{{ec}}*2 {{Ping group|Concerned Editors|Redrose64|OccultZone|Mr. Stradivarius}} This it not the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth recent case where Technical 13 has used the Template Editor privilege in a manner inconsistent with the rules regarding the permission not withstanding other recent cases of Technical 13 being strongly warned to not edit war over a prefered version of the page( see 1). I would also like to note that freqently when Technical 13 is confronted about their actions, the responsibility is shifted elsewhere (Cell Phone Browser's incomplete implementation of HTML standards, Twinkle, Archiving utilities, MediaWiki core logic, etc). It was impressed upon me that if I believed that there was a pattern of misuse that a RFC/U should be conducted, but that I should keep my hands out of drafting the RFC/U due to my significantly being involved as a disputant against Technical 13. I am bringing this to your attention so you may determine if there is a pattern of misuse of the permission and thereby a RFC/U should be conducted or if we should go straight to AN/ANI/a uninvolved administrator with this significant string of evidence as RFC/U has no enforcement provisions. Hasteur (talk) 13:00, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

:{{ping|Hasteur}} the first and fifth links you give don't involve template-protected templates, and the second doesn't go into any specifics. The third and the fourth bear further consideration, though, particularly the third. If you think that, plus today's incident, is enough to open a thread at ANI, then you are welcome to open one. Personally, I would rather that T13 recognise that his use of the template editor right has sometimes been problematic, but it may be a good idea to have a wider discussion about it. If you do post at ANI, the usual caveats will apply - the behaviour of all parties will be examined. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 13:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

::{{Reply to|Mr. Stradivarius}} The first and fifth links represent making exceedingly poor changes that cause the template to perform in undesirable and potentially broken manners, suggesting in my mind that conesnsus is not being secured nor are potential updates to these high visibility templates being tested prior to implementing in the core. Hasteur (talk) 14:51, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

::{{Reply to|Mr. Stradivarius}} The second is the private appeal to Technical 13 to do the right thing in the context of Wikipedia_talk:Article_wizard#Template-protected_edit_request_on_7_June_2014 which is the subject of the 3rd warning that I linked. It rings out clearly in my mind that Technical 13 is not qualified to hold this permission. I would also point out at the plethora of topicons this user displays leads to me wonder about a perception of hat collecting. Hasteur (talk) 15:00, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

::* If having a few top icons makes me a collector, perhaps we need to open up new RFC/U's on {{Noping|Richwales|Ritchie333|I JethroBT|BrownHairedGirl}} to name a few...

:::*(comment from a Nosy Parker) {{U|Hasteur}}, IMO your hat-collecting comment was un-called-for in this instance, since it's pretty obvious that T13 edits lots of templates, and didn't "collect" the Template Editor right just for show, but because he planned to use it. No need to pile on extra mud; it only distracts from the issue under discussion. —Anne Delong (talk) 06:03, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

:* {{U|Mr. Stradivarius}}, in response to your comment of {{Tq|Personally, I would rather that T13 recognise that his use of the template editor right has sometimes been problematic}}, I've never claimed to be perfect, nor am I afraid to say when I made a mistake. I'm not afraid to make difficult choices, and if I make the wrong one, {{Tl|Trout me}}, let's fix this issue, and move on... This is only Wikipedia, and no mistake can be made that can't be fixed. Anyways... I had a good day, and I hope that if Hasteur wishes to continue this, what I consider a personal attack on my talk page intended to serve no purpose except to harass me, I strongly urge him to do so elsewhere as I would appreciate not having such dribble on my talk page. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 23:05, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for responding to my help request. But I'm still not sure what I can do to make the article not read like an advertisement. If the article is fine, is it possible to get rid of the advert comment? Could you advise, please. Many, many thanks.Katrinpark (talk) 16:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Please don't edit war on template-protected templates, like you did on Template:Documentation [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Documentation&diff=615363175&oldid=615362561 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Documentation&diff=615381849&oldid=615365445 here].

