 ::You should definitely request Rollback regardless. You've got to be among the most active vandal warriors on the Wiki right now, but as far as I know you're one of only two who still doesn't have it (Jacket Terrapin is the other). Don't even worry about misfires, the staff is super understanding about it given that you fix it quickly; the application process will be a breeze given your track record, and the tool will be more than worth the effort.

+== [[SW:QDV]] ==
+If a clear bad faith user makes a post on their talk page like [[User talk:162.233.176.177|this]], do not bother responding to them. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 13:29, April 28, 2022 (EDT)
+:I thought I would get a QDV mention. I figured that since they brought the conflict up on Miles' talk page a while back, that there was a ''slight'' chance that they could be convinced they were wrong and would stop in the future (assuming they never checked back on Miles' talk page and missed the edit summary).
+:Off-topic but I've wanted to mention it for a while, the image in your sig uses the old "Image" prefix instead of the more modern "File" prefix and there is white-space around the filename that doesn't do anything. Minor but something that I felt like mentioning at some point. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 15:40, April 28, 2022 (EDT)
+::The sig image has been fixed. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:52, April 28, 2022 (EDT)
+== Regarding PNGs ==
+Since the topic has come up, I think this is something to mention. While this Wiki has no stated preference for image formats, some NIWA Wikis state that PNGs are preferred over JPEGs for gameplay screenshots, due to lossless formats being a better representation of actual gameplay, particularly native res lossless images. I think this is a sensible rule, and where possible it makes sense to apply it here. Obviously I do not have the means to do this myself, as the Switch's built in capture feature doesn't let you save captures as PNGs, or at native res, even when using a microSD card. If you ''do'' have the means to do this, I would like to ask you to do so. If you're not willing to do this, would it at least be possible for you to upload a native res version?

+:I understand the reasoning, if I recall the Mario Wiki outlines their format preference. Of course I'm not going to go around and redo everything as PNGs (unless they are objectively poor quality), but if the clarity is important to the content then I can do so. <s>If I have the means but am unwilling to upload, then why would I be willing to upload?</s> --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 21:23, May 11, 2022 (EDT)
+== Regex examples ==
+I suck at using regex so I'm asking you, how would you handle replacing all links such as <nowiki>[[Tournament:Test|Test]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{Trn|Test}}</nowiki>?--[[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 07:12, May 19, 2022 (EDT)
+:<nowiki>[, ], and | are used in regex syntax, so escape those with a backslash (\). Nothing special up to :, so that can go in as is. To make sure the text on both sides of the pipe are the same, you'll want a capture group and backreference it. A capture group is in parenthesis () with the rules inside. You want everything up to the pipe, in other words every character that is not a pipe. Desired characters go in square brackets [], we can use ^ to get everything except what is after the ^, so ^| is everything except the pipe (you don't need to escape the pipe here, but sometimes you do). Since there's multiple characters, use + to indicate 1 or more characters to capture. Put the escaped pipe after. To reference what was just captured, use \N where N is the index of the capture group in the order they appear, so you want \1 for the first (and only) one. The replacement text is much simpler because there is barely any syntax to escape, but instead of \1 you use $1. And, ta-dah, you have a pile of lines and curves.</nowiki>
+:<nowiki>\[\[Tournament:([^|]+)\|\1\]\] -> {{Trn|$1}}</nowiki> --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 07:47, May 19, 2022 (EDT)
+== "Pointless" changes ==
+The reason why I made those pointless changes is so my edit count would go up a bit. I even knew some of them were pointless, but yet I made the changes anyway. This actually reminds me of the very same thing on English Wikipedia to a larger extent. --[[User:DarkMatterMan4500|DarkMatterMan4500]] ([[User talk:DarkMatterMan4500|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/DarkMatterMan4500|contribs]]) 14:45, May 20, 2022 (EDT)
+:Yeah don't do that please. If you are caught doing that again there will be consequences. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 16:57, May 20, 2022 (EDT)
