== AfC reviewer? ==

Hi! Are you an AfC reviewer? I ask because I see that you've been accepting drafts, but I don't see your name on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants|list of reviewers]]. So then I wondered if you had read the bold-face message that reads "PLEASE NOTE: Editors whose usernames are not on the list are strongly cautioned not to review AfC submissions". May I suggest that if you want to be a reviewer (and more are surely needed), you should make a request in the usual way? I think that'd be better. I'm not particularly comfortable with some of the pages you've accepted, and am going to ask what others think of them, and whether they should be moved back to draft.

== Ways to improve [[Torakusu Yamaha]] ==

Hi, I'm Cwmhiraeth. BrandonXLF, thanks for creating [[Torakusu Yamaha]]!

I've just tagged the page, using our [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/Help|page curation]] tools, as having some issues to fix. An interesting article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on [[User talk:Cwmhiraeth|my talk page]]. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at [[WP:TEAHOUSE|the Teahouse]].

== Date templates ==

I see you are editing many date templates but there are several types of errors:
* Changing output of existing templates so current uses break, e.g. changing month and year in {{tl|LastMonth}} to only month when you redirected to {{tl|LASTMONTHNAME}}. You also removed the option to specify the start month to subtract a month from. [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:LastMonth]] may look like there are no "real" uses to be compatible with but all six templates listed there are used by an active archiving bot which uses [[WP:SUBST|substitution]] to make navigation headers in archive pages. E.g. at [[Wikipedia:Help desk/Archives/2018 June 29]] where the May link correctly goes to [[Wikipedia:Help desk/Archives/May 2018]] but would have been broken in your version. I have reverted your edits to four templates {{tl|Lmonth}}, {{tl|LastMonth}}, {{tl|Nmonth}}, {{tl|NextMonth}} so the next archiving run of the bot doesn't save broken substitutions.
* Preventing substitution from working. See [[WP:SAFESUBST]]. For example, <code><nowiki>{{subst:NEXTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki></code> currently saves the code <code><nowiki>{{#time:F|+1 month}}</nowiki></code> which always renders as a month after it is viewed. <code><nowiki>{{subst:NEXTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki></code> should save <code>August</code> now so it always renders as <code>August</code>. Date templates are often used with substitution.
* Referring to named parameters as <code>name</code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{{name}}}</nowiki></code>, e.g. in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:NEXTMONTH&diff=848704318&oldid=848703901]. See [[Help:Template#Handling parameters]].
* Placing noinclude after a newline which will then be included in pages using the template, e.g in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:NEXTMONTH&diff=next&oldid=848704318]. This often gives unwanted whitespace. A noinclude part should nearly always start at the end of an existing line and not a new line.
[[User:PrimeHunter|PrimeHunter]] ([[User talk:PrimeHunter|talk]]) 21:54, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

{{reply to|PrimeHunter}} I didn't realize that those templates would be need for substitution (my bad). I have specified that the templates I created are NOT to be used with substitution.

Hello Brandon,
I was very confused when I was watching FRIENDS the other day and found out Rachel's last name was spelt "Greene". I went to wikipedia to check if what I saw was true. When I saw that it said "Green" I created a wikipedia accont to see if I could change it to what I saw on TV. Once I made the edit, I was showered in rude remarks and limricks from you! I really thought that wikipedia would be easier to talk to and make edits on. I have absolutly no faith and hope in wikipedia and hope that you learn from your actions. You're canadian too, arent you supose to be nice?!

{{Ping|Kailynpalmer}} Unfortunately wikipedia has polices,  a lot of policies. I had many of my edits undone when I first started (hundreds of edits). The issue was that your were changeling the name of links that messed up the page (making them red) If you can provided me with a reliable source (already on the page or not) I can do the renaming and/or page moving process for you. I understand this is frustrating, but we all have to start from somewhere.

