Report of Indefinitely semi-protected articles

Looks like they stop at T - which doesn't seem right ;). -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:50, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Looks fixed now. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:56, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

No idea why it failed last time. Perhaps related to pagination? Glad it's working now, though! --MZMcBride (talk) 21:43, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikistalk

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, but are there any plans to port the Wikistalk tool to other projects (e.g. dewiki, fawikisource, enwikinews)? Regards, — μ 22:15, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

It needs to be rewritten as the current implementation is awful. I'm not sure when I'll get around to a rewrite. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Server Kitties

Hi MZM, for the sake of the server kitties I wonder if we could trim those WP:Edits reports a little? I've been getting server strain when running it with all ten transclusions, and I suspect that could be because the whole thing now runs to over half a mb. would it be possible to write the files with two letter abbreviations for userrights instead of 18 bytes for {{aug|1=reviewer}}? It would also save quite a few kb if we dropped the commas from the edit count and the piping from the usernames and just had user:WereSpielChequers. In the meantime I've trimmed it back to 6,000. ϢereSpielChequers 11:37, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

It's a bit unclear to me whether you're concerned about the wikitext size or the parsed HTML size. I think the sortability is what's slowing down the page load the most (I can kill that, it doesn't really serve any purpose anyway) and the user groups can be shortened by editing Template:Abbreviated user group. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:45, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know whether the slowness is a product of the generated wikitext size that you see when you open it for editing or the size of the file that you see displayed. Abbreviating the output from the template can chip slightly at the latter but without affecting the former. But I'm fairly confident that if you substituted the template when you ran the bot so that only "Review"" was stored instead of "{{aug|1=reviewer}}" would reduce the wikitext by thousands of bytes. Hopefully this would speed up the display. Similarly removing the piping from the username would make a difference.

A couple of other tweaks that you might consider, could you date stamp the top of the 1-1000 file, and could you not display userrights for opted out users, as someone has pointed out that comes close to identifying them. Thanks ϢereSpielChequers 11:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

These are pretty good thoughts.

I was using a template so that end-users could change the format without me needing to intervene, but substituting each week should work well enough (assuming the page save doesn't freak out over having to do so many substitutions; I don't think it will). It maintains the benefits of using a template (end-user changes) with the benefits of substituting (reduced page size, reduced subsequent rendering times).

The user rights for opted-out users shouldn't be happening. I thought I checked the logic on that, but perhaps that was for something else.

I'll try to get to this when I have some free time. We really need to work on more collaborative code editing. ;-) --MZMcBride (talk) 16:04, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, especially the collaborative coding idea. I've almost come round to the idea that these PC things are here to stay and I should learn how to code them rather than wait for the world to see sense and return to mainframes. But I'm beginning to suspect my coding days are over and I'm better qualified for acceptance testing.

Another thing that would reduce the size and possibly increase the usefulness would be to slightly up the criteria for being active enough to be a linked user. I've not been online much the last few days, but I've started flicking through and already used this to give Rollback to one overlooked vandalfighter. However its a bit of a waste checking people out when they turn out to be only editing half a dozen times a month, Something more like 100 edits in the last month perhaps? Also there is no need to display the userights of the ones that aren't clickable - that should save enough space to extend it back to all ten transclusions. ϢereSpielChequers 21:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Right. My main comment about your second paragraph is scope.

The purpose of "List of Wikipedians by number of edits" is to list Wikipedians by edit count. If it has additional info (like user groups), there's no real harm (beside page size, I suppose), but if you want a report for a specific use-case (like finding rollback candidates), it makes much more sense to have a separate report. We already have a few automated lists for autopatrol candidates and reviewer candidates. A similar report for rollback candidates wouldn't be as multi-use, but the signal to noise ratio would be enormously better.

Not listing user groups for people who aren't very active doesn't make much sense to me. I think it'll create confusion for a lot of people, who won't realize that's the pattern (that someone might not have any user groups because they don't or because they haven't made an edit/action lately). People won't get that and it similarly tries to again change the scope of the page. Personally, I try to work under the UNIX philosophy and have each report try to serve one purpose very well.

