User:LaffyTaffer

Hey, I'm Taffer. I mostly do counter-vandalism as well as doing clean up on LGBTQ related articles. Please leave a message on my talk page if I've made an edit you disagree with. For general editing questions, check out the teahouse instead. Thanks 😊

I suffer from some health issues that may occasionally affect my editing. If I've made an edit that seems nonsensical, it likely was not intentional and I would appreciate being privately contacted about it either over email or in a private message to my Discord account (laffytaffer)

What I usually work on

• Patrolling recent changes - Mainly monitoring for edits with "mass pronoun change" or "possible vandalism" tags.
• WP:LGBTQ+ phrases to be avoided (essay started by me) - Removing inappropriate instances of the phrases in that essay.
  • Search links:
  • Monitored up to June 9
• Adjusting mentions of MF Doom to remove stylization. All caps when you spell the man name except on Wikipedia per Talk:MF Doom/FAQ.

Drafts I'm hopeful for

The following are some drafts about subjects I'm interested in, but my skill at article creation is lacking and I had trouble finding adequate sourcing. If we share some common interests, consider taking a look at some of these.

Links so I don't need to dig for these

• Policy pages: WP:ERREQ, WP:CATSPECIFIC, WP:DIFFUSE, WP:DTAB, WP:TABLE, MOS:BIOEXCEPT
• External: xtools:, toolforge:global-search, toolforge:copyvios, Editor Interaction Analyser, meta:Interwiki map, xkcd:1053
• Templates: {{od}} {{xt}} {{!xt}} {{tlx|2=parameter=value|3=argument|etc}} {{Primary reflist}} (‡)
• Other: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"></syntaxhighlight> for multi-line code blocks
