Hi. I have been missing "my link" to the move to Commons tool for some time. Perhaps you could have a look at this and update link (http://tools.wmflabs.org/commonshelper/). Thank you. --MGA73 (talk) 17:36, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Is it on Labs yet? PiRSquared17 (talk) 12:36, 10 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for asking. At the moment I don't have plans to migrate it. Too many Toolserver-specific things I don't have time to migrate at the moment. However I do plan to collaborate with Luxo on https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/. That way we can improve the tool for everyone. His does most of what mine can already, the one or two extra features mine has (wildcard suffix for IP addresses, and selecting one wiki instead of all) can be implemented in his tool instead. –Krinkle^talk 14:48, 10 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Krinkle, Thanks for your edits in Urdu Wikipedia last night. I have no technical user who maintain such gadgets, javascript and css codes, If you maintain these scripts on regular basis it would be great support for us :-) Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 06:45, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Muhammad Shuaib,

Thank you for your message, I appreciate it. I unfortunately am not involved with the Urdu Wikipedia and can't really help much on a regular basis (not proactively). Yesterday I performed general maintenance based on critical issues or migration concerns that I found through searching all Wikimedia Foundation wikis at once (I am a global interface editor). However if you need any help with specific issues (e.g. you want to change how something looks or how something works), feel free to ask. Ask on either Steward requests/Miscellaneous or on my talk page here, and I'll see what I can do. –Krinkle^talk 15:34, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks :) edit tools don't load below the text editor while editing any page. Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 15:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Krinkle,

I wish to apply/become a Bureaucraft on the Beta Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki). Unfortunately, the stewards who have made accounts on the Beta Wikipedia seem to be inactive or retired, which is why I contacted Barras. Barras redirected me to your page here and suggested that you might be able to address this topic. Towards the end of 2013, I took a Wikibreak. When I came back to Wikipedia in 2014, I found that http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/User:Charmlet has been inactive for almost one year now. I would like to take leadership of his project and continue it further, as I believe it will be a success (I was involved in helping him with Charmlet's project, but it was never complete for release). Becoming a bureaucraft will allow me to use some of the importing tools, etc. to enhance/further the project. Please let me know your thoughts on this matter; I would greatly appreciate if you would consider me for this opportunity. --JustBerry (talk) 17:14, 24 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Additionally, I would be willing to help with the management of the site, including giving users rights w/application. I have noticed that users have tried to apply for user rights on the talk pages of multiple bureaucrats and stewards on the Beta Wikipedia, but, once again, they appear to be inactive/retired. Please let me know your thoughts on this as well. --JustBerry (talk) 17:14, 24 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Krinkle, we have created a template in urdu wikipedia for special sindhi characters, but these charachters dont appear in wiki pages except titles. If you would paste this template here in meta, these characters will appear, Because Nastaleeq font dosnt have support of these characters. So please fix this problem as these chars will appear in all wiki pages. Thanks :) --Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 09:16, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi! It's a great tool but unfortunately reveals only pages starting with letters A–C on my homewiki. As I don't want to delete all orphan talks straight away, deleting them all to make space for next results wouldn't be a good solution. If not listing all results then could it be possible to add parameter "from"? E.g "from=E" would list results starting with letter E, F, G etc. Thanks! 88.196.241.249 10:27, 20 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, in it.wiki we would like to replace NavFrame and "Collapsible tables" (section 2 and 3 in mw:Manual:Collapsible elements) with mw-collapsible. We have only two issues:

• with Collapsible tables there was the "autocollapse" option. I can't find this feature with "mw-collapsible" so I have used something like this in the global MediaWiki:Common.js:

if ($('.mw-collapsible').length > 1) {
    $('.mw-collapsible.mw-autocollapse').each(function (i, el) {
        if (!$(el).hasClass('mw-collapsed')) {
            $(el).addClass('mw-collapsed');
        }
    });
}

Then I have added mw-autocollapse class to the elements I want to auto-collapse. Is there a better way? Do you think this feature can be implementend directly in jquery.makeCollapsible.js?

• fadeIn and fadeOut are not always animating smoothly. Can I configure, just in case, fadeIn/fadeOut duration to zero ?

