Hello! In general, when making similar changes in multiple pages, or when making changes that otherwise affect multiple pages, it is a good idea to provide clear edit summaries explaining these changes, so that other editors understand why these edits are made and whether there is a consensus for them. For example, if there is a related discussion on the forums/on tiki bar related to these edits, it is helpful to link to that discussion in the edit summary of every edit.

Can you please explain [https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff=111521&oldid=106495 this edit]?

Your main user page ([[User:Atavoidirc]]) is supposed to be used for writing something about yourself. I think [https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?title=User:Atavoidirc&curid=25049&diff=129102&oldid=129101 redirecting] it to someone else's userspace is either confusing, misleading, or both. For quick access, you can add an explicit non-redirect link. [[User:Confocal|Confocal]] ([[User talk:Confocal|talk]]) 00:07, 16 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
== Please provide edit summaries == | |||
Hello. When fixing double redirects, please take time to provide edit summaries that describe your edits as such. This also applies to other kinds of edits - describing what you do in the edit summary helps other editors to understand what and why is changed. Also, please note that pages about 11- and 12-cell SLs are currently discussed at Tiki bar: [[LifeWiki:Tiki_bar#11-cell_and_12-cell_still_lifes]].

Redirects with typos/misspellings
Hello, I noticed that you created a redirect T-life. Can you show explicitly that this specific variant is commonly used in the community (and is not just a misspelling/a typo)? More generally, I would like to ask you to avoid creating any new redirects with spelling variants, at least until this Tiki discussion is open: LifeWiki:Tiki_bar#Redirects_from_misspelling.

Changes that affect multiple pages
Hello! In general, when making similar changes in multiple pages, or when making changes that otherwise affect multiple pages, it is a good idea to provide clear edit summaries explaining these changes, so that other editors understand why these edits are made and whether there is a consensus for them. For example, if there is a related discussion on the forums/on tiki bar related to these edits, it is helpful to link to that discussion in the edit summary of every edit.

Hello again
Can you please explain this edit? It is expected that the user page is for writing something primarily about yourself (and not about other user/users). Confocal (talk) 21:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Your main user page (User:Atavoidirc) is supposed to be used for writing something about yourself. I think redirecting it to someone else's userspace is either confusing, misleading, or both. For quick access, you can add an explicit non-redirect link. Confocal (talk) 00:07, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Please provide edit summaries
Hello. When fixing double redirects, please take time to provide edit summaries that describe your edits as such. This also applies to other kinds of edits - describing what you do in the edit summary helps other editors to understand what and why is changed. Also, please note that pages about 11- and 12-cell SLs are currently discussed at Tiki bar: LifeWiki:Tiki_bar#11-cell_and_12-cell_still_lifes. Confocal (talk) 15:00, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Userspace categories
AFAIK LifeWiki does not currently have any userspace-only categories, and I don't know of previous discussions (Tiki bar/forum) to introduce these. I proposed the categories you created for deletion. Confocal (talk) 23:43, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