== [[Template:B]] ==

That has nothing to do with boldfacing.  I've restored the proper template code and documentation.  Wikipedia does not have templates as wrappers for basic HTML elements that are re-implemented in <code><nowiki>'''wikimarkup'''</nowiki></code>; attempts to create them have repeatedly been deleted at [[WP:TFD]]; even {{tlx|span}} and {{tlx|div}} were deleted.  We only have template wrappers for non-wikimarkup elements, and mostly only those used in [[Semantic HTML|semantic markup]]: {{tlx|em}}, {{tlx|strong}}, {{tlx|code}}, {{tlx|var}}, {{tlx|kbd}}, {{tlx|samp}}.  PS: The fact that {{tlx|B}} is intended to be substituted is irrelevant. Many templates are, and will even throw an error if you don't do it. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 05:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

== Irish Motorway service stations ==

Why create trivial, [[WP:N|non-notable]] articles like [[Rathcoole services]] and [[Paulstown services]], clogged with even more trivia about coffee machines, picnic tables, and car washes? Are you going to update each one when a Subway is replaced by a Burger King? When they're closed for servicing? Note https://motorwayservices.ie is probably not a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] for determining notability, even if "true".  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, [[WP:NOTTRAVEL|not a travel guide]], or [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY|business directory]], and [[WP:NOTEVERYTHING|not everything belongs in Wikipedia]]. Surely your efforts are better off spent on more notable topics. If anywhere, this type of topic and detail belongs at [[Wikivoyage]], which ''is'' a travel guide.

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

== Your addition of a template indicating that Template:Time Zone should be added ==

I have reverted almost all of your additions of this template during an AWB run on August 10. Infoboxes are not mandatory, and many of the pages present complex historical information that would be hard to represent using an infobox. Others already have one or even two other, more appropriate boxes: Time in Europe, Time in the Middle East, Time in Africa, Time in Russia ... A few, such as [[Jet lag]], are not time zones at all. I found only one page where I felt the addition of the template would be a clear improvement: [[Sri Lanka Standard Time]], which was instead using Infobox:School with an ad hoc illustration. You could more usefully have performed the substitution of templates yourself rather than slapping on a maintenance template. In fact, since unlike me you understand templates well, I request you fix my edit, which leaves an error message regarding the "Current time". It struck me that there are some remaining regions of the world that don't have their own boxes like Time in Africa, etc., so if you really feel there should be an infobox whenever possible, consider creating Time in Oceania or Time in Asia instead. But in many cases there are informative graphics in use that are as much or more useful, such as the International Dateline one.

== Template/module editing needs care ==

I monitor [[:Category:Pages with script errors]] and have had to purge several articles that were in that category due to your edits at various templates/modules. I see that the issue was discussed at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Category:Wikipedia type:landmark page with obscure subdivision|VPT]] ([[Special:PermanentLink/859266029#Category:Wikipedia type:landmark page with obscure subdivision|permalink]]) where mention was made of the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive990#BrandonXLF|recent ANI discussion]]. A previous discussion was at [[User talk:BrandonXLF/Archives/2018#Time templates]] which involved issues raised by three editors with no response from you.

Templates and modules are not the place for bold editing. The first step should be to outline any proposals on the appropriate talk page and give time for any opinions. The purpose of any edits should always be clear from the edit summary which can link to the talk page discussion if necessary. Editing should occur in the template or module sandboxes with appropriate testing before edits that affect articles are made.

{{user|BrandonBot}} was created on 7 September 2018. I suppose you have seen [[WP:Bot policy]] and plan to have the bot approved before it is used. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 01:44, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
:I'm aware of this. I read [[WP:Bot policy]] and know how to use a bot. The reason I didn't replay to [[User talk:BrandonXLF/Archives/2018#Time templates]] was because there was an other discussion about the same issue elsewhere and all the edits were reverted. I know to not make bold edits on templates and modules now, the test looked fine but were obviously not, so now I've read some more guidelines and am doing more test and making discussion first or at least making edits that were recommended by a suggestion (of course still after testing). – [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:#0011ff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 0.15em 0.15em 0.15em #db3a00;'>'''BrandonXLF'''</span>]] [[User talk:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>'''(t@lk)'''</sup></span>]] 01:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I reverted your edit at [[Module:ISO 3166]] because it introduced errors in at least the following articles: [[Luonan Subdistrict]], [[Page Center, Iowa]], [[River Lydden]], [[Seethangoli]]. I then checked your contributions to see if I should undo any related changes you might have made to templates or modules. However, there are far too many for me to check. For example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=&limit=500&contribs=user&target=BrandonXLF&namespace=10&tagfilter=&start=&end= edits to templates] shows 52 edits on or after 13 September 2018, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=500&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=BrandonXLF&namespace=828&tagfilter=&start=&end= edits to modules] shows 107 edits in the same period. Many of these are to sandbox pages so that's good, but the high level of activity is a concern. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 00:12, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