Thanks in advance. --Rotpunkt (talk) 13:56, 27 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

I experimented that the previous code doesn't always work (especially with "Preview"). --Rotpunkt (talk) 10:14, 28 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

The following code works better, but the initial closing animation is visible and annoying:

$(window).load(function () {
    if ($('.mw-collapsible').length > 1) {
        $('.mw-collapsible.mw-autocollapse').each(function (i, el) {
            if (!$(el).hasClass('mw-collapsed')) {
                $(el).find('.mw-collapsible-toggle > a').click();
            }
        });
    }
});

--Rotpunkt (talk) 17:00, 28 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Rotpunkt,

The makeCollapsible plugin has this functionality built-in already. When you give an element class mw-collapsible mw-collapsed it will be collapsed by default, and the initial auto collapse will be done without an animation (exactly what you want). You can see a demonstration at testwiki:User:Krinkle/Test suite for mw-collapsible. –Krinkle^talk 13:02, 29 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Krinkle, thanks for the answer, but there was a misunderstanding: what you have answered is not what we were looking for. With the old "Collapsible tables" if you put also the class "autocollapse" to a table it's collapsed "only" when there are more then one! :) I am going to make an example for you. --Rotpunkt (talk) 13:39, 29 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

The examples:

• The "collapsible tables" behaviour with "autocollapse" class:
  • it:Utente:Rotpunkt/OneTable => only 1 table is expanded
  • it:Utente:Rotpunkt/TwoTables => but with two tables they are collapsed
• Then, I have replicated that behaviour with the code you found in MediaWiki:Common.js:
  • it:Utente:Rotpunkt/OneCollapsible => only 1 table is expanded
  • it:Utente:Rotpunkt/TwoCollapsibles => but with two tables they are collapsed (this was the reason of "($('.mw-collapsible').length > 1) you found)

As you can see in it:Utente:Rotpunkt/TwoCollapsibles, the code "works", but however the initial animation is a problem.

--Rotpunkt (talk) 13:59, 29 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

I was thinking: implementing the autocollapse class outside the makeCollapsible plugin, as I was trying to do, could be even better. For example it allows you to filter the elements to which this behaviour apply, for example only tables, replacing the selector $('.mw-collapsible') with $('table.mw-collapsible'). --Rotpunkt (talk) 14:49, 29 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I have restricted the autocollapse behaviour to tables (working only with tables is ok for us) and added hide() for elements after the first tr (like for the old "collapsible tables" implementation):

$(window).load(function () {
    if ($('table.mw-collapsible').length > 1) {
        $('table.mw-collapsible.selfcollapsible').each(function (i, el) {
            if (!$(el).hasClass('mw-collapsed')) {
                $(el).find('tr:not(:first)').hide();
                $(el).find('.mw-collapsible-toggle > a').click();
            }
        });
    }
});

Now, with hide(), the animation is very fast (see it:Utente:Rotpunkt/TwoCollapsibles) although it has not gone away completely. It would be nice to remove it at all. --Rotpunkt (talk) 11:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yet another try: I have used:

$(function () {
    if ($('table.mw-collapsible').length > 1) {
        $('table.mw-collapsible.selfcollapsible').each(function (i, el) {
            if (!$(el).hasClass('mw-collapsed')) {
                $(el).addClass('mw-collapsed');
                $(el).find('tr:not(:first)').hide();
            }
        });
    }
});

It's similar to the first try but with also hide(). No animation at all but sometimes it starts with label "Hide" ("nascondi" in italian). I don't understand why, indeed with debug=true it always works fine: https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utente:Rotpunkt/TwoCollapsibles&debug=true works, instead without debug https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utente:Rotpunkt/TwoCollapsibles it shows initially "hide" ). --Rotpunkt (talk) 12:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

┌─────────────────────────────┘
I found the problem! It was related to localStorage:

• with $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled=false => makeCollapsible is called always after MediaWiki:Common.js, so it finds the mw-collapsed class I have added in Common.js and changes the toggle label from "collapse" to "expand"
• with $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled=true => makeCollapsible is sometimes called before MediaWiki:Common.js so the toggle label remains "collapse" ("nascondi" in italian). This execution order can be demonstrated putting console.log at the beginning of makeCollapsible and inside Common.js. I don't know if this is a bug.

