User talk:The Red

Newbie

You seem to have have misunderstood the situation. I warned him not to edit-war on this article. He had already 3 reverts in a row and was about to cross the 3R rule. I knw he might not be aware of that rule, that's why I just informed him. Other than that he was misusing the welcome template at others talk pages. Moreover he removed sourced content which was added by another user w/o ever listening to him and has warned that user which clearly constituted an edit war. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 03:59, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But the user you were warning was a newbie themself, and they were using a default vandalism template, most likely not knowing that that it comes out to be more of a welcome message rather than a warning message. We shouldn't scare people away because they make a few mistakes at the start. The Red ╬ 16:25, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did warn him only for the 3Revert-rule and not for misusing the template. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 16:35, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New huggle 3.1 is going to be released soon

Hi The_Red, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ #huggle ^connect!

Major changes:

Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far

In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:19, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle message

Hey The_Red! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers

I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/

Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.

Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 10:05, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
