Adminhighlighter for Commons

Do you know whether there's an adminhighlighter for Commons? (Or how to modify your script so it works there?) Thanks, – czar 18:30, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

I thought Cyberbot I handles the admin highlighting over there. Is there not a script to make use of it?—cyberpowerChat:Limited Access 18:50, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
@Czar: I've tweaked Theopolisme's script for you to use on commons - commons:User:NQ/temp.js. This is just a temporary measure till Theopolisme replies. The list of sysops for the script is at commons:User:NQ/adminlist.js and needs to be updated manually. - NQ (talk) 19:13, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
Appreciated. I'm really spoiled by all the tools at enwp—there's a very clear lack of parity at Commons! – czar 19:19, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi guys, I think it would be great to move the script to meta and add a customizable list of titles of admin lists for each wiki. I can probably work on something like that in the next few days, unless someone wants to jump on it sooner... Theopolisme (talk) 19:24, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

That's a great idea. The script would need a bot (like Amalthea's on enwiki) to update the individual lists periodically though right? - NQ (talk) 04:19, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

College football articles by quality statistics: importance ratings

Theopolisme, thanks again for your help with Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/College football articles by quality log a few weeks back. On a similar note, Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/College football articles by quality statistics doesn't seem to be explicitly tracking articles with an importance rating of "Bottom", e.g Talk:Aaron Smith (American football). These articles are falling in the "Other" column. Is there a way to adjust the table so that it recognizes "Bottom" an importance class with its own dedicated column?

Rotten tomatoes issue

Could you kindly update your code for the {{Rotten Tomatoes score}} template to use the actual RottenTomatoes id (e.g. m/avengers_age_of_ultron/) instead of the imdb id? This way, older films that are not linked to Rotten Tomatoes with their IMDb-ID (e.g. Landscape in the Mist), as well as television seasons, episodes, films and more can be used in the template.

The problem has already been adressed on the talk page a few months ago: here.

Thank you, Rayukk (talk) 14:07, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Theopolisme. See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 September 28#Template:Rotten Tomatoes score/0102558, a discussion which was started a month ago, on September 8. I see that you were not formally notified on your talk page, so I am doing that now. I also see that your last two edits were on August 6 (to this talk page) and July 18. Hoping that you at least have email notifications turned on, and will respond to that. See also Template talk:Rotten Tomatoes score. This issue has become a real time sink for the community – I patrol for {{error}} transclusions, and Rotten Tomatoes score errors keep popping up there. Wbm1058 (talk) 13:52, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!

Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).

If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:

Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.

We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)
