Bots Newsletter, March 2018

Bots Newsletter, March 2018

Greetings! Here is the 5th issue of the Bots Newsletter (formerly the BAG Newletter). You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from this list. Highlights for this newsletter include: ARBCOM Magioladitis 2 happened, leading to further restrictions on Magioladitis (decision, summary). Betacommand 3 was proposed to be amended to lift the indefinite ban on Δ, but was unsuccessful (decision). A motion concerning Crosswiki issues (mostly concerning Wikidata) was passed (see discussion). BAG Hersfold was removed from the BAG due to long term inactivity. BRFAs We currently have 6 open bot requests at Misplaced Pages:Bots/Requests for approval, and could use your help processing! Discussions While there were no large-scale bot-related discussion in the past few months, you can check WP:BOTN and WT:BOTPOL (and their corresponding archives) for smaller issues that came up. New things WP:BOTDICT, a dictionary of common bot-related terms (see discussion). 6 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion). The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey happened. Two bot-related proposal passed, #6 deploy Article Alerts to other languages and #10 Commons deletion notification bot, although other entries may affect bots as well. Category:Misplaced Pages bots and its subcategories has had some cleanup. Bot-related pages that were historically important but are no longer of interests can be found in Category:Misplaced Pages bots (historical) The edit summary limit has been increased to 1000 characters (see T6715). If a bot you operate relied on the old truncation limit (255 characters), please review/update your code, as overly long summaries can be disruptive/annoying. If you want to use extra characters to have more information in your edit summary, please do so intelligently. You will soon be able to ping users from the edit summary (see T188469). If you wish to use this feature in your bot, please do so intelligently. Upcoming HTML Tidy will be phased out in June 2018, or possibly earlier. This may affect some bots (see FAQ). Thank you! edited by: Headbomb 03:11, 3 March 2018 (UTC) (You can subscribe or unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding or removing your name from this list.)

Stefan-Boltzmann law

Stefan-Boltzmann-law: J* = s . T^4, with s = 5,67 x 10^-8 W/m^2 . K^4

So J* is in W/m^2 , NOT in Watt! Not so difficult to understand.

So the law of S-B. describes the radiated power per meters squared.

@Koitus~nlwiki: I agree it describes the power per unit area (rather than square meters). This is explained in the second sentence and does not need to be said twice. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Recent Did You Know? blurbs on WiR

I see that you have enterprisingly added this new section to the WiR mainpage. I certainly agree it would be useful to have something along these lines if it could be automatically and efficiently updated. At the moment, it is certainly not displaying the most recent. I add them manually every day and list them here. Perhaps you can use this listing to retrieve the hooks.--Ipigott (talk) 15:46, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

If they are both tagged by {{WIR}} and {{DYK}} on their talk page, they should get listed whenever JL-Bot runs (which is typically once a week). The issue with many of those is that they aren't tagged with a WIR template. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

MDPI

Why did you move the section on controversy back to the top of the MDPI page? I think it is pretty clear now MDPI is not a predatory publisher (any more so then all the academic publishers are trying to make a buck) so it at best belongs in the section below - which in terms of importance is not high other than for historical reasons. Also as you have clearly been editing for a lot longer than me - can you point me to how to easily import a table (see the talk page) Thanks Upoon7 (talk) 05:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Misplaced Pages, as you did at Frontiers Media, you may be blocked from editing. Randykitty (talk) 18:23, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Requested indef protection at RFPP btw. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:23, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Please look before reverting

{{Citation}} does both CS1 and CS2

{{Cite news}} does press releases as well. It has a special parameter.

I'd be grateful if you actually looked before reverting?

Discuss these changes to documentation before making them. That a template supports something does not mean it is the recommendation for that something. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Supported parameters in fully protected templates are not recommended? Don't make me laugh. Those parameters would not make their way into fully protected templates without prior consensus. But if you have any evidence that they are not recommended, show me.
