Re. "Strange edits from multiple accounts"

No worries. I don't find the things i'm doing that broken or wrong, but at any rate I do have sandbox from which I can establish continuity.

Strange edits from multiple accounts

Recently, you've been making a lot of strange edits to the wiki, both from this account, and from an alternate account User:색地図 (who is obviously the same person as you, based on both the times and content of your edits).

This wiki is intended to hold information about esoteric programming languages, so that other readers can learn about them, but many of the pages you've created appear to be other things. I have deleted several of them (and am likely to delete more) because there isn't enough context in the page for readers to understand what they are about, or because they are in the wrong format (pages here are meant to be text that is useful to a reader and can be understood without context, not independent files on their own). This wiki, Esolang, isn't a free host for arbitrary content (and isn't particularly good at hosting esolang programs – it is better to find a site that is designed for hosting programs, and host them there). It also isn't a good place for hosting personal things while you're working on them, because everything here is publicly viewable and publicly editable.

Additionally, making lots of small edits in quick succession annoys people who are trying to moderate the wiki or follow changes to it: it spams the edit logs (like Recent Changes) and makes it harder to understand the overall effect that the edits are having. You can use the "show preview" button in order to see what the effect of an edit would be, without actually submitting the page.

I suspect it would work out better for you to work on your languages on your own, possibly hosting the information elsewhere, and submitting them only when they are ready. As it is, you're creating a lot of broken, half-finished or out-of-context pages for which it's hard for readers to know what to do with them, and they are likely to deleted in a few days' time unless sufficient context is added that readers can understand them. --ais523 00:48, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
