About an reverted edit



Hi i saw you reverted my edit at article Tv Klan ↗, unwikilinkes E Diela Shqiptare ↗, my edit was correct becouse E Diela Shqiptare is Sunday marathon program broadcasting currently at TV Klan ↗ and references shows that.

Fishy smell coming from the Baltic sea



I know of the type of schemes your community is involved in, but i'm still gathering more information and proof of what you are doing. I just want to let you know that it ain't right, Wikipedia is not a tool, it's an encyclopedia, and I'm willing to fight with everything that is allowed to protect it.

And please, don't threat me with a ban, the truth is on my side and you know it. Gigman (talk) 08:56, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

Scam propagation



Sorry, it really wasn't a good idea to revert a scam-ish edit but then propagate it in your edit summary. This is about https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tokorpria162662&curid=81423576&diff=1318665390&oldid=1318639008 ↗. I'm going to contact the person who suppressed the revisions from the history to suppress your edit summary as well. Largoplazo (talk) 15:10, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

:Yes, it's best to avoid including potential personal information in edit summaries. While it's probably just a spam number, people have posted personal numbers before. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 15:27, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
::I think I simply copied the whole translated message and didn't think much about it. I should have deleted the number. Thanks! — Chrisahn (talk) 16:11, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
:Told you things are shady here... Gigman (talk) 15:31, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
::Yes, I'm actually getting paid by the Mossad and the KGB to edit Wikipedia. In my spare time, I spread NATO propaganda and crypto scams. — Chrisahn (talk) 16:13, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
:::If you were indeed paid by the KGB, your position on baltic infoboxes would've been different. Gigman (talk) 21:34, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
::::I do not yet have a position on Baltic infoboxes. I'm awaiting instructions by my handlers. — Chrisahn (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::You have and you have explained it in the discussion on a notice board.... Gigman (talk) 04:53, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::No, I really don't have a position on Baltic infoboxes. In particular, I don't have a position on whether birth places should specify Estonia ↗ or Estonian SSR ↗ or something else. You apparently misunderstood my messages at WP:ANI. Read them again. (In case you also misunderstood my previous comment: When I wrote "I do not yet have a position on Baltic infoboxes", I actually meant it. The sentence "I'm awaiting instructions by my handlers" was a joke.) — Chrisahn (talk) 08:40, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Chrisahn. Per your request, your account has been <span class="plainlinks">granted ↗</span> {{mono|temporary-account-viewer}} rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts ↗ that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is <strong>only</strong> to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer ↗ for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:
It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:
Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences ↗.

Guide to temporary accounts



Hello, Chrisahn. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

'''Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed.''' Instead, they will have a '''temporary account ↗''' (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer ↗ (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

Great addition with the explanation of the name. I thought that was mentioned already in some fashion. Also, there is a widget called proveit that makes it much easier to format. I dont know if that works with visual editor or mobile, but I use it extensively in source edits. ←Metallurgist (talk) 18:59, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks! The visual editor has a feature that takes URLs and creates {{tl|Cite web}} instances with parameters. Works reasonably well, but I'll also take a look at Wikipedia:ProveIt ↗. Thanks for the hint! — Chrisahn (talk) 19:03, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

November 2025



30px|alt=Stop icon ↗ Your recent editing history at :Gaza genocide ↗ shows that you are currently engaged in an '''edit war ↗'''. An ''edit war'' occurs when two or more users begin repeatedly reverting content on a page in a back-and-forth fashion to restore it back to how they think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree with their changes. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or undo the edits made by other editors when your changes are reverted. Instead, please use the '''talk page ↗''' to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus ↗ among the editors involved. The best practice at this time is to ''stop editing the page'' and to discuss the disagreements, issues, and concerns at-hand with the other editors involved in the dispute. Wikipedia provides a page that helps to detail how this is accomplished ↗. If discussions reach an impasse, you can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard ↗, or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection ↗ while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in being blocked from editing ↗'''&mdash;especially as the page in question is currently under restrictions from the Arbitration Committee ↗, if you violate the one-revert rule ↗, which states that an editor must not perform more than one revert ↗ on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you do not violate the one-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<br />''Invoke is more appropriate.''<!-- Template:uw-1rr --> Achmad Rachmani (talk) 13:21, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics


{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the Balkans or Eastern Europe''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics <em>procedures</em>, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> TylerBurden (talk) 13:10, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Moving



It seems I've misremembered WP:TALKOFFTOPIC ↗.

