categories
Hi Sam,
I saw that you - seemingly - tried to add categories to the see-also section within the wiki page (on 19/11 and 22/19). This is not possible this way. It is possible to add links to categories by prefix the word category by a colon (for example, [[:category:Interseptimal]] gives category:Interseptimal), but most category pages are not really informative ...

I don't remember adding anything to the see-also section? The only things I remember doing on those pages are adding the colour name for 19/11 and adding a hyperlink to the Godzilla page on 22/19. If I had done that and I don't remember, then I'm sorry and I'll make sure to remember that. || --CritDeathX (talk) 21:39, 18 April 2020 (UTC) ||
- You are welcome. Here is one of the changes "you" made. To me it seems likely being an issue in the visual editor. --Xenwolf (talk) 07:37, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
Message ID
How did you find the message here? I tried the same yesterday for another article with no success. I was wondering if the original message IDs were present in the archive data and could be automatically provided through the view? --Xenwolf (talk) 06:35, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
PS: and of course, a big thanks for this kind of work. 😊 --Xenwolf (talk) 06:36, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- As I saw, the original message IDs are available. In the case I mentioned, you obviously did some archeology to correct the original references which seem indeed incorrect. --Xenwolf (talk) 11:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the appreciation! I believe that the original IDs seem to not correlate to the archive's IDs, which makes it a slight pain in the butt. I might ask the person who made the archive to add a search function to make finding past messages easier. --CritDeathX (talk) 08:04, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- You might be interested in the zip Archive available on archive.org. I did some local searches on my lasktop (if you are on Windows, Notepad++ and Grepwin are great helpers). --Xenwolf (talk) 10:29, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- I forgot (at least) on thing: Special:LinkSearch is one more great tool for wiki gardening it lists pages with external links that match a given pattern. --Xenwolf (talk) 10:55, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, thank you for directing me to that ZIP file there. I had kinda stumbled on that a bit ago, but I didn't think it would actually be useful. I'll try downloading it and see if searching for messages are easier that way. --CritDeathX (talk) 15:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Update; thank you so much for showing me this. I actually love this soooooo much. I can't wait to find messages easier using this. --CritDeathX (talk) 15:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Notation terminology
Hi CritDeathX,
Some time ago, I made template:monzo for preventing people from typing <nowiki>|</nowiki>0 0 -1 1> over and over again and to better show the intent. Now I remember that there is also the (seemingly) opposite notation <12 19 28 34| that could benefit from some support. But to make such a template, we I need the name of this notation. Do you know it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

- Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you speaking of template:val? Its the only thing I could think of looking like an opposite of a monzo. --CritDeathX (talk) 08:04, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, it has been created (even for me surprisingly) meanwhile by User:Cmloegcmluin --Xenwolf (talk) 10:37, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't even see that there! Guess I was late to the party by ~2 days. --CritDeathX (talk) 15:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- If you mean this: the Revision history of "Template:Val" - Xenharmonic Wiki is shown antichronological, so the starting point is at the end. 😉 --Xenwolf (talk) 10:08, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- PS: Now it seems to me that you didn't mean that at all. Well, anyway... --Xenwolf (talk) 10:11, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
