Викидим

This user uses the personal pronouns
he, him

My nickname is a Cyrillic projection of a Greek: Βικιδημος portmanteau, something along the lines of Greek: Νικόδημος ("victorious people", cf. Nicodemus). It is intended to mean "[of] wikipeople". If you have hard time finding Cyrillics on your keyboard, feel free to address me as Wikidemus.

lang-de and langx

When Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 September 27 § Replace and delete lang-?? templates began, {{langx}} was used in one article (Adygea). Since then, other editors have been replacing {{lang-de}} with {{langx}}. There is nothing to stop you from doing the same in the articles that you monitor...

I will definitely personally switch to {{langx}}: there is no learning curve, the overall model from the editor's POV is the same, so savings elsewhere might be justified, and the change is so minor that it certainly does not warrant an opposing stance. Future slip-ups are possible (I type many constructs on autopilot), but unlikely. That said, I fully expect User:Somebody "Notme" Else to run a bot replacing the instances of {{lang-xx}} in the text already in articles automatically, as manual bot-like operations are prone to typos.

Yeah, that somebody would be me, I have the code for a bot in process.
