Hey MusikAnimal, I was doing a quick run through UAA earlier and I noticed that when I use response helper to try and add a response / comment it asks for input through the pop-up, generates the edit summary, but doesn't make an actual response on the page itself.

the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed.
Hi MusikAnimal, I hope you're well; I've a fairly simple story to tell, but if this message is out form; and not within wikipedia norm, then please disregard it, for I will wait; and leave the matter to time and fate.
In 2018, I gave attention, to a musician who it seemed needed mention; a fixture of New York city clubs, who from his origins in new england pubs; ascended to stages known by all, from the bitter end to carnegie hall.
My research was thorough, though left much room to grow , but what I included is what I came to know; through info gleaned from historical sources, which wikipedia most firmly endorses.
papers of record, like the new york times, and illustrious critics, famed for their lines; mentions in several an academic tome, the washington post; the rolling stone; and other sources, which helped to create, a basic picture of a piano-playing great.
The submission, however, was declined at the time, not because the content was suspect or out of line; but due to the inclusion, within a substantial list, of: "discogs and wikipedia", (whose ban I had missed).
Anyway, in short, I have returned to this at last, and believe as I did, that it's absence has cast; a shadow on the completeness of music wikipedia, for without the inclusion of disparate, curious, masters of sundry musical media; The project will not really fulfill it's destiny, or at least may not be the very best that it can be.
My reason, in closing, for writing you now: Is: would you check out the article, which is under review? and consider whether it seems worthy to you? And if you have some suggestions, or things not quite there, your input, as experienced editor, would be utilized with great appreciation and care!
This is the article in question: /info/en/?search=Draft:Norman_Zamcheck
Thank you Musikanimal, for reading this note!

What caused the problems with your edit here...? Cheers, RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 02:47, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi there MusikAnimal. I love the automatically updating unpatrolled pages graph at Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Backlog_chart, which it appears you made. I'm wondering if it'd be relatively easy to create a similar graph for the number of pages in Category:All articles lacking sources that updates daily to show the total number of articles in that category? We've been steadily reducing the number of articles in that category by about 1,000 per month since at least early 2018 (when I started penciling down the number periodically). I think having the trend easily visible might help boost morale and drive a few extra editor hours towards helping out. That said, I have no relevant technical know-how, so here I am asking for your time. If there's somewhere else I should go knocking, please let me know. Otherwise thanks for your time! I hope you're staying well. Ajpolino ( talk) 17:51, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

delete-redirect
userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.Greetings -
I opened an OTRS ticket several weeks ago requesting an IP block exemption for my account, but I still have not received a response. I want an IPBE primarily for privacy reasons, as I recently subscribed to a VPN provider. I want to be able to edit without having to turn off the VPN every time I edit, and I would be logged into my account anyway so it’s not like it would be a problem.
I’m a trusted editor here with over 17,000 edits, and I’ve been here for over 7 years. I believe I am a suitable candidate for the exemption.
I am aware that IP block exemptions are generally given to students so that they can edit from educational institutions. However, I noticed that an administrator ( User:Deryck Chan) logged another editor’s successful IPBE request for the same reason I want an IPBE (privacy), so I was hoping you could help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! LJF2019 talk 00:29, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, MusikAnimal,
I accidentally edited logged out and I'm just looking for some advice. Is it possible for my IP to be removed from the history of the article? Is there anything else I can do as I'd prefer people didn't see the IP. (Even if it is not directly linked to my identity/username)
After making the mistake I tried to find documentation on the matter and stumbled on your user page after checking the list of admins willing to do a revision deletion. I then started out by attempting to email you, but that didn't work since you've disabled that functionality, so I can't really disclose any identifying information on the article I mistakenly edited.
Incidentally, while looking for your email address on your archives (not the correct procedure, i now know), i stumbled on a user that had the same problem, it seems like, and they were pointed to Special:EmailUser/Oversight, i might give that a shot, but i thought to ask you here first.
Is this something you can help me with? Or should I contact another party?
Oh, also:
it has been said - that rhyming requests - are prioritized
a wordsmith - i am - not - for that i truly - apologized
the request remains genuine - and hopefully - optimized

Hi MusikAnimal, I was taking a look at a template you are maintaining that for the NYC covid article and I am seeing some conflicting numbers. On the NYC.gov totals page 31,694 is listed as the total number of NYC deaths to date ( https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data-totals.page) while the NYC template has 96,455 deaths. In addition, the number of deaths for NYC is not consistent with the template for all of NY state which has 41,028 currently. Is there something I am missing?

