Topic ban

[edit]

Pursuant to an ANI discussion, you are now indefinitely topic banned from anything that falls under Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gender and sexuality and Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2. You can appeal this in six months. Drmies (talk) 21:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do you contribute using the command line?

[edit]

I see that you have a userbox which states you contribute using the CLI. In what way do you interface with Wikipedia using the command line? ― Levi_OPTalk 01:16, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Levi. I have used lynx in the distant past, but more recently I used vi from my Linux CLI to do mass edits of tables and other structured data for chemistry articles. The lack of regular expression search-and-replace in the cool new html-WYSIWYG editors makes certain kinds of edits difficult.

Makes sense. Do you just copy-paste the page source into vi? Or is there some more bespoke solution for editing wikipedia pages in vi ― Levi_OPTalk 21:32, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Copy/paste forward and back. I do the markup manually anyway, so it doesn't cost me much. Riventree (talk) 21:41, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