So my final fix is:

$(function () {
    if ($('table.mw-collapsible').length > 1) {
        $('table.mw-collapsible.selfcollapsible').each(function (i, el) {
            if (!$(el).hasClass('mw-collapsed')) {
                // makeCollapsible already called?
                if ($(el).data('mw-made-collapsible')) {
                    // hide() speeds up table collapsing
                    $(el).find('tr:not(:first)').hide();
                    $(el).find('.mw-collapsible-toggle > a').click();
                } else {
                    $(el).addClass('mw-collapsed');
                }      
            }
        });
    }
});

Hi Krinkle, in itwiki we are trying to migrate all collapsible tables and NavFrames to mw-collapsible. I would like to point you to this issue: the same HTML code produces different results using mw-collapsible => expand/collapse is bold. Should it be fixed in jquery.makeCollapsible.js/jquery.makeCollapsible.css so that expand/collapse link is displayed "normal" ? Example:

Hi,

Thanks, that's great! They're not really meant to be periodic queries though. It's just a place where I (used to) publish the result of a query I was asked to run. Thanks for the update. If you're looking to do periodic queries, perhaps you want to help write a tool for it and store the results in Tool Labs and schedule the runs via a job queue on a grid. Note that https://tools.wmflabs.org/lists/ exists, and myself I reserved query (https://github.com/Krinkle/mw-tool-query/issues/1 plan]). I haven't had time to work on it yet, but it would replace things like Get Top RC Pages, Get Top RC Users, InterfaceFiles, SingleAuthorTalk, and others. –Krinkle^talk 09:40, 27 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, a query tool seems interesting. I don't know if these Get Top RC * and the other things could be merged into the lists tool, but I guess it's better to build a query tool for those scripts. Let me know if you have made any progress on it. P.S: if you want to re-write TSUsers, you could probably merge that also in the query tool.I guess that isn't possible.

Hi Krinkle,

I am planning to make wikEd and Extension:TemplateData compatible. wikEd uses its own rich-text iframe insteasd of the the standard textarea (see w:User:Cacycle/wikEd#Scripts, add-ons, and extensions for details). Does Extension:TemplateData have any hooks that wikEd could use or do you have any other suggestions to make this work? Cacycle (talk) 10:30, 27 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

TemplateData doesn't have hooks specifically for this, and I don't think it should. There is already a TextSelection API with a method for retrieving contents of a text area. I'd recommend WikiEd implements this method so that when things like EditWarning (or indeed TemplateData) need the contents of the text area (which may be hidden by WikiEd), it'll work as expected. CodeEditor (which, like WikiEd, has a custom iframe as well) implements this method, and EditWarning uses this API; thus the EditWarning works as expected when using CodeEditor. Once TemplateData uses this API, WikiEd can override the content retrieval the same way CodeEditor does. Please file a bug for TemplateData requesting it uses textSelection('getContents') instead of val(), similar to mediawiki-core's EditWarning module. –Krinkle^talk 18:53, 28 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi!

This is a complete shot in the dark, but perhaps you can point me in the right direction if you don't know the answer. The fuchsia tags in cvn-sw (like Possible gibberish? and Copyvio?) are rarely correct and I would like to help improve them. Do you know who I should talk to? Nirmos (talk) 20:09, 30 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Nirmos: I'd try #wikimedia-stewards and #countervandalism. The relevant code is in the CVNBot software. I haven't looked in its source code for a while, but here's what I found:

• Interface messages for editbig
• Detection logic for editbig
• Example configuration
• Actual configuration
  cvn-app4.wmflabs:/services/CVNBot8 (cvn-sw)/CVNBot.ini: editbig=1500 newbig=2000

So, it basically only relates to the size of the edit or page creation. Which, depending on what we know about the editing user, is considered a "Large edit/create" or "Possible copyvio/gibberish".

–Krinkle^talk 20:19, 30 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much. So, in AbuseFilter terms, the software currently only uses two variables: action and edit_delta. In that case, my question is: Why isn't it looking at added_lines? Is it because it's difficult to write a language-neutral filter? Is it a technical limitation? Or is it because of performance reasons? (I hope it's the first one because I can do that.) Nirmos (talk) 20:45, 30 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Nirmos: It's a technical limitation because the real-time feed of edits made on wikis (stream, API) provides meta data about changes (much like the Special:RecentChanges page). It doesn't contain full change diffs. That would be much too large. That kind of information is only available, in a performant and scalable way, when the software is implemented as a MediaWiki extension (like AbuseFilter). Alternatively, the bot would have to download every change from the wiki as it happens. The latter would not be worth the overhead. In the long run: I'd like to refactor the MediaWiki software so that change tags (e.g. those added by AbuseFilter) are available in the real-time feeds. The CVNBot IRC channels should become obsolete in favour of a more streamlined recent changes interface for patrollers (much like RTRC). –Krinkle^talk 02:32, 20 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Krinkle,

