Planetshakers Wiki edit

Hello MahuCG, thanks for the suggestion to use sandbox. Sorry I am new to Wikipedia. In relation to the article I removed, the information presented was not valid and there is no supporting evidence for that to be true. What the best way to hide till the info can be validated. You might be able to help. Samuelkraj (talk) 21:33, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sorry if I messed up, Samuelkraj. I am also relatively new to Wikipedia, and I was just patrolling recent changes for vandalism. I would be happy to help out on the page. MahuCG (talk) 21:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply


No worries MahuCG. Nice to meet you BTW. I am in the process of cleaning up the Planetshakers wiki page. Going to undo your changes. So my changes be applied again. Samuelkraj (talk) 02:22, 16 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bots edit


You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.
