Couple noticeable changes to Special:Nuke when the tool is accessed directly from the contribs page. The "Select all/none/invert" links no longer work. And clicking the action button no longer produces an in-browser popup requiring confirmation. Which means deletion is now immediate rather than confirming the action with a message along the lines of "you're about to delete 15 pages, are you sure?")

Hello, Jayne! I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing this message to ask you if my edits for an article will get published or not? Bhoimus reached out to me asking if I'm affiliated with Snake.io and when I confirmed that I am not in anyway affiliated and clarifying that I'm just an avid fan of the game who wants to share knowledge about the game to other players, Bhoimus referred me to you to confirm if my edits to the article entitled Games to Play When You're Bored will be published. I hope that it gets clarified and I'll take note to be more mindful next time in making edits and as well as publishing an article moving forward. Thank you!

Alright, thank you for clarifying this one, Jayne. Thank you and take care! :)

Hello Jayne, I am wikiLia and this is my new account. Unfortunately my old account was hacked and nominated for deletion... and I lost all my contribs and stuff. Anyway, not the point. My new forums account has been on hold for way too long, and the hold was placed by @system. I know I should be contacting them but idk if they are a bot or not.

Hi, I ran across this page which was created by this user , and was wondering if it was someone who was supposed to be doing that. If it is, no need to ignore this. I just thought I would bring it to your attention.

Ran across another question, but this one concerns a staff article. One of the nfd reasons for the template is "Potty humor", however, WRM just made the article Poop Jokes . That seems, at least to me, a tad hypocritical.

Hi Jayne! Would you be able to shed some light here ?

In reference to Bhoimus' message above, greenbox works on PC, but the title doesn't appear in bold on mobile.

Please loop me in, with this, because I have more to share.

I found that when previewing, the bolding of the greenbox is working. Yet, when it's placed and seen on the finished result, the bolding is lost - regardless of PC and mobile.

I'm liking the forums well so far, for being so new they're working well, I like that comments have to be approved by moderators so that it's not a digital free for all lol :)

p.s. I recently used Special:ComparePages . When comparing pages, the avatars of both the editors are absurdly enlarged. I don't recall it being like that ;)

I am curious about how quizzes on wikiHow work, so I would like to create Quiz Sandbox in mainspace to experiment with <quizdata> entities, like Sandbox for basic editing skills. I already tried this in my userspace , but it didn't work. Thanks.

why cant i write an article

Hi! How have you been? Haven't seen you much lately, but I suppose that means I'm doing things correctly. Could some edits like this one be added to Patrol Coach? I don't tend to run edits similar to the ones the coach gives very often.

You'll find caps lock on the left side of the keyboard :)

Hi! how can I write about locksmith and locks ?

I need to delete this. was done in error

what is everyone's fav game to play???

"Congrats, JayneG and the entire wikiHow team, on 20 amazing years! Your dedication to sharing knowledge and helping people worldwide is truly inspiring. Wishing you continued success and many more years of making a difference!

Thank you

Alright, thanks. Would it be OK to make my own code to go through and find errors such as Playstation (as opposed to PlayStation)?

Hey—the experiment was successful :D

I have an assignment do and I have to create and can't completed it because it says i have to be an expert. I have to post a wikihow assignment. I need to post an article i wrote. please help me .

What I meant was: is it ok to create a custom code (client side only) that makes a list of said errors and saves it to my computer?

Just wanted to make sure that 2 hours was sufficient for this user . After 22 added periods, I felt like it wasn't going to stop soon 😅

yo

Hi I want to post an article on your website but publish@wikihow.com isn't responding kindly let me post an article I'll be very thankful to you

how long will it take if you post a question in forum because lets say i think its been like 1 mont since i left a message or i dont really know but i understand but still. Im looking forward to when someone is gonna replie. Is mine gonna publish or???

But the thing is we helped so much still. How much should we helpomore??

Hola!! Me han gustado mucho los foros que tratan temas de problemas personales, es genial poder darles una perspectiva diferente a las personas frente a sus circunstancias.

Hi Jayne, I would like to add an article about How to "E-Sign a Word Document". What is the next step I can do for that?

Hi! Checking in before I do the NAB test - is this the correct link?

Thanks!

p.s. What's an NCA edit?

Thanks! What about STU ?

Saw Bhoimus's message and couldn't help myself. Is STU by any chance Silent Thumbs-Up?

I have added new screenshots to Update Whatsapp on Android on 16th using a near-stock Android 15 device, however Wikivisual updated again earlier today. Not only Wikivisual shouldn't be updating screenshots as I have updated a few days ago, it is also because Wikivisual used an older Android version (13) than mine (15). That time Wikivisual spent updating should have spent adding images to other articles, especially mine.

