Lorem ipsum generator?

I'm curious about the purpose and design of the Lorem ipsum template you are putting together in your sandboxes. I have a few tip/tricks that may make this work better. Copying templates from wikipedia, I have discovered, is a challenge because of the advanced nature of their templates. So when I've found things that might be interesting I generally have to re-implement from first principles. Thank you for your good ideas about article updates.

I am learning. That’s all. I don’t imagine needing a lorem ipsum here but it was complex enough to make me bump into differences between this mediawiki and wikipedia’s template system. I also looked at the forum templates when I saw ours not displaying like I expected. All a learning process. —¿philoserf? (talk) 07:43, 12 June 2020 (EDT)

Gvegh Dictionary

Just added two Gvegh dictionary entries...have I done them correctly?BackworldTraveller (talk) 13:43, 22 June 2020 (EDT)

I’m new here. Still, I will take a look. About to begin some cleanup there. —¿philoserf? (talk) 15:15, 22 June 2020 (EDT)

I added a heading level 2 for the language and created the category. Looks good. —¿philoserf? (talk) 15:25, 22 June 2020 (EDT)

Is this something that is being generally removed?BackworldTraveller (talk) 18:03, 23 June 2020 (EDT)

From the source template, yes please. The text in the top of the box was updated to include the link. Tjoneslo (talk) 18:12, 23 June 2020 (EDT)

Yepper, inside of {{sources}}. —¿philoserf? (talk) 18:15, 23 June 2020 (EDT)

Can AB-101 remove the majority of entries...there are a very large number and by hand it would be horrible. BackworldTraveller (talk) 02:07, 24 June 2020 (EDT)

Yes, I will set that up at some point. Added to my todo list. Tjoneslo (talk) 06:48, 24 June 2020 (EDT)

Vanejen edit

I've reinstated the beaked monkey worlds category entry as that drives the Beaked Monkey distribution box. BackworldTraveller (talk) 02:06, 24 June 2020 (EDT)

Removing Placeholders

Hi, can you check to see if there are active contributors before deleting elements from articles please. You've removed placeholders (title + no information yet available) from worlds in Matzen Sector, which are there for the chap who is developing it (User:Nichollsr1970), which he is busy doing at the moment. All done with good intent I know, but it kind of tripped him over when he was looking to add elements, finding that headings and stuff were gone. Checking out Special Pages / Active users should show if the developer has done anything in the last few months - if they have, maybe consider sending them a quick talk message to check out the state of play beforehand, just to be on the safe side. And many thanks for all your work and contributions btw.
