XFDcloser backlink removal on PRODs
[edit]Hey there. I'm investigating this XFDcloser bug report, and I notice that your workflow appears to use XFDcloser when processing PRODs. For example, looking at the edit summary tags, it looks like you deleted Siege of Hirson with Twinkle, but you removed its backlinks with XFDcloser (example diff). I am just wondering how you get XFDcloser to run on PRODs. Can you share the steps/clicks with me? I can't find the option to run it on PRODs. Thanks in advance for your help. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:22, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Novem Linguae: Hi, when I load a deleted page in article namespace (when it displays the read warning box and deletion summary like this), I see "XFDC Unlink" in my Tools sidebar under "Actions". I'm not sure if anything in my Preferences settings affects it being displayed, but it seems that it doesn't show up for every admin. I also use the Vector (2022) skin, so I wonder if older skins have limitations. ✗plicit 11:22, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Interesting. Just checked (I'm on Legacy 2010) and those options show up for me as well. I know it's good to fix bugs, but I wonder if Twinkle's unlink tool would be a better option for things like this until said bug gets fixed. Primefac (talk) 13:24, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks! I see the unlink option now and will use that to troubleshoot the bug. Happy holidays :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:12, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
Hi, you removed the link to International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, so the disambiguation VLDB now links only to one element, which is a bit strange... Unfortunately, I missed the deletion discussion. Actually, this is the top venue (beside of SIGMOD) for database papers, it is not hard to find secondary sources: [1] with an acceptance rate of 24%, it is even lower than that of SIGMOD. So not sure how the nomination for deletion could be successful. So I am not sure how to proceed: Of course, I could add a paragraph to very large database, but this is also strange and it feels a bit wrong keeping an entry for less important conferences but not for VLDB...

Hi Explicit, Noting that you closed the discussion as delete, that there were only three participants, and that one of those participants has been globally blocked as a compromised account. Not sure if you want to reopen/relist the discussion. TarnishedPathtalk 12:34, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
Hi Explicit, as above you closed discussion as merge, where there were only three participants, and where the editor linked above is globally blocked. You may want to consider reopening/relisting this. TarnishedPathtalk 22:13, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
Hi Explicit, Same issue as above with the editor who has been globally blocked. This time it was closed as soft delete due to only two participants. You may wish to considered reopening/relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 22:16, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Can I ask how on what basis you closed the discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asian American public television as delete, and/or how you weighted votes based on policy? Thanks, Katzrockso (talk) 06:25, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
Category restoration request
[edit]Hi! I have worked to restore over 30 articles about Drag Race episodes via Articles for Creation. Are you able to restore Category:RuPaul's Drag Race season 7 episodes and Category:RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 episodes, or would you prefer I submit a request at REFUND? There are six entries for both subcategories. I intend to get all articles about Drag Race episodes restored, and therefore the other subcategories as well. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:10, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Another Believer: Hi, I've gone ahead and restored these two categories. ✗plicit 00:36, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'll be requesting restoration of similar subcategories as more episode entries are created. Appreciate your help, ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:09, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
