Thanks (regarding article Austin Powers: Oh, Behave!)
You are correct in moving it, my apologies. I thought that it was within the draft namespace and did not realize that it was in an actual article space. Once I am done with it (which I will complete later), do I submit it for normal review or? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSandDoctor (talk • contribs) 23:09, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- @TheSandDoctor: You can either submit it for review through WP:AFC if you want a second set of eyes on it, or you can just move it back to Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! yourself since you have been autoconfirmed. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 23:12, 7 February 2017 (UTC) - @Ahecht: Thank you for the information! I did not know that I could do that myself (still relatively new to some aspects of Wikipedia). Thanks again for your help and apologies for it being confusing. I just copied the formatting from another of Rockstar's games that does have a Wikipedia page and am in the process of updating the content to reflect the actual game. Thanks again for catching that, honest mistake.--TheSandDoctor (talk) 23:22, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Ahecht: I fixed the article and moved it back to the main namespace and the link to it on the Rockstar Games Wikipedia page correctly goes to it however the link is still red in colour (signifying article does not exist)?
- @TheSandDoctor: Sometimes links don't update right away, as it takes the server time to catch up. I did a manual purge of the Rockstar Games page, and it shows up as a blue link now. There are a bunch of ways to manually purge a page which you can read about at WP:PURGE, but the easiest is to edit the page and then save it without making any changes. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 22:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)- @Ahecht: Thank you for that, I looked for the purge button (as I have seen previously on templates) however did not see it. Thanks again! --TheSandDoctor (talk) 22:23, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Thomas Rome page
Hi, Ahecht. I know the page Thomas Rome is rather short right now. In fact, I'm wondering if it can be reverted to a draft. I submitted it a little too early. I should have worked on it before I submitted it, but I sometimes get hasty. Anyway, thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bds92 (talk • contribs) 18:24, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Carola Insolera
- @Ahecht: Please explain me the reason this page has to be deleted. I do not see any vandalism in there. Have you checked the Italian newspaper http://d.repubblica.it/moda/2017/02/21/news/carola_insolera_modella_sorda_sfilate-3431564/ she is a deaf model trying to bring diversity in the fashion industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magise (talk • contribs) 18:36, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Magise: It didn't appear that the subject of the article met the standards of WP:NMODEL. Namely, I couldn't find significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. The coverage I did find was either interviews like the one you linked to (which are not considered independent by Wikipedia standards) or were coverage of clothing she modeled instead of being about the model herself. --Ahecht (TALK

- @Ahecht: The article wasn't about the coverage of clothing she modeled but was about the model herself. This model is a native visual communicator (she only uses the visual language since birth). She does not use interpreters at all when working and this is mind blowing for many professionals. Her purpose is to have a direct contact with the photographers and the team so she can welcome all of them to her visual world. That's where the artistic chemistry starts. Lastly, 'thanks' to the deafness, like she states, she will just express limitless visually next to the camera. Results are outstanding. Her deafness is indeed a plus to her, one of her main assets. This is obviously a very new concept. A very inspiring approach. Here we are not talking about amateur models but professional ones. This is undoubtedly an unique contribution in the field of the fashion industry. Magise (talk) 22:37, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Help citing a website
Hi Ahecht, i need help citing a website in a foreign language: http://mayatan.web.fc2.com/bunrui.htm or the google translated page: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmayatan.web.fc2.com%2Fbunrui.htm&sandbox=1.