• {{U|Mr. Stradivarius}}, I would hardly consider those examples of constructive collaborated editing to be edit warring. I attempted to achieve consensus by editing by being bold, that edit included making the template hide itself when in edit mode with a clever method I learned from my editing of {{Tl|Reflistp}}. Despite my inability to see why anyone would ever want to be forced into scrolling through pages of template documentation every time they hit {{Button|Preview}}, {{U|Jackmcbarn}} claimed that was part of his method. I certainly wouldn't want to make anything more difficult for others, so I went out of my way to write User:Technical 13/Scripts/editTemplateNoDoc.js‎‎ and to make it work I wrapped the module call from the template in a span that does nothing except add a class wrapper to the template. Jackmcbarn reverted that claiming the module already was completely wrapped in a similar class, and I attempted to adapt for that. I found his claim was incorrect, only the top half of the template was wrapped in that class so I added a new span with the class that was already in use that he specified. I ignored the fact that he dictated that there should be no edits to the template and all edits must be made to the module. I found it to be a little dictatorial implying that templates should be abandoned and everything written in Lua, and assuming good faith figured he misspoke because he couldn't have meant that. Users like myself and {{U|Redrose64}} surely shouldn't be forced to learn a new language that we don't understand in order to be able to edit Wikipedia. I would have had no objection to anyone that wanted to code my change in Lua (which is harmless to anyone and not disruptive) as long as the function I created works as intended. That being said, I don't see this collaborative effort as an edit war and there is no reason to have that template fully protected on my behalf as I'm sure we can get this misunderstanding resolved. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 10:54, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

I've been around long enough and know that while such misunderstandings happen often, that most administrators are willing to discuss situations and reach some sort of agreement usually.

::::::::Possibly, no one will directly block you, at least not when whole "edit warring" has been disputed. We know you are important. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 12:13, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

::{{ec}} {{replyto|Technical 13}} The point as I see is it that having had a contentious edit reverted once, you should then have left the template alone and discussed instead - this is WP:BRD. But, you made a contentious edit twice more (the fact that it was not the same edit is irrelevant, but the {{diff|Template:Documentation|615381849|615363175|difference between second and third}} was slight), each time being reverted. A discussion at Template talk:Documentation#Debate by edit summary was started by {{u|Johnuniq}} at 04:09, 3 July 2014, and it is only after several hours and several posts here that {{diff|Template talk:Documentation|prev|615416938|you responded at that thread}} - with something that isn't an explanation at all. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:15, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

::* Several hours while I was sleeping, and I always respond to things on my talk page before I start making rounds answering other posts once I get up and start drinking my morning coffee. I agree the first edit may have been contentious in hind sight as an edit that affects a template's appearance, but only slightly as in it doesn't alter the appearance at all except for those that are actively editing the template, and I did not complain what-so-ever about Jack's reversion of that. My second edit was entirely unrelated to the first, and fell under changes to CSS classes with no visible effect and as such required no discussion. Per WP:EDITCONSENSUS {{Xt|If rewording does not salvage the edit, then it should be reverted}}, Jack, having seen what I was attempting to do and knowing that he has Lua experience and knowledge I do not, should have reworded have made the appropriate change to the Lua module instead of just reverting my template edit. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 12:51, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

:::{{ec}} Yes, what Redrose said. I think WP:TPE#Editing disputes is more relevant here than WP:EDITCONSENSUS - the consensus process for editing protected templates should not be confused with the consensus process for normal article editing. Also, it is not arbitrary to require that edits be made in the module rather than the template. Other modules that create automatic documentation will not be able to use code added to the template page, so doing everything in the module ensures that documentation pages look the same whether they are generated from Lua or from wikicode. Further discussion along these lines should probably take place at the template talk page. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 12:58, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

