the sidebar of that page, "This page is an archive. Do not add new topics here. Please ask new questions at Project:Support desk instead." --Clump (talk) 17:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Noindicaotro (talk) 07:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Deleted redirect

Hi Clump :) Can I ask why you deleted this redirect in my userspace? I’m not sure if mediawikiwiki has different norms in this regard than other wikis I’ve contributed to (apologies if so); but, in general, I like keeping redirects as a result of moves within my userspace.

• Hi. Keeping the redirect doesn't seem useful in any way---no one else will use it, nothing links to it, and you yourself renamed/moved it, so why would there be any point to keeping it? --Clump (talk) 15:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

  I guess my thoughts are, what’s the point in deleting it? Redirects are cheap, and I like having it left behind in my userspace — if nothing else, as a record of a title within my userspace that used to hold a page. Apologies if I’ve worded this badly, but - to be completely honest - I’m having trouble seeing what the benefit of deleting it was: I can’t see that its deletion has solved any problems, and (in this case) it resulted in me being confused and starting this thread on your talk page asking about it.

  It is the essence of an "unneeded redirect" for the reasons I mentioned above. --Clump (talk) 17:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Reverts

Is there a specific reason that you undid adding of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/reviewer:rahkooy@gmail.com to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Reviewers and cleaning up old reviewers. If I messed up the syntax please let me know. Physikerwelt (talk) 16:06, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

• Was that IP edit you? There's no obvious canonical truth for that page, but in general, it's hard to trust a random IP edit made without even an explanatory comment, especially when the edit removes or changes things for other users. --Clump (talk) 16:13, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

  Alright, I was not logged in. I would just w:Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith if the edit makes sense in general. Thank you. Physikerwelt (talk) 16:44, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

  • Someone adding themselves to that page seems relatively benign. Someone removing two others with no explanation seems less so---an edit summary would've been helpful to avoid the confusion. --Clump (talk) 17:38, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

    I really appreciate that you help to maintain the project. I will write a commit message in the future and double check that I'm logged in and I understand that is very very hard to assume good faith for people that are not logged in and don't write useful commit messages, but maybe it's a good mental workout to try anyhow.

My work

I can also stop my work entirely if pointless reverts continue to be made or at least no reasons are given Justman10000 (talk) 16:25, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

• Please stop with the hyperbole. Your edit was manifestly incorrect. --Clump (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Deleted translation

Hello,Clump.Thanks for your contribution in Mediawiki. I want to know why you think of this page uses mechanical translation. If it is because I did not follow the English version of the writing, then my understanding is that it can better explain this script to Chinese readers. And this is a precedent for reference.Thanks.--人间百态 (talk) 13:10, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello 人间百态. I didn't necessarily think it was mechanical, just incorrect/low quality in the sense that your translation omitted the translation variables and template in the original source. --Clump (talk) 13:20, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

OK,thanks for your reply. 人间百态 (talk) 13:31, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Category

Please give me at least ONE minute to fill the newly created category before you delete it. Thank you! Bináris^talk 19:47, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

• Moot now I assume, given that the 2nd version you made requested deletion. --Clump (talk) 19:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Deletion of translation page

Hello, can you explain why you deleted some of the translation pages I had created: Translations:Project:Autoconfirmed users/4/hi, Translations:Project:Autoconfirmed users/1/hi and Translations:Project:Autoconfirmed users/3/hi as "Not a translation"? Svartava (talk) 03:55, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Because a vandal edited the unit and Clump failed to notice there was a prior version to revert to. I've undeleted the last two - the first one wasn't actually created by you. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 06:19, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

@Pppery: Thanks for the undeletion and clarification! Svartava (talk) 06:24, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Help:Magic words

The duplicate headers was the issue hence the anchor, I removed the anchor to localization, but kept the other anchors. Partial revert could have been better called for. Waddie96 (talk) 20:07, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

• I see---for "Localization" only though. The other anchor isn't necessary, and given that you changed the heading to "Localization (main)" that additional anchor is also unnecessary. In general, please use the edit comment field to explain your edits. --Clump (talk) 20:20, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

FYI

In Special:Diff/7069473, I think you accidentally re-added some sections that had been automatically archived, & accidentally removed some comments/new sections. I've (hopefully) fixed it now, so it should all be okay, but just wanted to let you know FYI :) All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 15:00, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

• Yes, that was certainly accidental. Thanks for fixing it. --Clump (talk) 15:04, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

  No problem :) Best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 15:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Sorry about this, I misread et as el in the translation title. Svartava (talk) 16:16, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

no problem, I didn't notice the difference right away either. --Clump (talk) 16:17, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
