pageswap tag
editHey Ahecht. I really appreciate your pageswap script, and I like that it now includes a link back to the script. As I'm sure you've run into, there are occasionally some rather long move summaries in which the end gets cut off. E.g., this diff or this log entry for two recent technical requests.
To save on characters in move summaries, rather than using "(using pageswap GUI)", you could ask an admin to create a tag for the script via Special:Tags.
The only change you would need to make to the script to add the tag to all its edits is to replace the three instance in User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap-core.js of
watchlist: params.watch
with
watchlist: params.watch, tags: 'pageswap'
And a wikilink can be added to the tag via MediaWiki:Tag-pageswap – such as [[User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap|pageswap GUI]]

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
- If any admin is willing to create the tag, I'd be happy to add it to the pageswap code. --Ahecht (TALK

- @Dabao qian That's a great idea, and it was certainly on my to-do list until I looked deeper into those templates and realized just how much work would be involved in integrating them. "Collapsible groups" can already be replaced by using a child groups, swapping
|groupN=
for|N_title=
, swapping|groupstyle=
for|N_titlestyle=
, and swapping|abbrN=ABBREVIATION
forN_state = {{#ifeq:{{{selected|}}|ABBREVIATION|uncollapsed|{{{stateN|collapsed}}}}}
. For example, the first group in Template:Navbox_with_collapsible_groups#Basic_example could be replaced with a normal navbox that used |list1 = subgroup |1_title = [[University of Michigan#Academic profile|<span style="color:#00008B;">Academics</span>]] |1_titlestyle=background:#FFD700;color:#00008B; |1_state = {{#ifeq:{{{selected|}}|academics|uncollapsed|{{{state1|collapsed}}}}} |1_list1 = * [[University of Michigan College of Engineering|College of Engineering]] * [[University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts|College of Literature, Science and the Arts]] * [[Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy]] * [[University of Michigan Law School|Law School]] * [[University of Michigan Health System|Medical School]] * [[Ross School of Business]] * [[University of Michigan School of Education|School of Education]] * [[University of Michigan School of Information|School of Information]] * [[University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance|School of Music, Theatre & Dance]] * [[University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment|School of Natural Resources and Environment]] * [[University of Michigan School of Public Health|School of Public Health]] * [[Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning]]

|N_navbar=plain
to avoid the v/d/e link. For "Columns", how to distinguishlistN
orcolN
? In zh:Module:NavboxV2, we uselistN/colN
prefix and the-
notation (likelistx-listy
orcolx-coly
). But forchildN_/subgroupN_
prefix or only numeric prefix, it will be hard to distinguishlistN
orcolN
. Dabao qian (talk) 19:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)- @Dabao qian
|N_navbar=plain
is automatic when using theN_
notation so it isn't needed. Doing columns would require a more intensive re-write of the module than I have time for at the moment. --Ahecht (TALK

Something bad happened here
edit... [1] — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- @MSGJ Oops, thanks for the heads up. I'll have to take a look at the script. --Ahecht (TALK

PAGE) 15:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)- Thanks. How hard is it to write a script? I would like to have a go at writing one which would help clean out Category:Articles with conflicting quality ratings. There would be three actions to choose for each page ("Remove conflicting class", "Use conflicting class" or "Skip") — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @MSGJ It really depends on how much you're familiar with Javascript. Most of my script writing has been based on taking other people's logic and adding features, fixing bugs, or improving the UI (the draft sorter script was based on User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, my pageswap script was based on User:Andy M. Wang/pageswap, my templatesearch script was based on User:SiBr4/TemplateSearch.js, etc.), so my suggestion would be to find a script that's close enough to what you want to do and dry to decode it. For what you're doing, draftsorter would be a good place to start, but you could strip out all the code related to jquery.chosen and dealing with predictions . --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)- Thanks. I'm not familiar with Javascript at all, so it's probably going to take me a long time. But if I have a go, do you mind helping me? (Might not be for a while ...) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Use a colon instead of a period
editCould User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap-core.js please be updated so that when one of the common move reasons at the "Swap" form is selected, it will be followed by a colon instead of a period in the move log entries (like at Special:Redirect/logid/164530745, for example)? The behavior is currently inconsistent with the one at Special:MovePage, where a colon (not a period) would appear in the move log entries, e.g., at Special:Redirect/logid/164552365. GTrang (talk) 00:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- @GTrang I've implemented that in the sandbox version. Feel free to try it out. It will get copied over to the main script the next time I am making revisions. --Ahecht (TALK

mapframe directly so it doesn't count as Lua time
editThat looks like an interesting trick. May prevent so much use of cache purging to clean up pages as more than about 5 seconds usual Lua time use can break pages badly after an edit if the back end server infrastructure has problems. I will see how it works on a heavily edited page by vandals perhaps best after you have pointed me towards the #tag documentation and then roll out to the other pages that I know call big raw geojson templates ChaseKiwi (talk) 23:35, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Scripts/refresh
editHi :) I noticed that the script does not allow null editing in the links here of a category, would it be possible to enable that? --GryffindorD (talk) 20:08, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @GryffindorD I've modified the sandbox version at User:Ahecht/sandbox/Scripts/refresh.js so that it works from pages such as Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:X or Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:X to null edit linking pages instead of transcluding pages (for templates) or category members. Please try it out and let me know if it works as expected, and I'll copy it over to the main script. --Ahecht (TALK

ircredirect
editHi Ahecht, it looks like KiwiIRC.com is down (again, and again for a few days), so the redirector isn't working. I've opened a PR to use Libera Chat's own hosted instance which I think is a bit more stable for any connections to Libera Chat, though I would consider having some configurable target webchat instance a better option for the longer term. Please can you take a look when you get chance, and if you're happy merge it and deploy it to Toolforge? Thanks muchly :) stwalkerster (talk) 18:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
@Stwalkerster I'd want to get consensus on-wiki first. I'm not sure when/where the original decision to use kiwiirc was made, but I'll post something to Wikipedia talk:IRC help disclaimer. --Ahecht (TALK

Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates
editAdministrator Elections | Call for Candidates
The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.
Here is the schedule:
- October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
- October 22–24 - Discussion phase
- October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
Please note the following:
- The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
- Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
- The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
- The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
- Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.
Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.
To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.
