Bro

(using Template:Message) How, DARE you edit Template:Portal games to add desolation before I did? I was LITERALLY just about to add it when you edited it! I cannot BELIEVE THIS!

JK, thanks for the work my man :)

(using Template:Message) Dude I was so scared when I saw the "You have a new message" popup appear, my mind was already awaiting a warning or something. Glad to have helped with wiki --Wisdurm (talk) 20:41, 15 Dec 2023 (UTC) --Equalizer5118 (talk) 20:31, 15 Dec 2023 (UTC)

Failed edits...

(using Template:Message) Double-check your bot's edits, I accidentally discovered the following errors on these pages, maybe that's not all... Cycler, Color_correction_volume, db_camera_collision --NOUG4AT (talk) 13:47, 4 Jan 2024 (UTC)

(using Template:Message) Thanks for the heads up! I already noticed the problem with cycler, but the two other I hadn't noticed. They're both quite weird bugs caused by either pages not having much content or being really weirdly formatted. Nevertheless, I'll be sure to fix them. --Wisdurm (talk) 13:52, 4 Jan 2024 (UTC)

Ability to use API

(using Template:Message) How long did it take for your bot to become able to use the API? Autoconfirm on Wikipedia takes 4 days but you seemed to be able to use the API sooner than that. --PeeBot (talk) 23:00, 4 Jan 2024 (UTC)

(using Template:Message) I'm not entirely sure how it all works, but you should be able to do most basic API actions immediately, that's at least my experience. The VDC is obviously quite different from Wikipedia in a lot ways. From my knowledge being added to the Autoconfirmed users group takes 5 days, I think (and hope since WisdomBot isn't in it yet), based on this. This however does not limit usage of the API much. I'm using the DotNetWikiBot Framework, and the only problems I've ran into is not being able to create pages (since there's a check as to whether you're a bot, which the API can't do) and not being able to move pages, both of which are due to not being autoconfirmed. My advice is to just mess around in your user sandbox and see what you're allowed to do. --Wisdurm (talk) 0:23, 5 Jan 2024 (UTC)

(using Template:Message) That sounds right, for some reason I thought your bot was autoconfirmed. I'm using the same framework, and it appears that I can create pages if I use my main account. --Pee (talk) 0:37, 5 Jan 2024 (UTC)

Thankful

(using Template:Message) Hey thanks for finding the errors, to be honest it was terrible for me... Also for improving the templates. I did everything in a hurry with the desire to make a lot of “good” edits, as a result I had to make more corrections. BUT thank you again, also regarding your bot, after seeing your experience, I myself decided to make something similar. Nice actually, I like your implementation by the way.

(using Template:Message) No worries. I've definitely also done a good amount of haphazard edits to the wiki just to do something "good". Also sorry for my demeanor on the message on Thunder4ik's page, I definitely came across as way too rude.

(using Template:Message) Everything is fine :) I myself may have been rude when I pointed out some failed edits to you, but overall, your comment was very useful :) --NOUG4AT (talk) 20:20, 5 Jan 2024 (UTC) --Wisdurm (talk) 19:56, 5 Jan 2024 (UTC) --NOUG4AT (talk) 19:46, 5 Jan 2024 (UTC)

Strange thing

(using Template:Message) I don’t know if you need to know this, but I found one problem on this page after editing your bot, I can’t say what it’s connected with, it’s a strange thing, if anything I fixed it. Thing Removed closed }} (flags)

(using Template:Message) Yeah I know, I only found about the bug and fixed it later, so some of the earlier edited pages might have that problem. Its thankfully nothing big, but still rather annoying

(using Template:Message) Thank you, ok, keep it up anyway! Good work. --NOUG4AT (talk) 7:09, 7 Jan 2024 (UTC) --Wisdurm (talk) 23:51, 6 Jan 2024 (UTC) --NOUG4AT (talk) 19:28, 6 Jan 2024 (UTC)

Mapbase abuse

(using Template:Message) Hey man, about this. I used a template for optimization, to be honest, I don't think it should be done that way. I did it because someone else did it, so I decided to improve someone else’s edit, but I don’t think it’s necessary. I think we can get rid of it, hundreds of MapBase links are really not very good... For example, I was just looking at an article from an vanilla Wikipedia about  motherboard (the topic is not important) -> motherboard words is not highlighted... which should say something. Also, the dude who started these edits today did very strange actions, for some reason duplicating the old code, or adding unnecessary templates. --NOUG4AT (talk) 17:26, 9 Jan 2024 (UTC)

(using Template:Message) Yeah I supposed so. As for Utopic Tahu, they seem to be trying to make pages better. I don't think they're a vandal, but just someone who doesn't quite know how pages on the wiki should be written.  You should typically always assume good faith --Wisdurm (talk) 17:50, 9 Jan 2024 (UTC)

VTFEDIT RELOADED

(using Template:Message) I feel like I’ll have to write to you every time after edits)) I thought that there was no need to indicate the original authors (since it is indicated that this is a fork). --NOUG4AT (talk) 14:30, 10 Jan 2024 (UTC)

(using Template:Message) Yeah honestly I don't think it's needed either, I just quickly copied the text from the other persons edit because I wasn't sure why you undid it. I assume it was because the edit made the infobox look a bit shite. Also I think you could've just removed the original authors and left your message as the edit summary instead, if there was any disagreement after that then I think a message would be worth it. Nevertheless, thanks for notifying --Wisdurm (talk) 14:37, 10 Jan 2024 (UTC)

Does Mapbase belong on Template:branch-navbox?

(using Template:Message) Hey man, I'm asking all active editors of the VDC to respond to the survey on my user page on whether or not Mapbase is an engine branch or not. I would like it if you submitted a response! --Equalizer5118 (talk) 17:04, 12 Jan 2024 (UTC)

Time logic

(using Template:Message) Hey! I see that you tried to realize a time logic (userbox for...), i don't know how it can help you, but... i think that it can be useful for this:
some skits
|2:05pm, March 23, 2023 ''({{#expr:({{#time:U|now}}-1676627100) / 86400 round0}} days and counting)'' |2:05pm, December 19, 2010 ''({{#expr:({{#time:U|now}}-1292767500) / 86400 round0}} days and counting)'' --NOUG4AT (talk) 18:15, 1 Apr 2024 (UTC)

(using Template:Message) My suggest to do smth in next format: {{userbox User for | year=2023 | month=12 | day=25 | hour=10 | minute=30 | second=45 }} But the countdown should be right from today --NOUG4AT (talk) 18:28, 1 Apr 2024 (UTC)
