[edit] Edit counter

Your edit counter seems to always give an edit count one number (1) below what Interiot's Tool One (1), why is that? Dreamy § 22:27, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

AmiDaniel's is wrong (and not always by 1), the way that Special:Contributions displays contribs changed, and Amidaniel's tool was not changed. Prodego talk 00:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday

I have found that you have protected the redirect on the Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday page. However, it should ideally redirect to the Swaminarayan Sampraday page and not the Bhagwan Swaminarayan page that it currently redirects to. Wheredevelsdare (talk) 00:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal proof how to?

Excuse me, how do I use vandal proof . Do I need to learn C++ or HTML codeing or something like that. I want to use vandal proof because I dont want anying "idoits" trying to "vandalize" my page.Rio de oro (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Nope, you don't need to learn any coding except wikicode. The program has convenient buttons for everything. Though you might have some trouble with the RSS feed not updating, it should pretty much work "out of the box" once you get approved. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 01:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
PS: I don't know how serious you are about calling an article your page, but you may want to read WP:OWN. If you know about that already, ignore this part of my message. :-)

[edit] Village stocks

Some things return to haunt you. An old action of yours was considered worthy of inclusion on WP:Village stocks, so I now present you with the following "award". :-) Gwinva (talk) 02:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

You have been sentenced to the Village Stocks
for reverting vandalism and posting your reversion on the main page

Hi again; concern was expressed at WT:Village stocks that not all those nominated for WP:STOCKS would be happy with inclusion, so I am inviting you to remove your name if you feel at all uncomfortable about its presence on the page. The page is intended to be humorous, and no one wishes it to cause annoyance or offence. Hoping you take all this in the spirit intended... Gwinva (talk) 22:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Red county

Would like to create "Red county" to balance out the Blue county I already created. Trying to create led to the Admistrator's noticeboard. Tried the Wikipedia Administrators' noticeboard but it's so busy that I get a consistent "Edit Conflict" when trying to post a question... can that attempt to create an article be unlocked? Noles1984 (talk) 13:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

The article is not "locked"; it's simply a redirect. You can edit it here. AmiDaniel (talk) 20:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I would like to second Bhudiya2 - the Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday page should redirect to the Swaminarayan Sampraday page not the Bhagwan Swaminarayan page. Wheredevelsdare (talk) 20:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question about anti-vandalism tools

Hi AmiDaniel!

I am an admin of a small gaming wikia. We don't really have a serious vandalism problem (we only had 3 such instances in the past week), but given the small number of editors, it's much easier for such cases to go unnoticed. That's why I was taking a look at various anti-vandalism tools.

I realized that in addition to fighting vandalism, they may present an excellent way to simply monitor changes to the wiki. So that I know when someone got confused with out complicated templates, or created an interesting page, or made an interesting comment, etc.

Among the current anti-vandalism tools, would you say any might actually serve this dual purpose?

And do you know any tools that would work on Wikia? (I believe your tool only works on wikipedia.)

Thank you,

Mmoroz (talk) 02:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] VP Breaking bug

Sorry to contact you directly about a bug but it's something of a programme breaker that's been reported on both the new bug tracker a month or so ago as well as on the VP bug reporting page on WP. There seems to be a large amount of people (myself included) whose username logged in is not recognised and who cannot log in on the VP login box when the programme is opened. Are you aware of this and do you know if there's a fix in the works a all? BigHairRef | Talk 23:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Search box position

Hi! Since you participated in the last discussion about where the "search" box should be located, I wanted to let you know that I've started another thread on the topic at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Move the search box directly beneath the puzzle globe. —Remember the dot (talk) 03:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
