Hey



all episodes of Sesame Street has been counted since 4731 by the muppet wiki which watches every single episode of Sesame Street Astrawiki3203 (talk) 00:01, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Review on Brooklyn ↗ edit



Olgen, I see you made edits on an article about Brooklyn ↗, one of New York City ↗'s five boroughs. I have recently edited the top bio for the second time this year. (the first one I duplicated the term "most populous of the five") - I hope you can take your time and review (here ↗) what I did and see what I messed up. Thanks. If any, respond if you can. DBrown SPS (talk) 00:34, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

:@DBrown SPS Hi there. Looks great! I prefer how you've organized the info over what had existed prior. I'd be inclined to delink ''Brooklyn was consolidated in and annexed ↗'' (given that a second link to the ''City of Greater New York'' article is at the end of the same sentence), but in general it's a solid update. Thanks for the opportunity to weigh in! – SirOlgen (talk) 16:23, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|SirOlgen}} Thanks for the feedback, buddy. DBrown SPS (talk) 23:25, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Question about fixes to Linter background color issues in Infoboxes



Hey there! Thanks for fixing Linter background color issues in templates. Over the past few days, I have fixed a few hundred infobox templates, along with a few related templates and modules, which should result in a few million errors being fixed (not exaggerating; :Module:Userbox ↗ (see diff ↗) alone has 334K transclusions).

I am stuck on a few infobox templates and wonder if you were interested in having a look. I've been working on clearing up this list of Infobox pages ↗, and I have reduced it from nearly 5,000 entries to under 1,600. Most of the remaining errors just need the /sandbox synced with the corrected code to clear errors on the testcases page, but I am seeing remaining errors on a few pages that I haven't figured out. For example, :Template:Infobox college basketball team/testcases ↗ shows errors. If you wouldn't mind taking a look, I would be grateful. Feel free to make edits to the relevant /sandbox pages, or to the template pages themselves if you are confident and have the necessary permissions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:32, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
:Update: I found the issue at :Module:College color ↗. In one situation, a foreground color was not being specified. This will fix as many as 133K pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:40, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
::Didn't see your update until after posting my initial response. Yeah, some of instances are more adept at hiding than others. Nice fix!
::– SirOlgen (talk) 18:14, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
:::I'm down to 95 pages in Template space that start with "Infobox" ↗, from an initial count of about 5,000. The page does not list all of the affected infoboxes, but fixing these pages has fixed many pages that transclude infoboxes. I haven't gotten stuck yet, but I need to sleep and look at the list with a fresh mind in the morning. Happy editing! Thanks for inspiring me to dig in to this endless list of templates that contain dark mode issues. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:16, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
::::{{re|Jonesey95}} You've made a tremendous amount of progress for one day... your list was sizeable when I looked at it earlier this afternoon. I've been abnormally tied-up today.
::::In general I've been focused on missing end tag errors in the Article space, but after fixing those will look for any citation and other Lint errors to resolve before moving on. Templates have been a prevalent source of the dark mode errors, and I've definitely noticed that template transclusions offer some serious low-hanging fruit in terms of chipping away at the total error count. The only errors I am reluctant to try and fix are the ones in the Lua modules, but I'll probably work up the nerve to start dabbling in that space at some point.
::::In any case, happy hunting!
::::– SirOlgen (talk) 03:51, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for working on those missing end tags. We got them down to one-per-article after many years of work, and what remains is a bit tedious. I try to do twenty or thirty per day. As for navboxes and dark mode, if you decide that you want to work on a batch of them, this search currently turns up over 9,000 templates ↗. There will be some false positives in there, but most of them will need work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:33, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::@Jonesey95 Thanks for the search list. I've been muddling with end tags for so long that I'm really enjoying the relative simplicity of the dark mode navbox fixes this morning... once I wrap up the "Golden whatever" awards templates I'm currently working through, I'll maybe delve into your list a bit. SirOlgen (talk) 17:51, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::@Jonesey95 I see your Infobox list is down to a seemingly impenetrable few (I was able to clear one NCAA-related error, but the rest are head-scratchers).
:::::One thing I did notice while rummaging around was that Module:Infobox/styles.css ↗ looks to declare a background-color attribute without a color attribute for '''.infobox-subbox'''. I'm just wondering if adding ''color:inherit'' after the ''background-color:transparent'' would do anything to move the needle. Looking at the rendered html source for Template:Infobox_software_licence, I can see the '''.infobox-subbox''' definition there... maybe that's causing Linter some grief?
:::::It looks like Module:Infobox/styles.css ↗ is template-protected, so beyond my reach if you want to try fiddling with it.
:::::– SirOlgen (talk) 00:06, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::I added color:inherit there, but I suspect it was not actually causing a problem, since that page is transcluded in 4.7 million pages and I wasn't seeing them come up on my radar. As for the remaining pages on the infobox list linked above, some are caused by {{tl|Format TemplateData}}, for which I have submitted a fix request. Some are caused by {{tl|Adjacent stations}}, the code for which is beyond my programming abilities; it will get fixed at some point if this error ever becomes a priority. I'm happy with the list as it stands now. It was a fun little project. I have submitted a few other change requests at other template pages where a Lua module programmer is needed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:15, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
:Howdy. I'll definitely have a look, thanks for asking. Some of these errors definitely get a bit convoluted, seeming to dead-end or become circular. I'm definitely no stranger to hitting walls on these.

