Hi. I see you've been creating shortcuts for templates. It seems obvious these are meant to be helpful, but my sense is they create more work than they save, since they greatly increase the surface area of the infrastructure we have to maintain going forward. Have you read Pillars of writing? It's meant to be a highly compact overview of what we do at Wikinews, all the most core principles packed into a short page. Later, if you're interested to try your hand at Wikinews writing, there's a great tutorial on writing a first article at Writing an article. --Pi zero (talk) 12:15, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for copyediting, Geolodus
Hi Geolodus :-)

Thank you for editing others' stories, seemingly from a mobile device. If you do not mind me asking, what mobile device are you using? I am looking for a new mobile or tablet, and would be glad to know what you find useful.

Note: If you switch to the desktop version, there is the Timeless skin (view) which is more mobile friendly than than the mobile frontend. If you like, switch to desktop version, and set your skin in your preferences. This is, of course, optional -- only that in my personal opinion, the Timeless skin can be more convenient...

Again thanks and keep up the great work.

 * Hello, and thanks! I mostly edit from a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but I actually do browse on desktop from time to time (actually prefer the latter's interface for several reasons, but it's nearly unusable on a mobile device). I was not aware that I could switch skins; will try Timeless to see if it's better. On a final note, I was surprised to see that this message was not merely a template like the ones people mostly use on Wikipedia, such as this or this. Geolodus (talk) 04:41, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If I were to believe gmsarena's specifications, that is a 5.5 inches screen of 1440 x 2560 screen res. That's impressive; my desktop's screen resolution is 1080 by 720 or so (at a 15" screen size). In your case I think the timeless skin could possibly work well. If it is difficult to read, just zoom in, and it will respond appropriately.
 * I'm glad you like the non-template message. (I find them particularly annoying at Commons.) --Gryllida (talk) 04:33, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
