Hi DJ, I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I designed Echo. Brandon had created a direction doc a long time ago and we've pivoted quite a bit from there so would love to hear any specific design feedback with the content organization, email ux or interface.

Hi TheDJ! In your edit dated 22:21, 21 October 2011 you wrote: "See User:TheDJ/Sharebox. If anyone wants to propose it as a gadget, then do so". We still get requests like this once in a while, so I think turning Sharebox into a gadget may be a good idea. Personally I strongly dislike Facebook, but that is just my POV. How can we start the process of turning this into a opt-in gadget? Sorry, I have never tried that before. Arcandam ( talk) 21:52, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey Derk-Jan. I'm in a little bit of a pickle, and I was wondering if you could help me out. Basically, I have exams coming up, so I'm not going to be able to write the Tech report to its usual length, though the amount of extra time needed differs by the week:
Since you've helped out before, is there any possibility you might be able to contribute to one or more of these issues? I'll also be sending this message to Aude, as well, but I know she's busy with DC stuff. Regards, - Jarry1250 Deliberation needed 16:10, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi
Are you based in Berlin? I came across you as a guest at the Berlin hackathon this weekend? And thought I might send you a message to see if you would have the chance to meet up with some of my colleagues at OpenOil over the next few weeks.
We have a MediaWiki platform at wiki.openoil.net, currently fairly basic, which we use for capacity building exercises around the extractive industries as part of our social mandate. We have been looking at various extensions (eg. mapping, comments, social media, mobile skin etc) which it would be interesting to discuss with you.
Please get in touch on lucy.wallwork@openoil.net if you fancy meeting for lunch one day, and I can pass you on to deal with my colleagues Zara and Amrit.
Cheers. Lucy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.189.117.93 ( talk) 14:12, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi DJ, sure, I'd be happy to help out with any experiments to improve accessibility. As for the ARIA script, the landmarks read fine with JAWS. It is pretty nifty to be able to press a key and move to the different parts of the page instantly! Some of the landmarks seem a little redundant to me, but that is probably because I still use the Monobook skin which has more headings than Vector. I confess I don't know much about ARIA or landmarks, but I'm willing to learn ... I just havenn't encountered them very often. Graham 87 14:40, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
I updated bugzilla:38009 with more details; in short however, I can't figure out why this works:

document.cookie = 'stopMobileRedirect=false; domain=.wikipedia.org;'
+ 'path=/; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:00 GMT;';
});
but this doesn't:
$('a[href$="toggle_view_mobile"]').click(function(){
$.cookie('stopMobileRedirect','false',
{ domain: '.wikipedia.org',
path: '/',
expires: 'Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:00 GMT'});

The Template:Lang title documentation does not state clearly where in the article the template is supposed to go. I wonder: is it supposed to be the first item in an article? Is there some way of finding out if it is used at all in English Wikipedia (i.e. does it set a category, as—I believe—Template:Lang does?) Background: Some diacritics-crazy people have been adding diacritics (including Vietnamese diacritics) to article titles. I'm also curious if the same template is used in all the foreign-language Wikipedias (the documentation suggests so). I gave one of the foreign Wikipedias a quick glance but couldn't see it.

To the language template genius: It's not urgent or essential that it be fixed, because I found a partial work-around, but I've just noticed that Template:Nihongo seems to have a bug: When I display it in my user sandbox there's no problem, example: Hepburn romanization system ( Japanese: ヘボン式ローマ字, Hepburn: Hebon-shiki Rōmaji)—but when the same template (with the same contents) is pasted into the lede of the Hepburn romanization article, the "Hepburn" appears in bold, and is not a link. (I modified the contents of the template in the lede to work around the problem). LittleBen ( talk) 12:08, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
[[User talk:TheDJ]]
just here, it shows as
User talk:TheDJ and not as a link. Thus, if you use {{
Nihongo}}
on any page other than
Japanese language,
Hepburn romanization, or
Help:Installing Japanese character sets (these being the three pages directly linked from
Template:Nihongo), the links will display normally. --

