Survey research and design in psychology
I noticed that Survey research and design in psychology was based on &lt;center&gt; tags. But, interestingly, it didn't actually center the text. The &lt;center&gt; tag is deprecated in HTML 5, and all of the pages that use it are showing up on Special:LintErrors/obsolete-tag. I wrote some code to replace the &lt;center&gt; tag with current &lt;div&gt; formatting. Interestingly, the &lt;div&gt; is correctly centered on Survey research and design in psychology, but that may not be what you really wanted. There are a number of related pages that all have &lt;center&gt; tags that weren't really centered before. Take a look and let me know if you'd like me to automate some type of cleanup. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 03:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Dave Braunschweig - Thanks for letting me know. Wow, I didn't realise that &lt;center&gt; is done with in HTML5 - bummer - I reckon I've used it in a lot of places on WV :( - I've tidied up that specific page (I think &lt;center&gt; wasn't doing much on that page because the table was 100% wide) and will keep an eye out for fixing other pages. Thanks for working the MaintenanceBot to do this. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:27, 27 April 2017 (UTC)


 * The template is updated to use HTML5. You can use that when you want to center. It's fine for most situations, but does fail if you try to put a wikitext table inside it. Since &lt;center&gt; doesn't work inside wikitext tables, I'll see if I can write some code to automate that cleanup. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:18, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Multiple linear regression
Hi Jtneill!

Your statistics resource Multiple linear regression appears to be well-developed and ready for general learners! Would you like to have it announced on our Main Page News? --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 23:05, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's fine, thanks for letting me know. You're doing a great job with the news feed! Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:07, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Creating Pages with External Links
We had a lot of issues with abuse from new users creating pages with external links. I set up a filter a while ago that prevents this abuse, but it's now catching a number of your students. There are two work-arounds. 1) Students can create pages without links, then add the links. 2) You or I (bureaucrats) can add the users to the confirmed user group. Confirmed users aren't new, and are therefore not restricted. Let me know if I can help. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 03:19, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, cool, makes sense and explains why some students were getting capthas and some weren't in class. Option 1 is fine, no problem, but good to know that Option 2 is there. Appreciate it. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:53, 17 August 2017 (UTC)


 * The CAPTCHA is separate. That's built into Mediawiki now, based on the number of account creations or page creations from a given IP. There is a way we can do bulk account creations, if necessary. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 15:20, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Spam Whitelist
If you want to add something to the spam whitelist, be sure to escape the periods. Otherwise, periods match all characters. \dx.doi.org\b is probably \bdx\.doi\.org\b. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:13, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
