[edit]

The bot that updates this page hasn't edited for a month and the maintainer hasn't edited for 10 months. Could you please add "Blablubbs":1, to the list. Thank you, Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 13:37, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, however it seems like Amalthea is at least on a sabbatical from the project, so this page shouldn't be that relied on, perhaps someone else would take this on - you could ask for a replacement over at WP:BOTREQ. — xaosflux Talk 14:36, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, I made one at User:AmoryBot/crathighlighter.js/sysop.json a couple weeks ago, for just this reason. There are a few other updates not done here. ~ Amory (utc) 15:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I synced Amory's page to this one, no change to comment that this should prob stop being relied on. — xaosflux Talk 16:00, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Updating

[edit]

Hey Oshwah. I forget why this page is on my watchlist, but you can get it up to date by copy pasting the source from User:AmoryBot/crathighlighter.js/sysop.json. May be easier than doing it manually. Hope that helps :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:30, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Novem Linguae - Nice! I didn't see the discussion above, and hence didn't know that this .json page existed! Thank you for letting me know! I'm just puzzled as to why this page stopped getting updated by the bot. It looks like Amalthea has been inactive a bit shy of two years now, so asking them is obviously not going to yield any answers. I just haven't had the time or the urgency to look into this deeper, given the fact that the priority of this is rather low compared to the bigger fish I need to fry. ;-) The code (minus the newlines) are exactly the same - I wonder if I could just redirect this page to that page and if that would work... Looks like I need to do some experimentation! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:50, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Novem Linguae - Update: After trying a few methods to see if I could just leave Amalthea's code alone and just have this page point to or even transclude the text from User:AmoryBot/crathighlighter.js/sysop.json instead, I finally gave up and said, "Aww, forget it!" I ended up resolving this by just editing the code to Amalthea's highlighter script and updating the location for it to pull the data from (which is now User:AmoryBot/crathighlighter.js/sysop.json). Boom! Just tested and I see no issues! Cool! That means I don't have to manually update this page anymore! Yippee! Thanks again for the link, Novem Linguae! This will allow me to spend the time that I would've spent toward updating this page and allocate it elsewhere (which is likely to be something similarly useless)! :-P Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 11:13, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah. You're very welcome. I'm glad I could help :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:25, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