Hi.
i think you are one of the technically savvy people in enwiki, and tend to participate in WP:VPT, so i approach you. you may not be the right person, or you may not be interested - that's understandable.
so here goes:
there are 3 different innovations that we started in hewiki and wanted to offer to enwiki. i posted about 2 of them in WP:VPT, but this did not go anywhere, even though the feedback was positive, so it seems i am doing something wrong in the way i lobby for these. one of these innovations is for editors, and can be incorporated as a gadget (it is in hewiki, excpt it's one of the "default" gadgets, so it's available to anons also). the other 2 are for readers, and hence they only make sense if included in common.js. the 3 are:
i would appreciate your advice of what is the correct way of lobbying for usage of these and similar things in enwiki.

Hello again, I'm posting this here, because several helpful people who are scripting pros watch this page—so tho' you are probably swamped with more important stuff, someone else may help.
Wikipedia's advanced Special search allows one to search just part of Wikipedia, like Categories or Talk pages. I think it should be trivial for somebody with knowledge of MediaWiki programming to extend this so that a simple search box on the Teahouse top page searches just the Wikipedia:Teahouse Q&A archives, which are under Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions. The user interface of the top page has been changed such that at present this past questions archive page is just about impossible to find from the top page of Wikipedia:Teahouse, and there is no easy way for a new user to find his or her past question, or to browse past questions.
I asked Okeyes who suggested asking Maryana, who suggested that this is "not something you have to wait for an engineer to work on"—"a volunteer could do if he or she wanted", "you could try copying and pasting the template markup at the bottom of the MilHist navbox, for instance, and changing the relevant bits to point to Teahouse".
PS: I've just noticed that it's even simple than that: There is already a search box at Wikipedia_talk:Teahouse that could be transplanted (less the "archives" links) to the top page. I'll post this suggestion back to Maryana and also to the talk page. LittleBen ( talk) 20:29, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Songs From the Heart - George Jones.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:11, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry but I have just noticed that you wrote the code on the page MediaWiki:Common.js.

I am trying to get this function to work on one of the specific Wiki sites that I use (I also contribute towards Wikipedia), but am having difficulty.

Until now I thought "usebetatoolbar" (labeled "Enable enhanced editing toolbar" in preferences) activates the WikiEditor regardless of whether "showtoolbar" (labeled "Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)" in preferences) is set or not. Even if this seems a little redundant it's what I get (e.g. I have "showtoolbar" disabled). If this is always true I assume "showtoolbar" is not a requirement to get WikiEdtitor and your edit should be undone?

Motto of the Day ( WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “ This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.
Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
it appears that this change in CodeEditor is now live at the Commons. At least the code editor has disappeared for me. Reading bugzilla:45850 I get the impression that this is actually what you intended: people who don't use the "enhanced editing toolbar" can't use CodeEditor either.
What nonsense is this? I have been happily using CodeEditor, yet never felt the need to have more than a plain textarea for editing articles. I don't want to use an "enhanced editing toolbar" for normal article editing, but I do want to use the CodeEditor on JavaScript pages. (If only because allows me to insert tabs. The warnings are also nice. Never used that toolbar in the CodeEditor either.)
Please either have this undone, or add an additional setting in the Special:Preferences UI so that I can leave "enhanced toolbar" disabled, but have the code editor enabled all the same. Lupo 14:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
TheDJ, I was speaking with Spinningspark about the inline audio being used in the morse code page on the village pump and you entered the discussion for no other reason than to make an ad hom about my signature. That was disruptive, if you have problem with my signature drop a note off on my page, or if you really feel strongly about it, put a note on ANI, but don't disrupt a discussion on something else to do that. Yes, your text is still there, I didn't remove it or archive it in any fashion, I'm hoping you'll do that on your own. Thanks KoshVorlon Angeli i demoni kruzhili nado mnoj 18:25, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

TheDJ, Unsure if you're actively working on Geohack integration on mobile, but things are seeming a bit stale at the moment, would you be opposed to removing the icon/access from the mobile frontend (including alpha and beta) since the target pages are not mobile formatted, and at this point in time pretty unusable on mobile at all?

