A kitten for you!
[edit]
Thank you for being part of the fight against vandalism on English Wikipedia, and being one of the top five most active pending changes reviewers in the last 30 days. Your hard work is very much appreciated, please keep it up.

You're quietly helping me ...?
[edit]TheWikiToby, you seem to have done the needful to do archiving of various Talk conversations I've had. Thanks, though it would have been appreciated all the more if you'd called my attention to that, though I know I've been behind the curve in following through on your comment about the need for that.
Congratulations on your Defender of the Wiki barnstar, which I see just above my message here. Augnablik (talk) 07:46, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Augnablik I'm not sure what you're really talking about since I haven't been archiving any of your stuff. The Teahouse archiving is taken care of by a bot btw TheWikiToby (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- I can't remember now where I saw a notification of my archived material and your name.
- Wish I'd taken a screenshot. If ever I see it again. I will. Augnablik (talk) 17:05, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Say what …?
[edit]Hi, TheWikiToby. I just read your reply in the Teahouse, "FYI for passerbys, OP has put up the retirement banner 10 minutes after the first response for this." Wanted to understand but didn't. Could you translate for me?
BTW, it's passers-by. Augnablik (talk) 03:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- You can look at the OP's (Original Poster's) user page User:Caman9899. They put up the template signalling their account's retirement which means they intend to indefinitely pause all editing on that account. TheWikiToby (talk) 03:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Aha. Got it. Augnablik (talk) 03:47, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, TheWikiToby,
I don't know why you tagged this page for speedy deletion, CSD U1 is only for tagging your own User pages for deletion, not other editors'. You shouldn't have even been editing this page, please do not tag other editors' User pages for deletion unless CSD U5 applies or you want to tag them for an MFD discussion. But neither of those factors applied here. In general, it's best to edit within your own User space and leave other editors' alone. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 19:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz Hello Liz. The author opened a Teahouse thread asking for their sandbox and that page to be deleted, but did not know how to do so. I tagged it for them with an explanation in the template explaining why.
- The custom text in the template is pretty hard to notice though since it's not differentiated from the background or default text in any way, so it's completely understandable to miss it. TheWikiToby (talk) 19:39, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