I copied AnonymousI18N code from Wikidata:MediaWiki:Common.js to Wmca:MediaWiki:Common.js, it's working pretty fine but seems that it doesn't remember my choice... it always fall back to English. I think I did something wrong, but I don't know what. So if you have a minute, I have granted you sysop on WMCA Wiki so you can edit as you wish. Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards. Benoit Rochon (talk) 21:07, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Benoit Rochon: Hi, Thanks for using AnonymousI18N! A few things:

• Firstly, I've updated WMCA to use the code from Commons instead of Wikidata. That shouldn't make any notable difference right now, but it just in case, update from commons:MediaWiki:Common.js for future reference.
• I'm not sure what problem you're experiencing. When I open ca.wikimedia.org in an Incognito window (e.g. not logged-in) it suggests me a language (Dutch, British English etc) and clicking that reloads the page. Then any subsequent link also gets that same 'uselang' parameter. I'm curious how you made a different "choice", though, because of the next point:
• It seems the dropdown menu does not appear in the sidebar at all. This is because AnonymousI18N looks for the "navigation" sidebar section. It seems WMCA renamed this to "About WMC-text". I can fix this for you (or do it yourself), by keeping the the section identifier back to "navigation". You're free to change the label (on wmca:MediaWiki:Navigation) to "The organisation" or "About WMC", but the internal ID for the top section on wmca:MediaWiki:Sidebar must be "navigation".

–Krinkle^talk 23:21, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello Krinkle, thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. Maybe this is why the Wiki doesn't remember my language choice... no dropdown menu... I didn't even realise that! Now, I'm not sure I understand the point #3 regarding the sidebar menu. Maybe I messed around with that menu a couple years ago, because I have had a lot of problems with the menu since then. Please feel free to correct it; if you need more accessibility, just let me know. Thanks in advance. Best regards. 14:49, 7 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Benoit Rochon: Okay, I've done, it. I didn't change it for you previously as I wanted to verify this is okay with you.

First thought is just take it offline, however, I wouldn't even know how many are actively using it. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:00, 6 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

@billinghurst: Thanks for your message. The portal script actually does something else, but looks very similar indeed. The confusion is understandable. The document.write() function is provided by the web browser as part of the DOM API. It is not provided by MediaWiki. This function is bad on pages downloaded from a website. However for popup "pages" created by JavaScript, using document.write will work fine. Look how it invokes popupWindow.document.write, not document.write. For popups, the HTML is coming from JavaScript, so the HTML stream is open and must be closed manually. For server-generated web pages, the server is in control of when the HTML is ready ("closed"). After that point, calling document.write() doesn't work, hence it's bad practice to use inside MediaWiki. –Krinkle^talk 03:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I was wondering do you know how to fix list that overlap image problem example, how it should be --Milicevic01 (talk) 20:08, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Milicevic01: Thanks for asking. The problem is that sr.wikipedia.org has a customisation in sr:MediaWiki:Common.css that removes the margin rule for the thumbnail:

div.thumb { margin: .1em;

and

div.tleft { margin-right:0.4em;

. Both of these make the margin much smaller, causing an overlap. The MediaWiki software provides a default margin of 1.4em that should not be changed. I recommend removing the rules related to "margin" from the Common.css file. I can help you with that change if you like. --–Krinkle^talk 20:29, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Krinkle. I noticed the global user contributions (guc) tool omits edit summaries if the edit was to a page section. It links to the section on →, then renders the section title in plaintext followed by a colon, but then gives the closing bracket.

For example, an edit shows in the

API as: "comment": "/* sectionfoo */ summary-by-editor",

guc page as: (→ sectionfoo:) (current)

Special:Contributions page as: (→‎sectionfoo: summary-by-editor) (current)

N.B. (I left in (current) for ease of reading.)

Can this be fixed? Thank you, and thanks for your continued maintenance of the tool's codebase. –84.92.129.87 23:05, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Not sure if this is known, but I noticed that edits to Flow boards do not show up in GUC. For example, I left a message a week ago here.

@Elitre (WMF): I didn't know about it specifically, but it doesn't surprise me. It's a natural side effect of Flow contributions not being stored in the MediaWiki revision database.

