Misplaced Pages

Latest revision as of 05:06, 25 December 2024

Time to finally touch some grass. May be back someday. You can consider my projects "unmaintained"; I would be happy to help anyone looking to take on maintenance of any of them.In particular, Legoktm and 0xDeadbeef are the two other maintainers of apersonbot on Toolforge and should thus be your first point of contact for any of those projects.Keep in touch! Messages are warmly appreciated, whether via email, Discord (where my username is doctor_worm), or IRC. What's next? Probably a lot more FRC. Thank you all so much for the many good memories over the years. <3Stay cool, Enterprisey (talk!) 03:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

What's Enterprisey working on? (As of 23:14, 1 January 2022 (UTC)) (edit) Ah, arbcom. Also other stuff; was looking at the responder rfc recently, but the edit request overhaul ("making editing easier 2021") is probably bigger-impact. Older stuff I'll get to at some point At some point: Finish bot task for this Bots are all busted Half the tools are busted (check in on pending-subs, perm-archive, cat-track, etc) easy-brfa afd stats User_talk:Enterprisey/Archive_8#Adminscore User talk:/Archive 8#AFCHS §~~.projects Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Inline Templates/Archive 4#Semi-automation of tagging Misplaced Pages:Making editing easier 2021 Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Responder role Misplaced Pages:Workflow improvements Citation Bot and all the other reference-filling bots... the area seems like it needs a little help

cv-revdel

Hey, the revdel script is not allowing me to select diffs. This is happening across all articles. I have tried to bypass my cache. I have also tried Safari and Chrome and see no applicable errors in console. I have also turned all of my other scripts off to test for interactions. 19:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Snowycats, is this still happening for you? Enterprisey (talk!) 22:57, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Enterprisey, Yup. Snowycats (talk) 18:18, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

@Snowycats, what exact steps do you take and what happens when you do them? Enterprisey (talk!) 07:50, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Filter Pending AfC Submissions for untagged ones

Hi! Could you add a filter for Pending AfC Submissions to only show untagged ones (no WikiProjects), so one would have easier time going through the list specifically for tagging them for other to find later. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 09:19, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Hellknowz, I think your idea is good, but I'm a bit worried (rationally or not :p) about cluttering up the interface. Would User:SD0001/draft-sort-burst possibly work as an alternative? Let me know if you still want this to be added, and I might make a toollabs:yabbr mode for this or something. (Or just add the checkbox.) Enterprisey (talk!) 21:11, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Oh cool, I didn't know burst-sort script existed. I tried it and it looks good. Unfortunately, it lacks the features of bigger scripts like Rater, such as task force tagging or special parameters like "living" for bios. Talk page is also not necessarily empty for untagged drafts. In short, I would prefer to use a different script for tagging. But it's totally on point otherwise. May be a link to the script could be added at the bottom?

Anyway, my own reasoning for having a checkbox in the main list is that I can't find topics by name that I am interested in and know enough about to review after I ran out of tagged pages for relevant projects. The time it takes to find an AfC I can review is almost more than reviewing itself. I can see when something is yet another bio or village in India and skip it. But I can also guess that "Space Cadet 3000" is likely a video game. Random tagging isn't really appealing to me and often I have no idea what project(s) something belongs to.

I think the UI can easily support more checkboxes and such. Editors who review AfCs are not new to Misplaced Pages. I imagine people using Labs tools for this are used to software tools. Given the number of AfCs, I think any filtering to accommodate more specific reviewing is good. Even if it's hidden by default behind a foldout or something.

On a relevant note, I am planning to add AfCs to article alerts, and properly-tagged banners is a requirement to have the pages reported. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 09:03, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

"properly-tagged banners" here meaning "drafts properly tagged by banners" Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:20, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Alright, should be updated with the new checkbox next time the update script runs, which will be at about 10:20 UTC. Enterprisey (talk!) 09:39, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Hellknowz: small hiccup, but now we're in business! Check it out. Enterprisey (talk!) 11:09, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

So I wasn't crazy then, there was an issue with the checkboxes earlier. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:11, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Looks great! Now if only the detection was always correct :) A bunch of pages listed as untagged actually have project banners. For example, Draft talk:Agritask, Draft talk:UFC Now, Draft talk:Corey Arnold, Draft talk:Musa Arfakiana, etc. I couldn't find any pattern of why they aren't detected when I was looking through the list before. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:52, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Hellknowz, the tool uses User:Enterprisey/ibx-wproj-map.js as the way to determine which banners and infoboxes are owned by which projects, so if a project isn't in there the tool won't know about it. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:04, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Why not just look for which templates are on the page, and follow any directs, and see if the string WikiProject appears in them? Wouldn't work for the non-standard ones like {{maths rating}}, but it would work for >99% of the rest. Your list could then be a backup/failsafe for the cornercases. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:06, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

I know of five WikiProject banners that don't have the word WikiProject in their template names: {{Alphabet Task Force}}; {{Maths banner}}; {{Misplaced Pages Help Project}}; {{Women's Classical Committee}}; and {{WP1.0}} - there may be others. Whatever their publically-facing name, most WikiProject banners have {{WPBannerMeta}} as the second (or third, if it's a wrapper like {{WikiProject Mississippi}}) layer inward - I know of four that don't, these are listed at Template:WPBannerMeta/Conversion. Note that the maths people have two distinct banners, one for articles only and one for everything else. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:55, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Query re Articles you contributed to have been nominated for Did You Know

Hi, re this edit - why were Whispyhistory (talk · contribs) and Philafrenzy (talk · contribs) not also informed? They were informed about other DYKs in the same bot run (Philafrenzy, Whispyhistory), and Template:Did you know nominations/Challacombe scale names both of them before myself. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:47, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Will investigate. Off the top of my head, if the bot thinks their talk pages already link to the article or nomination page, or if they were notified in the past, no notification will be sent. (Probably doesn't apply here, though.) Enterprisey (talk!) 23:06, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

RM Stats tool broken?

It seems like when I try to do any lookup at https://tools.wmflabs.org/rm-stats/ I get a 500 error (or sometimes a blank 200 response, then a 500 on subsequent refreshes). I poked around the logs at /data/project/rm-stats but didn't see any obvious explanation - actually I didn't see any log entries since May 2019, which is weird. Anyways, just thought I'd let you know.

