Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 23[edit]

New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script[edit]

RefRenamer by Nardog is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, the foundation will only give us better reference names in VisualEditor if we wish for it in the next survey. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than ":0" and ":418".

Updated scripts[edit]

Nardog: MoveHistory can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
Wikipedia:AutoEd/unicodehex.js will no longer replace legacy MediaWiki dot-entities (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.

Improve a script[edit]

Many of our favorite scripts such as User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
User:Elominius/gadget/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
To a lesser extent, the same goes for User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
We want...

...a mark-as-read button for Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to User:TheJJJunk/ARA
...a fix/fork of User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js to make it work

Requested scripts[edit]

A WP:3O requesting and responding tool, similar to Terasil's classic edit request tool
A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
A review tool for WP:proposed deletions
Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in WP:RFP/A
...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

New scripts[edit]

Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
Chlod:
- Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
  - Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor and supports more templates than ((copied)) ones.
  - Infringement Assistant allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate Wikipedia:Copyright problems noticeboard.
User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
Enterprisey
- diff-permalink-2 allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink
- archiver is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
- /parent-cats highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories.
User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet adds an access key shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by Nardog and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh.
User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay loads a bunch of fonts to add correct rendering supports for "esoteric" languages.
User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped will make piped links irresistible (or else).
User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js adds an WP:AutoEd function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! Configure away!
Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
Nardog
- /CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <code>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
- /RCMuter: Hide specific users, perhaps User:MediaWiki message delivery, from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
- /VitalTopicon makes you see the vital article topicon on WP:vital articles.
m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
Novem Linguae
- DraftCleaner fixes formatting of new articles.
- GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
- ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
- SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!

TM in citations[edit]

Greetings! Regarding Special:diff/1195720594: MOS:CONFORMTITLE says that titles of works should be cleaned up to conform to Wikipedia style guidelines; I interpret that to include titles of works in citations conforming to MOS:TMRULES. -- Beland (talk) 00:38, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was writing a long answer, but look, we do not mess with the words of source titles (or quotes from them, etc) for the fact that the source article's original text is considered copyrighted material. Presence on Wikipedia in a limited capacity is fair use, but modification of the words (even if a "TM" symbol) isn't something you can do under fair use. Legally. Unless there's an explanation for why removing it is necessary ("the MOS told me so" isn't). Kingsif (talk) 04:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Martina Fernández (footballer)[edit]

On 4 February 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Martina Fernández (footballer), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Martina Fernández plays football for Barcelona and studies part-time at a biomedical laboratory? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Martina Fernández (footballer). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Martina Fernández (footballer)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

RE: Updating league tables[edit]

Hello, it happens all the time, as soon as games finish the table gets update, you do not need to wait until the end of the match day to be over. I always put DATE (? of ? matches played) to make it clear that not all games have yet finished. Skyblueshaun (talk) 11:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, you should reply in the thread where the conversation began, so that it can be easily followed. Second, maybe you do it all the time, but it is strongly discouraged. The actual league tables are not updated until the end of the matchday, and it is misleading to update after, say, the first game and suggest that a team was in X position on the table at any point when they never were (i.e. team A wins the first game on day 1 and goes top, you update, it looks like team A is topping the table, the rest of the games are played and they're much lower and only then does the actual league in question actually produce the first league table. Team A was never top, but you made Wikipedia say that). Kingsif (talk) 21:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Venezuelan cinema in the 2020s[edit]

Hamraoui case - reference[edit]

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I'm still not sure why you removed the September 16th 2022 arrest of Diallo ("mise en examen" in French). I understand you don't want a chronological order, but the date is "legally" more serious than the first Diallo arrest. Does it have to do with "arrest =/= conviction"? For Molina, the issue is that some sources are from social media or YouTube. How do you reference a social media source? I understand they are not usable as a newspaper source. Jheronimus (talk) 13:53, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NYPOST is not a reliable source, in general, and there are examples of them deliberately misleading with information about crimes to make people seem more or less guilty in a way that is sensationalist and/or fits NY Post's preferred narrative. Those examples relate to New York, but I have no confidence that they would be more diligent in ensuring accuracy when covering a story that isn't about the city their primary readership is actually familiar with. Kingsif (talk) 14:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. It's a tabloid. If you need two solid sources: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/sports/article/2022/09/16/footballer-aminata-diallo-placed-in-custody-once-again-over-teammate-hamraoui-s-assault_5997128_9.html

