A question

Hi Pigsonthewing, Special:Diff/9601478 Are there any benefits to this change? I deleted it because it seemed like it was randomly placed in articles. Wooze (talk) 16:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

@Wooze: Your edit was correct. There is discussion of the underlying issue at Wikispecies:Administrators' Noticeboard#Recent barrage of IP edits. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Please don't delete Main Page Uzbek version

Hello @Pigsonthewing please don't delete the Uzbek language version, this time it is fully translated:) Mirishkorlik (talk) 07:04, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Userpage content

Hello, I have a question about a user/userpage I've run across. I know from my multiple years of editing on enwiki, that while there's some general leeway given for users to have off-topic content on their userpage to personalize their space, that there is also a point at which "no webhosting" goes into effect, and I'm wondering if this is the case here.

User:Eajaz, with 18 edits (all Dec 2011, nothing since), has only ever edited their userpage. The 31KB page does not appear to have any focus on animals/species, but appears to be multiple religious based passages (granted I don't know the language personally and was using a translator). Since they haven't edited outside of that one page, it's giving me the impression of noncontributing webhoster.

I was ran across it when addressing some of the remaining Misnested tag errors here on Species and didn't want to invest the time in fixing these syntax issues if the page was running afoul of webhosting, since pages with RtoL languages are harder to fix in a LtoR environment than LtoR languages are. Wondered your take on this. Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 16:01, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Zinnober9: I've deleted the user page since it contained links to several external pages containing spam, including links to one web page that is hosting malware. The user hasn't made any edits to any of the other Wikimedia projects: Eajaz (talk • contribs • block log • all projects)

Excellent, thank you! Zinnober9 (talk) 19:23, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

AutoWikiBrowser checkpage

Hi Andy. I saw that you recently added yourself to the user list on Wikispecies:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage. That checkpage is outdated and not actually used anymore. Hence, I took the liberty to add your user name to the current one as well, i.e. Wikispecies:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON. Not that it really matters: I think that all administrator accounts are automatically approved for using the AWB software, even without registration.

It was an attempt to resolve (or at least test) this issue. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
