User talk:Mfield

For his succinct, pithy, relevant, and droll AN/I closure Result statement at this AN/I discussion, Mfield is hereby awarded the Lenny Bruce Honorary AN/I Result of the Week Award. Brag wisely; you've only got six more days to enjoy it. Mathglot (talk) 06:26, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for making this script! I found a bug however. If my diff times are shown in local time, there will be a drift by my UTC offset. For instance, I am 8 hours behind UTC currently, so if I make an edit, it will show in the history as "8 hours ago" instead of "Now" which is incorrect. Once that is fixed, I'd be happy to reinstall it. TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 06:23, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, yes that's a current limitation that's noted in the notes. A lot of admins/editors i know use UTC everywhere anyway due to it being easier to reconcile everywhere, but if I get a minute to try and find a workaround for it I will. Mfield (Oi!) 06:28, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Completely missed that. Thanks for noting. TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 06:30, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

@TheTechie Good news, I just found a way to detect the timezone offset so it should now work fine with non UTC times. Thanks for triggering me to fix it ;) Mfield (Oi!) 01:38, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

And thank YOU for fixing it! :) TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 02:04, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

I think I found another issue unfortunately. The relative timestamp when viewing a discussion doesn't really cross lines well. Currently it does something like this (from this comment):

                 (58 min.
pm, Today (UTC-8) ago)   

Could you make it so that it all appears on one line like this?

pm, Today (UTC-8) (58 min. ago) TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 05:23, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@TheTechie Should be fixed now to non breaking spaces. Mfield (Oi!) 05:29, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Hmm, not quite. Now it appears as:

              (8 min. ago
Today, (UTC-8))          TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 05:38, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

How about now? I put a minimum width on the element, so if it still does it now then it may the browser deciding to wrap that element forcibly for some reason due to another element. Mfield (Oi!) 05:47, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Nope, still doing it. I wonder if it's a Firefox quirk; I am using Librewolf after all. TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 05:56, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

So am I ha, I'll mess with it some more tomorrow Mfield (Oi!) 05:57, 25 February 2026 (UTC) Mfield (Oi!) 05:57, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Figured it out. You have to remove the width property as that forces it to do the weird line thing. Without that parameter it's fine.

Another question. Does the timestamp update on discussions or is it from when you loaded the page? TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 06:02, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

they are calculated from the timestamps and injected into the DOM at the time the page is rendered, so they won't update without the page reloading Mfield (Oi!) 06:07, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

In that case, I'd probably provide a way to turn that specific function off, as when viewing, for example, long AN/I threads which takes minutes to read, that could get out of date. But that's just a suggestion of mine. TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 06:10, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@TheTechie Better than that, I have just improved it so it auto updates all the sub 1 hour relative times every minute automatically, so you can read away now on those long threads and they will be updating themselves. Mfield (Oi!) 21:40, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! TheTechie^[she/they] | talk? 23:00, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I can actually remove the width property anyway now the min width one is there, i may switch it to adding a class so they can be user styled also Mfield (Oi!) 06:10, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up the page. Can you remove Arthur Hsu, (Vice President of Engineering). He has not worked at the company for several years. Can you remove the memory card image. The company has not offered 1TB memory cards in a couple years. I uploaded this image if it can be used, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AGreenliant_SATA_NANDrive_BGA_SSD.png&oldid=prev&diff=1176518761 Teeteekid (talk) 04:42, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the image, but could you remove the 1 TB in front of Greenliant NANDrive SSD chip. The company does not offer 1TB NANDrive SSDs. Teeteekid (talk) 18:27, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, can you update the number of employees to 130 (https://www.militaryaerospace.com/directory/board-products/memory-boards/company/14060289/greenliant) Teeteekid (talk) 18:31, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Sure Mfield (Oi!) 18:32, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Mfield, I need help to fix the remaining remnants of the vandalism by @RoygbivBean on Pauline Hanson and Barnbay Joyce's articles. It's difficult for me since I have not experienced this situation before nor have I researched what to do in this situation. Qwerty123M (talk) 05:06, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

@Qwerty123M on it, sorry started before I replied. Mfield (Oi!) 05:17, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting that vandalism! Sorry if I made it worse, I don't have much clue what to do to combat an erroneous move like that. Qwerty123M (talk) 05:20, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

With page move vandalism it's best to report it right away and let an admin move it back, as you won't be able to move it back yourself due to the redirects needing to be deleted to make way. Mfield (Oi!) 05:22, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
