User:Tol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! I'm Tol. I mostly do project-focused/backlog work. I do write some articles, but I mostly write code. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page — I appreciate feedback!

I run a bot, TolBot; I also have a legitimate alternate account for testing purposes, TolTest. I have other testing accounts; you can see them at Special:Log/newusers/Tol.

Some pages:

  • Dashboard and Regexes
  • Scripts:
    • VisualEditor Citation Needed, adds a citation needed button in VE (stable)
    • Logs, adds a button to view a page's logs in the content actions menu ("more" tab) (stable)
    • RealSVG, replaces SVG thumbnails with real SVGs (stable, some minor bugs)
    • AutoCleanup, which uses regexes to clean up pages (in progress)
    • Sparkle, a general purpose mess (nowhere near ready)
  • Logs ()
  • Sandbox
  • /diff.css, some CSS for formatting fake diffs
  • My userboxes
  • My common.js and common.css
  • Templates
  • Discussions that I opened or closed

Thank you for quality reviewing of new pages, for gnomish improvements such as adding template:authority control, for explaining "you need to copy edit the draft for tone and remove vague but positive wording", for the quiet Stanley Kubrick RfC close that ended a decade+ of warring, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