Hi! Wanted to suggest two things. 1) maybe sort Wikipedias by user's last edit? That is, if I edited project A two days ago and project B - one year ago, place project A as first, not second. 2) not so important, but maybe some table of contents could be enabled? --Edgars2007 (talk) 13:04, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Edgars2007: The GUC tool currently already shows newer changes before older changes of of each wiki. However the wikis themselves are in the order the results are found from the database. This is because it slow to query all databases. It seems preferable to show results as soon as possible instead of waiting for the last result of the last wiki before showing the first one (when re-ordering). However see phabricator:T70358 for a similar idea. In that idea there would be an option you can use to show all changes of all wikis together in one list (not per wiki), and show the last edit on top of all wikis. Does that sound useful? –Krinkle 01:20, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Actually yes. I like the idea @phab. But one note - personally I would like to have option to exclude some wikis, where I'm active, so the list is more usefull. At GUC tool it is OK to have all wikis, because they are separated. And one more note - preserve "(current)" - it is important. --Edgars2007 (talk) 07:33, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi Krinkle. I've encountered all this very old translations that ain't no longer useful. Is there any maintenance script that can delete all of them, regardless if they're equal to the source code or last editted by MediaWiki default? If not, how can I compile a raw list of those titles to get my bot to delete them? Thank you! —MarcoAurelio 21:25, 3 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Marco,

There is a maintenance script that can delete messages, but we don't have an automatic way of determining whether a message existed in the past. There are lots of reasons for having MediaWiki namespace pages with titles that do not correspond with currently existing software messages (e.g. custom messages for the sidebar, gadgets, etc.). However if you identified some message keys that can be deleted, leave a comment on this gist and I'll include them in the next run. Be sure to also include a little bit of information about where the message was originally for as I'll need to verify that before deleting. Thanks! --Krinkle (talk) 20:21, 4 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. All of those messages I linked to you were created by Barrie~metawiki in 2004/5/6. Now all of them are provided via translatewiki.net with updated texts, GENDER and PLURAL support, etc. I think we can safely delete them all if you ask me. Anyway, I can delete them too using the delete.py script for pywikibot, but I'll have to compile a list of those titles and I'm not good at mySQL...

Best regards, —MarcoAurelio 20:44, 4 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Marco: Ah, I see. It's not about unused messages, but about outdated translations that are no longer equal. Those will indeed need to be manually deleted. I've compiled a list for you at https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/11564. --Krinkle (talk) 20:59, 4 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Backinstadiums: It means GUC will look for contributions by any username that starts with that prefix. For example, edits for users who's username starts with "Krinkle" will also include "KrinkleBot". Or edits from all IP addresses that start with 208.80.154.* (mostly Wikimedia Labs). You can also place the percentage symbol to create a so-called "wildcard pattern", for example "208.80.154.%6" where it will find one or more characters in place of the percentage symbol.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the bot AAlertBot pops up in the RTRC feed, even with the Hide Bots box ticked. Can this be fixed? Sorry if you're the wrong person to ask. Thanks in advance. Lovkal (talk) 08:22, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Lovkal: Thanks for using RTRC! The "Hide bots" feature is based on the same system as you see on Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist. It relates to whether the edit was marked with the so-called "bot flag", this is similar to the "Minor edit" label most users can apply to their edit, except this one is for robots. When someone creates a bot, they need to first be approved by the community before they are able to use the "Bot flag". Before that, the bots edits will appear as normal edits. For User:AAlertBot, this community did approve the bot flag. See Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AAlertBot. However it was decided by the bot owner that some edits should not be marked as "bot" so that they can still receive watchlist notifications. See User:AAlertBot#Why doesn't the bot always use the bot flag? for more information.

I didn't know about AAlertBot before you mentioned it here, but from what I understand most of its edits will be hidden when you "Hide bots". However, some of its edits are intentionally not marked as "Bot". This is no different in RTRC, than on Special:RecentChanges or Special:Watchlist. --Krinkle (talk) 20:00, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I see. I just thought that it was a new bot that wasn't in some filter or something yet, since a great many of its edits cluttered up my feed earlier, but it looks like it was only temporary. Thanks anyway, Lovkal (talk) 20:03, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi Krinkle. I am hoping that you can help me or at least give me some pointers. I am having loading issues with those scripts that rewrite pages where the rewriting of the display is increasingly not happening and I am having to whack and whack page refresh. An example is MediaWiki:Gadget-SBHandler.js which I used to be able to use without issue on pages like User:COIBot/XWiki/canadaedrugstore.com, to get the rewritten lines in the last section, and in its tricks to blacklist. [This is just typical of tools that I use and clearly for the roles that I do, I load lots of these xwiki, so this is just representative.] As ResourceLoader has developed further, I am presuming that these tools have not kept pace with required developments to rewrite pages. Is there something that I can do to address these issues? And please use simpler terms as I am not a developer, just the occasional tweaker.

