Well, that's Wikipedia lol! You should check out Twinkle, a gadget you can add in your preferences that makes certain tasks easier, such as reverting, placing notices/warnings on talk pages, etc. S0091 (talk) 16:34, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback on tutorial

Hi WhatHowWhy! We're looking to make some improvements to the new editor tutorial, and I noticed you recently completed it, so I was wondering whether you might have any feedback for us. Was it clear? Did it help you learn the things you were looking to learn? (You mentioned above that the reading was long; was that the tutorial?) Your thoughts would be much appreciated! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 02:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh, I didn't know I was one of the first to take the revamped one! S0091 threw a whole bunch of links at me, and I went through a large part of them, focusing on the anti-vandalism links and policy. I also did parts of the tutorial while doing all that. The tutorial was helpful, and it certainly taught me things about citations and features of the code editor I didn't know about at all. I am not sure I can really give you an opinion on the length of the tutorial itself, since I was reading other stuff concurrently to it and it all melded together in my mind.

Thanks! I am amazed at some of the vandalism I see on Wikipedia, some people have some really odd kinks. WhatHowWhy (talk) 15:35, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The longer you are here, the stranger it becomes. You may find this one amusing. Also, be prepared for some "nasty" messages, like this] but I was impressed by by this. :) S0091 (talk) 16:00, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ASCII art promoting vandalism, kewl :). WhatHowWhy (talk) 14:55, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