Franca Sebastiani's new page
First, Franca died in 2015, so the deletion reason is wrong. I added a link that mentions her death. I hope this is sufficient to keep the page around. Also, Franca already has a page since 2009 on the it.wikipedia.org. That should be sufficient enough to warrant her a page on wiki.riteme.site automatically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninel (talk • contribs) 05:43, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Fright Fest
Ahecht- re: "Move the six flags article to a disambiguated name, and redirect "Fright Fest" to "FrightFest" ". Fright Fest (as written) is a Six Flags trademark; FrightFest (as written) belongs to Premiere Parks LLC, which is not the same entity as the Premiere Parks which is now called Six Flags. I suggest you redirect Fright Fest to Six Flags Fright Fest, which would be more accurate. As far as I know, FrightFest is only in current use at Elitch Gardens, which is managed by the LLC group. Oddjob84 (talk) 15:09, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Oddjob84: Even if that may technically be true, "Fright Fest" is in common usage by non-Six Flags entities and "FrightFest" is in common usage by non-Premiere Parks entities. For example, Elitch Gardens (a non-Six Flags park) markets their event as "Fright Fest" with two words (see Fright Fest - Elitch Gardens Theme Park and Water Park and Special Events - Elitch Gardens Theme Park and Water Park), and there are plenty of other events, including a major British film festival, that use "FrightFest" as one word. It's also somewhat telling that the current Six Flags Flight Fest logo includes the "®" symbol after both SixFlags and Snickers, but not after the term "Fright Fest" itself. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 15:18, 31 March 2017 (UTC)- @Ahecht: I see your point. One more suggestion: Look at the last sentence under General Information; those venues should probably be added to the bottom of the Locations bullet points, and the sentence deleted. I'd do it myself, but I'm unfamiliar with the referencing code you used. By the way, I like your rewrite. Oddjob84 (talk) 20:09, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Userbox for reFill

Hi. I copied your reFill userbox to my user page. Maybe you could make an official userbox I could copy instead? I have some userboxes I created, but you seem a lot better at it. See: User:Timeshifter/Userboxes. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:14, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Greetings. I rarely do this, in fact I can't think of another instance where I have done this, but you might want to reconsider your close of this AfD discussion as keep. While strictly counting votes would indicate keep, AfD is not meant to be decided by votes, but by policy discussion. In this instance, every single keep !vote is totally devoid of a policy rationale for keeping the article, as required by "explain how the article meets/violates policy rather than merely stating that it meets/violates the policy". Not a single keep !vote addresses the issue of notability, rather being of the I Like It variety, or "what's the harm". Regardless, take care, and thanks for all your efforts on Wikipedia. Onel5969 TT me 16:03, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Onel5969: I saw at least one of keep arguments as some variant of WP:NOTTEMPORARY, but the rest were either WP:INTERESTING/WP:NOTINTERESTING (including the only delete !vote). I thought I had closed it as No Consensus, but it appears I clicked the wrong button. I updated the close, but the end result is essentially the same. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 17:10, 20 April 2017 (UTC)- Hi. Yes, I also saw the not temporary argument, but as per the quoted portion of AfD above, the editor merely stated that, without providing any evidence that it met GNG, and thus was not temporary. Take care. Onel5969 TT me 17:13, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
About becoming an administrator
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia so far; they are very much appreciated. Your experience and tenure have been an asset to the project. Have you ever thought of becoming an administrator? It can be enjoyable, challenging, and a great way to help Wikipedia. To receive feedback on your chances of successfully requesting administrative privileges, consider starting a poll: Thank you!

- @Anna Frodesiak: Thanks, I haven't found any pressing need for the tools yet, but it's something I'll consider. By the way, your template appears to be missing the closing
|}
, so it breaks talk page formatting. Unless it's a stealth test of wikicode knowledge, you might want to update your template in the future ;-) --Ahecht (TALK

