The latest version of MediaWiki will have the fix for the api, so I'll implement that some time this week. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:16, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Super! Primefac (talk) 18:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has rolled out now. I've added the filters (only show edits by bots) and removed the previous bot filtering code. Let me know if there are any bugs. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm, BN still seems to not be getting flagged, but otherwise... I guess things are working? I've cleared out my watchlist and I'll let you know in a few days if anything doesn't get caught that should have. Primefac (talk) 21:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Things seem to be working as intended. Primefac (talk) 16:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Qwerfjkl, just a quick question - is this triggering for all bot edits, or just bot edits where the bot edit is the "newest" edit to the page? I ask mainly because I got a regular watchlist notification and then a few hours later a bot edit notification (and I hadn't been to the page to clear the "views" yet. Primefac (talk) 15:02, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it should trigger for all edits. The code checks the feed every minute, and sends an email for each entry. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, good to know. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 15:30, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Several days after becoming an AfC reviewer, User:MKsLifeInANutshell approved the page Undisputed (video game). To put it simply the sources for this article are a mess, with almost all of them being either unreliable or dubious, which should have raised alarm bells or at least caused them to seek a second opinion. The game does have a source in a more reliable place, PC Gamer, but it wasn't even mentioned during the review or added to the article, which was approved as-is. I think this is indicative of a lack of knowledge of the notability criteria and the user may be jumping the gun in asking to approve articles. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look this weekend. Primefac (talk) 13:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eh... it's not the best article in the world, and even including the PC Gamer review looks to only barely pass GNG (if at all). For something that isn't even going to be released until October it probably should have been declined under "too soon" or similar, but for a new reviewer one or two bad reviews isn't necessarily something I would pull perms for. I suggest a note on their talk page expressing your concerns; they might be reasonably receptive to feedback. In other words, I do agree they're probably just looking at the number of references or not really jiving with what "significant coverage" actually entails.

I MADE 200,000 EDITS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT

Huh, cool. Thanks for the shirt! (Still waiting on my functionary cardigan...) Primefac (talk) 11:47, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Primefac. What's your take on Template:Piccadilly? It seems the sole reason it was created has to do with Wikipedia:Piccadilly and was intended to function as sort of WikiProject banner; however, the MfD for the Piccadilly page looks like it's leaning towards a "snow delete". Would the template be eligible for speedy deletion or would it need to go to TfD if the MfD is closed as "delete"? -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:11, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's a simplified WikiProject banner. I would say that if the "Project" gets deleted, the template can reasonably by deleted under G8 (since there will be no project for it to notify people of). Primefac (talk) 11:49, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:00, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else nominated it for deletion at TfD; so, it will be resolved one way or another. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:49, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have another request for switch of Nationalities. This time it is tennis player Benjamin Hassan switching officially from Germany to Lebanon as of 24 June 2024 according to the ATP website: https://www.atptour.com/en/players/benjamin-hassan/hg94/overview. Can you please remove him from the Germany list and add to Lebanon. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sashona (talk • contribs) 22:21, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to have happened shortly before you posted here, see Special:Diff/1230801662. Primefac (talk) 22:53, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I recently posted a new bot function request here. All it does is add constituency numbers for Indian state assembly constituencies. I was wondering whether you, as a BAG editor, could provide your feedback. Thanks. C1MM (talk) 16:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If someone doesn't get to it before me, I will likely do so. Primefac (talk) 16:09, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! C1MM (talk) 16:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I know you recently commented on multiple bot approval requests. Would you also be willing to comment on mine? C1MM (talk) 16:45, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At some point, yes. Primefac (talk) 20:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Primefac:, Hope you're doing well. From last couple of days, I am not able to edit Wikipedia through my mobile data (Ncell) but edit works properly through wifi and VPN at safe DNS mode. I request you to address my issue, If you can. Please don't block me for the use of VPN. Best regards ! Fade258 (talk) 07:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you are logged in you should not be affected by an IP block. What sort of block notice are you getting? Primefac (talk) 13:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac, Thank you for reaching it out. While using VPN, I face an IP block for edit for the period of 3 years. Fade258 (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my question is, why do you need to use a VPN? Primefac (talk) 16:23, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, Without using VPN I am not able to open any Wikipedia page. So, I used VPN service. Fade258 (talk) 12:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page ((AfC submission/draftsubmit)) seems to me to have a broken transclusion, and the text contains your name. That said, the doc page itself is essentially empty. The code is too dense for me to reliably figure out the problem.

I'm a fairly experienced editor, and I'm happy with the completeness of the draft, so I think I'll (try to) move it now anyway. David Brooks (talk) 18:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not broken, though it is a subst-only template; I'll update the documentation to make that more obvious. Primefac (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You seem to be around. Mind having an eye on this given the Moore account's open unblock request? I blocked that account so don't necessarily want to duck block, although UPE is obvious. NO worries if you're not available and thanks either way Star Mississippi 23:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh goody... one of my least favourite locations to try to find socks in. Same general area, no direct match but I'll probably need a 2O. Primefac (talk) 23:38, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

if you don't have the time/bandwidth, truly no worries. I can see if someone else is around later. Thanks for the eyeballs and apologies for the headache. Star Mississippi 23:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