Hello! In deWP we use your tool "pageview analysis" as a standard link at the very end. See, the working example de:Test. At the very botton you see the link "Abrufstatistik", when you click on it, you open https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?pages=Test&project=de.wikipedia.org which redirects to https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=de.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Test everything is fine here.
However, at least one page does not work: de:Eureka O’Hara Here the link is https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?pages=Eureka_O%E2%80%99Hara&project=de.wikipedia.org which then redirects to https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=de.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages= The page to view gets lost.
A really strange problem, deWP has a lot of other O'Haras, I checked some of them, they all worked well, just de:Eureka O’Hara fails.
Please take a look at this problem. Thanks. I have reported this in de:Wikipedia:Technik/Werkstatt#Probleme_bei_"Abrufstatistik"_ganz_unten,_vor_dem_Link_zu_den_Autoren too. Wurgl ( talk) 13:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi :) I noticed that the "stale filters" task operated by MusikBot is currently reporting wrong stats, as it thinks that the last hit of all filters was on April 12th (
enwiki,
itwiki). Looking at
this code, I am fairly sure that this was caused by the schema change afl_filter
-> afl_filter_id + afl_global
(
T220791). Since the bot is only interested in local filters, the solution would be to check for afl_global = 0
and use afl_filter_id
instead of afl_filter
. I can send a PR on github if you wish. Thank you, --

[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283012] I think there is a misunderstsanding. You are right that examples you cite are fine - but only up to a point. The issue concerns what happens when a redirect is overwritten by a moved-in the article (and hence deleted in the process). The "correct" examples you cite which have two entries on my article creation lists are for articles I created, and for redirects I also created to them, then the article was renamed and moved over my own redirect.
This is a bit different and more confusing for example for entries "Mary Lowell Putnam", " German–Polish declaration of non-aggression" and "Privacy concerns with Facebook" (from my list at [ https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Piotrus]). What happened is that I created redirects, but not the main articles. Then my redirects were deleted as the main article was moved in their spot. So the current tags deleted/recreated are both correct and not, and the listing is weird - since it shows a blue link to an article that nonetheless has no assessment. In particular, this is an error as it implies I am the creator of those articles (but I am not).
Looking at the top of the tool I see that it states that the results are supposed to "Redirects Exclude redirects" but clearly this fails when we are dealing with former redirects. This results in deleted redirects being listed, either duplicating my own creations or worse, adding entries for articles I DID NOT create.
So solution one would be to exclude them, per the exclude redirects assumption, solution two would be to label this more correctly. I think solution one is what we want here?
Please let me know if I clarified this better? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:52, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Hi MusikAnimal, with huge thanks to Cyberpower678, the redesign of WP:RFPP is now live. {{ RFPP}} is now substituted by default, and User:MusikAnimal/responseHelper.js needs to be updated to substitute it as well.

Thank you very much for this, and thank you very much in advance! ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 18:31, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello.
This has happened twice recently on pages on my watchlist.
See edit history of Football helmet where an IP added this blatant vandalism and one minute later the bot removes the protection template. The vandalism remained live for over two days before I caught it, only because there happened to be another hit of vandalism.
See Nicole Aniston. The bot removes the template immediately after a string of IP edits that included unsourced changes, broken markup and unreliable external links.
It seems like it waits for an unregistered user to edit the page and uses that event as a trigger to remove the template. Is there some reason why the bot is performing this task at the worst possible moment, on known vandalism targets? Can it not remove protection templates as soon the protection expires?
It's not helping anyone if we have to remember to check behind all these bot's edits.
Thank you for your time and effort. -- DB1729 ( talk) 06:11, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
In
this edit, MusikBot inserted obsolete <tt>...</tt>
tags that ended up being transcluded into template space. A group of editors has worked diligently to remove every
obsolete tag from template space; if the bot could be updated to use {{
mono}}, quote marks, or some other non-obsolete syntax, that would be helpful. Thanks. –

. So the path we're working with here is en.wikipedia.org/. Then we use a question mark to indicate the start of the query string. You could also use a path to the page title and then you don't need index.php or the title=
parameter. For instance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script.js?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript
. Any variation should work with scriptManager. —

Hi MusikAnimal: It appears that the bot is not archiving entries for AFI that have concluded. At Wikipedia:Articles for improvement/Schedule, the Organ (biology) article has been selected yet again. Take a look at Talk:Organ (biology) and uncollapse the "This article has been selected as Today's article for improvement multiple times" box, where you can see that the article has been an AFI six times already. It's very likely that something is wrong, so notifying you of this matter. North America 1000 23:39, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello @ MusikAnimal:! I have seen your notice that Naypta may be inactive. In that case, I will probably get no reply at User talk:Naypta#Help about facts on Yapperbot.

