News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2017).
I recently figured out how to reproduce a long-standing issue with the GA bot in which some editors (including myself) do not receive bot notifs about the review or review counts next to their signatures on WP:GAN. The bot needs to see a "User:" link in the nominator's signature. Currently, signatures with only "User_talk:" links will not receive notifs/counts. Edits like this appear to fix it. Would you be able to tweak the signature detection in the code so that it works with all signatures? (I think it's potentially line 259.) If you're unavailable, is there someone else who can help? czar 20:20, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
<?php
// Line 255
public function setNominator ( $nominator ) {
$nominator = trim($nominator);
if (!empty($nominator)) {
$this->nominator = $nominator;
preg_match("/\[\[User([ _]talk)?:(.+?)\|.+?\]\]/",$nominator,$m);
if (!empty($m2]))
$this->nominator_plain = trim(ucfirst(str_replace('_',' ',$m2])));
}
}

I notice that Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Archived debates/March 2017 ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is filled with duplicate logs of some similar cases. How do you fix it? -- George Ho ( talk) 18:35, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
