| == Bots == | |||
| <div class="mw-content-ltr"> | |||
| You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on '''30 June 2015'''. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the ], then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break. | |||
| What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is ''not'' affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working. | |||
| This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015. | |||
| If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code! | |||
| * The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary. | |||
| * Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly. | |||
| Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning. | |||
| Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the ] or ] mailing lists. Volunteers at ] or ] or ] may also be able to help you. | |||
| Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script. ] (]) 19:03, 17 June 2015 (UTC) | |||

| == Tokens? == | |||
| Hey, remember that script you wrote for me, enabling me to patrol directly from the queue? The tokens expire a little too quickly - would it be at all possible to extend their lifespan? ] (]) 17:20, 22 June 2015 (UTC) | |||

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Water_supply_and_sanitation_by_country
Could we please also get a popular page listing for this project? Thanks in advance. EvM-Susana (talk) 07:39, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know if this is time consuming, but if not, could you please still get it done? Would be awesome.EvM-Susana (talk) 07:53, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Desktop only
Am I correct in saying that this lists are only desktop views?
And if that is the case can we add this fact to all the popular pages lists. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:33, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Request: increase the upper limit
I find this service valuable to the point that I've just now added it to {{Infobox WikiProject}}. Having said that, would you consider increasing the upper limit to 10,000 to support the giant projects like Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Biography (nearly 1.3 million articles) and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject United States (400,000 articles)? Thank you in advance. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 19:11, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
closeAFD.js
I went to close Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Tha Carter V as redirect but the redirect was already in place. So the script completely blanked Lil Wayne and redirected it to itself! Maybe have the script check if the redirect is already in place? Just letting you know! Thanks for the otherwise awesome script :) — MusikAnimal 16:47, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
