User talk:The Transhumanist

The Transhumanist talk page email contributions edit count goodbye This page is best viewed while having a cup of tea. To remind you of this and to help set the mood, I've provided a virtual one. Enjoy. Please contact me concerning anything to do with outlines or the Outlines WikiProject. Questions, problems, conflicts, AfD's, etc. etc. Thank you. Tip of the day Difference between WikiProjects and portals? What is the difference between WikiProjects and portals? WikiProjects are groups of editors who team up to collaborate on developing and maintaining articles or other features or aspects of Wikipedia. There is a Portals WikiProject, for example. WikiProjects are linked to from article talk pages with WikiProject banners like {{WikiProject Politics}} for example, but not from within articles. Portals are mainly for readers, providing an alternative doorway into a subject, and can be linked to from articles using the {{Portal}} template in an article's See also section. There may or may not be a WikiProject and a portal on the same subject. By the way...the WikiProject Portals is currently redesigning and revamping the entire portals system, and could use all the help it can get. New participants are welcome.

Chaotic Enby has given you a fox! Foxes promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day much better. Your fox must be fed and given headpats three times a day and will be your faithful companion forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a fox, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. We may not agree about everything regarding artificial intelligence, but I'm always happy to see the efforts you put into the project in that regards! Give someone a fox by adding {{subst:Fox}} or {{subst:Fox2}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

MediaKyle (talk) 00:35, 9 March 2026 (UTC) What is the user script for finding specific pieces of text? For example, if I wanted to find and manipulate every instance of the wikitext |year= on a page, how would I do that in a userscript? VidanaliK (talk to me) (contributions) 23:36, 19 March 2026 (UTC) @VidanaliK: Simple answer: see https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp General answer: Learn regex. It's a mini-language for specifying search/replace strings. It is used in most programming languages, including the scripting language for making userscripts (JavaScript). In addition to being used in programming, it is also supported by many programs as an advanced way to input search queries, so, in addition to supporting ordinary searches, they also let you specify searches written in regex, also known as "regular expressions". For example, Wikipedia's wikitext editor lets you search with regular expressions (you have to check a box), and WikEd, the advanced editor that can be installed from Preferences on Wikipedia, lets you search with ordinary search strings, and supports regex searches and search/replace as well; and so does AutoWikiBrowser. Advanced file managers, like MultiCommander, also support regex, and can be used for renaming files in batches. Regex searches are far more powerful than ordinary searches, and therefore, Regex is a basic skill all programmers and power users should know. Here's a quick presentation of regex: https://faculty.kutztown.edu/schwesin/spring2023/csc310/lectures/JavaScript_RegExp.pdf Cutting edge answer: Since you are asking me, a human, I assume you haven't tried https://perplexity.ai yet. Not only can it answer questions about any programming language in seconds, you can ask it to write code in any programming language, and it will. If it can't write the whole userscript you want, it can at least write one section ("function") at a time. Hint: interview perplexity.ai on what it is and what it can do. During the interview, ask every question you can think of. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   07:49, 22 March 2026 (UTC) Thanks for giving me the idea for Perplexity; after several fixes I figured out how to make the script I want. Thanks! VidanaliK (talk to me) (contributions) 01:41, 23 March 2026 (UTC) @VidanaliK: Things are changing fast in the AI world. Perplexity has crippled its free tier down to 2 prompts per session. But duckduckgo now has an AI called duck.ai, which allows you to choose from 6 models in its free tier. The best of those is Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5, but it is not the default, so you have to select it. After you've done that, to get the best out of it, you click on "fast" and then click on "reasoning". duck.ai's "download chat" feature captures everything, including the model's chain-of-thought. One drawback is that Haiku sometimes decides not to search; you can prevent that problem by adopting the habit of starting your prompts with "Search for" or "Look up", or end the prompt with a search order. But that's all old school, as a new paradigm of AIs has hit the mainstream... Due to the Anthropic Claude Code agentic harness source code leak on March 31st, the whole world of AI has leaped forward. If you aren't very familiar with that, look up it and its impact. Haiku can help you research it. Make a timeline: it will blow you away. That source code represented billions of dollars in research and development, "gifted" to the world for free, allowing developers to create state-of-the-art AI apps that they never would have been able to afford to do. The impact has been and continues to be surreal. Now state-of-the-art agentic AI is available for installing on users' computers. Agentic AIs are AI apps that are not limited to just displaying stuff on your screen, and that don't stop after one prompt; you give it a project or continuous task, such as developing a software program, and it keeps working on it even after you go to bed. AI is in the agentic phase now.    — The Transhumanist   10:12, 30 April 2026 (UTC) "Government of Europe" listed at Redirects for discussion The redirect Government of Europe has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines.

