Hello, MusikAnimal. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Remember semi-protecting the page recently? Seems the IP-hopping sock has been keeping an eye on its protection. They made the exact same edit they've been making even before your bot removed the {{
pp-sock}}
template. I've undone it again and asked for indefinite semi at
WP:RPP, as the IP is quite adamant that these edits be made, even requesting them on the talk page while the article was semied. Would you mind taking care of my RPP request? —

Saturday December 3: Contemporary Chinese Art Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim | |
---|---|
On Saturday December 3, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fifth Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon—to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from Greater China. The event will cap off Wikipedia Asian Month, an online campaign dedicated to augmenting Asian content on Wikipedia throughout November. New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Editors are invited to view the exhibition Tales of Our Time following the event. The Guggenheim aims to raise awareness of the artists featured in the Tales of Our Time exhibition supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, and Art+Feminism.

Hi MusikAnimal! I'd like to use Massviews to search for pageviews for a specific URL, rather than a URL pattern, but I'm having some trouble making that work. When I search a specific URL (say http://bbc.co.uk/bach, which is linked to twice on the English Wikipedia), I get "no data found". Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! So I stumbled across a gem on github called
mediawiki-gateway that apepars to be yours. If it isn't I apologize and you can disregard the rest of this message. You are one of the few editors I have found who uses Ruby for their bots. I'm just getting started with bots and am looking for some assistance. There is one problem I am having at the moment that I'm wondering if you have previously found a solution to. I am working on a few bots to clean up deprecated parameters from inside of template occurrences. As such I need to restrict my gsub!
calls to just look at the code inside of a specific template. I haven't found a good way to do this yet. Is this something you have previously done? Would LOVE any assistance you are willing to give. :-) Thanks! --

scan
or match
and
regular expressions to do similar things (
example).
Rubular is an online tool that may help when building your regex (put variations of the template in the test string, and make sure your regex correctly acts on them). Ruby aside, there is a
Python library to parse wikitext that may be of help, if you are comfortable with that language.
AutoWikiBrowser might also have similar functionality, not sure. Hope this helps! —

get_revision_at_date
, get_page_props
, date utilities, etc. Much of this I should probably merge into the gem for use by others. I'll try to take care of that at some point.For your warning when logging, try using
Special:BotPasswords, I think that's what got rid of it for me. Either way it's just a warning and logging in should still work. Glad to see another Ruby bot out there! Cheers —

Zackmann08: Yeah... if you don't use bot passwords you should get a warning when logging in like Main-account login via action=login is deprecated
, so maybe that's not it. Anyway, I used the following code and get no warnings:
mw = MediaWiki::Gateway.new('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php') mw.login('MusikBot@MusikBot', 'bot password') mw.edit('User:MusikBot/sandbox', 'testing') mw.create('User:MusikBot/sandbox2', 'testing')
Note the gem does throw errors when it encounters API warnings (not just API errors). I'm not sure why you're getting API warnings, but you can disable the gem from erroring out with ignorewarnings: true
, like so:
mw = MediaWiki::Gateway.new('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php', ignorewarnings: true)
That will get you past your issue for now. Finally, I'm using mediawiki-gateway version 1.2.0, not 1.1.0. The only difference there however is I fixed it to actually handle edit conflicts (if you provide the right parameters to do so). The weird intoken warnings should have been fixed with this commit, which was the 1.1.0 release — MusikAnimal talk 21:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Patrols are perfectly possible without the New Page Reviewer right. At least that is what BU Rob13 has given he community to understand in his recent RFC. And as far as I know , that is correct.

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

Hi Musik, I'm interested in running a quarry report for certain inactive users. Think I keep timing out on quarry due to not having a handy "last seen" table to join. Any hints? Example output would be a list of (user names, last edit timestamp) where (user is in group 'bots') and (last edit timestamp > n days before today).

Is this in fact a bug? Can we replace the text link permanently with the horziontal Curation bar? This would not conflict with any claims that access to Twinkle is being eroded. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 08:21, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
BTW. As far as I understand, at Phabricator they consider the populating of Page Curation with all the options from Twinkle to be complete. Could you take a look and compare ths list from Twinkle with what we have in Curation? I wanted to propose a new article for merging today and I couldn't. I'm beginning to see why people are treating my claims of Curation being a brilliant piece of software as a joke and are not using it.