Question from Patrus Masih (21:34, 12 February 2024)[edit]

Hi Kingsif. I'm a total newbie, writing my first article. Some of the guidance I read when I started out suggested that if an article already exists, I should contribute to that, rather than starting out on a new one. So, with some misgivings, I started adding to the short article on "Bible translations into Hindi and Urdu". Unfortunately I know almost nothing about Bible translations into Hindi - I can't even read the Devanagri script that Hindi is usually written in. I know quite a lot about Urdu translations. Already the article has become top-heavy with my Urdu material - and I'm probably less than one third the way through what needs to be said about Urdu translations. Though there are historical links between Urdu and Hindi, they are totally separate languages. There is minimal overlap of religious vocabulary - which is a major feature of the Bible. So really Hindi and Urdu should have their own articles (with some limited cross-referencing). I realise now that should have got advice before I started. What is now the best way forward? When I was starting I came across some info on dividing a Wikipedia article into two articles, but can now no longer find it. Or is another approach wiser? Thanks in advance for your help. --Patrus Masih (talk) 21:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have worked on the same article and no, the article should not be split. As far as Christianity is concerned, there is much overlap in religious vocabulary and in fact, most early translations were in Hindustani (both in Devanagari and Nastaleeq). Please continue to work on the article with an inclusive approach and remember that additions should be referenced. Thanks, Anupam^Talk 22:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for the question. I am not an expert on either language or their approach to Bible translations. Anupam seems to have relevant knowledge, and if I was you I would look to scholarly articles that are about the topic and see what they have to say on if the two language translations are similar enough to be covered in the same article. If you think there is still scope to split the article into two separate articles, I would seek advice from editors with more subject-based knowledge at perhaps WP:WikiProject Christianity - you can search for WikiProjects to seek advice from like you would other articles, by including the prefix in the search box. And feel free to ask any other questions! Kingsif (talk) 16:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from IcyRazer (22:44, 15 February 2024)[edit]

Hi Kingsif... I'm frankly not that intertested in becoming an "editor" of Wikipedia I saw a less than good illustration for an article and thought to change it. I only re named it. THe article is Parathesia and the illustration is the one labelled "Pins and needles" - just strikes me as a lame illustration of the feeling "pins and needles" --IcyRazer (talk) 22:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you're asking how to change the image, first, nobody is going to do it for you if the reason is only "I thought it was lame", second, please be familiar with copyright law in your own country and the USA before uploading any images. Kingsif (talk) 00:03, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a Wikipedia editor and i have an account for over 6 days and have 92 edits but still I'm unable to move pages. Please help me --From14 (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that scope of what you're trying to do, but you might find something helpful at WP:PAGEMOVER Kingsif (talk) 19:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just asking you that I am unable to move my Drafts articles to the Wikipedia Live Main Space.

How is it possible? From14 (talk) 19:40, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it is an WP:AfC draft, you need to submit it for review. If it isn't, there should be (on desktop) a "More" option near the top right, and in the dropdown there's a "Move" option. Within the form that follows, you shouldn't change the name - in the dropdown before the name, if you scroll to the top there will be "(Article)" as an option, and that's mainspace. Kingsif (talk) 19:44, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All checked by me but there is no button available for Move. From14 (talk) 19:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked and your drafts are AfC, so only my first sentence is relevant. You cannot move them. Kingsif (talk) 19:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When will it be possible? From14 (talk) 05:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your WikiCup submission: 77th British Academy Film Awards[edit]

Hi Kingsif, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted 77th British Academy Film Awards for ITN points in the WikiCup, but you do not seem to have been a major contributor to the article (in fact, you do not seem to have edited the article at all). Per Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, you need to have worked on the article significantly to receive points. Unfortunately, this is not eligible for points as a result. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:52, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks - I trust you to make any necessary edits (and thanks if you already have). Kingsif (talk) 00:16, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was gonna ask to withdraw because I got into doing the WikiCup as personal editing motivation, but thinking about this submission and other things I might edit to submit, it has felt less fun recently. I want to just edit what I edit and if it meets WikiCup, it meets it, if it doesn't it doesn't, rather than worry about what does or doesn't before/during editing. This isn't that I'm unhappy that submission doesn't count, don't worry - more that I would rather not have to be thinking whether something will count or not when I am making ITN noms (etc.), and the reminder that maybe I do have to is a bit... not the spirit of my editing mindset at the moment. Anyway, I notice that today is the cut-off for the first round so I don't think I need to withdraw, but I thought I'd mention this anyway, say that I hope that it's back to being fun next year, but maybe (and I should probably suggest this at WikiCup talk) there could be a non-scoring tier of WikiCup introduced that is more focused on being fun.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter[edit]