Template:Infobox attraction/section
I just undid your recent edit to Template:Infobox attraction/section, because it was invoking the non-existent Category:Under construction amusement attractions on articles like Pandora – The World of Avatar. Elisfkc (talk) 16:30, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Categorizing attraction articles by status
Really appreciate you assigning custom and announced statuses to categories we can monitor. I looked at the code used at Template:Infobox attraction/status and didn't quite understand how to replicate this for the acceptable statuses: Operating, Closed, Under construction, and Removed. At Category:Amusement rides by status, it would be great if we could have those listed as well. Thanks in advance! --GoneIn60 (talk) 08:09, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- @GoneIn60: I created tracking categories at Category:Amusement attractions by status since Template:Infobox attraction is used on non-ride articles as well (shows, walk-throughs, etc.). Maybe at some point we should think about rethinking all of Category:Amusement rides since it too contains many non-rides. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 17:01, 21 April 2017 (UTC)- I agree. We should distinguish between attraction categories and ride categories, with the latter being a subset of the former. Sounds like that may be a lot of work though. Thanks for getting attractions organized by status, by the way. It's a good start! I've been using it extensively over the past couple days. One thing I noticed, however, is that the "defunct" category includes both Closed and Removed. Since we already have a Removed category, is there an easy way to change Defunct to only show closed attractions (and take out Defunct in the category's name and replace it with Closed)? --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:57, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- @GoneIn60: "Closed" should map to the "defunct" category and "removed" should map to the "removed" category. If there are removed rides in the "defunct" category, it's only because their infoboxes say "closed" and not "removed". I kept the "defunct" in the category name only because it's been there since at least 2010 under "defunct amusement rides", but have no strong objections to changing it. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 04:35, 24 April 2017 (UTC)- Here's one example you can look at: Back to the Future: The Ride. It shows up under both Defunct and Removed, although all statuses in the infobox have been changed to show only Removed. Also, the term "defunct" has historically referred to removed, dismantled, and/or demolished rides. Since we've decided that "closed" means its still standing and still exists, then the name for the defunct category (once corrected to only show Closed), should probably be renamed. We could put a formal notification at WT:WikiProject Amusement Parks if preferred. --GoneIn60 (talk) 04:55, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- @GoneIn60: Ahh, I found the error. The template was set up to put any rides with a "closed" date that didn't contain a recognizable year into the "defunct" category, but there was a bug that prevented it from recognizing "closed" dates that used the {{end date}} template. I fixed the bug, and removed the extra categorization. As a bonus, the infobox should now be correctly sorting pages into the opening and closing year categories automatically in many more cases! --Ahecht (TALK

- As for the closing year category automatically being populated, I just came across one where that wasn't the case: Hercules. Once I entered the parameter for "year", the opening category populated, but as you can see, the closing year category is still missing. Just thought I'd mention it. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:12, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- @GoneIn60: That's because I hadn't make any changes to {{Infobox roller coaster}} yet, just {{Infobox attraction/section}}. I've updated the roller coaster template now. There doesn't already appear to be a category tree for closed roller coasters by year, so I made the template use Category:Roller coasters introduced in XXXX and Category:Amusement rides that closed in XXXX as appropriate. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 17:34, 24 April 2017 (UTC)- OK, great! So is the "year" parameter now deprecated? If so, I can look into using a bot to remove that parameter from all roller coaster articles. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:38, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Well, I think I just realized why the opening/closing dates weren't originally being auto-categorized, at least for roller coasters. When you allow that to happen, roller coasters that have been relocated will show up in multiple year categories. Doesn't sound like a big deal, except for when you consider the fact that the name usually changes when a coaster moves to a new park. So if you look at Category:Roller coasters introduced in 1977 for example, you'll see Thunderbolt Express listed, but the coaster was called Screamin' Demon when it opened that year. I think the intention was to manually add the category to the redirect page (in this case, to the Screamin' Demon redirect page), so that we can force that name to show in the list instead of Thunderbolt Express. Right now, I can still add it to the redirect page, but then both Screamin' Demon and Thunderbolt Express would show in the list. I'm thinking this is why the |year
parameter was added at some point, to help control when the current name of the coaster would be categorized. Ideas/thoughts? --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:39, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- @GoneIn60: There are two ways to fix that. I could either shut it off when the status is "moved" (which is allowed for additional locations), or only do the auto-categorization on the first entry (which would miss rides that have multiple locations simultaniously). I think the first is probably the better choice. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 03:51, 25 April 2017 (UTC)- OK, so if you shut it off when the status is "Relocated", does that mean the top entry in the infobox (which might say Operating or Removed) will still be auto-categorized by year? --GoneIn60 (talk) 04:18, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- That was the plan. The top entry is always categorized. Additional entries, if they say "relocated..." or "moved to..." would not be categorized. I've done the change for Roller coasters, and am working on attractions now. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 04:20, 25 April 2017 (UTC)- I just verified that this works perfectly for roller coasters, thanks! I probably owe you a few beers now! ;-) --GoneIn60 (talk) 04:31, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