Also, I noticed your tool because I was looking for my own tool (https://tools.wmflabs.org/rmstats/) in a directory, and realized I had accidentally semi-plagiarized another tool's name. If that's a problem for you, let me know, and I can look into renaming my tool to something that's less likely to get confused with yours. Colin M (talk) 17:39, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Summary of AFC Helper Script things

• Allow for WikiProject tagging without doing a full review to help with WP:AALERTS when submissions go live and a reviewer doesn't feel qualified, but still wants to help in some way.
• Automatic reload fails
• Cleaning should add |small= (e.g. )
• Deal with WikiProject banners (e.g. )
• Deal with duplicated categories / Make sure the categories are below the default sort (e.g. )
• Invite people to Wikiprojects upon successful submissions
• Cleanup more stuff, maybe making use of some of WP:JWB, when doing 'cleanup/accepting/whatever'

This should provide a decent worklist of what's been requested. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:14, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Ping? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:06, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

@Headbomb, it has been... an extremely long time (sorry), but the AfC helper script seems to be in the more than capable hands of @Novem Linguae and friends, so I would recommend reaching out to them and/or filing tickets in GitHub directly. Enterprisey (talk!) 16:53, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, good idea to file github tickets. Any volunteer developer that gets a burst of energy to write patches will probably get their ideas from the list of tickets on github. Hope this helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:33, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

About WP:DEFCON tagging

Heya Enterprisey! I've looked more into IFTTT's "New edit with hashtag" feature, and I'm under the impression that it looks for literal hashtags in the edit summary, as https://hashtags.wmflabs.org/ looks for edits with hashtags in the edit summary, and as WP:HASHTAG explains. It'd be a great help if you could add hashtags, like #DEFCON1, to Enterprisey's edit summary on WP:DEFCON, so I could make a notification using IFTTT. Thanks for taking time out of your day to help someone, and possibly several others out! andritolion (talk) 16:16, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

AFD stats

​ Right now the AFD stats page for me outputs "The remaining 133 pages had no discernible vote by this user." but does not indicate which pages those are. Could a list of pages be added which were processed but for which the bot said "nope, don't see anything cool here"? And/or a list of specific edits made in each. Could be a "see this other page for additional details" kind of thing, kind of like how xtools works. --Izno (talk) 18:43, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

I'd second this. It would be a nice feature to have. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 22:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Izno: You might want to try my fork of AFDstats at https://afdstats2.toolforge.org/afdstats.py?name=Izno. It detects votes in a few extra situations that the main version doesn't, but more importantly it will show "undetermined" votes in the list (these tended to be mostly "Move" votes in my case) and there is a "Show pages without detected votes" link to show all the AfD pages where no vote was detected. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 18:33, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

@Ahecht: I get a 502 bad gateway with that link. Windows 10, Chrome 78.0.3904.97. --Izno (talk) 18:40, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

@Izno: Try it again now. Looks like toolforge was rebooting. --Ahecht (TALK

Ahecht, lol, your recent URL change alerted me to this section. Mind if I copy/paste the code to the main afdstats? Enterprisey (talk!) 06:14, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Yet another backlog burninator

This tool is malfunctioning. In these diffs, it removed important information and edited parts of the articles, it wasn't supposed to. . Masum Reza 00:45, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Add a few WikiProjects to AFCH field

Would you add a few active WikiProjects to the choices available in the AFCH acceptance field where reviewers add projects? Namely:

• American Open Wheel Racing
• Anime and manga
• Classical music
• Cryptocurrency
• Human–Computer Interaction
• Newspapers
• Translation studies
• Women writers

Thanks. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:32, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

This should really be dynamically supporting every non-redirect Template:WikiProject ... banner, possibly excluding those from Category:Inactive WikiProjects. If a dynamic listing can't be had, then from a daily/weekly/monthly-updated list. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:07, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

+1 to some sort of automatic update. Maintaining this manually, while praiseworthy, is sub-optimal. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:45, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Done. And automatic updates do sound pretty good. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Welcome bot

Hello, Enterprisey! :)

I'm an admin at the Albanian Misplaced Pages and I tend to look after the technical side of the project. Recently I've been trying to find how to make a welcoming bot but instead I found many pages of past discussions about how that idea is kind of despised in the EnWiki community. I've read most of them and I know how the Welcoming Community here does the job better than bots and I really value you for that. Unfortunately we don't have that many of active users in our community and the advantages of having a welcoming bot far outweigh the disadvantages of it. We'd like a bot to be able to use the WikiLove extension to give out the welcoming template from it on new users' pages. As I mentioned early, we're a small community and I didn't have anyone to ask for advice on my homewiki about it so i tried asking at the EnWiki. I saw your username at the Bot Approvals Group and thought I'd give it a try. Can you help me with this situation? I should mention that I've never created or helped create a bot before so I'm not very informed on the subject but I'm willing to do what I can to help. - Klein Muçi (talk) 22:55, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion https://tools.wmflabs.org/afdstats

Hey,

For https://tools.wmflabs.org/afdstats

I suggest that it use, or at least report, the current state of the article. Is the article currently: Deleted; Redirected; Live? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:37, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Ticket was made

There is a ticket for your Meta:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Citations/Dealing with unsourced additions - "citation needed" button suggestion, created by Huggle user User:Petrb who also had a interesting suggestion. I've added the Phab ticket to the "results" table. Thanks again for the suggestion. HLHJ (talk) 05:17, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks and a simple suggestion

Hi there. I thought I'd stop by and thank you for your useful scripts. It's hard to remember how I ever managed without things like User:Enterprisey/script-installer, User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel or User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink, so thanks for putting all that hard. While I'm at it, a simple suggestion. Much like User:Enterprisey/sync-template-sandbox, how about a script that merges the sandbox back into the main after testing is finished? I find that I do that quite often when responding to {{edit template-protected}}. Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 09:25, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Muhandes, good idea! I'm wondering what sort of confirmation you'd want for this - I know that I certainly wouldn't want to accidentally overwrite a highly-used template this way. Maybe just the usual popup "confirm" box? Enterprisey (talk!) 16:13, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, that should be enough. --Muhandes (talk) 20:51, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

AFD Stats

I've been going through and trying to clear up the UNDETERMINED lines from my AfD stats, and I have a couple of suggestions for afdstats.py that would've cleared up most of them (and undoubtably also clear up many more discussions I wasn't involved in):

• Change lines 325 and 364 from "speedy delete" to "speedy delet" to correctly parse the phrase "speedy deletion"
• Change the regex in line 348 to "The result (?:of the debate )?was(?:.*?\n?.*?)(?:'{3}?)(.*?)(?:'{3}?)" (or something like that, regexes aren't my strong point) to catch the many pages where there is a carriage return before the bolded decision.