:::* The problem with that, {{U|Mr. Stradivarius}}, is that This right should never be used to gain an upper hand in editing disputes. which is entirely based on {{Xt|You have a privilege that most people do not have.}} does not apply when both editors are in the {{TE}} group. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 13:10, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

:::::From the last sentence of that paragraph: {{tq|never wheel war with other admins or template editors}}. To me, that seems to describe today's edits rather well. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 13:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

:::::* {{U|Mr. Stradivarius}}, I didn't see it as wheel warring at all. Setting aside what I consider an OWNership issue of those proficient with Lua suggesting that those that aren't proficient aren't allowed to edit templates that have module components even for something as simple as adding a CSS class which had zero impact on appearance or functionality, and setting aside the fact that there are at least two fully capable Lua editors that despite this discussion having gone on for more than 24 hours insisted on using reversion (which is only suppose to be used after their preferred method of fixing the situation has been completed) instead of just adding the class to the module so that it can be used to remove all parts of the documentation from template pages in edit mode for those that want it (of which {{Diff|Module:Documentation|cur|prev|still hasn't been done}}). My first change was reverted by Jack, and he gave a clear explanation of why it was an issue for him. That was the end of that. Then, I made an entirely different edit, in order to accommodate a new user script I had written to allow only editors that want to get rid of having to scroll through those long annoying pages upon pages of documentation a way to avoid it in a completely unrelated method. In order to accommodate this, I needed a class to reference, and I made a change to add a CSS class with no visible effect. All was good. Jack decided to revert that edit saying that the class name for my script needed to be "template-documentation" instead of "template-doc" as the former was already in use in the module. I found that this class name already in use, was only applied to a portion of the documentation and I accommodated Jack by adding the class HE specified as a wrapper for the template. Apparently, you didn't like that simple solution, but instead of fixing the the module to properly attach that class to ALL parts of the document you decided to revert the template without fixing the module.

:::::: To everyone else following this thread, don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of interactions with both Jackmcbarn and Mr. Stradivarius to know that their actions were made in good faith, and I'm not in the least trying to accuse them of anything wrong. They are both very good and productive editors and there are many other projects we have worked together on in some capacity (including some going on while this discussion takes place). I'm just not convinced at this point that this was the right course of action for this situation as they should both know by now what the revert stage of the BRD process is: "Revert an edit if it is not an improvement, and it cannot be immediately fixed by refinement. Consider reverting only when necessary. It is not the intention of this page to encourage reverting. When reverting, be specific about your reasons in the edit summary and use links if needed. Look at the article's edit history and its talk page to see if a discussion has begun. If not, you may begin one." As such, their insistence on reverting the improvement to the template was entirely inappropriate.

:::::: Regardless, I had a good day spending time with my daughter today (except for at the end when she knew her mommy was going to take her home and daddy wasn't going and she cried saying daddy go with us that tore my heart out), and I'm not going to allow this discussion to ruin that for me. So, I'm asking any of the Lua editors that are reading this, if you don't want non-Lua people editing your templates that invoke lua modules, please, just fix the Lua module and end the charade... — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 22:44, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

:::::::Your {{diff|Template:Documentation|prev|615363175|second}} and {{diff|Template:Documentation|prev|615381849|third}} edits both wrapped the documentation in a {{tag|span}} element.

:::::* {{U|Mr. Stradivarius|Mr. S.}}, I believe that reverting because of what the cosmetics of having a box inside of a box looks like instead of making sure to maintain functionality is somewhat disruptive. I would be very appreciative if you would just fix it so that either the whole thing is inside of a single box with a class that can be used to hide it, or fix it so that all of the little boxes have the same definitive class that can be used to hide it. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 14:34, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

:::::: {{ec}} I've reverted that edit. Putting the end box inside the main blue div doesn't look good, as you end up with one blue box inside another blue box. You would be bound to get complaints about it from editors who are used to the old end box display. Also, you should by now be aware that these sorts of edits to Template:Documentation/Module:Documentation are not uncontroversial, and you should be proposing them on the template talk page rather than putting 100,000 pages in the job queue again, only to have your edits reverted.

