User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson

Hi! This is my user talk page. Just leave me a message and I’ll respond when I can. There are three ways to edit this page. Way number one is pressing that ‘Add Topic’ button. This is the best way to start a new topic. Way number two is the source editor. Just click that ‘Edit source’ button and you’re good to go, but when using this method, please sign your posts by, at the end, typing four tildes (~~~~). The last is Special:NewSection. I mean, it works, but why???

Do you need a hand?

I just saw your edit notes lol, but not sure exactly what you're trying? If you need a hand I can try and help/find someone who's around. Keith (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Lol thanks, I am trying to add userscripts and losing my mind trying. I am trying to upload from Wikipedia and into my common.js file which (on Wikipedia at least) automatically runs for you to do something, but it is completely failing. It probably isn’t possible and I am wasting my time to be honest. Thanks for asking! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:03, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Have looked into it with some of the technical folks, and we currently have user Javascript disabled for security reasons. I'll have them take a look and get back to you! But just wanted to let you know it wasn't a 'you' problem lol Keith (talk) 21:48, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Ah okay! Time to use common.css (somehow??) AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 05:47, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Thinking about it, I am quite happy that you chose to disable Javascript! I hate that thing anyway because it is not secure and looks like a pain to program in anyway. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 05:48, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Wiki help

Hi! I have a wiki on Miraheze that I created recently and was wondering if you're open to helping me out with some admin stuff? You seem to enjoy tinkering with CRW, so I was hoping we could work together for a bit on this new wiki. Is that something you'd be interested in? Beanie Bo (talk) 17:57, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Sure! I actually have self-hosted mediawiki instances (on my own computer using something called XAMPP, you can’t look it up online) so I wouldn’t mind helping out! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:25, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Also, how did you get the name ‘Beanie Bo’? I’ve been curious but never asked on your talk page. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:26, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Nice! Can you email me via my user page and let me know your email so we can talk about it? The wiki is currently set to private but I'll open it so you can create a user account.

As for my wiki name, well Beanie is just a throwaway that I use sometimes. It was a play on Mr. Bean lol, and the Bo part just randomly came to mind when I created this wiki account. I didn't expect to be so involved with CRW for this long but it turned out great! Beanie Bo (talk) 19:44, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I don’t use my main email for things like wikis, but I can attach a temporary email address if you want to talk via email. I used to use a temporary email address up until I thought it was an awful idea if I randomly got mail from it. Cool story on the name though! Did remind me of Mr. Bean. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:49, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

It's all good. I'll just link it here. Apparently you can create account even when it's set to private...? I'll verify you once it shows up for me. Also, I can't do much at the moment since I'm not at my desktop. The mobile theme is so broken lol.. maybe tomorrow we can discuss it more

Beanie Bo (talk) 20:04, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

You cannot create an account, I couldn’t find the create account button there so I went to Special:CreateAccount where it said you needed to be a member to create it. There is a setting in MediaWiki where you can make others be able to request an account and you can accept it, though. That is probably what you saw. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:22, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

I made it public. Should be good now (I hope!) Beanie Bo (talk) 21:00, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, it works - going to create an account now. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:12, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
