You have changed a lot of signatures in Talk pages (formatting of date).
That makes no sense to me, since that dat[sic] is added automatically with the signature —Bart (talk) 19:21, 21 September 2023 (CEST)

Yeah, it's just a force of habit after almost 20 years of editing on Wikipedia and other MediaWiki-powered sites. The {{#formatdate:…}} magic word automatically reads the user's date style from their site preferences and displays it accordingly, which the auto-signature feature doesn't do. I took care to set the default format to the way it had been before, for users who aren't logged in or haven't set a style in their preferences, so I don't think anything was materially changed or lost, only new functionality added. I, of course, would never edit a page simply to do that, but when I happen to be editing one for other reasons and happen upon a date in the text I tend to wrap it in the magic word along the way; I believe the page you're speaking of I was attempting to clear the linter error regarding the use of deprecated syntax in the <syntaxhighlight> tags and it was exceptionally untidy to start with, with inconsistent indentation and out-of-sequence responses, so I just did my best. Was there something you wanted done differently, or were you merely curious as to my motivations? —RogueScholar (talk) 17:20, September 27, 2023 (PDT)

I just wondered why. Also, since most people insert there sig via the mechanism provided by the wiki, almost all new sigs won't have the {{#formatdate:…}} in it, so if you wanted to make it your quest to change all of that, it woul be a Sysiphus task... Bart (talk) 11:08, 28 September 2023 (CEST)

CudaText page

I see you made 5 columns for the lexers list. but with my monitor Firefox can fit only 4 columns on 1 monitor. column 5 is placed below the column 4. so: better to change to 4 columns. Thanks for your editions. —Alextpp (talk) 21:41, 3 October 2023 (CEST)

Understood, I'll update the page to split into four columns instead. It's been enjoyable making some updates to the page, as someone who's used CudaText for nearly every bit of text editing/coding I've done for at least the last 6-7 years and regularly refers to the wiki page for guidance, it had reached the point where the length of it began to feel onerous, so I wanted to try and fix that. I'm glad you approve. :) —RogueScholar (talk) 01:21, October 4, 2023 (CEST)

Picture titled 'Folding comments' must belong to the paragraph 'Automatic folding of comments' but now it is much upper.... Alextpp (talk) 19:30, 5 October 2023 (CEST)

Fixed it. Alextpp (talk) 18:35, 6 October 2023 (CEST)