Absent the few tweaks you've mentioned (template substitution, user rights being removed for placeholder rows, and maybe the comma thing, though I think they make the table vastly more readable so probably not), I think this report is pretty much finished. It serves its purpose well. If you want other reports, WT:DBR is what you want (or here, but here is a mess). :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 21:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, fair enough at some point I will file a request for potential Rollbacker report. I agree that the commas make the report look much better, so its a trade off between aesthetics and the extra length of list we could go for without them. Happy to to see how we get on with template substitution, user rights being removed for placeholder rows and maybe a date stamp on the first tranche? ϢereSpielChequers 05:26, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I just made the change for template substitution and user rights not displaying if the user is an unflagged bot or has opted out. It's updating now. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:10, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

the number of each namespace page on the different language Wikipedias

I saw the data about the number of each namespace on the English Wikipeida at Wikipedia:Database_reports/Page_count_by_namespace. I would like to know whether you can retrieve the data on namespace from other language Wikipedia database. cooldenny (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Sure, it's just a simple query (you can view the query at Wikipedia:Database reports/Page count by namespace/Configuration). It can be run on any public Wikimedia wiki database. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:46, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Just another database report request

Greetings MZM and happy E-Stir. I was wondering if I could ask for the broken WikiProject listing to be modified slightly or possibly as another query that shows the projects that have been deleted like this one. There also other examples on the WikiProject Council talk page. Thanks. --Kumioko (talk) 12:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

So you just want a list of every WikiProject that's ever been deleted? --MZMcBride (talk) 18:13, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry no not exactly. I only want it if its showing as a red link on an article talk page. I keep bumping into them and I would like to just do bot run and be done with it. If its easier for you though to do a listing of all of them that have been deleted though that's fine and I can work with that. If you could add a count of the total pages it links too that would be useful. Thanks for the help. --Kumioko (talk) 18:30, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm not really sure how that's different from Broken WikiProject templates (configuration), except that you're asking me to create an association between the template and the project that probably can't be easily made.

Looking at your example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Stephen King has been deleted, but {{WikiProject Stephen King}} continues to be linked from the top of talk pages. If you deleted {{WikiProject Stephen King}}, it would show up at Broken WikiProject templates (configuration).

I guess we could look for exact matches between the template title and WikiProject title to build a relationship between the two. Are these fairly standardized? --MZMcBride (talk) 19:04, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, Happy Easter to you too! --MZMcBride (talk) 19:05, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I see your point about the template. We are in the midst of standardizing the templates but not all are...I would say about 99% of the existing ones are though. That may not be true for the historical ones. There are only 3 that I know of that don't currently use the WikiProject X format. They are WPMILHIST, US Roads and Math. --Kumioko (talk) 19:09, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=425706004> is pretty much what you want. Not very exciting and probably doesn't need a database report. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:23, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Thatll work great thanks. I just needed to identify them so I could write the code to remove the left over banner. --Kumioko (talk) 21:39, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Kumioko: Please update your mental count of exceptions to four, because I'm telling you—for about the fourth time—that WPMED prefers {{WPMED}} to {{WikiProject Medicine}}. The fact that (many) alternate names exist does not make your preferred name be the members' preferred name. Something like 90% of the articles within its scope use the short name.

Time of calc run

Would it be possible for BernsteinBot to also update a page with the time and date it ran its last user count calculations? Sandbox 3 used to have onlyincludes around the time, but it ended when the list was extended to 5,000. Could you replace the time on Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits#List when you have it up and running? Thanks for all your (and your bot's) hard work, 117Avenue (talk) 21:36, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. I actually got complaints about the <onlyinclude>s, so I removed them at some point. I killed the replag code in this report because it didn't have any neat place to go, but since you asked for it, I set the script to update Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits/Age with the timestamp of the replag. You can transclude that wherever. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:22, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

PRO-TIP

If you're using multiple functions with recursive substitution magic, you need to specify <includeonly>[safe]subst:</includeonly> with each function! This includes functions like {{lc:}}. I finally figured this out in this edit. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:29, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

DYK for The Motherfucker With the Hat

Orlady (talk) 12:03, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

OMG, you created content? Impressive. Was it a good play? Risker (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

"Content". --Closedmouth (talk) 15:50, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Oi! I'm trying to give positive reinforcement here!  :-D Risker (talk) 16:09, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

I did create content! I was reading about this in the New York Times and I couldn't figure out what the actual title of the play was. I went to find the corresponding wiki article and I was shocked that nobody had created a page already. Chzz and Bialytock&Bloom deserve the credit for doing all of the heavy lifting; I just created a stub (as mouthy so kindly pointed out). The DYK hook has apparently caused a bit of drama, though if you ask me, that's the reason Chzz got involved in the first place. ;-)

I haven't had a chance to see the play unfortunately. I'm hoping I can get back up to New York before it's off Broadway/Rock leaves for another project. It shouldn't be too bad to get tickets—apparently the show has been having issues advertising itself due to its title. :D --MZMcBride (talk) 19:27, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

I was reading a semi-interesting article about the name, earlier. Related is [1] [2].  Chzz  ►  19:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

lol. I removed it though, because I'm a sourpuss. Also, does anyone still use the phrase "sourpuss" anymore? I think not, but it kind of just came out as I was typing.

