Knowledge (XXG) changed its formatting as it worked prior to that update but that's life. I'm glad to see you have returned and I hope to get to know you better here, @ClockworkSoul. I understand the hesitancy with going through the RfA process. It can be extremely stressful. I think you are taking the best approach with spending time just to be an editor. We need more admins that remain connected to the community with an understanding that being an admin is service to the community rather than authority over the community. I think we have a good admin corps and I'm sure you will know when the time is right and be successful at whatever path you choose at that time. Remember that you are a Song and a Storyteller so let that Rainbow shine, full of vibrant Colors. --

4415: 4016: 852: 2753:!5 years seems like a long time but it goes by in a flash. I'm sure there are struggles and experiences you have dealt with in that time which have changed you but your base colors, your base character traits, never change. You have had to be so strong and caring for your child. This project and this community is just happy you found your way back and now can contribute your uniqueness to the overall goal of building this encyclopedia. If you ever need assistance with anything I am just a talk page or an email away. Thanks for helping and for pinging me 1393: 1624: 2002: 4461: 3258: 877: 1739: 2199: 1859: 1512: 1273: 1160: 989: 786: 675: 541: 449: 188: 3639: 663: 3843: 3226: 3160: 2696:. I'm glad to be back. Regarding the RfA... 15 years ago I was a student with a lot more free time. Now I have a full-time job and a son with special needs. I still fully intend to contribute to the project, but maybe the admin path is a level of responsibility I can't meet? In either case, I'm not making any decisions now: I'll contribute and re-learn for a few months, and see how I feel in the future. – 4236: 3068: 1098: 392: 354: 316: 3489: 181: 3437: 868: 4730: 4598: 4337: 3938: 3558: 4670: 4169: 479:. Our regional group is engaged in a strategic planning process to sharpen our strategy for the next three years, and we would like your input.

They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future.

and saw those naughty IPs. I see that you were previously an admin several years back. I'm not gonna comment on your request for reinstatement (tho I do agree that you should go through RFA again considering Knowledge (XXG) was much different back when you were an admin than it is now) since it's way

As the person who did a lot of the behind the scenes work for Jack's RfA (and am among the most active nominators of people more generally) I think that's exactly the right model to look at. I think one of the best places we can find new admins is old admins and so I would be genuinely excited about

I think i've fixed all the linter errors. I noticed that you used "-moz-border-radius" which I had never seen before. I googled it and it told me that it used to be for compatibility with different browsers which shouldn't be needed anymore (in this case it was to make it work in mozilla browsers) ―

A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then

now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out

Hi Blaze Wolf! It's a pleasure to wiki-meet you! While I'm not wild about the idea of going through RfA again (it's not a very fun process being weighed for worthiness), the reasoning is sound. Until then there's more than enough things that I can do without a mop, and I'm looking forward to seeing

and @ClockworkSoul, I'm not sure that changing the format to just the header fixed all the issues but it did make it to where myself or any of my talk page watchers didn't have to keep moving the format down manually. That became tiresome and too much a burden on others. It's unfortunate that

I'm glad you're back, and appreciate your work on the kindness campaign many years ago. I'm too new to have seen it in action, but I've dug around in the archives and seen your name. Looking forward to having you around. Let me know if you would like any sub-admin user rights. Also, perhaps

On the second point; that's an automated message, and the reason or things that need to be done may differ slightly from case to case. Most draftified articles tend to come from newer users, thus the message is more aimed at them. However, I am willing to take a second look on articles I've

No, we had to manually request deletion! From the one administrator of the day! And he was a goat! And we had to write it on a message and mail it to him! Stamps were only 2 cents back then. 😉 Seriously though, it's really nice to see that the tooling has evolved. –

No problem! It actually wasn't all that hard since I just searched for the deprecated tags and replaced them with the alternative. I was going to get rid of your formatting for your talk messages but I can't actually seem to find where it starts. ―

Much appreciated! Thank you for your advice. I'll definitely roll it around. I haven't entirely given up on the RfA thing, but I'm in no rush. I'll contribute and see what happens in a few weeks. –

Thank you for your thoughts. What, in your opinion, would qualify as a resource that's more reliable than the specification? I agree, however, that the article could do more to establish notability.
