Aftera motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections atWP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g.[[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.

• I undid one of your edits?
• I declined a draft you worked on?
• I marked a page of yours for deletion?
• I made a mistake?

If so, please don't hesitate toleave me a message on my talk page! I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I primarily deal with anti-vandalism, copyediting, and a few otherminor incremental things. Because anti-vandalism edits are semi-automated, and individually have a very low time investment, I may have lessclue than you might expect. Finally, please note that I may require a healthyslap with a trout in cases where I am in need of a severe adjustment in my clue level. I offer free-of-charge convenience links for trout slapping: you have the choice between aminnow and atrout.

I've come to the realization that if something leaves my line-of-sight, I will quickly forget it exists, so here's a list of Wikipedia-centric things that I've been working on, loosely ordered by how important I think they are:

• Updating this list to not be years out of date.
• User:Perryprog/Disclosure wizard: A combination ofWikipedia:Edit Request Wizard's nice buttons with the use-case of theWikipedia:Article wizard.
• User:Perryprog/Multi-paragraph lists: The eventual one-stop shop for how to press enter after an asterisk.^{[Note 1]}
• Module:Sandbox/Perryprog/xlink: A Lua module that parses a URL (e.g., a diff link) and emits a{{diff2}} (or similar) template. Hopefully it's even possible with the way wikitext output works inScribunto.
• User:Perryprog/Alt talk header: I can't stand the prevalence of using tables-for-layout on Wikipedia. I'm creating an alternate version of{{talk header}} that usesflexbox instead.

While this list is mainly for me, I'm sure there's something in there that someone would find interesting. Having this list first thing on my userpage might even help encourage me to work on them more often :).^{[Note 2]}

Pets are good. Here are some of mine:

  His name is Badger; this is him one minute into a walk.