I have watched this discussion with increasing dismay. Various concerns have been raised over your use of the template-editor userright, and your responses have not demonstrated that you understand these concerns or will act on them. Your recent edit to Module:Documentation proves that little has been learned. Is it appropriate for you to continue to have this userright? I don't think an editor in your situation would be given it if they asked at WP:PERM. I also think you are currently causing a net negative effect with these tools. So I think it is right that you should take a break from them and reflect on what has gone wrong. Feel free to rerequest at WP:PERM/T after a suitable period of time. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:10, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

• Page is in use
• Edit blocked by spam filter
• No changes are made
• Only whitespace is changed
• Only casing is changed
• Only genfixes (which should cover the instance you linked above I believe)
• Page is redirect
• Page doesn't exist

• {{U|Czarkoff|Dmitrij}}, I read through all of the comments and the list of possible places to change the redirect to and picked the one that I thought most appropriate. I would much rather see a standalone article created on the topic, but I think Child protection most closely reflects Child safety for now.

• {{U|MSGJ}}, I think you are confused. I reopened the request in that edit after some discussion had occurred and I no longer opposed the change. Second, there is no policy, guideline, rule, or law that says I'm unable to close any request including fully protected, template protected, or otherwise if the request doesn't meet the criteria of a suitable request per PER or if the change is contentious because I'm objecting to it. There have been discussions on this topic before (pertaining specifically to non-administrator closings before {{TE}} even existed) and the consensus was there is nothing wrong with this.

Hello Technical 13. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Trover".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{edit|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Trover|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}} or {{tlc|db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Trover}}, paste it in the edit box at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion&action=edit§ion=new this link], click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Rankersbo (talk) 12:25, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

You have mentioned that you use {{tl|Reflistp}} to show references while editing/previewing section edits. Are you aware of the existance of User:Js/ajaxPreview? That user script provides an automatic view of references when previewing edits and adds a button to (or changes normal operation to) preview using AJAX which improves the time required for previewing.

My personal preferences for configuration of this are:

//Faster preview.  Preview shows References in section edit.

importScript('User:Js/ajaxPreview.js'); // user:js/ajaxPreview
//Config:
var ajaxPreviewPos = 'bottom'; //buttons on the bottom, replacing standard,
//leaving smaller button for standard when desired
//And if you want tables to be sortable and collapsible elements to work as
//  usual in the Ajax-updated preview, use the following code:
// code to execute after each preview update
window.ajaxPreviewExec = function(previewArea) {
mw.loader.using( [
'jquery.tablesorter',
'jquery.makeCollapsible'
], function(){
$( 'table.sortable' ).tablesorter();
$( '#wikiPreview .collapsible' ).makeCollapsible();
} );
}

I should also note that [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/141583/ showing references in preview mode ] states that it has been added to the code for 1.24wmf12, which is the next version to be released. — Makyen (talk) 18:20, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

• Thank you for bringing that to my attention as I wasn't aware of that script, but I'm guessing I would find the {{Tq|"Preview" highlights syntax when editing .js and .css files}} quite annoying and when I'm editing those sections I just want the references, not a bunch of other features. I look forward to that part of wmf12 if it works right. :) — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 18:25, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

::The setup which I provided above results in buttons being available for both the new AJAX based preview/show changes and smaller buttons right next to them with the standard functionality so you can choose at the time you click on the button as to if you want the regular preview/show changes or the script based versions. — Makyen (talk) 21:09, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

