Reply to comment by GoArray in how do I wire up this light? by scarecrow1985
Thanks, yeah, i figured it was probably the safest option. I'm an idiot, I should have marked up everything, at least I could have put it back to the way it was 🙄

Yup. Hindsight, etc.
I really don't advise tackling this on your own but I wonder if this is your layout? You'd have to open all the switches to be sure then do a lot of chasing.

Honestly, you'd think that diagram would be it. But somehow the pendant has 11 wires running into it! It's a 'loop' system (Ireland), so maybe that's why it's so crazy. Thanks for looking though, I appreciate it!

That's pretty common, 8 of those 11 wires are just travelers from one switch the the other, but which 8 and going where? Lol.
Yup, leave it to the belated pro.
