Thanks for being here!

A rule of thumb however is that if we gave you access, that means we trust you. So please, do not be shy in editing this site. There is ample work for everyone :-)

Template:Blogbox

Template:Blogbox is brocken ! --Kaganer 23:34, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine to me. What's broken? --MZMcBride 03:13, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. It seems the RSS extension doesn't really behave well with interface languages other than English. It should be better now with a redirect at Template:RSSPost. --MZMcBride 19:52, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bugzilla:26479, for reference. --MZMcBride 20:00, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

feeder.py

I went to see if the blogbox needed updating, and I got this pleasant surprise. Thank you, it makes things easier :) NonvocalScream 15:19, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Press room page request

Hey MZ - thanks for helping with the news template widget for the WMF wiki. I used it today, and it's a nice improvement. Do you think it's possible to set it up so that it auto updates Press_room as well? I know the formatting is different, but I'm fine with using the same info layout (it's the same info) in the news template, then have it auto update the press room page as well. Would be much simpler. Thoughts? JayWalsh 16:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it'd be cool to have a proper interface for adding press releases written in jQuery. Something with large, clear input fields that can be documented. I'm not sure I'll have any time in the foreseeable future to write such a script, but it'd be neat. --MZMcBride 18:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

pdfs to pngs

Thanks MZM. Yeah, I figured that pngs are better than pdfs --will make to stick to png next times. Thanks again :) Moushira 22:37, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback policy redirect

Hi. :) Just wanted to let you know that I've created this anew for the moment since I found out when walking somebody through the MoodBar that there was some kind of snafu and the MoodBar "terms" are pointing to it. Brandon has passed it on to the developers, so it should be unnecessary again soon (if not already). --Mdennis 21:02, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. I appreciate it. :-) --MZMcBride 21:42, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changing fundraising templates

Heya MzM,

Thanks for going through and cleaning up some of the code, particularly in making it w3c compliant; it was something we had planned to. It would be really helpful just to let us know before hand what your changing because we dont want to discover 30 minutes before a test that there are suddenly things not appearing as they should and having to try and work out whats wrong. As useful a watchlist is, its still difficult keeping track of so many pages. Its a fairly minor problem that occured this time but its just to be careful in future. So if you could give us a headsup, even if its a note on someone's talk page itll very much appreciated. thanks :) Jseddon 00:56, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
