Article Improvement

Hello, Recently been working on Henry Shi. I am not sure if the awards within this article should have Super.com's awards as 'recognitions'. Can you help me with this or propose any imporvements if possible.Thank you. Thewsbguy (talk) 21:15, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello Thewsbguy

If the award is recognised by the organisation itself and or by other organisations, then it would suffice. Llamalawyer77 (talk) 08:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy holidays!

New pages patrol January 2025 Backlog drive

January 2025 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.

Question from Rnza45 on User:Rnza45 (19:45, 23 December 2024)

Hi, what are the steps to getting the page published? Do you know about how long it could take? Thank you --Rnza45 (talk) 19:45, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Rnza45, I'd recommend reading Help:Your first article first before getting into the specifics :) – Isochrone (talk) 19:50, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

TY! Rnza45 (talk) 19:55, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm trying to add wikitags but it's saying my page is not found. When I go back to edit, I don't see where I can add them. Do you know where I can do that? Rnza45 (talk) 20:06, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@Rnza45 What do you mean by "wikitags"? – Isochrone (talk) 20:11, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Under publishing suggestions, it says to possibly speed up the process to add wikiproject tags. I added Biography, Arts, and Asian American, but it's saying "user not found" or "draft page not found" Rnza45 (talk) 20:12, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

They can always be added afterwards, and the nature of how you have submitted your draft makes it difficult to add them. I wouldn't worry about them for now. – Isochrone (talk) 20:15, 23 December 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.
