Hey. In this edit you posted Wikipedia:RFA_reform#By_topic#slowly unbundling. Did you mean to post slowly unbundling (pipe rather than have a second #)? -- DannyS712 ( talk) 06:23, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Enterprisey, I've nominated you for bureaucratship at Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Enterprisey. Make sure to accept the nomination before it's transcluded at 23:12, 26 January 2019 (UTC). Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:04, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi Enterprisey, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations for both your successful nomination and for your place on WP:RFX200 - an impressive feat after your landslide of a victory! As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin help pages are most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project.

By my calculations, for this RfA to fail now you need 135 more opposes in about 15 minutes. That's an oppose every six seconds. The software can't cope with that, even allowing for edit conflicts so ... welcome to the admin corps, carefully, and please apply for interface admin so I can resign my privs (as I won't need them if you have them).

See this edit. I first selected Reject, then switched to Decline (or maybe it was the other way around?). I was surprised when I switched that it lost the text I had begun to type, so I re-entered it.

Hi, Enterprisey, I have a suggestion for an enhancement to the script. Yesterday I declined an unblock request and hoped that a blank decline would insert {{
subst:Decline reason here}}
, so I then had to go back and add it myself. I'm not sure which would be a better approach, but if the script could either load that as a default decline reason (as with the default decline code attached to {{
unblock}}
), or to have a checkbox to select it, it would make the script slightly more helpful. Thanks for this and your other excellent tools. —

Hey. I saw your newest update. I think you made a small mistake with var CCLEAN_TPL = "Cclean";
. Since this is used to make the link (line 132), shouldn't it be var CCLEAN_TPL = "Template:Cclean";

Template:Cclean). Thanks, --

I think it was actually correct before Special:diff/881960888. At least, now it's telling me that every userscript is insecure. Though if this script is to become a gadget, I question if it's a good idea to allow installation of non-User, non-MediaWiki pages at all; that kind of defeats the purpose of having intadmins in the first place, and the current text that pops up doesn't explain to new users why it's insecure. Suffusion of Yellow ( talk) 23:25, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Obviously, from your RfA, I know that you are good at developing user scripts.

Hey. I wanted to ask if you could include a feature in your redirect script. Currently, at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects, there are buttons to request new categories and new redirects.

Hello Enterprisey, you have probably other things on your mind with your RfA (glad to see it is going so well), but here is an additional suggestion to save a bit more time for copyvio maintenance editors: when using cv-revdel it would be very helpful to also substitute Template:Cclean in the article's talkpage, with the URL value from your script interface given as parameter for "url=" (see template documentation). This additional message should be optional though, as sometimes such an additional info might not make sense and just bloat the talkpage (maybe trigger it with a checkbox somewhere near the URL field in your script UI). Of course this is just a random idea, but it would be great if it would be possible to semi-automate this additional step as well. GermanJoe ( talk) 19:56, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Can you determine why Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Superior Glove isn't showing up in my afdstats? I thought it was due to the use of a source assess table partway through and did this, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything.

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. |

Hi Enterprisey, it looks like several people are using your script - however it does not make use of the standard Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/InputInit values (namely it does not include namespace).

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:58, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
Do you have any idea why my vote at Articles for deletion/2019–20 Eredivisie is not being parsed? -- qedk ( t 桜 c) 18:05, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Enterprisey,
Just thought I'd drop you a note that part of the phase-2 talk page discussions involves discussion on easier replying.

Hello Enterprisey, you have probably other things on your mind with your RfA (glad to see it is going so well), but here is an additional suggestion to save a bit more time for copyvio maintenance editors: when using cv-revdel it would be very helpful to also substitute Template:Cclean in the article's talkpage, with the URL value from your script interface given as parameter for "url=" (see template documentation). This additional message should be optional though, as sometimes such an additional info might not make sense and just bloat the talkpage (maybe trigger it with a checkbox somewhere near the URL field in your script UI). Of course this is just a random idea, but it would be great if it would be possible to semi-automate this additional step as well. GermanJoe ( talk) 19:56, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
Your table at the top of WP:BOTREQ is claiming that a request has -1 comments. You might want to fix that. Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 05:57, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

I saw you first in RfA, and then, I am very much inspired by you and your work in Wikipedia.
Happy Adminship ahead. SouravDas1998 t@lk to me? 19:41, 21 January 2019 (UTC) |

Regarding User:Enterprisey/reply-link.js after adding the reply it reloads the entire page. Would you like to retrieve the HTML contents of one section via AJAX instead? Here is an example: User:Gryllida/js/ajaxSectionUpdateOnDoubleClick.js.

Hi Enterprisey!
Can you determine why Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Superior Glove isn't showing up in my afdstats? I thought it was due to the use of a source assess table partway through and did this, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything.
Many thanks,

I was looking for the button to thank you for accepting
my pull request on
GitHub, but then I remembered it wasn't Wikipedia.
So... Thank you for accepting my pull request!! :D – MJL ‐Talk‐ ☖ 05:38, 10 March 2019 (UTC) |
Hi there,
Could you check to see whether AfD Stats isn't working or if it's just an issue on my side.
I'm getting a 503 warning and the page indicates there is "no webservice / no web interface"

mw.loader.getScript
has been added to mw.loader
, closing
a feature request from 2010. It allows users to load a script via URL (like mw.loader.load()
) and specify a callback function (like mw.loader.using()
). See

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. |

Hi Enterprisey, it looks like several people are using your script - however it does not make use of the standard Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/InputInit values (namely it does not include namespace). Can you fix this (or better make use of the actual InputInit page dynamically)? — xaosflux Talk 22:18, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:58, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
Do you have any idea why my vote at Articles for deletion/2019–20 Eredivisie is not being parsed? -- qedk ( t 桜 c) 18:05, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Enterprisey,
Just thought I'd drop you a note that part of the phase-2 talk page discussions involves discussion on easier replying. While this was originally in the form of finding out details on if something should be created, it has unsurprisingly occurred to editors that this sounds rather like re-inventing the wheel Nosebagbear ( talk) 13:38, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