Possible issue with AFCH script

When I used AFCH to review Draft:Canary Connect Inc., it seems that the review notification went to DESiegel, who just helped the new editor submit the article by subst'ing the template, rather than the author of the draft. (). Is it possible the script could be improved so that the notification goes to the author, rather than just someone helping them submit to AfC? Seraphimblade 21:43, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

About the AfD stats tool

Also ping User:Σ. I used (awesome, thanks), but there is one element I find problematic. I often nominate things for deletion, but I am totally fine with merge outcome. Yet the tool treats 'merge' just as 'keep', they are both colored red (for a deletion proposal). From my perspective, this is incorrect. Sometimes nominators, including myself, will even say that merge is one of the alternatives to consider in our nominations. The point is that the current stats suggest that for example AfDs I nominated closed as merge are 'failures' just as those closed as keeps. I'd argue that they should be considered successes, green, or at the very least get their own color and should not be counted together with other groups. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:46, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Pet Scan and Cat-a-lot

Just to follow up from our brief discussion a couple of weeks ago in Boston, regarding interaction between Pet Scan and Cat-a-lot, or rather the lack thereof (in case you're interested in tinkering with it). The problem I'm having can be seen here. I just created the Wikiquote category for Guggenheim Fellows, and Pet Scan will tell me that there are 580 English Misplaced Pages articles in the same category, which also have corresponding Wikiquote articles. Problem is, to reconcile them, I've got to manually open all 580 Wikiquote articles and add Category:Guggenheim Fellows.

All told, there is probably easily upward of a million edits that need to be performed to reconcile the categorization of the English Misplaced Pages and the English Wikiquote, which obviously is just impossible to do manually. But if I could use Cat-a-lot, and just highlight all 580 articles in the Pet Scan output, and add categories with semi-automation, it could be done fairly easily. Been asking around for about a year now, and AFAIK, there is no current way to do this. GMG 16:43, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Poached!

Hey, Enterprisey. I was going over your dashboard and decided to poach one of your script ideas. You can cross this one off the list:

• A user script so that whenever you click on a "hist" link in a user contribs page, the resulting page history highlights all contributions by that user (also has form on history page to perform such highlighting)

Hope you don't mind. If you're interested, here's the source. Also I suck at names. Regards, GUYWAN ( t · c ) 21:17, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

AFCRHS.js (2)

Hello. When creating the talk pages for created redirects in non-article space, the script does not create the talk page as the script only appends "Talk:" before the requested title (e.g. this would mean "Talk:Template:" which is a bad title). Could you change the JavaScript to handle creating talk pages for non-article space redirects? Thanks for the great tool, Dreamy Jazz 🎷 20:06, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

AfD stats

Hi there! Looking at my own AfD stats I notice some recent AfDs in which I voted aren't being picked up, e.g.

• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Augur (software)
• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Khabzela

Is there something odd about these AfDs (or my vote) which stops them being included? Alexbrn (talk) 10:19, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

EnterpriseyBot 10

I think there's an issue with this task. There are redirects that I tagged with {{R from related topic}} in 2017 whose talk pages are still marked as stubs, e.g., Green syndicalism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Let me know what I can do to help? (Last discussion, for reference) czar 08:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Enterprisey, should I bring this task back to the bot requests board? Between this thread and the last one, it appears that this has been running with issues for a very long time. I just received a flurry of manual edits correcting some of the instances that were waiting for bot edits. If you don't have time to look into/maintain this task, please just let me know so I can find another way to address it. czar 15:04, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

As a side note, I have found that this is too big a task for Python (or, at least, I'm not good enough at handling lots of data in Python). So, I'll be rewriting the bot in Rust shortly, after which it should be back to running regularly. Enterprisey (talk!) 08:26, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Lol, look at the excuses people have for switching to Rust these days! SD0001 (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

A fellow can only get so many TypeErrors before he snaps and rewrites 2500 lines of Python in Rust :)

I have rewritten the task in Rust, and it seems to be running fine on toolforge (using approximately infinity times less memory!). I'll have it do a few articles daily, and then ramp it up later. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:54, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Czar, the bot has been running for the past couple of days and everything looks fine. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Also, how should the bot behave when a project's banner isn't configured to auto-assess? Right now, I've been manually reverting the bot's edits. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:10, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Nice—looking forward to it ramping up! For context on that last question, is the idea that the task finds redirects and strips the WikiProject banner class as a courtesy but some banners are not equipped to auto-assess? In those cases, I've traditionally considered it better to have no class param than to leave "stub" or whatever was left behind (since the article is no longer a stub but a redirect). But most often those are cases of the WikiProject not handling the "Redirect" class in their banner, not that it has auto-assess off altogether. If indeed it's a matter of specific banners not supporting auto-assessment, I imagine the most complete way to handle is to hard-code "Redirect" as the banner class param, but that strikes me as overkill when simply removing the param is sufficient. czar 03:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Any WikiProject banner that is built around {{WPBannerMeta}} (and there are only four that are not) will, if |class= is blank or absent, auto-assess the talk page of a redirect as Redirect-Class; and if the banner concerned isn't set up for that, will instead use NA-Class. The autodetection is built into {{Class mask}}, as is the conversion to NA where applicable.

Of the four WikiProject banners that aren't built around {{WPBannerMeta}}, only {{WikiProject U.S. Roads}} will behave like a "normal" WikiProject banner (because it also uses {{class mask}}); the other three don't autodetect, and only treat the page as Redirect-Class if fed an explicit |class=redirect, not the shorter forms |class=redir or |class=red that other banners allow.

In summary: for {{WikiProject Anime and manga}}, {{Maths rating}} and {{WikiProject Military history}} (and redirects to those three), set |class=redirect; for any other banner, leave |class= blank or omit it entirely. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:31, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Redrose64, thank you for the information! What about {{WikiProject Ships}}, which doesn't autoassess despite using WPBannerMeta? Are there any other WPBannerMeta banners that won't auto-assess in this way? Enterprisey (talk!) 20:51, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Ooof, I missed that one. Ships uses WPBannerMeta but, for some reason, bypasses the standard {{class mask}} template by using a very non-standard custom class mask, {{WikiProject Ships/class}}, which unlike other custom class masks (such as {{WikiProject Trains/class}}), is not built as a wrapper for {{class mask}}. So {{WikiProject Ships}} will require an explicit |class=red, |class=redir or |class=redirect. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:26, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

@Redrose64, reading Template:WPBannerMeta/Conversion, it looks like Maths rating and Anime and manga were converted, so that just leaves Milhist? Enterprisey (talk!) 07:53, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes, just Milhist and {{WikiProject U.S. Roads}} now. I doubt that there'll be movement any year soon on either of them. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:26, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

• How often should this bot be cycling through tagged redirects? Would once a month (or more often) be reasonable? I'm still monitoring redirects tagged in 2017 as {{R to list entry}} that have not been scanned by the bot. czar 17:45, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

  As another example, here's a categorized redirect from several years ago that the bot hasn't processed yet. Do you know why it isn't finding these? czar 00:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

• Hi @Enterprisey, do you know why some redirects from 2017 would still be unprocessed by this bot task? For instance Pacifism as Pathology was redirected in March 2017 with a {{R from related topic}} template and was still classified as "stub" until I processed it today. czar 01:07, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Bot Question

Hi Enterprisey,

I saw your name listed at WP:BAG as being open to answering queries about bots.

