Projectspace Redirect blanking

Hi Suffusion of Yellow, I just saw this thread and was actually surprised that this edit was not picked up by any filter. I was wondering if that can be changed. (I'm asking you directly instead of posting at WP:EF/R since you created 1151 (log)) Nobody (talk) 09:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, I created that three years ago, but my own notes say that without the throttle, there are so many FPs [the] log is hard to pick through. Not sure if this is worth the trouble for non-reader-facing material. If they do it a few times, then stop, that's not a big deal, just revert and warn. If they go on a "spree", the filter will stop them. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 18:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

I assumed there was something like that. My idea was that a log only filter like:
new_size < 100 &
equals_to_any(page_namespace, 4, 5, 12, 13) &
!("confirmed" in user_groups) &
(
(
redirect := "^#\s*redirect\s*\[\[";
removed_lines irlike redirect
)

) &
!(page_title irlike "sandbox|correct typos in one click|missing encyclopedic articles|fix common mistakes") &
!(user_name in removed_lines) &
!(summary irlike "^(?:undid|revert|rv)") &
page_first_contributor != user_name &
!oauth_consumer
could give me some hits to look at, but not sure if it's worth the trouble. Nobody (talk) 05:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Actually, the recent changes "filters" can do this. Try something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?userExpLevel=unregistered%3Bnewcomer&hidebots=1&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&hidelog=1&hidenewuserlog=1&namespace=4%3B5%3B14%3B15&tagfilter=mw-removed-redirect&limit=100&days=30&urlversion=2. On the one hand, except for a single MfD, every edit was reverted. On the other, only 36 edits in one month. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 18:24, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I did not know Recent changes was flexible enought to do this. I changed Category to Help Namespace in your link and it works just like a log filter. I'll keep my eyes on this and fix alse false positives for my code. But if I can fix all false positives then I'll probably request a disallow filter for this. Nobody (talk) 05:55, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm keeping the code at User:1AmNobody24/Projectspace Redirect blanking. If you have any improvements feel free to add them. Nobody (talk) 07:03, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Suffusion of Yellow, I need some help adding some improvements to this. If you have time could you see if the things here are possible to add? Thanks Nobody (talk) 15:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

iOS app

I noticed your edit here. I only use the app on an android phone but I'm invested in making sure the app is usable on both platforms. I'm pinging JTanner (WMF), who will hopefully be able to figure what's going on here. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 19:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm kind of burned out by the whole WP:THEYCANTHEARYOU thing and don't want to do a huge amount of testing. I don't even use these apps except to find out what other people are experiencing, and almost never use iOS. But for JTanner's benefit, I'm describing the behavior of a fresh install of app version 7.5.1 (3601) on an iPad Air 2, iOS version 15.8. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

FilterDebugger.js

Thank you so much for writing this. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite user scripts. Would you be open to changing the "debug" menu links to be capitalized? It would be the only lowercase item in my entire Tools menu. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done. I should test for more than five seconds in skins other than Monobook, apparently. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate you tweaking this. It looks like there's one more "debug" on Special:AbuseLog. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:03, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Whoops, done! Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 19:21, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Question

Why did you trigger edit filter? I trying to raise awareness for erradication of gender roles, forced erradication at that. 216.145.66.231 (talk) 02:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

This is about this attempted edit, I assume? Wikipedia aspires to the neutral point of view. If you think something is idiotic or evil, you're entitled to your opinion, but an encyclopedia article is not the place to share it. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:53, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry for using Wikipedia for it, I don't use social media. Wikipedia is like the only way I can spread awareness and make it go viral. Poe.com now says "I'm sorry, but I do not feel comfortable" when asking it many of the questions I could before. Reddit abandons me. 216.145.66.231 (talk) 14:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Some false positives on 1310

I was checking through 1310 's log and found some false positives after debugging some of its entries (Special:AbuseLog/38129537 [reverting vandalism by an IP address using Ultraviolet] and Special:AbuseLog/38111302 [doesn't appear to be a Trump felon meme but some kind of article expansion] for example). I would recommend adding \b boundaries on lines 3 and 4, and exclude reverts with this new code I suggested:

page_namespace == 0 &
!contains_any(user_groups, "extendedconfirmed", "sysop", "bot") & (
    felon := "\bfelon\b|\b34\b|convicted|guilty";
    added_lines irlike "\btrump\b" &
    added_lines irlike felon &
    !(removed_lines irlike felon) &
    !summary irlike "\b(revert|rv|undid|undo|restor)"
)

Alternatively, if the felon meme has died down significantly, you might want to consider disabling 1310. Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 23:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Yep. Good fixes, but I don't think a filter is needed anymore. Thanks. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:48, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 25

Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

inline-diff-inline-patrol by Ponor is this edition's featured script. By loading diffs inline on every page that shows a list of changes, it implements the 2023 community wish m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Inline diffs and inline patrol. Hopefully we won't need this script anymore soon, with the WMF's focus on the backlog...

