From Village Pump discussion:
- I think somewhere between original & fab's: (You have x pages on your watchlist (not counting talk pages); you can display and edit the complete list. In the time period selected below, users have made y edits to articles in the English version of Wikipedia. Checking watched pages for recent edits... Elf 17:34, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Follow-up question--are periods verbotten in msgs? I'm wondering why the original is all semicolons. Elf 17:34, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I changed to your version because I think it reads better. Periods are allowed but semi-colons were used because they've always been used.. no deep meaning. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 17:53, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Cool. BTW, the "Checking" message needs to be capitalized. :-) Elf 18:10, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I missed the capital C because it was hidden inside a variable ($3) for some reason... I've stopped using that variable as a work-around. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 18:49, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- The $3 points to another MediaWiki message - or one of two, by the looks of the big list; the difference is subtle, and I don't know under what situations each is used, but MediaWiki:Watchmethod-recent and MediaWiki:Watchmethod-list are what you should change, I think. - IMSoP 23:32, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks! Gave those two a C. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 00:41, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Scarily enough, I just decided to check your contributions list to see if you were still on and likely to change it; and the top change when I got there was you doing the first one. Spooky!
- Just one problem, though - you forgot to put the $3 back in here so that they'd actually be used! - IMSoP 00:46, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I popped in very briefly to do something else and just snuck those in. All should be fixed now. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 08:15, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I am removing the "In the time period..." sentence because $2 currently returns the word "all" instead of a number, which makes no sense. silsor 21:23, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
