Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 18

[edit]

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past three months (September, October, and November 2020).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 18th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Updated scripts Twinkle has made a number of improvements, including using a change tag to identify actions made with it and automatically filing edit requests for protected XfD nominations.
SD0001's shortdescs-in-category is now compatible with scripts modifying category listings, such as Equazcion's CatListMainTalkLinks
GhostInTheMachine's TalkHelper2 is a newer version of their prior script, TalkHelper
GeneralNotability's spihelper updated to 2.2.10, fixing a number of small bugs, automatically tagging globally locked socks as such in the sockpuppet template, and restoring open cases following an SPI history merge.
Enterprisey's script-installer gadget has been updated with more internationalization of messages, as well as addition of a user preference, window.scriptInstallerInstallTarget to allow controlling where new scripts are to be installed.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited COVID-19 pandemic in the San Francisco Bay Area, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Safeway. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

傷官 (Four Pillars of Destiny)

[edit]

Aasim, you reverted my edit to this redirect a few seconds ago. Before I made my edit, the rcat showed this as a redirect pointing from japanese to japanese. I changed this to Japanese and English. This edit was indeed constructive. 122.60.65.44 (talk) 02:22, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Good catch! Thanks and happy editing! Aasim (talk) 02:24, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Reply tool

[edit]
Graph of Reply tool and full-page wikitext edit completion rates
Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this report.

The Reply tool is available at most Wikipedias.

  • The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
  • It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

  • As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
  • We have preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[1]
  • The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[2] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
  • A large A/B test will start soon.[3] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. You can still turn it on or off for your own account in Special:Preferences.

New discussion tool

[edit]
Screenshot of version 1.0 of the New Discussion Tool prototype.

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[4] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

Next: Notifications

[edit]

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at notifications-talk.

Hello?

[edit]

Aasim! Hey it’s Artsy Koala (from wikiHow). How do I do this? How do I patrol recent changes? How do I send messages? I am confused. Artsy Koala (talk) 20:16, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

See User:Awesome Aasim/Wikipedia for wikiHowians and Project:Welcome. Aasim (talk) 05:24, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
I should have clarified further. Wikipedia is very different from wikiHow. I do want to give you a warm welcome :) In the essay I wrote (which is not policy), I basically was trying to show ways that wikiHowians could continue doing the things they love on Wikipedia. The Project:Welcome page is a more official page that shows you ways you can get started.
Recent Changes Patrol is a bit complicated because of the thousands of hits that Wikipedia gets. What I tend to do is put a filter so I only see edits that are most likely to be problematic. You may find this a lot better when finding bad edits. Click on the "diff" on each of each of these, and if the edit looks malicious or harmful, you can click on "undo" to revert the edit. Or you can use Twinkle to revert the edit even quicker. Or you can use this more experimental tool RedWarn. Aasim (talk) 09:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks

[edit]

Thanks for fixing the image on the Twilight Saga page. I screwed up :( Artsy Koala (talk) 15:17, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Artsy Koala - No problem. If you need any help doing anything, all you need to do is ask! There is the {{help me}} template you can place on your talk page. All you have to do is place this code in a new section, say "I need help" in the header, then ask your question below the template. I and other Wikipedia editors want to help you learn the ropes when editing.  :) Aasim (talk) 21:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
You can also ask your question at the help desk, though in that case you do not use the {{help me}} template. Aasim (talk) 21:41, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 20

[edit]

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (January 2021).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 20th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Open tasks

  • As a reminder, the legacy javascript globals (like accessing wgPageName without first assigning it a value or using mw.config.get('wgPageName') instead) are deprecated. If your user scripts make use of the globals, please update them to use mw.config instead. Some global interface editors or local interface administrators may edit your user script to make these changes if you don't. See phab:T72470 for more.

Miscellaneous

  • For people interested in creating user scripts or gadgets using TypeScript, a types-mediawiki package (GitHub, NPM) is now available that provides type definitions for the MediaWiki JS interface and the API.
  • A GitHub organization has been created for hosting codebases of gadgets. Users who maintain gadgets using GitHub may choose to move their repos to this organization, to ensure continued maintenance by others even if the original maintainer becomes inactive.
