Help if you have some time

Hi, again. Thank you for your help on Template:Featured picture. I was wondering if you have the time to help me again. I am trying to get Wikipedia:Main Page history#2019 to display two archives of the Main Page per day when there are two DYKs in a 24 hour period. This requires editing how Template:Main Page history is written. I am playing around with Template:2019 Main Page history and Template:2019 Main Page history/sandbox ← both of which I created from Template:Daily archive log. Can you think of how to create a template to work for this idea? I am thinking that the bot would create the pages like one of these two options:

  1. Wikipedia:Main Page history/2019 August 30/1 and Wikipedia:Main Page history/2019 August 30/2
  2. Wikipedia:Main Page history/2019 August 31a and Wikipedia:Main Page history/2019 August 30b

I am just trying to think it out before formally proposing it. Basically, what we need is a calendar that can display two links on days that are double DYK days. It can be complicated and self-reliant OR simple that can be edited manually. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 12:54, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

@Coffeeandcrumbs: I've edited the sandbox to include everything between the date and the next space in the link, so it picks up August 31a rather than just August 31a. This is the simple that can be edited manually option, creating a self-reliant version would likely be complicated and inefficient. If this is good I can make a generic version (so new years can be created). --Danski454 (talk) 20:42, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
Looking good. Please proceed with creating the generic version. I am think at Template:Main Page history generic calendar or something like that. If you can think of a better location feel free to change. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 22:11, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Boyd Wagner--I Don't Know How the Page Was Edited

"Hello, I'm Danski454. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Boyd Wagner have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. 20:57, 23 June 2018 (UTC) 

   If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Boyd Wagner. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Danski454 (talk) 20:59, 23 June 2018 (UTC)."

I have no idea what this pertains to. I have never made an edit to a Wikipedia page in my life, and I don't share either my computer or IP address with anyone. In fact, I didn't even have Internet service in 2018, so I don't know how I could've done it. I may have visited the Boyd Wagner page at some point in time since it appears that he was born in my area, but I don't even remember doing that.

The edits in question were probably made by another person who had been assigned your IP address in June 2018. IP addresses automatically are reassigned to different users on a regular basis. You can ignore old warnings, and remove them if you want. Danski454 (talk) 19:12, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Dear Dan Your recent change was not correct. There were no public polls for any of the Editions of the book. I have listed the exact source of the vast majority of the votes, over several years. The cover of the 3rd Edition clearly stares " Over 200,000 votes from the fans, the experts and the critics. Please see my alternative changes or revert to the original that you changed recently. regards Muso805 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muso805 (talk • contribs) 08:30, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

editToken

Hello Danski454,

Your scripts User:Danski454/move-links.js and User:Danski454/RMcloser.js are no longer functional because they attempt to get an editToken from mw.user.tokens. The scripts should instead get a csrfToken. editTokens were removed from mw.user.tokens on October 3, 2019 at Phabricator during this edit as they were redundant to csrfTokens.– BrandonXLF (talk) 00:06, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Episode V (disambiguation)

Hi Danski. It sounds like I need to explain this a bit. I want to delete Episode V (disambiguation) because its target is also a disambiguation page. Thankfully, nothing links to it because it's a redirect that was recently created by accident. However, nominating it for deletion immediately would not be proper because it has edit history that goes back to 2005. I would like the histories of Episode V (disambiguation) and Episode Five to be switched before we proceed with deletion. Does this make sense? Connor Behan (talk) 15:59, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

@Connor Behan: Redirects ending in (disambiguation) are supposed to exist, so we know links to dabs are intentional, this is explained by the template on Episode V (disambiguation). (Also, even though the page is 15 years old, its history does not need preservation) Danski454 (talk) 16:04, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Our edits to WP:Rollback

Hi Danski- Sorry if I got that edit wrong. What you wrote in your edit summary seems to contradict with the first sentence of the Rollback article and with the "How it works section", hence my decision to revert despite my lack of expertise.

Do you know this rollback and the Twinkle one well? I use the latter fairly frequently, and have always been confused by the existence of another tool with the same name that requires elevated privileges. Do you know why the have the same name, and if anyone has ever proposed renaming one of them in order to reduce confusion? Eric talk 16:29, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

It's OK. Regarding your question, Rollback and Twinkle do essentially the same thing, hence have the same name. I'm not aware of any proposals to rename either. Danski454 (talk) 17:09, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Stubsearch function

Hi Danski454! Until recently I used the "Stub search" function under the "More" menu quite a lot, but in the last month or so I've been unable to find the stub cats I want with it. For example, I'm sorting Nepal geography stubs, but none of the provinces or zones show up when I type them into the search field (Province No. 5, Bagmati, Bheri, etc.). It doesn't seem to matter whether the stub cat is new or old. Maybe it's just a Nepal issue? Am I missing something, or has the code changed?

Re: July 2020

Criticism of Hinduism should not be redirecting to Anti-Hindu sentiment (as it was), so I removed the redirect. I see you've now edited it to the redirect to the correct page. I'll keep in mind to add a description for edits. Thanks for the tips. Mimosapigra (talk) 01:06, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

R2. Cross-namespace redirects

In this edit [1] your edit summary was "You can't redirect a page to draft space and then claim r2". What makes you think that? One of the recommended tool for new page curation, User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js, does exactly that. --John B123 (talk) 22:29, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

@John B123: Moving a page to draftspace and applying R2 to the redirect is fine. What you did was replace the original article with a redirect and tag it for speedy deletion. When moving a page to draft space, its content remains online, just as a draft. But if the article was converted to a redirect to a draft and then deleted, the history would be deleted. Danski454 (talk) 22:39, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
The article had been copied and pasted, not moved, from draft (hence the history merge request on the page) and so existed in both mainspace and draft. I had to manually place the redirect on the mainspace article as I couldn't move it because it already existed in draft. I also placed the R2 tag at that time. To be clear, the draft article existed when I place the redirect and tagged R2. If somebody subsequently makes the draft a redirect and then deletes it, that is beyond my control but doesn't make my actions incorrect. --John B123 (talk) 22:54, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

  • 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.
