Hello
Hello,
I'm sure you're eager to begin testing. So you're aware, you can't import cross-wiki scripts from wikimedia to here as you were attempting to do on your user script pages, in fact doing that is somewhat tricky even between wikimedia wikis, but here it won't work at all. That was incorrect, it seems cross-loading scripts here is no more tricky than it is between wikis in the same ecosystem, see below. Note that wikimedia maintains it's own ecosystem of test wikis although having the sysop flag added to your account on those could involve a tricky bureaucratic process. You also seem to be trying to import redwarn related stuff, while I'm not familiar with that tool in detail it is my understanding that many of its features run off of wikimedia toolforge and may not function as expected here.
On a related note, I can understand some irritation if you feel others are stealing your ideas, but let's be real here, it doesn't take a genius to think of testing scripts from other wikis here, you are far from the first people at this wiki to make those kind of edits, and bluntly accusing your fellow editors of stealing ideas is unlikely to result in a productive conversation anyway. Nothing too much to worry about but it always helps to be in the know, Best Fast - ZoomZoom (talk) 21:53, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