:{{ping|Johnuniq}} I have no clue how those errors happened the edit shouldn't have introduced those errors, those pages weren't evening calling that function (must of been a bug) and it passed my testing. I'm was doign alot of edits to the sandbox because I'm trying to make a better version of the striping function, which needs a lot of minor fixes. How is this much activity a concern? – [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:#0011ff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 0.15em 0.15em 0.15em #db3a00;'>'''BrandonXLF'''</span>]] [[User talk:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>'''(t@lk)'''</sup></span>]] 00:16, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
::I don't want to spend time investigating a complex set of templates/modules to work out exactly what caused the errors in the articles listed above. Before doing anything, I observed that [[Luonan Subdistrict]] (like the others) was displaying an ugly error message in the infobox. To check it wasn't a caching issue, I edited the article and previewed it with no change. The preview showed the same error. Then I looked at "related changes" and saw that you had recently edited [[Module:ISO 3166]]. I edited the revision of that module just before your edit and previewed how [[Luonan Subdistrict]] appeared with the old module. There was no error. I therefore reverted your edit to the module and that fixed the problem in each of the listed articles. It may be that your edit was not at fault—it could, for example, have revealed a problem in some other template/module and that problem might have only been temporary. However, I'm not going to examine exactly what's going on given all the templates/modules recently edited. I cannot reproduce the problem at the moment so have no idea what the fundamental cause was, but it was real as the testing showed. While briefly thinking about that I noticed recent edits to [[Module:ISO 3166/data/National]] which may have been relevant. That module is transcluded on 479,882 pages and its history shows an edit war on 12 September 2018. Don't do that. Prepare stuff in a sandbox, test that it works, then deploy the sandbox versions. There should be single edit to the main template/module, and that edit should be to copy the sandbox. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 01:51, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Johnuniq}}  I know, I made the proper edit then I had to make a edit in the main module, but by the time I was able to make it my edit there was reverted. leading to that.

== A few words of advice... ==

Since you've had a request for Template Editor declined recently, and you're still active on the templates I'm assuming that you still have it in mind to reapply sometime. Can I offer you some advice?
* There's very little that is urgent. A new change, which isn't an urgent bug-fix, can take its time. Discussions usually go on for at least a week.
**Template talk pages are dull and overlooked places - it helps to solicit more input from the relevant WikiProject talk pages.
**Wikipedians are volunteers who have obligations in the real world, they don't jump to for each request or {{tl|ping}}. Show some patience, & avoid creating the impression that you're in an unnecesary rush.
* Test your changes. In the proper places. Check your test results. Don't just test the conditions you're sure will work or are run-of-the mill. Don't ask others to check the results before you've checked them yourself.
* Repeatedly re-opening the edit requests before addressing '''all''' the issues raised in the previous rejection tries everybody's patience and almost guarantees another rejection.
* If you have a bunch of similar requests, make '''one'''. Wait for it to be implemented. Wait a little longer to see if it hits any problems in the real world. Then make the rest of the requests citing the first as an example. There's little that's more off-putting than going to [[User:AnomieBOT/TPERTable]] to check the work queue and seeing a bunch of changes with no testing, little by the way of rationale, and no precedent.
* Back in the day, when sitting exams, they used to say "show your working". It helps. Comments which defy any [[WP:V|verification]] like [[Special:Diff/859058358|"Everything looks fine, I'm done editing it."]] sound more like [[proof by assertion]] and do not help your case.

== Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution ==

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/BrandonXLF|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from [[:Stichting INGKA Foundation]] into [[:INGKA Holding]]. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, [[WP:Copyrights|Wikipedia's licensing]] does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and [[Help:Link#Wikilinks|linking]] to the copied page, e.g., <code>copied content from <nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

== Module:Location map/data ==

The documentation page for [[Module:Location map/data]] is full of errors which seem to be related to your recent edits there, despite the fact that a quick look makes it appear you reverted yourself. Perhaps you did something else which is causing those errors? Please have a look. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 05:33, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Johnuniq}} I found out the only way to remove them is by removing the module (not the documentation), but I don't know how to tag it. 12:11, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
@[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]: There is a strange problem at [[ Module:Location map/data]] which was recently created and then blanked. For some reason the documentation page is showing tons of errors. I suspect that speedy deleting the page per {{tl|db-author}} would solve the problem if you wouldn't mind. The reason for this request is that there appears to be no way to add db-author to a module page. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 04:04, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
: Not sure why you pinged me. Yes, the problem is the page at [[Module:Location map/data]] should not exist, it serves no purpose and is causing the errors as it causes the documentation page to be generated on a page without geographic data. {{U| BrandonXLF}}, if we are correct there is no use for it can you see to it it’s deleted – as long as you make it clear you are the author and want it deleted an admin should have no problems doing so under the speedy deletion policy.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 05:14, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

