I would like to help[edit]

I decided to add myself to WikiProject Topicons. I have figured out several crucial things relating to templates, and top icons in particular. This is a new WikiProject, and we have a lot to do. funplussmart (talk) 14:45, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Philately Wikiproject[edit]

Welcome to the Philately WikiProject. Hopefully you have a good time, start many new articles and can contribute a lot to the existing ones as we need that. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 22:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help me![edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with making scripts to Wikipedia. I know that .js and .css pages cannot be edited by other users except sysops. I need to verify if a page exists using JS and make a script that installs CSS. I also need to make a script that disables and enables temporarily other scripts. Luístro ☎️ 19:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I very strongly advise you to start contributing to the encyclopaedia, and leave all the background stuff that you are spending your time on until you have some experience of contributing. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:56, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User list?[edit]

I noticed my username is on your "user list" (User:Luístro/User list), and that you also put my dashboard and userbox tables on your userpage. Why is my name on the list and what is the purpose of the list? (Also, don't worry about your userpage until you've made more mainspace edits, my userpage was a mess for my first year of editing.) pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 00:07, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The list is a type of "telephone list". I put on it my favorite wikipedians. I like much your scripts, so I put your name on it. Luístro ☎️ 16:50, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

editToken[edit]

Hello Luístro,

Your script User:Luístro/CSSInstaller.js is no longer functional because it attempts to get an editToken from mw.user.tokens. The script should instead get a csrfToken. editTokens were removed from mw.user.tokens on October 3, 2019 at Phabricator during this edit as they were redundant to csrfTokens.– BrandonXLF (talk) 00:06, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
