Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list
Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Misplaced Pages it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Misplaced Pages to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

closeAFD.js - relisting Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/History of America?
I relisted Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/History of America? and when pressing Reload page was brought to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/History of America. Could the question mark be triggering this? -- Sam Sailor 08:46, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
Future of Mr.Z-bot tasks
Hey Alex, it looks like you might have retired from Misplaced Pages. I was just wondering if you could chat about the tasks currently performed by Mr.Z-bot and whether or not you would be interested in handing those off to other maintainers, or just adding extra maintainers so that other people can help keep them up to date and add new features to them (like adding mobile stats to the popular page reports and Citoid support to the RefToolbar API). Let me know if you have any thoughts about this. Cheers! Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 00:06, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Not quite retired, just on an extended break. But some additional help with bots/tools would certainly be appreciated. Mr.Z-man 01:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Glad to hear you haven't retired! The Community Tech team is interested in possibly improving a couple of your tools (see T112569 and T114156). If we decided to pursue making these improvements, would you prefer that we fork your Github repos and make pull requests or would you rather add other people as contributors to the repos so that they could work on the code directly? Also, would you be interested in adding other people as co-maintainers for your Tool Labs projects? Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 21:58, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- Excellent :-) Would be exceedingly nice to have mobile without the numbers your tool produces. And for it to function in other languages. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:51, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- Adding people as contributors and co-maintaners would probably be easiest. Mr.Z-man 22:16, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- That's fine by me. If you'd like to go ahead and add me to any projects, my username on both GitHub and Tool Labs is Kaldari. You can add project maintainers on Tool Labs from http://tools.wmflabs.org/ and can add contributors on GitHub via . We can involve you as much or as little as you would like in discussing feature changes and bug fixes. Ideally, we would like to make your life easier and the tools better :) Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 01:05, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I've added you to the reftoolbar and popularpages projects on Tool Labs and Github, as well as the commonphp Github, which generates the HTML template for the web tools. Mr.Z-man 03:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Possible bug in RefToolbar preventing autofills from working
Hello, I have found what I think might be a bug in RefToolbar's code that prevents the autofill button from working unless there is at least one incremental field present in the form. Please see my description of the problem at Wikipedia_talk:RefToolbar#Autofill_not_initiating_in_absence_of_incrementables. Thank you --Blahma (talk) 12:07, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
User:Mr.Z-bot's working and other doubts
Hi! I understand that User:Mr.Z-bot compiles and updates various "popular pages" stats (eg. Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Retailing/Popular pages). Am not getting from where does the bot compile this information? Further I wanted to know how the page view states even works? Like does it count only external non-logged in readers or can editors also influence the page view count? Means for example if an article is under dispute for some reason it would automatically catch more editors and would this also increase the "popularity" ranking of that page?
I don't even know if you are right person to ask these things. If you are not, please direct me to someone else you think might answer. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 12:00, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Mathematics/Popular pages page
Thank you for maintaining the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Mathematics/Popular pages page, but then could you also add a fields Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/Fields collumn to the page. (also sortable so that can every now and then I can have a look at the most popular pages in a particular field of mathematics.
PS this is just a private opinion, there has not been a discussion in the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Mathematics that agrees or disagrees with my standpoint. so possibly later you will get a request to remove the field collumn again. If you prefer that we first discuss it, please let me know. but then is it possible how i would like it? WillemienH (talk) 18:10, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
