Senin İngilizce kötü. Makalesi Aleyna Tilki'in hakkında üstünde yazardın, çoğunluğu İngilizce yanlışdı.

Voltaire's web series

Noticed your recent edit on Aurelio Voltaire. You might want to consider adding more sources in line with the statement, "Voltaire has made a web series called Gothic Homemaking...". Youtube as a source is considered unverifiable and "should not be used at all" according to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Let me know your thoughts. HotTomatoe (talk) 10:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

@HotTomatoe: I didn't even consider the validity of the reference, to be honest – I just noticed the article was in Category:Articles with permanently dead external links and went to try and fix the link. Since it is his "Official Artist Channel" (indicated by the small music note next to the channel name), I think this should be fine as a primary source to confirm the series exists, but I agree that a non-YouTube, non-primary source would be a safer bet, so I've added one and rewritten the sentence in question. – Rummskartoffel (talk • contribs) 11:51, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Yeah just double checking if you would consider. Thank you for your insights! :) HotTomatoe (talk) 09:36, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Sincereduck

Hello Rummskartoffel. So regarding the Brandon Rogers site, If you look through the whole site top and bottom, you would notice that it said he is an ordained minister. So yes I believe that you have made a little mistake. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sincereduck (talkcontribs) 21:31, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Sincereduck, I know the Wikia article says he's an ordained minister. That's not the problem. The problem is that Wikia is not a reliable source, because it consists mostly of user-generated content, so it can't be used to support that claim. If you can find a reliable source that confirms he's an ordained minister, feel free to re-add it. – Rummskartoffel (talk • contribs) 21:44, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Are you able to help with another Lua problem?

Hello Rummskartoffel,

First off, thanks for submitting that edit request for the side box code!

I have another problem that I'm hoping you can assist with. I'm trying to make it possible to make Template:Mbox, Template:Ombox and Template:Tmbox small and left-aligned; while it (somewhat) works, it seems that it overrides the right-aligned small message box for the templates which have that function. I'd like it to be possible to keep the current functionality while also allowing for left-aligned boxes. Links to the testcases are on this page: Module_talk:Message_box#Fully-protected_edit_request_on_27_June_2021.

It seems also that Tmbox doesn't work quite right with the left-aligned box: it's supposed to be the same width as the other types of box without the variable width parameters, but that's not happening. I'm not sure what's wrong there either.

Hoping you'll be able to figure this out, since I'm very confused about this.

Thanks, DesertPipeline (talk) 03:53, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

@DesertPipeline: Since there's opposition to adding this type of functionality (which I agree with – I don't currently see the need for it, either, though I'm not exactly very strongly opposed to it), I'm not willing right now to try and implement it. But I've watchlisted Template talk:Ambox and Module talk:Message box and will be following along with the discussion there; if you manage to obtain consensus for the change, I'd be happy to help in realising it. – Rummskartoffel 09:11, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Morse template

I've done a draft and got some test cases at User:Spinningspark/Sandbox#Morse test cases if you would care take a look with your text browser. Thanks. SpinningSpark 15:22, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: Looks pretty good to me (screenshot). One thing I noticed was that there appear to be two leading spaces – are those intentional? They shouldn't be a problem, but they make wrapping lines look a bit weird. – Rummskartoffel 16:51, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
They are kind of intentional, but really just poor coding. Each element ends in a space, but a new letter requires three spaces. Those are the two extra spaces ready for the next letter. They would be better put at the end, but they are used in so many tables now I am worried that something somewhere will look bad and we won't notice. What do you think? If we both agree we can share the blame! I can't get rid of them altogether (they need to either be at the front or the back) without requiring the user to mark the final letter of a word with a parameter. I don't want to add that extra complexity. SpinningSpark 17:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
@Spinningspark: I'd say, while not great, back might be better. That wouldn't cause things to be weirdly indented, at least. – Rummskartoffel 20:22, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
One problem that occured to me for space at the back is that where {{morse}} is used inline at the end of a sentence, it will space the period (or other punctuation) away from the end of the sentence (or clause). This will be highly noticable and the user won't be able to get rid of it. On the other hand a leading space inline doesn't really look wrong. With the main use in tables of characters the leading space really isn't a problem. Where it is really noticeable is where the code string wraps on to multiple lines, then it's obvious that the first line is indented. However, I don't know anywhere the template is used for long strings like this. The fundamental problem is that I cannot tell if this is the first/final character and suppress the space because each new character is a new invocation of the template. What I can do is introduce an optional parameter to suppress it for cases where it is problematic. That way existing uses won't be affected at all. SpinningSpark 08:42, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Can you try copy-pasting some of the test cases into Lynx please? That is, with a screen scrape. I'm told this isn't working, but I don't believe it as it copies fine into Notepad. SpinningSpark 11:19, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: What do you mean by that? I can't exactly paste anything into a browser. – Rummskartoffel 11:37, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
I can paste into my terminal as well as copy from Lynx just fine, if that's the question. – Rummskartoffel 11:40, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
I don't understand the complaint either. I'm inclined to ignore it. SpinningSpark 18:54, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
@Spinningspark: If it was made on-wiki, can you point me there for context? – Rummskartoffel 19:56, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
I didn't link it because I had allowed what was initially a reasonable complaint to turn into a rather bad-tempered conversation. But since you ask, it is at User talk:Jidanni#Template:Morse. My last comment might show that the user simply has a misunderstanding of the test cases. SpinningSpark 14:48, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I'm still not sure what they meant about copying and pasting, but I don't see a problem. FWIW, they are right about one thing at least: these block characters are in fact not ASCII, but Unicode Block Elements. Not that I think it matters. – Rummskartoffel 17:13, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Can you make this use

