Blocked

[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely for repeated personal attacks and for making only a poor non-apology apology at ANI. As per Firefangledfeathers's comment here, the indefinite block is not intended to be infinite, but any future unretirement/unblock request needs to be accompanied by a constructive plan for future disputes. (Not necessarily by an apology, as forced apologies are worse than useless.) You can request unblock from an uninvolved administrator by placing {{unblock|your reason here}} on this page. Please don't edit while intoxicated. Bishonen | tålk 13:30, 30 May 2025 (UTC).[reply]

@Zenomonoz: - my bad, man. I apologize for being such a douche that day. I was intoxicated and I can be an angry drunk. I had a drinking problem a few months ago and I’ve since recovered from it, but that doesn’t absolve me of responsibility for my actions while under the influence. In any event, you didn’t deserve that. I hope you can forgive my behavior that day.
@Firefangledfeathers: - To my knowledge, I have never retired before now. If you can substantiate otherwise, I’d like to know, because I can’t remember and you used that as a justification in your statement.
@Bishonen: - that seems perfectly reasonable to me.

It's been a while, so I can't recall what exactly led to my comment about retirement. I'm guessing it was this, but I can't be sure. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:51, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I’ve had ample time to reflect on this. I believe simply abstaining from alcohol would solve the problem by itself; however, going forward I will make a concerted effort to maintain civility when engaging other users on talk pages and escalate to projects/ANI for feedback from third-party users when necessary instead of vent my anger on Wikipedia toward the counterparty.

If something more concrete and step-by-step is desired, here's a plan I find acceptable.

Accept reason:

I'll unblock you to proceed as you discuss here. Good luck. 331dot (talk) 09:32, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Will do better going forward. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 02:19, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bishonen and 331dot: there any way I can get a global IP block exemption again? I can’t edit on my phone’s 5G or work WiFi while logged in because they’re both range blocked. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 22:47, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Most range blocks, especially on schools, allow accounts to operate. You'll need to tell your IP so we can look into this(you may make a private unblock request via WP:UTRS if you don't want to post your IP publicly). 331dot (talk) 08:08, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed this

[edit]

Seppi, I just found out about this, and I'm wondering what happened. Mostly from a long time ago, I remember us editing pharmacology stuff quite productively, but the recent stuff just doesn't match with the editor I worked with in the past. I did see that you made some edits while intoxicated. If, after taking some time to get a hold of things, you decide to come back and make things right, I hope you can get back to the productive content work of the past. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, man.
I took a wrong turn. I’m good now. Happy to continue. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 23:44, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Genetic endowment: I appreciate that, though I was acting like an semi-intoxicated douche that day. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 23:49, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Use in mainspace

[edit]

It is not appropriate for ombox to be used in mainspace. Please correct your not-template template such that it emits content appropriately for mainspace. Perhaps no box would be most reasonable. Izno (talk) 16:26, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, it serves the same purpose as an infobox and a navigation template. If you want me to manually convery the HTML/CSS/template elements to mirror an infobox with page navigation, i’m happy to do that.
Also, fwiw, plenty of articles have navigation box templates that serve various purposes. Articles in a topical series, articles within a place/date range, etc.. This is just a sequenced list, and i’m going to have to break it into 9 sequenced list pages to reduce the load time from 3 minutes for each list to something not so stupid; it’s due to how browsers attempt to render and repeatedly recalculate the css elements as they receive more and more but not all of the table data.
Definitely going to need a navbox with that list update. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 23:38, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would in fact not prefer If you want me to manually convery the HTML/CSS/template elements to mirror an infobox with page navigation, i’m happy to do that. - emitting HTML directly is a pain for me for other reasons and is not guaranteed to be forward compatible. Using a {{sidebar}} as in my version would be fairly reasonable (I might generally prefer {{navbox}} these days). My current and only priority objection is to use of {{ombox}}.
I'd also appreciate if you moved this 'template' into actual template space if it is going to be used in mainspace content. Izno (talk) 23:06, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, main reason it transcludes from there is that all the talk pages redirect to its talk page.
I realize it’s not common, but there’s plenty of instances where non-template pages transclude to the mainspace. I would also object if it werent for the fact that its use is clearly limited to the protein-coding gene lists page scope. IE, there’s no possibility that it’d be used elsewhere.
I’ll consider alternatives to ombox that get the job done. What specifically is your concern other than what the intended usage of that template is? Knowing that would help me identify a better solution. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 01:00, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, main reason it transcludes from there is that all the talk pages redirect to its talk page. This is not a persuasive reason to keep the template in Wikipedia namespace.
plenty of instances where non-template pages transclude to the mainspace Those cause pain for users doing basic quality control who assume main space content lives in one of main, template, or module namespaces.
Intended use of the template is the primary issue. I think stylistically it's also quite wrong for where the content is being placed in the pages of interest, which is why I originally suggested above ditching the boxes entirely (though I'm not entirely certain ditching the box really goes with any page besides the primary list "disamib" page unless the content gets moved to a see also section). I'd be happy to compare features of another proposal besides the three I've suggested (no box, sidebar, navbox). Izno (talk) 05:32, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't actually trying to persuade you based on that use. I simply did it that way at the time for my own convenience, and for the fact that it simplifies project/navbox/talk navigation for others. I'm not actually aware of any policy or guideline requiring that transclusions into the mainspace come exclusively from the template space. So, in light of that, the strict partitioning you're describing as an ideal doesn't sound very persuasive to me when it creates more work for me and complexity for others over a simple solution like this. Moreover, despite ample objections – spanning a variety of issues – that I've received about these lists over the last 5+ years, you're the only person who has taken issue with the list navbox and its transclusion.
Sure, I could create an entirely separate page and create template documentation and a template talk page for a navbox that would need to refer back to the now more convoluted set of mainspace-project space-project talk space-template space pages.
Seems like a lot of unnecessary work that would require me to create a new page on Wikipedia and update the target in my python file in order to do exactly the same thing in Python (i.e., update the navbox at the new location) and on Wikipedia (transclude the same navbox from an entirely different pagename) as before.
The only things you've implied are issues specifically for you are that a project space -> mainspace transclusion isn't acceptable to you despite the atypical non-template-related purpose the project-space page serves in relation to a bot script literally deleting all other WP editors' incremental edits and completely rewriting each list page whenever an update runs. You've also pointed out you don't like the use of an ombox meta-template despite the fact that the intended ones for 99.9999% of article space use cases (ambox, tmbox, imbox, cmbox) don't even remotely come close to addressing this one (i.e., how many articles on WP are written exclusively by a bot?). If you can tell me what parameters and inputs to use in any of those message templates to generate what I wrote in the ombox, I will swap them immediately.
