userlist.js no longer contains a list of users with >10k edits

[edit]

Hey Novem Linguae, I hope you're doing well! I noticed the data source that this script and others use no longer contains a list of users with >10k edits as of today. It might just be a temporary issue but I thought I'd let you know. cc FormalDude Thanks, – Anne drew 02:32, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Looks like a bug. Thanks for reporting. Let me go track it down. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:52, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Code from yesterday's commit looks fine. I hit the regenerate button and it put 100,000 bytes back. Guess it was a one time glitch? Please let me know if it happens again. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:55, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Underline suggestion

[edit]

Hi Novem Linguae. I can see you've put quite a bit of effort into having this script deal with signatures with custom background and text colors (such as mine, which has a white background). If you're interested in trying other approaches, I suggest trying out a (pseudo-)underline by using border-bottom: 3px solid instead of background-color:. I find it clashes less with custom signatures, and also avoids situations where there is low contrast between the text and highlight. For illustration:

Of course, feel free to ignore this suggestion as you please. SilverLocust 💬 23:43, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @SilverLocust. Thanks for the idea and for the effort you put into building this example. I think this is a bit too subtle for my tastes, but I respect that others might really like this idea. If you have coding experience, feel free to create a fork, or submit a pull request. If you submit a pull request, let's put it behind a configuration variable such as window.userHighlighterSimpleSubtleUnderline. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Novem Linguae: That's fine. I noticed User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/UserHighlighterSimple/testcases#Bugs, which is why I came to make the suggestion. For the example above, I left the colors how you had them, but I've personally been using more vibrant colors to make up for the smaller size. See User:SilverLocust/UserUnderline (which is >90% just forked from User:Chlod/Scripts/UserHighlighter — I don't code). For my own personal use, I also want to know who's a page mover, which is why I haven't been using and/or forking your UserHighlighterSimple. SilverLocust 💬 07:21, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gotta keep an eye on those sneaky page movers. Hehehe. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:07, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
