This should be asked in the Talk Page of that article. Ethoori (talk) 22:26, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many spelling errors were shown but the spelling through was correct but not recognized leading to this article being falsely flagged.

Under Retired acts, "Chinese Poles (1993 - 2011)" is listed. Does this refer to a revamp of the act?

When I try to publish my changes to the article, I am told that I cannot because An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, so it has been disallowed. If this edit is constructive, please report this error. Disruptive behavior may result in being blocked from editing. Report error."

It does not tell me what exactly the error is, so I do not know how to proceed to submit my assignment.

I'm sorry, I tried to edit this page, but I turned it into a disaster. I feel ashamed of myself and I am having anxiety about turning this page back to normal. I'm very, very, sorry

Finishing unsigned post with visual tool clashes with AnomieBOT

[edit]

When the tool is used to finish an unsinged post by an editor, Anomie's bot AnomieBOT clashes with it and senses it needs correction. I am not sure which one is doing it incorrectly.

Special:Diff/1257289856 was done using the tool. AnomieBOT decided it needed to correct it:Special:Diff/1257297114 Graywalls (talk) 14:47, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The template {{Unsigned}} is supposed to be substituted. If someone doesn't do so, AnomieBOT comes along to do it. See also Help:VisualEditor#Substituting templates. Anomie⚔ 15:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The one in question was inserted using the visual editor bar on the top: Insert, Insert a template, unsigned. I filled in the user name and time in the relevant boxes. Graywalls (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Difficulty discarding changes on desktop

[edit]
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:132.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/132.0

There should be an easily accessible "Discard Changes" button on the visual editor.

Ability for toolbar to move

[edit]
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0

It would be useful if the toolbar were movable down the screen especially for longer articles.
