Font tag replacement
Hi Legoktm. I was wondering if you knew regarding font tags, how should font tags with relative sizes (i.e. +1, -1) be replaced? From my testing with span, it doesn't appear that this functionality was transferred from font tags. — Tenshi! (Talk page) 22:48, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Tenshi Hinanawi: it's documented in the HTML spec. Or might be easier to understand in code form. Legoktm (talk) 23:17, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- So my understanding is that +1 would be 4 and -1 would be 1. Converting those, they would be "large" and "x-small"? Tenshi! (Talk page) 23:29, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, +1 is 4 and therefore "large". But -1 is actually 2, because it's 3-1 ("If mode is relative-minus, then let value be the result of subtracting value from 3."), so it becomes "small". Legoktm (talk) 03:20, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Empty Categories tool
Hello, Legoktm,
I think there is a problem with Toolforge as the Empty Categories link tool isn't working. Can you check on it when you have a few minutes? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:31, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Sorry, I missed the announcement about the change last month, I should be able to fix it by tomorrow. Legoktm (talk) 18:50, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks. Also, HaleBot's Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories isn't updating either. Much appreciated, Legoktm! Liz Read! Talk! 21:51, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Liz: I've updated both now so you should be set. I've converted the on-wiki report to use SDZeroBot's Template:database report, which means you can trigger an update whenever you want using its web interface (it'll take just over a minute), and if future changes need to be made to the SQL, any on-wiki editor can fix them and not just me (though of course I'm always willing to help you out!!!).
- If that works well for you I think we could sunset the standalone Empty Categories tool. Legoktm (talk) 03:16, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

I think you have been inactive for a while
I think you've took a Wikibreak. Will you ever come back to editing? Also how is Legobot doing? Happy wikibreak!
- SimpleObjects-9ei (talk) 22:22, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @SimpleObjects-9ei: Two days with no edits is not a "wikibreak". If Lego is taking a wikibreak, please let them add the
{{wikibreak}}themselves. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:55, 8 March 2026 (UTC)- No. It's also not the wikifact because if a user did not edit for more than 2 days, I wonder:
- "Hm. Is this user taking a Wikibreak?"
- If the user did not edit for more than I think more than 10 days, 1 month, 1 year, the release date for GTA 6, then I wonder...:
- "Bro is actually taking a Wikibreak"
- One example is PeterSymonds, which we talked about before but left Wikipedia in 2013. Yet, I get it: if a user retires from Wikipedia, I shouldn't be like attempting to play poker and not add the Wikibreak template. It was no commercial failure mistake I made. - SimpleObjects-9ei (talk) 23:18, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- @SimpleObjects-9ei: it's been an hour since you last edited, are you on wikibreak now? Legoktm (talk) 01:44, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Not really. If you've seen me not editing from 02:00 to ~15:00 UTC that was because I'm sleeping. - SimpleObjects-9ei (talk) 02:35, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