== [[Module:Jcon]] ==

I have reverted your changes to [[Module:Jcon]]. Your changes broke at least one page, [[Ontario Highway 11]], due to violating the expensive parser function limit. Your changes also led to unnecessary duplication with [[Module:Jct]]. {{tl|Jcon}} now uses the previous module version written in 2014, designed to mimic the original {{tl|jcon}} functionality by acting as an interface to {{tl|jct}}. The data for shields, links, and abbreviations should be added to [[Module:Road data/strings/CAN/ON]], which is used by {{tl|jct}}. Please discuss any further non-trivial changes on the template's talk page or at [[WT:CRWP]]. Thank you. -[[User:Happy5214|happy]][[User talk:Happy5214|5214]] 06:46, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

I have just undone your changes to the template and module as introducing errors to multiple articles, such as [[Kawartha Lakes Road 35]]. Please be more careful in future; when a module or template is already being used in many pages test your changes first in the sandbox, then seek consensus for your changes in the live versions.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 16:50, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

== Template:Lm ==

I have undone your changes to {{tl|lm}} as unexplained, unnecessary and damaging. The template though not much used has been used, and so changing it breaks those uses. It also contradicts the template’s own documentation under [[Template:Lm#Usage]] which says it is for Mediawiki, and breaks the examples under [[Template:Lm#Examples]].

== Edit summaries ==

I have seen it mentioned a few times now, and looking through your contribution history I have to agree - you ''really'' need to start using edit summaries, ''and'' using the "Preview" option so you're not making 10 edits when 1 would do. The former needs to be done so that editors know what you've changed (in general) without having to look at the diff, and the latter is so that one doesn't have to scroll through a half-dozen changes when looking at diffs.

== AdWords to Google Ads CP move ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>BASEPAGENAME}}|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give [[AdWords]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into [[Google Ads]]. This is known as a "[[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves|cut-and-paste move]]", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia|legally required for attribution]].

The reason I have reverted or rollbacked all your CP move edits is that the title "Google Ads" has been opposed by a discussion here ([[Talk:AdWords#Requested move 24 July 2018]]. We need to confirm whether "Google Ads" is the common name, rather than "AdWords". I suggest you start a request move discussion in the talk page as I did before. For article page move problems caused by redirects namespace, it can be done here ([[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests]]. Just submit a request here, rather than doing a CP move and requesting a histmerge afterward. Cheers. –[[User:Wefk423|Wefk423]] ([[User talk:Wefk423|talk]]) 09:50, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

::A heads up for you... I saw that you have created a request move discussion in [[Talk:AdWords]], but the problem is that the request was not made with a substituted template (see [[Template:Requested move]]). This prevents the RMCD bot to generate the updated list and could not do tasks such as posting a notice to the article page. I have helped you fix the request [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:AdWords&diff=863230267&oldid=863080451 here].

Hi Example.

*Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing [[WP:TW|Twinkle]].
*Rollback should be used to revert ''clear'' cases of [[WP:VAND|''vandalism'']] ''only'', and not [[WP:AGF|good faith edits]].
*Rollback should never be used to [[WP:EDITWAR|edit war]].
*If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
*Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see [[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback]] (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my [[User talk:AGK|talk page]] if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Please also see my comment at your initial [[WP:RFP|RfP]]:

