Hi again M. I am not sure how to get this Template:FACT out of the cat. It showed up a couple days ago when this request was made on Template talk:FACT. I thought that it might drop from the cat when the request was answered but it just moved to the redirect. I tried a null edit on that talk page but it made no difference. The template page is fully protected so I can't make any fixes there. Hopefully you will be able to figure out what is going on. As ever thanks for your time.

Per the marijuana dispensary page you just removed...
This should not redirect to medical cannabis. It should redirect to the article that was here before user Viriditas hastily removed it using the following uncited reason: " (Viriditas moved page Marijuana dispensary to Medical cannabis dispensary: "Marijuana" is a non-neutral term popularized by racists and prohibitionists) "
Can someone please bring the page that belongs here back from the draft mode Viriditas incorrectly placed it in?

The page protection request for Fianna Fail was without foundation, the section that was edited that was "sourced", was POV in favor of the political party, and the source used was a Fianna Fail statement by one of their politicians. There even had been no consensus to include that section. There was no "disruptive editing" contrary to what the submitter stated, and the explanation for removing the "reliably sourced material" aka political posturing or spin etc, was already given.
Note: Be aware of positive spin being added on other Irish political party pages also, there is an election within a month. Tyrsóg ( talk) 10:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey MusikAnimal, I saw you granted chesnaught rollback. I am a little concerned that this was his second edit after you granted the tool. I was actually going to go decline just now based on that edit but saw you had acted on it earlier in the day. Just concerning that that's his response to vandals. Not the best temperament in my mind for someone who will be reverting vandalism with the tool. Would you mind taking a look and reconsider or at least talk to him about it? only ( talk) 20:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello again MA. Template:Disambiguation name showed up in the incorrect protection template category. I think it has something to do with the attempt to redirect it and the subsequent reversal. Hopefully you can figure this out. Best regards. MarnetteD| Talk 18:59, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
I may have tracked down what is going on with the template M. This is what the page looked like before the redirect. When Dispenser undid their redirect they didn't go back to the way the page had been. Instead they replaced it with Template:Refer which is perm protected. I am not sure what is the best way to deal with this. One is to revert back to the old version and the other is to add the noinclude command to the "Template:Refer" - I can't do the second one as it is fully protected. Whichever of these you chose is fine with me. Have a nice week in spite of the fact that it wont be as fun as the last one. MarnetteD| Talk 00:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
I was just wondering if MusikBot should have an edit summary when archiving scheduled entries at WP:TAFI. I feel it may be a good idea because it will show what MusikBot had edited for.

Hi there. I'm User:Vaselineeeeeeee. I noticed you gave approvals etc to some users in the rollbacking request page. I've had some interest in the past few months about the application for rollback and pending changes review. I read that it is given to trusted users etc who revert vandalism etc. I've been on Wikipedia for almost two years now, but only started seriously editing in the past 8 months or so. The reason for this question is that I have a concern that in my early days, I didn't take Wikipedia seriously and entered a few rather pointless edit wars, causing me to be blocked several times. I was also accused of sock-puppetry and an investigation was filed against me. I am afraid to apply since administrators might take one look at that and deny me right way... I truly have made a full 360 as an editor, I understand most of the rules and truly believe I deserve these rights, as vandalism has no place in my book any longer. If you guys were to look at my edits in the past 8 months, you'd be very pleased. Do you think I should still apply, or would I be denied right away, or would the administrators assume good faith of my past positive contributions? Thanks for your time! Vaselineeeeeeee ( talk) 04:00, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
/
will correct syntax highlighters that don't know that <br>
is an
empty element. I assume you didn't know that because it purely techy mumbo jumbo, so no worries, the point I guess is to be cautious about reverting and try to do it
only when necessary. If you want to get more involved with fighting vandalism, I recommend enrolling in the
counter-vandalism academy. If you complete training there you will surely be granted rollback by any sensible admin. Hope this helps, and keep up the great work! :) —

Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to
our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Hello! Some time ago I wrote a
PHP program that calculates monthly page view statistics for a group of articles, using statistics data available from
stats
Basically, what I need is the ability to fetch JSON-encoded statistics data from my PHP program, but I don't see how would that be possible for the current state of tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews? For example, January 2016 statistics for a single article does provide a "download JSON" link on the page, but the click on it seems to be handled by some JavaScript code, which effectively makes it unusable to my PHP program. Any chances, please, for having a GET parameter that would make JSON data to be returned instead of a HTML page, similarly to how stats.grok.se does it?
Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for all your work on tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews! — Dsimic ( talk | contribs) 19:11, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to expand the scope of this filter (to all articles) or if the scope is supposed to be narrow. – Fredddie ™ 02:04, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi MA. Please could you cast an eye at this disruptive IP's edits. They continue to deliberately and blatantly change sourced sales figures to ones they prefer, something they have already been blocked for in the past. Much obliged! Rob van vee 16:13, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey MusikAnimal, I saw you granted chesnaught rollback. I am a little concerned that this was his second edit after you granted the tool. I was actually going to go decline just now based on that edit but saw you had acted on it earlier in the day. Just concerning that that's his response to vandals. Not the best temperament in my mind for someone who will be reverting vandalism with the tool. Would you mind taking a look and reconsider or at least talk to him about it? only ( talk) 20:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello again MA. Template:Disambiguation name showed up in the incorrect protection template category. I think it has something to do with the attempt to redirect it and the subsequent reversal. Hopefully you can figure this out. Best regards. MarnetteD| Talk 18:59, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
I may have tracked down what is going on with the template M. This is what the page looked like before the redirect. When Dispenser undid their redirect they didn't go back to the way the page had been. Instead they replaced it with Template:Refer which is perm protected. I am not sure what is the best way to deal with this. One is to revert back to the old version and the other is to add the noinclude command to the "Template:Refer" - I can't do the second one as it is fully protected. Whichever of these you chose is fine with me. Have a nice week in spite of the fact that it wont be as fun as the last one. MarnetteD| Talk 00:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
I was just wondering if MusikBot should have an edit summary when archiving scheduled entries at WP:TAFI. I feel it may be a good idea because it will show what MusikBot had edited for. I was thinking about "Adding ARTICLE to the schedules archive" Qwertyxp2000 ( talk | contribs) 05:22, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey MusikAnimal,
That account is actually a vandalism only account and a sock of User:Tdrhsnam. There has been a long term problem with them adding anime character to Capital punishment in Japan. Could you block indef instead of 24 hours? Thanks. -- Majora ( talk) 19:17, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey - how was Belize? I've heard it's beautiful - have a friend who's been diving there several times. Hope you're refreshed and recharged! :-)
Katie is here today because Katie needs her access to the ACC interface restored for UTRS (have an appeal from a guy caught in a rangeblock who needs a username created) and she's wandering the hallways knocking on doors to find someone to do it. The lovely "you haven't been here for 45 days, so eat worms" message says to ask Stifle, but Stifle says he hasn't had ACC access himself for years and the message needs to be changed. Can you help, and if you can't, do you know whose doorway I should knock on next? Katie talk 12:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm User:Vaselineeeeeeee. I noticed you gave approvals etc to some users in the rollbacking request page. I've had some interest in the past few months about the application for rollback and pending changes review. I read that it is given to trusted users etc who revert vandalism etc. I've been on Wikipedia for almost two years now, but only started seriously editing in the past 8 months or so. The reason for this question is that I have a concern that in my early days, I didn't take Wikipedia seriously and entered a few rather pointless edit wars, causing me to be blocked several times. I was also accused of sock-puppetry and an investigation was filed against me. I am afraid to apply since administrators might take one look at that and deny me right way... I truly have made a full 360 as an editor, I understand most of the rules and truly believe I deserve these rights, as vandalism has no place in my book any longer. If you guys were to look at my edits in the past 8 months, you'd be very pleased. Do you think I should still apply, or would I be denied right away, or would the administrators assume good faith of my past positive contributions? Thanks for your time! Vaselineeeeeeee ( talk) 04:00, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

will correct syntax highlighters that don't know that <br>
is an
empty element. I assume you didn't know that because it purely techy mumbo jumbo, so no worries, the point I guess is to be cautious about reverting and try to do it
only when necessary. If you want to get more involved with fighting vandalism, I recommend enrolling in the
counter-vandalism academy. If you complete training there you will surely be granted rollback by any sensible admin. Hope this helps, and keep up the great work! :) —

Hey, MusikAnimal, a question – is this project that you and Marcel Ruiz Forns are working on part of the Community Tech/Pageview stats tool project? Or is your work on your Page Views tool just coincidental and/or ancillary to the 2015 Community Wishlist Survey/Top 10 projects?... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 08:03, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to
our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Hello! Some time ago I wrote a
PHP program that calculates monthly page view statistics for a group of articles, using statistics data available from
stats
Basically, what I need is the ability to fetch JSON-encoded statistics data from my PHP program, but I don't see how would that be possible for the current state of tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews? For example, January 2016 statistics for a single article does provide a "download JSON" link on the page, but the click on it seems to be handled by some JavaScript code, which effectively makes it unusable to my PHP program. Any chances, please, for having a GET parameter that would make JSON data to be returned instead of a HTML page, similarly to how stats.grok.se does it?
Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for all your work on tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews! — Dsimic ( talk | contribs) 19:11, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
