I saw this edit by you and wanted to note a few things. Five years ago, I noted that we needed to start planning for a post-admin era. Five years later, and we're in the same place, if not worse. Back then, we had 525 active administrators. Now we're down to 468, a drop of 57...more than 10% of our admin corps. The situation continues to get worse. WP:RBM and WP:DBM both show we're in a crisis, but there's not enough things that are breaking to motivate people. There may never be enough; over at Commons there are deletion discussions awaiting closer by admins for 11 months. That's not even the worst backlog. It's not been enough to motivate Commons to do anything about it. Commons has become a failed project. I think it highly unlikely we are ever going to come up with a way to rejuvenate the admin corps. It's in a death spiral...a permanent one. So, yeah, I agree with you; we need to figure out a way to operate without administrators. I didn't want to post this one the WT:RESPONDER-RFC because it would have been a new section below the one you just started and might have distracted from it.

Hey. I made some changes to a fork of TimestampDiffs earlier in the year ( diff), for better handling when viewing archive pages. I think there are some cases where this fails, like if a bot edits a really old archive page which kinda screws up the rough timestamps on highly edited pages (eg really old archives of AN/ANI with lint errors etc), but on the whole seems to identify the revisions better than the core handling. Just letting you know in case you wanted to merge the changes into the main script. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 16:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

It seems to me that the edits by Rlink2 should be done by a bot account, but my knowledge of these things is limited. I wouldn't normally care, but I use Recent changes a fair amount and lately Rlink2 has dominated the entries. I filter out bots, but I can't filter out single users (AFAIK), and it renders Recent changes far less useful. You're in the bot approvals group, which I didn't even know existed until I checked policy just now (heh), so I thought I'd ask you what you think.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, just to let you know that I edited User:Enterprisey/copy-section-link.js just now to fix a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the hash part of the external URL. I managed to exploit this vulnerability on a private MediaWiki installation on my local PC by using a specially crafted heading containing JavaScript code. Let me know if you're interested in the details, and I'll share them with you. (I suppose I may as well share the details publicly now that the issue is fixed.)

Hi Enterprisey. Thank you for your courage to run in this year's ACE. This kind of scrutiny can sometimes be as challenging as an RfA - if not worse. Some candidates ran on a platform for changes in Arbcom. Now comes the cliff-hanger of waiting for the results. 52% of the votes were cast on day 1 of the ballot.

Hello!
I’m writing here to see if you would have any interest in helping to co-run an AFC backlog drive in either January or February. The AFC backlog (3 months, >2.8K articles to review) is getting to be pretty long. Would you be willing to help organize such a drive?
I also see that you’ve been recently appointed to ArbCom, and I know that that can take up a lot of time, so if you don’t have the time to help with running this it would make total sense. If that’s the case, would you be willing to give me any advice on how to formally organize a drive or on contacting key people to whom I should reach out?
Thank you for your time and contributions to Wikipedia. Happy reviewing!

Hey, Enterprisey,
First, congratulations on the ARBCOM position! I should also probably wish you good luck! I didn't even know the results were in until I saw the message on your talk page. Time to go see who the other lucky editors are.
My query though is about User:EnterpriseyBot/WiR report which I kind of stumbled upon. I was just curious what this report was all about. As much as I can figure out it is listing pages that have been tagged for speedy deletion that have taken a long time to be addressed. Is that correct?
I know you will be busy when January hits so I'm hoping for a reply before then. Thanks vey much! Liz Read! Talk! 00:50, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi! I'm User:Ed6767. I'm probably best known for founding and developing Wikipedia:RedWarn, which is now one of the most used user scripts on the English Wikipedia. I couldn't help but notice that you also develop user scripts, so I was wondering if I could ask you to try and give me feedback on my new tool called EasyWikiDev. It's a new way to develop user scripts quickly and easily using Visual Studio Code, and only takes a few minutes to set up and install on your computer, whilst saving you the headache of constantly having to save edits and reload the page for every single change to your script you'd like to test. EasyWikiDev makes it so you can develop your script locally, on your own computer, and only publish the changes to your users when you are ready to - and unlike other solutions, EasyWikiDev reloads the page right away when you make a change, so you always see the latest version of your script. Plus, by using Visual Studio Code, you have access to some of the most extensive and helpful extensions and tools available to developers right now.
If you're interested, you can find the GitHub repository here and a video tutorial that shows both how to set up EasyWikiDev and how to use it (which you should watch) here. When you have tried it and would like to give feedback, or just need help, please let me know by pinging me - you'd play a big part in my goal to make user script development easier for all Wikipedians. Thanks again for your consideration, ✨ Ed talk! ✨ 12:41, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

How did you create so many user scripts? What hand at coding! Is there a secret? ― Itcouldbepossible Talk 06:29, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
I'd be grateful for your advice, please, re User:HHHHHYYYY.
You will see that their contributions appear consistent, with identical edit summary, but they seem generally useful.
My concern is that the user may well be a (ro)bot, yet it appears to be unregistered, and the edit summary is unhelpful.
I know little about bots, so thought I should consult an expert.
This ES search shows some 2,158 edits that caught my eye, the oldest being this one.
If you'd like me to report this somewhere more appropriate, fair play; I am out of my comfort zone!.