Hey TheDJ, I wanted to give my apologies for not getting this finished sooner. That is solely the fault of myself, and I apologize profusely. I've got the code editor icons mostly done, but I need to work on them a bit longer to make sure they're visible at very small resolutions. I was wondering if you wanted anything more than the icons mentioned on the Trello board, and if the 22px limitation was still relevant?
In case you'd forgotten about this, the Trello card is linked here.
Again, my sincerest apologies. I didn't plan to take nearly this long, but I'm not particularly experienced in working at such small resolutions, and have had to essentially start over when redesigning the icons to adhere to the style of other Wikimedia iconography. -- Nicereddy ( talk) 19:29, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi DJ, sure, I'd be happy to help out with any experiments to improve accessibility. As for the ARIA script, the landmarks read fine with JAWS. It is pretty nifty to be able to press a key and move to the different parts of the page instantly! Some of the landmarks seem a little redundant to me, but that is probably because I still use the Monobook skin which has more headings than Vector.

The Template:Lang title documentation does not state clearly where in the article the template is supposed to go. I wonder: is it supposed to be the first item in an article? Is there some way of finding out if it is used at all in English Wikipedia (i.e. does it set a category, as—I believe—Template:Lang does?) Background: Some diacritics-crazy people have been adding diacritics (including Vietnamese diacritics) to article titles.

To the language template genius: It's not urgent or essential that it be fixed, because I found a partial work-around, but I've just noticed that Template:Nihongo seems to have a bug: When I display it in my user sandbox there's no problem, example: Hepburn romanization system ( Japanese: ヘボン式ローマ字, Hepburn: Hebon-shiki Rōmaji)—but when the same template (with the same contents) is pasted into the lede of the Hepburn romanization article, the "Hepburn" appears in bold, and is not a link.

i think you are one of the technically savvy people in enwiki, and tend to participate in WP:VPT, so i approach you. you may not be the right person, or you may not be interested - that's understandable.
so here goes:
there are 3 different innovations that we started in hewiki and wanted to offer to enwiki. i posted about 2 of them in WP:VPT, but this did not go anywhere, even though the feedback was positive, so it seems i am doing something wrong in the way i lobby for these. one of these innovations is for editors, and can be incorporated as a gadget (it is in hewiki, excpt it's one of the "default" gadgets, so it's available to anons also). the other 2 are for readers, and hence they only make sense if included in common.js. the 3 are:

Hello again, I'm posting this here, because several helpful people who are scripting pros watch this page—so tho' you are probably swamped with more important stuff, someone else may help.
Wikipedia's advanced Special search allows one to search just part of Wikipedia, like Categories or Talk pages. I think it should be trivial for somebody with knowledge of MediaWiki programming to extend this so that a simple search box on the Teahouse top page searches just the Wikipedia:Teahouse Q&A archives, which are under Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions. The user interface of the top page has been changed such that at present this past questions archive page is just about impossible to find from the top page of Wikipedia:Teahouse, and there is no easy way for a new user to find his or her past question, or to browse past questions.
I asked Okeyes who suggested asking Maryana, who suggested that this is "not something you have to wait for an engineer to work on"—"a volunteer could do if he or she wanted", "you could try copying and pasting the template markup at the bottom of the MilHist navbox, for instance, and changing the relevant bits to point to Teahouse".
PS: I've just noticed that it's even simple than that: There is already a search box at Wikipedia_talk:Teahouse that could be transplanted (less the "archives" links) to the top page. I'll post this suggestion back to Maryana and also to the talk page. LittleBen ( talk) 20:29, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

A couple of years back, you moved some code from the monobook.css to the common.css, but it looks like .plainlinks2 got lost in the transition. monobook diff to common diff
Was this intentional? If not, could you reintroduce it, as it would be useful for {{ noping}}

Thanks for uploading File:Songs From the Heart - George Jones.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:11, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by the second example being keyboard-accessible, but I think most tables are anyway in good screen readers these days because they put webpages in a virtual buffer.