Thank!

Hi, I wanna write an article.

Thanks for the other Forums JayneG!

Second-guessing my edit here —could you confirm?

Hi! Could you move Stop a Nose Bleed to Stop a Nosebleed (it's one word not two) Source

ye I found this forum off on Google so I just try to help people.

Hi, Just wanted to reach out about using this template . Thanks for the information in advance.

Also, I ran across this interesting little effect .

I did some experimenting. As funny as this is, it should probably be patched. Lots of abuse potential

Happy Friday! I got a new phone yesterday so I was trying out some new settings and noticed a "Dark theme sites" option in my browser which produced this result . I'm curious if this is an official dark mode (i.e., my phone is asking the site to display as dark mode) or if it's my browser doing all the work and changing to a dark counterpart of colours on its own :)

Neat! Cool to see that technology has progressed to the point of approximating a dark mode for sites. My eyes can finally be happy

Okay, thanks! I redirected it to the one which showed more views.

p.s. It's not everyday that you have to prove that you're not an AI to a new user  :) Had the conversation continued even further, would it have been okay to send the chat template? Someone trying to learn about who welcomed them seems more tolerable than the "usual" excessive chatting cases.

Does AI auto-approve comments as well? Either ways, please delete my comment at https://www.wikihow.com/Forum/Discussion-I-Cant-Sleep-What-Should-I-Do since I was just testing something. Thanks in advance!

danke einen schönen Tag noch.

Thank You 😊

For the dark mode theme as User:Tiagoroth requested, it is added natively on MediaWiki 1.43. Because wikiHow runs outdated MediaWiki 1.33, it has no native dark mode support (until wikiHow upgrades MediaWiki to 1.43).

Hi JayneG,

I appreciate all the work you do on WikiHow! I had a question regarding [mention your topic, e.g., article edits, publishing guidelines, or any relevant issue]. Could you clarify [your specific question]? Looking forward to your insights!

Thanks in advance!

hey! thanks for commenting on my talk page, I found the new forums just by browsing wikiHow I wanted to know how the site was doing and there been a lot of upgrades for sure!

I want to make an article but I can’t

Yeah, I'm a little bit paranoid about vandalism/abuse/griefing. I'm working on it though. Thanks for the info about why the title is how it is, I'll keep that in mind next time I see one. And finally, it seems like Bhoimus made the right call regarding the template. I'll try to avoid Seymour-style templates for now. I kinda figured that if I wasn't meant to be using it, the site would have stopped me, Clearly, I was mistaken :)

Would you want to have a look at the Welcome Wagon ? Relates to https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=User_talk:JayneG&diff=33241807&oldid=33241738 .

I'm curious about your opinion on the one flagged question/answer in the queue. Barring relevance to the article, I did some research and it appears the term is actually embraced by the traveller population in the UK/Ireland, so the details are apparently only particularly notable in the US

Watchlist now mobile-responsive. Yippee!

I did, thanks so much :)

Also, to the extent of my knowledge, I'm not NAB .

Works for me! 🙂 I was on the other side of the fence

OH. Good to know!

Hi. I'm new so just saying HI!!!

hello so I was going to ask how do I make a quiz

Regarding recipes, I requested images for Make Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies and Make Two-Ingredient Cookies to Wikivisual two to three weeks ago, but Wikivisual didn't add images yet. Why?

Are you an AI?

Jane?

jayne?

imma call you jay

Hi! I came across this edit (don't ask how) and was wondering: What is tips patrol? I don't think I've seen it... ever.

Thank you for the reply!

Thank you!

How do you feel about comments like this one ? I occasionally see that form of spam where the comment is good but with an additional link, though this isn't a good representation of what I normally see since usually the link is actually related to the thread. I typically just remove the promo content and send it through

Snagged the link from the "Moderate this comment here" but it would be fantastic to have that implemented in general 😄 I can usually find the ID by trial and error if I know what the most recent comments are since it's sequential

hello, I would like to ask if wikiHow can hold talent shows for schools and also how it works as well.

Alright, thanks :)

Can I use it in spanish or only in english? Thanks

Hi Jayne, Thanks for letting me be in here.

Thankyou so much for letting me know! Sorry but How do you do it?

Oh sorry never mind I alrady did :) Thankjyou so much!

and by the way when you posted in forum will you recieve a email that is has been accepted to reply or that someone aswerd? and are you able to also delete a forum post you made?

