== Monobook ==

You may wish to make use of a 'Dates' tab in edit mode that will help with unlinking unnecessary date links. Simply copy the entire contents of [[User:Bobblewik/monobook.js]] to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. It also provides a 'Units' tab. If you know what you are doing, you can copy and modify the subfiles as you wish. I just thought you might be interested. Regards. [[User:Bobblewik|bobblewik]] 20:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

:The reason it fails is because you refer to [[User:Hmains/monobook.js/dates.js]] and [[User:Hmains/monobook.js/unitformatter.js]] and these articles do not exist. You have two options:
:* '''Option 1. ''' As described in the first 4 sentences above, make your monobook identical to mine. Then it will use the existing articles [[User:Bobblewik/monobook.js/dates.js]] and [[User:Bobblewik/monobook.js/unitformatter.js]].
:* '''Option 2.''' As described in the last 2 sentences, create your own subfiles [[User:Hmains/monobook.js/dates.js]] and [[User:Hmains/monobook.js/unitformatter.js]] by copying the details from [[User:Bobblewik/monobook.js/dates.js]] and [[User:Bobblewik/monobook.js/unitformatter.js]].
:Try again. I am happy to walk you through the process. So feel free to ask me again. [[User:Bobblewik|bobblewik]] 12:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|1=reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

For the guideline on reviewing, see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing]]. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found [[Help:Pending changes|here]], and the general policy for the trial can be found [[Wikipedia:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.<!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]] 17:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

This feature should have little to no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on [[WP:NPP|new page patrollers]].  For more information on the patroller right, see [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled]].  Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions.

<nowiki>[[:MOS:BLOCKQUOTE]]</nowiki>

<nowiki>[[:MOS:CURLY]]</nowiki>

^ Typographical, or curly, quotation marks and apostrophes might be read more efficiently, and many think they look better. However, for practical reasons the straight versions are used on the English Wikipedia: 

Consistency keeps searches predictable. Though most browsers do not distinguish between curly and straight marks, Internet Explorer still does (as of 2016), so that a search for Alzheimer's disease will fail to find Alzheimer’s disease and vice versa.

Straight quotation marks are easier to type reliably on most platforms.

MediaWiki's use of series of single quotes to create italics and boldface makes using these features complicated and error-prone for content that begins or ends with apostrophes.

==Linking Dates (centuries, decades, years, months, days, etc)==
Delink dates per [[:WP:DATELINK]], [[:WP:YEARLINK]] and [[:MOS:UNLINKYEARS]] 

As always, the content of the linked-to article must provide substantive content to the linked-from article.  The MOS decided most dates do not do this. [[User:Hmains|Hmains]] ([[User talk:Hmains#top|talk]]) 03:36, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

== concrete bridges categorization ==

Hi Hmains, you still do categorization of articles using Hotcat or other tools, right?  Perhaps you could help with [[:Category:Concrete bridges in the United States]].  It was striking to me today that this category has many individual members, and few state-level subcategories in [[:Category:Concrete bridges in the United States by state]] (there were just 5 or 6).  I just created a few more state-level subcategories and started doing some sorting of the individual members into them.  With your tools, I wonder if you could please continue this out?  Probably all or most of the 50 U.S. states should have categories, and I know there are some Puerto Rico examples in there too.  (Maybe also splitting out [[:Category:Girder bridges in the United States]], too?  But it is smaller.) Either way, doing this or not, i'm glad you're contributing in Wikipedia.  cheers, --Doncram ([[user talk:Doncram|talk]],[[Special:Contributions/Doncram|contribs]]) 14:50, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

:Oh, i see it is more complicated if one makes connections over to Commons categories, too, as pre-existing state-level ones did.  There are 17 state-level categories there in [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Concrete_bridges_in_the_United_States_by_state https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Concrete_bridges_in_the_United_States_by_state].  I dunno if more should be created there.  This is getting beyond what i can do.... --Doncram ([[user talk:Doncram|talk]],[[Special:Contributions/Doncram|contribs]]) 15:05, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

::There is no magic to what I do with categories.   Regardless of tool, one has to read each article/category and determine what to do with it.   It is just a matter of the time involved to do so.  Thanks. [[User:Hmains|Hmains]] ([[User talk:Hmains#top|talk]]) 20:11, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

== "allincluded" on US shootings cat ==

Hi, I was wondering if there is any reason why you added [[:Template:Allincluded]] to [[:Category:Mass shootings in the United States]] as seen in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category%3AMass_shootings_in_the_United_States&diff=prev&diff=802082533&diffmode=source this diff]. I cant think of any reason why that category shouldn't be a container category, especially not all included. This same topic was put on [[Category talk:Mass shootings in the United States#All included banner|the talk page in 2019]], but no reason was given. Thanks, [[User:Greyzxq|<span style="color:deeppink; text-shadow:hotpink 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em;"><b>greyzxq</b></span>]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Greyzxq|<span style="color:hotpink; text-shadow:pink 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em;"><i>talk</i></span>]]</sup></small> 23:46, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

:Hi. The reason was and is that this aids in navigation for reader and allows them to rapidly see the whole situation here.   Having all the mass shooting in the US in one location means that readers can come here and find/see every article on the subject.  Otherwise, they have to wade through multiple levels of subcats to look at the articles in each location or other subcat.  No benefit accrues in forcing readers to have to do that.  And there is no list what includes all such shootings; having such a list would be difficult to keep up to date, especially since such mass shooting have become something of a cottage industry in the US: is it now multiple times per day?  Thanks. [[User:Hmains|Hmains]] ([[User talk:Hmains#top|talk]]) 00:01, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
