I would like to be able to run off the number of page views for articles in Category:History of the Paralympic movement in Australia articles for the month of August. But it contains 941 pages, and Massviews Analysis only gives me a figure for the first 200 pages. Any idea how this can be done? Hawkeye7 ( talk) 02:35, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the really cool tool! I do have a suggestion to make: for some reason, the tool doesn't work fully when the UI is in a language other than English (the shortcuts to the noticeboards work fine, but not the templated reasons). It isn't a big problem whatsoever (after all, if a person is an admin on enwiki, their English proficiency should necessarily be good!), but if this takes the most minimal of efforts to fix, it would be great if you could :) .

@ WarMachineWildThing: is being harassed by an IP user, see via multiple IPs. This edit under the 185.54.163.155 IP, this edit under the IP 185.54.163.52, and this edit under the IP 185.54.163.195. Note the same type of edit summaries, sarcastic and accusatory. It is believe to the the same user that was previously harassing Warmachine and was banned. I'm assuming a range block may be needed since they keep jumping IPs. (talk page stalker) Crash Under ride 15:12, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Great idea and tool. Maybe you would consider add option to group scripts? Like "gropu1":{'script1','script2'},'group2':{'script1','script2'} etc. Not very important, but useful to have let's say editing scripts in one group, admin scripts in second group etc. Don't have ideas on visual "output". -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 12:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

We will also follow up on plans for recent ( UN Women and CFR!) and upcoming edit-a-thons, and other outreach activities. We also hope for 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. Along with the main meeting, hummus and refreshments and video games in the gallery!

Your Bot is okay.
Your bot is not gray.
I have a suggestion for your bot.
The bot has an idea
It has no
diarrhea
So just one thing.
Make it add a template
That it will administrate
Of protection
It'll have no objection.
Basically, could you make it so that MusikBot will also add a template if the article is protected, but with no protection template? Thanks, Dat Guy Talk Contribs 20:47, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello MusikAnimal. You've blocked this IP in the past, and I've just got a request to look into their behavior. This IP editor is constantly changing chart positions without any apparent sourcing, and has never left a post on article talk or user talk.

Just so you know, he made a personal attack against you in this edit. Do you think he needs his talk page access revoked? Adam9007 ( talk) 01:04, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Doing this here because I don't want to call big attention to it at VPT. You blocked 78.127.222.52 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) last night and disabled TPA. After that, another editor started an ANI thread about a different IP who was doing the same thing (it's the section called 24.141.6.209). A comment was made there that several things needed to be hidden.
So I use popups, and I wanted to make sure everything was hidden that needed to be hidden, and I hovered over the link in the ANI report to the 78.127 IP, and his nasty edit summaries were all there. Being the conscientious little busybody that I am, I came to his contribs to hide that stuff, only to see that you had already done it. So why does popups show them?
The same thing happens in the other IPs listed at the ANI report. I don't know if popups is your thing, but it's a seriously ungood bug that seriously needs to be fixed. Can you file a Phabricator ticket and/or get the right guys on it? I don't even know if anybody works on popups now. Katie talk 12:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi MusikAnimal, I wasn't able to get the answers I wanted at VPT for now, and was interested in investigating a potential MW pending changes bug involving edit and review (specifically where an editor could review a page that he/she couldn't edit, with the (still unapproved) PC2+ECP PC2+TPROT the most likely offender) I could potentially test this myself at the test site, and I've also filed a request there (citing test, script, and dev reasons).

Hi! So I don't know jackshit about coding or javascript or whatever, but I tried to make sense of your code for More Menu and attempted this. It checks for personal js/css subpages and adds it to the userdropdown if it exists. I doubt it's of any interest to normal users but it is quite useful to me. Anyway, I'm wondering if it's possible for me to add this functionality from my common.js or something while loading the gadget, rather than me copying the whole of Moremenu to my userspace and doing this. I'm sure this is a waste of your time, but appreciate any pointers. - NQ (talk) 16:35, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi MusikAnimal,
I just wanted to let you know that this user: Wikipedian of the Year also appears to be the user whom you just recently blocked, based on them editing the other account's userpage. Please block, thanks. 208.54.5.223 ( talk) 03:19, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, MusikAnimal. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

User:VarunFEB2003/Guestbook to be protected. You can protect all others with whichever protection you find appropriate (but it should be accessible to me!). If you can please protect my talkspace (including archives) also except my current talk page,

Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 4th GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which 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 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on October 31, 2016. 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, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. 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.

We now have the attention of the WMF and their development team has made page patrolling a top priority. They are already working hard to address some of the major issues.
The success of this depends on our team being able to keep the developers supplied with the feedback they need - if we relax on this they will move on.
If you have not already done so, please complete your list of 10 preferences here as soon as possible from the list at To do - the WMF is waiting for our shortlist. Please note that No.8 (NOINDEX) has already been addressed.

@ WarMachineWildThing: is being harassed by an IP user, see via multiple IPs. This edit under the 185.54.163.155 IP, this edit under the IP 185.54.163.52, and this edit under the IP 185.54.163.195. Note the same type of edit summaries, sarcastic and accusatory. It is believe to the the same user that was previously harassing Warmachine and was banned. I'm assuming a range block may be needed since they keep jumping IPs. (talk page stalker) Crash Under ride 15:12, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Great idea and tool. Maybe you would consider add option to group scripts? Like "gropu1":{'script1','script2'},'group2':{'script1','script2'} etc. Not very important, but useful to have let's say editing scripts in one group, admin scripts in second group etc. Don't have ideas on visual "output". -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 12:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Your Bot is okay.
Your bot is not gray.
I have a suggestion for your bot.
The bot has an idea
It has no
diarrhea
So just one thing.
Make it add a template
That it will administrate
Of protection
It'll have no objection.
Basically, could you make it so that MusikBot will also add a template if the article is protected, but with no protection template? Thanks, Dat Guy Talk Contribs 20:47, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello MusikAnimal. You've blocked this IP in the past, and I've just got a request to look into their behavior.

Just so you know, he made a personal attack against you in this edit. Do you think he needs his talk page access revoked? Adam9007 ( talk) 01:04, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Doing this here because I don't want to call big attention to it at VPT. You blocked 78.127.222.52 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) last night and disabled TPA. After that, another editor started an ANI thread about a different IP who was doing the same thing (it's the section called 24.141.6.209). A comment was made there that several things needed to be hidden.
So I use popups, and I wanted to make sure everything was hidden that needed to be hidden, and I hovered over the link in the ANI report to the 78.127 IP, and his nasty edit summaries were all there. Being the conscientious little busybody that I am, I came to his contribs to hide that stuff, only to see that you had already done it. So why does popups show them?
The same thing happens in the other IPs listed at the ANI report. I don't know if popups is your thing, but it's a seriously ungood bug that seriously needs to be fixed. Can you file a Phabricator ticket and/or get the right guys on it? I don't even know if anybody works on popups now. Katie talk 12:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi MusikAnimal, I wasn't able to get the answers I wanted at VPT for now, and was interested in investigating a potential MW pending changes bug involving edit and review (specifically where an editor could review a page that he/she couldn't edit, with the (still unapproved) PC2+ECP PC2+TPROT the most likely offender) I could potentially test this myself at the test site, and I've also filed a request there (citing test, script, and dev reasons).

Hi! So I don't know jackshit about coding or javascript or whatever, but I tried to make sense of your code for More Menu and attempted this. It checks for personal js/css subpages and adds it to the userdropdown if it exists. I doubt it's of any interest to normal users but it is quite useful to me. Anyway, I'm wondering if it's possible for me to add this functionality from my common.js or something while loading the gadget, rather than me copying the whole of Moremenu to my userspace and doing this. I'm sure this is a waste of your time, but appreciate any pointers. - NQ (talk) 16:35, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi MusikAnimal,
I just wanted to let you know that this user: Wikipedian of the Year also appears to be the user whom you just recently blocked, based on them editing the other account's userpage. Please block, thanks. 208.54.5.223 ( talk) 03:19, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, MusikAnimal. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

User:VarunFEB2003/Subpages. Moreover I do not want
User:VarunFEB2003/Guestbook to be protected. You can protect all others with whichever protection you find appropriate (but it should be accessible to me!). If you can please protect my talkspace (including archives) also except my current talk page,

Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 4th GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which 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 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on October 31, 2016. 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, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. 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.

We now have the attention of the WMF and their development team has made page patrolling a top priority. They are already working hard to address some of the major issues.
The success of this depends on our team being able to keep the developers supplied with the feedback they need - if we relax on this they will move on.
If you have not already done so, please complete your list of 10 preferences here as soon as possible from the list at To do - the WMF is waiting for our shortlist. Please note that No.8 (NOINDEX) has already been addressed.