I notice that response helper still has "only edits are to AFC/draft space" as an option. Per this discussion from 2013, this was basically an exemption to the policy thought up by one admin (who used be the most active admin at UAA but has since moved on) and never really was a real exemption.
Other than that, may I say I wish I had had this awesome tool back in 2009 when I started doing this, it makes this kind of work significantly less tedious. Beeblebrox ( talk)

Currently, the edit summary just says "(done (using userRightsManager))" when using the script to mark a request as "done". I think the script should be modified to include the username between "/*" and "*/" in the edit summary, like this: "( →User:Username: done (using userRightsManager))".

Hi MusikAnimal. I just wanted to clarify my thought process regarding the addition to the hatnote at Wikipedia:Edit filter. I was thinking if " WP:AF" could mean " WP:April Fools'", then someone looking for April Fools' could likely also be looking for the community's conduct expectations on April Fools' Day, which would be at Wikipedia:Rules for Fools. Ultimately, this doesn't strike me as a big deal, since Rules for Fools is listed in the hatnote at Wikipedia:April Fools. Best, Mz7 ( talk) 04:58, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

We now need to start monitoring the effect/effectivity of Page Curation. This is something that has never been done since its creation. If the Quarry strings can be done for the following, then we have them for regular updates to he data. Believe me , if I knew how to do this myself, I would, rather than having to pester other Wikipedians. Regex (or whatever is used) is one of the most frustrating gaps in my education, there are so many professional fields where I could be using it.

How do I get the total number of page views of one page? The tool currently connected counts only from 2015 onwards. And the tool referred to: http://stats.grok.se/de/201612/Widerstandsthermometer gives only "internal server error" back. -- Manorainjan ( talk) 11:59, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I can not use http://stats.grok.se can You use it? When I try to use it, it returns only the "internal server error" message. -- Manorainjan ( talk) 23:19, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
That does return results, thank You. But for getting the total number of page views since page creation I would have to call that tool 12 times per year and add all results manually. Is there no tool to get such a number in one shot? Manorainjan ( talk) 23:56, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, MusikAnimal. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Remember semi-protecting the page recently? Seems the IP-hopping sock has been keeping an eye on its protection. They made the exact same edit they've been making even before your bot removed the {{
pp-sock}}
template. I've undone it again and asked for indefinite semi at
WP:RPP, as the IP is quite adamant that these edits be made, even requesting them on the talk page while the article was semied. Would you mind taking care of my RPP request? —

Saturday December 3: Contemporary Chinese Art Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim | |
---|---|
On Saturday December 3, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fifth Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon—to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from Greater China. The event will cap off Wikipedia Asian Month, an online campaign dedicated to augmenting Asian content on Wikipedia throughout November. New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Editors are invited to view the exhibition Tales of Our Time following the event. The Guggenheim aims to raise awareness of the artists featured in the Tales of Our Time exhibition supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, and Art+Feminism.

Hello! So I stumbled across a gem on github called
mediawiki-gateway that apepars to be yours. If it isn't I apologize and you can disregard the rest of this message. You are one of the few editors I have found who uses Ruby for their bots. I'm just getting started with bots and am looking for some assistance. There is one problem I am having at the moment that I'm wondering if you have previously found a solution to. I am working on a few bots to clean up deprecated parameters from inside of template occurrences. As such I need to restrict my gsub!
calls to just look at the code inside of a specific template. I haven't found a good way to do this yet. Is this something you have previously done? Would LOVE any assistance you are willing to give. :-) Thanks! --

scan
or match
and
regular expressions to do similar things (
example).
Rubular is an online tool that may help when building your regex (put variations of the template in the test string, and make sure your regex correctly acts on them). Ruby aside, there is a
Python library to parse wikitext that may be of help, if you are comfortable with that language.
AutoWikiBrowser might also have similar functionality, not sure. Hope this helps! —

get_revision_at_date

Special:BotPasswords, I think that's what got rid of it for me. Either way it's just a warning and logging in should still work. Glad to see another Ruby bot out there! Cheers —

←) @
Zackmann08: Yeah... if you don't use bot passwords you should get a warning when logging in like Main-account login via action=login is deprecated
, so maybe that's not it. Anyway, I used the following code and get no warnings:
mw = MediaWiki::Gateway.new('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php') mw.login('MusikBot@MusikBot', 'bot password') mw.edit('User:MusikBot/sandbox', 'testing') mw.create('User:MusikBot/sandbox2', 'testing')
Note the gem does throw errors when it encounters API warnings (not just API errors). I'm not sure why you're getting API warnings, but you can disable the gem from erroring out with ignorewarnings: true
, like so:
mw = MediaWiki::Gateway.new('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php', ignorewarnings: true)
That will get you past your issue for now. Finally, I'm using mediawiki-gateway version 1.2.0, not 1.1.0. The only difference there however is I fixed it to actually handle edit conflicts (if you provide the right parameters to do so). The weird intoken warnings should have been fixed with this commit, which was the 1.1.0 release — MusikAnimal talk 21:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers.

