Dissociative identity disorder[edit]

Ever heard of it? I'm not a doctor, but it could explain EK and Dredd. Supposedly they're siblings, but CheckUser on Wikipedia says that they're the same person, so unless they're both living in mommy's basement... 71.1.237.143 (talk) 01:02, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

They're siblings. That said, the incidents over which Dredd got banned from Wikipedia are about a decade ago now. By my estimate, yes, teenagers do live in the same household when they're not yet adults, which neither Dredd or EK would've been by then. -- Techpriest (talk) 09:55, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
They were banned in late 2017, which was almost six years ago, hardly a decade ago. I have no idea how old they are but given Dredd was allegedly a lawyer (though that's probably untrue), I assumed he was a little older than early 20s. Besides, there's more to CheckUser than just IP address alone, and you can usually tell when two people are using different devices unless it's in an institution where they have 1,000 Dell Optiplexes or Compaq Evos (I'm showing my own age with the latter because I don't think they even make the Evo anymore, lol). It really doesn't matter though, I was just making a statement. 71.1.237.143 (talk) 01:36, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Inferno bot[edit]

It hasn't been working in five days Plutocow (talk) 17:18, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Fixed, it had lost the login again. -- Techpriest (talk) 22:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
And it's broken again. Plutocow (talk) 18:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
I did a server upgrade and it lost the mwparserfromhell dependency due to a python upgrade. Should be fixed once more. -- Techpriest (talk) 17:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Header quotes[edit]

How do you feel about me using quotes from fictional material on a page if it's appropriate for/relevant to the page's content in question? BJA2112 (talk) 19:40, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Depends on if they're appropriate and culturally well known. Citing the adventures of Zod season 37 episode 15 is something I'd say "no" on because nobody has seen that. Assuming it's about Adultery, I don't think the quote meets either criteria. -- Techpriest (talk) 20:36, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
I opened up a discussion on this on the Mod noticeboard. Bongolian (talk) 20:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
