reply-link

I'm looking through the submissions for the Columbus meeting. I'm working on a boring task and I get the impression your script might be relevant to my task. However, when I look at User:Enterprisey/reply-link, I see how to install it and I see how to use it but I don't quite get what it does. Could you include, or point to an example of its use?--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:18, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Sphilbrick, sure - once you install the script, navigate to any talk page or Wikipedia-space page with discussions, and after each signature you should see a new (reply) link. Clicking a link will open a form allowing you to reply to that comment, and once you click "Reply" your reply will be saved. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:25, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. While it doesn't help me with the task that I'm working on, I wonder if it has the potential of addressing a feature I think is missing and have asked for but haven't seen it built yet.

When I respond to someone, I'd like to include a ping if I'm not on that person's talk page as you just did. The problem is, I have to manually add a template, then go up to the previous reply and look carefully to make sure I get the username. In some cases this is straightforward but some people's username is not exactly the same as the text and the signature. I copy and paste that into the template and sometimes mess up. Once I hit publish I may realize I messed up because it's red but then it's too late. Even if I fix it, the ping feature doesn't work unless I add the template and sign in the same step.

My assumption is that your script must be able to detect that there is a signature and presumably could access the username. From that, it ought to be straightforward to have an option in the reply form to start the reply with username. I wouldn't have to search to make sure I get the username exactly correct, it would pick up the username of the message I'm replying to. Is my assumption correct?--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:47, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

You can now ping people from edit summary too; the name of the user is already inserted there, so it might be interesting to add a link. --Izno (talk) 21:54, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Sphilbrick, yeah, I was actually thinking about adding this feature or a variant of it. Either we could have a ping template already in the text field, or we could ping the user in the edit summary. I was going to add an option, but wasn't sure if people would find it useful. It would be pretty easy to do it, though. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:56, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

I would find it very useful.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:35, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Sphilbrick, I've added that feature. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, despite replying to you on your talk page, and having window.replyLinkPreloadPing = false; in my common.js, it is still auto-inserting that ping.. Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:27, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Fixed. Enterprisey (talk!) 18:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Enterprisey, testS Philbrick(Talk) 18:55, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I thought sure I checked it a few days ago, but maybe not. Very helpful.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:56, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Lantern Entertainment is different from The Weinstein Company

Hi - I posted this on the Lantern Entertainment Talk page and saw you had undid some of the corrections, based on the below conversation was hoping you could assist in making the necessary corrections to the page/create a new Lantern Entertainment page. I haven't heard from user DGG since he agreed to make the split and as you are able to make edits and are a neutral party was hoping you could help.

Disclosing that I am an employee of the company Lantern Entertainment, I am noting that this article is incorrect in saying Lantern Entertainment is the new name for The Weinstein Company. The correct information is that The Weinstein Company has effectively dissolved and sold its assets in a bankruptcy court to Lantern Capital for $289 million. Lantern Entertainment owns those assets, but is an entirely separate company. How can this page be edited to reflect the accurate information?

references: https://deadline.com/2018/07/weinstein-company-sale-approved-judge-lantern-capital-1202424618/

https://www.thewrap.com/weinstein-co-lantern-entertainment/

• I think we do need two articles. The Weinstein Company is by far the better known at present, and the principal article should be at that name, and will give the information about the sale of the assets. Latern is notable enough by itself for a separate page, where the link can be briefly stated. I'm prepared to do the split.

Request regeneration of results

Could the list of Infobox fraternity types page be regenerated? See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&oldid=734260830#Request_regeneration_of_list? for last request.Naraht (talk) 20:19, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

raw wgPageNames on AFCRHS

Just FYI there are two raw wgPageName's in User:EnterpriseyBot/AFCRHS.js. I didn't find the source for it on your github, so I didn't fix 'em since I figured they'd get overwritten on the next bot update, but wanted to let you know! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:43, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Amorymeltzer, yeah, for my scripts in the bot's userspace, edits are just me at my computer triggering updates, so feel free to edit them and they won't be overwritten. If I don't get to it soonish (reasonably ahead of the upcoming update), feel free to do any fixes you like. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:38, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

AFD Stats not counting votes

I had voted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of men killed by women but AFD stats doesn't seem to include that. cc Σ since he's involved in the maintaince of the tool. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 14:26, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