- OK, so I just figured out why it might still be a good reason to keep the
|year
parameter around. If you look at Flight of the Hippogriff, you'll see that the first installation at Islands of Adventure used to be called Flying Unicorn until the ride was closed in 2008 and re-themed/reopened in 2010. Now, we typically leave the|opened
parameter set to the original opening date (so in this case, 6/29/2000). Since this is being auto-categorized, there's no way to prevent the newer name from appearing in Category:Roller coasters introduced in 2000. As you can see, Flying Unicorn also appears in that list, since the redirect was manually categorized. It would be nice if we could allow the|year
parameter to take precedence over the|opened
parameter. Doing so would allow us to move the newer name to Category:Roller coasters introduced in 2010. Is there some way we can do that? --GoneIn60 (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2017 (UTC)- Yeah, I can rework the templates so that
|year=
takes precedence over|opened=
for categorization. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:37, 26 April 2017 (UTC) - @GoneIn60: {{Infobox attraction/section}}, {{Infobox roller coaster}}, and {{Infobox roller coaster/extend}} have all been modified so that

Dual roller coasters
Things are looking much better now, and I have yet to find any more issues with the changes we've made. However, I did notice a template that may have flown under the radar: Template:Infobox dual roller coaster. This one is still using some older methods for categorization. I noticed the broader "Removed amusement attractions" category at the bottom of Rolling Thunder. If you could work your magic here as well, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. --GoneIn60 (talk) 09:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Adding year parameter to infobox attraction
Similar to how we have a |year
parameter on the roller coaster templates that override the opened year for auto-categorization, it would be nice to also have that in the infobox attraction template. I took a close look at the template comparing it to one of the roller coaster templates, but I couldn't figure it out. You're probably sick of seeing daily requests from me, but if you could lend another hand with this, as always it would be appreciated. Please consider this a low priority request. Thanks again! --GoneIn60 (talk) 01:09, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- @GoneIn60: No problem. The parameter was already there in the categorization code, it just wasn't be passed to the subtemplate properly. It should work now. If you have a chance, the documentation for the various infobox templates should be updated to document how and why to use the parameter. --Ahecht (TALK

- The documentation has been updated. However, I noticed that when
Relocated
is specified as a status, the attraction automatically gets categorized under Category:Removed amusement attractions. That will need to be fixed at some point. The attraction should only be categorized as such if the status resolves toRemoved
. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 11:17, 10 May 2017 (UTC)- @GoneIn60: All fixed. --Ahecht (TALK

Hi
Thanks for saving as a draft. I've now completed the translation into English, correcting any mis-translations brought about by Google.
Could you please review, and if it meets the required standard, could this please be published?
Many thanks, Gareth El lloydie (talk) 20:36, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Review my article?
I was just wondering if you could review my article EL CHAPO Act, seeing that you're a new page reviewer. THE DIAZ talk • contribs 19:28, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Previous names in the infobox attraction template
It would be great if we could add the |previousnames
parameter found in the roller coaster infobox to Template:Infobox attraction and have it format the same way at the top of the infobox in italics. Would appreciate if you'd look into it when you have time. I can update the documentation afterwards if you prefer. Thanks! --GoneIn60 (talk) 09:43, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- @GoneIn60: Propose it on the template talk page. I don't want to introduce a new parameter on a protected template without a more public discussion. In the meantime, you can do something like the following:
|altname={{plainlist|* Tomb Raider: The Ride (2002-2007) * The Crypt (2008-present)}}
- --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 18:23, 24 May 2017 (UTC)- I have no issues bringing it up on the template talk page, but since the parameter already exists for the roller coaster infobox, I can't imagine there will be any objection. I'll bring it up there just in case though. For new ideas or to request removal, I would have definitely gone there first. Just wanted to clear that up, and I'll start a discussion there shortly. Thanks for the workaround suggestion by the way. --GoneIn60 (talk) 08:47, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
