problem with Baranbot

[edit]

hi. baran bot is flagging pages that are in my user space, NOT in drafts. can you please fix this??? thanks!! Sm8900 (talk) 04:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sm8900, the bot is functioning as expected. It's notifying you because your userspace drafts contain AfC submission templates. Just a reminder, userspace isn't intended for hosting drafts indefinitely. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ok thanks Sm8900 (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2]
  • Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]

Pending changes stat

[edit]

Is a tool available to check the stats of the pending changes reviewed by user? RangersRus (talk) 16:38, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RangersRus: There is a Quarry query that shows the count of pending changes accepted by users, but unfortunately, we don't have any data on how many changes have been declined. You can check it out here. This currently counts for 30 users, but if you need data for more users, like 50-100, I’d be happy to help you set up a report in your sandbox. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to check only your pending changes accepts count, you can run this query. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thank you! This query helps. RangersRus (talk) 18:35, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fix a random page lacking sources

Cielquiparle (talk) 11:38, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cielquiparle: Please add a line in your message to inform users about the User:DreamRimmer/DriveEditSummary.js script. When installed, it will display a +NOV24 button just above the Save, Preview, and Changes buttons. Clicking this button will add a preloaded edit summary with #NOV24 hashtag. Note that it only works in the source editor, not in the visual editor. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:45, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Too complicated. The simplicity of the Welcome message is the appeal. Can we explain the thing for the source editors somewhere else? Cielquiparle (talk) 11:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can we add There is a userscript at User:DreamRimmer/DriveEditSummary.js that helps add a preloaded edit summary with #NOV24 text.? – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:54, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

Updates for editors

  • Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [4]
  • Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
  • The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [5]
  • View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

  • XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [6]

In depth

  • Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
  • The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

  • MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

NPP School

[edit]

Hello @DreamRimmer, Hope you are well. I noticed on the NPP page that you have two open slots for students, and I would love the opportunity to become one of them. I am eager to learn and would be grateful to study under your guidance. Thank you very much for considering my request. Baqi:) (talk) 11:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can start now, but please make sure to read all the instructions on the training page and go through the new pages patrol guidelines and help pages before you begin. Make sure to answer each question in detail, and try to complete one section at a time. Once you are done with a section, ping me, and I will review your answers before you move on to the next one. If you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask here on my talk page or on the training talk page. Wishing you the best of luck! – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yeah, certainly. I will answer all the questions thoroughly and in detail, and only after carefully reading all the policies. Thank you very much! Baqi:) (talk) 16:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NPP School

[edit]

Hey DreamRimmer. I would like to receive training for New Pages Patrol. I have read through the notability and deletion criteria till now and it sounds quite interesting to me.

NPP school (post-drive)

[edit]

Hello! I’m hoping in the post-drive December to begin working with the NPP. I was granted access to the tools way back when the backlog was something like 18k and enjoyed the work. Do you think you might have a slot for me as a student in a month or so? I know others are available now but I’m in no rush and I’ve been impressed with your URA work. Happy to discuss at a later time but just wanted to bring it up. Cheers, Kazamzam (talk) 11:17, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kazamzam: I am currently training three users, and I am hoping one of them will finish within the next month, which should open up a slot. I will get in touch with you in about 30 days, but feel free to remind me if you'd like! – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:04, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also want to take a moment to appreciate the great work you've done on the FEB24 and NOV24 drives. Thank you for your efforts, and I look forward to collaborating with you on future projects :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase function getAllStatements changed to behave like getBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [9]
  • Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.

In depth

  • Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [10]

Meetings and events

  • 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.

New Page Patrol Advice

[edit]

Hey @DreamRimmer,

I have seen you have listed yourself under WP:NPP/S. Thankfully we are in the same country and timezone! Though I am not free for a full schooling course, I would request you some advice. I would like to request NPP soon, and would like you to review my contributions, and tell me what can I do more to be able to not be rejected the perm. Any areas I can contribute more while working towards that goal?

Thanks for your time and contributions towards the wiki! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay in responding. I will review your contribution tomorrow and provide some feedback. – DreamRimmer (talk) 18:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reference drive abomination