RNZAC was Disbanded on 5 December 2025



RNZAC was Disbanded on 5 December 2025, check the former Regimental Colonels final statement all Regular Army RNZAC personnel Are members of the 1st Bn RNZIR, please desist in changing the RNZAC, this has been reported on in the Newspapers, Defence Journal and reported on TV 3 Exsap (talk) 02:29, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Exsap}} That may be, but the appropriate way to convey this information in a Wikipedia article would be to briefly summarize the "message from the Regimental Colonel" and then add a reference to a verifiable copy, not publish the message in its entirety with no citation. I haven't been able to find a suitable reference to use, but if you have it, I'd recommend adding it to avoid ongoing reverts. Thanks. – 03:06, 24 December 2025 (UTC) SirOlgen (talk) 03:06, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

::::The errors are how I found it, then I saw how it looked like a copied email sort of format, and none of it looked encyclopedic or reliably sourced.

Linter edits on code tags



Hi,
I've reverted your edit ↗ at Code golf ↗ because you erroneously assumed {{code|''}} was an empty italics tag, but it was actually part of a program's source code used as an example. Please avoid editing {{code|<nowiki>{{pre}}</nowiki>}} tags if you do not understand them. <sup><span style="background-color:black"><b style="color:limegreen">themoon</b><b style="color:limegreen">@talk</b><span style="color:white">:<b style="color:steelblue">~</b>$</span></span></sup> 10:39, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

:{{ping|Themoonisacheese}} Thanks for eventually addressing the Linter error after reversion.
:I did notice the code example now ends with a >. Presumably that was intentional given your technical erudition.
:Regards — SirOlgen (talk) 18:17, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
::yes, that was also intentional. using nowiki tags also surfaced it getting interpreted and removed. <sup><span style="background-color:black"><b style="color:limegreen">themoon</b><b style="color:limegreen">@talk</b><span style="color:white">:<b style="color:steelblue">~</b>$</span></span></sup> 18:32, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Linter edits, closing brackets


Just wanted to make you aware that the closing brackets removed here ↗ were actually part of the "plainlist" template. Just an FYI. Best, <span style="background:#ff0000;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#FDEE00;">'''&nbsp;Mr.choppers&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;'''</span><span style="color:#FDEE00;">✎&nbsp;</span></span> 03:44, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

