DannyS712 bot Task 14 is removing the ending }} when it's on the same line.[1][2] PrimeHunter (talk) 12:02, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@PrimeHunter thanks for letting me know. I should be able to sort it out in the next few days DannyS712 (talk) 17:31, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@PrimeHunter sorry for the delay, should be fixed now - https://github.com/DannyS712/bot/commit/b96b77533ec27e11c98e8bcf8f503584a0fc71aa --DannyS712 (talk) 05:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Now it duplicates the name.[3] I have reverted all six edits today. None of them had an incorrect name before. Task 14 is only for pages listed under E in Category:Stub message templates needing attention. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:19, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@PrimeHunter unfortunately the bot can't tell what the sortkey of the category is (i.e. if it is under "E") - but the substitution is meant to have no change if the name was already correct. I have re-patched this with https://github.com/DannyS712/bot/commit/ed29eb994ca2dfe14d3e597e05c21e85840fa2cc and then https://github.com/DannyS712/bot/commit/1500718f9dbd5588e6e41047b4004857ca3fa647 (since after the first patch edits became Special:Diff/1228671069 - an improvement but not a fix) which should properly fix it, sorry - I guess that is what I get for writing the first patch before coffee. I'll monitor the bot for the rest of the evening and then tomorrow --DannyS712 (talk) 14:42, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

edit

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to   Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

DannyS712 bot

edit

Hi one of the bot tasks is to create a list of non-orphaned articles that have the orphan tag. I’ve been manually removing the tags from the lists created by the bot on and off for several years and I’ve never once seen it make a mistake. Manual tag removal is easy but time consuming and I wonder whether there would be consensus now to get the bot to remove the tag automatically? Mccapra (talk) 05:28, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Mccapra there would have to be some consensus in favor of that, and I don't have the time to look into it at the moment, sorry --DannyS712 (talk) 18:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your live clock

Hi, I am a user of the live clock gadget, and recently discovered your rewriting of it which allows users to change the time zone as preferred. I'm a bit lost on how to install this (for use on the English Wikipedia) because, frankly, I'm coding illiterate. I was wondering if you had a push in the right direction for me. Thanks, Personhumanperson (talk) 13:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

edit

Hello DannyS712,

 
New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

 

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Progress

edit

Hey DannyS712, I hope you're well. There's no pressure or rush, especially because all of the much appreciated work that you do is optional, but I was just curious if you made any progress on this? To recap, the goal was to have your bot mark redirects left behind from page moves, by users with the page mover user permission, as patrolled. There was also a brief part of the discussion that included marking redirects created by administrators as patrolled, as all administrators are already included in WP:RAL and it would help to reduce the load time of the page when editing to add/remove users. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:45, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Hey man im josh BRFA filed, Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot III 74. Sorry for the delay. As for patrolling all redirects from admins, happy to do that but I need an actual discussion with consensus --DannyS712 (talk) 00:03, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey DannyS712! Thanks for creating this script. I wanted to let you know that the "close" links are no longer appearing on talk pages while using any non-Vector skins, most likely as a result of the new markup — you might want to take a look at that. Let me know if you have any questions! TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 07:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can confirm, I spent over an hour troubleshooting because I thought it was a conflict with one of my other scripts. It looks like the issue is with the span.mw-headline and heading selector; this commit to VisualEditor might be a good example of how another script fixed it. I don't know Javascript, otherwise I'd try to come up with a patch myself to help you out. The WordsmithTalk to me 02:22, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports

edit

In regards to the file on Mhusek for editing on 2023 IIHF World Championship Division II. The editor tried to use 'X' (twitter) as a source with only the url, no titles, no dates, nothing. The bot appropriately prompted the user to fix it, but I have removed it since it was not a reliable source anyway. Not a false positive. Needs no remedy. Did not know if I was allowed to contribute on the reports page.18abruce (talk) 14:00, 9 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@18abruce you're allowed to contribute to that page, but that is not what the report was about - if you take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?wpSearchUser=Mhusek you'll see that the user was asking about some edits that were entirely disallowed by the system --DannyS712 (talk) 14:03, 9 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey. Just an FYI that Wikipedia:Database reports/Orphans with incoming links appears to be broken because pl_namespace and pl_title were dropped from pagelinks. I believe the change would be

INNER JOIN ${database}.pagelinks link ON p.page_title = link.pl_title
  AND p.page_namespace = link.pl_namespace

to

INNER JOIN ${database}.linktarget ON p.page_title = lt_title
   AND p.page_namespace = lt_namespace
INNER JOIN ${database}.pagelinks link ON lt_id = link.pl_target_id

Also Wikipedia:Database reports/Orphans with incoming links says 2 or more links but the query is actually 3 or more links as the condition is > 2 rather than >= 2.

@Fred Gandt for some reason I had the page on my watchlist, and figured you might be interested to know that at least someone cares, though I don't think I have installed it and have no idea how I found it in the first place --DannyS712 (talk) 11:09, 22 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

User:DannyS712/TagsManager question

edit

Hello, @DannyS712. I was wondering if there is a way to have tags already inserted on the page inserted into the {{multiple issues}} parameter? If not, that is fine as well. I like using this script and the de-stub script to help with content assessments.   Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 09:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

sorry, not sure how to do that - if you want to fork the script and add that feature I can redirect my version --DannyS712 (talk) 06:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Section remover

edit

Your section remover script doesn't appear to be working. It appears as a tab on monobook. I can click on it, and the "remove" bar appears across the bottom of the screen, but there's no "remove" link at the section header. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and have also tried whitelisting Wikipedia on all my adblocking software. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 22:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Came here to say I have the same problem. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:00, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