Improve a script

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
• To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
• We want...

• ...watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Requested scripts

• Automatically delink all duplicate links within the same section per MOS:LINKONCE.
• Collapsible parentheses in body text, which had a ridiculously long original request title and was accidentally moved to WP:US/L by me. Oops!
• An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
• Preview an edit under the mobile viewport on desktop, with perhaps MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar.js used for inspiration.
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. Jeeputer and Nardog have been the most active on the page in the past five months.

Scripts++ Newsletter

Updated scripts

• After the ＲＩＩＪ(rewrite it in jQuery) update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
• Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!

Newly maintained scripts

• Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
• BilledMammal/Move+ expands the powers of User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser to include common procedures done with the art of moving pages.
• On a holiday? Somewhere? Gotta learn ye ABCs? CanonNi/StatusSetter puts the fun into Enterprisey/StatusChanger with a quadruple more statuses. That starts with a C!
• In our continuing trend(s?), DaxServer/DiscussionCloser forks DannyS712/DiscussionCloser to make it work. Sadly, this is the end of our lexicographic combo.
• Andrybak:
  • user-tabs-on-contribs is a fork of User:Enterprisey/user-tabs-on-contribs for Vector 2022.
  • Archiver is a fork of User:Enterprisey/archiver with automatic calculation of the destination archive subpage and with support for non-Vector skins.
• Quite coincidentally, Elli/OneClickArchiver has been forked from User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver to work with the mw:Heading HTML changes.
• FlightTime/OneClickArchiver forks the same thing but also no longer nonsensically prepends {{clear}} to page archives.
  • There are now over 7 OneClickArchivers, legacy or not.

New scripts

• 

  Padlock for semi−move protection−designed by User:Chaotic Enby

  Aaron Liu: MoveTop adds a different padlock topicon for each level of move-protection.
• Andrybak/Not around can help you mark talk pages of inactive users with {{not around}}.
• BrandonXLF/AddCopied automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{copied}}.
• Bugghost/UserRoleIndicator adds text labels (which default to emoji) to user links that label the user's usergroups. Wow, that's a mouthful
• CanonNi/AlertAssistant adds a Twinkle-style dialog for alerting users about contentious topics.
• CFA/AttributeTranslation automatically tags articles translated from other places with appropriate attribution.
• In the defense of the 'pedia, the humble Jeeputer/defconIndicator adds the WP:WIKIDEFCON status to the toolbar.
• Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
• Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
• fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
• TheTechie/Help Me Tool is a quick and easy way of responding to {{help me}} requests.
• Per MOS:CONFORM, ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter converts all citation titles to... title case, unfortunately.

FilterDebugger requests

Would it be possible to import recent changes from multiple users and IP addresses at the same time? Similarly, would it be possible to have a checkbox to also import deleted edits? Thanks for all of your hard work on these scripts. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:38, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Please take a look at this article...

Batch Test Plus config

Hey there! I'm a big fan of your AbuseFilter scripts, I use them on my home wiki :). I noticed the buttons "FP check" and "FN check" of Batch Test Plus are disabled by default outside of enwiki. As I understand, that's because "FP check" requires a random sample filter. I was wondering, though, why "FN check" is also disabled by default. Do you think it could be enabled, or is there a way I could override that config on my common.js without forking your script? Thank you! --Titore (talk) 22:55, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Special:AbuseFilter/1090

Hello, fyi, the filter doesn't seem to currently catch things like User :Example, so you might want to adapt the filter. (Another wiki decided to import the filter recently, and was wondering why it didn't catch certain (abusive) edits). 1234qwer1234qwer4 14:46, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: Discussion-only period now open for review

Hi there! The trial of the RfA discussion-only period passed at WP:RFA2024 has concluded, and after open discussion, the RfC is now considering whether to retain, modify, or discontinue it. You are invited to participate at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Discussion-only period. Cheers, and happy editing!

Came across a pattern of behavior, possible LTA?

I remember previously coming across editing where the person was adding specific age at time of death to multiple historical BIO articles, and adding specific order of office or occurrences to infoboxes. It seems so familiar but I can't quite pin down where I saw this before. I ran an Editor Interaction Utility on 2 editors and came up with a commonality of First Lady articles. But anyway, does this pattern of behavior ring any possible LTA filter bells for you? - Shearonink (talk) 19:21, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