@Tyw7: It is because your talk page link in your sig is a link to User:Tyw7/t (a redirect to your talk page), rather than a link to User talk:Tyw7. The AfD stat tool looks for the talk page link for !votes (presumably because a lot of people have no user page link in their sig); because of this odd linking, it only seems to count your AfD !votes if you are the nominator. I changed the link in your sig at that AfD and now it shows up in the stat tool. I'd suggest fixing your sig? — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 02:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Insertcleverphrasehere, done. Is there a way to mass change my signature to link to User talk:Tyw7 on AFDs? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:17, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Insertcleverphrasehere, it doesn't seem to want to count the vote for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Araya point battle and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frat shag. Also maybe Enterprisey or Sigma could tweak the tool to count users linking to redirects for their talk page? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:39, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

@Tyw7: Someone with Autowikibrowser could probably do it easily, but I'm not certain why it won't work on those particular AfDs. I tried a number of things but nothing worked. It seems that the tool is confused by something about the page. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 05:01, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Insertcleverphrasehere, how can I know who has AutoWikiBrowser? Edit: I posted at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks#Change_signature_on_AFD_templates --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 16:06, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Really what should happen is that the tool works even if you have a subpage of your user page in wikitext. I'll get on that, but what I suspect happens is that the tool requires a user talk page to be linked, not just a user page. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Enterprisey, so I guess the tool is broken if the user does not link to the talk page or use some sub page to redirect users like I have done.

Do you think if I do User talk:Tyw7/t to skip the headers, will it work? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Try it? It should, although I don't know if we detect subpages in the regular expression. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:55, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Enterprisey, nope it didn't. I tried it with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IKASI and if I add the "t" the page disappears from the stat. Removing the t makes stats count that page again. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:56, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

Thank you! Enterprisey (talk!) 05:14, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk page messages

Hi, I noticed you left messages on a few users' talk pages regarding the INTADMIN debate. I'm sure this was in good faith, but if you're going to notify some users then you need to notify everyone who was involved with the discussion, otherwise if could be seen as WP:CANVASsing. Please could you go back and notify all participants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amakuru (talk • contribs) 09:37, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

I was trying not to indiscriminately spam all participants, and I'm only picking users who've made proposals on that page so far (to get constructive feedback on the proposal). I'll add a note to the discussion, though, as I forgot to do that. Enterprisey (talk!) 17:12, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Justlettersandnumbers RFA

The reason I undid your edit was because I saw that Cyberbot had counted a neutral !vote even though there was none, and I thought your edit screwed it up. Thanks for fixing it. Looks like everything is okay now. — MRD2014 ^Talk 23:12, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

reply-link

I've only had a quick tinker with this script this morning, but it seems to solve a really obvious requirement. I don't know if you remember the debacle with Liquid Threads and Flow, but I remember reading that and thinking "what we need is to keep it simple, have a nicer user interface but keep the back end exactly the same so there's a backwards compatibility route". I've been around the block with software development enough now to know that if you try to solve a problem by throwing out the old system and replacing it with a new one, you are screwed. If the WMF had developed this instead, they would have got the problem solved without all that excessive faffing about. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:07, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, I definitely remember the LiquidThreads stuff - total lack of compatibility with existing processes. I tried taking design cues from Flow for this, especially the "waiting" animation and the overall shape of the design, so that turned out pretty well. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:20, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Toolbar

For some reason, debug mode says something about "index.php?title=User:Apoc2400/refToolbarPlus.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:1 You installed the userscript User:Apoc2400/refToolbarPlus.js It is no longer working and you should uninstall it." Any idea why it's not working? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:45, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Not sure looking at the code, TenPoundHammer. Is this still happening? Enterprisey (talk!) 23:13, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

TenPoundHammer, that was because of this. reftoolbar is a default enabled gadget, you don't need to manually load it, and the version you loaded was also no longer working. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 10:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Bug in afch-dev.js: Decline reason is posted when rejecting draft

Hi Enterprisey, thanks for maintaining the AFCH script. Currently, there is a minor bug in User:Enterprisey/afch-dev.js that causes the decline reason to be posted when I'm rejecting a draft. Here is a summary of what happens:

1. The user clicks the "Decline/Reject" button.
2. The user types in a decline reason.
3. The user decides to reject the draft, and chooses the "Reject" radio button.
4. Since the reject reason field is empty, the user types in a reject reason.
5. The user clicks on the "Decline submission" button.
6. Both the decline and reject reasons are posted on the draft page.