Chrisahn. Please don't start edit-warring across multiple bios, just because you're challenging an RFC close. ''IF'' your attempts to overturn is successful? than those changes can be reverted. Otherwise, the changes by the other editor, is correct. GoodDay (talk) 17:37, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

:Several editors have expresses their concerns with the RFC close. See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles#Consensus still needed? ↗.

Tomer capone



Hello Christian,I saw you edited my page and you took notice to my requests in a very decent way-thank you for this .
at the moment my page is blocked to edit . I am currently under a false editorial manipulation online made to hurt my reputation and career in a very deliberate way-using an edited false quoted article which source material does not exist online.
the false “proofs” are troll based under non-existing links and screenshots,translated and twisted in a false manor to create a narrative that is simply not true.

more than damage my reputation -these false claims are generating, violent, hateful, antisemitic, racist responses towards me and around .

I kindly ask you to help me with this matter

thank you

here is the false part :

Capone discussed his military service in a 2016 interview with Ynet. He said he participated in arrests, checkpoint enforcement, and security operations, including during the Gaza disengagement and in Nablus. Toward the end of his service, accumulated exposure to violence culminated in a mental breakdown. In 2026, the interview resurfaced online during the release of The Boys season 5. Aspects of Capone's IDF service, such as the arrest of an 18-year-old Palestinian woman, were criticised. &#126;2026-25425-26 ↗ (talk) 17:44, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

You often describe it as a “programming language”, but that characterization may actually make it harder to understand what it is doing. Module:Params ↗ is a wikitext-oriented module focused on one single task: manipulating collections of strings. Its routines are loosely inspired by JavaScript <code>Array</code>'s instance methods ↗, and its syntax is inspired by jQuery's method chains.

In that sense, this

<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">$("#myElement")
.css("background-color", "blue")
.addClass("active")
.hide()
.etc...</syntaxhighlight>

might loosely remind of this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{#invoke:params|
excluding_non-numeric_names|
mapping_by_replacing|[^abdlp]+||
mapping_by_replacing|a|⏒ ||plain|
etc...
}}</syntaxhighlight>

The important point is that neither example is introducing a new programming language. In both cases, you start with an object and apply a sequence of transformations to it.

The main difference is that jQuery methods typically return a jQuery object that can be further manipulated, whereas in Module:Params ↗ the “object” is a collection of parameters that can be further manipulated. Conceptually the pattern is very similar: each step transforms the result of the previous one.

For that reason, it may be more useful to think of Module:Params ↗ as a collection-processing library. Its purpose is to apply declarative transformations to collections of key-value pairs. Once viewed from that perspective, many of its design choices become easier to understand.

If some aspects of the module still seem language-like to you, I would be genuinely interested in knowing which ones. I would be happy to discuss it further or answer any specific questions you may have. --Grufo (talk) 06:06, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

:The main difference is that a language introduces new syntax, and Module:Params does that, e.g. with <code>$#</code>, <code>$@</code>, <code>let</code>, etc. Also, how does the substack stuff in Module:Params work? I suspect that these substacks are basically unnamed variables and the Module:Params processing is stateful, but I may be mistaken.
:Anyway, it doesn't really matter whether Module:Params is a language or just a library. Either way, it's too complex and not a good fit for Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2026 June 16#Module:Params ↗ for more details. — Chrisahn (talk) 19:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::I just saw that you said this ↗ on your user talk page: "using Module:Params ↗ is not very different from actual programming". Sounds almost like it's a programming language. :-) — Chrisahn (talk) 15:30, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