Sorry but I have just noticed that you wrote the code on the page MediaWiki:Common.js. Am I right in thinking that it is the code on that page, coupled with the code on the MediaWiki:Common.css page that causes 'Show' and 'Hide' boxes to be used across Wikipedia? I am trying to get this function to work on one of the specific Wiki sites that I use (I also contribute towards Wikipedia), but am having difficulty. I previously just copied your source code here, but I presume I now just have to copy the Common.css one too? And then everything will be working...?! A point in the right direction would be much appreciated. Dank u, met vriendelijke groet, Poiuytre ( talk) 02:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC).

I have been trying to get this script implemented which would display our chess games in a better fashion that which we currently have. Kipod has already got a script working in the testwiki, the documentation of which can be found at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chess#Pgnviewer_demo. Do you have time to and could you please check the script out so we can know what needs to be changed and what should be done before it can be suited to become a gadget? IF you can suggest anyone who can help, it will be great too.

I'm sure you remember taking part in the Village pump discussion about AJAX suggestions being forced upon users. I have not made any posts to it since 2013 because I read that WMF would not object to a suggestion-disabling gadget.

Hi Derk-Jan,
just a quick question: are you sure about
this edit?
Until now I thought "usebetatoolbar" (labeled "Enable enhanced editing toolbar" in preferences) activates the WikiEditor regardless of whether "showtoolbar" (labeled "Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript)" in preferences) is set or not. Even if this seems a little redundant it's what I get (e.g. I have "showtoolbar" disabled). If this is always true I assume "showtoolbar" is not a requirement to get WikiEdtitor and your edit should be undone?

Hi,
it appears that this change in CodeEditor is now live at the Commons. At least the code editor has disappeared for me. Reading bugzilla:45850 I get the impression that this is actually what you intended: people who don't use the "enhanced editing toolbar" can't use CodeEditor either.
What nonsense is this? I have been happily using CodeEditor, yet never felt the need to have more than a plain textarea for editing articles. I don't want to use an "enhanced editing toolbar" for normal article editing, but I do want to use the CodeEditor on JavaScript pages. (If only because allows me to insert tabs. The warnings are also nice. Never used that toolbar in the CodeEditor either.)
Please either have this undone, or add an additional setting in the Special:Preferences UI so that I can leave "enhanced toolbar" disabled, but have the code editor enabled all the same. Lupo 14:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
TheDJ, I was speaking with Spinningspark about the inline audio being used in the morse code page on the village pump and you entered the discussion for no other reason than to make an ad hom about my signature. That was disruptive, if you have problem with my signature drop a note off on my page, or if you really feel strongly about it, put a note on ANI, but don't disrupt a discussion on something else to do that. Yes, your text is still there, I didn't remove it or archive it in any fashion, I'm hoping you'll do that on your own. Thanks KoshVorlon Angeli i demoni kruzhili nado mnoj 18:25, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

TheDJ, Unsure if you're actively working on Geohack integration on mobile, but things are seeming a bit stale at the moment, would you be opposed to removing the icon/access from the mobile frontend (including alpha and beta) since the target pages are not mobile formatted, and at this point in time pretty unusable on mobile at all? The Mobile team will be spinning up a sub-team on mapping and geolocation in the coming fiscal year (~3-4 months from now) and a better mapping on mobile experience is one of their top priorities.

Hi, not sure if you had seen this question. That's it :) -- Elitre (WMF) ( talk) 09:12, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Hey TheDJ, I wanted to give my apologies for not getting this finished sooner. That is solely the fault of myself, and I apologize profusely. I've got the code editor icons mostly done, but I need to work on them a bit longer to make sure they're visible at very small resolutions. I was wondering if you wanted anything more than the icons mentioned on the Trello board, and if the 22px limitation was still relevant?
In case you'd forgotten about this, the Trello card is linked here.
Again, my sincerest apologies. I didn't plan to take nearly this long, but I'm not particularly experienced in working at such small resolutions, and have had to essentially start over when redesigning the icons to adhere to the style of other Wikimedia iconography. -- Nicereddy ( talk) 19:29, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