Hi MusikAnimal. I was disappointed to see that you've applied template-editor protection to this template, on which I've worked in the past. Kanguole 16:43, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey MusikAnimal, thanks for doing the work with getting the various templates protected! I'm all in favor of having Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask protected too, but somehow SuggestBot's unable to edit it now. From my reading of Wikipedia:XC, the bot should implicitly be a member of the extended confirmed group since it's a bot. Special:UserRights/SuggestBot only lists it as an implicit member of the autoconfirmed user group, though. I'm not sure what's going on there, is that something you could easily fix?

Hello, I've been working on a widget that enables a customized dark mode. I don't know java script too well so I figured I'd contact the author of the dark mode extension for some help. The problem I'm having is, I can't figure out how to add an html class, for later css customization, while also having a link that updates it's text depending on the theme. I can only get one or the other to work. And due to the wiki that I'm working on having a custom skin, it's css takes priority over the gadget, and doesn't allow a dark themed skin to be loaded in it's place. Here is the link to my personal js file for context, I don't know if this will require more than one page of js or what but I'm hoping you can help me out: https://mcdiscontinued.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Left-Eye/common.js

Hello MusikAnimal,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Is there any particular reason why you Revision Deleted all of the edits by this LTA (and the second account they created immediately afterwards)? Was that vandalism really that grossly inappropriate? I mean, I've seen much worse than that. If you do want to keep all of those edits hidden though, you might also want to get rid of the user talk page of the second account, and my rollback edit summary of the second account that has the username in it. Finally, for some reason all of the filter log hits from both accounts have mysteriously disappeared, even though I thought that only oversighters could purge filter hits (and you aren't an OS as far as I can tell).

Hi MusikAnimal, I hope you're well; I've a fairly simple story to tell, but if this message is out form; and not within wikipedia norm, then please disregard it, for I will wait; and leave the matter to time and fate.
In 2018, I gave attention, to a musician who it seemed needed mention; a fixture of New York city clubs, who from his origins in new england pubs; ascended to stages known by all, from the bitter end to carnegie hall.
My research was thorough, though left much room to grow , but what I included is what I came to know; through info gleaned from historical sources, which wikipedia most firmly endorses.
papers of record, like the new york times, and illustrious critics, famed for their lines; mentions in several an academic tome, the washington post; the rolling stone; and other sources, which helped to create, a basic picture of a piano-playing great.
The submission, however, was declined at the time, not because the content was suspect or out of line; but due to the inclusion, within a substantial list, of: "discogs and wikipedia", (whose ban I had missed).
Anyway, in short, I have returned to this at last, and believe as I did, that it's absence has cast; a shadow on the completeness of music wikipedia, for without the inclusion of disparate, curious, masters of sundry musical media; The project will not really fulfill it's destiny, or at least may not be the very best that it can be.
My reason, in closing, for writing you now: Is: would you check out the article, which is under review? and consider whether it seems worthy to you? And if you have some suggestions, or things not quite there, your input, as experienced editor, would be utilized with great appreciation and care!
This is the article in question: /info/en/?search=Draft:Norman_Zamcheck

What caused the problems with your edit here...? Cheers, RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 02:47, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi there MusikAnimal. I love the automatically updating unpatrolled pages graph at Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Backlog_chart, which it appears you made. I'm wondering if it'd be relatively easy to create a similar graph for the number of pages in Category:All articles lacking sources that updates daily to show the total number of articles in that category? We've been steadily reducing the number of articles in that category by about 1,000 per month since at least early 2018 (when I started penciling down the number periodically). I think having the trend easily visible might help boost morale and drive a few extra editor hours towards helping out. That said, I have no relevant technical know-how, so here I am asking for your time. If there's somewhere else I should go knocking, please let me know. Otherwise thanks for your time! I hope you're staying well. Ajpolino ( talk) 17:51, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

