Bot request
Hi there! I've put in a bot flag request so I can apply the Pottermore links, UK spelling, and short link fixes I've been developing in an automated fashion. If you could take a moment and provide some feedback, it would be appreciated! Thanks --Ironyak1 (talk) 17:15, July 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the input and support! The bot uses a list of UK vs. US English spellings to make corrections, but I've found some of them to be archaic spelling diffferences. As you are actually across the pond, do you mind if I ask you about common British usage occasionally to sort out these historical oddities? --Ironyak1 (talk) 19:20, July 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks - your edits appear more skilful than most on this matter (skilful was new to me - added to bot dictionary :) Oxforddictionaries.com is useful for comparing UK and US English, but doesn't always make current usage clear. One that pops up a lot here is mediaeval vs medieval - is one usage more common or are both pretty standard? Thanks! --Ironyak1 (talk) 18:09, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Timelines
Yeah, I've been working through just the formatting issues so they are not completely clear to me either. See 2020s as this seems to break them down the clearest (but I'll need to review the script to make sure the divisions are correct as I don't remember a split between the 2nd & 3rd as shown there). Thanks! --Ironyak1 (talk) 21:01, August 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * So in - Scorpius, Hermione, Ron, & Snape go back in time to prevent Albus & Scorpius changing the first task. They then all return to a timeline which seems to be the same "2nd revised timeline" (Voldemort won, Herminone is a mudblood traitor, Umbridge was in charge and had a growing suspicion of Scorpius). So we need to think about if we can say this is in fact the same timeline or a third one.(probably best to post in the forums about alternate timelines to see how others think about this - will do so shortly)
 * As to the fourth/original timeline issue, the blanket having the message written in tincture of demiguise would make these different timelines? Otherwise the message would have appeared when the love potion first spills in the original timeline, right? The timeline changes feel inconsistent so it's hard to figure out how to describe them (I miss POA ;) --Ironyak1 (talk) 21:44, August 2, 2016 (UTC)

Chat Moderator
Hello!

So I recently added an application for Chat Moderator (I know, sounds weird, I explain it all in the application), and I was just wondering if you could go and have a look to see what you think about it,

Hope that you are well, and that you have a nice day,

Thanks,

The tags
Hello! I've noticed that you have been editing articles about calendar dates. I'd ask you not to get rid of the tags you find on those -- they are an important piece of code that make it so that only a specific part of each article is automatically transcribed to the "On This Day" section of the main page. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:56, August 15, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey! Noted! Sorry, some of the pages had them and others didn't and some had more than others so I didn't quite understand why. But now I do I will keep an eye on them and make sure they are included. Thank you! :) -- Kates39, 10:27, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

FB Short Links
Fantastic Beasts has options for the known iterations (in world, real, film, etc) thus far - see Template:FB. Options for the next films will likely be added when the next film title is announced and we have an article for it. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 01:16, August 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Great, thank you! :) -- Kates39, 10:27, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

RE FB film series
You can edit a redirect page by adding this tag to the page title http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Fantastic_Beasts_and_Where_to_Find_Them_(film_series)?redirect=no. The link for this can also be found near the top of a page after it has been redirected (like if you went to Fantastic_Beasts_and_Where_to_Find_Them_(film_series) and then choose the "Redirected from" link near the top.) Once there, you can edit the page, remove the REDIRECT info and add info as needed. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 15:52, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

This wiki for Rowling's mistakes or weird choices for characters? Don't understand why you delete some posts and not others...
Kate, I recently saw your edits on Book 3 The Mauraders Map. Thank you for your work trying keep a certain standard for posts in this wiki. However, I don't understand why you left the one post that you did and deleted the other two posts. The post you left is not about J.K. Rowling's mistakes but pondering why the characters in the book made the choices they did based on what we know about Rowling's world of magic. The other two posts had also fit the bill. If we use the more stringent standard of contradictions or mistakes in Rowling's writing then probably a third of all of these wiki posts needs to be deleted. Rather, this is an understanding place to also mention bemusement at choices characters make based on circumstances or what we know about how Harry Potter world magic works. Thanks!

Marauder's Map Edits
Oh, I see, that makes sense. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the reasons for your edits. Sincerely, DAzim (talk) 20:40, September 22, 2016 (UTC)Daniel
