Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee

message: I think it would help the greetings feel a little more personal if they included in some instances the number of years since an editor joined/gained adminship/etc. Would there be a way to facilitate that automatically with the tools you use?  talk 22:15, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I support this. A template parameter would be nice. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 03:23, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @EpicPupper I added the year for , and then got carried away and turned it into a full overhaul/modernization haha. Let me know what you think! I'd be happy to do similar revamps for the other templates if there's interest. Cheers,  talk 22:03, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Sdkb oh my goodness, I absolutely love that template! I love how it uses Tweemoji  Please continue to revamp any of the templates! I'll try to help out as well. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 22:06, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

text: @Sdkb Wow, that's wonderful! I'll have to start using that one for admin anniversaries, I was just thinking it'd be nice if they were even just a tad more personal. --Isro! chatter 17:43, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi, the current welcome template suggests users to go to the bulletin board for announcements. The page hasn't been used since 2008. Perhaps it could be marked as  and members could be linked here? 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 00:09, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Deprecate the Bulletin Board? 

message: I was thinking about going though and purging some inactive users, as I've seen some that've been inactive for 2 years, possibly more. Any objections? --Isro! chatter 16:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, if you mean removing editors from the individual day pages who left Wikipedia, be sure to leave  on their talk page so they know to re-add themselves should they return. Also, if they were a prolific editor you might list them at WP:MIA, as well. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for those links, I'll get started then! --Isro! chatter 17:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

text: If someone's indef blocked, but has been active > 6 months ago, should I remove them or leave them? It was a voluntary block, otherwise, I would've just removed them. --Isro! chatter 18:54, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

message: Several places tell me that I can add my WikiBirthday to the calendar ... but they give no indication of HOW to do that.  Clicking on today on that calendar displays a list of today's events - but again, no clue how that gets generated or how to update it. How can an editor add their first edit date (or actual birthday) to the system? Gronk Oz (talk) 02:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: , on the project page you see the calendar and under it a description of today's events. At the bottom of that box there are two links under "Other events". Choose the "this year" link. You will see the entire year in monthly calendars by scrolling down the page. Choose the month and day you want by clicking on it. You can edit the source like you would for any other article or page, add your name in the format as others have for the proper category and publish. :) --ARoseWolf 13:47, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the reply.  Done it now.  I naïvely thought that these entries would be pulled from some kind of database query; it never occurred to me that it was just hard-coded text like this.--Gronk Oz (talk) 14:51, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
