Bots Newsletter, December 2021 | ||
---|---|---|
Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots. Overall
September 2019
October 2019
November 2019
December 2019
In the next issue of Bots Newsletter:
These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the January 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out! Signing off... jp× g 04:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC) (You can subscribe or unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding or removing your name from this list.) |
Hey its me again lol. Is there a functionality for the Infobox country at games template that would automatically competitors_men and competitors_women totals to give an overall total?

Wanted to thank you for all you do around here, and especially your work with Module:Political party, before you got involved I was dreading trying to deal with all of those templates and move them into a more manageable form. What you've done there is quite useful and I really appreciate it. Elli ( talk | contribs) 22:48, 12 December 2021 (UTC) |
Hi Primefac, since you put in the page mover group 3 months ago I've been helping at RM and I've been handling several requests every day, most days. There was a bit of a learning curve 3 months ago and I made a few mistakes to begin with, but then several people kindly gave me feedback and it's been really smooth for the last couple of months. It'd be good to have this on a permanent basis if you think that's fine - I've built this into my wiki-routine now and I don't mind carrying on. Thanks! Dr. Vogel ( talk) 01:18, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, how can i change the party colors of ukrainian parties? All of them that I have seen are incorrect if you check them, many of them are incorrect. I'm interested in {party color | ***}}.

I just saw that you closed my Outing ANI [1] after the offending editor deleted their problematic text, and even thanked them from doing so. I must note that it took significant push-back from another editor (and me opening an ANI) before they made the revert. Before that, they wrote several times to justify what they did. Additionally, this is part of a pattern of behavior on their part, including harassments of editors, as I noted on the article's Talk page: "First you initiated a project to out editors who you felt were part of an off-Wiki editing team, even trying to get like minded editors to help, and now this. For some reason I am laughing at your "unintentional" claim. I am done with you." The issue there was an ANI brought against me and others by this editor because they were not getting their way editing a page - which led to a ridiculously long discussion wasting everyone's time. I believe the editor was temporarily blocked. (check this?) There was talk about initiating a topic ban as well. (?) So I think - this being on the same topic that they will not let go of (Skeptical articles and editors) perhaps that issue needs a reevaluation. Rp2006 ( talk) 21:46, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Primefac. Do you have any idea why the non-free file
File:Flag of the Torres Strait Islanders.svg is showing up when
Torres Strait Islands is used in combination with
Template:Flag. The combination was being used in
Australian Aboriginal languages, which probably means that the non-free file is being taken from some documentation page like
Template:Country data Torres Strait Islands. The exact syntax was {{flag|Torres Strait Islands|local}}
and it seems that the "local" argument is what's calling up the non-free file. I think it might have something to do with
this IP edit made to the country data page, but I'm not sure. It's not really a good idea for a non-free file to be able to be added to pages via templates like this because it could cause the file to be used in non-policy compliant ways, but I'm not sure whether this was intentionally done or is just a template qwirk. --

Hi, i just learnt that most Political shortname and color templates are deleted in favor of a centralised Module as per the outcome of this TfD initiated by you.

Primefac you said it was borderline but still passed so how can it be marked for deletion please the holidays are here and the subject sources were not bad it's the way journalism in Hip hop is done. Please guys this hurts so bad because the subject has shared with all of his family members and the world the link and now it says it going to be deleted. Borderline is a pass please guys don't do this it hurts so bad it's almost like the chainsaw cut off our necks when this was done we were simply just trying to remove the ophan tag please guys it is a pass like Primefac originally stated please don't pull the rug from under us just like that. The sources are credible and borderline which means it should not be scheduled for deletion! Its almost like giving a kid a bag of candy then when they go to take a piece out you take the bag from him. This hurts so bad words can't explain that pain felt from this. Hopefully you guys can please stop the deletion process and find it in your hearts to accept it back! Happy holidays! Godsentme1 ( talk) 05:04, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi Primefac. Could you take a look at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 72#Di templates and suggest a possible next course of action? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:38, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
For some reason, the last request related to these templates that I made at RMT got moved to WP:RMT#Administrator needed by another editor. I'm not sure why this was done because the other moves I requested were done fairly quickly as uncontroversial requests. Anyway, the request has gone unresponded to for almost a week; so, I'm wondering if you could take a look at it and see if there's a problem with it. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 08:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi again Primefac. I came across another template whose wording needs to be tweeked in accordance with the above-mentioned changes. Can you update the f7 part of Template:Deletable image-caption "Criteria" section to change "This file has an invalid fair use claim" to "This file has an invalid non-free use claim"? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.
A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.
This is the final update with no further talk page messages planned.