)

Can you please categorize the new image template https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Template:UserImage&action=edit ? Its uncategorized and fully-protected.

maybe check again?

i have! the quizzes are so fun!

[ https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Sandbox&curid=1548&diff=33270736&oldid=33267858&rcid=32611727&namespace=&invert=0&associated=0&reverse=0&redirect=no&fromrc=1 made this edit on my phone. Any reason it doesn't say mobile edit?

Looks to be fixed :)

Thanks.

Then where do I see my questions answerd then?

I mean becuase there are so much forum questions that many have answerd and I posted alot of questions.

The Leaderboards got a responsify update. However, now the filter drop-down doesn't open and the lines and placement of each listing is off-kilter.

Thanks for the thumbs up!

I enjoy replying to people and helping with their problems the best I can! It's much less stressful than making my own wikihow article.

I sure hope so! I've left questions of my own in the forum. But so far none have been approved /:

ok but will they be answerd? or atleast will someone answer them but not posting them?

Its not fair because i really have been wating for a long time

The number of QnAs in Q&A Patrol is showing the correct number on the dashboard now. Thanks.

No! What are they?

One good thing about all these Special namespace page responsifies. My mobile login issue hasn't been a problem for me anymore on Edge. But I'm crossing my fingers that I haven't jinxed it.

I love to help people anyway I can so I love it when people find happiness anyway they can no matter what I will find a way to cheer people up if they had a bad day I like to see people happy before I myself get happy just seeing someone I care about happy makes me happy even if I don´t know them I want them to be happy

After all the responsifying and even on desktop too, the TOC was lost, and was integral to the workings of large lists. Now I had to scroll big time to get to those sections below my mainspace watched pages. https://www.wikihow.com/Special:EditWatchlist

Do the kind of contributions seem familiar to you?

I love this community it feels like I can change people for the better and help them find the happiness they deserve and make sure they are happy

Thank you I will reply back when you get this please

Watchlist edit page!

ok! I got it.Thanks

Quick message to pass this on re: staff inuse :) Enjoy this weekend!

you know you are doing just as much if not more then me encouraging people to make more heart felt comments you are a great person inside and out I look forward to helping improve people´s happiness and love they need happiness and they will find that happiness sooner or latter

Hey JayneG, I was wondering why I can't publish my own article? I worked for 2 days to make an article and for some reason it won't let me post it. So it brought me here! So I was wondering if you can help me with this?

Happy Monday! I have finally nailed down a potential bug that I had suspected for a little bit of time but managed to replicate myself. I had a suspicion that flagged Q&A pairs were being processed by the same AI that is handling Q&A in general, which generally adds some confusion to the handling of flags as the answer that was flagged is not the answer that is shown. Noticed it here with the relevant response . A successful replication shows the following:

Original flagged question: "Should I shuffle flashcards every time I use them?"Question that shows up in Fix Flagged Answers: "Is it beneficial to shuffle flashcards every time I use them?"

Original flagged answer: "Yes, shuffling would be helpful."Answer that shows up in the tool: "Shuffling flashcards can be beneficial because it helps you remember the content without relying on the order of the cards."

If it's not a bug and the intention is to eventually phase out this tool, that makes sense :)

Hello Jayne! It's been a while but I'm going to be taking a small break from WikiHow editing to focus on my studies and when I come back will be taking the welcomer test. I'm so excited to be on the team!😁

thank you so much

I have been off for a while to continue my school and so I am not behind and thanks so much for letting me be on the team

I don't think it causes issues but it does appear to make the flag largely unnecessary in most cases I've seen (copyediting, incorrect) since it would automatically solve these problems itself, though I can see that it wouldn't be able to solve duplication, wrong topic, inappropriate, or also sometimes incorrect.

After checking again, it's very interesting that the changes are applied automatically before the flag is removed as well! The example in the previous message on Teach Yourself a Language Using Flashcards shows in the article despite not having been handled in the tool yet

Thank you so much! :)

what di he mean looks like Christoffer gave me a link??

no problem you are helping me open up to people I love more and more you help me and make me feel like opening up is good so people understand what you are going through and I found out something because of your help

Heya Jayne, hope you're well. May you help this user with question #1 here re. the forums? I wasn't sure if approved questions were still staff-controlled to some extent.

I remember you saying something about removing "Damn" from the forum comments but it appears that the auto approve didn't get that message :) Not a huge deal but I'm curious if it also applies to other words

Came across "Spam / Abuse Detected: shit" on a big red banner, so I guess that answers my question for one word 😄

Gotcha! Thankyou so much for helping me!
