Hi 🙂
I would like to disable emoji auto-complete.
I’ve seen this : [When inserting colon and pressing enter, a smiley is inserted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/when-inserting-colon-and-pressing-enter-a-smiley-is-inserted/35684)
but the link at the end ([https://meta.discourse.org/t/default-emoji-plugin-how-to-disable/3415](https://meta.discourse.org/t/default-emoji-plugin-how-to-disable/3415)) seems to be forbidden.

Hello and welcome @Thomas_DC 🙂
It looks like that old topic was deleted at some point.
Are you looking to disable all emojis or just the autocomplete?
For all emojis, you can toggle off `enable emoji`.
And for the autocomplete I think you can jack up `emoji autocomplete min chars` to something ridiculous to effectively make it unusable.
Could you give either of those a try and see if it helps?

I guess it’s related to [Emoticon auto-completion in french](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emoticon-auto-completion-in-french/34971)?
I have the same pb too.

Can I do that as an user ?
I’m a [discourse.gnome.org](http://discourse.gnome.org) user, and [they tell that they can’t help me because it’s a site-wide setting](https://discourse.gnome.org/t/disabling-smileys/19879).