Hi Enterprisey, a request for protecting Template:Userscript (indefinite template-editor protection) is currently at WP:RFPP. The alleged need comes from MediaWiki:Gadget-script-installer.js, which can allegedly be tricked into installing malicious scripts by modifying the template. To me personally, this makes no sense: It's either a security issue in the gadget or something that can be done without template modification. Your input would be welcome at WP:RFPP. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 23:29, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
On my user page, I added the vandalism level template to check. On my most recent visit to the page, I saw that it showed a "moderate" level of vandalism. I'm not sure what it exactly means; I don't make disruptive edits or any of that stuff for that matter. Can someone please explain this to me? Would it be restoring edits or reverts? An explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your response. Losipov ( talk) 17:51, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes

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, there seems to be an error with your bot. If I'm reading the
approval for Task 10 correctly, The task removes an inaccurate class (stub, start, etc.) from redirects.
However, as of yesterday it is removing class=redirect
parameters, which doesn't seem to be the intended purpose. I can't seem to find any discussions where the scope of Task 10 was changed or where a consensus was formed against using the redirect class in article assessment. So is this an intentional change or an error?

Bots Newsletter, January 2022 | ||
---|---|---|
Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever. Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020. Overall January 2020
February 2020
March 2020

Hello. I've been trying to patrol it for a long time, but the only method I've been able to use is through SWViewer, because the page takes too long to load, sometimes it gives errors in the software and it takes too long to update. Im not an expert on the subject of the Wikipedia interface precisely, but what I want to say is that if you can't see if there is a fault in the software, because the page does not work correctly and makes maintenance very difficult. And no, its not my hardware or my device, because those types of pages work normally in the rest of the wikis, but not here (enwiki).

Hi Enterprisey: I just wanted to let you know that I adjusted your collapse box in the MoS discussion in order to allow the first few comments to show, since they were on-topic the editorial issue being discussed: policy does not permit collapsing merely because of length, unless the editor whose comments are being suppressed agrees it is appropriate: the relevant policy language can be found in WP:TPG. I agree that much of the discussion that followed was superfluous and led to no real progress on the underlying editorial issue, so I left that portion collapsed, but that spiraling meta exchange occurred specifically because another editor attempted to collapse the actual relevant discussion. I believe this is the appropriate balance, but I wanted to let you know, insofar as it is your name on the header of that box, as you signed it. Let me know if you'd rather I put my name there given the changed span of the box. SnowRise let's rap 03:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I have made attempt to chat with him on his chat page and he didn’t cared about and still reverted the edits and in the past he has got several warning for edits. I want to report this user. I dont know how I can. Admins please help and look into this matter. 649pardeep ( talk) 07:31, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi! Not sure if you're the right person to ask, so feel free to point me elsewhere if so, but I've been trying to make some changes to the AfC script and noticed a weird behavior during testing. On testwiki, when I run the script, talkText in the talk page handling inside handleAccept (starting line 2266 of submissions.js) is always an empty string, even if there's something on the talk page. Since I'm trying to work with WikiProject banners this is making testing almost impossible - do you know what might be going on here? Rusalkii ( talk) 06:39, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey Enterprisey. Sorry to bug you, you're probably really busy. There's some open patches in the AFCH repo on GitHub (oldest is 6 months) and I was wondering if you wanted some help going through them. Myself (github NovemLinguae) and/or Ingenuity (github IngenuityWP) are both willing to help test and approve patches if you'd like. Would just need maintainer access. If not no worries.

I saw this edit by you and wanted to note a few things. Five years ago, I noted that we needed to start planning for a post-admin era. Five years later, and we're in the same place, if not worse. Back then, we had 525 active administrators. Now we're down to 468, a drop of 57...more than 10% of our admin corps. The situation continues to get worse. WP:RBM and WP:DBM both show we're in a crisis, but there's not enough things that are breaking to motivate people. There may never be enough; over at Commons there are deletion discussions awaiting closer by admins for 11 months. That's not even the worst backlog. It's not been enough to motivate Commons to do anything about it. Commons has become a failed project. I think it highly unlikely we are ever going to come up with a way to rejuvenate the admin corps. It's in a death spiral...a permanent one. So, yeah, I agree with you; we need to figure out a way to operate without administrators. I didn't want to post this one the WT:RESPONDER-RFC because it would have been a new section below the one you just started and might have distracted from it.

