Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Hi - I've had so many problems with scripts I've deleted most of them. I'd like advice on what are the best scripts to install to:
Anything else that might give me useful information about editors. I'm not trying to do tricky things with scripts, I don't want to get too ambitious and mess things up again. In fact I'm still getting edit conflict errors just when saving so maybe I need to get rid of something else. I've lost the bit of Twinkle that helps me give DS alerts ("Arb"). If this is too much, just tell me. Doug Weller talk 16:59, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Whenever I open an edit window I get a box that says "Javascript error" and under that "script error". Is that perhaps to with the below? (And again, if you're too busy just tell me).

I don't write Lua, but your work at Module:Settlement short description looks like it might be adaptable to other infoboxes. The one I have my eye on is ((Infobox company)), which has 68,000 transclusions. I was thinking that something like "{industry} company based in {hq_location}" would be a reasonable place to start. The template does some intricate processing of the various "hq_location" parameters, so a module would have to do something similar to render the location correctly. Thanks for considering. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:02, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
((short description|(({industry))} company based in (({hq_location))} ))
(replacing the hq_location with the code in the template that does the processing). With BLPs like footballers we need to be more careful and there is a bot I think which is going to add descriptions like "American footballer" which is more useful. I don't want to add descriptions that are lower quality than the Wikidata ones which usually have nationality. I actually did look at ((infobox book)) but creating a automatic short description is a lot harder than it seems with inconsistent filling of parameters.In 2015, in the Kevin Sweeney (American football) article, I wrote the following text: "After the players went on a strike on the third week of the 1987 season, those games were canceled (reducing the 16 game season to 15) and the NFL decided that the games would be played with replacement players. Sweeney was signed to be a part of the Dallas Cowboys replacement team, that was given the mock name "Rhinestone Cowboys" by the media.[6] He became the third ever rookie quarterback to start for the Cowboys, following Don Meredith (1960) and Roger Staubach (1969).[7] He was a popular player with the fans during those games; when Danny White took over the team for the third replacement team against the Washington Redskins, the crowd started chanting "We Want Sweeny, We Want Sweeny" when the team didn't performed well in the eventual 7-13 loss.[8] He was kept on the roster for the rest of the year."
Today I found out that the following book that was published much later (https://books.google.com.mx/books?id=mJuaDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA71&lpg=PA71&dq=%22Dallas+cowboys%22+%22rhinestone+Cowboys%22+1987&source=bl&ots=r4vCxGiJq-&sig=ACfU3U2XozkBiibN8hlQA78D7eGjoFG3jg&hl=es-419&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiR_qL-9sXnAhVLAp0JHZazCI8Q6AEwDnoECAwQAQ#v=onepage&q=sweeney&f=false) , copied the text exactly the same. Should something be done about it ?. And I don't want to even check if the author did the same with some of the other articles where I contributed.Tecmo (talk) 02:56, 10 February 2020 (UTC)Tecmo (talk) 02:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey, Galobtter. I was wondering if it would be possible to change the gadget a bit for other Wikipedias? Since local descriptions are only a thing on this wiki, would it be possible to have the gadget just load the description from Wikidata (not copy it) and let you edit it on-wiki, and then when you're done, it could save it to Wikidata? It'd be helpful for spotting vandalism, and just seeing when a description is missing without having to go to the appropriate page on Wikidata every time. – Srdjan m (talk) 18:30, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Galobtter. When you for example topic ban somebody, it would be helpful if you'd use permanent links for the discussion that led to the ban. Trying to do a little research about Cleisthenes's topic ban, that he recently appealed, I was frustrated at not being able to find the relevant ANI discussion here, where your link has long since rotted, nor here, where there isn't a link at all. (It's common to use such links at the enforcement log.) Also, for the benefit of the user and others, it's helpful to add a diff inside the template on their page to your own actual logging of the sanction, rather than just leave them with the existing link to the log in general. The log isn't very easy to navigate. You're very much a techie compared to me, so I won't insult you by linking to the guide for creating permanent links — but if you'd actually like one, I can!