== Your changes to to "0s" decades and centuries ==

Check [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=0s&namespace=10 what templates links to "0s"]. These year-navigation templates all assume that the decade is the primary topic. You can't just boldly make the kind of changes you've been making without breaking stuff. A lot of template work was required to move the years [[AD 1]] through [[AD 10]] off of the primary topic for the bare number. Note that [[11]] the year is ambiguous, as are years/numbers up to [[100]], while [[101]] and above are years. These kind of changes should be discussed first, as they require a lot of back-end work to coordinate the changes so that they are made smoothly without too much disruption of the navigation templates and navigation between related articles. I'm going to revert some of your changes so that further discussion and analysis can be done. Please take a look at [[Talk:AD 1]] and [[Talk:AD 1/Archive 1]] to get an idea of the potential complexity involved in this sort of change. – [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 13:18, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Template:Userbox-s]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Template:Userbox-s]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]] because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<kbd><nowiki><noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude></nowiki></kbd>). 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Template:Userbox-s|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:List of policies|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 {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Template%3AUserbox-s|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-t3-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> '''[[User:Zackmann08|<span style="color:#00ced1">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>]]''' (<sup>[[User_talk:Zackmann08|Talk to me]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Zackmann08|<span style="color:orange;">What I been doing</span>]]</sub>) 20:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

== Small mistake on {{tl|spellnum}} ==

Hi Brandon:

With [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Spellnum&diff=865932210&oldid=715902546 this edit], you introduced a small error to the template: there is a line break after the <nowiki></noinclude></nowiki> tag that ends up as part of the template output. This shows up in particular when the output is used inside a table. You almost certainly already know this, but when you add a noinclude section to a template, make sure there is nothing, not even a line break, that gets added to the visible output. It's unfortunate that MediaWiki won't ignore such a line break, since it would be helpful to make the template code easier to read, but that's the way it is at present. —[[User:Swpb|<u>swpb</u>]]<sup>[[User talk:Swpb|''T'']] [[Wikipedia:Beyond civility|go beyond]]</sup> 17:37, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

A week ago [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BrandonXLF&diff=865450474&oldid=865449341 you agreed] not to create any new pages for at least a month. But only a week later and you are creating modules and templates. And again the template is one we do not need, in this case because there is already a template that does the same.

Please stop making modules and templates, as you already agreed to. Take some time to familiarise yourself with the encyclopaedia, working on other things, whether making new articles, improving existing ones or dealing with backlogs of editing tasks. Once you know your way around the encyclopaedia you will have a much better handle on what templates exist, and so be better able to spot opportunities for improvement in them. Many still could do with converting to Lua, for example.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 16:35, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Template:Point]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Template:Point]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]] because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<kbd><nowiki><noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude></nowiki></kbd>). 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Template:Point|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:List of policies|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 {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Template%3APoint|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-t3-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> '''[[User:Zackmann08|<span style="color:#00ced1">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>]]''' (<sup>[[User_talk:Zackmann08|Talk to me]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Zackmann08|<span style="color:orange;">What I been doing</span>]]</sub>) 17:12, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

It's not just creating unnecessary templates that's the issue; you've been disruptive in multiple areas recently. When you create a pointless template, it wastes time because it has to go through TFD. When you make a dozen edits to a single template or article ''without a single edit summary'' you waste the time of the people trying to (quickly) figure out what you're doing. Heck, just the fact that it takes you a quick dozen edits (even though you claim you use the preview option) wastes our time. When you refuse to accept the possibility that what you did with AWB was disruptive and kept doing it, you waste our time. I have spent an inordinate amount of time cleaning up after you, and so obviously I'm heavily involved, but you just don't seem to get that ''almost everything you've done'' is disruptive.

Now, in fairness, the overall result of ''some'' of your work has been useful - you haven't been a ''complete'' net negative. It's just the ''way'' that you edit that I find extremely problematic. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 20:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

:{{ping|EdJohnston|Primefac}} I'm inclined to side with Brandon here. It wasn't ever really made clear that Brandon was not to touch that namespace after the block was lifted. Obviously I defer to you, but I'd recommend reducing this from a month to maybe a few days and making it crystal clear to Brandon to stay out of the Module and Template namespace. Don't even leave comments on the talk pages. This includes documentation pages. Just work on something else. I'm happy to monitor them. If they do it again, block for 6 months. Just my 2 cents. I think this is a case of someone who really is trying to do the right thing but just gets too eager. --'''[[User:Zackmann08|<span style="color:#00ced1">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>]]''' (<sup>[[User_talk:Zackmann08|Talk to me]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Zackmann08|<span style="color:orange;">What I been doing</span>]]</sub>) 20:51, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