I just made this edit to the carnitine article. The prefixes L- and d- are used as part of chemical naming for enantiomers of amino acids, sugars, and various other compounds. The convention in naming is that they appear as small caps rather than as full size letters, sometimes also in parentheses (ie as (l-proline or d-proline for the amino acid proline). We similarly have the convention of italicising E, Z, R, and S in names like (E)-stilbene or (Z)-Stilbene or for names like (R)-thalidomide and (S)-thalidomide in the thalidomide article. There are also name fragments like fac, mer, cis, and trans that are italicised when stand alone. The letters don't necessarily stand alone – for example, meso-tartaric acid is (2R,3S)-tartaric acid or (2R,3S)-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid.

My questions (as a chemist who knows almost nothing about how to program a bot, although who did do programming 20+ years ago):

1. Would it be possible and practical for a bot to go through article space and change all the L- and D- to {{sm|l}}- and {{sm|d}}- without changing the cases where it is not part of a name (like this mistaken change that I made to a file name), while handling names like acetyl-L-carnitine becoming acetyl-l-carnitine, recognising that a wikilink like ] becomes ], recognising the change in case for the start of a sentence (L-proline ... should be l-Proline ...) and while changing names in references byt not producing the reference errors that I just did?
2. Is there a bot that already does this sort of thing, to your knowledge?
3. If it is practicable, could it be extended to other naming corrections like the ones mentioned above?
4. Is there another editor who I would be advised to ask / speak with?

I can give a list of examples (in cooperation with the Chemistry and / or Chemicals WikiProjects) if that would help, but I thought a general question was best first.

Thanks for your time!

AfDStats doesn't count my votes

Hi, Enterprisey, I am WikiAviator. Today, I've voted for numerous AfD discussions such as . However, it didn't show up on AfD Stats. I checked the AfD pages and found no problem with spelling and all votes are bolded (i.e. Redirect and Delete) and refreshed the page several times. After about an hour, I force-stopped my browser and loaded the AfDStats webpage again. Nothing worked and only my old votes were shown. May I know what is the problem and would you kindly resolve it or give me some suggestions? This AfD Stats function is very important to me as an indicator of my understanding to deletion guidelines and to let me assess when should I apply for New Page Reviewer and Articles for Creation.

Hey Enterprisey,

On non-English wikis it is populating non-English version of site name (for eg. Per ] on arwiki). Because of this link breaks.

Hey again, sorry for not checking carefully. It now get everything in English but sequence is not right. For eg.

Per ] (simple) => Per request on enwiki (simple)

but it should be

Now sequence is right but having wikipedia in the link makes it not work correctly, only w works.

CustomSummaryPresets as a gadget

Hi Enterprisey,

I am trying to port your script to tr.wiki as a gadget (due credit to be added), but there is a small issue I would very much like to overcome. What I am trying to do is to add two separate gadgets, one for the actual script and one for a default list of preset summaries, which the user will be able to disable and use their own custom summaries instead on their own common.js file. The issue is, the summary dropdown does show up but without the summaries, unless you add them to your own common.js file. I was wondering if you could suggest a way of solving this.

Links-in-logs script design

Hey Enterprisey,

I hope you're doing well. First, I wanted to say that I love your Links-in-logs user script. It is curious to me that MediaWiki includes built-in permalinks to revisions of pages, but not to specific log entries. When trying to link to a specific log entry, and with Special:Redirect relying on the log ID, it makes it extremely difficult to try and ascertain what the log ID of a specific log action is. Your script does this beautifully and glitch-free. I daresay this might easily be your best user script.

That being said, I'm wondering if you might tweak the functionality a little bit to the way in which it handles the link address cross-wiki and, in particular, on other wikis which often have the Wikimedia projects linked in Special:Interwiki. For example, on the Miraheze wikis, looking at Special:Log for Public Test Wiki, I have the script installed in my global.js file calling your script located on English Misplaced Pages using the mw.loader.load function. However, when I click on the log entry link with your script installed, it appears as this URL (directly pasted from "copy link address"). I realize I could export and import your script locally there, but I'm trying to avoid that as this makes it simpler for when you push through any updates. I think the issue is with the script calling both wgServer and wgScriptPath when it's called cross-wiki and/or globally. It seems like there should be a fairly easy fix for this and, with only 27 transclusions of this script, little worry of breaking things for (too many) users. Alternatively, if you wanted to fork this script as a sandbox version, I could test it on other wikis and English Misplaced Pages and let you know.

Cheers,
Dmehus (talk) 19:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Dmehus, thanks for letting me know about this issue. I'm not immediately sure what change I need to make to the script - should I be using only one of those two variables, or should I be doing an additional check for the script being called cross-wiki? A sandbox version would probably help. Enterprisey (talk!) 07:13, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Enterprisey, Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I initially thought it might be a problem with both those variables being called for and if the solution might be to remove one of them. I know very little, or next to no, JavaScript, so am just going from what I know about HTML/CSS and very basic PHP, so will have to defer to your expertise and judgment. However, while my programming experience is quite limited, I have experience testing and troubleshooting. I have since tried a couple things, to rule out whether it was an issue with my CSS/JS file. First, I noticed my externally loaded scripts included the https:// protocol prefix, but I have seen other users' externally loaded scripts, and a MediaWiki help documentation somewhere, use only // as the prefix, so I first made that change. Second, having recently confirmed five of my user scripts worked in my global.js file on the Miraheze wiki farm, I wanted to test whether it was a local issue on Miraheze, so I migrated those user scripts that I had confirmed were error-free cross-wiki to my global.js file on Meta Wiki (Wikimedia). No problems there, and the logs-in-links worked across Wikimedia.

I'm not sure what you had in mind after checking if the script is being called for cross-wiki, so can't really comment there, but seeing as it seems to work globally on Wikimedia, I tend to think it's a problem with (one of) those variables (I'm much less confident that it is a local Miraheze configuration issue, since I do have those English Misplaced Pages user scripts being called remotely using the same method). I think an additional check to determine if the script is being called for on a server other than Wikimedia or Misplaced Pages couldn't hurt. What would be interesting is to try testing this on the Beta Cluster servers, maybe, since that uses a different domain? That way, we could determine if an additional check is required (i.e., if the user is on Wikimedia's production servers and/or beta servers returns as true, then it could use the normal scripting; otherwise, an alternative would be used). Feel free to setup a sandbox version and {{ping}} me with the location to try it out. Dmehus (talk) 09:21, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Imported my Meta Wiki (Wikimedia) global.js file to my Meta Wiki (Beta Cluster) global.js file, and confirmed the same error as on Miraheze's wiki farm. Since there's no problem with both those variables on the production Wikimedia servers, there's probably no harm in leaving that code as is, but it seems to be a problem with the server name being called for twice, essentially, by (one of) those server configuration variables and by the full path name in the user's script file. So, perhaps a check if it's being called for by a non-Wikimedia production server is best, and then it's a matter of taking out one of those variables. My "hunch" says take out wgServer, but again, with my limited JavaScript knowledge, that's really all it is, though it does seem logical. Dmehus (talk) 09:41, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

