Scripting Assistance on WP:ITNC

Howdy! I have a question for you. I am thinking of a script that does the following on a monthly basis.

1. Parse through every ITNC nomination 2. Identify unique editor names who have contributed to the article review 3. Generate a table with the following fields - ITN Article name | Reviewer 4. Bonus if we can generate a table with the following fields - ITN Article Name | Reviewer | Reviewing Vote (Support / Oppose) 5. Bonus if we can generate another table with the following fields - ITN Article Name | RD or News Blurb | Posting Status | Posting Admin

Do you think you'd be able to help with this? Thanks. Ktin (talk) 20:22, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from XIVIIII (16:23, 19 September 2024)

Hello, is there anything major i should avoid doing when making minor edits? --XIVIIII (talk) 16:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

@XIVIIII: Hello. Generally, one should mark the edits as "minor" only if they consist of typo fixes, or general html/wikicode fixes, or minor grammatical corrections when these corrections do not change the meaning of that text. Other than that the edits should not be marked as minor. You can find more details on Help:Minor edit. Kindly let me know if you have any questions or doubts regarding Wikipedia. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:34, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I believe that will help me when making edits, so that I do not label edits incorrectly. XIVIIII (talk) 17:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jaboobierobbo (12:32, 5 October 2024)

Wagwan g can u tell me about editing and that --Jaboobierobbo (talk) 12:32, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Please stop KiranBOT

Your bot, in importing coordinates from Wikidata (which I think is a bad idea in the first place), is completely messing up by adding malformatted {{coord}} templates, as here. Please stop the bot at least until it's able to properly format the template. Deor (talk) 17:19, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@Deor: Hi. I had already stopped the bot, but due to other reason. Before filing the approval request for the bot, I had gone through coord template's documentation. Looks like I missed something? Would you kindly let me know all the formats of the coords template, or where can I find it? It would be appreciated a lot. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:27, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, the bot was adding templates in the form {{Coord|7°32'24"S|104°34'48"E|display=inline,title}} when the proper format would be {{Coord|7|32|24|S|104|34|48|E|display=inline,title}}. Of course, it was also omitting useful parameters such as "type" and "region", but I suppose there's no way to program a bot to handle those. In addition, it seems to have been adding coords twice, as here, requiring someone to delete the duplicate infobox parameter.

The business of indiscriminately importing coordinates from Wikidata has been discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates and elsewhere, and there has never been any consensus to do so. Whether you can get the bot to operate properly seems less important than whether this task should be undertaken at all. I think you would need to get consensus for that, either at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates or at some more general forum. Deor (talk) 18:04, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@Deor: Thanks. The task was requested at WP:BOTREQ. It seemed non-controversial, and assumed it had consensus. The duplicated addition was the reason I stopped the bot. I will first fix the format, then initiate a discussion at WikiProject Geographical coordinates. Thanks again, —usernamekiran (talk) 18:11, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Rockstargroup (14:47, 21 October 2024)

Hi. How do I change my username please? --Rockstargroup (talk) 14:47, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

• @Rockstargroup: Hi. Generally, the username change process is described at WP:CHU. But given that you have total of three edits, having a clean start is a better way. Simply log out of your current account, wait for a 2-3 days (a week is preferred), then create a new account with preferred username, and never log back to "Rockstargroup" account. Having multiple accounts is generally not a good idea, see WP:Socking. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Una Sama (16:36, 28 October 2024)

Hello :> I wanted to know what should I name the page when making a userbox on Wikipedia, I'm familiar with making the Userboxs itself on the fandom shipping wiki and on there when creating a new page you put it as template:Userbox/*insert name* as the title name so that way it's not a main page. So I wanted to ask if that's the same here or something similar to that when creating the page for userboxes. --Una Sama (talk) 16:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Una Sama: the title of the userbox should convey the idea about the topic of the userbox. Regarding the exact location/address of the userbox, unlike fandom, English Wikipedia prefers the userboxes in user-space, it can be either in your userspace, or in "User:UBX/*insert name*". eg: User:Johnl1479/Userbox/*nix, User:Jor.langneh/Linux Mint these two are in creator's own userspace, - or User:UBX/OpenBSD, which is a shared userspace. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:56, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from EdgarsKiecis (13:22, 8 July 2024)

Hello Sir,

Lately I have been making edits (mostly updating latest official data on the matters and countries I am interested in). Never had issues until now.

Decided to update my native country's WIKI page: https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvija

In the source code updated the IKP PPP (GDP PPP) data and GDP per capita (PPP). However, I wanted to add the nominal values as well: IKP nominālais (GDP nominal) and the same with GDP per capita (nominal). With all the official IMF data and references etc.

Nevertheless they do not appear on the right side.

Could you please spare a minute and help me out with it? Not sure how do I add something to the right side (overview) of the country's data. Whatever I do, I can only change existing data, but cannot add a new section.

