  Guideline and policy news

  • A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
  • A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect.
  • A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
  • There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

  Technical news

  • When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
  • When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
  • There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

Can this user be blocked?

Hello, sorry to bother you but can this user please be blocked for WP:NOTHERE as soon as possible? Thank you. --Ashleyyoursmile! 07:52, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

They have been blocked, sorry to bother you. Ashleyyoursmile! 07:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ashleyyoursmile: I'd recommend using WP:AIV, it's much better patrolled by active admins. Legoktm (talk) 17:59, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
My apologies. I report directly at the AIV all the time and had reported this user as well. But they were a rampaging vandal and had mass-created attack pages. Ashleyyoursmile! 18:03, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Toolforge library

Hello, I'm trying your toolforge library, however every time I try using it I get a ModuleNotFoundError, as if it did not exist.

I tried re-installing it and using another machine but nothing changed.

Does it have a different name, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?--ValeJappo (talk) 13:40, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

I tried installing libraries imported in __init__.py, and while downloading functools I got an error.
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/mnt/nfs/labstore-secondary-tools-project/tutor/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
        import functools
      File "/tmp/pip-build-gxxfd_o9/functools/functools.py", line 34
        raise TypeError, 'compose expects at least one argument'
                       ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-gxxfd_o9/functools/
Could this be the cause of the bug?--ValeJappo (talk) 14:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
No, it seems it is normal; it has been included in python's standard libraries so there is no need to install it; at this point I have no idea of why is this happening--ValeJappo (talk) 14:08, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
It could also be an issue also in the installing of chardet, which give me every time WARNING: Failed to write executable - trying to use .deleteme logic ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 2] Impossibile trovare il file specificato: 'c:\\python39\\Scripts\\chardetect.exe' -> 'c:\\python39\\Scripts\\chardetect.exe.deleteme'--ValeJappo (talk) 14:43, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi @ValeJappo, I took a look at the "tutor" tool on Toolforge and noticed that somehow pymysql 1.0.0 was installed, even though that version has been yanked. I believe this was because your virtualenv had an old version of pip, so I upgraded that for you (pip install -U pip). I then uninstalled and reinstalled pymysql and now toolforge seems to work properly:
tools.tutor@tools-sgebastion-08:~$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) tools.tutor@tools-sgebastion-08:~$ python
Python 3.5.3 (default, Nov 18 2020, 21:09:16) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import toolforge
>>> 
I'm not exactly sure what the issue is with chardet on Windows, what is the full output of installing it? Legoktm (talk) 18:39, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for fixing my tool's virtual env; not sure how, but I fixed it on my local machine. Now I have a question about your library, since I can't actually find a complete documentation. How do I connect to my tool's db? I am trying using conn = toolforge.connect('s54651__TUTOR') but it is wrong.--ValeJappo (talk) 08:52, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Use conn = toolforge.toolsdb('s54651__TUTOR'). I just updated the documentation on wikitech to include that. Legoktm (talk) 15:14, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