@Enterprisey: I'm just following up with you to see if you had a chance to test my hypothesis yet on the problem of your links-in-logs user script not working on the Beta Cluster and non-Wikimedia wikis. Look forward to hearing from you when you get a chance. Dmehus (talk) 01:19, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

User:Enterprisey/AFCRHS

Hello, can you add a possibility to add other WikiProject banners to the talk pages besides the AFC banners and mark them as redirect? Just a suggestion, of course you don't have to do that. --TheImaCow (talk) 18:32, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Most WikiProject banners don't need an explicit |class=redirect, it's autodetected as either Redirect-Class (if the banner allows that) or NA-Class (if it doesn't). There are only a small number of WikiProject banners that won't autodetect a redir correctly (or at all):

• {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} needs an explicit |class=redirect
• {{Maths rating}} needs an explicit |class=redirect
• {{WikiProject Military history}} needs either |class=red or |class=redirect - note that |class=redir doesn't work
• {{WikiProject Ships}} needs either |class=red, |class=redir or |class=redirect
• {{WikiProject U.S. Roads}} needs either |class=redir or |class=redirect. This one will autodetect, and also recognises |class=red, but for those two situations it gets the importance wrong (as well as a a few other things) so it's best to use an explicit |class=redirect for this one too.

I recently fixed {{WikiProject Aviation}} so that it autodetects - it already allowed the three variations on |class=redirect. At this stage I don't know of any others with non-standard behaviour. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

unblock-review.js doesn't work well with autoblocks

When User:Enterprisey/unblock-review.js is used on an {{unblock-auto}} request, it doesn't work well. See Special:Diff/973555329 for an example. Three problems are apparent:

1. It used {{unblock reviewed}} instead of {{unblock-auto reviewed}}
2. It showed the blocking admin's name as the request reason, and threw away the rest of the original information
3. It caused the page to end up in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls (cleaning out this category is what led me to notice this problem)

Hi Enterprisey. I installed the script in my vector.js but its not working. When I click online/busy/sleep it just redirects me to my status page, where I have to edit it manually. Please help... ❯❯❯   S A H A 07:45, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

@ArnabSaha, probably fixed. Enterprisey (talk!) 04:00, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Enterprisey. I have a question along similar lines. I'm concerned that manually editing my status page (TBD) will artificially boost my edit count. Does your .js or another user's .js status changer alter the status directly in a way that doesn't get recorded as a user edit, as far as my account is concerned?

I would also like to share some ideas. Rather than having online, offline, and sleeping cluttering the top row, to instead just have a Status link to the user's /status subpage. There on the subpage, they can have a table of individual buttons for all of the status options available between <noinclude> tags. Clicking a button will update their status to the button they clicked, preferably without recording it as a user edit... but if they have to edit the page anyway, they might as well have the status table transcluded without it being detectable by {{UserStatus}} or {{UserStatusShort}}.

Finally, have I read correctly that a user can manually change their status directly from the template, or the prefix to the status? What I mean is, it might be fun to allure to A Charlie Brown Christmas using something like {{UserStatusShort|name=REAL}}, and the User:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/status page being IN. 
— CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 03:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@CJDOS, you would need to make a new account and run the script from there to make the edits show up on that account. For making the buttons only show up on your status page, you can write if(mw.config.get("wgPageName") === "the_title_of_your_status_page_with_underscores") in front of the line that mentions StatusChanger.js. And from the template documentation, it seems that you may set the demo parameter, like {{UserStatusShort|demo=sleeping}}, to change your status directly from the template, if I understand the question correctly. Enterprisey (talk!) 04:04, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

An alternative account, cross-linked and labeled for the purpose per WP:ALTACCN. The alternative account taking the edit count from changing the status of my primary account. That's not a bad idea; I might just do that. Thank you for the suggestion, Enterprisey. How does it work regarding signing in? Would I have to sign into each account separately, i.e. if I wanted to edit using my primary account and have the status show that I'm online, would I also have to manually sign into my alternative account as well to edit my primary account's status? I suppose I could do it without signing in an alternative account, but IP addresses may be shared, and I'd rather not edit with an IP address. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 08:09, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes, you would have to sign in to the alternative account. You could also look into setting up a script that runs on your computer, so you wouldn't have to keep signing in. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:13, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

If I've understood you correctly about my previous 3rd question, {{UserStatusShort|demo=REAL&nbsp;IN}} →  REAL IN. I don't know if the demo= parameter exists for {{UserStatus}}, or the name= parameter exists for {{UserStatusShort}}. I mean, I assume that the demo= parameter will default to File:Symbol neutral vote.svg and gray text when given a status it's not setup for. This is why I was asking about the name= parameter of Template:UserStatus (misattributed to UserStatusShort). I will develop my own template, so I can use File:Face-smile-christmas.svg instead of File:Medic template.svg for the "REAL IN" status icon. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 18:22, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey! I was looking at https://apersonbot.toolforge.org/pending-subs/ as you recently posted the link over at AfC and thought it would be good to make sure all/most submissions had projects tagged.

AfD stats and redirects

Forgive me if we discussed this before - but https://afdstats.toolforge.org/ still lists 'redirect' verdict in 'green' as kept. I think this is wrong - redirects should be counted as deletion. On the other hand, 'merge' is counted as 'deletion', despite being more inclusive. I'd suggest counting 'merge' with 'no consensus' or in its own, separate section. PS. I see #About the AfD stats tool to which you never replied? :( _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:10, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

cv-revdel causing issues on new Vector

Hey! It seems like cv-revdel is causing some visual issues on new Vector - there's an extra "search" button and a lot of the padding is broken, causing the search bar to move up. I've confimed that this occurs on Firefox and Chrome, and have attached an example screenshot. Thanks! Remagoxer 18:45, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Update: seems to be caused by this line - disabling the declaration removes the extra search button and fixes the padding issues. Remagoxer 20:20, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

WP:PRESERVE example

Hi Enterprisey! Following up from our WCNA discussion, this thread is a good example of how WP:PRESERVE isn't always followed. I'm increasingly coming around to the view that we ought to get rid of the PROD system entirely. I don't know when the last big discussion on PRODding was, but it might be time for another. Coupling the deprecation with some way to make it easier for obviously deletable articles to go through AfD might help with getting consensus.

