mediawiki.cookie

edit

You should probably go back through all the replacements you made recently, it looks like you made a lot of errors. For one, mw.cookie by default applies a prefix to all cookies while jquery.cookie does not, leading to whatever was saved in the cookies being "forgotten" due to the name change. For another, passing a number for expires to jquery.cookie sets the time in days, while for mw.cookie it sets the time in seconds, leading cookies to expire far sooner than intended. Also in spot checking I saw one case where you used mw.cookie.get rather than mw.cookie.set. Anomie 22:53, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I'll go through them. For the first issue, that's okay IMO. The prefix is how it should be and there is no expectation of persistence in cookies (browsers flush them all the time). For the rest, I check and fix them Ladsgroupoverleg 12:47, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
IMO it was annoying when my script suddenly reset to defaults after years of keeping the settings it stores in a cookie. People using scripts that set long-lived cookies likely do not expect browsers to randomly delete them. Anomie 13:17, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Years? Chrome actively doesn't have cookie max age more than 400 days [1] and firefox basically clears them every couple of weeks ([2] and [3]) Ladsgroupoverleg 13:21, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, years. None of your links seem relevant. Anomie 20:20, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

My scripts don't work any more

edit

Hi, you've edited my vector space recently. In the past week none of the maintenance script buttons have appeared at the right margin when I hit "edit". So my WP activity has stopped. I've reverted back to a bit over a week ago, but it still doesn't work.

I'm not technically minded.

I'm also contacting User_talk:Amorymeltzer, who has also been editing there, and User:Ohconfucius, who wrote most of the composite script. Tony (talk) 07:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Tony1 Hi, what you did is not going to fix your issue and if anything, it's going to make things worse. Maybe use mw:Help:Locating_broken_scripts to figure out what's broken? Ladsgroupoverleg 12:31, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

HI! I'm Nicholas and I'm an Italian user! I would like to ask you for information, if you can: I haven't been able to access my edicounter for a couple of days, and it refers me to this... is it under maintenance by any chance? I thank you in advance! Nicholas Gemini (talk) 16:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Nicholas Gemini Hi, I don't even remember why I'm mentioned there as a maintainer, I don't maintain that tool and have no idea how it works or how it can be fixed. You need to talk to Cyberpower. Sorry. Ladsgroupoverleg 12:48, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Ladsgroup I'm sorry for the trouble! Thanks anyway! Nicholas Gemini (talk) 15:22, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Redirect to a section without mention

Changing the target of Lensatic compas from "Compass#Modern compasses" to "Compass#Non-magnetic compasses" was a mistake in that the latter section makes no mention of "lensatic". ZFT (talk) 07:44, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@ZFT Thanks for the report. The bot does its best to "guess" the best section based on history of the article and similarity score. In really rare cases it's still might not be enough :/ Ladsgroupoverleg 01:06, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
