Editing without logging in or an autoconfirmed account requires you to use the IP SubpageBecause of vandals and illegitimate users posting messages to my talkpage, my talkpage has been protected and redirects you to post your message on the IP subpage. If you are a legitimate IP user attempting to contact me, my apologies, and I will be as prompt as I can in responding to your messages. -- Amanda (she/her)

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

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

Tech News: 2024-44

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Misplaced Pages.
View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Misplaced Pages, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Misplaced Pages.

Updates for technical contributors

Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want.
Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier.

WP:UAA/Bot again

Hi Amanda, It looks like the bot has stopped updating the page could you take a look? Thanks Nobody (talk) 08:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@1AmNobody24: Thanks for letting me know. Sorry I got busy during the week. An addition to the blacklist shut it down.

@TTWIDEE and Ahecht: Please do not throw unicode into the script. It's regex dependent even for the comments. Please also make sure that you see a successful report after your changes are implemented or watch my talkpage to know to revert. We are now mass dumping a weeks worth of reports on UAA for admins to handle. -- Amanda (she/her) 19:16, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@AmandaNP Sorry about that, and thanks for the tips. When I had looked at the bot code I had though that the colons were being used to split off the other flags before they were treated as a regex, but I guess I read it incorrectly. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:40, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@AmandaNP Looking at the code a bit more, I think it was the semicolon that was messing it up since as the code treated that as the start of a new line. However, it's easier to just leave special characters out of the text rather than experiment further. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:44, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I doubt it's the colon, because the code uses it as a splitter and then it would crash on every other line. I debugged it live and those three lines is the one it stopped on and crashed in a regex search. With it changed, it's fully running now. That said, I did not read that deep into it. -- Amanda (she/her) 21:51, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
