Hey Evad, would you have any interest in adopting User:Kephir/gadgets/rater, a tool used to quickly "rate" and organize WikiProject banners? It's an immensely helpful tool (even though I think we'd all be better off if all WikiProject rating was shipped off to Wikidata...) and still widely used despite being abandoned (note the number of unanswered talk page questions). Imagine you're plenty busy maintaining the other now-vital gadgets that you do, but if you see an opportunity to patch up a script in need of some love, the result would be put to good use. czar 02:33, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Everyone, can we put each bug report and feature request into an individual ==level 2== section (like we do on
WT:XFDC)? It's a bit overwhelming having everything in one unorganised section. Plus that way, once issues are resolved the section can be marked as such and then archived. (I've pulled out what I can see that's not resolved; if I missed anything just add it in a new section below) -

ORES predicts the Alodia (currently rated B-class) as "FA". Does the ORES auto-fill know to max out at B-class? I would personally recommend the autofill just enter "start"-class for anything ORES rates above Stub-class, just because C- and B-class do involve editor discretion that many editors may not be prepared to judge. (Only exception would be when the article has already been rated, e.g., if the other banners read B-class for Alodia, additional banners should autofill to B-class.) Perhaps the ORES text should link to a page that describes how ORES works? Who knows, if ORES ends up relatively inaccurate, might be better to scrap it altogether—wouldn't want editors to feel prompted by ORES to label articles as FA-class out of the blue czar 06:41, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

ORES recommends "stub" on Redirect pages. The script can either autofill "Redirect" or, preferably I think, autofill nothing, as many banners either handle redirects automatically (template does the detection) or not at all. If you choose "autofill nothing", it would be nice to acknowledge that the script detected a redirect and that redirects are often automatically categorized without params (is there a better way to communicate this?), perhaps in the space where the ORES evaluation previously went. czar 18:24, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

The "listas" autofill part of WikiProject Biography is awesome, but it has a really bad bug. It doesn't save the "listas" parameter unless you click on the autofilled name when in the rater. I need to go back and fix all of the biographies I have been rating, because most of them were autofilled correctly (because your autofill is AWESOME) and I didn't need to modify them. But because I didn't click on them or modify them, the parameter was not saved. — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 00:58, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Can you set up a togglable (default off) ability to have the rater check to see if the talk page has zero wikiprojects and automatically pop itself up if there are none found? This would be an awesome feature. I personally would just leave it on all the time, then whenever I stumble across a page that doesn't have any WikiProjects I would then be prompted to rate it, and it would also cut out the step of initializing the rater manually when I am patrolling new pages.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Insertcleverphrasehere ( talk • contribs)

After clicking save, users must manually click the 'close' button.

Is there any way to exclude disambiguation pages, or at least to warn editors that new talk pages shouldn't be created if they will only contain the {{ WikiProject Disambiguation}} banner? The reason for that is explained in the template's documentation, but it amounts to: 1) the banner serves on purpose (tracking is done via the article category), and 2) some editors find it to be a minor nuisance. – Uanfala (talk) 20:04, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi everyone watching this page. The latest version of the script should have improved load times on average. I've implemented some caching so that it doesn't need to request fresh data from the API every time it loads. The improvement on pages which have {{ MILHIST}} banners should be quite dramatic, as that one always seems to take a very long time to process (and is probably the main cause behind the slowness reported in § Load time and blp parameter in banner shell above). The more you use the script, and the more banners you encounter, the faster the script should be, generally. (pinging @ Sam Sailor and LittlePuppers) - Evad37 [ talk 03:32, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

even if ORES predicts B and another project's rating is C, it still autofills as Start– That's a bug, if there's a rating from another project banner the script is supposed to use that instead of ORES. - Evad37 [ talk 05:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Sometimes I find myself in a situation where I want to unset all ratings on a page, for example when the importance is automatically filled in for a bunch of wikiprojects. At the moment this requires unsetting them all manually, or setting all the parameters to something and then setting them to nothing. What would be useful is an "Unset" option for the set all box, which would save time. Danski454 ( talk) 20:00, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
Some WikiProject templates do not have importance parameters (e.g. {{ WikiProject Biography}}). If an importance parameter is added, and the user tries to remove it using rater, then the program crashes when generating an edit summary. This also occurs when removing the class parameter from {{ WikiProject Essays}}. The error is at lines 1046 and 1047.
This could probably be fixed by adding && banner.parameters.class
and && banner.parameters.importance
to the conditions.