Hi Primefac, and happy solstice season! I'm considering starting a large discussion sometime soon proposing to switch our method of clarifying surnames from hatnotes to explanatory footnotes, following up from the prior discussions here and elsewhere. Given that you've been involved in this area on the technical side through your creation of {{ Family name hatnote}}, I wanted to check in to see if you have any preliminary thoughts. I presume that, if consensus for it was found, it would be possible to create a bot task to make the transition (although it might be a little tricky, as the bot would need to identify if an existing explanatory footnote method is used and to find the right spot after the bolded title).

Just wondering, how do you handle these, and what criteria do you assess them by? I usually just check if they seem sound enough, let them have a trial and give a period for input (sometimes with a recommendation to post on a WikiProject talk). A recent one was Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 5 (although it's currently at CfD). I guess yours ( Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PrimeBOT 37) was another. I'm just wary of approving a task that ends up making a couple thousand edits and then has to be reversed by a future CfD, especially when the category is created recently and the category creator makes a bot request to populate it.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hi Primefac, one of your PrimeBOT edits was just partially reverted in the JData article. Bot was supposed to remove a deprecated maint. template, but you've probably set it to make other small corrections. In this case one of the small corrections was to link to a disambiguation page, 6.0, which caught my attention. That edit didn't appear to be correct, so I reverted all the other small edits while still getting rid of the deprecated template. As usual, I could be wrong, so if I was wrong, feel free to revert my edit. Thought you should know just in case I was correct. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 21:50, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Dear Primefac, thank you for the reverts on those "information commission" pages. John B123 suggested (at Talk:Tripura_State_Information_Commission) to merge various "State Information Commission" articles into and redirected to Central Information Commission; which is quite similar to my suggestion which I made at my talk page.

Bots Newsletter, December 2021 | ||
---|---|---|
Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots. Overall
September 2019
October 2019
November 2019
December 2019
In the next issue of Bots Newsletter:
These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the January 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out! Signing off... jp× g 04:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC) (You can subscribe or unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding or removing your name from this list.) |

Wanted to thank you for all you do around here, and especially your work with Module:Political party, before you got involved I was dreading trying to deal with all of those templates and move them into a more manageable form. What you've done there is quite useful and I really appreciate it. Elli ( talk | contribs) 22:48, 12 December 2021 (UTC) |
Hi Primefac, since you put in the page mover group 3 months ago I've been helping at RM and I've been handling several requests every day, most days. There was a bit of a learning curve 3 months ago and I made a few mistakes to begin with, but then several people kindly gave me feedback and it's been really smooth for the last couple of months. It'd be good to have this on a permanent basis if you think that's fine - I've built this into my wiki-routine now and I don't mind carrying on. Thanks! Dr. Vogel ( talk) 01:18, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

I just saw that you closed my Outing ANI [1] after the offending editor deleted their problematic text, and even thanked them from doing so. I must note that it took significant push-back from another editor (and me opening an ANI) before they made the revert. Before that, they wrote several times to justify what they did. Additionally, this is part of a pattern of behavior on their part, including harassments of editors, as I noted on the article's Talk page: "First you initiated a project to out editors who you felt were part of an off-Wiki editing team, even trying to get like minded editors to help, and now this. For some reason I am laughing at your "unintentional" claim. I am done with you." The issue there was an ANI brought against me and others by this editor because they were not getting their way editing a page - which led to a ridiculously long discussion wasting everyone's time. I believe the editor was temporarily blocked. (check this?) There was talk about initiating a topic ban as well. (?) So I think - this being on the same topic that they will not let go of (Skeptical articles and editors) perhaps that issue needs a reevaluation. Rp2006 ( talk) 21:46, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Primefac. Do you have any idea why the non-free file
File:Flag of the Torres Strait Islanders.svg is showing up when
Torres Strait Islands is used in combination with
Template:Flag. The combination was being used in
Australian Aboriginal languages, which probably means that the non-free file is being taken from some documentation page like
Template:Country data Torres Strait Islands. The exact syntax was {{flag|Torres Strait Islands|local}}
and it seems that the "local" argument is what's calling up the non-free file. I think it might have something to do with
this IP edit made to the country data page, but I'm not sure. It's not really a good idea for a non-free file to be able to be added to pages via templates like this because it could cause the file to be used in non-policy compliant ways, but I'm not sure whether this was intentionally done or is just a template qwirk. --