(Sidenote: I like your time editnotice! Hope you don't mind if I copy it into a template so other users can take advantage. The only reason I won't be using it myself is that I don't want to start getting "why are you awake?!" messages haha) {{u|Sdkb}}  18:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Section link JS userscript

Hi. Thanks for the script. Would you consider updating the script with autoClose: true in the PopupWidget params? Also, the current version doesn't update the text-to-copy if a second popup is enabled and will still have the first text in the copy span. It's probably because it's var instead of let and is thus popup === null is only valid for the first popup. I've removed the entire if-else for popup and it seems to work fine. This also removes the need for var popup = null and you can put let popup = new OO.ui.PopupWidget. Here's my diffs: Special:Diff/1050085717 with autoClose set to true. — DaxServer (talk to me) 18:18, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

New vector script bug reports

Hi Enterprisey. I'm one of the heretics people who use the new vector skin and a big fan of your scripts; I noticed that two of them have incompatibilities with NV:

• It appears that User:Enterprisey/search-shortcuts.js doesn't work with the New Vector skin (presumably because of the new search bar)
• On high zoom levels (~140%), User:Enterprisey/superjump.js draws the leftmost part of the pop-up box "under" the left sidebar. My laptop has a pretty small screen though, so I suspect I'm one of very few people to ever run into this issue

I thought I'd drop a note here in case it's an easy fix (though the easiest one would probably be for me to just move back to old vector ). Best, --Blablubbs (talk) 11:29, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Question about User:EnterpriseyBot Task 10

Hello Enterprisey! I had a quick question about this bot, specifically related to task 10. It removes the class parameter for redirects, but it also leaves in the importance parameter. I was wondering if there was a particular reason for this decision or if it could be changed to remove both parameters. I have never seen a project that commonly assigns importance ratings to redirects and was curious if there was a reason for keeping them in. Thanks! Jay eyem (talk) 06:15, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

I believe the idea was that high-priority redirects may someday be un-redirect-ified. (I don't particularly have strong feelings on this topic.) See Misplaced Pages:Bot requests/Archive 73#Autoassess redirects. Enterprisey (talk!) 07:25, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

User:Enterprisey/afch-dev.js

Hi Enterprisey,
According to WP:MOSTIMPORTED, the afch-dev is being imported by 23 users. This may be partially responsible for errors like in Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Articles for creation#Acceptance Script Failures. Since this looks like a dev sandbox which you don't seem to be using anymore, I suggest replacing its contents with:

mw.loader.using().then(function() {
    if (!mw.user.options.get('gadget-afchelper')) {
        new mw.Api().saveOption('gadget-afchelper', 1);
    }
});

About script installer

Hello Enterprisey! I hope you are well and know that you are busy. But the matter seems serious. I exported and localized your script installer on Bengali Misplaced Pages. Now I have proposed to transfer it to gadget.

One Wikipedian commented that, the script installs with importScript, which is not smooth on mobile and desktop. While reading the script I saw case 0 using importscript and case 1/2 using mw.loader.load. Does it have a special cause or rationale? Or if I use Case 1 by default in the script, will there be a problem? Because, our template installs Case 1.

AfD Stats - weird username

Is there any way to use the AfD Stats tool with usernames that contain reserved characters - for example 7&6=thirteen ? HighKing 08:53, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @HighKing: Percent-encoding is your friend: https://afdstats2.toolforge.org/afdstats.py?name=7%266%3Dthirteen --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I had tried that. Weirdly while it can report the number of AfD's, the tool is not providing the stats, it reports to me as "No votes found". HighKing 18:17, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I suspect that the bot is able to work out which AfD pages link to a given user page, but is not able to identify the individual !votes. This may be because it is unable to parse the signature. Here's a sample: 7&6=thirteen (☎) - this contains the invalid attribute style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml" which should be two attributes, either style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em;" class=texhtml or style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em;" class="texhtml". Notice also the three instances of a character entity for the ampersand in 7&6=thirteen, this may also cause problems for the bot. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

API accessibility for AfD stats

Hi Enterprisey. I was wondering if your AFD stats has, or could have, an API that my bot could tap into of all the data collected.

I am thinking of writing a new script, and the information compiled there would be very useful for it. Please ping on reply. -- Amanda (she/her) 15:22, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Adding rcatshell with AFCR Script

Hello! Hope you are well this holiday season. I am just inquiring to see if it would be possible/easy to include the rcatshell template when adding redirect categories with the AFCR script (so they don't look like this). It's a small thing, but it would be quite helpful when accepting redirects.

Commenting out Redirect-Class

Commenting out Redirect class in {{WikiProject U.S. Roads}} has the side effect of adding NA-Class importance ratings. That banner template is designed to always have article assessments explicitly stated, so removing them by bot breaks things a bit. Imzadi 1979 → 12:37, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

On this revision, the banner doesn't know that it's a redirect, so it flags the page as needed a KML file, needing a map, etc. and reverts to NA-Class for importance, but when the class assessment is explicitly noted, as in this revision, the banner correctly handles everything. Imzadi 1979 → 12:41, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@Imzadi1979 I see, thanks. Is there a way the banner template could be changed for automatic classification? Above and at Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/class#Classification of redirects, I get the impression that the automatic classification should be happening. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

It appears that the template doc at Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/class#Classification of redirects is out of synch with how the template actually behaves. Most WikiProject banners do indeed do that, but there are two banners which recognise Redirect-Class but still do not autodetect, this is one and Milhist is the other. This is primarily because they are the only two WikiProject banners that have not yet been converted to use {{WPBannerMeta}}. There is a proposal to alter U.S. Roads to use WPBannerMeta, and it's been sandboxed, but as yet there is no consensus to alter it. If approved, autodetection will then occur. The conversion proposal has been around for more than thirteen years, see for instance Template talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Archive 1#photo parameter proposal, Template talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Archive 1#WPBannerMeta?, and Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Archive 25#Banner testing. Notifying MSGJ and Imzadi1979, not sure who else would be appropriate. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 09:29, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

@Enterprisey, Redrose64: If |class=redirect is not specified on a redirect, as on this revision, it will detect the redirect and apply Redirect-Class, as I already noted above.

The trouble is that the banner is built to track compliance with various project standards in articles. To that end, on an article, we need to note a value for |needs-map= and |needs-jctint=. There is also |needs-KML=, but that is optional because the banner can check to see if the KML file exists at the correct name based on thee article title.

Files, redirects, dabs and the like don't need these items, so when |class=redirect is specified, the banner bypasses the requirement for it. If you look at the referenced revision produced when the bot removed the class assessment, now the banner has "This article has been identified as having the following issues:", and the collapsed section says that it doesn't know the article eras a hard-coded junction list, that it doesn't know if the article has a map, and that the article has is missing a KML. The banner also defaults to NA-importance.

When I reinstated the explicit assessment in this revision, the unneeded importance and the article issues disappear.

