Redirected talk pages

Hi, I have noticed the bot adds notification to a User Talk page which is a redirect to another one. As a result the owner may not get notified (unless he watches his old talk page, which I do not know). --CiaPan (talk) 12:40, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CiaPan: Thanks for pointing this out. I'll see if I can ensure it handles redirects correctly. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 05:19, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done; this should (hopefully) work for the next run. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:33, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. To be honest, it was a pure coincidence I noticed the fact I reported above – I do not watch your bot's activity, nor the talk page redirect. As such, I am not affected by the effect, and probably will not notice the improvement. I notified you just to help making this tiny (backgroung) part of Wikipedia to work smoother.

Happy editing! --CiaPan (talk) 08:36, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CiaPan: Ah, haha; it happens. Thank you! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:10, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Questions from A Combat Godzilla (23 October 2025)

hello sir/ma'am/whatever how do i add a userbox? --A Combat Godzilla (talk) 14:32, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hello again i found out how to add userboxes by chance, do you know how to change a profile picture here on Wikipedia? --A Combat Godzilla (talk) 14:55, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries; @A Combat Godzilla; welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia does not have profile pictures for users (nor other similar social network–type features). Tol (talk | contribs) @ 21:54, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Maan's5 (01:19, 25 October 2025)

(Promotional content removed) --Maan's5 (talk) 01:19, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Maan's5: I don't know if you have a question, but Wikipedia is not the place to put promotional content like this. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 04:54, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TolBot Task 4

Hiya, can I have a look at TolBot's code pls, specifically task 4. Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 23:11, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Polygnotus: Added at m:User:TolBot/Task 4#Source. I do note that it's just a rather lazy/suboptimal regex approach. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 20:59, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! According to Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing_draft_pages there are 4 methods, So it would be cool if the code could handle those 4, then deduplicate and then insert at MOS:ORDER. So the idea would be to identify nowikied and commented out bits of text, add those to the pool and remove the nowiki tag/start or end comments if they contain nothing but cats and whitespace.