navigator.clipboard.writeText();

and

mw.notify()

as User:Nardog/CopySectLink does.
Thanks! ― Qwerfjkltalk 22:38, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

@Qwerfjkl  Done. Let me know if there are any issues. – Rummskartoffel 11:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, please include the fallback method as well (navigator.clipboard.write() doesn't work for me, probably a mobile issue)
This?
let $input = $('<input>', {
				type: 'text',
				value: text,
				readonly: '',
				style: 'position:absolute;left:-999px'
			}).appendTo(document.body);
			$input[0].select();
			document.execCommand('copy');
			$input.remove();
			mw.notify(`Probably copied "${text}"`);

@Qwerfjkl: What browser are you using? Also, why would you request a feature you know doesn't work on your browser?
I'll see what I can do. – Rummskartoffel 12:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
I'm sure I read somewhere that the first method is better (from Nardog, I think.) ― Qwerfjkltalk 12:20, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl: It is, but if you request that I use a certain feature I assume you know it'll work for you. Anyway,  done. – Rummskartoffel 13:01, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
Hmm... I just get an error message. ― Qwerfjkltalk 15:01, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl: Hmm, how strange. If only there were somebody who could tell me what the message actually says, so that I could look into it... if only... well, I guess the script is just going to have to stay broken forever :(
More seriously: that kind of feedback is supremely unhelpful for everyone involved. When you're reporting an error, give all the details upfront. Don't make the people you're reporting it to painstakingly squeeze the facts out of you. That's the most basic rule of bug reports. – Rummskartoffel 18:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
Sorry! It only gives the simple error message:
Error: Unable to copy wikitext to clipboard ― Qwerfjkltalk 21:41, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl: Huh. That means navigator.clipboard.writeText exists in your browser, but fails, probably due to a permission error. I didn't properly handle that, because I'm not aware of any browser where that is the case. I'll fix it, but can you tell me what browser you're using (including version) and on which OS (also including version)? It might be possible for you to just enable the feature. – Rummskartoffel 09:06, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 Done. You wouldn't also happen to have access to your browser's console? If you do, is there any message starting with "navigator.clipboard.writeText rejected with", and what does it say after "with"? – Rummskartoffel 09:43, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I'm on an Amazon Kindle Fire, Silk Browser. It still doesn't work, and unfortunately I cannot see the console. User:Qwerfjkl/test2.js didn't work either. ― Qwerfjkltalk 08:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Regarding the version, I'm not sure, but the device is relatively new (10 months old). ― Qwerfjkltalk 08:23, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I use an old browser app with the latest version of WebView on my phone, and writeText fails (returns DOMException "write permission denied"). It's why I added the fallback in the first place. It does work on Chrome and Firefox on the same phone, however. I assume the browser doesn't bother to ask access to the clipboard because the API is fairly new. Nardog (talk) 11:13, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl: Okay, thanks for the info. Turns out some of the (completely overkill) styling I put on the input element to make sure it's hidden causes copying to fail in certain browsers. Try again now. – Rummskartoffel 20:02, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, that seems to have worked. ― Qwerfjkltalk 07:24, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Signature

Hi! While this is not strictly encyclopedic...I like your signature. How did you do it? ChromaNebula (talk) 18:24, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

@ChromaNebula: Here's the full markup:
[[User talk:Rummskartoffel|<span style="font-weight:normal;background:linear-gradient(90deg,#e40303,#ff8c00,#ffed00,#008026,#004dff,#750787);color:transparent;background-clip:text;-webkit-background-clip:text;">Rummskartoffel</span>]]
The rainbow colouring is created as a background with a horizontal linear gradient through the colours of the gay pride flag, background-clip: text makes that background be displayed only underneath the text, and color: transparent removes the text's colour so the background can be seen through it. -webkit-background-clip: text is necessary because browsers like Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Edge don't support the standard background-clip, and font-weight: normal prevents the text from becoming bold when I post on my own talk page.

Help needed for connecting two articles

Hey! I hope you doing well! I want to link Iranian leather industry to صنعت چرم ایران like other articles, because they are same subject but there is no option... maybe it's because I'm on my phone browser? Sara Ghazanfarian (talk) 23:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Sara Ghazanfarian, looks like you're right, that button doesn't exist on mobile. You can temporarily switch to the desktop version using the "Desktop" link at the very bottom of the page, connect the articles using "Add interlanguage links" in the "Tools" menu, then switch back with the "Mobile view" link at the bottom of the page.
