interesting snippet re abuse filters
FYI. For Special:AbuseFilter/16 it can show a hit on a main ns file for a new added link when there is no change to the main ns added_link directly. I note that I changed one of the transcluded Page: ns pages and fixed a broken link, and about half a day later, someone has updated the main ns page. That update has identified that the transcluded page has a new url at that time and it shows in 'examine' though does not show in the 'diff'. Thought that it was worth sharing. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:53, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Gadget-Site.css
I have left a message on MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-Site.css#border-box_.2A_selector_needs_to_be_removed. Perhaps you can provide some insight into why the rules were added so we can fix them. Thanks, ESanders (WMF) (talk) 14:25, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- @ESanders (WMF): Judging by the amount of phabricator & gerrit work I've seen you involved with, you may already know one of the main the reasons (or will dawn upon you sooner rather than later I suspect) for overriding settings --> trying make an .svg (ooui-icon/ooui-indicator) "behave" like a font-glyph while also serving as containing element's "background image" is riddled with pitfalls as it is - never mind trying to deploy it under a pre-existing skin such as Vector after the fact.
If you wanted completely scalable/zoomible font-glyphs without the svg-to-faux-icon headaches, should have looked at developing/deploying something like FontAwesome to begin with [imho that is] -- George Orwell III (talk) 05:08, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I understand the specific bug you were trying to fix, but font icons were proposed and considered, but rejected in favour in SVG; mostly because of bandwidth concerns. ESanders (WMF) (talk) 08:26, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

I am afraid that {{USStatChapHead}} has evolved far beyond my capability to comprehend, so I am hoping that you may be able to step in and fix whatever problem is currently causing the datenote parameter not to display anything when the page is rendered. Many thanks! Tarmstro99 15:30, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
wrong editing of rig Veda hymns
I just went on Wikipedia and read about 10 hymns in a row and every single one of them had many false edits on them making them impossible to read properly. I don't know how this happened but anyone who knows anything about rig-veda, which you you seem to from your bio, can immediately see this can you tell me I started at him 126 of the 10th mandala. would you please look at these hymnsand get back to me and tell me if you know anything about this or can figure out why these precious hymns have been perverted and how to rectify it. Thank you so much Luckyfourdogs@yahoo.com
executive orders
Talk:Executive_Order_8625 you linked to https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015087537836&view=image&seq=325
This is an attractive presentation but do you know if there are holes in what it covers?
I tried adjusting the page numbers by seq=325 to find other acts. I figure since 325 gave 8625 that I could adjust 325 by the difference between 8625 and the name of the order I was looking for, but no such luck.
http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/policy/1941/410725a.html mentions orders on 14 June 1941 and 26 July 1941 regarding European/Japanese asset freezing by Roosevelt, for example.
looking at https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/1941.html around that time it sounds like this might fit:
- Executive Order 8785
- Regulating Transactions in Foreign Exchange and Foreign-Owned Property, Providing for the Reporting of All Foreign-Owned Property, and Related Matters
8785 minus 8625 is 160, and 160+325=485 so I tried this:
This produced order 9002 though... so do you think it is missing some of the orders? Or maybe some were redacted and not available so it's not a continuous one per page?
I'm hoping to figure out an easy way (rather than scrolling one by one, as it is slow-loading) of locating acts in this source, as I really like how the entire thing is printed out this way. Unihoof (talk) 03:41, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
