Good god man! This is scary - but what is more scary is that there is a NEXT 1000 button! Anyway, congrats on some 1250+ (plus a few) edits - more than I have. Are you sysop yet, and if not, do you want it? 22:14, March 2, 2006 (EST)
 * Thanks, I think? ;) How about implementing a Find in Files / Replace Next feature for me? (just kidding). Seriously though, it was just small changes to a bunch of pages, fixing the same thing on all of them (categorizing, fixing template calls or parameters, etc). It sure made a mess of the Recent Changes page, didn't it? And yes, I'm a sysop. Dedridd 09:24, March 3, 2006 (EST)

 * Mmmm, thanks, that's excellent! The find / replace and the touch ability are definitely things I can put to use. What's the response time on that? Instantaneous? Or does it only check for new jobs every so often? I'm going to have to set up some test pages to familiarize myself with the correct syntax. Hmmmmm, can I follow your example and add subpages to my User talk page for testing? I would really want to be confident in what I'm doing before I attempt any big jobs that touch lots of pages. Also, what is the history going to look like for a page that is changed in this way? Will it just say Silverbot, or will it pull the name signed on the job on it's talk page and fill out the history that way? Dedridd 08:47, March 9, 2006 (EST)


 * She just makes edits like you or I would - under her own name. And she parses her page once a day or so, when I get around to seeing some updates to it and asking her to. Sure, test anywhere you like.

Editing Question
I'd like to do some serious editing in the alternate paladin build I started. I mean some really huge editing. Actually it's more like a merger with the "yet another build" that has been commented out.

How much freedom do I have (and anyone else) to retract and brutally edit my own work? Shaile 13:26, March 9, 2006 (EST)


 * This is a wiki - have at it! You have full freedom to do what you want, as long as what you do is an improvement. Seriously. :) If someone disagrees, they'll probably put an entry on the Discussion page attached to whatever page you edited, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on that by hitting the "Watch" tab for it at the top. If you're concerned that your efforts might be misunderstood, put a good explanation in the "Summary:" textbox before you hit the Save Page button. Dedridd 13:36, March 9, 2006 (EST)