:{{ping|Mr.choppers}} Ah yes, I failed to notice the {{tl|plainlist}}. And I also missed the "|plainlist" left visible in the article. Many apologies for that.
:It's very odd, then, that LintHint indicated that my removal of the closing brackets had resolved the Linter error. It should have still reflected a missing-end-tag div error for the unclosed {<nowiki/>{plainlist template.
:Unfortunately restoring the closing brackets restored the Linter errors. After a little more fiddling, the better solution is to simply remove the {{tl|plainlist}} altogether. The before/after rendering of the page is identical. Do you see any drawbacks to this solution?
:Regards, and apologies again for the goof — SirOlgen (talk) 04:50, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
::I mean, the output works, but I feel that it is uncool to have to change editing based on what some bot or plugin might be confused by. Sometimes it would makea difference, for instance, if there are photos on the left, plainlist gives better results. Anyhow, I tried another variant just to see if it still shows up as an error, please check. <span style="background:#ff0000;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#FDEE00;">'''&nbsp;Mr.choppers&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;'''</span><span style="color:#FDEE00;">✎&nbsp;</span></span> 05:00, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping||Mr.choppers}} That seems to have restored the errors again. You can see them at the bottom of the article's page info ↗.
:::From cleaning up other Linter errors, I'm getting the sense that certain templates don't pair well with certain switches (like the ; at the beginning of the line containing the "{<nowiki/>{plainlist" ).
:::Regards — SirOlgen (talk) 05:11, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
::::In the first edit, the problem was a removal of closing braces without removing the start of the template. Removing the plainlist template entirely was the right solution, because the original code resulted in this invalid syntax: <syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext>;loading area:<templatestyles src="Plainlist/styles.css"/><div class="plainlist " >
</div></syntaxhighlight> The semicolon markup starts a definition list ↗, and then the plainlist template is opened on the same, indented line. The closing /div tag for the plainlist template is on an unindented line. {{tag|div}} tags generally need to be closed on the same line, or at the same indentation level, on which they are opened. The same is true of {{tag|blockquote}} and a few other block-level tags. That is what was causing the Linter errors. See the linked page about list syntax for how to create validly formatted lists. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:20, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Jonesey95}} Thanks, I appreciate your explanation. I was casually interpreting the ; in this instance as a shorthand for bold tagging, which probably didn't help. I'll have to chew on the deflist concept and keep that in mind when working the div errors. I've encountered the ;/: in a glossary or two, but not often enough to develop familiarity. Closing the div at the same indentation level is another detail I'll need to remember.
:::::Thanks again for the nuggets! — SirOlgen (talk) 21:50, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

if mobile > clear



Hi, I noticed you removed/fixed up the usage of {{tlx|if mobile|{{t|clear}}}} on Vowel ↗ as it caused a linter error. I used this same "hack" on Bracket ↗ after a similar compressed text issue was reported at Talk:Bracket#Mobile issue with top table ↗, but I presume this causes the same error.

It is my understanding that the initial issue is caused by the application of <code>float: right</code> in Template:Bracket terms/styles.css ↗, which I think is still the correct thing to do for desktop. Any ideas on how to fix the stylesheet for mobile to avoid causing the linter error?

Thanks! ~ <span style="color: #e3308a">oklopfer</span> (💬) 18:01, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

:{{Ping|oklopfer}} I actually just tried what I was hoping to be a workaround with <pre>{{if mobile|{{IPA vowels}}|{{IPA vowels|class=floatright}}</pre> but it totally messes up the {{tl|IPA vowels}} rending on mobile.

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion


Hi there! I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting ↗ to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted ↗ my fix to :Dogtown and Z-Boys ↗.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <code><nowiki><ref name="foo">...</ref></nowiki></code> and one or more <code><nowiki><ref name="foo"/></nowiki></code> referring to it. Someone then removed the <code><nowiki><ref name="foo">...</ref></nowiki></code> but left the <code><nowiki><ref name="foo"/></nowiki></code>, which results in a <strong class="error">big red error</strong> in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <code><nowiki><ref name="foo"/></nowiki></code> with a copy of the <code><nowiki><ref name="foo">...</ref></nowiki></code>; I ''did not'' re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the ''remaining'' instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove '''all''' instances of the named reference so as to not leave any <strong class="error">big red error</strong>.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