A couple of changes would improve the user experience:

1. The decline and reject reason fields should be in sync when the user switches between the "Decline" and "Reject" radio buttons.
2. When rejecting or declining, only one comment should be posted on the draft page.
3. The "Decline submission" button should be renamed to "Reject submission" when the "Reject" radio button is selected.

Thanks for all of your work on this script. I really appreciate it! — Newslinger talk 02:41, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Definitely good ideas! Will get around to them when I have time. For now, tracked on GitHub. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:12, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Question

Hello! I was wondering if you had any advice for someone looking to get into user scripting. I have a handful of ideas I want to build + some older unmaintained scripts I would like to try keeping up to date. I have experience in JavaScript and a few other languages. Mostly wondering if you had any tips or good resources to look at. Thanks! {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 21:43, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Using Navpops to fix linked misspellings

Hi, nice meeting you. Here's the link to the archive where I made my request online. I'd really appreciate it if you could add the option to pipe or not pipe... oh, I see, you responded to me back then! Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 02:06, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Text to image

Hello, Ent. I made a toolbar script yesterday that links to Special:RandomInCategory/Category:Pending AfC submissions but I can't seem to change the displayed text. Is there a way to change the text "RSu" to an image, for example - File:Book with Lens Flat Icon Vector.svg? This is the code:

$.when( mw.loader.using('mediawiki.util'), $.ready ).then( function() {mw.util.addPortletLink( 'p-views', '/wiki/Special:RandomInCategory/Pending_AfC_submissions', 'RSu', , 'Go to random draft submission', 'l');})

Your help is appreciated. Flooded with them hundreds 10:04, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

You could probably write a CSS rule to set the background-image to that image, and then set the font-size of the link to zero to hide it. Something like mw.util.addCSS( "#p-views { font-size: 0; background-image: url(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Book_with_Lens_Flat_Icon_Vector.svg); }" ); (warning: not tested at all)?

Wishlist item to globally implement something similar to your 'reply link' script

User:Enterprisey/reply-link is SUCH a good idea, the only problem is that the people most in need of it won't have it and will have to learn to reply the hard way (new users and logged out users). I logged a wishlist item at meta:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Editing/Reply link for talk pages to make something similar as a default-on gadget. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 08:58, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks! Enterprisey (talk!) 05:04, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

reply-link has a Russian twin!

Not sure where to put this, so I might as well mention it here: the same idea behind reply-link was apparently implemented on ru.wp back in February of this year: ru:Участник:Jack_who_built_the_house/convenientDiscussions.js. Maybe we should merge the two? I don't speak Russian and thus don't understand the interface, but it looks pretty cool. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:06, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

That script seems uncannily similar. Has a nice drop down with more options and change to edit summary. Mhakes things look a bit like flow which is ehhh. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:03, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Galobtter, regarding the comment you deleted about my sleep schedule... I was waiting for someone to comment on that, lol. I would put my average bedtime anywhere from 2 to 4 AM, so I'm a bit of a night owl - made WikiConference quite a shock! I have an ongoing project of making my bedtime earlier, but it may take a while. Thanks for the advice, though!

Also, yeah, if the options available there look interesting (after I get them translated), I'll totally add them. There already seems to be some sort of button that lets you reply at the end of a section, without having to hunt for the final signature, which I'll add. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:37, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Few comments. 1) having a button to comment at the bottom of a section would be great for RfD, RfA, etc for adding a !vote at the bottom. 2) having a button to wrap a section in atop/abot, or hat/bat, would be handy in a lot of the same places as reply-link is, though I understand if it is out of scope for this. 3) reply-to is apparently broken on this page at the moment. ;P zchrykng (talk) 06:46, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Great suggestions! Regarding your third point, it seems fine on my end. What browser, and if you're getting errors in the browser console, can you paste them here? Enterprisey (talk!) 07:35, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Don't think it applies, but this is the only error I was getting.
