Thanks for the new pageview tool. I found a couple of issues that you might be able to fix. a) The articles are almost impossible to remove on small mobile views (cannot click on the x, would be nice to be able to use backspace/delete). b) the popups seem to be based on a threshold distance (i have not seen the code but guessing based on the appearance of multiple popups when there are a large number of points near the mouse) - it would be better to show a single popup for the point closest to the mouse. - Minor glitches in otherwise excellent work. Shyamal ( talk) 03:14, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey, one of the serious problems with https://tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews, is that it doesn't allow you to check the page views of redirects in the search. You can force it with a link in the url: https://tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews#start=2016-01-16&end=2016-02-04&lang=en&pages=Wikipedia:Research_help/Med . But the search interface, removes the redirect when doing the search, in favor of the main page, without aggregating those pageviews. Alot of articles are going to be severely underepresenting pageviews because of it. Astinson (WMF) ( talk) 18:56, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Astinson (WMF): ...until the commtech one becomes robust (or you take over the world: P).
MusikAnimal: Cool! I should be able to do that.
Why has the valuable ability to look at historic page views been removed from this tool? Also, less importantly, why has it been changed from a column graph to a less appropriate line graph? It was better as it was. -- Epipelagic ( talk) 09:25, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, MusikAnimal! Could I pick your brain a little? I need to evaluate an article for resubmission, and it is too technical for me to follow. (I advised the author to make at least the lead intelligible in plain English, and I think they tried, but it's still over my head.) I had deleted the article as a result of this discussion. Among other issues, there were no independent sources. After this request I userfied it, with some advice about sources and such. It is now at User:Mkbergman/UMBEL, and the author wants to know if it is ready to put back into mainspace. The author is a disclosed paid editor (CEO of the developer of this open-source subject.) I do see numerous outside sources in the article now, and they do seem to be actually about the subject. So my inclination is to restore it, and to add a note explaining that it is significantly different from the deleted version and not eligible for G4. But I'd like an opinion from somebody who understands this stuff. I'm not asking you to explain it to me (probably a hopeless case), just to let me know if the article makes sense, and if you think it might be accepted as an article this time around. Thanks for any input! -- MelanieN ( talk) 20:50, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, I was wondering if you could perform a RevDel on the following edits: [2], [3]? The edit contains a user's phone number and i'm pretty sure that's a privacy violation waiting to happen. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 16:45, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello MusikAnimal. I saw you some days ago undid the protection on the Boca Juniors page and now is protected against editing once more.

Hi,
thank you for making statistics available, also analysis for mobile, bot etc.
However, I would like to ask for an improvement: With every call, at least after cache clearing, users need to contact cloudflare.com and pass details about this user with this IP and this browser profile, and which page he is interested in.

Hey Musiker,
Thank you for the wonderful tool Pageview Analysis! At the German-speaking WP, we've had a similar one implemented to all pages made by -- I suppose -- a private user from Sweden, but it didn't work anymore. Anyway, used to it for a long time, I missed such a thing, and yours now is even better.
My actual request would be as to know the definition of agent categories "Spider" and whether "User" means only registered users or simply every unique visitor (including IPs like myself).
Thanks again,

I'm glad someone already gave you a barnstar for this. Superb job -especially the comparison of page visits. Is there any technical way that Time On Site could be averaged out and displayed? If so, it could be great way for editors to assess how effective an article is in keeping readers engaged in content (or alternatively trying to make unravel and make sense of the garbage!) Just a thought - keep up the great work! Parkywiki ( talk) 16:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Musik, this is probably my fault and not yours but the charts aren't appearing for me. Instead, I see "Chart not appearing? Please ensure you have all ad blockers disabled or have /pageviews/* whitelisted"—but my adblockers have the site whitelisted and are disabled, and I've tried it with four different browsers.

I just created my first article, Nicolo Schiro, and everything is fine with the article itself. But when I looked at the revision history of the article, I saw that all of the revisions of my sandbox were included in the history of the article. I didn't realize that you had to create a new sandbox before creating a new article (or even know that it could be done.) I first started writing the Schiro article on 05 February 2016 but there are revision from all the way back to August 2015, where I'm learning to use Wikipedia and tests for potential edits to articles or talk pages, like here and here. I made an inquiry at the Teahouse, here, about whether the revision history prior can be deleted and there was no definite answer. There's nothing in those prior sandbox edits that would violate any policy. I checked the page on revision deletion and it was kind of ambiguous about whether my situation applies or not. You are listed as one of the admins who deal with revision deletion, and hopefully can provide guidance on this issue. Libertybison ( talk) 21:42, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others.
If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Thanks!