Hey. I made some changes to a fork of TimestampDiffs earlier in the year ( diff), for better handling when viewing archive pages. I think there are some cases where this fails, like if a bot edits a really old archive page which kinda screws up the rough timestamps on highly edited pages (eg really old archives of AN/ANI with lint errors etc), but on the whole seems to identify the revisions better than the core handling. Just letting you know in case you wanted to merge the changes into the main script. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 16:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

It seems to me that the edits by Rlink2 should be done by a bot account, but my knowledge of these things is limited. I wouldn't normally care, but I use Recent changes a fair amount and lately Rlink2 has dominated the entries. I filter out bots, but I can't filter out single users (AFAIK), and it renders Recent changes far less useful. You're in the bot approvals group, which I didn't even know existed until I checked policy just now (heh), so I thought I'd ask you what you think.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, just to let you know that I edited User:Enterprisey/copy-section-link.js just now to fix a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the hash part of the external URL. I managed to exploit this vulnerability on a private MediaWiki installation on my local PC by using a specially crafted heading containing JavaScript code.

Hi Enterprisey. Thank you for your courage to run in this year's ACE. This kind of scrutiny can sometimes be as challenging as an RfA - if not worse. Some candidates ran on a platform for changes in Arbcom. Now comes the cliff-hanger of waiting for the results. 52% of the votes were cast on day 1 of the ballot.

Hello!
I’m writing here to see if you would have any interest in helping to co-run an AFC backlog drive in either January or February. The AFC backlog (3 months, >2.8K articles to review) is getting to be pretty long. Would you be willing to help organize such a drive?
I also see that you’ve been recently appointed to ArbCom, and I know that that can take up a lot of time, so if you don’t have the time to help with running this it would make total sense. If that’s the case, would you be willing to give me any advice on how to formally organize a drive or on contacting key people to whom I should reach out?
Thank you for your time and contributions to Wikipedia. Happy reviewing!

Hey, Enterprisey,
First, congratulations on the ARBCOM position! I should also probably wish you good luck! I didn't even know the results were in until I saw the message on your talk page. Time to go see who the other lucky editors are.
My query though is about User:EnterpriseyBot/WiR report which I kind of stumbled upon. I was just curious what this report was all about. As much as I can figure out it is listing pages that have been tagged for speedy deletion that have taken a long time to be addressed. Is that correct?
I know you will be busy when January hits so I'm hoping for a reply before then. Thanks vey much! Liz Read! Talk! 00:50, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi! I'm User:Ed6767. I'm probably best known for founding and developing Wikipedia:RedWarn, which is now one of the most used user scripts on the English Wikipedia. I couldn't help but notice that you also develop user scripts, so I was wondering if I could ask you to try and give me feedback on my new tool called EasyWikiDev. It's a new way to develop user scripts quickly and easily using Visual Studio Code, and only takes a few minutes to set up and install on your computer, whilst saving you the headache of constantly having to save edits and reload the page for every single change to your script you'd like to test. EasyWikiDev makes it so you can develop your script locally, on your own computer, and only publish the changes to your users when you are ready to - and unlike other solutions, EasyWikiDev reloads the page right away when you make a change, so you always see the latest version of your script. Plus, by using Visual Studio Code, you have access to some of the most extensive and helpful extensions and tools available to developers right now.
If you're interested, you can find the GitHub repository here and a video tutorial that shows both how to set up EasyWikiDev and how to use it (which you should watch) here. When you have tried it and would like to give feedback, or just need help, please let me know by pinging me - you'd play a big part in my goal to make user script development easier for all Wikipedians. Thanks again for your consideration, ✨ Ed talk! ✨ 12:41, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

How did you create so many user scripts? What hand at coding! Is there a secret? ― Itcouldbepossible Talk 06:29, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
I'd be grateful for your advice, please, re User:HHHHHYYYY.
You will see that their contributions appear consistent, with identical edit summary, but they seem generally useful.
My concern is that the user may well be a (ro)bot, yet it appears to be unregistered, and the edit summary is unhelpful.
I know little about bots, so thought I should consult an expert.
This ES search shows some 2,158 edits that caught my eye, the oldest being this one.
If you'd like me to report this somewhere more appropriate, fair play; I am out of my comfort zone!.