Primefac you said it was borderline but still passed so how can it be marked for deletion please the holidays are here and the subject sources were not bad it's the way journalism in Hip hop is done. Please guys this hurts so bad because the subject has shared with all of his family members and the world the link and now it says it going to be deleted. Borderline is a pass please guys don't do this it hurts so bad it's almost like the chainsaw cut off our necks when this was done we were simply just trying to remove the ophan tag please guys it is a pass like Primefac originally stated please don't pull the rug from under us just like that. The sources are credible and borderline which means it should not be scheduled for deletion! Its almost like giving a kid a bag of candy then when they go to take a piece out you take the bag from him. This hurts so bad words can't explain that pain felt from this.

Hi Primefac. Could you take a look at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 72#Di templates and suggest a possible next course of action? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:38, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
For some reason, the last request related to these templates that I made at RMT got moved to WP:RMT#Administrator needed by another editor. I'm not sure why this was done because the other moves I requested were done fairly quickly as uncontroversial requests. Anyway, the request has gone unresponded to for almost a week; so, I'm wondering if you could take a look at it and see if there's a problem with it. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 08:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.
A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.
This is the final update with no further talk page messages planned.

Hi Primefac, and happy solstice season! I'm considering starting a large discussion sometime soon proposing to switch our method of clarifying surnames from hatnotes to explanatory footnotes, following up from the prior discussions here and elsewhere. Given that you've been involved in this area on the technical side through your creation of {{ Family name hatnote}}, I wanted to check in to see if you have any preliminary thoughts. I presume that, if consensus for it was found, it would be possible to create a bot task to make the transition (although it might be a little tricky, as the bot would need to identify if an existing explanatory footnote method is used and to find the right spot after the bolded title).

Just wondering, how do you handle these, and what criteria do you assess them by? I usually just check if they seem sound enough, let them have a trial and give a period for input (sometimes with a recommendation to post on a WikiProject talk). A recent one was Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 5 (although it's currently at CfD). I guess yours ( Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PrimeBOT 37) was another. I'm just wary of approving a task that ends up making a couple thousand edits and then has to be reversed by a future CfD, especially when the category is created recently and the category creator makes a bot request to populate it.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hi Primefac, one of your PrimeBOT edits was just partially reverted in the JData article. Bot was supposed to remove a deprecated maint. template, but you've probably set it to make other small corrections. In this case one of the small corrections was to link to a disambiguation page, 6.0, which caught my attention. That edit didn't appear to be correct, so I reverted all the other small edits while still getting rid of the deprecated template. As usual, I could be wrong, so if I was wrong, feel free to revert my edit. Thought you should know just in case I was correct. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 21:50, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

I saw you worked on that. Could you please correct this erroneous "Water cap" entry - i.e., add a period after "cap"? - see discussion at Template_talk:Infobox_locomotive. Thank you! -- User:Haraldmmueller 17:35, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi! I was wondering if you could get the Infobox Olympic event template to show competitors male and female, just like the infobox country at games template. Tyia! Sportsfan 1234 ( talk) 02:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Please, remember to check this. -- Mahmudmasri ( talk) 13:24, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments like that should be arbcom-worthy, but thanks for calling it out for what it was. All the best! SN54129 18:03, 29 January 2022 (UTC) |
I saw that comment when it was made and wasn’t sure what (if anything) to do about it, but I think you took a good approach, so thank you. Cheers, 28bytes ( talk) 18:13, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