:::After testing, I found that [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/141583/ this change] does not show references in section edit previews. It only results in adding a list of references when the entire article is displayed and there is not one explicitly defined. — Makyen (talk) 12:31, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm very concerned. The last few weeks, I've seen some unusual behavior; unusually testy, combative, overly sensitive, a bit hard headed. We all have bad days, bad weeks, bad months even, and my observation is that you are having one. You aren't at your best, and I've seen you around for some time, so I have something to compare to. As a friend, let me just say that the Arb case isn't a good idea. Honestly, it is a phenomenally bad idea. I know nothing about template, not interested, my specialty is more akin to dealing with behavioral problems. You are free to ignore my advice here, but I'm giving you same advice I would give my own flesh and blood here: Take some time off. You need a break, you are burned out. Close the case, take a few weeks 100% away from Wikipedia and get a fresh perspective. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 01:12, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I have no idea why you said what you did in the first three sentences about being American and the metric system to me. Perhaps you've got me confused with a different editor. You certainly did when at the top of that discussion you referred to my having said anything about anyone being blocked.

Regarding {{tl|Height}}: like you, I am also "still not entirely clear why it isn't just deleted in favor of {{tl|Convert}} with a redirect". If this happened, we'd be a step closer to the relative prevalence of the different units being reflected organically on Wikipedia, as {{tl|Convert}} doesn't arbitrarily favour one unit over another. Perhaps we agree that this is a desirable outcome?

Now, you referred to my "cherry picking sources to support your all cm agenda". I have picked all my sources with consideration only for quality and reliability: the subject's team's official website; the subject's nation's governing body; the subject's sport's international governing body; or, in the absence of these, quality media outlets. I can hardly be blamed if these hardly ever use metres. Also, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template_talk%3AHeight&diff=591249870&oldid=591249481 I stated] at Template talk:Height before the RfC even started that metres are perfectly fine if taken from a reliable (English language) source of sufficient quality, and even referred back to this statement several times throughout the RfC (and here I am doing it again).

You then said I am "ignoring the ENGVAR element". Could you name one variant of English that favours metres over centimetres please? You also said I'm "ignoring the proportion and scale of the sources used". If you see Talk:Davide_Astori#Height, someone certainly is doing this but it isn't me. You then appear to contradict yourself when you imply that it's perfectly OK for an editor to create a Canadian soccer player's article that gives their height in metres even though they aren't commonly used in Canadian English or in the source (or majority of sources) that the height is taken from.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 08:02, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

: T13, if all your "harassment" complaint is changing asterisks to colons, then that's pretty weak. Indeed, that's basically the only things you have even tried to substantiate. There's no way that changing indent styles a) disrupts your enjoyment of the project, b) warrants an ArbCom filing in any manner. You've got a lot of crap on your plate - first you had a couple of issues around user-rights (yeah, you generated them yourself) that made your online fun a lot less fun. I would expect that made you feel as stomped on as a narc at a biker rally. Then you really went all out in a retaliatory filing ... and got stomped again; not a good feeling. These led to some even WORSE decisions from you on Wikipedia. I can guarantee that you're literally moments away from a block of some length, and that's going to be worse.

: But online isn't real life - the X button exists in the top right corner on purpose. Now you've got some real live shit going on: now that is what life is about - THAT is where your focus needs to be.

: One way or another, you need to take time off from this project, and choosing your way is better than it being forced. But you don't seem to be able to stay away voluntarily. Now, because you're smart enough to outthink the java-based Wikibreak enforcer, you need to request a block. Yes, you're permitted to do that - with zero blemish on your block record. Ask someone - Dennis or myself to block you as a self-requested block for a period of 6 months - the admin will annotate the block log accordingly. Spend that time focussed on family. Spend that time analysing your wikilife so far. Spend time rethinking how you interact when challenged. Come back in 6 months with a new perspective, new direction, and stronger than ever.

: As I've said, you're literally moments from a block by one of at least a half-dozen admins that I know of - the next AN/ANI that has your name even mentionned in passing is going to be the proverbial straw on the back of the proverbial camel. the panda ɛˢˡ” 16:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