I make my decisions on importance based mainly on 3 factors--traffic, importance to the project's discipline (which is sort of like anticipating traffic if the article is better linked-to), and which projects have the most responsibility for the article based on content. Pageview count is a huge part of my assessments, there is no access key for it, and I have to open it in a new tab. It really slows me down. I would estimate that I could probably rate another 25% to 30% more articles in an hour if pageviews were just easy to see in the panel. I am NOT asking for machine-generated importance ratings. I think that would not be good. I'm asking for you to provide the information to users, that's all. I would trade waiting a little longer for it to load, by the way. It's almost certainly faster than me doing it manually. Anyway, thanks again for Rater! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prometheus720 ( talk • contribs) 16:06, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

It is a very complicated wikiproject and I just received another talk page message about the incorrect assessments from Rater when I just take the defaults. The details are here on my talk page.
@ Adamdaley: has alerted me several times of these errors. It would be helpful in Rater if that wikiproject was hilighted so I can then "Cancel" Rater & let someone else (an expert) deal with the article. Note: the backlog at Category:Unassessed biography articles was previously over 80,000. Yesterday I just completed the Hs & am now working on letter Is.
Rater is a really great tool for being able to quickly do assessments on a large number of articles. Many articles in the backlog are awaiting assessments for 1 to 2 years! Regards, JoeHebda ( talk) 16:19, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

This was brought up before and I think there was some confusion about how this can be implemented. As far as I understand, it's a relatively minor but useful change. API supports a parameter that overrides the watchlist action. It would be really useful to have at least the "don't change watchlist" option, otherwise all pages get watchlisted for those who have auto-watchlist enabled. The old rater used watchlist: 'nochange'
for the edit post and so didn't watchlist pages automatically. Many other tools/script do this too. To avoid forking (and maintaining) the whole script just for one change, could this be added as an optional setting? —

Thanks Evad37 for above improvements. Firstly, I let those Button widgets & labels default back to bold. Then I changed line-height. Next, I adjusted rater window vheight. Lastly, I changed background-color on those popups - contrast makes it easier to read. When I first time click on "+ Add parameter" it correctly opens up a new line, however I have to then click on "parameter name" box to open it up. It would be helpful if Rater can automaticly add that line And open with cursor parked inside that location (parm.name). Maybe it's just me getting used to "the new look & feel" but Rater seems to be faster than before. When this new verion "goes live" these changes for my common.css should still be effective.

Check example at Talk:Owen Magee. The class-b checklist displays as "b1=y" for 1 thru 5, yet rater displays those plus new buttons for "B-Class-1" thru "B-Class-5", all set to No. These additional buttons are not needed as the plain "b1=" are sufficient.

I'm encountering an issue ( Example here) using Rater to add project banners to redirects when their Talk pages are themselves redirects. I believe the template calls need to be placed below the magic word, but currently they're placed above it which then breaks the redirect. I can't recall encountering this issue in the mainline version of the gadget, but that may be the result of the infrequency of this edge case. The new version is coming along nicely; I'm quite enjoying the more polished interface and much improved UI text readability. I'm not sure if it's been brought up already, but am I mistaken in thinking that the old version would remove parameter names from the list once they had been applied to a particular template? I don't know that I can precisely articulate why I preferred that behavior, but I do. That's the only quibble I have with it currently. Thanks again for all your work on this, it really is a fantastic tool. — ⚞ ℛogueScholar 🐈 ₨🗩 ⚟ 01:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey Evad, would you have any interest in adopting User:Kephir/gadgets/rater, a tool used to quickly "rate" and organize WikiProject banners? It's an immensely helpful tool (even though I think we'd all be better off if all WikiProject rating was shipped off to Wikidata...) and still widely used despite being abandoned (note the number of unanswered talk page questions). Imagine you're plenty busy maintaining the other now-vital gadgets that you do, but if you see an opportunity to patch up a script in need of some love, the result would be put to good use. czar 02:33, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

ORES predicts the Alodia (currently rated B-class) as "FA". Does the ORES auto-fill know to max out at B-class? I would personally recommend the autofill just enter "start"-class for anything ORES rates above Stub-class, just because C- and B-class do involve editor discretion that many editors may not be prepared to judge. (Only exception would be when the article has already been rated, e.g., if the other banners read B-class for Alodia, additional banners should autofill to B-class.) Perhaps the ORES text should link to a page that describes how ORES works? Who knows, if ORES ends up relatively inaccurate, might be better to scrap it altogether—wouldn't want editors to feel prompted by ORES to label articles as FA-class out of the blue czar 06:41, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

ORES recommends "stub" on Redirect pages. The script can either autofill "Redirect" or, preferably I think, autofill nothing, as many banners either handle redirects automatically (template does the detection) or not at all. If you choose "autofill nothing", it would be nice to acknowledge that the script detected a redirect and that redirects are often automatically categorized without params (is there a better way to communicate this?), perhaps in the space where the ORES evaluation previously went. czar 18:24, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Is there any way to exclude disambiguation pages, or at least to warn editors that new talk pages shouldn't be created if they will only contain the {{ WikiProject Disambiguation}} banner? The reason for that is explained in the template's documentation, but it amounts to: 1) the banner serves on purpose (tracking is done via the article category), and 2) some editors find it to be a minor nuisance. – Uanfala (talk) 20:04, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi everyone watching this page. The latest version of the script should have improved load times on average. I've implemented some caching so that it doesn't need to request fresh data from the API every time it loads. The improvement on pages which have {{ MILHIST}} banners should be quite dramatic, as that one always seems to take a very long time to process (and is probably the main cause behind the slowness reported in § Load time and blp parameter in banner shell above). The more you use the script, and the more banners you encounter, the faster the script should be, generally. (pinging @ Sam Sailor and LittlePuppers) - Evad37 [ talk 03:32, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Evad37,
Can I please request that with rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; that it not automatically pop up on history pages? It gets rather annoying when it blocks your view when quickly checking the history page and I rarely find the need to add wikiprojects from the history page. The History pages are not exactly in 'namespace 0' (or any other namespace) so I don't really know why they should come up with this setting. — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 23:19, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