November 1926 ↗


Your changes to November 1926 ↗ have been reverted. The placement of images around the context box has been accepted in these articles for more than 15 years, and I note that you have made no other contributions to the research or writing to this article. In this case, this appears to be disruptive editing based on your own personal preferences.Mandsford 12:38, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Howrah station



Thank you very much for your edit to fix the infobox map length deviation in Howrah railway station ↗ article. Can you make the route map section collapsible also?

It'll look better and will shorten the length of the infobox in first view. I can't understand how to do that and therefore asking you. Thank you Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 11:59, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

:{{ping|Kalpesh Manna 2002}} You're quite welcome for the edit.
:In looking at this page from various ways, the Route Map section seems to collapse fine when viewed via a browser in '''''Desktop''''' view and via the Wikipedia app (the Android version, at least), but not when viewed via a browser in '''''Mobile''''' view. Is it safe to assume you're viewing the article using a phone/tablet browser?
:The Route Map section of {{tl|Infobox station}} source code is as follows:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
:| rowcellstyle75 = padding: 0
:| data76 = {{#if:{{{route_map|}}}{{{map_name|}}}|
:{{ infobox
:| bodystyle = {{Subinfobox bodystyle}}
:| bodyclass = collapsible {{{map_state|}}}
:| headerstyle = {{#invoke:Adjacent stations|style|subheader|{{{style|}}}|{{{style2|}}}}}
:| header1 = {{#if:{{{map_name|}}}|<div style="margin:0 3.5em">{{{map_name}}}</div>|<div style="margin:0 3.5em">{{#ifeq:{{#invoke:String|find|{{{route_map}}}|Legend ↗}}|0|Route map|Track layout}}</div>}}
:| data2 = {{{route_map}}}
:}}}}
:</syntaxhighlight>
:For whatever reason, the <code><nowiki>{{{map_state|}}}</nowiki></code> value (or maybe the <code>bodyclass</code> arg altogether) seems to be getting lost after being passed to the {{tl|infobox}} template, but only in '''''Mobile''''' view.
:I played around, hoping it might be due to (A) not specifying a <code>map_name =</code> arg in {{tl|Infobox station}} or (B) specifying multiple route map templates/text strings in the <code>route_map =</code> arg. When that didn't resolve things, I tried various scenarios using {{tl|if mobile}} to strip-out the {{tl|switcher}} and just list the maps via a {{tl|ubl}} only in '''''Mobile''''' view. Then I tried passing various collapse-related args directly in the {{tl|Howrah–Kharagpur line}} and other line templates to see if the individual maps could be collapsed. I seem unable to get that section to collapse in '''''Mobile''''' view no matter what I try.
:The best option might be to post an Edit Request at Template talk:Infobox station ↗ outlining the problem and see if a Template Editor is able to figure out where things are getting off-track.
:I wish you luck! — SirOlgen (talk) 22:03, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you for your efforts and explanation. I'm indeed looking through a mobile browser. I'll raise the issue at the template talk page as advised. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 07:32, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Monreale Cathedral mosaics: template "in use" on the top



Please DO NOT EDIT pages with such template! I'm loosing my work in visual editor because of you. --Shakko (talk) 21:41, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

:{{ping|Shakko}} oops, apologies... navigating directly to an error from the Linter ↗ error reports, one doesn't see the tag (unfortunately, it doesn't appear to add any sort of warning to the '''''edit''''' page). — SirOlgen (talk) 21:56, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Copyvio templates



Hi, please do not remove copyvio templates if you aren't a copyright clerk, admin or VRT agent. These do need to be checked and CP has sometimes found copyvio even if no source is specified.<span id="Tenshi_Hinanawi:1782417648857:User_talkFTTCLNSirOlgen" class="FTTCmt"> —&nbsp;Tenshi!