This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Outline of DC Comics, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace. If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.

How has it been? I've recently been editing Draft:Outline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict a bit but will have to take a short hiatus as exams are coming up where I'm from (will continue to make edits after ofc). Nevertheless, I wanted to propose an idea to you where we could team up with Wikipedia:WikiProject Presidents of the United States to create outlines of all the US presidents (if it works it could create like 40+ outlines in a short time). They have this open task system with a progress bar which I think could give them motivation for the collaborative project, but those are my two cents. What is your opinion? (Also can't wait to see you continue editing, I've been scouring the drafts and you've basically contributed majorly to all of them so WOW. Respect.) Atakes Ris (talk) 13:07, 20 May 2026 (UTC) Thanks. It has been getting more and more exciting, due to the ripple effects of the March 31st Anthropic AI source code leak (512,000 lines of program code). Billions of dollars of agentic AI research and development given to the world for free. The entire AI field has leaped forward because of it, with AI getting smarter faster than ever. We are now firmly in the agentic phase of AI, rapidly progressing into the multi-agent or collaborative AI phase. If you haven't installed agentic AI yet, I suggest that you do. As for creating 40 new outline drafts, I think it would be more practical to work on the 120+ outline drafts that we already have. Drafts get deleted if they go six months unedited. What little time I have to spend on outlines will be to prevent the outline drafts from disappearing. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.    — The Transhumanist   10:41, 24 May 2026 (UTC) Hello there again! :) I have an idea again. What would you think of organising a drive to help reduce the number of outline drafts we have to proper outlines (considering that a major driving force for recent outline development has been you, and we kindaaaaaaaa need more people to help out)? Exams are still underway but I have added some stuff to Draft:Outline of the arts (procrastinating studying for Wikipedia lmao), could you take a look? Thanks. Atakes Ris (talk) 12:08, 5 June 2026 (UTC) Concentrate on preparing for your exams. Focus. Talk to me when those are done. Ace 'em.    — The Transhumanist   06:28, 6 June 2026 (UTC) Okay exams are done, and I have taking a hiatus from outlines to other things (gotten a bit too monotonous lol). Anyhow, any ideas on your part to revitalise activity and interest in Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines? Atakes Ris (talk) 10:04, 23 June 2026 (UTC) My advice is to forget about outlines for awhile, continue your hiatus, and take the plunge of installing agentic AI locally, on your computer. It's wild, man. AI is advancing fast, and doing this will let you catch the wave. It will also increase your situational awareness, and then, you'll know what to do: amazing things.    — The Transhumanist   00:06, 27 June 2026 (UTC) Barnstar The Original Barnstar Hello, The Transhumanist! From the bottom of my heart, I award you a barnstar. Your user page inspired me to create my own. Special thanks for supporting and developing the Outline wikiproject. I stumbled upon it recently, and it genuinely surprised me and made me very happy. RiiffTower (talk) 18:35, 10 June 2026 (UTC) Happy First Edit Day! Happy First Edit Day, The Transhumanist, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! ☘︎☘︎☘︎ALEXHammeke (talk | guestbook | sandbox) 18:52, 8 July 2026 (UTC) Restored draft outlines Hello, The Transhumanist, Boy, this page is extremely distracting. Could you fix it so that it reads like a regular User talk page? I didn't know where to put my messages. I think other new editors looking at it might just leave. Just remove the confusing content at the bottom of the page. Just my 2 cents. Can you please make minor edits to all of the outlines you asked me to restore (see User:SDZeroBot/G13_eligible for a list). Otherwise they are likely to get deleted again because they are eligible for CSD G13 now again. I'd do it myself but there are so many drafts that I think you should share the load and if you want these draft kept, make an edit to each page. I recommend doing it as soon as possible. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:07, 19 July 2026 (UTC) @Liz:  Done (Thank you).    — The Transhumanist   10:41, 26 July 2026 (UTC) Your draft article, Draft:Outline of time Hello, The Transhumanist. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Outline of time". In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:55, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
