Hey there. Looks like you know how to make redirects now. Congrats! I noticed you've been doing some mass category depopulation, so I wanted to refer you to this tool which will make your life a LOT easier from the category pages: User:קיפודנחש/cat-a-lot. From one screen you can remove categories and customize the edit summary. Try HotCat as well in Preferences>Gadgets>HotCat. It makes adding cats to individual pages easier. It would speed up depopulating a bit, but Cat-a-Lot would definitely be the better tool for mass depopulating or moving. Happy editing! -2pou (talk) 16:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi thanks for your contribution to the page. I just wanted to make you aware that the plot summaries have recently been reduced down to 500 words per season per MOS:TVPLOT which inevitably means leaving out some of the detail. Can we avoid adding more detail to the summaries in future so that we can maintain this word count? I will add a hidden note to the page to reflect this. Thanks Fieryninja (talk) 07:03, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, Painting17. Regarding your inquiry in this edit summary, what you did works just fine. But to do it all at once, you would need to enclose the requested redirects in brackets [[]] and separate them however you want (comma, slash, hyphen, space, etc. All should work.). For the linked example it would be this:

((subst:^|<!-- Do not change or remove this line -->))((subst:Request redirect
|1=<!-- Enter the title of the new redirect you would like created below this line -->
[[White Vision (Marvel Cinematic Universe)]] / [[White Vision (MCU)]]

|2=<!-- Enter the name of the existing page that you want the redirect to point to below this line -->
Vision (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

|3=<!-- Enter the reason for the new redirect (e.g. alternative name, common misspelling, etc.) below this line -->
Alternate version (the new, white Vision that appears in WandaVision). He is commonly referred to as "White Vision". He was also called "White Vision" by [[Jac Schaeffer]].

|4=<!-- Unless it is obvious, please enter a reliable source which supports your reason below this line -->

<!-- Do not change or remove this line -->))

Make sense? If you don't enclose in brackets, the script will do it for you, but only for a single request. If you use brackets, it will just use your text. You know how to create these on your own, though; you just made two. Are there other questions making you hesitant on creating these ones in particular? -2pou (talk) 00:53, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

God's Not Dead: We the People, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi, I've noticed you have done a lot of category-related edits. You may find User:קיפודנחש/cat-a-lot (a user script) helpful. Happy editing! ― Qwerfjkltalk 21:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A tag has been placed on Draft:Bruce Wayne (2022 film character) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Complete WP:FANCRUFT that doesn't meet notability guidelines in the slightest

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi Painting17, I noticed you are doing a lot of good work here, and thanks for that! Just a small note: please don't draftify test articles such as Cragdor the Destroyer."test" and "wait crap this isn't my profile" can just be speedy deleted. When draftifying please notify the page creator, and nominate the leftover redirect for speedy deletion under R2. You can read more about all that at WP:DRAFTIFY. Thanks! – NJD-DE (talk) 00:27, 23 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You're right! I was trying to get the article out of the mainspace as fast as possible, but completely forgot about speedy deletion. I suppose this is an example ofWP:RUSHDELETE. Painting17 (talk) 00:43, 23 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No worries. Actually I had already tagged it for speedy deletion but probably you were still looking at the older revision of the article when you moved it. Anyway, thanks for helping to get this out of mainspace! :) – NJD-DE (talk) 00:48, 23 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rao Inderjit Singh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ministry of Planning. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Slaves Today: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 04:23, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 21, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

@No Swan So Fine I haven't edited tree templates in almost a year, but I can probably do it assuming it passes the notability guidelines. I might have a bit of trouble formatting three marriages. Painting17 (talk) 22:32, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Many thanks, I do find them helpful when navigating biographies. No Swan So Fine (talk) 22:35, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unfortunately, I couldn't add them. None of them have articles and the template just doesn't have room. If appropriate, I can certainly add infoboxes each article to help navigation. There is also a category for them at Category:Birley family. Apologies for the inconvenience, and I hope this helps. Painting17 (talk) 23:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An article you recently created, Shooting Stars (2023 film), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Painting17. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Danny Rand".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.
