Stubs and dabs

[edit]

No, Joseph Hatch (disambiguation) wasn't a stub - it's a disambiguation page. Dab pages should be orphans so don't need to be [tagged as such. (Actually this was an unnecessary, and malformed, dab page, but that's another couple of issues). Please take care not to tag dab pages as stubs. Thanks. PamD 07:17, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And you're doing it again: in this edit. When you use AWB you are responsible for the edits, and it's up to you to recognise a disambiguation page and not tag it as an uncategorised stub. It would be helpful to add the {{dab}} template, but at least please don't add {{stub}}. Thanks. PamD 13:12, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Persondata

[edit]

Please do not add {{persondata}} to articles, as you did here; it was recently deprecated by RfC. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 07:33, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, just realized its now been deprecated! —M@sssly 18:24, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ANSWER TO RECENT EDIT TO ZAC EFRON

[edit]

Hello Masssly! I just want to clarify if I made changes on Zac Efron. You can also write it on my talk the changes i've made to see it maybe because i wrote something wrong about Zac Efron. Thank you. Hope your consideration.AllysaSaymo21 (talk) 09:17, 5 June 2015 (UTC)AllysaSaymo21[reply]

Hi AllysaSaymo21, I reverted your edit because it appears you included "Efron is currently dating model Sami Miro" but you did not provide a reliable reference to that claim. If you still think it must be in the article, reinclude it but please provide a reference to that. If you need help with referencing, have alook at Help:Referencing for beginners. If you need further assistance or clarification, do not hesitate to contact me again. Kind Regards —M@sssly 16:28, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Empty pages

[edit]

When you come across an empty page, it's not particularly helpful to label it as Stub and Dead-end. Either nominate it for speedy deletion as A3, having no content, or look into the page history, and in this case notice that the creating editor has blanked it, so nominate it for deletion as G7. As I reminded you above, you are responsible for all your edits using AWB, so please take the time to actually look at each article you are editing. Beyond a point, carelessness becomes disruption. Thanks. PamD 13:18, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Or another possible action, which I've just done: redirected it to existing article at different capitalisation. PamD 13:26, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And here's another one: the creating editor blanked it with edit summary "moved to Laudato Sii , please delete this page....", it wasn't a useful redirect, so next time just tag it as G7, please, rather than calling it an orphan, dead-end, stub. It was empty. PamD 13:50, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to the Luzon article

[edit]

I'm sorry for editing without citations. I will supply them now.

Here are the relevant sources to this paragraph I have added.

Some of these Indianized kingdoms, Maynila and Tondo especially, became Islamized when the Sultanate of Brunei expanded it realms from Borneo to the Philippines. In addition, other kingdoms like the Huangdom of Ma-i and the Huangdom of Pangasinan had become tributary states to China and were largely Sinified kingdoms.

When does content upload? What happens if it is deleted?

[edit]

Hi,

I updated the Interventional Radiology page today with the results of an NIH-funded trial that is very relevant to the field, and to the article. My additions followed very clearly from the discussion of the SAMMPRIS study under "Disorders", "Vascular". I saved the page and checked that my contribution was added. Later in the day I returned to the page and my contribution was missing.

Is it not yet permanently uploaded? Did someone delete it? If so, who? How does the debate work about what content belongs and what content does not belong?

Thank you,

Your content got was uploaded but it got reverted by another editor. You can find that editor's name on the revision history of that article at the top right corner of the page. To know about about the page history, see Help:Page history. Best Regards —M@sssly 18:04, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My recent edit.

[edit]

Thanks for reversing my edit. I thought it was hilarious, and your message stating that you had reversed it was actually the best light-hearted response. I do however disagree that you said that people looking for accurate information will not find my humorous change funny. I believe there are plenty of people, some of which looking for accurate information would find warts located on Stephen Harper's genitals funny (true or not). However your non-intimidating, and gentle reminder was worded just so, so that next time I think about making a funny edit, I'll wait at least a week before doing so. You rule.

