Category:Articles with missing files - again

Hey there. Can you work you little magic trick on Category:Articles with missing files to get rid of the false positives again? It is now over 11,000 articles and I am sure that some should not be listed. Have fun at Wikimania. Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:26, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Blocked IP

I had reported the IP at AIV before I saw the block. If you see the evidence I presented there, you might agree that the block could be longer. AutomaticStrikeout  ?  01:30, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Maybe, but I think 2 weeks is fine for now. If the disruption continues I'll let another admin decide if they want to extend it. Legoktm (talk) 01:34, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
I suppose. Actually, I just hope we are not setting a dangerous precedent here by refusing to allow people to follow their religious principles in their !votes. I know this is an extreme case, but where do we draw the line? AutomaticStrikeout  ?  01:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
There's no way that guy is a serious Muslim. Look at this diff for example if you don't believe me. —Soap— 01:57, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, you're probably right. AutomaticStrikeout  ?  02:15, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Flags

Hey, Lego. Mind tossing some reviewer and rollbacker flags in the direction of my alt account? — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 05:30, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Done. Legoktm (talk) 05:42, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Much obliged. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 05:47, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Annoying request

Okay, I'm really sorry to be annoying, but I'm having trouble with HBC Archive Indexerbot, and I can't seem to resolve them. I'm apparently completely incompetent, but I sought advice at the Teahouse and IRC, to no avail. Could you please take a look? User_talk:Jackson_Peebles and User_talk:Jackson_Peebles/Archive Index. Thanks, and sorry! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 19:33, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

wikiproject watchlist tool

Hi Legoktm,

I wonder if you are aware that your wikiproject watchlist tool is much slower than the one provided by user:dispenser. If so, is there anything you can do to speed it up? Thanks in advance. XOttawahitech (talk) 20:38, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Um, probably not. "My" tool was actually written by User:Tim1357 and I just copied it to my directory since his account expired. It's probably best if you use Dispenser's tool since he actually maintains and updates it. Legoktm (talk) 01:33, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

AFCH ping

Hey, pinged you on IRC earlier, just cross-messaging here for good measure: when you get a chance, please push the current `master` to the gadget file on-wiki, and do the same for the `beta` – note that for the beta script (not the master script) some changes to the afc push script mapping will be necessary due to a new css file (you'll see when you look at the /src). Theopolisme (talk) 00:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Noticed you've been editing recently; if you're unable to help with this, I totally understand, but it'd be helpful to know so I can try to recruit someone else to help (and/or fork your move script to make the necessary changes myself). Theopolisme (talk) 00:12, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I've just been caught up with other things lately and haven't had time to review all the changes. I'll get to it tommorrow. Legoktm (talk) 08:55, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Tech News: 2013-34;

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

New features

  • The previous version of MediaWiki (1.22/wmf13) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on August 15. It was enabled on non-Wikipedia sites on August 19, and on all Wikipedias on August 22. [1]
  • The latest version of MediaWiki (1.22/wmf14) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on August 22. It will be enabled on non-Wikipedia sites on August 26, and on all Wikipedias on August 29. [2]
  • You can now use new styles of galleries. Please give feedback to User:Bawolff. [3]
  • You can now visit a random page in a category, for example Special:RandomInCategory/Science. (25931) [4]
  • You can now use the <wbr> HTML5 tag to say where a word can be cut. (52468) [5]
  • Gadget authors: you can now use the wikipage.content hook, so that your scripts are re-run when a page is changed after the document-ready event (for example using Ajax). (30713) [6]

Problems fixed

  • There was a bug where file redirects didn't work when a file was renamed; it is now fixed. There is still an issue with purging, but it should be fixed soon. (52200)
  • Maintenance reports provided by special pages will now all be updated on each wiki every six months. This will for example give you recent information on uncategorized pages, unused templates and most wanted pages (see details).
  • There was a bug that caused false positives for anti-blanking edit filters; it is now fixed. (52077) [7]

VisualEditor news

  • The "edit" and "edit source" tabs and section edit links can now be changed more easily; for example, some wikis are using "edit source" for wikitext editing, and "edit beta" for VisualEditor. You can ask for the same change in bugzilla.
  • You can now edit references that are added inside a <references> block. (51741)
  • You can now test on mediawiki.org new basic tools to add and edit struck text (with the button for the <s> tag), lower text ( for <sub>), upper text ( for <sup>), underlined text ( for <u>), computer code ( for <code> and <tt>), math text ( for <math>), Egyptian hieroglyphs ( for <hiero>), and to say that text is in another language ( for lang="ar" dir="rtl"). (51609, 51612, 51611, 51590, 51610, 52352)
  • You can now use VisualEditor with the Opera browser. [8]

Future

  • Starting on August 26, you will be able to use data from Wikidata on Wikivoyage sites. [9]
  • Starting on August 27, you will also get notifications on the mobile site if you're logged in to a wiki using notifications. [10]
  • Starting on August 28, all users with an account will be using HTTPS to access Wikimedia sites. HTTPS brings better security and improves your privacy. Some countries (like China) will not use HTTPS. If HTTPS causes problems for you, tell us on meta. [11]
  • Starting on August 29, you will get the code editor interface to edit JavaScript and CSS pages on all wikis. [12]
  • The plan to use Solr for search in MediaWiki was changed; instead, Elasticsearch is now planned. [13]

Sockmaster Shakeheitor

I see you reported User:Shakeheitor for sockpuppetry. I thought it might be worth pointing out that there's a very good chance that this is the same editor as the blocked socker User:Johnericlee. The Shakeheitor account was created two days after Johnericlee was blocked, they both edit the same kinds of articles, Shakeheitor reverted an edit of mine from two months ago that was part of an MOS dispute I had with Johnericlee, and just like Johnericlee created a hoax RfA so has Shakeheitor. Not sure if it really matters but I thought it was worth pointing out the similarities. SQGibbon (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the tip. User:DoRD has updated Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shakeheitor, and I've now indeffed the account. If you notice any more socks popup, please file an WP:SPI. Thanks! Legoktm (talk) 19:38, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Legobot

Hi,

Appreciate if you could take a look at Legobot; Task 18 apparently hasn't run since 08 August. Thank you! Maralia (talk) 19:41, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, fixed now. Legoktm (talk) 05:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you very much! Maralia (talk) 05:55, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

"Your user rights were changed by Legoktm"!

Hi Legoktm, I just got a message saying "Your user rights were changed by Legoktm. You are no longer a member of this group: confirmed." Did I break some rule? --Space simian (talk) 07:52, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You are now autoconfirmed, so the confirmed flag is redundant. --Rschen7754 08:39, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Ah, thanks for the explanation. It coincided with other events so I wondered if it was related. --Space simian (talk) 07:00, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Beta and master have both been updated when you get a chance. Thanks as usual! Theopolisme (talk) 22:22, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

@Theopolisme: both master and beta pushed. I'll be on IRC for another hour in case anyone reports issues and needs a rollback. Legoktm (talk) 05:38, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

As discussed on IRC, a list of FPP'd templates whose links should be confirmed with Wikidata:

There's tons more—I've just been going through this—but I figure that should keep you busy for a while. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 02:13, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

fml. I'm going to write a script to do this. Legoktm (talk) 05:39, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