delete-redirect
userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.Greetings -
I opened an OTRS ticket several weeks ago requesting an IP block exemption for my account, but I still have not received a response. I want an IPBE primarily for privacy reasons, as I recently subscribed to a VPN provider. I want to be able to edit without having to turn off the VPN every time I edit, and I would be logged into my account anyway so it’s not like it would be a problem.
I’m a trusted editor here with over 17,000 edits, and I’ve been here for over 7 years. I believe I am a suitable candidate for the exemption.
I am aware that IP block exemptions are generally given to students so that they can edit from educational institutions. However, I noticed that an administrator ( User:Deryck Chan) logged another editor’s successful IPBE request for the same reason I want an IPBE (privacy), so I was hoping you could help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! LJF2019 talk 00:29, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, MusikAnimal,
I accidentally edited logged out and I'm just looking for some advice. Is it possible for my IP to be removed from the history of the article? Is there anything else I can do as I'd prefer people didn't see the IP. (Even if it is not directly linked to my identity/username)
After making the mistake I tried to find documentation on the matter and stumbled on your user page after checking the list of admins willing to do a revision deletion. I then started out by attempting to email you, but that didn't work since you've disabled that functionality, so I can't really disclose any identifying information on the article I mistakenly edited.
Incidentally, while looking for your email address on your archives (not the correct procedure, i now know), i stumbled on a user that had the same problem, it seems like, and they were pointed to Special:EmailUser/Oversight, i might give that a shot, but i thought to ask you here first.
Is this something you can help me with? Or should I contact another party?
Oh, also:
it has been said - that rhyming requests - are prioritized
a wordsmith - i am - not - for that i truly - apologized
the request remains genuine - and hopefully - optimized

Hi MusikAnimal, I was taking a look at a template you are maintaining that for the NYC covid article and I am seeing some conflicting numbers. On the NYC.gov totals page 31,694 is listed as the total number of NYC deaths to date ( https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data-totals.page) while the NYC template has 96,455 deaths. In addition, the number of deaths for NYC is not consistent with the template for all of NY state which has 41,028 currently. Is there something I am missing?

Hi there, I was just browsing Wikipedia:Articles for improvement/Accomplishments and at the bottom of the statistics section it appears that the automatic updates have stopped working correctly.

Hello! In deWP we use your tool "pageview analysis" as a standard link at the very end. See, the working example de:Test. At the very botton you see the link "Abrufstatistik", when you click on it, you open https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?pages=Test&project=de.wikipedia.org which redirects to https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=de.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Test everything is fine here.
However, at least one page does not work: de:Eureka O’Hara Here the link is https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?pages=Eureka_O%E2%80%99Hara&project=de.wikipedia.org which then redirects to https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=de.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages= The page to view gets lost.
A really strange problem, deWP has a lot of other O'Haras, I checked some of them, they all worked well, just de:Eureka O’Hara fails.
Please take a look at this problem. Thanks. I have reported this in de:Wikipedia:Technik/Werkstatt#Probleme_bei_"Abrufstatistik"_ganz_unten,_vor_dem_Link_zu_den_Autoren too. Wurgl ( talk) 13:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi :) I noticed that the "stale filters" task operated by MusikBot is currently reporting wrong stats, as it thinks that the last hit of all filters was on April 12th (
enwiki,
itwiki). Looking at
this code, I am fairly sure that this was caused by the schema change afl_filter
-> afl_filter_id + afl_global
(
T220791). Since the bot is only interested in local filters, the solution would be to check for afl_global = 0
and use afl_filter_id
instead of afl_filter
. I can send a PR on github if you wish. Thank you, --

