| :{{ping|1AmNobody24}} Thanks for letting me know. Sorry I got busy during the week. An addition to the blacklist shut it down. | |||
| :{{ping|TTWIDEE|Ahecht}} Please do not ] 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.

| ::@] 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. <span class="nowrap">--] (])</span> 21:40, 2 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::@] 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. <span class="nowrap">--] (])</span> 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. -- ] 21:51, 2 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::::You might also want to consider adding the task to ] so you get notified when the bot hasn't edited the page for a certain amount of time. ] (]) 12:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::::@] I haven't actually run it, but from my interpretation of the code it's crashing because it split the line at the semicolon, assumed everything after the semicolon was the regex at the beginning of a new line, and then choked on trying to parse that. It doesn't fail on every other line because the text after those semicolons is a valid regex. <span class="nowrap">--] (])</span> 15:20, 3 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::@] OK, sorry about that. Thanks for the info. I won't make edit requests to the blacklist with HTML entities in future. There's an editnotice for the blacklist that says "Do not add wikilinks to this list. The bot is very syntax sensitive.". Maybe we could change it to "Do not add wikilinks or HTML entities to this list. The bot is very syntax-sensitive.". I imagine they'll probably be lots more people who'll notice the dash issue in the notes and want to add proper dashes, so I think a notice like that would be very helpful. Maybe we could add a notice about it on the blacklist talk page as well. ] (]) 20:55, 3 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

 | 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) |

Happy First Edit Day!
 | Happy First Edit Day! Hi AmandaNP! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC) |  |
Tech News: 2024-46
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
- On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, users will notice that the FuzzyBot will now automatically create translated versions of categories used on translated pages.
- View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the submitted task to use the SecurePoll extension for English Misplaced Pages's special administrator election was resolved on time.
Updates for technical contributors
In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase functiongetAllStatementschanged to behave likegetBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable.- Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.
In depth
- Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work.
Meetings and events
- 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.