Other examples are the copyright/no source/no permission/license scripts at Commons. Maybe it is that I run lots of tabs on my browser, and maybe that is the issue, though my newbie pokes at the console don't inform this simpleton of much.

Hi NicoScribe,
Thanks for using GUC! The problem of "Structured discussion" (Flow) contributions missing from GUC is a known issue tracked at phab:T114777. The underlying problem is quite difficult to solve because the Flow system stores its data in a different database. They appear for you at Special:Contributions because the Flow system modifies that page to merge the results with its own database. However, when GUC looks at in the internal databases, the Flow edits are not there. I hope to find a good way to solve this, but at the moment, this is not an easy thing to solve. --Krinkle (talk) 19:23, 10 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi, since this modification the gadget is showing both prefix and "using" part (exemple) even if theres noting in the "using" parametre on MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js/local defaults --SleaY (talk) 22:03, 27 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi SleaY,

The order of loading is 1: commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js, 2: n:fr:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js/local_defaults, 3: commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js/fr.

Number 1 defines using in English, and no prefix.

Number 2 disables using, and adds French prefix.

Number 3 adds French using.

There are two ways of installing HotCat on a wiki: Override configuration only, or override configuration and translation. On fr.wikinews.org, HotCat is currently installed as "configuration only" which is only for changing how it works and the colours, not for translation. That is why the French translation is also loaded from Commons, which causes the problem. To avoid the problem you describe there are two options:

• If the translation from commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js/fr is good, then you can remove n:fr:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js/local_defaults. Perhaps create a redirect for the Help page.
• If you prefer the translations from n:fr:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js/local_defaults, then add the code window.hotcat_translations_from_commons = false; at the top of n:fr:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js. That way it will no longer load French translations from Commons.

Hi Krinkle :). Your change has broken something, now global js page is categorized under Deleteme. Any idea? Regards. —Sgd. Hasley 12:23, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Hasley, sorry about that. My edit was likely the first time since 2016 that your script was re-processed by the wiki software. This means the software change from 2016 that only processes balanced <nowiki> tags, is now applying. Reverting my edit does not remove it from the Deleteme category, unfortunately. But, adding the closing tag for "nowiki" fixes it. I have done this for you. Good day! (Technical details can be found at phab:T236828.) --Krinkle (talk) 16:37, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Krinkle! I'm have problem to use classes in a gadget. This message show to me in the console: JavaScript parse error: Parse error: Missing ; before statement in file 'MediaWiki:Gadget-fastbuttons.js/core.js' on line 25 The script can be acessed here. My question is: we cannot use class in gadgets? That’s weird, because the editor doesn’t show any error before save, but the parser do.

Hi! RTRC is loaded by calling mw.loader.load('ext.gadget.rtrc') but where is this gadget defined exactly? I cannot find it in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition and am not sure where else to look. Huji (talk) 20:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Huji: Hi! The answer to that questionsdepends on where and how this call exists. Are you referring to situations where users are importing User:Krinkle/RTRC.js in their user script? --Krinkle (talk) 21:52, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes; when I import User:Krinkle/RTRC.js it assumes an extension called `ext.gadget.rtrc` is already defined and will be loaded. But which code is defining and loading it? Huji (talk) 00:16, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Huji: The module ext.gadget.rtrc is not assumed to be defined. The code uses a conditional ternary. If you're on mediawiki.org where the original gadget exists, or if you're on a wiki with a local gadget by the same name, then it will ask mw.loader to make sure it is loaded (mw.loader will never load the same module twice, this is safe). If there is no RTRC gadget on the current wiki, then it enters the "else" case, which loads the gadget source code directly from mediawiki.org by URL. The getState() function returns null/false if the gadget is not defined. --Krinkle (talk) 01:09, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

You see, what I did not understand was that when you define rtrc on MediaWiki as a `type=general` gadget, it would be accessible as `ext.gadget.rtrc`. Which part of the RL code adds this `ext.gadget.` prefix to general type gadgets? Huji (talk) 11:54, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am an administrator of vec.wiki. We inserted the RTRC gadget and put it as default (here), but there is a problem, we cannot find a way to translate it into Veneto. We have translated Intuition - Rtrc to translatewiki (here), but even after more than two weeks, the translation has not appeared. I am writing to you for this very reason.