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script[edit]

Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

Newly maintained scripts[edit]

After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...

Aaron Liu has created What redirects here from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; his fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.
Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.

Without caching. Each script takes 400–500ms. A particularly large script takes 1.11 s! Internet download speed is 50 Mbps.

With caching enabled. Each script takes just 1-2 ms to load.

Improve a script[edit]

Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!

Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
We want...

...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Requested scripts[edit]

A simple script to second or archive proposed deletions
A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo
A WP:3O response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters
...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

New scripts[edit]

DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filters.
Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use m:Web2Cit (which WP:ProveIt also uses) instead of mw:Citoid to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
Doǵu/Adiutor (pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
- /afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
- /ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
- /redirect-helper (pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
- /rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
Guycn2/UserInfoPopup (pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest (pictured) generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD nominations.
Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

Edit-listings[edit]

Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
- Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine actually works, pending a fix to T292764.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

Appearance-ricing[edit]

Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the [ reply ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?^[Joke]
Jonesey/common (pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
- Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing Tab ↹ toggle the visibility of the tiny [ edit ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

Permissions required![edit]

Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.
Dragoniez
- /AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
- /Selective Rollback (pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

QOL shortcuts[edit]

BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions.
Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another Clear button on top of the Lua module debug console.
Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist next to the normal watchlist.
Nardog
- PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
- Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE and fix them as much as possible.
Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS.
Suntooooth
- /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
- /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline ((fix)) templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

AGF at 3O: comment on content, not on the contributor[edit]

Kingsif, as I've said before, I'm happy to go through the 3O process (or any other dispute resolution process) with you at the Catalan hatnote discussion, but I really must insist that you confine your Talk page comments to discussion about the content dispute itself, and avoid accusations of bad faith or indeed anything at all having to do with me or other editors. We have been through this once before, and I thought that discussion would have been sufficient to stop this personalization of content disputes and insinuations, but apparently not.

Maybe I need to mirror your comments back to you, to indicate specifically where I feel the locus of the problem is. Here is your comment of 17:52, 23 March (diff) at the § Third opinion discussion, augmented by strikeout type indicating wording that I believe is unrelated to the content dispute and which therefore should not be there:

The dispute stems from ~~Mathglot having removed~~ the acknowledgement that Catalan surnames (when written in full) are joined by i in the language-specific surname hatnote – ~~ostensibly because they think it is inaccurate based on an English-language Wikipedia search, and for brevity~~ – and then ~~another user removed the hatnote from an article where both it and the acknowledgement of i were relevant, because of the change.~~
While I have asked for suggestions on improving the hatnote that do not have to say the i is common and which can be shorter, or even optional ~~(addressing the concerns)~~, ~~Mathglot has shunned any attempt at discussion~~ and ~~instead simply tried to defend why they made the original edit and say it should stand.~~ I do not know why ~~they have refused to discuss other options even when I have outlined one and asked them explicitly to respond~~, but ~~at least they have sought 3O~~. Kingsif (talk) 17:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem here, is that most of your paragraph is not actually about the content of the dispute; the majority is about me, my actions, or my motivations, and none of those are relevant. If we are going to have a legitimate third opinion process, which I welcome, then it really has to be solely about the content dispute, and not anything else, least of all about me. If you are unable or unwilling to do this, I don't see how the 3O process can legitimately move forward. Worse, this is a repetition of the lack of good faith and PA issue that we've discussed before, and I really must insist that you cease such accusations and insinuations once, and for all. Please comment on the content, not on the contributor. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:35, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no lack of good faith, just an outlining of user behaviour - and I don't make insinuations, while also thanking you for the 3O, so can you cut out accusing me of stuff. Let us be clear: users cannot hide behind "comment on the content" when half the problem is indeed the behaviour of the user. There are times when it is appropriate to mention this. The discussion asked for the viewpoints of involved users as to the nature of the dispute, and the nature of the dispute is not content, it is you refusing to discuss content. How am I to explain that properly without mentioning you. Kingsif (talk) 21:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding this:

the nature of the dispute is not content, it is you refusing to discuss content.