Hello M. Today the Cliff Richard article showed up in the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. It looks like it has something to do with Rebbing's edit here. I am not sure which - if any - of the templates added are causing the article to show up in the cat. Rebbing please don't think that I am complaining because I am not. I have been working with this cat for almost a year (and M is one of the editors who helps me) and I haven't seen this configuration for these templates before so I am hoping to learn about them. I am also trying to get that article out of the category since it doesn't belong there. Thanks to you both for any info you can provide. MarnetteD| Talk 19:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey MusikAnimal, I was wondering if my current contribution track record is good enough to get rollback. Not a formal request but im seeing if my contributions stand up to scrutiny. Winterysteppe ( talk) 16:07, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi MusikAnimal. Before I start, I'd just like to thank you for granting me rollback rights in the first place, as well as letting me keep them after my unacceptable edit summary shortly after receiving them. I really do appreciate that. However, I am now starting to take my actions whilst using Huggle into question, and so are many other editors. In this month alone, I have made several accidental reverts, either by misreading a revision, by presuming an edit is vandalism when it is, in fact, not, or by accidentally pressing the "Q" button when I am reading a revision. I am therefore requesting that my rollback be revoked for the time being. I'd rather admit to my unacceptable behaviour and face a milder sanction for it now, than be in denial and risk receiving a block later.
I am unsure whether or not I will be allowed to request these rights again, but that is not a concern of mine. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for my unacceptable behaviour, and I feel as if this revocation will be in the community's best interest. If, however, I am able to apply again, I will only do so when I feel as if I have become a more responsible user. Kindest regards, -- Ches (talk) 19:39, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey, one of the serious problems with https://tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews, is that it doesn't allow you to check the page views of redirects in the search. You can force it with a link in the url: https://tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews#start=2016-01-16&end=2016-02-04&lang=en&pages=Wikipedia:Research_help/Med .

This month, we will also host a Newcomer's Wiki Workshop for those getting started on the encyclopedia project! We will also include a look at our annual plan and budget ideas, and welcome input from community members on the sorts of projects the chapter should support through both volunteer and budgetary efforts. We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming editathons, and other outreach activities. After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery!
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! (One talk this month will be on use of Wikipedia press passes for photographers.) Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! -- Pharos ( talk) 00:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC) |

Hi there, I was wondering if you could perform a RevDel on the following edits: [2], [3]? The edit contains a user's phone number and i'm pretty sure that's a privacy violation waiting to happen. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 16:45, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello. Why 0 is ignored in Pageviews Analysis? 0 is also an indicator. Can you fix, please? :) — Green Zero обг 18:51, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the help with the revdel request earlier. Before I send this to ANI, I wanted your $.02 on this post here, specifically the edit summary: [5]. Would that constitute a legal threat, or just barely skirt by? RickinBaltimore ( talk) 19:15, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello MusikAnimal. I saw you some days ago undid the protection on the Boca Juniors page and now is protected against editing once more. I dont agree with its content and some comments as they are tendentious and are not relying on reliable sources. Is it possible to undo the protection once more?Thanks -- 202.62.98.33 ( talk) 18:02, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
thank you for making statistics available, also analysis for mobile, bot etc.
However, I would like to ask for an improvement: With every call, at least after cache clearing, users need to contact cloudflare.com and pass details about this user with this IP and this browser profile, and which page he is interested in.
Please find a shield at toollabs:cdnjs which is supposed to cover all your needs, as far as I can see, and access resources within our world only.
My script blocking service directed my attention towards this issue.

. I don't plan to drop support for any URL parameters. If they change the app will normalize them into the new format.Redirect pages should work, even when searching for them within the interface. For instance, try
[6]. I can look into a feature that automatically includes all redirects, if that's what you mean. Very good idea :) I don't know anything about the pages at

Wikipedia:Web statistics tool, and I think that's it. Many thanks for the feedback! —

Hey Musiker,
Thank you for the wonderful tool Pageview Analysis! At the German-speaking WP, we've had a similar one implemented to all pages made by -- I suppose -- a private user from Sweden, but it didn't work anymore. Anyway, used to it for a long time, I missed such a thing, and yours now is even better.
My actual request would be as to know the definition of agent categories "Spider" and whether "User" means only registered users or simply every unique visitor (including IPs like myself).
Thanks again,

Hey, the new pageview tool looks great and is a pleasure to use. One question, though: Why does it require me to disable my adblocker to work? No ads seem to be served when I do, so I'm curious how the active adblocker interferes with the tool. Thanks! Antepenultimate ( talk) 21:09, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi MusikAnimal. Things are humming along with my Sound/list work (I've recently finished with Puccini and am heading toward Z in the alphabet). I was just wondering if you know why the icons look messed up all of a sudden, on my laptop anyway. Here's an example:

I'm glad someone already gave you a barnstar for this. Superb job -especially the comparison of page visits. Is there any technical way that Time On Site could be averaged out and displayed? If so, it could be great way for editors to assess how effective an article is in keeping readers engaged in content (or alternatively trying to make unravel and make sense of the garbage!) Just a thought - keep up the great work! Parkywiki ( talk) 16:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi, after getting nil results from the groke page viewer for how many weeks (no one bothers to tell people it's never going to work again), I tried yours. Tells me to disable my adblocker (whether disabled or not). Thx. Tony (talk) 00:31, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi Musik, this is probably my fault and not yours but the charts aren't appearing for me. Instead, I see "Chart not appearing? Please ensure you have all ad blockers disabled or have /pageviews/* whitelisted"—but my adblockers have the site whitelisted and are disabled, and I've tried it with four different browsers. Is there something else I need to disable? Thanks for your help here. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:28, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Now on Chrome for Mac (no adblocker) it seems to work.
On Safari for Mac (with adblocker), you get:

Chart not appearing? Please ensure you have all ad blockers disabled or have /pageviews/* whitelisted. 10, 20 etc day buttons look live, but are dead. en.wikipedia.org is grayed. Agent seems to do nothing. Pages has a weird vertical box. But it's unclear whether the platform or the adblocker is the problem. Tony (talk) 04:04, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

I just created my first article, Nicolo Schiro, and everything is fine with the article itself. But when I looked at the revision history of the article, I saw that all of the revisions of my sandbox were included in the history of the article. I didn't realize that you had to create a new sandbox before creating a new article (or even know that it could be done.) I first started writing the Schiro article on 05 February 2016 but there are revision from all the way back to August 2015, where I'm learning to use Wikipedia and tests for potential edits to articles or talk pages, like here and here. I made an inquiry at the Teahouse, here, about whether the revision history prior can be deleted and there was no definite answer. There's nothing in those prior sandbox edits that would violate any policy. I checked the page on revision deletion and it was kind of ambiguous about whether my situation applies or not. You are listed as one of the admins who deal with revision deletion, and hopefully can provide guidance on this issue. Libertybison ( talk) 21:42, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others.
If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Thanks!

Hello M. Today the Cliff Richard article showed up in the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. It looks like it has something to do with Rebbing's edit here. I am not sure which - if any - of the templates added are causing the article to show up in the cat. Rebbing please don't think that I am complaining because I am not. I have been working with this cat for almost a year (and M is one of the editors who helps me) and I haven't seen this configuration for these templates before so I am hoping to learn about them. I am also trying to get that article out of the category since it doesn't belong there. Thanks to you both for any info you can provide. MarnetteD| Talk 19:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi MA, if I may abbreviate! Random tool question for you since you seem to be quite proficient in those: Is there a tool wherein one can input a regex and search the Username/SUL list for occurrences thereof? Or if not, what it might take to build one? The current search feature is only "starting with" which isn't too useful beyond finding an open name. Thanks in advance!

You deserve it in all the requests for permissions. Winterysteppe ( talk) 04:25, 2 March 2016 (UTC) |
I have been fighting some nice amount of vandalism, and I am looking for rollback permission in order to use Huggle. I believe that I am ready for it, and I certainly will never abuse it. I would like to have your opinion on whether I would be granted that permission, since I wasn't able to find clear guidelines. I am not requesting it on the regular channel because I afraid that in the event that I get denied it will be harder to get it in the future. Thanks, WannaBeEditor ( talk) 06:06, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey MusikAnimal, I was wondering if my current contribution track record is good enough to get rollback. Not a formal request but im seeing if my contributions stand up to scrutiny. Winterysteppe ( talk) 16:07, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi MusikAnimal. Before I start, I'd just like to thank you for granting me rollback rights in the first place, as well as letting me keep them after my unacceptable edit summary shortly after receiving them. I really do appreciate that. However, I am now starting to take my actions whilst using Huggle into question, and so are many other editors. In this month alone, I have made several accidental reverts, either by misreading a revision, by presuming an edit is vandalism when it is, in fact, not, or by accidentally pressing the "Q" button when I am reading a revision. I am therefore requesting that my rollback be revoked for the time being. I'd rather admit to my unacceptable behaviour and face a milder sanction for it now, than be in denial and risk receiving a block later.
I am unsure whether or not I will be allowed to request these rights again, but that is not a concern of mine. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for my unacceptable behaviour, and I feel as if this revocation will be in the community's best interest. If, however, I am able to apply again, I will only do so when I feel as if I have become a more responsible user. Kindest regards, -- Ches (talk) 19:39, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
