Disambiguation link notification for August 25 edit

Hi. When you recently edited List of Newcastle University people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deborah Cameron (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Farewell edit

I am Russian and me jarred word "kill". Having association with "murder", "killer". But if this acceptable than ok. 178.76.217.218 (talk) 00:16, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

To say that someone was killed in a car crash in no way implies murder. They can be killed, die or lose their life. Mowerbyte (talk) 06:32, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

User location edit

Is there a way to edit user locations so that the badge states the opposite, i.e. "User comes from London" and "User lives in Berlin"?

You can copy each code from the template page and edit it for your own liking.

{{userbox
| border-c = black
| id       = {{{3|[[Image:Coat of arms of Berlin.svg|25px]]}}}
| id-c     = {{{1|white}}}
| id-fc    = {{{id-fc|black}}}
| id-s     = {{{5|{{{id-s|14}}}}}}
| info     = {{{4|This user lives in '''[[Berlin]]'''.}}}
| info-c   = {{{2|#FFFFFF}}}
| info-fc  = {{{info-fc|black}}}
| usercategory  = Wikipedians in Berlin
| nocat = {{{nocat|}}}
}}}

or Use {{User Berlin res}}

{{userbox
| border-c = black
| border-s = 1
| id       = [[Image:City of London logo.svg|40px]]
| id-c     = white
| info     = This [[:Category:Wikipedians in London|user]] is from '''[[London]]'''.
| info-c   = lightskyblue
| info-fc  = {{{info-fc|darkblue}}}
| info-s   = {{{info-s|8}}}
| usercategory  = Wikipedians in London
| usercategory2  = Wikipedians in England
| usercategory3 = Wikipedians in the United Kingdom
| usercategory4  = Wikipedians_in_the_European_Union
| usercategory5 = Wikipedians in Europe
| nocat = {{{nocat|}}}
}}

There is no London alternative that I can see at this point, I hope this helps.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 22:48, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

That's sorted - thank you! (Mowerbyte (talk) 05:25, 9 October 2015 (UTC))Reply

Help me! edit

Please help me with transferring the box "User from London" to the Babel & Boxes" table on the right hand side - can't seem to get this to work!

I have done this for you. If you don't mind, I'm copying that into Template:User from London and sticking it on my own userpage since I'm also from London. (North Cheam, specifically.)--Launchballer 10:35, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks for doing this! Mowerbyte (talk) 07:54, 28 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