LittlePuppers (

even if ORES predicts B and another project's rating is C, it still autofills as Start– That's a bug, if there's a rating from another project banner the script is supposed to use that instead of ORES. - Evad37 [ talk 05:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Is there a way to set it so that it doesn't automatically fill in importance?

Sometimes I find myself in a situation where I want to unset all ratings on a page, for example when the importance is automatically filled in for a bunch of wikiprojects. At the moment this requires unsetting them all manually, or setting all the parameters to something and then setting them to nothing. What would be useful is an "Unset" option for the set all box, which would save time. Danski454 ( talk) 20:00, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
Some WikiProject templates do not have importance parameters (e.g. {{ WikiProject Biography}}). If an importance parameter is added, and the user tries to remove it using rater, then the program crashes when generating an edit summary. This also occurs when removing the class parameter from {{ WikiProject Essays}}. The error is at lines 1046 and 1047.
This could probably be fixed by adding && banner.parameters.class
and && banner.parameters.importance
to the conditions.

Great script! I especially like the auto-load feature that I enabled. However, when I add {{
WikiProject Military history}}, the template does not show up on the rater. Further, it auto fills the parameters b1=
b2=
b3=
b4=
b5=
as "no". It would be nice to be able to actually see the template and check or un-check those parameters. Additionally, not saying you have to do it, but leaving a space where wiki projects could add information like task forces to their template would be great. Thanks again!

For some reason, when I add an additional parameter (in this case |security=

Prometheus720 ( talk) 15:54, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
I make my decisions on importance based mainly on 3 factors--traffic, importance to the project's discipline (which is sort of like anticipating traffic if the article is better linked-to), and which projects have the most responsibility for the article based on content. Pageview count is a huge part of my assessments, there is no access key for it, and I have to open it in a new tab. It really slows me down. I would estimate that I could probably rate another 25% to 30% more articles in an hour if pageviews were just easy to see in the panel. I am NOT asking for machine-generated importance ratings. I think that would not be good. I'm asking for you to provide the information to users, that's all. I would trade waiting a little longer for it to load, by the way. It's almost certainly faster than me doing it manually. Anyway, thanks again for Rater! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prometheus720 ( talk • contribs) 16:06, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

This was brought up before and I think there was some confusion about how this can be implemented. As far as I understand, it's a relatively minor but useful change. API supports a parameter that overrides the watchlist action. It would be really useful to have at least the "don't change watchlist" option, otherwise all pages get watchlisted for those who have auto-watchlist enabled. The old rater used watchlist: 'nochange'
for the edit post and so didn't watchlist pages automatically. Many other tools/script do this too. To avoid forking (and maintaining) the whole script just for one change, could this be added as an optional setting? —

Thanks Evad37 for above improvements. Firstly, I let those Button widgets & labels default back to bold. Then I changed line-height. Next, I adjusted rater window vheight. Lastly, I changed background-color on those popups - contrast makes it easier to read. When I first time click on "+ Add parameter" it correctly opens up a new line, however I have to then click on "parameter name" box to open it up. It would be helpful if Rater can automaticly add that line And open with cursor parked inside that location (parm.name). Maybe it's just me getting used to "the new look & feel" but Rater seems to be faster than before. When this new verion "goes live" these changes for my common.css should still be effective.

Check example at Talk:Owen Magee. The class-b checklist displays as "b1=y" for 1 thru 5, yet rater displays those plus new buttons for "B-Class-1" thru "B-Class-5", all set to No. These additional buttons are not needed as the plain "b1=" are sufficient.

I'm encountering an issue ( Example here) using Rater to add project banners to redirects when their Talk pages are themselves redirects. I believe the template calls need to be placed below the magic word, but currently they're placed above it which then breaks the redirect. I can't recall encountering this issue in the mainline version of the gadget, but that may be the result of the infrequency of this edge case. The new version is coming along nicely; I'm quite enjoying the more polished interface and much improved UI text readability. I'm not sure if it's been brought up already, but am I mistaken in thinking that the old version would remove parameter names from the list once they had been applied to a particular template? I don't know that I can precisely articulate why I preferred that behavior, but I do. That's the only quibble I have with it currently. Thanks again for all your work on this, it really is a fantastic tool. — ⚞ ℛogueScholar 🐈 ₨🗩 ⚟ 01:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