[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283012] I think there is a misunderstsanding. You are right that examples you cite are fine - but only up to a point. The issue concerns what happens when a redirect is overwritten by a moved-in the article (and hence deleted in the process). The "correct" examples you cite which have two entries on my article creation lists are for articles I created, and for redirects I also created to them, then the article was renamed and moved over my own redirect.
This is a bit different and more confusing for example for entries "Mary Lowell Putnam", " German–Polish declaration of non-aggression" and "Privacy concerns with Facebook" (from my list at [ https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Piotrus]). What happened is that I created redirects, but not the main articles. Then my redirects were deleted as the main article was moved in their spot. So the current tags deleted/recreated are both correct and not, and the listing is weird - since it shows a blue link to an article that nonetheless has no assessment. In particular, this is an error as it implies I am the creator of those articles (but I am not).
Looking at the top of the tool I see that it states that the results are supposed to "Redirects Exclude redirects" but clearly this fails when we are dealing with former redirects. This results in deleted redirects being listed, either duplicating my own creations or worse, adding entries for articles I DID NOT create.
So solution one would be to exclude them, per the exclude redirects assumption, solution two would be to label this more correctly. I think solution one is what we want here?
Please let me know if I clarified this better? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:52, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Hi MusikAnimal, with huge thanks to Cyberpower678, the redesign of WP:RFPP is now live. {{ RFPP}} is now substituted by default, and User:MusikAnimal/responseHelper.js needs to be updated to substitute it as well.

Hello.
This has happened twice recently on pages on my watchlist.
See edit history of Football helmet where an IP added this blatant vandalism and one minute later the bot removes the protection template. The vandalism remained live for over two days before I caught it, only because there happened to be another hit of vandalism.
See Nicole Aniston. The bot removes the template immediately after a string of IP edits that included unsourced changes, broken markup and unreliable external links.
It seems like it waits for an unregistered user to edit the page and uses that event as a trigger to remove the template. Is there some reason why the bot is performing this task at the worst possible moment, on known vandalism targets? Can it not remove protection templates as soon the protection expires?
It's not helping anyone if we have to remember to check behind all these bot's edits.
Thank you for your time and effort. -- DB1729 ( talk) 06:11, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
In
this edit, MusikBot inserted obsolete <tt>...</tt>
tags that ended up being transcluded into template space. A group of editors has worked diligently to remove every
obsolete tag from template space; if the bot could be updated to use {{
mono}}, quote marks, or some other non-obsolete syntax, that would be helpful. Thanks. –

. So the path we're working with here is en.wikipedia.org/. Then we use a question mark to indicate the start of the query string. You could also use a path to the page title and then you don't need index.php or the title=
parameter. For instance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script.js?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript
. Any variation should work with scriptManager. —

Take a look at Talk:Organ (biology) and uncollapse the "This article has been selected as Today's article for improvement multiple times" box, where you can see that the article has been an AFI six times already. It's very likely that something is wrong, so notifying you of this matter. North America 1000 23:39, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello @ MusikAnimal:! I have seen your notice that Naypta may be inactive. In that case, I will probably get no reply at User talk:Naypta#Help about facts on Yapperbot. I am wondering if you can provide some input on that question, or refer it to another qualified editor. Thank you very much. Esem0 ( talk) 07:42, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi MusikAnimal. I was disappointed to see that you've applied template-editor protection to this template, on which I've worked in the past. Kanguole 16:43, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey MusikAnimal, thanks for doing the work with getting the various templates protected! I'm all in favor of having Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask protected too, but somehow SuggestBot's unable to edit it now. From my reading of Wikipedia:XC, the bot should implicitly be a member of the extended confirmed group since it's a bot. Special:UserRights/SuggestBot only lists it as an implicit member of the autoconfirmed user group, though. I'm not sure what's going on there, is that something you could easily fix?

Hello, I've been working on a widget that enables a customized dark mode. I don't know java script too well so I figured I'd contact the author of the dark mode extension for some help. The problem I'm having is, I can't figure out how to add an html class, for later css customization, while also having a link that updates it's text depending on the theme. I can only get one or the other to work. And due to the wiki that I'm working on having a custom skin, it's css takes priority over the gadget, and doesn't allow a dark themed skin to be loaded in it's place. Here is the link to my personal js file for context, I don't know if this will require more than one page of js or what but I'm hoping you can help me out: https://mcdiscontinued.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Left-Eye/common.js

Hello MusikAnimal,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Is there any particular reason why you Revision Deleted all of the edits by this LTA (and the second account they created immediately afterwards)? Was that vandalism really that grossly inappropriate? I mean, I've seen much worse than that. If you do want to keep all of those edits hidden though, you might also want to get rid of the user talk page of the second account, and my rollback edit summary of the second account that has the username in it. Finally, for some reason all of the filter log hits from both accounts have mysteriously disappeared, even though I thought that only oversighters could purge filter hits (and you aren't an OS as far as I can tell).

I wonder if you can add some kind of filter in "Topviews" to show only "new" articles. "New articles" may mean articles created [1] in the last week.
