Proposed deletion of Quarry-faced stone

The article Quarry-faced stone has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

article with only one sentence and one source. No evidence of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thepharoah17 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

The tool BaGLAMa 2 is not showing data since December 2022

This tool shows monthly view counts for pages containing images from selected Commons categories.

For some reason, since December 2022 there is no data at all.

Please, i will be vary glad if you can fix it.

Many Thanks @Magnus Manske Guy gel (talk) 11:21, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Increasing duplicity components for enWS

HI MM. A couple of things.

1) I am trying to fix up categories at enWS and I have come up with my petscan query petscan:23754561 producing my categories without items, however, when I hit the "check wikidata" link the output list can be very long, and there is NOT the ability to do a search with category: name (which I believe is a WD issue)

Example https://wikidata-todo.toolforge.org/duplicity.php?wiki=enwikisource&norand=1&page=Category%3ATypography gives that long list, and the only means I have to narrow down is to tap on each result as searching for "Category:Typography" gives no results, and Category:Typography (Q6501972) is no. 181 on the produced list.

2) How does enWS get itself set up to better utilise Duplicity as has been done for the WPs? All the outputs that I have generated have all been via Petscan, nothing native to the app. Or is that the ideal way to go?

Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:20, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

ISIN (toolforge)

I can't find it on Bitbucket, so I'm asking here.
isin.toolforge.org
1. Could you add the https://www.gpw.pl/spolka?isin=?
2. Could you update the address list? Most of them probably doesn't work, judging by the "en" section - I didn't check the rest (de, ja):
ISIN Network - doesn't work, requires registration to search ([1])
Morningstar Financials - service down (or just full?; https://www.morningstar.com/search?query= seems to work, but it looks like it's not free)
NYSE: New York Stock Exchange - doesn't seem to work (service moved or removed?)
Yahoo Finance - url doesn't use ISIN, the on site JavaScript search converts it to another value
CDSL India - ww1 is dead, looks like paid service
National Securities Depository Limited - doesn't seem to work (service moved or removed?) MarMi wiki (talk) 22:04, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Baglama2( toolforge)

Hi @Magnus Manske! I tried to contact you via reports on Bitbucket but couldn't find the option for a ticket. I am Alice Fontana, a researcher at the University of Turin and Wikimedia Italia member.

I am writing to you because BAGLAMA2 tool crashed in January 2023 , and more importantly I would need to change the depth of a category, is there a way to do that?

Thanks for your attention! Alice --Fontanalice (talk) 13:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Toolforge Tabernacle Review

Hi Magnus, we're doing a review to make sure as many tools meet a minimum standard. I noticed toolforge tabernacle doesn't have a published repo. Could you add this information to this tool? Thanks! SSapaty (WMF) (talk) 21:19, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

@SSapaty (WMF): Unfortunately Magnus is not very active these days, but most of his tools have their source code published on BitBucket. There’s also a tabernacle repo there, I assume that’s what you’re searching for. Could you maybe verify this and add the link to the Toolsadmin metadata? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:58, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes. Thanks!

I will add this info to the toolinfo.

There are other tools that need more than this(eg. description, license etc).

I will report them here as and when we review them. SSapaty (WMF) (talk) 01:50, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

New tool that uses PagePile and (later) GULP

Hi, I'm working on a tool that will use PagePile, and later GULP to fetch information (mainly statistics) about listed pages. I'm reaching out because I thought you a) might want to know about it, and b) might have tips or suggestions on how to use PagePile and GULP, and their APIs effectively. The requirements for this new tool are on mediawiki. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or comments. Thanks! KBach-WMF (talk) 12:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

not able to report issue on BitBucket

When I'd finally found the place where glamtools issues are being tracked, I was unable to report a bug because an account needs to be approved to do that first? I wanted to report that this GLAMorous result shows links to wikisource are not correctly formatted. 1Veertje (talk) 11:21, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

I had to turn off anonymous issue creation on BitBucket because of spam. Your issue should be fixed now. --Magnus Manske (talk) 08:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

SourceMD no "run" option

Good day @Magnus Manske,

I need your help/advice- I prescribed the old SourceMD tool for my students to add publications to Wikidata but some of them are not able to access the "Run" option when it comes to generating an entry. What could be the matter? How can I help them overcome this?

Thanks in advance

The lists of missing articles: List of articles every Wikipedia should have

Guten tag, Magnus. I am writing regarding the lists of missing articles that your bot (ListeriaBot) compiles and updates. I wonder if you can compile a list of missing articles from this list for Lithuanian Wikipedia. I have created a partial list (manually) but it would be great if I could see the full list.

