A message from Gabriel.c.drummond.cole

Hi, your huggle script just welcomed me to wikipedia, but I've been making infrequent edits with this account for the last 11 years. Being welcomed after so long as if I were a new user by your script felt impersonal and mildly insulting, I don't know if there are parameters that you could adjust but anyway an unpleasant experience.

@Gabriel.c.drummond.cole Unfortunately, the only parameter I could adjust in the program is to not give out welcome messages at all; I could also choose to skip instead of marking the edit as a 'good' edit, which would skip the welcome message but could also slightly delay the whitelisting of your account.
Perhaps there needs a way to 'skip' welcoming older accounts, and either of us can suggest that at Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:43, 8 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