Also, that play cost $3mil to produce? Who bankrolls these things? NW (Talk) 20:27, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

You're the sourpussiest!

I imagine venue, actors, and advertising costs make up the bulk of the production cost, though really I'm just talking out of my ass. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:07, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

MZ, "drama, though if you ask me, that's the reason Chzz got involved" - honestly honestly, it isn't. I hit it on NPP, and treated it the same way I do every other article I stumble across - which meant adding some refs, tidying up, and - because it was new, and big enough - submitting it to DYK. That's exactly the type of thing I do, pretty much every day. The fact it had a 'naughty word' made absolutely no difference to me whatsoever - as it shouldn't to any editors, of course (in theory) - but, because I treat naughty words with equanimity, there appears to be a perception that I go out of my way to encourage such things - which is unfortunate. "If people would stop getting offended by words that are just words, all this retarded shit wouldn't be so gay."^{[stolen from here]}  Chzz  ►  10:57, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't kidding about appreciating your help. If it were only me editing this project, we'd have a lot of shitty stubs. You took the time to improve the article into an acceptable state, for which I'm very grateful.

My comment about you and drama came from someone reminding me of this previous DYK hook. (And incidentally, that article has now been deleted.) And, of course, we can't forget about the drama surrounding this gem. :D

I was lightly poking fun at your, heh, equanimity, which amuses, bemuses, and impresses me at times. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:18, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

DC Meetup: May 7 @ Tenleytown Library

The next DC Wikimedia meetup is scheduled for Saturday, May 7, 3:30-5:30 pm at the Tenleytown Library (adjacent to the Tenleytown Metro Station, Red Line), followed by dinner & socializing at some nearby place.

This is the first official meeting of our proposed Wikimedia DC chapter, with discussion of bylaws and next steps. Other agenda items include, update everyone on our successful Wikimania bid and next steps in the planning process, discuss upcoming activities that we want to do over the summer and fall, and more.

Please RSVP here and see a list of additional tentatively planned meetups & activities for late May & June on the Wikipedia:Meetup/DC page.

Question about a special page

I have a couple of suggestions that might make the Unused Templates report a little more useful. I'm not sure if your the right person to ask but I'm betting you know who that person is.

1. Can we modify this report to not show all the doc files and subpages?
2. Create a report (if you could do this I will start the process of cleaning them up rather than a special page) to show subpages like sandboxes and doc files that don't have a parent (such as the parent was deleted but the subpages were left behind). Some might be valid I grant you but I have found a lot of orphans lately.
3. Can we break this report into groups so we can see the whole list. Currently it stops at 1000 so we never see anything past that (like US, U.S. or United States and I would love to start culling these or using them if there useful).

Thanks again for the help. --Kumioko (talk) 02:39, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

I'd suggest looking at the current database reports first:

• Orphaned talk subpages (configuration)
• Talk subpages with redirect parent (configuration)
• Unused templates (configuration)

These seem to cover much of what you're after, with the exception of the "U" section of unused templates. If you clear out the entries for A–T, you'll be able to see the Us. ;-) --MZMcBride (talk) 02:46, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks I'll give these reports a shot. The problem is I keep running into folks (darn hoarders..lol) who want to keep every stinkin' template no matter how long its been unused and regardless of its usefullness. --Kumioko (talk) 02:53, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

I think there might be a bug in the logic but some of the templates on that Unused templates report are being used. One example is Template:American Open Wheel driver results legend but I have seen several others. --Kumioko (talk) 03:09, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

No. {{American Open Wheel driver results legend}} bizarrely has a lot of incoming links, but has no transclusions. You can see this more easily in with this view.

I have a user script that turns the page background orange when viewing a template description page of an unused template. If you importScript('User:MZMcBride/morebits.js'); and importScript('User:MZMcBride/embeddedin.js'); you should be able to use it. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:23, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Ahh thanks, Much appreciated once again. --Kumioko (talk) 03:38, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Tool Questions

So the CSD meta template uses your redirect tool to find news archives, but I think a problem is that since it uses the {{PAGENAME}} magicword, it will include '_' rather than a space in the search query. Would it be possible for your tool to replace these underscores with a space to get better search results? Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 08:30, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. I've been crazy busy lately.

I think this is fixed now. I was hoping it would be possible to resolve this without needing my intervention using some sort of urlencode/PAGENAMEE magic or something, but apparently interwiki link syntax takes precedence. Probably a very high-level replace for " " to "_". Oh well. I put the updated rewrite rules below.