@Fierodelveneto: Deploying new translations for RTRC is currently delayed by a new release of the Intuition tool on Toolforge. I am working on this this week, but it is complicated by the switch for new domain names (tools.wmflabs.org -> toolforge.org). I hope to have it running again within two weeks. Sorry for the delay.

Perfect! I thank you for the clarification! Instead I thank you for creating it! PS. I saw that using the RTRC, the left sidebar hides automatically and is reactivated only by hovering over it with the mouse .. couldn't you create a gadget that allows users to use the sidebar in that way?

Hallo Timo,

Op nlwp zijn we bezig met het ontwikkelen van een kwaliteitsmodel voor artikelen op basis van ORES/ML.

Er wordt ook een paper geschreven over de samenwerking tussen de gemeenschap en ontwikkelaars. Zou jij eens mee willen kijken met je kennis van de wiki-gemeenschappen, maar ook met je technische achtergrond en de eerdere ontwikkeling van RTRC, naar Research:On the collaboration with Wikimedia Communities in the context of building Machine Learning Systems? Zijn de stappen volledig beschreven denk je, of missen we nog iets?

Dank voor je tijd alvast! Ciell (talk) 22:08, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

@217.117.125.83: Hi. This is working as expected. The tool shows "Limited to 20 results per wiki", and the latest 20 are indeed shown from ru.wikipedia.org (see also By wiki). For the older results, follow the "contribs" link next to your IP. --Krinkle (talk) 15:17, 20 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

FYI, I'm working on moving hlist out of Common.css and I'm down to the last few pages. Right now your User:Krinkle/Scripts/Perf.js is one of them. Previous script writers have used loader.load on the TemplateStyles page (which is Template:Flatlist/styles.css). Izno (talk) 06:03, 11 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Izno: Perf.js is not used on Meta-Wiki locally, it is included from my global.js on all wikis. Any styles local to Meta-Wiki are not relied upon by it. The line of code in question is specific to the Minerva skin, which does not load Common.css, and defines its own .hlist styles. In other skins, Perf.js does not use hlist. Feel free to ignore this one! Besides I think I'm the only person using this, I've not advertised or recommended Perf.js to other people (yet). Krinkle (talk) 04:18, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Dag Krinkle. S:nl:Sjabloon:Header op de nl-wikisource werkt slecht. Ik probeerde door kopieren van de s:en:Template:Header die sjabloon te repareren. Dat leidde bij een testkopieer-preview tot de volgende waarschuwingen :

• Pagina s:nl:Sjabloon:Header/styles.css heeft geen inhoud. Scriptfout: module "edition" bestaat niet.
• s:nl:Sjabloon:Header/main block Scriptfout: module "Header" bestaat niet.

Sjabloon:Header/styles.css kan test-gekopieerd worden zonder waarschuwing. Voor Sjabloon:Header/main block bleek verder nodig : Sjabloon:Header/main block/styles.css , en ook die kan test-gekopieerd worden zonder waarschuwing.

Vragen:Mogen Sjabloon:Header, Sjabloon:Header/styles.css, Sjabloon:Header/main block, Sjabloon:Header/main block/styles.css Module:Edition en Module:Header gekopieerd worden van de engelse naar de Nederlandse wikisource. Zijn deze samen voldoende om sjabloon Header te repareren? Wat is het effect op de tag Pages index, waar die gebruik maakt van Sjabloon:Header, met name verschijnt dan met de titelheader ook de bijbehorende footer ? Is er een storende interactie met s:nl:Sjabloon:Koptekst die niet gebruikt wordt onder de tag pages index ? Groet. S:nl:Gebruiker:Havang(nl) Havang(nl) (talk) 09:49, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Havang(nl) Hoi! In principe mag een ieder sjablonen van de ene wiki naar een andere kopieëren.

In 2018, admin for users/content was separated from admins that support with software development skips for programming code in the interface.

You would need membership of the "Inferface admin" group on your wiki. This is controlled in the same way as other admin groups, by burocrats on your wiki.

