Hi, I have a few questions. Firstly where was this rename requested? Secondly are you aware this user is currently under scruitiny for potentially abusing multiple accounts at ANI? Daniel (talk) 22:57, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Link for your reference: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#RedundancyAdvocate/SurferSquall_behavior. Daniel (talk) 22:58, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Confirmed as a sockpuppet, so this is somewhat moot. Thanks anyways, Daniel (talk) 23:14, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Hi @Daniel, thank for the message. The user requested renaming via Special:GlobalRenameQueue (m:Special:GlobalRenameQueue/request/115123); those with access can see it. At the time of renaming, there were no blocks on their account, so my action is valid. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 05:20, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Sorry, I think I made a mistake. So I am going to revert my action. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 05:26, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Reverted. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 05:38, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
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!
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:
- 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
- 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!
- User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically.
- Still hate Vector 2022's floating TOC? User:Phlsph7/UnfoldedNumberedTOC(Vector2022) might make you give it a try.
- Quite a bit of pages at Special:WantedCategories either exist now or got removed. User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/hideUnwantedCategories automatically hides those.
- User:SuperHamster's Wikipedia:Tools/View it! generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing Structured Data on Commons. Images can then be added as needed.
- Terasail
- ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
- /HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons.
- ...and any more, all available at WP:US/L.
Due to budget and procrastination limitations, we've only had time to review the first ~39% of the scripts since last issue. Help us out here! Aaron Liu (talk) 13:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Which welcome template is this? I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- @I dream of horses User:Matthewrbowker/Templates/ACC Welcome. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 04:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Okay, thanks. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 01:19, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, Yahya,
Apparently, you renamed User:Tranhoangnam4320 but didn't move their User pages. I have other nonexistent usernames showing up on my Quarry query so it might not be the only one. When you rename an account, please follow through with all of the other steps that need to be taken. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:08, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- @Liz In the rename request page, there are two checkboxes alongside: 'Move user pages' and 'Suppress creation of redirects'. The first one is selected by default. I handled this request from my smartphone. I probably mistakenly clicked the first while intending to click the second. I apologize for that.
- However, there is almost zero chance of such a mistake in the previous renames. I assume you are referring to this Quarry. I have checked all of these, and there are no such problems. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 05:00, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- I will fix it soon by reverting and renaming again. Note that This one was handled by Cabayi (request). —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 05:17, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Yes, that is the Quarry query I run. Most of the names on that list are WikiEd students who changed their usernames but the editors who work with WikiEd are still posting messages for them on their old, abandoned user pages. I use to handle it myself, but this time there are 6 and I'd like them to start taking care of them themselves but so far, no action has been taken. Thanks for your explanation but I still don't understand...is the editor who used to be User:Tranhoangnam4320 changing their username again? Liz Read! Talk! 06:41, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- @Liz If I solve the problem by manually moving pages, there is a chance that I might miss some. Therefore, I want to first rename User:8pqh8EAAGKk6t6zEFr349 to User:Tranhoangnam4320. In the next step, I will rename User:Tranhoangnam4320 back to User:8pqh8EAAGKk6t6zEFr349 while keeping the 'Move user pages' checkbox selected. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 07:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
