Galobot Lint Inquiry edit

Hello, hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. Messaging you to see if there was any chance your "articles/pages by lint count" bot reports could ignore the new "night-mode-unaware-background-color" non-lint tracking "category" like you did (I assume) for the similar non-lint tracking annoyance category, "Large Tables"? Articles by lint has gotten a bit too fluffy with all top 1000 pages reporting a solid 22+ errors, when they actually only have at most, 2 missing end tags, or are any fresh catches of the day with other errors/more than 2 errors. Same with pages by lint count, but those were still a healthy 42+ errors, so those displaying here are still easy to know which need addressing. Thanks for considering, Zinnober9 (talk) 02:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I second this request. Thanks for taking it on if you have time. If you do not have time, can you please provide the SQL query that generates this report? – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
the queries are at https://github.com/mmiyer/galobot/blob/master/articlesbylintcount.py. I wonder if my report can be replaced with {{Database report}} so it can be easily updated by people as needed. Galobtter (talk) 22:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
oh yeah this can be definitely done by the row_template parameter of it, let me see if i can do this. Galobtter (talk) 22:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nice. That was my plan if I could get my hands on the query. That new template is a brilliant addition to reporting. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:15, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
yeah, I can never remember how to log in to toolforge to update my bot, so this saves me some hassle :) Galobtter (talk) 00:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Zinnober9 @Jonesey95 how's Wikipedia:Linter/reports/Articles by Lint Errors look like now? you can now edit the sql query right on the page so it should be pretty easy to exclude categories as needed - feel free to update the queries to your heart's desire :) Galobtter (talk) 00:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Beautiful, thank you so much! The only odd thing (and I was seeing this the other day as well but thought it might have been a hiccup related to the nightmode addition) is that I'm seeing is the Lint Links on Wikipedia:Linter/reports/Pages by Lint Errors are all going to nonexistant pages like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors?titlesearch=User_talk::Master_of_Puppets/Talk/Archive/Archive20&exactmatch=1
instead of:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LintErrors&wpNamespaceRestrictions=3&titlesearch=Master+of+Puppets%2FTalk%2FArchive%2FArchive20&exactmatch=1
The Lint links on Wikipedia:Linter/reports/Articles by Lint Errors are still all fine.
Zinnober9 (talk) 10:04, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yeah I saw the issue but wasn't sure how to fix it, should be fixed now. Galobtter (talk) 14:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Perfect, thank you so much! Zinnober9 (talk) 15:58, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
