(alt account of User:Nick Moyes) My main account is User:Nick Moyes.

This is my demonstration account, intended for creating screenshots to show how to edit Wikipedia, or for testing/teaching purposes.

Since becoming an admin in 2020, I may also use this account for editing in unsecured places such as editathons, or when on public wifi/other people's devices.

Note: Between Dec 2021 and Feb 2022 I shall be using this non-admin alt-account for the purpose of familiarising myself again with the interface and default settings seen by brand new users. Mobile edits are likely to still be made from my main account because my password is so fiddly to enter, I can't easily type it without access to a keyboard! I may also frequently switch back to my main account to deal with urgent admin matters.

For record purposes I shall list below the things I am really missing from my normal settings:

  • no 'Reply' tool (hugely missed)
  • no WP:TWINKLE (ditto above)
  • no Copyright Violation checker in the Tools menu
  • no Teahouse talk back tool (only relevant to WP:TH hosts)
  • Navigation Popups
  • My favourite Special:RecentChanges settings which only show the most likely troublesome edits.
  • Not yet Extended Confirmed with this account, so i forgot various pages couldn't be accessed.

I am surprised a can still mouseover diffs and hist links to view the content (which I really like) but I miss the more detailed Navigation Popups content.
