User talk:Quantum Immortal
Welcome!
Hi, Quantum Immortal! Welcome, and thanks for joining NetHackWiki!
- The How to help and Style guide pages are excellent starting points.
- Special:Recentchanges is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Questions? Need help? You can ask at the Community Portal, the forum, or on the discussion page associated with each article! Just remember to sign those posts with four tildes: ~~~~. That will expand to create a signature.
You can put {{NAOplayer|NAO player account}} on your user page to link to your NAO player account. Capitalization matters.
We are really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!
This is an automated greeting.

Unnecessary information
Your lynx change seems to be unnecessary padding - the article alreaedy has a link to the wikipedia article, which says the same thing. --paxed (talk) 17:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Sokoban pages
It turns out that the reason why trying to edit Sokoban and Sokoban (SLASH'EM) was timing out was because using substitutions like default={{lightgray|$1}} was creating a lot of transclusions of {{lightgray}}, which overloaded the parser. Removing those template calls from the substitutions, and instead setting the default char color using a single {{lightgray}} template around the whole <replacecharsblock>, fixed it.
(This is really a performance problem with the ReplaceCharsBlock extension, and I should look into optimizing it better, but in the mean time, this trick should take care of the issue in practice.) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 00:15, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yet an other ugly hack :P --Quantum Immortal (talk) 09:43, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Jedi
I'm pretty sure that techlevel/10+1 means that you divide the tech level by 10, then add 1, and that techlevel/5+1 is similar, since if it were tech level divided by 11 or 6, they would just say that. --Kahran042 (talk) 17:21, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yeap, you are right B[. I had a look at the patch.--Quantum Immortal (talk) 17:35, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Japanese pronunciation
http://www.transparent.com/learn-japanese/phrases.html is one of sheer millions of resources that can help you understand why "hoochoo" is completely wrong. That page has in-line hyperlinks that play .au audio files when clicked; of particular interest to you would be "Ohayō gozaimasu," which features three distinct o vowels which, despite being rendered differently, are all pronounced the same - long o.
Frankly, I hope you can understand my annoyance at having to bring you this information. That someone needed to go out of their way to provide you a correction as obvious as this is a strong indication that you don't have any business editing any articles on the subject of Japanese pronunciation.
Moreover, this is not the first time you've "corrected" something language-related that wasn't actually an error: https://nethackwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Asmodeus&diff=prev&oldid=96349
The phrase "dark-skinned and -haired" line, which you contested, is perfectly fine. That you personally weren't familiar with this "synthax" [sic] should have been an indicator to you that your language skills are impaired, to say nothing of the fact that the majority of your edits have grammatical, spelling, punctuation, and factual errors, both in the article content themselves and in the text of your revision summaries. You attempted to justify your reformatting of the aforementioned line by saying "dark-skinned and dark-haired" was "international" English, which is laughable, as there is no international English standard. The line is appropriate in both North American and Commonwealth (British) English, to name only two standards out of dozens.
Going forward, there is ample evidence that you should refrain from making language-related edits, as it is not a subject on which you've demonstrated competence.--74.137.179.27 07:45, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Addendum: There was absolutely no reason for this edit, either: https://nethackwiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Balrog&type=revision&diff=96190&oldid=92746
I'm afraid that I could spent weeks combing through your contribs and fixing all the egregious errors.--74.137.179.27 08:02, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- I put in hoochoo, in order to be short, it's not the point in giving long winded explanations on that. Most English speakers on the internet aren't native speakers. It's a matter of courtesy to avoid weird stuff. You are braking wiki etiquette.--Quantum Immortal (talk) 13:30, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