That tells me concisely everything I need to know. Btw, just noticed that the 3O responder has bowed out, and relisted the discussion at WP:3O. Mathglot (talk) 21:56, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't wish to know what you are insinuating with That tells me concisely everything I need to know, if anything at all. It is genuinely, civilly, how I see this dispute. As noted, I have suggested alternative phrasings for the hatnote, I have explained that nobody wants an explanation of i, and you have not been receptive. We can request another 3O or we can discuss phrasing options; I think perhaps the responder backed out because the dispute is not a simple choice between one phrasing or another. I want to find a resolution and, perhaps this needs to be said outright, that is clearly not just deciding either the original phrasing or your phrasing is better - as it seems clear neither is the best (since you have questioned the former and myself the latter). And we want the best, right? Kingsif (talk) 22:03, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am pinging @El C:, the first admin I could think of who is usually active around this time. El C, you can see my comment describing a dispute above. Mathglot is accusing, as you can also see, that this comment constitutes a personal attack and failure to AGF. I would like an impartial and experienced view on whether 1. my comment is uncivil in any way, and 2. it is fair for Mathglot to make such accusations, bearing in mind that improper accusations are considered uncivil themselves as they can discourage participation. Kingsif (talk) 21:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, but due to time constraints I am unable to assist with whatever this is (sorry, have not read). El_C 16:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks for comment. Kingsif (talk) 20:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving at Talk:Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse[edit]

It looks like you moved a bunch of 1-day-old threads that had few-hours-ago activity and were on-going discussions converging towards improved content. The setting is for 3-day expiry. If the bot isn't working, no objection to doing it manually. But this action seems disruptive to civil consensus-building and article development. Please undo. DMacks (talk) 02:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point me to the threads that were ongoing and had useful discussions? I intended only to archive those which were either clearly FORUM breaches or clearly resolved. Kingsif (talk) 02:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I am about to be busy now, but feel welcome to undo my archiving of any threads you think were useful. Kingsif (talk) 02:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I unarchived the two in which I was interested. DMacks (talk) 15:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was very disruptive editing – one day old is not nearly enough to archive. Please don’t do that again. All good wishes, Springnuts (talk) 13:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, in a current disaster news cycle, one day is more than enough to be "old", and discussions that have been resolved or are off topic should be archived to prevent them attracting irrelevant discussions that makes the talk page difficult to navigate. Kingsif (talk) 22:49, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Keira Walsh[edit]

On 28 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Keira Walsh, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that footballer Keira Walsh first captained England in 2018, when she was the youngest player in the squad? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Keira Walsh. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Keira Walsh), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Request to oversee GA review[edit]

This post was modified at 21:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC). This disclosure is added per WP:TALK#REVISE.

~~Dear Kingsif,~~

~~I hope that this message finds you well. I am writing to request your mentorship for my first GA review.~~

Several days ago, I started an evaluation of Prince George of Wales's article against the GA criteria. Because of my lack of experience and the notability of the article's subject matter, I am admittedly very overwhelmed trying to ensure this review is properly conducted.

Moreover, given that you indicate you would take on pop culture on the GA mentor list, I would especially appreciate your insight. (I understand that calling House of Windsor members "pop culture" may be a stretch, but they are considered as such in my country.) Therefore, would you please be able to provide any pertinent feedback as I complete my GA review on Prince George's article?

~~Thank you very much for your consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions.~~

~~Sincerely,~~

AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 20:49, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can definitely take a look, though I am a bit busy for a few days - is there anything in particular you want attention on? I have to say, probably quite an overwhelming article for a first review, but thank you for reviewing! Kingsif (talk) 21:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I will not need any assistance with this matter. I have been relieved of reviewing Prince George's article against the GA criteria. That being said, I will reach out to you in the future if I have any relevant questions. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 21:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]

Hello Kingsif,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