There are similar issues related to importance with {{WikiProject Highways}}, so this isn't related to {{WPBannerMeta}}, but rather in how banners expect to be used. Imzadi 1979 → 22:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Most WikiProject banners simply have

 |importance={{{importance|}}}

as a pass-through parameter to WPBannerMeta. Highways instead has the non-standard code

 |importance={{#switch:{{lc:{{{class|}}}}}
  |na|template|redirect|project|portal|fm|file|category|disambig={{{importance|NA}}}
  |#default={{{importance|Mid}}}
  }}

which will force any page where the |class= param is either blank or omitted, and the |importance= param is entirely omitted, to be treated as Mid-Importance. I don't think that's a desirable default. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 00:06, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

I agree with Redrose. Hmm. @Imzadi1979, could we use Module:Redirect#IsRedirect to set needs-map and needs-jctint to "no", and importance to NA, for redirects? Enterprisey (talk!) 06:38, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Ordering the matrix rows and columns as SK, K, M, U, NC, T, R, D, SD, instead of the current random-like order, would make perfectly conforming performance appear on the diagonal, and it will be visually more clear when a voter's tallies are far off (off-diagonal). Merge is closer to Keep because it agrees there is some material worth keeping somewhere, and similarly for Userfy/Draftify. No consensus is properly in the middle. Redirect is closer to Delete as it asserts there's nothing worth merging. T for Transwiki is rare but is useful to keep as an option to remind us of the possibility, but I put it to the right of middle because it conveys the material is inappropriate for wikipedia, unlike M and U."

Reordering display from SK to SD that way would be a good improvement, methinks.

--Doncram (talk,contribs) 09:41, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't necessarily disagree with your idea, it would be interesting to see how a reordered matrix changes the visualization. Although, I'm not sure if your proposed change would make as much of a difference as you think. As long as the vertical axis and the horizontal axis list the options in the same order, then you'll see the diagonal light up green for any user whose votes tend to match the eventual consensus. To get that diagonal effect, it doesn't really matter what order things are in as long as they're in the same order vertically and horizontally. However, ordering things in the way that you suggested (essentially on a continuous spectrum from keep to delete) might allow the user to understand deviations from the diagonal more easily. For instance, if an editor tends to be more of an inclusionist, then their matrix might show the green diagonal on the "keep" side of the spectrum, but then gradually veer off the diagonal as you get closer to the delete side. Either way, I haven't touched the original code for this tool in probably a decade, and I don't even know where it's hosted these days, so I probably can't be much help. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 22:17, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Minor thing with afdstats.toolforge.org

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 23

New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Misplaced Pages Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

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

Featured script

RefRenamer by Nardog is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, the foundation will only give us better reference names in VisualEditor if we wish for it in the next survey. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than ":0" and ":418".

Updated scripts

• Nardog: MoveHistory can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
• User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
• User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
• User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
• Misplaced Pages:AutoEd/unicodehex.js will no longer replace legacy MediaWiki dot-entities (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.

Improve a script

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

• ...a mark-as-read button for Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to User:TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js to make it work

Requested scripts

• A WP:3O requesting and responding tool, similar to Terasil's classic edit request tool
• A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
• A review tool for WP:proposed deletions
• Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in WP:RFP/A
• ...and many more, all available at Misplaced Pages:User scripts/Requests

New scripts

• Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
• Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
• User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Misplaced Pages. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
• Chlod:
  • Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Misplaced Pages:Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
    • Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor and supports more templates than {{copied}} ones.
    • Infringement Assistant allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems noticeboard.
• User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
• Enterprisey
  • diff-permalink-2 allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink
  • archiver is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
  • /parent-cats highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories.
• User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet adds an access key shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by Nardog and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh.
• User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay loads a bunch of fonts to add correct rendering supports for "esoteric" languages.
• User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped will make piped links irresistible (or else).
• User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js adds an WP:AutoEd function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! Configure away!
• Frequently link to Misplaced Pages on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
• User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
• Nardog
  • /CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <code>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
  • /RCMuter: Hide specific users, perhaps User:MediaWiki message delivery, from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
  • /VitalTopicon makes you see the vital article topicon on WP:vital articles.
• m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
• Novem Linguae
  • DraftCleaner fixes formatting of new articles.
  • GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
  • ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
  • SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
• User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
• User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically.
• Still hate Vector 2022's floating TOC? User:Phlsph7/UnfoldedNumberedTOC(Vector2022) might make you give it a try.
• Quite a bit of pages at Special:WantedCategories either exist now or got removed. User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/hideUnwantedCategories automatically hides those.
• User:SuperHamster's Misplaced Pages:Tools/View it! generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing Structured Data on Commons. Images can then be added as needed.
• Terasail
  • ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
  • /HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons.
• ...and any more, all available at WP:US/L.

Due to budget and procrastination limitations, we've only had time to review the first ~39% of the scripts since last issue. Help us out here! Aaron Liu (talk) 13:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Lightning Talk for Misplaced Pages Day - PowerPoint?

@Enterprisey, thanks for organizing the "Lightning Talks" for Misplaced Pages day. I just put in a talk to share my experiences (good and bad) with using LLMs to summarize RS for Misplaced Pages content. While on the page, I noticed that Eventbrite tickets are required. When I went to get one, I was waitlisted. I sent a note to the organizer explaining that when I "signed up" back in December, I didn't realize I also needed an Eventbrite ticket. I also explained that I will be giving a lightning talk. Hopefully, that will get me to the top of the waitlist.

In the event I do get in, should I bring a PowerPoint showing some examples? How should I send it to you?

If I don't get in, I would still be happy to give my talk remotely through Zoom.

Thanks. Nowa (talk) 13:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

@Nowa, I will raise your waitlist question with the other organizers and I'll get back to you on that if there's any news. Regarding your presentation, you can upload a PDF of it to Wikimedia Commons and I can present it from there. Thank you for offering to do it through Zoom as well. I think that should be perfectly fine. Enterprisey (talk!) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Super. There were about 30 people already signed up when the Eventbrite link was added. It might not be a bad idea to ping them and see how many still need to sign up on Eventbrite and how much more room might be needed. Nowa (talk) 14:39, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

All set. I just uploaded the talk

AFD stats error?

Hi Enterprisey, I noticed that the AFD stats tool reports that Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Mehrdad Nikoonahad closed as "keep", but it actually was unambiguously "delete". I'm not sure if I'm reporting this to the right place, but saw a link at the bottom of the tool window. Netherzone (talk) 17:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

AFC Redirect helper error

Hi Enterprisey, when I was processing WP:AFCR, this weird page got created when a redirect was created Jetlag talk: The Game. I think it was from creating Jetlag: The Game, the talk page should have been at Talk:Jetlag: The Game. Anyways, It looks like an error to me. Thanks, v/r - Seawolf35 01:57, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Interface-protected edit request on 13 February 2024

This edit request to User:Enterprisey/AFCRHS.js has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

You mean change line 3 from

to

    if (mw.config.get("wgPageName").indexOf('Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_creation/Redirects') === -1 && mw.config.get("wgPageName").indexOf('Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_creation/Categories') === -1) {

That should be correct (and is quite straightforward). Setting the edit request to active again. I also tried the change in a .js sandbox, and it did enable this to work at both pages. (If the IPER reviewer sees a need for further testing, at least undo this edit so that it can again be used at /Redirects if not also at /Categories.) SilverLocust 💬 07:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 24

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Misplaced Pages Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

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

Featured script

Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Misplaced Pages page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

Newly maintained scripts

After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...

