Hey. Look, what I am going to say is just a tip from an old timer to another; feel free to ignore it, no hard feelings.
Good beneficiary actions in Wikipedia have previously been stopped and banned because the person doing them gave a bad impression. For example, Archive.is is an awesome service but it was banned here for a very long time, because its maintainer did fishy stuff that put everyone into skeptical mode. See? A good thing got banned because it rubbed people the wrong way.
Let's assumeSecurity and Maintenance must really and truly be moved toWindows Defender Security Center. Let's assume, right? With your aggressive editing in the wrong place and your bulldozer attitude, it won't happen. Face it: You gave a bad impression. Imagine Wikipedia as a huge building under construction. Bringing a wrecking ball to a long-completed wing of the building in which people have been living for years, and then giving the excuse that "it is a work in progress anyway" and "newer maps say such and such" does not fly with anyone.
That said, Windows 10 is a soup in which competing components have co-existed for three years now:Control Panel andSettings,Windows Photo Viewer andPhotos,Internet Explorer andEdge,Paint andPaint 3D,Windows Media Player andGroove Music,Windows Command Prompt andWindows PowerShell... Windows 10 is approaching the end of its mainstream support and I won't be surprised if this civil war doesn't end by then (at which point it will never end).

I noticed that you had reverted my changes to the articleDarwin_(operating_system). The information remove is pure product details which has its place in a product brochure rather than in a Wikipedia article. A long list of past and current revisions of the software does not add any information. The information needs to be removed asWP:NOTJARGONHagennos (talk)17:20, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploadingFile:Windows XP Event Viewer.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under aclaim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (seeour policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in anyarticles will be deleted after seven days, as described insection F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk)18:27, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Just as an FYI,<span>[[A]]</span> will not apply the desired color to the link. What you want to do is move the span inside the displayed text portion of the link e.g.[[A|<span>B</span>]].
With your signature, that would be going from:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently editedPower Macintosh, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pagesIDE andMIPS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links areusually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles.(Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.)

Hello
As you are one of the top ten contributors to themacOS andmacOS Server articles, I thought perhaps you might be interested in participating in theTemplates for Discussion entry for{{MacOS derivations}}. This template is a navbox. The discussion is stalled because of a lack of contributors.
To summarize the long conversation there (and the changes that happened afterwards), IMHO, this navbox:
As such, it should either be deleted or merged. Currently, this discussion is only attended by the template's creator, and one other anonymous editor (IP) who doesn't have any other contributions to Wikipedia.

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented athttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
Your survey Link:http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_3XfKYHkieGKBpCl&Q_CHL=gl
I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.
Sincere thanks for your help!Porteclefs (talk)18:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Regardingyour revision onPower Mac G4, the name of the article and its abbreviations, synonyms, and foreign language translations are bold the first time they are mentioned in the lead section of the article if the lead section can mention the full names without awkward wording perMOS:BOLDTITLE. This doesn’t apply to sections.Interqwarktalkcontribs00:58, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
| “ | The most common use of boldface is to highlight the first occurrence of the title word/phrase of the article (and usually its synonyms) in the lead section. This is also done, at the first occurrence in running text, of a term that is redirected to the article or one of its subsections,whether the term appears in the lead or not. | ” |