Please let me know if I've broken anything or if you come across any other issues. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:24, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Separate issue, but you seem to own every useful tool there is; How can pages listed on Wikipedia:Database reports/Ownerless pages in the user space be manually removed? The two listed there now are valid. MrKIA11 (talk) 18:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for taking so long to get back to you about this. I've actually had a response written in my head for a few weeks, but hadn't gotten around to putting it down in ... visible form.  ;-)

On a technical level, the report is accurate for both entries. There is no "Rlevse" account and there is no "COFS" account on the English Wikipedia. The catch is that "Rlevse" does exist as a global account, so users cannot register it here, and "COFS" account is close enough to other local usernames ("Cof5" or whatever) that it also cannot be registered here.

My thoughts on this are that it might make sense to add a check for a global account and not list accounts that match in the database report. That would fix the "Rlevse" entry. For the "COFS" entry, any admin can override the spoofing restrictions and register that account as a placeholder/throwaway locally, which will then remove the entry from the report.

Thoughts? --MZMcBride (talk) 22:50, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Your database reports repository on github

Hi, you gave me access to your github repo for database reports. But whenever you push your changes, you overwrite my commits. I guess this means you are using git push -f when pushing your changes. Could you please use git pull the next time that happens? This way, my changes get merged into yours and you should be able to do plain git push. Thanks. User<Svick>.Talk(); 12:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Eep! Sorry about that. Yeah, I'd been using "git push --foce origin master" to get it to work after any time you committed. I didn't realize it was overwriting your changes. I tried making a test commit just now to the TODO file. I had to run "git pull https://github.com/mzmcbride/database-reports.git" in order to get the updates (simple "git pull" didn't work), but then I was able to commit without using the force option. Thanks for pointing this out to me. Version control systems still confuse me when it's anything more complicated than simple pulls or pushes. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 20:36, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems it's correct now. If simple git pull or git push without any other arguments don't work, it probably means you don't have the branch set up properly. Try running git branch --set-upstream master origin. User<Svick>.Talk(); 21:53, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Amina Shah

Hi - My parents became friends with Amina Shah in Oxford in the 1940s when my father was a Rhodes Scholar. My parents have recently died. I wrote to Amina - twice, once after the death of each parent -- and have gotten no reply. My brother and I would like to know: Is Amina still living? Is she well?

I think there's some theoretical support for other wikis there, but it doesn't actually work at the moment. Does the Swedish Wikisource want to use the tool? I really just wrote it for sDrewth, but I could probably adapt it fairly easily. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:09, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned talk page query

I've just done a bulk {{db-author}} of a large category of 1400+ articles on villages in Afghanistan and Kazakhstan, at the request of Blofeld (they were bot-created from a source which is now being questioned, so they're being wiped in preparation for recreation from a more reliable source). I don't want to delete talkpages with significant discussions on them, but have no wild desire to manually check 1400 talkpages; is there any way of running your orphaned-talk-page script on my deletion log for today, and separating those whose talkpages consist solely of the {{WP Afghanistan}} or {{WikiProject Central Asia}} templates (which can be speedied) from those containing something else (which I'll manually check to see if there are any discussions worth saving)? – iridescent 13:44, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=429099107

Separating page content between templates and discussion (non-templates, I guess) is a nasty business. The database stores just a simple page_len column, which stores the length of the page in bytes. However, it's fairly easy to make assumptions about the content based on this number ("{{foo}}" is seven bytes long, so any page_len = 7 is probably just this template, in a selected sample).

There are 859 talk pages from your recent batch of deletions. Most of them seem small enough to be completely insignificant. There's still the possibility that someone had a protracted discussion that was then replaced by a template, so you can look at the number of revisions per page, but most of those seem like 1 as well. It looks fairly safe to simply batch-delete the whole set, but then again... I'm rather deletionist. ;-) --MZMcBride (talk) 16:16, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Batch-deleted them; life's too short for thinking. If there was anything worth saving, I'm sure people won't be shy in complaining. – iridescent 16:20, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Question about a report

I don't know if this is possible or if you are the right person to ask this but would it be possible to create a report, similar to the Articles containing prefix report, that will provide a list of articles that ends with something or contains something. In this case I would like to determine what articles end with things like: in the United States, about the United States, ofr the United States, etc. It seems like it should be possible but I'm not sure.

The second would be to find things that contains. Such as: contains (United States). I know that there are going to be quite a lot of articles in both lists.

Thank you in advance. --Kumioko (talk) 17:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Just to make you aware, I've proposed renaming Wikipedia:Database reports/Articles containing bullshit template parameters, created by BernsteinBot, to Wikipedia:Database reports/Articles containing invalid template parameters - I'd have been bold and moved it myself but don't want to disrupt the bot's operation. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 17:06, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I honestly don't know whether the bot will follow redirects or not. If the report is to be renamed, it's probably best that I move it and then update the script accordingly. I'll reply further at Wikipedia talk:Database reports/Articles containing bullshit template parameters. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:31, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