• Aaron Liu has created What redirects here from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; his fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.
• Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
• AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
• Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.

Improve a script

Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!

• 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...

• ...a mark-as-read button and 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

• A simple script to second or archive proposed deletions
• A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo
• A WP:3O response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
• A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters
• ...and many more, all available at Misplaced Pages:User scripts/Requests

New scripts

• DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filters.
• Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use m:Web2Cit (which WP:ProveIt also uses) instead of mw:Citoid to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
• Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!

• 

  Doǵu/Adiutor (pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.

• 

  Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
  • /afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
  • /ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
  • /redirect-helper (pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
  • /rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.

• 

  Guycn2/UserInfoPopup (pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
• Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
• Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
• Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.

• 

  NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest (pictured) generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
• PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
• Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD nominations.
• Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
• Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

Edit-listings

• Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
• Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
• Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
  • Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine actually works, pending a fix to T292764.
• NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

Appearance-ricing

• Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
• Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
• GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?

• 

  Jonesey/common (pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
  • Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
• Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
• Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
• For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
• Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
• Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing Tab ↹ toggle the visibility of the tiny links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
• The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

Permissions required!

• Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.

• 

  Dragoniez
  • /AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
  • /Selective Rollback (pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
• Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

QOL shortcuts

• BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
• DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Misplaced Pages:Usernames for administrator attention.
• DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
• ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions.
• Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
• FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
• Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another Clear button on top of the Lua module debug console.
• Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist next to the normal watchlist.
• Nardog
  • PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
  • Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE and fix them as much as possible.
• Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS.
• Suntooooth
  • /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
  • /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
• Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

AFC History Tool

Hello friend. Thanks for maintaining the AFC History tool. I submitted some pull requests tonight, and I have plans for more. If you like them, feel free to approve those 3 pull requests. Would be nice to base my future patches off those 3, so I think I'll pause here until those are approved. No need to deploy yet though, we can do that later. Thanks. I hope you are well! –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Doing well, thank you! I'll do one better - I've added you as a collaborator on the repo and as a maintainer on apersonbot. Let me know if there's more I need to do. Enterprisey (talk!) 18:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Redirect Helper Script request

I'm no js expert, or even a js beginner, so I can't quite suggest an exact fix that I know would work, but I think its at line 887, I have a small QOL request, if you will. For each succesful page creation if the &redirect=no were added to the url, you would be able to visit the page that was created, as opposed to following it through to a different page.

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 25

Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:User scripts/Requests. Jeeputer and Nardog have been the most active on the page in the past five months.

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

• 

  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.

AFD stats not updating

Since roughly five days, multiple people have noticed that the AfD stats tool is not updating. It does update information about AfDs in which the user voted before this period, but newer AfDs are not shown. (A bit more detail at Sigma's talk page). — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 09:04, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Alien333, this is probably due to the current replag. Nothing to be done about it. — Qwerfjkltalk 09:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Script fix request

Today, three AFDs received exact duplicate notices (1; 2; 3) while using User:Enterprisey/delsort and they were duplicated at some delsort pages (1, 2, 3, 4). I'm aware Enterprisey is semi-retired, but any chance an experienced talk page watcher could help make sure the script doesn't duplicate delsort notices at XFDs nor XFDs at delsort pages? ミラP@Miraclepine 17:29, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

CustomSummaryPresets

Hello, I intended to use your script User:Enterprisey/CustomSummaryPresets, but was not successful. The script itself has been loaded, because the option field below the summary field was visible, but I could not select one of my predefined texts. I decided for the way with var customGeneralSummaries, cf. yourself: first trial, second trial. I noticed that you in your common.js use this method yourself. The script is not loaded from your Misplaced Pages space, though, but from your localhost. Is this version different? At least it seems to work for you. If so, could you update the script in Misplaced Pages, please? — Speravir – 23:15, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Who do we talk to about EnterpriseyBot being down?

Is it Legoktm and 0xDeadbeef? Is it Enterprisey? Is it someone else? I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 02:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@I dream of horses: I should be able to help. What specifically is down, is it the defcon updates? Legoktm (talk) 03:04, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Legoktm It hasn't edited at all in six days, so I'm guessing DEFCON, and also everything else. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 03:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Good news! The bot is back up! Courtesy ping to Legoktm I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 23:30, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 26

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Misplaced Pages Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

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

Featured script

Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.

Miscellaneous

• Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
• DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Misplaced Pages has a templaters' newsletter...

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 and PrimeHunter/Search sort work, yet have alien user interface design. Someone could improve them...
• BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.

Requested scripts

We need scripts that...

• allow you to edit {{sfn}} references graphically a la Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor
• copy specific named references from other pages to help with splitting and whatnot
• make adding icons/links to the top toolbar (or other portlets) much easier
• graphically generate a {{source assess table}}
• award a Four Award
• ...and many more, all available at Misplaced Pages:User scripts/Requests. Thanks to the editors at US/R—including Nardog, User:Novem Linguae, User:Jeeputer, and many more!—for their work in processing userscript requests this past year.

Updated scripts

• Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
• Pour one out: DreamRimmer/User not around forks Andrybak/Not around to allow configuration precise to a number of days (from the original precision of years).
• Red-tailed hawk/cv revdel forks Enterprisey/cv-revdel to automatically add CopyPatrol reports.
• Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.

Newly maintained scripts

• Administrators only! Novem Linguae/UnblockReview forks the now-broken Enterprisey/unblock-review to review unblock requests with a graphical interface.

New scripts

• 1AmNobody24: Find Link provides a shortcut to its namesake tool, Edward/Find link, which helps de-WP:ORPHAN articles.

• 

  Andrybak: Contribs ranger (pictured) generates links to a limited range of user contributions, log items, or page history. You see, it's not just contribs!
• CanonNi/VoteVisualizer is a rewrite of Pythoncoder/voteSymbols that makes everything saner to configure.
• When viewing Category:Articles missing coordinates with coordinates on Wikidata, Jeeputer/coordInserter adds links to automatically insert coordinates into the article selected.
• To satiate archaeology and curiosity (the same thing, perhaps?), JJPMaster/AfC time logger logs the time it takes for a user to review each submission to Misplaced Pages:Articles for creation.
• Natdog/InsertAnyChar adds a searchable list of all Unicode characters to the 2010 source editor.
