How do I add a gradient to my name? I saw a person do it when I was editing, and I thought it would be a great addition! --Boocooe (talk) 22:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Boocooe: I didn't know the answer, so I went to Wikipedia:Signatures which took me to Wikipedia:Signature tutorial. You can view the source of that page to see how User:Darcyisverycute customized their signature to include a rotation. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 23:45, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]U tried making edits and it kicked me out --Knightking111087 (talk) 04:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Stop vandalizing articles. win8x (talk) 04:54, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Knightking111087 and @Win8x: I don't understand what you're referring to. Please elaborate. GoingBatty (talk) 04:55, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry for that, GoingBatty. This user is being prevented ("kicked him out") from editing articles due to edit filters. I had warned them on their talk page and saw them ask you here for help. win8x (talk) 04:57, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Win8x: Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't sure whether you were accusing this user or me of vandalism. GoingBatty (talk) 05:25, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Batty Bot breaks sfn refs
[edit]Hi, here the bot broke the sfn references "Writer 1935" and "Writer 1996" by changing the surname in the source citation templates. Is there any way to stop it doing this? DuncanHill (talk) 12:28, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @DuncanHill: It looks like my bot fixed the incorrect parameters
|last=Writer|first=Staffand you kindly made the other half to fix the associated{{sfn}}template. I've updated the bot so that it will ignore articles with{{sfn}}. There will need to be some other process to fix those articles with incorrect citation parameters. Thanks for letting me know! GoingBatty (talk) 19:58, 18 December 2024 (UTC) - @Ridiculopathy: Pinging you since you created the article. GoingBatty (talk) 19:58, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry if it broke something. So I understand now that the following is the best way to cite articles with no named author:
- {{cite journal |author = Staff Writer|title = Ballyknockan Listed Building Knocked| journal = Archaeology Ireland|.... etc
- and not:
- {{cite journal |last = Writer| first = Staff|title = Ballyknockan Listed Building Knocked| journal = Archaeology Ireland|.... etc.
- Regards, Ridiculopathy (talk) 06:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Ridiculopathy: I don't know that using "Staff Writer" when the source doesn't use those specific words is appropriate. But
|last=Writer|first=Staffis not appropriate. GoingBatty (talk) 06:47, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
