Slap!

You have been slapped with a wet trout for this reason: this is actually quite cool, I love it! L10nM4st3r (talk) 09:25, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Help!

{{helpme}} I have a notification but have no idea where from, and can't read it. Does anybody know what I can do? L10nM4st3r (talk) 14:24, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Even just remove/mark it as read is good enough for me. If that is even possible. It's making me go crazy! L10nM4st3r (talk) 17:24, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

How to create a page

Well I do not know how to create a new page so I need your help.oh and how old are you. Wikivuyo (talk) 13:50, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Wikivuyo! I'm good. To create a page, type the url, say https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/PAGENAME onto your url box at the top of the screen, and click the "create" tab. Easy. Note that new users cannot create new pages in certain namespaces, like module: or help:, so you may need to wait a while if you want to make a page there. Or you can ask me if you can't make a certain page for some reason, and I'll take a look :) ^{-- L10nM4st3r} / _{ROAR at me!} 15:30, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

I have created a new bot in English Wikibooks

Hi Lionmaster, I have created a bot in English Wikibooks to automatically maintain the Authors and contributors lists of Wikibooks. If you are interested in using it for your book, all you need to do is to create a new page TITLE/Authors & Contributors, and add the title of the book to the end of this list separated by <br>. Hope this helps. -🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦Україні🇺🇦Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦(talk)🇺🇦 22:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

AuthorsAndContributors of Minecraft

Hi lion master, I have noticed (long ago) that you haven’t added the book “Minecraft” to the list of AuthorsAndContributorsBot. I have assumed the reason behind that is the existence of other books that also start with the prefix “Minecraft”. Just letting you know that I have added the book “Ukrainian” (there is also a book called “Ukrainian Dancing”. I typed in the list Ukrainian%2F, and the bot has code that knows what to do if the title ends with %2F. Anyways, the reason I’m not adding it myself is because I thought you might have other reasons not to add it, so I’m just letting you know. -Slava Ukrajini Heroyam Slava (talk) 16:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

@Slava Ukrajini Heroyam Slava: Thanks. Also, you can use my talkpage on wikibooks now, just so you know. ^{— L10nM4st3r} / _{ROAR at me!} 18:19, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! I see that you have add the book to the list so I have run the bot script. -Slava Ukrajini Heroyam Slava (talk) 19:26, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2023

Hi lion master, I have submitted a request in the wishlist survey Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/TOC in PDF versions can optionally include page numbers, which if accepted will be useful for Wikibooks printable versions.
