I am considering requesting this right, but how do I search for examples of #5 and #6? I've been a Wikipedian for nearly 20 years, and I think I've done some of those things, but I've no idea how to zero in on them, and I may have forgotten some things I've touched.

You could use xtools to pull up a list of pages you've edited in the various namespaces, or look at your contribs and filter by namespace. Primefac (talk) 19:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - that's the obvious part of it. I probably should have said I can easily produce a list of work I've done in template space altogether. The issue here is winnowing down the results to what #5/#6 is looking for. I'd have to manually drill down. I've done 940 template edits, as well as loads of template-like editing in WikiProjects.

I mean... #5 is just looking through your template-space contributions for edits to a /sandbox. If you've been making TPERs, then your edit summary will likely include mention of that (I believe the wording is Template-protected edit request on <date>: new section, though even just looking for "new section" might work). That should help narrow it down. Primefac (talk) 08:06, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does criterion 4 means active blocks? and does it also covers pblocks? Toadette^Edit! 19:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It says (including partial blocks) right in there. If there is an active block, by definition it is "less than six months". Primefac (talk) 19:53, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to have this right someday, and I was wondering, though I do not meet the one year requirements, how can I check if I meet the other four? 48JCL 15:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most can be checked just by going through your contributions, but the xtools counter (for you, [1]) can make that a bit easier. Primefac (talk) 15:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. — 48JCL 23:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
