You might want to modify your sig to use | instead of |, because it tends to break things when used in templates. Primefac (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Please be a bit more careful with your AFC reviews. I've deleted, redirected, or nominated for deletion three different pages you've accepted. Please make sure to check that content is not already duplicated in the article space and is appropriate for inclusion. If you're unsure, please ping a senior member of AFC to ask for advice. Thank you. Primefac (talk) 23:18, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

You borked pretty much the entirety of ANI with this edit. I have no idea what you did, how you did it, or even if there's a "why" in there, but please make sure it doesn't happen again. I physically can't fix that without fully-protecting ANI, reverting, then adding back in everything that was placed after you posted. Primefac (talk) 22:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

I think you made the right call in closing the discussion because there was no consensus to delete, but you completely misunderstood the comments about canvassing. It was the keeps who were canvassed, not the deletes. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 12:34, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Problems
mediawiki.util
library does not load automatically any more. Your Special:MyPage/common.js may use it. If you have technical problems that started a couple of weeks ago you can try adding mw.loader.using( 'mediawiki.util' ).done(function(){
as the first line in the file and });
as a last one. Tech News wrote about this in the 2017/18 issue. [30]Changes this week
