It had a brief description and a link, specifically about the web comic "Oglaf," both of which were removed. Is the issue the link itself, because of the adult nature of the comic? The info appears to be no less notable than some of the other references. Would it be permitted without the link?
Hi - the adult nature isn't strictly an issue, Wikipedia isn't age restricted. It being external link is bad, but not that bad (it can just be turned into a citation). The problem is that it's not notable. I agree that it is not less notable than what is already there - but the problem is that that stuff isn't notable either - there's a header at the top of that section that points out this pre-existing problem: "This section may contain irrelevant references to popular culture. Please remove the content or add citations to reliable and independent sources." - Check out the popular culture link, which specifies the rough guidelines for what really should and shouldn't be in the "In popular culture" sections. Really, the whole "Hadouken in popular culture" needs a clearout, which I'll do now. BugGhost🪲👻21:49, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand now, thanks. Admittedly, I was going by what was already there. And I had no idea what "hadouken" was until I saw the strip and then needed to look it up, which took me right to this page. At least I finally understand the joke! Grendel205 (talk) 23:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries - the "in popular culture" sections are always a bit confusing about what counts as notable or not. You haven't done anything wrong and you were trying to help the article, so it's all good :) Welcome to Wikipedia by the way! BugGhost🪲👻13:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Often when I'm on WP, I go to autopilot. I appreciate your message on my talk page, because I reported an account to AIV when I probably didn't need to, and I wanted to acknowledge your effort to reel me in, there. I hope to continue seeing you around! SPF121188(talk this way)(my edits)15:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Of course! It's important to recognize editors who help others, and you were right about potentially biting a new user. In that particular case, while the CSD's were appropriate, sending to AIV wasn't, so I'm grateful that you called me on that! retaining new editors is something I've tried to emphasize recently and it's easy to forget that, especially when I'm on autopilot :) SPF121188(talk this way)(my edits)16:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