Meta:FormWizard/Config should change the content model as it now only shows as Wikitext. As it already was asked on the discussion page in 2021, I thought it might be a good Idea to ask someone directly. Kind regards,  Rodejong  💬 ✉️  20:43, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Rodejong Attempting this leads to a Invalid JSON: Syntax error message, which cancels the "Change content model of a page" action.

Looking at MediaWiki:Gadget-formWizard-core.js, I don't see how this page is loaded. I see references to subpages of this, but I don't see an how the page itself is loaded. Is it? And should the many subpages be changed as well? Krinkle (talk) 21:13, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I was attempting to install it on my own wiki at Miraheze, but I can't make head of tales of it, as I am not a coder. I'm just a copy/paster to be honest. I just saw that the page was in Wikitext. But the page is also in a strange place I think. In my logic, the page should be on: MediaWiki:Gadget-formWizard/Config in stead of Meta:FormWizard/Config, but I could be wrong.

The other files are also on MediaWiki → MediaWiki:Gadget-formWizard.js, MediaWiki:Gadget-formWizard.css and MediaWiki:Gadget-formWizard.

The only thing that could be a deciding factor is monolingual or multilingual which might be the reason for these many pages? Kind regards,  Rodejong  💬 ✉️  21:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Krinkle. After reading Tech/News/2024/10 I had already started writing a report in phab:T13555, but then I thought, you will know better than me, whether it just needs an update of mw:MediaWiki:Gadget-autonum.js and mw:MediaWiki:Gadget-autonum.css, or if an additon to the parsoid code with another HTML declarator is better (e.g. keeping class="mw-headline"), an which Phab task would be the right one. I am sure I would not be the only one being happy when autonumeration would work with Parsoid, as well. The first variant would certainly need some intermediate state for both the old and the new parsing behaviour, I assume. (Just as reference note recent discussion which remembered me of the Tech News info: start with question Probleme mit Fliegelflagel-sectionLinks. This is about a script by an unfortunately inactive user which sadly will stop working with Parsoid.) — Speravir – 02:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done! revision. Krinkle (talk) 21:28, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. I am surprised, though, that this seems to work (I cannot test this, or is Parsoid active on a test wiki available for all users?): [id]:is(h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6). Deducing from mw:Heading HTML changes I’d intuitively written it as :is(h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)[id]. — Speravir – 22:46, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is conventional to write CSS selectors, I believe, in the order: element tag, ID, class, attribute, pseudo classes, and pseudo elements. For example: div#myid.myclass[foo][bar="baz"]:disabled:hover::before.

The :is() feature falls under pseudo classes, and so I place them at the end. Similar to :not(), etc (List of CSS features in W3C specification). That's merely a convention, though! The order is flexible. Open a console and try the following:
document.querySelector('[id]:is(div)')
and
document.querySelector(':is(div)[id]').

You'll find that both work the same. See also: CSS selectors specification, Learn CSS selectors on MDN, List of CSS selectors on MDN. Krinkle (talk) 15:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ah, yes. Thank you for this enlightenment. Related: In German Wikipedia and several other wikis (cf. Tech/News/2024/18) a new discussion tool feature has been activated at start of the week which results at least on user talk pages in a doubled section counting, you can check my own page: check my own page or even your own. On pages like w:de:Wikipedia:Fragen zur Wikipedia or w:de:Wikipedia:Fragen von Neulingen this does not happen. — Speravir – 00:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I went reading an admin user talk page, and this displays a clean counting. I am confused. — Speravir – 00:58, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Speravir Discussion pages have their own DOM tree (if DiscussionTools is enabled).

I do not use the autonum gadget myself. For now, I have exceed the time I'm willing to spend on this gadget.

I suggest gathering support and awareness of other people in the community, to hopefully find someone who is able and willing to maintain this JS/CSS snippet for further modifications. I might circle back to this in the future, but it will probably be many months from now. Krinkle (talk) 15:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for information. — Speravir – 22:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just for the record: In the working pages the first branch of the if clause in mw:MediaWiki:Gadget-autonum.js is active, but in the pages not working the else branch meaning the CSS comes into play. There you’ve altered the rules upon my request with both the old and new DOM in mind. But someone other came up and decided to provide an intermediate (?) state with both a .mw-heading before/above a heading and a .mw-headline after/below it resulting in the doubled counting. I disabled the latter for now locally:

.tpl-autonum .mw-parser-output .mw-heading :is(h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) .mw-headline::before {
	counter-increment: unset;
	content: unset;
}