Re the white/brown bread thing, it is only recently in Western countries that brown bread has been marketed as a premium product. (I saw a documentary about this on TV.) Because white flour is more expensive to make, the transition from brown to white bread is a normal part of economic development, and white bread is marketed as the premium Western-style product in less developed countries (in the same way that instant coffee often is).

Perhaps if we can't agree on this, the whole issue should be cut from the article as it's slightly off the point? 2.221.31.196 (talk) 11:31, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I lived in both developing/ed countries and white bread to my best of knowledge is far less expensive than brown bread. This is strange considering the effort involved in producing white bread that is so refined. But it is probably so because it is consumed in large quantities hence mass produced to reduce its cost. Your point of view might have been true in the past but unfortunately not so in present times as many people are now realizing the superior nutritional quality of non-refined brown bread.—M@sssly 17:54, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bots

[edit]


You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 4

[edit]
Newsletter • May/June 2015

Hello friends! We have been hard at work these past two months. For this report:

The directory is live!

For the first time, we are happy to bring you an exhaustive, comprehensive WikiProject Directory. This directory endeavors to list every single WikiProject on the English Wikipedia, including those that don't participate in article assessment. In constructing the broadest possible definition, we have come up with a list of approximately 2,600 WikiProjects. The directory tracks activity statistics on the WikiProject's pages, and, for where it's available, statistics on the number of articles tracked by the WikiProject and the number of editors active on those articles. Complementing the directory are description pages for each project, listing usernames of people active on the WikiProject pages and the articles in the WikiProject's scope. This will help Wikipedians interested in a subject find each other, whether to seek feedback on an article or to revive an old project. (There is an opt-out option.) We have also come up with listings of related WikiProjects, listing the ten most relevant WikiProjects based on what articles they have in common. We would like to promote WikiProjects as interconnected systems, rather than isolated silos.

A tremendous amount of work went into preparing this directory. WikiProjects do not consistently categorize their pages, meaning we had to develop our own index to match WikiProjects with the articles in their scope. We also had to make some adjustments to how WikiProjects were categorized; indeed, I personally have racked up a few hundred edits re-categorizing WikiProjects. There remains more work to be done to make the WikiProject directory truly useful. In the meantime, take a look and feel free to leave feedback at the WikiProject X talk page.

Stuff in the works!

What have we been working on?

  • A new design template—This has been in the works for a while, of course. But our goal is to design something that is useful and cleanly presented on all browsers and at all screen resolutions while working within the confines of what MediaWiki has to offer. Additionally, we are working on designs for the sub-components featured on the main project page.
  • A new WikiProject talk page banner in Lua—Work has begun on implementing the WikiProject banner in Lua. The goal is to create a banner template that can be usable by any WikiProject in lieu of having its own template. Work has slowed down for now to focus on higher priority items, but we are interested in your thoughts on how we could go about creating a more useful project banner. We have a draft module on Test Wikipedia, with a demonstration.
  • New discussion reports—We have over 4.8 million articles on the English Wikipedia, and almost as many talk pages as well. But what happens when someone posts on a talk page? What if no one is watching that talk page? We are currently testing out a system for an automatically-updating new discussions list, like RFC for WikiProjects. We currently have five test pages up for the WikiProjects on cannabis, cognitive science, evolutionary biology, and Ghana.
  • SuggestBot for WikiProjects—We have asked the maintainer of SuggestBot to make some minor adjustments to SuggestBot that will allow it to post regular reports to those WikiProjects that ask for them. Stay tuned!
  • Semi-automated article assessment—Using the new revision scoring service and another system currently under development, WikiProjects will be getting a new tool to facilitate the article assessment process by providing article quality/importance predictions for articles yet to be assessed. Aside from helping WikiProjects get through their backlogs, the goal is to help WikiProjects with collecting metrics and triaging their work. Semi-automation of this process will help achieve consistent results and keep the process running smoothly, as automation does on other parts of Wikipedia.

Want us to work on any other tools? Interested in volunteering? Leave a note on our talk page.

The WikiProject watchers report is back!

The database report which lists WikiProjects according to the number of watchers (i.e., people that have the project on their watchlist), is back! The report stopped being updated a year ago, following the deactivation of the Toolserver, but a replacement report has been generated.
