Useful links for me, myself, and I.

These are links to pages that I use often. Special:StablePages -- View a list of pages that have pending changes enabled. Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions -- Unlike other pages listed here, the Teahouse page is for everyone. I am one of the people who answer questions there. Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion -- This is a list of reasons why a page can be speedily deleted instead of being brought to Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion. As I quite frequently use #cvn-wp-en connect (an IRC channel dedicated to detecting possible vandalism) and Huggle (a tool used for detecting blatant vandalism, reverting it, and, if needed, giving the user a warning), this list is used quite often. Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences -- This is a link for my use only. If anyone else uses it, it will just redirect them to their Twinkle preferences or to a page prompting them to enable Twinkle in their Wikipedia preferences. Edit Counter by X! - This tool is mainly used by me as an edit counter. If anyone else wants to use this tool, they can go here. Edit filter log (803) - This filter monitors when unconfirmed or IP users attempt to make changes to other users' root user pages and stops any attempts at doing so. This was created in response to this RfC. Wikipedia:Username policy -- For use with the Account Creation Interface. There are other pages that I may add over time. If you feel there is a page I haven't listed here that you believe I would find useful, feel free to suggest it on my talk page. Updated 16:52, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