Best regards, Edgars Kiecis --EdgarsKiecis (talk) 13:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Nonstop messages from KiranBOT

Hello @Usernamekiran: May I know why your bot KiranBOT has been messaging me this three times in a row, even after I denied it with the bots template? Thanks. — ‎‎‎hhypeboyh 💬 • ✏️ 03:13, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@HypeBoy: Hello. Thanks for bringing the issues to my notice. I was aware of that would happen because of the way you had denied the bot, and I was going to fix it soon. Regarding the repeated messages: the bot runs every night at 03:03, UTC. During every run, it was looking for KiranBOTmsgID:1253441495 on your talkpage, as part of the original message. The msg ID is unique to each message. As you were removing the message along with msg ID, the bot was thinking the message was never delivered, hence it was re-adding that message. I have fixed both these issues now, and no-one should receive duplicated messages. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: Thank you for fixing the issues. I didn't realize I denied your bot wrong. Should I change how I write my bot template? Best, — ‎‎‎hhypeboyh 💬 • ✏️ 01:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@HypeBoy: no. you denied it correctly, but my bot was looking for a few other templates, and not the one you had inserted. I have fixed the issue now - now it looks for all variants. In short, you do not have to make any changes, now all the variants of "nobots" have been covered. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Global Stars unto myself on Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PrimeBOT 32 (01:37, 22 November 2024)

Hello --Global Stars unto myself (talk) 01:37, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Global Stars unto myself: Hello. What is your question exactly? —usernamekiran (talk) 08:23, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Vanessa Nomisaghan (13:42, 22 November 2024)

Hey! I’m tryna create an article with my phone, how do edit the ‘quick facts’ content part ? --Vanessa Nomisaghan (talk) 13:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Vanessa Nomisaghan: Hello. I couldn't find new pages in your contribution history. But generally, on mobile, you should see a picture of pencil/pen on the right side of section title. Clicking on it will edit that particular section. For general questions like these, you would get better answers from multiple editors at WP:Teahouse. —usernamekiran (talk) 08:44, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from LuigiAK (11:53, 27 November 2024)

Good afternoon. I am wondering if I am able to write a bio on myself? Technically one might argue there is a conflict of interest in publishing on wiki as obviously I have a direct interest in the content and what I would like it to cover, but in this case it will be solely to ensure that browser searches for my name find a home with short and relevant information about me. Specifically, I am a debut author of historical fiction whose two novels will be published in 2025, and it's important for me readers have a place to source a bio about me. Advice? --LuigiAK (talk) 11:53, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

How about can I write for you? Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 00:13, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ateeb Ali Syed (00:08, 28 November 2024)

hey mentor: Is this type of update can be added in the history section of an article? 2024: Periodic Solution celebrates the 50th Anniversary of its operations in the Pakistan. --Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 00:08, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ateeb Ali Syed (00:12, 28 November 2024)

The head office is located in Zurich, with branch operations in Kenya and the United Arab Emirates, and subsidiaries in Canada, Hong Kong SAR, Pakistan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The bank also has representative offices in Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong SAR, Pakistan, and Türkiye. As of 31 December 2023, the bank employed a total of 7,629 people [5] in 559 offices. Is this correct way to add this information, I wrote it being quite neutral, and gave the necesery reference, if not what could I do to alternatively? --Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 00:12, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from LuigiAK (14:10, 11 December 2024)

Hi Ezlev --LuigiAK (talk) 14:10, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

There is a mop reserved in your name

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Hello. I was active as an IP editor for three years during 2016 to 2018. I saw your activity in page move venues, and ANI. I was never active in AFD as there is generally a prejudice against IP there. You showed promise, knowledge and temperament to become an admin. Biggest thing i was impressed by was your communication, followups and cheerful messages to recently inactive editors. I had a few names in my mind whom i thought would become admins. Lot of them have been admins, rest have gone inactive including paleo neonate, rentier and elmidae. I was thinking of coming back but my IP ranges are generally blocked. I had recently posted about that either on teahouse or AN or ANI, can't remember. I am definitely not going to create an account and i don't have much free time either. All you have to do is to increase your activity again — you were already on the right track and now you are an admin on Marathi wikipedia too. Best of luck!

Thank you. But I am not considering for RfA. Also, even if I thought about it, you forgot about the most important thing: I am low on content creation. Most of edits to mainspace in last 2-3 years have been minor, either reverting vandalism, or gnoming. This would tank almost any RfA. But thanks again for your kind words. (also copied from the talkpage) —usernamekiran (talk) 19:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, I passed my nightmare of an RfA without much content creation but it was just barely. You might have better luck at administrative elections where the scrutiny is less intense and there are not voting sections where opposing editors can go on and on about what they don't care for in your editing history. You still have questions but removing the voting statements cuts down on the vitriol. By the way, I think you'd make an excellent administrator so I'd encourage you to consider it. You sure have enough editing experience, more than the average RfA candidate. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:28, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

hehe. Thank you. This means a lot. It's difficult to gauge one's own contributions. Maybe I might consider running for election, or old-fashioned RfA after all. —usernamekiran (talk) 03:07, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