Pagepiles are not working

Hi, I hope you are doing well. The Page pile tool is currently experiencing an issue. Previously, I used it without any problems to extract the number of views for a group of articles using the mass views tool. However, today the tool is no longer functioning properly. Whenever I try to log in to the site, I'm greeted with a 502 bad gateway message. I would like to inquire about the expected timeframe for resolving this problem. Additionally, I'm wondering if there is an alternative method available to measure the number of views for a set of articles within a specific time period. Thanks Mohammad Hijjawi (talk) 07:43, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Geograph2commons broken; adoption?

Geograph2commons has been broken for over two years. This is causing people to waste time trying to use it. Would you be willing to add a note to the tool to indicate that it no longer works? If not, I hereby propose to adopt geograph2commons under the Toolforge Abandoned Tool policy so I can do it myself. Under that policy I must post this notice on your home wiki (which according to Special:CentralAuth/Magnus Manske is English Wikipedia), on Wikitech, and by email, and you can prevent adoption by objecting within 14 days. --bjh21 (talk) 17:35, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Adding category to BaGLAMa doesn't "stick"

Hello Magnus! I was using BaGLAMa to look at some stats for the category named "Files from Flickr's 'The Commons'" (link to category on Wikimedia Commons). I went back to the page to look at the stats again and the category was not showing on the list and when I went to re-add it, I got the error message "This category already exists, nothing was changed. Please check the list." I'm wondering if maybe there is an issue with the quotation marks in the category name and if you have a suggestion for getting this category added so we can keep track of Flickr Commons item stats and pull out some useful data. Thanks for any ideas you might have. Jessamyn (my talk page) 18:18, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Petscan – wie Creator-Templates von Commons nutzen?

Hallo Magnus, ich würde gerne in commons:Category:Photographs_by_Arthur_Renard alle Dateien finden, die Creator:Arthur Renard nicht enthalten. Kann PetScan dahingehend auf den Creator-Namensraum zugreifen? Danke und Grüße, --Polarlys (talk) 11:42, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

@Polarlys: Du kannst den Link nach-Parameter benutzen, denn c:Creator:Arthur Renard verlinkt sich (Bleistift-Icon). Gäbe es keinen Link (nur die Enbindung), würde es nicht funktionieren; der Vorlagen-Parameter sucht immer im Vorlagennamensraum: https://github.com/magnusmanske/petscan_rs/issues/142. – Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:52, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

504 Error at The Distributed Game

Hello! I know this is not the right place to reach out about this, but I wanted to try since I've already placed the issue in Bitbucket and tried to contact Kaldari unsuccessfully.

I'm Nat, I'm a Wikidata and Open Data Fellow at Wikimedistas de Uruguay. I'm currently developing a game on top of The Distributed Game for the Latinoamerica in Wikidata Contest. The contest starts on the 14th of November and I'd need to test my API before that. I wouldn't bother you with this if I hadn't a deadline ahead of me.

I hope you can take a look at the issue or give me some steps to follow so I can find support. Please let me know if I can help solve this in any way. Thanks so much Piracalamina (talk) 23:16, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Vandalism on your ISIN tool

Hi Magnus, as I noted about a year ago, the template page for your ISIN tool (User:Magnus Manske/ISIN), which forms part of Template:ISIN and, by extension, Template:Infobox company, is frequently vandalized. I realize that you check here only infrequently and my message was likely archived before you could see it. If you read this find the time to do so, please move the ISIN page to a better-fit location (such as Template:ISIN/links, where it can be template-protected) and change the respective link in your tool. Kind regards, IceWelder [✉] 10:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) I think the simplest solution is to permanently semi protect the mentioned page. I went ahead and did so just now. A small protection template was added. If that breaks the tool, feel free to delete the protection template. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Good call, thanks! I believe I tried RPP the last time around but my request was rejected because it was in userspace. Maybe you also have an idea for what to do with the talk page? It was repeatedly created by IPs posting gibberish, such that I recently just replaced it with a WP Companies tag, so there are likely better ways to handle this. IceWelder [✉] 07:51, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Edits to the talk page don't break the tool, protecting talk pages is unusual and a higher bar, and there's only one edit of vandalism to the talk page. With that combination of things, I think I'll leave the talk page unprotected for now. Hope that's OK. –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:44, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I think I had it deleted at least once in the past. It doesn't need protection, but I'm unsure if anything should even be there. Should a userpage have WP tags? Should it just be blank? Should it be re-deleted (and salted)? IceWelder [✉] 10:56, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

It's rare for a user talk page to have WikiProject tags, but sure, can do so if the tags make sense. Blanking and deleting are also reasonable options. All options seem about equal to me, so I'd suggest just leaving as is here. –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Pull request on Listeriabot

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:28, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