*Hi BrandonXLF, I'm Kevin. I've spent some time reviewing this, and I have a hunch that you're understanding that the community has concerns with your edits a bit better now. I can tell you're invested in Wikipedia and want to improve this encyclopedia, so (if {{U|Primefac}} agrees) let's try to work something out here. For a while (that is, until you've convinced an administrator like me or Primefac that issues won't recur), you agree not to edit template/module pages, and you agree to refrain from using automated tools like AWB. Huggle, that's fine, I'm not seeing immediate issues there (unless someone else disagrees). I'm also personally inclined to let you edit template sandboxes and talk pages, but I hope you'll be judicious (don't focus on templates/modules!!) and my strongest recommendation is that you turn your attention somewhere else for now – article content work, or perhaps recent changes patrol if you must. Also, you really need to include edit summaries – make it a habit for every edit. I often use VE when doing article work; you can definitely include summaries. If you find yourself forgetting to include summaries, it's probably a sign you're editing too fast and not putting enough thought into each edit. For example, two weeks ago, you made about 30 edits on [[Template:ON former/testcases]] in about 23 minutes. There's no real reason to be editing that fast, and especially when you're editing the same page a whole bunch of times in a row – use previews! Anyway, if those conditions are acceptable to you, I will ask Primefac if they agree to an unblock here.

::[[User:L235|Kevin]], Thank you for reviewing this, I 100% accept and agree with these conditions as they seem very reasonable. I will refrain from the template and module spaces for a while as you said. Being able to edit the sandboxes and talk pages of the spaces would be really appreciated. I will work on including edit summaries and use previews, It's completely my fault I'm not, but what I'm saying is the software doesn't ''force'' (or push) you too do so (in my opinion). I'll stay away from automated tools for a while as you recommended. I will not be focusing on templates and modules, but if you allow me to edit sandboxes can I also edit testcases to test my edits? I really appreciate your understanding of the situation and your recommendations. –&nbsp;[[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:#0011ff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 0.15em 0.15em 0.15em #db3a00;'>'''BrandonXLF'''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>'''(t@lk)'''</sup></span>]] 01:28, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

::::{{ping|L235}} Thanks for reviewing the whole situation. Nice to have someone with a fresh set of eyes looking at it. I've been on both sides of this, both supporting a block and very vocal about lifting the block. I've also offered on multiple occasions to be helpful to Brandon. The one thing I will say is that I feel very strongly Brandon should stay out of the template and module namespaces 100% for a period of time after the block is lifted. The fact that they continue to try to find ways to edit sandboxes or test cases demonstrates (at least to me) [[WP:NOTGETTINGIT|a lack of getting it]]. Their continued ''ok well no templates, but what about template sandboxes? No sandboxes, ok, well can I still update the documentation?'' There is so much work to be done that doesn't involve templates or modules, areas where he has demonstrated time and time again that he just causes problems. So I would support immediately lifting the block but under the condition that there is a complete ban on any edits in the Template or Module namespace until such time as an admin says otherwise. To me this includes sandbox, documentation, testcase, talk, ANY page that starts with "Template" or "Module". Just work on something else for a while. 
::::Additionally I find it concerning that Brandon continues to push off the blame onto other software saying that it doesn't force you to add an edit summary... Maybe stop using that software then? --'''[[User:Zackmann08|<span style="color:#00ced1">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>]]''' (<sup>[[User_talk:Zackmann08|Talk to me]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Zackmann08|<span style="color:orange;">What I been doing</span>]]</sub>) 01:46, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

{{od|6}}To sum up {{u|L235|Kevin's}} points above, it looks like we have the following unblock conditions:
*No editing in the Template and Module namespaces ([[WP:NS|10 and 828]]) for 6 months, with the exception of the sandbox/testcases.
*An attempt will be made to use edit summaries whenever possible.
*An attempt will be made to limit the edit rate per page (as mentioned, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:ON_former/testcases&action=history 23 edits in 23 minutes] on a single page is a bit much) by using the Preview option more judiciously
*A failure to hold with the final two points (assuming multiple warnings are left) will be considered [[WP:DE|disruptive editing]].
If Kevin and Brandon are okay with this, I'll go ahead and unblock. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 16:35, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Primefac}} That's seams basically fine, but Kevin was also saying he's is inclined to let me edit the template/module sandboxes and talk pages, of course the talk pages aren't in namespaces 10 and 828, but the sandboxes are. I was also requesting the ability to edit testcases. How do you feel about that? Also, for the 6 month I can't edit those namespaces, is there a particular editor I ask to do the edit or do I just do the normal edit request, these edits would likely be small (such as adding a like to a navbox etc). –&nbsp;[[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:#0011ff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 0.15em 0.15em 0.15em #db3a00;'>'''BrandonXLF'''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>'''(t@lk)'''</sup></span>]] 16:46, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

