slakr's life is currently frolicking with chaos, so his activity and response times to queries will be highly variable. Leave a message and he will respond whenever he gets a chance— that is, assuming he gets a chance. Cheers =) zOMG!!! I need urgent assistance!!!1!! — banana? — kiwi? |
Ideally, please use this link to post new messages at the bottom. If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago. Cheers :)
| Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | |

Regarding slakr: Why did my page get deleted?
Please see Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? first. I have no idea what you're talking about. What's vandalism?
If you received a warning from me and you're not logged in, you might have gotten an old warning I sent to someone who shares your IP address. On the other hand, if you've made recent edits and received a recent warning message from me and you genuinely believe that it's not vandalism, don't fret-- simply drop me a message below, because I could have simply made a silly mistake. :) Regarding SineBot: Why does SineBot keep signing stuff I've already signed?
All comments should have a signature that includes both a link to your user page (slakr) and a datestamp (05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)) (per signatures - internal links). This is most easily generated by placing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your contributions, which makes something like "slakr 05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)".
If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing. If you're still having problems after trying that, post a message below. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. I don't want my comments signed by SineBot. How do I get it to ignore me or my talk page?
Please use one of the opt-out methods listed on its user page. SineBot forgot to sign something it should have signed.
Usually this happens because the bot isn't sure if it really should sign something, so it defaults to not signing it (e.g., in cases of complex edits). It does this to avoid being annoying. Other times, a comment might be made when the bot is down for maintenance, so the bot simply never sees it. SineBot signed something that it genuinely should not have signed.
Please let me know-- especially if you think it's not a one-time thing. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. Is SineBot's source code available?
Not currently. I'm signing with four tildes (~~~~) but it's still saying I didn't!
You likely enabled raw signatures. Open your preferences, click the "User profile" tab, make sure that "Treat the above as wiki markup" is NOT checked, and click Save; it should be fixed. If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing. |

SineBot down?
[edit]I wondered why a comment on my user talk hadn't been signed by the bot, and I see it last edited on November 2. Little bot, we miss you ... Yngvadottir (talk) 03:29, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Belated, but it should be back; I updated it to use a better notification gateway for when it's down, too. Cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 11:55, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
SineBot signing my ~~~~-signed comments
[edit]For example, here. What's going on?
--ΝΗΜΙΝΥΛΙ 00:54, 13 January 2025 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Νημινυλι (talk • contribs)
- @Νημινυλι: Late and not slakr, but you can consider opting out of signing. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:06, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- @HouseBlaster Yes, ultimately that's what I did; still, unintended behavior deserved to be raised. --ΝΗΜΙΝΥΛΙ 16:52, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- My guess is that SineBot isn't treating the link in your signature (User:νημινυλι) as equivalent to the first-letter-capitalized form that it expects to see (User:Νημινυλι). Capitalizing that letter in your signature might address the issue for you. Jruderman (talk) 00:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Creation of sub-page

SineBot down
[edit]Hi Slakr! SineBot appears to be down; it hasn't edited in four weeks. Would you be able to restart it? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:46, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Template:Unsigned
[edit]Template:Unsigned has been modified so that |1= is the timestamp and |2= is the username, per this TfD. Gonnym (talk) 10:22, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- I've reverted that, since there was no discussion or advertisement at Template talk:Unsigned that anyone intended to make a breaking change to the template's parameters. Anomie⚔ 13:10, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
