Hi QuantumFoam66! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Talk:Ultrakill that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. I don't disagree with your edit, but be careful when marking edits as minor. Thank you for your time. TheWikiToby (talk) 04:26, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, I'm TylerBurden. An edit that you recently made to Finnish language seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You can also use the preview function to view your change rather than making it and then reverting yourself. TylerBurden (talk) 12:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, I thought I would bring it directly to your attention since you have been (incorrectly) removing the category from articles and insisting on it being gone. "Levels" and "locations" are not mutually exclusive and level means any area that the player enters while playing the game, not just an abstract "Mario" style level. A location can be a place that exists in lore but is not a playable area. If you disagree with this, then bring up the definition of "level" at WP:VG before trying to unilaterally remove things, which is disruptive when you are walking in out of nowhere and trying to redefine something that had a perfectly well-established consensus. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:27, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sludge Life, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page First-person adventure game. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You appear to have tagged three categories for CfD but have not actually opened a nomination for them. -- ferret (talk) 01:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, QuantumFoam66,
Please do not remove all of the contents of a category and then tag it for deletion. This is called "emptying categories out of process" and can result in your edits being reverted (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#Ready for deletion). It is especially improper for long-standing categories that have been part of the category hierarchy for years. If you believe a category should be deleted, renamed or merged, please make an nomination at WP:CFD, you'll find instructions there on how to do this.
Please do not empty any more categories out of process, especially long-standing, full categories. If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 18:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, QuantumFoam66. I noticed you were applying WP:AFD reasoning to a couple WP:RFD proposals and discussions. I just wanted to point you to WP:RFD? for the general principles behind changing or removing redirects. Basically, redirects are far less visible to most users and thus have far less of a threshold for inclusion value. In particular, articles that would be deleted at AFD for non-notability are typically acceptable redirects if we have any information on the subject somewhere on wikipedia, such as a sub-section in another article, even if the information we have is very slight. Another useful thing to read would be WP:CHEAP, explaining why the threshold for keeping a redirect is so much lower than at AFD, and WP:INSTEAD showing that this is in fact officially consensus'ed wikipedia policy. I hope this helps you understand why your proposals are failing. Fieari (talk) 05:49, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please do not edit war to reinsert categories that fail WP:CATDEF into articles as you did on Traveller (role-playing game). As per Wp:BRD if you are bold and add something, and are reverted the Wp:ONUS is on your to take it to the talk page and obtain consensus for the category and not to readd your edit until such time you get that consensus. Thank you. Canterbury Tail talk 00:37, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's becoming quite clear that you don't seem to understand how WP:CATEGORYs work on Wikipedia. Your edits around categories are highly disruptive and your competence to edit in this area seems questionable. So many of your edits have been category edits and many hundreds of them have been deleted or reverted. Your attempts to add new categories are almost always deleted and you don't understand what makes a category defining enough to add. Looking through your edits you're causing a huge amount of work for other editors to clean up.
So I recommend you try and learn how categories and aim to edit constructively with them. If you continue instead to be disruptive with regards to categories, and cause work for other editors to clean up, then I don't think I'll have much choice other than to topic ban you from performing any edits to categories for the good of the project. Please think on this and take greater care. Canterbury Tail talk 23:04, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