BTW. As far as I understand, at Phabricator they consider the populating of Page Curation with all the options from Twinkle to be complete. Could you take a look and compare ths list from Twinkle with what we have in Curation? I wanted to propose a new article for merging today and I couldn't. I'm beginning to see why people are treating my claims of Curation being a brilliant piece of software as a joke and are not using it.

I notice that response helper still has "only edits are to AFC/draft space" as an option. Per this discussion from 2013, this was basically an exemption to the policy thought up by one admin (who used be the most active admin at UAA but has since moved on) and never really was a real exemption.

Currently, the edit summary just says "(done (using userRightsManager))" when using the script to mark a request as "done".

Hi MusikAnimal. I just wanted to clarify my thought process regarding the addition to the hatnote at Wikipedia:Edit filter. I was thinking if " WP:AF" could mean " WP:April Fools'", then someone looking for April Fools' could likely also be looking for the community's conduct expectations on April Fools' Day, which would be at Wikipedia:Rules for Fools. Ultimately, this doesn't strike me as a big deal, since Rules for Fools is listed in the hatnote at Wikipedia:April Fools. Best, Mz7 ( talk) 04:58, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Would you mind taking a look at my request for Pending changes reviewer? Bddmagic ( talk) 23:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
I know that you frequently answer Requests for Permissions, and I wanted to know if you think I'd qualify for Rollback permissions for use in STiki. Also please ping me to here if you reply, as my watchlist is impossible to deal with, as Twinkle watches every page I revert to. Adotchar| reply here 23:13, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

New Page Reviewers are asked to be especially on the look out 08:00-20:00 UTC (that's local London time - check your USA and AUS times) on Thursday 8 December for new pages. The BBC together with Wikimedia UK is holding a large 12-hour editathon. Many new articles and drafts are expected. See BBC 100 Women 2016: How to join our edit-a-thon. Follow also on #100womenwiki, and please, don't bite the newbies :) ( user:Kudpung for NPR. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 23:55, 7 December 2016 (UTC))
I wonder if it would re possible to make your bot automatically populate this list every time a New Page Reviewer right is granted at PERM. It's just a thought, so don't worry if it cant be done. Save a lot of work though. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 06:46, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Are you still active in the WP:BRFA?? I have a couple of bots in there that I'd love some feedback on. :-) -- Zackmann08 ( Talk to me/ What I been doing) 21:33, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
We now need to start monitoring the effect/effectivity of Page Curation. This is something that has never been done since its creation. If the Quarry strings can be done for the following, then we have them for regular updates to he data. Believe me , if I knew how to do this myself, I would, rather than having to pester other Wikipedians. Regex (or whatever is used) is one of the most frustrating gaps in my education, there are so many professional fields where I could be using it.

From this log, I need to know:
Summary: x% of users registered before 6 December 2015. x% of users have edit counts over 10,000.

If you think any additional stats would be valuable, please let me know. If you haven't got time for all this, or if it's not in your sphere of interest, please suggest someone who has. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 19:39, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
How do I get the total number of page views of one page? The tool currently connected counts only from 2015 onwards. And the tool referred to: http://stats.grok.se/de/201612/Widerstandsthermometer gives only "internal server error" back. -- Manorainjan ( talk) 11:59, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I can not use http://stats.grok.se can You use it? When I try to use it, it returns only the "internal server error" message. -- Manorainjan ( talk) 23:19, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
That does return results, thank You. But for getting the total number of page views since page creation I would have to call that tool 12 times per year and add all results manually. Is there no tool to get such a number in one shot? Manorainjan ( talk) 23:56, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Great :-) I'm looking forward to that. I "subscribed" to that ticked in the hope that this will result in notifications for me, if anything happens there. Manorainjan ( talk) 12:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, please stop process : Eranbot/MusikBot turn endlessly : User:MusikBot/CopyPatrol/Error_log. Thanks -- Framawiki (please notify) ( talk) 17:35, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
This is our second request. The backlog is still growing. Your help is needed now - just a few minutes each day.