:::::I just want to voice that I'm still concerned that once this block is lifted, we are going to see Brandon doing nothing but editing Template Sandboxes and testcases. I truly hope that I am wrong. I am both willing and eager to be proven wrong here! But I want to make sure that the admins here keep an eye on the edits once the block is lifted. I could see Brandon very easily failing into the same pattern of disruptive behavior with editing of Sandboxes. Brandon, please keep in mind that a sandbox doesn't mean that the template is not used elsewhere. Yes, the sandbox is for testing, but breaking the sandbox can have consequences elsewhere. I strongly urge you to avoid template editing for a while. I AM NOT an admin so I can't tell you what to do... But I have offered to help you and tutor you on multiple occasions. I can tell you right now that if your block is lifted and the first thing you do is make 500 edits to testcases and sandboxes, this is going to signal [[WP:NOTGETTINGIT]] loud and clear. You won't be in violation of you restrictions and won't be banned based on what has been said above, but it will demonstrate to people like me who were and are happy to help you, that you just don't get it.

You should not have closed your own move proposal for [[Talk:Queen Street (Toronto)|Queen Street (Toronto)]]. This is a violation of the rules at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Who can close requested moves]]. You have a clear conflict of interest in the outcome of that discussion. The request was barely open for a day before you closed it; it should have been allowed to run for a full seven days. Then there's the issue that it wasn't really a move but a copy-paste or merge, and there are separate templates for proposing merges. You've either not read or ignored any number of rules that you've broken, without a clear rationale for why the rules needed to be broken.

:I'll actually expand a bit upon what Wbm1058 is saying - in addition to closing your own RM, you did a bunch of copy/paste page moves (see the section below for my feelings on that particular issue) as well as ''merging the talk pages'', something that should ''almost never be done''. There are very specific circumstances for that sort of thing, and this was not it. If three pages are merged together, their talk pages generally stay where they were (even though they might get replaced by a #REDIRECT).

:::{{ping|Zackmann08}} Have you considered adding the 8 main subpages of [[Template:Infobox chemical]] right into the template? This would mean less templates would be used (faster load times maybe) and it would make sure all uses of the infobox are unified. These would be [[Template:Infobox chemical/explosive]], [[Template:Infobox chemical/hazards]], [[Template:Infobox chemical/identifiers]], [[Template:Infobox chemical/pharmacology]], [[Template:Infobox chemical/properties]], [[Template:Infobox chemical/related]], [[Template:Infobox chemical/structure]] and [[Template:Infobox chemical/thermochemistry]].

{{ping|Zackmann08}} I think I see another "issue". The infobox above parameter currently is <code><nowiki>{{#if:{{{Name|}}}|{{{Name}}}|{{PAGENAME}}}}</nowiki></code>. The if statement is not needed can can be replaced with <code><nowiki>{{{Name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}</nowiki></code>. I was also wondering if I can edit the ''Usage'' section of the documentation as some of the description of the parameters don't align with the parameter, making it confusing to read and understand (this is apparent at the end of ''Medium form'' and throughout ''Full form''. I also wanted to add descriptions to a right column for ''Small, simple form'' to make using the template easier. <span style="white-space: nowrap;">– [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:#0011ff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 0.15em 0.15em 0.15em #db3a00;'>'''BrandonXLF'''</span>]] [[User talk:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>'''(t@lk)'''</sup></span>]]</span> 05:22, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

::{{ping|Zackmann08}} I noticed that {{tl|Parameter names example}} isn't showing the sections, so I created a template a [[User:BrandonXLF/B]] that would allow the sections to be shown.

Dear Brandon,

Recently, I have noticed you submitting multiple edit requests for the module and template namespaces. There is nothing wrong with this, but after hearing about your T-ban I read through some of your talk page archives to find out the full story. Reading about your extensive experience in both namespaces, I was wondering if you would be willing to teach me how to use the module namespace?

{{ping|Zackmann08|Primefac}} to check that this would be okay or for other suggestions about mentors.

I'm really interested in learning how modules work, but I haven't been able to find a lot of explanations.

Thanks,
