Welcome!
Hello, Alexis Jazz, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
Hi Alexis Jazz, I saw you moved the Spongebob licensing discussion to an RfC page. If I'm reading it correctly, it's not a live RfC yet. I wanted to let you know that my colleague posted an update at the end of the discussion. Cheers, BChoo (WMF) (talk) 19:04, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
BChoo, thanks! The reason I did that was because the discussion had been automatically archived. Having long discussion threads for a long period of time on the village pumps is kind of discouraged as it makes them more difficult to navigate/load, so I unarchived it to its own page. It's not strictly an RfC, but every other discussion that was split off to its own subpage seemingly became an RfC, so I followed the naming pattern. Too bad Nick didn't reply, but I can guess why.. Sending a reply would sort of acknowledge their mistake. At least they took action. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexis Jazz: I don't think DT works fine on Urdu Wikipedia. Is there a way to localise your tool? Responding on talk pages is a very complex task on Urdu Wikipedia. I mean, everytime, I have to open the source-editor and type the response. I'd want to provide Urdu translations to your tool if I know how it works. Best regards, ─ Aafī(talk)19:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TheAafi, there is! See User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum/Mumbo jumbo#Translations. In short, search User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum-extra.js for FTT.msgsObj.qqq and copy that section to a place you can edit. The next section begins at "FTT.msgsObj.nl" for the Dutch (NL/NederLands) translation. Translate the entries (translate only the part after the colon) and I'll add it. Don't translate entries that start with "DUPLICATE:". They automatically copy the content from another entry for technical reasons. Most words that are in all caps shouldn't be translated either. For example "USER" gets replaced with a username. But don't worry too much about that, I'll check it to be sure. A partial translation is also welcome. The translations for the most basic elements of the interface are automatically imported from MediaWiki. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TheAafi, great! Since you're doing it off-wiki (I'm not sure why?), can everyone who contributes state somewhere on-wiki the license that applies? The original is public domain (use e.g. CC0 for public domain), but CC BY(-SA) 3.0 or higher also works. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TheAafi, I just noticed I made a mistake that probably caused the translation not to load. It should load now. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aafi, thanks! What does کارندہ mean? Google translate says "the worker" and Bing translate says "agent". If you're looking to change " نیا قطعہ" (new section) in that edit summary, it originates from w:ur:میڈیاویکی:Newsection which in turn is defined at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Newsection/ur. If you're looking to change "Factotum", it's the name of the script. I made it customizable if needed, put window.FTTsummaryCredit = ' [[[w:en:User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum|link to Factotum etc something something]]]'; in common.js to change it. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 06:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.
Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
Without caching. Each script takes 400–500ms. A particularly large script takes 1.11 s! Internet download speed is 50 Mbps.With caching enabled. Each script takes just 1-2 ms to load.
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
Doǵu/Adiutor(pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
/afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
/ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
/redirect-helper(pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
/rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
Guycn2/UserInfoPopup(pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.
Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
Jonesey/common(pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
/AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
/Selective Rollback(pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
/flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
/randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates.
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!
Just letting you know that it's now not showing up for section headers, presumably due to the HTML heading changes from before that recently made it to V22. I would assume therefore that this code needs to be changed:
if(mw.config.get('skin')=='vector-2022'){//20240628 HTML changed, .mw-editsection in skins other than vector-2022 seems to be under .mw-heading now which also includes the h2/h3/etcFTTmwEditSec='#mw-content-text H1>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H2>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H3>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H4>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H5>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H6>.mw-editsection';}else{FTTmwEditSec='#mw-content-text .mw-heading>.mw-editsection';}
(but I couldn't get it to work fiddling around with it myself, so maybe there's more to it than that). Obviously feel free to deal with this at your leisure (or not at all). — Qwerfjkltalk19:38, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome

Hi Alexis Jazz, I'm trawling through local orphaned files for Commons-uploadable goodies and saw your upload File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.png. My instinct would be that it's below the threshold of originality and good to upload to Commons, and indeed you tagged it as PD when you uploaded it. But (A) I vaguely understand that the US has given special protection to Olympics-related logos, and (B) someone uploaded a vector version of the same image as a non-free file. Any chance you could educate me on this? Your comments at Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2018/02#Copyright in 2018 Winter Olympics photos/videos gave me a chuckle, so I assume you've got some familiarity with IOC's broad view of its place in the world. Ajpolino (talk) 10:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Alexis Jazz. Could you take a look at File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.svg given that you uploaded File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.png as {{PD-logo}}? If you're fairly confident the png logo is PD (I'm not suggesting it isn't), then there's no need for a non-free vector version if the only reason for it being non-free is because it's a vector version. I know you didn't upload the svg, but perhaps you could explain to the person who did why it doesn't need to be non-free. Both files then should probably be tagged with {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}}. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajpolino, @Marchjuly, sorry I didn't get around to answering. Problem with the "vector" logo is that it contains a large chunk of raster graphics. Some years ago @Conor M98 uploaded that from Fandom. Now they uploaded it again without a source. See Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2021 July 22#File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.svg. When you overlay them, you see significant differences. As the PNG is the only file with an official source, IMHO the SVG should be deleted (again). When I uploaded File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.png I was blocked on Commons, so I didn't tag it to be moved. Looks like I didn't tag it as PD-USonly, and I'm not 100% sure what the source country is for this logo. Not Italy, that much I'm willing to bet. It could be the US or maybe Switzerland (where the IOC is from). In case of the US, it doesn't exceed the threshold for originality. In case of Switzerland, it's not fully clear: c:Commons:Threshold of originality#Switzerland says Swiss copyright law defines works as "literary and artistic intellectual creations with individual character, irrespective of their value or purpose". Frankly I think the logo is too generic/simplistic to have "individual character", but IANAL.
If you believe the source country is not the US and it exceeds the TOO of the source country, tag it PD-USonly and keep it here. If you believe it doesn't exceed the TOO for whatever the source country is, move it to Commons. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 05:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What you've describe above sounds like something better discussed at FFD instead of tagging for speedy deletion. Which license to use, whether the svg needs to go, whether it's subject to c:COM:Switerland, etc. probably can resolved in one discussion. If, however, the svg version is a reupload of a previous svg version deleted per a consensus established at FFD, you could tag it for speedy deletion per WP:G4. I'm using the word "you" alot because you seem to know the most about these two files and their possible copyright status. I'm not using the word because I think you've done something wrong here. Finally, if you've (again not implying anything wrong here) doubts about whether the file is OK as "PD-logo", I agree that it should be fine as "PD-ineligible-USonly", but I think the home country of the local organizing committee can be considered the country of first publication since I believe most Olympic logos (excluding the Olympic Rings themselves) are created by the local organizing committee and thus fall under the copyright laws of whichever country is hosting the games. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:55, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Marchjuly, if the local organizing committee creates and publishes the logos (which you seem not fully sure about), Italy may be the source country after all. I assumed (mother of all failure) that the IOC designed these centrally. The source country rule is not law (when it comes to TOO), it's just a rule on Commons that exists mainly to protect re-users from the source country. The logic being that people from the source country are more likely to try and re-use it. Following the spirit of that logic, Switzerland should never be the source country and Italy may or may not be the source country. Italy has a rather high TOO, so in Italy I expect it to be PD as well, but IANAL. All PD license tags are merely opinions anyway. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 16:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