I was paging through a few hundred darts-related articles yesterday (in Category:Darts by year) looking for Linter errors to fix, and I noticed that at least a dozen of the articles had 20+ missing end tag errors but were not listed at User:Galobot/report/Articles by Lint Errors. Can you think of a reason why 2013 UK Masters, 2014 Austrian Darts Open, 2014 Dutch Darts Masters, and 2014 European Darts Grand Prix, for example, would not be appearing on the report? Each of those articles has 20+ Linter missing end tag errors. I null-edited each of them yesterday to see if they would show up in today's report, but they did not appear. Null-editing is sometimes necessary to force pages to appear in categories, disappear from "What links here" lists, or otherwise register changes in the database.
Pinging WOSlinker to see if they have noticed error-rich articles that should have been on the report but are not. Please leave the errors in the above-listed articles while we are troubleshooting this possible bug. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:04, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

must notundo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than
should not.
I've never coded Lua in my life. I made an attempt here but it didn't work, so I'm notifying you of the effort.
((Infobox UK place)) is the predominant infobox for UK towns, villages and cities. Currently, it uses wikitext to generate the fairly useless short description "Human settlement in United Kingdom". I tried to develop a module like ((Settlement short description)) to replace this, but failed. I was thinking the format could use, for one example, "___ in [county, i.e. (({lieutenancy_england/wales(2/3)))}
], (({country))}
". Since UK place infoboxes don't specify whether something's a city, town or village (examples linked), perhaps this could be searched for in the lead of the article, particularly after "is a" (maybe in the next 10 words), and if it's not found, "Settlement" could be used. Further specifications could be made for the London Boroughs like Havering.
As for ((Infobox airport))s, they currently do not generate any short description but look very primed to do so. I was thinking the format could use "___ in (({location))}
". The underscores could be "Airport" if the (({r1/2/3-surface))}
is asphalt or concrete and "Airfield" if it's grass, otherwise it could default to "Airport". If "military" is mentioned at all in (({type))}
, "Military air base" or "Air base" could be used instead.
I would draft up pseudocode to represent all the eventualities I have in my head, but I wouldn't be able to get it to work (at least not at my current stage of knowledge), and you or someone else could probably come up with something better that actually works as code. · • SUM1 • · (talk) 01:30, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
|type=

The issue is not "identify" as a verb but "identify as", which is a neologism, a fad of the last few years that seems to only be used in connection with census-like categories of race, gender, and sexual orientation. It is not clear at all that there is any use of that term in reference works such as encyclopedias, and if so whether it ever goes beyond those categories. 73.149.246.232 (talk) 02:18, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

mw.user.tokens

are created by JavaScript in the HTML head and so by the time you'd click the join project button it should definitely exist. So not sure why that didn't (presumably) exist for Vanamonde unless there was some weird script blocking going on. I also feel like I've seen people have intermittent issues with formWizard before so I'm not sure any issues necessarily have to do with the recent merge of the modules.

Are you familiar with the LTA 597 is tracking? 597 (hist · log) has had a few hits lately (one got reported to EFFPR, which is why I noticed it), and they look like hits, but I know nothing about this LTA so I have no idea whether this is an accurate hit or not.

Hey, Galobtter! I noticed the other day that the spacing between the short description and the lede of an article seems to have changed. Here's what it looked like before, and here's what it looks like now. That can't be intentional, right? – Srđan (talk) 12:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I am writing to because AFAIK you are the person responsible for maintaining filter 965, it that's not the case please ignore this message. Today I tried to add some images from Commons to the English Wiki, specifically infoboxes of some villages. As the second edit got rejected for the same reason which apparently was containing swear words I went to linked regex checker and figured out that any edit containing word *chodu will get automatically rejected. A lot of conjugated Polish words contain *chodu so that hard rule is clearly not infallible. Both of my false positive reports got ignored so I decided to write specifically to you.

Greetings,
As per Wikipedia's expected due process I have updated Talk:Women related laws in Pakistan/Temp building it from scratch with proper close paraphrasing. I suppose it would be acceptable at least as a stub.
Since updating of Talk:Women related laws in Pakistan/Temp we will not be depending on previous text of the article, I requesting to shift the text from Talk:Women related laws in Pakistan/Temp to Women related laws in Pakistan.
Thanks and warm regards
