Station lists

One other idea I had was a List of New York City Subway stations by ridership. This way, we could have minimalist templates, defer to the borough lists for the service bullets, and have a sortable column for ranked stations. Thoughts? Cards84664 20:37, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

@Cards84664: I guess we can make a list of all stations sorted by name, line (or services), borough, ridership, and ranking. That may not be too bad. I'd probably include the line name, but we could also include a plain list of services if necessary. Epicgenius (talk) 20:40, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

@Cards84664: Why do you want to eliminate service bullets and ridership from the infoboxes?--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Kew Gardens 613, I missed that part of Cards's comment. I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to have a minimalist template, because that would make an infobox less useful. Epicgenius (talk) 23:58, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Kew Gardens 613 To both of you, I have absolutely no intention of removing bullets and ridership from infoboxes. I was referring to the fact that the four station lists in their current form can not be displayed together without hitting a template limit. I intend this new list to be complementary to those lists, and have a sortable ridership column. Cards84664 02:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Cards84664, I see. In that case I would not mind doing that. This is what I initially interpreted your comment as saying. I thought KG613 brought up a point I hadn't seen earlier. Epicgenius (talk) 02:35, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Yea, I see "This way, we could have minimalist templates" could've been interpreted as "infobox templates" too, my bad. Cards84664 02:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I have a rough idea created at User:Cards84664/sandbox9. For numerical order, which alt do you prefer: (14th, 103rd, First, Times Square); (103rd, 14th, First, Times Square), (1st, 14th, 103rd, Times Square); or (1st, 103rd, 14th, Times Square)? Cards84664 18:01, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Cards84664, I think we should use the third one, which is the most straightforward. Epicgenius (talk) 18:09, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Air rights

The last section of Air rights deals with air rights in development, and could be elaborated with a description of what is meant by 'adjacent' building. My understanding is that air rights of several properties can be combined for one tall building as long as the multiple properties are continuous. FYI - My last stint as a NYC resident was 1980-85, upper East Side while working for Sloan-Kettering. First stint was born on Staten Island, at a home for Jewish unwed mothers. It was the Lakeview Home at Arrowchar, Staten Island, built in 1911 under supervision of Council of Jewish Women. I have a copy of the 1911 newspaper article. David notMD (talk) 03:09, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

David notMD, thanks for the heads up. I think you're correct about the ability to combine development rights from nearby buildings, and I'll work on adding info about that. Nice to see a fellow New Yorker - I was born in Manhattan, long after you left. Things have definitely changed a lot in over three decades. Epicgenius (talk) 04:45, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Editing news 2021 #1

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter

Reply tool

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.

The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[1]
The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[2] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
A large A/B test will start soon.[3] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.

New discussion tool

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[4] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

Next: Notifications

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

It's usually a straightforward fix, all uses need to use mw.config.get, such as converting wgTitle to mw.config.get('wgTitle'). There's some more info at mw:ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users)#Global wg variables. The full list is:

I can take care of cleaning them up for you if you like, or give you a full list if you want to handle it, just let me know! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:17, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Amorymeltzer, thanks for the message. I tried to clean these up, but unfortunately I don't have the time to do the other cleanups. Would you mind making these changes? I would appreciate it. Epicgenius (talk) 17:22, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Should be all set I think! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 18:06, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
