Wikipedia:Interface administrators' noticeboard

Welcome to the interface administrators' noticeboard

This is the interface administrator noticeboard, for discussion of interface administrators and coordination of edits to the interface.

Currently only interface administrators can undelete JS/CSS pages, if you have an uncontroversial undelete or deleted version retrieval request, please list it below.

Any administrator can delete JS/CSS/JSON pages, for speedy deletions just use a CSD template on the page or its talk page.

Individual requests for edits to interface or user JavaScript/CSS pages should continue to be made on their respective talk pages.

Redlinked category

The latest run of Special:WantedCategories features a redlinked Category:New Pages, populated only by a user's private css settings page. I've seen this category once before, per Wikipedia:Interface_administrators'_noticeboard/Archive_3#Redlinked category, which was caused by the same user as this new appearance — and that user still has no edit history aside from their own private js and css pages.

Since I don't have the privileges to edit other users' private settings pages, could somebody edit the page to remove the redlinked category from it? (Given the fact that their own private settings pages are the user's only edits, we can't rely on them being around enough to trust that they would remove the category promptly on their own if asked, though they should probably still be notified to not do this again in the future just in case.)

Edit request

Hi all, would someone be able to <nowiki>...</nowiki> User:Michael.C.Wright/common.js? It is currently populating some subcategories. Michael.C.Wright (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is currently blocked (ping for courtesy), so they cannot do it themselves. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:52, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Done. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:56, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

I need to retain these rights under policy as the operator of MusikBot II, but I've made an edit anyway to keep the bot happy. — MusikAnimal ^talk 07:16, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, yes seems fine esp as your bot is active. Anyone know if there is a feature request open that is blocking letting that gadget use the json directly? — xaosflux ^Talk 10:39, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

(Which would also need to incorporate input validations that the bot handles) — xaosflux ^Talk 10:40, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

The feature request that would support using that JSON directly is AFAIK implemented since A While Ago, it just requires some work on the gadget. Izno (talk) 18:09, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

(I assume this is about GeonoticeSync.) Izno (talk) 18:10, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Yea, that's really all that bot has to do (although it also does does input validation, which I supposed could also be built in to lua when processing the linked json). — xaosflux ^Talk 19:29, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