Hi Enterprisey, a request for protecting Template:Userscript (indefinite template-editor protection) is currently at WP:RFPP. The alleged need comes from MediaWiki:Gadget-script-installer.js, which can allegedly be tricked into installing malicious scripts by modifying the template. To me personally, this makes no sense: It's either a security issue in the gadget or something that can be done without template modification. Your input would be welcome at WP:RFPP. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 23:29, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
On my user page, I added the vandalism level template to check. On my most recent visit to the page, I saw that it showed a "moderate" level of vandalism.

An explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your response. Losipov ( talk) 17:51, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes

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, there seems to be an error with your bot. If I'm reading the
approval for Task 10 correctly, The task removes an inaccurate class (stub, start, etc.) from redirects.
However, as of yesterday it is removing class=redirect
parameters, which doesn't seem to be the intended purpose. I can't seem to find any discussions where the scope of Task 10 was changed or where a consensus was formed against using the redirect class in article assessment. So is this an intentional change or an error?

Bots Newsletter, January 2022 | ||
---|---|---|
Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever. Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020. Overall January 2020
February 2020

Hello. I've been trying to patrol it for a long time, but the only method I've been able to use is through SWViewer, because the page takes too long to load, sometimes it gives errors in the software and it takes too long to update. Im not an expert on the subject of the Wikipedia interface precisely, but what I want to say is that if you can't see if there is a fault in the software, because the page does not work correctly and makes maintenance very difficult. And no, its not my hardware or my device, because those types of pages work normally in the rest of the wikis, but not here (enwiki). I will appreciate your attention. -Alabama- (Talk) 00:21, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

EnterpriseyBot's task "Update
WiR CSD report" failed to run per the configuration specified at
Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 week, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the
task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify=
parameter from the {{/task}}
template. Thanks! –

Hi Enterprisey: I just wanted to let you know that I adjusted your collapse box in the MoS discussion in order to allow the first few comments to show, since they were on-topic the editorial issue being discussed: policy does not permit collapsing merely because of length, unless the editor whose comments are being suppressed agrees it is appropriate: the relevant policy language can be found in WP:TPG. I agree that much of the discussion that followed was superfluous and led to no real progress on the underlying editorial issue, so I left that portion collapsed, but that spiraling meta exchange occurred specifically because another editor attempted to collapse the actual relevant discussion. I believe this is the appropriate balance, but I wanted to let you know, insofar as it is your name on the header of that box, as you signed it. Let me know if you'd rather I put my name there given the changed span of the box. SnowRise let's rap 03:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey, you blocked this user earlier today, could you (or a talk page watcher) revdel their edits? They may qualify for oversight as well. Thanks, ansh. 666 08:46, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi Enterprisey. On the delsort program, it seems when I only change an AFD category and not add the AFD to a deletion sorting page, an unintended error message is added to the AFD discussion. This didn't happen before, and has already happened to both me and Engr. Smitty on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vettuva Gounder. Any timetable on a fix for this recently introduced bug? Thanks!

, and that template with no cats specified displays a big red error. Long story short, here's the fix. Add after line 374: if ( Array.isArray(cats) && ! cats.length ) return '';

Andrewgprout is reverting edits from Chandigarh - Vistara operates UK707 using A321N IXC-DEL-CCU with same aircraft, same flight number and pax does not disembark from plane. I have made attempt to chat with him on his chat page and he didn’t cared about and still reverted the edits and in the past he has got several warning for edits. I want to report this user. I dont know how I can. Admins please help and look into this matter. 649pardeep ( talk) 07:31, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi! Not sure if you're the right person to ask, so feel free to point me elsewhere if so, but I've been trying to make some changes to the AfC script and noticed a weird behavior during testing. On testwiki, when I run the script, talkText in the talk page handling inside handleAccept (starting line 2266 of submissions.js) is always an empty string, even if there's something on the talk page. Since I'm trying to work with WikiProject banners this is making testing almost impossible - do you know what might be going on here? Rusalkii ( talk) 06:39, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

The list of delsorts on your delsort.js script needs to be updated. I recently opened new delsorts for Oman and several Indian states. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 20:07, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Was curious and tried out the tool; it seems to not be registering new votes starting on June 9 for most users I've tested. Is this because the tool is only run periodically, or because toolforge is down or something? Iseult Δx parlez moi 05:37, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey Enterprisey, hope you are well. It seems as if
Recently Active Oversighters is not showing any active Oversighters. It might be an issue with the usergroup name change to suppress
instead of oversight
. I posted this on Github as well, see
here. Thanks! --

Hey Enterprisey. Sorry to bug you, you're probably really busy. There's some open patches in the AFCH repo on GitHub (oldest is 6 months) and I was wondering if you wanted some help going through them. Myself (github NovemLinguae) and/or Ingenuity (github IngenuityWP) are both willing to help test and approve patches if you'd like. Would just need maintainer access. If not no worries. Thanks. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 01:25, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
