How can I create a list of article that need edits on a campaign meta Page -- Inyor4mr ( talk) 12:14, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Inyor4mr Hi. If you want to get a list of articles in a category / tagged with some templates, you can use Wikipedia:PetScan. For more complicated search, you can also use Quarry to query the Wikipedia database, you can use Wikipedia:Request_a_query to request queries for that.

Hello, I am an artist that was advised to make a Wikipedia page. I see there is a pop up that says it is "unconstructive." Most of the Bio is informational to be optimized online so that my identity corresponds with me as an artist. May I know where is the template or link to copy and paste /info/en/?search=User:Ta_0003/sandbox

so that the title and page shows the username removed from the top and the page published correctly in the proper format? -- Ta 0003 ( talk) 20:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello, you’re apparently my mentor, so I have a quick question. First some background, I found a source about a seemingly notable beach patrol, Long Beach Township Beach Patrol, and I expanded the article on it, but it got reverted. If the patrol was noted as, “one of the biggest and oldest beach patrols in America” by the Philadelphia Inquirer, should the article be added back? -- Wranlo ( talk) 23:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi @ Wranlo. Claims like “one of the biggest and oldest beach patrols in America” do not directly imply notability. Please take a look at WP:N and find sources to support notability. Feel free to ask me any questions again using your original account once it gets unblocked. 94rain ^Talk 03:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu ( talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

Newly maintained scripts

After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...

• Aaron Liu has created What redirects here from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; his fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.
• Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
• AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
• Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.

Improve a script

Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
• To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
• We want...

• ...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Requested scripts

• A simple script to second or archive proposed deletions
• A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo
• A WP:3O response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
• A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

New scripts

• DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filters.
• Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use m:Web2Cit (which WP:ProveIt also uses) instead of mw:Citoid to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
• Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!

• 

  Doǵu/Adiutor (pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.

• 

  Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
  • /afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
  • /ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
  • /redirect-helper (pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
  • /rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.

• 

  Guycn2/UserInfoPopup (pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
• Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
• Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
• Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.

• 

  NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest (pictured) generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
• PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
• Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD nominations.
• Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
• Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

Edit-listings

• Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
• Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
• Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
  • Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine actually works, pending a fix to T292764.
• NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

Appearance-ricing

• Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
• Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
• GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the [ reply ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess? ^Joke

• 

  Jonesey/common (pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
  • Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
• Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
• Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
• For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
• Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
• Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing Tab ↹ toggle the visibility of the tiny [ ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
• The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

Permissions required!

• Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.

• 

  Dragoniez
  • /AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
  • /Selective Rollback (pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
• Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

QOL shortcuts

• BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
• DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
• DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
• ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions.
• Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
• FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
• Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another Clear button on top of the Lua module debug console.
• Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist next to the normal watchlist.
• Nardog
  • PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
  • Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE and fix them as much as possible.
• Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS.
• Suntooooth
  • /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
  • /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
• Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{ fix}} templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

The article name is Kourage Beatz NSI and was first created by Tochi Clement and deleted and created too many times and protected. When I first tried to create the page, it was protected, so I contacted the admin on there talk page and explain everything, I was allowed to create the draft. While I summited the page for review, my account was banned for sockpuppet. I tried requesting for unban but I was asked to request from my original account for the standard offer. The reason I'm still trying to recreate the page is because he is a popular producer in Nigeria and has awards to his name and I believe it will be ok to add his article to Wikipedia.

"While I summited the page for review, my account was banned for sockpuppet" What's that account? For whatever reasons that you have been blocked, even unfair blocks, you still need to appeal from the original account. Otherwise, it'd be considered as WP:Block evasion. 94rain ^Talk 06:10, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I did, I appealed from the original account, which was the account I used to summit my draft for review and I was replied to "request appeal from the original account" but the account I used to summit the draft was my original account. W 0 N D E R B O $ $ $ ( talk) 07:45, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello 94rain,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day.

Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hi @ Meridianmaple. You can take a look at WP:FAQ/Organization. Let me know if you have any specific questions! 94rain ^Talk 15:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi, I got a question regarding adding a language. I added the English version of a German article about a company called Nanoscribe. I work with their devices in my research and think it's worth to mention them in English wikipedia too. But I don't know how to connect these two articles with each other. Could you help me? -- 3DmicroPrintExpert ( talk) 11:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi @ 3DmicroPrintExpert. Welcome to Wikipedia! The page about Wikipedia:Wikidata should answer your questions. If you still have questions, feel free to let me know! 94rain ^Talk 09:01, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi 94rain,

When creating an article in the user sandbox and then going to submit it as a draft via the link in the user sandbox infobox, the draft title is listed as "User:Edittlealittle/sandbox"

Should I keep this as is or should I be using a different page instead to submit a draft so that the page title matches the content of the article?

Thanks:) -- Edittlealittle ( talk) 22:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi @ Edittlealittle. Welcome to Wikipedia! Yes, it's fine to just keep it under the sandbox title for now. When the draft gets accepted, it will be moved to the correct title. If you have questions about writing the draft, feel free to let me know! 94rain ^Talk 09:03, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi I wanted to add an information about myself and my family on here, can you help ? Thank you in advance -- EhudMarciano ( talk) 02:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi @ EhudMarciano. Welcome to Wikipedia. The following two links may be helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions!

• The information in your article about me is wrong. How can I get it fixed?
• Can I start an article about myself or my company?

What else do I have to add to this article Draft:Kourage Beatz Nsi to make it notable. I've already added notable people he has worked with and his his albums that have charted on popular charts. -- W 0 N D E R B O $ $ $ ( talk) 16:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi @ Wonderbosss. You should add references that show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 94rain ^Talk 17:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

94rain, please look at this article Draft:Kourage Beatz Nsi and tell me places that still needs to be added more sources. W 0 N D E R B O $ $ $ ( talk) 17:50, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

when i google my title it does not show on google page for wiki, how do i fix that or how do edit title search? -- Hot92texoma ( talk) 15:10, 21 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi @ Hot92texoma. Generally speaking, drafts and user space pages are not indexed. You'll need to get the draft published to the article space in order to get the page indexed. Please see WP:SEO for more info. 94rain ^Talk 07:04, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I need to add a citation, pointing to the birth record of Vesta Tilley showing the birth address, which has been given incorrectly as Commandery Street. This is a national Record Office document, available only upon payment. Should I quote the route to it thus: (BIRTHS: POWLES, Matilda Alice, Worcester, JUN 1864, Vol 6c, P323). It would not be a hyperlink. -- RuffledParrot ( talk) 18:55, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi @ RuffledParrot. Welcome to Wikipedia! Is the national Record Office document available online? If so, you can just link that page even it says it requires payment. If not, it's still fine if there's no hyperlink. See also Wikipedia:Verifiability#Access_to_sources 94rain ^Talk 07:08, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply
