Hey West.andrew.g, I just downloaded STiki today and I don't know how to activate it. Can you give me a crash course of it on my user page? Thanks. JustAGuyOnWikipedia ( talk) 00:23, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
I logged into it this morning, started working. All the buttons worked, it worked fine, but when I went to check my contributions to see if any other users got to the reverts before me (on a high-importance article), I saw that none of my last 30 minutes of patrolling was there. I also went to the pages themselves, and nothing happened. Any way to fix this? (please ping me when you reply) Adotchar| reply here 10:48, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi there - first of all thank you for your great pageview-reports! Apparently nobody else is doing that and they look great.
And since nobody else is doing it and as these pages are of internal and external interest please move them over to Wikipedia:-space.
It would probably best to name them in the style of the prior
Wikipedia:Most read articles in 2008-pages ("
Wikipedia:Most read articles in 2013" etc). You can check the pages in
Category:Wikipedia pageviews for other reports of that kind.
Btw I just created that category and would also like to ask you to add that category to all pageview-reports that you produce (if you let a bot create/update such reports pls modify its code).
Furthermore I'd also like to ask you to create pages (they don't have to be in Wikipedia:-space) for all the reports that you only put up on http://pastebin.com/u/westand so far. Even if you don't see any value or potential interest in them and think that they aren't formatted/.. well enough. I do think they're of value and that interest might develop at a later point. Of course if you create some really strange report that nobody (e.g. for testing purposes) or just a single person (who might have requested it) might be interested in you don't need to set a page on here for it - however I can't see any of such in the ones you put on pastebin. Putting them up on Wikipedia has many advantages: first of they get made editable so people (and yourself at a later point) could (at least in theory) improve upon the work of yours, also their findability can be improved (mainly via categories), they can be discussed on their associated talk pages, properly linked to with internal links, etc. etc.

Hi, Andrew!
Can you help to create a 2016’s most-read Ukrainian Wikipedia articles?
I get this information on a monthly basis via https://tools.wmflabs.org/topviews/?project=uk.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&date=last-month&excludes= but was unable to find a list for all the year. For 2015 there was http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikitrends/2015.html#ukrainian

Good evening, I was working with Stiki earlier and an edit from an article titled Lake Oswego High School showed up where an editor wrote about various racial and gender discrimination incidents over the past few years at the school. I marked it as a good faith revert and left the standard depth of nature message because I felt that the wording was a bit strong for it to be an exyclopida article; I also felt that one of the incidents was not really notable. All of the incidents were backed up with a separate news article. The editor came forward to me and demanded that undo my edit be undone, which he undid himself later citing my judgment on his edits was false. This is where I'm stuck, did I do the wrong thing by reverting his edits and did I misjudge them? I am trying to learn about the actions I should take with the Stiki tool; so any help/tips would be appreciated. If you don't want to help me with this situation just let me know and I will go ahead and ask someone else for their opinion. Thanks, KDTW Flyer ( talk) 05:12, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello Andrew,
Longtime fan of your list of popular pages. I'd like to estimate the % of pages (and % of pageviews) that are protected. Could you include protection level in the tables?
Warmly, – SJ + 21:31, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Nice response time :) Just a column for 'edit' protection should be fine. Almost noone moves or tries to move pages; it's much less relevant for readers. "Unlock further protections" is what you have to select to even toggle move protections [I believe because it's such a low-frequency task]. – SJ + 18:03, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

The year end report has been published at Wikipedia:Annual Top 50 Report. Many thanks for supplying the data upon which it is based - compiling the report would have been a literal impossibility without it. Now that it is published, we need to begin publicising it.

Hi there. I've recently been fixing some dead links, and using Special:LinkSearch to find broken links. There are a batch linking from your 'dead link' archives, currently visible at the bottom (you will need to scroll down) of this set of results (dynamically generated). It is not essential, but is there a way to mark those dead links as dealt with or to otherwise de-activate those links? I can just ignore them if there isn't any sensible way to do this (I've been using 'nowiki' tags on some article talk pages, such as here, but that might have downsides of some sort).

I wonder if the links will show up from this page now as well? Poking around, it is actually quite useful to have a record of when those CWGC dead links were dead.

Your
User:West.andrew.g/Dead links and its 1054 archive pages have numerous links with 2 or 3 consecutive apostrophes, which are treated as italic (''
) and bold ('''
) markup. I assume that the apostrophes are actually part of URLs and need to be escaped as '
to avoid being treated as italic or bold markup. I edited a few archive pages and
User:West.andrew.g/Dead links, making such changes, although the first one I edited, I assumed that the triple apostrophe was intentional bold markup, so I edited that one differently. I will stop now pending discussion. Please be aware that of 2,089
Unclosed quotes in heading lint errors, 1702 are in the User namespace, and of those, most are in your dead links archives, so I would like to know for sure if my theory is correct that these apostrophes really need to be escaped. —

Hello? Anybody home? — Anomalocaris ( talk) 07:54, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Andrew! Thank you for making this. I have two questions: 1) Is it possible given what you've already created (or what would it take to create as new) to make a popular page list without biographies? Or, without biographies, places, sports, films, television, etc. I saw the popular list for MED is based on the wikiprojects, but I don't know how it would be best to go about this. Best I can think of is some kind of post-sort addon that skims to the category section of each page from the dump and excludes from the list any entry with the words "births," "sports," latitude and longitude, etc. It's hard to consider how to do this because I don't think naming conventions for categories have been consistent enough to leave out only the content desired without for instance removing the article "television" alongside any series. 2) Is it possible to create a "random article" link that does not return biographies, locations, sports, films, etc. I have had the random article link as my homepage for some time, but it's not much use for learning about ideas I'd not have searched by name when 9/10 times it's the 1971 cricket team from somewhere, or a small town in uzbekistan, etc. --- I really appreciate any feedback or information you have about this issue! If it really is a small tweak of what you or someone else already has running, I'd love to know and you seem like the perfect person to ask. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JDontology ( talk • contribs) 00:23, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

It appears when I try to view your page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:West.andrew.g/2013_popular_pages on mobile, the page times out displaying "Our servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem. Please try again in a few minutes."
The issue is the number of images in your article (11612). Could these be converted to unicode characters/emojis per mobile image recommendations so that this can be viewed on mobile? Jdlrobson ( talk) 00:09, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
I'm one of the Kiwix people, and in order to accomodate an improvement suggestion we had for the Wikimed app, I started looking into your most excellent Popular medical pages. I was sort of expecting Migraine or influenza to be near the top, but apparently greatly underestimate the prevalence of Myofascial pain syndrome. Given the huge number of pageviews and the fact that only .2% of them are mobile I suspect some sort of glitch or outlier; but then looking around I also see that Lobar pneumonia (#221) is more than twice as popular as sore throat (#1119). Any thoughts on that? Thanks, The other Kiwix guy ( talk) 17:00, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

It looks like the top 5000 list is outdated (even if the list was recently edited) because of the number of hits for Kobe Bryant. He recently died and I wouldn't expect him to be lower than 1000 on the list; since he got over 20 million views, I think it would be within the top 5.

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

I can just ignore them if there isn't any sensible way to do this (I've been using 'nowiki' tags on some article talk pages, such as here, but that might have downsides of some sort).

I wonder if the links will show up from this page now as well? Poking around, it is actually quite useful to have a record of when those CWGC dead links were dead.

Your
User:West.andrew.g/Dead links and its 1054 archive pages have numerous links with 2 or 3 consecutive apostrophes, which are treated as italic (''
) and bold ('''
) markup. I assume that the apostrophes are actually part of URLs and need to be escaped as '
to avoid being treated as italic or bold markup. I edited a few archive pages and
User:West.andrew.g/Dead links, making such changes, although the first one I edited, I assumed that the triple apostrophe was intentional bold markup, so I edited that one differently. I will stop now pending discussion. Please be aware that of 2,089
Unclosed quotes in heading lint errors, 1702 are in the User namespace, and of those, most are in your dead links archives, so I would like to know for sure if my theory is correct that these apostrophes really need to be escaped. —

Hi Andrew! Thank you for making this. I have two questions: 1) Is it possible given what you've already created (or what would it take to create as new) to make a popular page list without biographies? Or, without biographies, places, sports, films, television, etc. I saw the popular list for MED is based on the wikiprojects, but I don't know how it would be best to go about this. Best I can think of is some kind of post-sort addon that skims to the category section of each page from the dump and excludes from the list any entry with the words "births," "sports," latitude and longitude, etc. It's hard to consider how to do this because I don't think naming conventions for categories have been consistent enough to leave out only the content desired without for instance removing the article "television" alongside any series. 2) Is it possible to create a "random article" link that does not return biographies, locations, sports, films, etc. I have had the random article link as my homepage for some time, but it's not much use for learning about ideas I'd not have searched by name when 9/10 times it's the 1971 cricket team from somewhere, or a small town in uzbekistan, etc. --- I really appreciate any feedback or information you have about this issue! If it really is a small tweak of what you or someone else already has running, I'd love to know and you seem like the perfect person to ask. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JDontology ( talk • contribs) 00:23, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Andrew, having rollback perm give additional permissions when using STiki? Thank you! Robertgombos ( talk) 19:40, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
It appears when I try to view your page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:West.andrew.g/2013_popular_pages on mobile, the page times out displaying "Our servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem. Please try again in a few minutes."
The issue is the number of images in your article (11612). Could these be converted to unicode characters/emojis per mobile image recommendations so that this can be viewed on mobile? Jdlrobson ( talk) 00:09, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
I'm one of the Kiwix people, and in order to accomodate an improvement suggestion we had for the Wikimed app, I started looking into your most excellent Popular medical pages. I was sort of expecting Migraine or influenza to be near the top, but apparently greatly underestimate the prevalence of Myofascial pain syndrome. Given the huge number of pageviews and the fact that only .2% of them are mobile I suspect some sort of glitch or outlier; but then looking around I also see that Lobar pneumonia (#221) is more than twice as popular as sore throat (#1119). Any thoughts on that? Thanks, The other Kiwix guy ( talk) 17:00, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm Nate TeBlunthuis, a PhD student at the University of Washington. I'm working on a research project that involves tracking the historical activity of various editing tools on Wikipedia. My approach is based on matching default edit summaries. I'm looking for the history of default edit summaries used by the STiki tool. Can you help? Groceryheist ( talk) 17:00, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi, if it is only possible, asking for your help to generate the list of articles from English Wikipedia's top 5000 that don't have Ukrainian articles. I need just a list without any additional data. I know that petscan can help but I'm not sure how. Thank you! -- Anntinomy ( talk) 17:41, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
It looks like the top 5000 list is outdated (even if the list was recently edited) because of the number of hits for Kobe Bryant. He recently died and I wouldn't expect him to be lower than 1000 on the list; since he got over 20 million views, I think it would be within the top 5. The list looks like it was made before he died last month. I'm not perfect but I'm almost ( talk) 21:17, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Andrew. I hope everything is fine in real life. I often see your activity; I realised you havent edited in a while so I came here only to find out you havent edited since March 5. Please take your time to come back to the project, but please take care of yourself, and yours. Best wishes, —usernamekiran (talk) 05:05, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:07, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)
