“

One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

”

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

It is easiest to use the "Add topic" link at the top of a talk page and "[ reply ]" link following each post but you may edit this page directly if you follow the above-mentioned guidelines.

Regarding replies and notifications:

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or use the "[ subscribe ]" link by each thread heading,or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Political Censorship

So now that I've exposed your bizarre accusations as mere conspiratorial delusions pushed by far right admins, I would like you to either address line by line what was wrong with what I edited. We have passed the name calling phase and now you people need to answer for the censorship of factual information that you are grouping up to enforce. I included fact check links to national recognized news sources, links to press releases by the person themselves, and every quote was linked to and attributed to someone at the link. The things I added were the most important and consequential actions that person took in their career. Just because some far right extremist admin thinks it makes his right wing politician looks bad doesn't mean it needs deleted. That's in the Terms of Use. Just because factual information may be divisive, if it is factual and sourced properly with the appropriate tags, which mine was, then the deletion of it is considered vandalism. You jumping over to my talk page and writing what you did is harassment. After scrolling through drmies history, it is extremely clear that he is a right wing troll that has been shielding extreme right wing figures and politicians from having factual information about them on their wiki's. Thanks for participating in about a half dozen violations of the Terms of Use. FactZheker (talk) 16:38, 15 January 2021 (UTC)FactZheker[reply]

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 19

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (December 2020).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 19th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Scripts Submit your new/improved script here

Enterprisey's script-installer, a gadget that makes it easier to install scripts, is this month's featured script

Enterprisey's copy-section-link adds popups to section headers which has an appropriate wikilink and external link to the section.

DannyS712's FindBlacklistEntry can be used to figure out which line(s) in either the local or global spamblacklist prevent a particular url from being added.

Nardog's CodeEditorAssist allows customizing the code editor, including changing the color theme and enabling live autocompletion.

Cobaltcigs's IllWill allows searches wikidata.org for foreign-language sitelinks, to populate {{ill}} and replace plain red links.

Twinkle has made a number of improvements, most notably full support for expiring watchlist items.

Evad37's Signpost Publishing Script is now at version 2.4.2, with changes including a fix for calculating the size of pages with files.

Evad37's MoveToDraft is now at version 2.5.1, with changes including:

checks for move conflicts and better options if move fails
the addition of {{Drafts moved from mainspace}} after moves
updating the default move log and notification texts to be more in line with WP:DRAFTIFY

Enterprisey's cv-revdel now handles failures more cleanly, including reporting failures caused by the spam blacklist.

Bradv's Notepad.js script has been updated with new styles and a new launch button.

A beta version of XFDcloser is available for testing, and brings a new user interface for dialogs and some preferences for customization.

Open tasks

Voting in the m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021 is ongoing until December 21, 2020. There are 15 proposals in the "bots and gadgets" category that may be of interest.

Pending requests

A script to help list discussions at WP:ANRFC (request)
A script to allow undoing edits despite conflicting intermediary edits (request)
...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

The Watchlist Expiry feature worked on by the Community Tech team has been enabled on Wikipedia. For scripts that include watching or unwatching pages, developers may want to update their code to take advantage of the new functionality. See the documentation on mediawiki.org.
As noted in the prior issue, Enterprisey's links-in-logs script has now been implemented as part of MediaWiki core. By my count, this is his third script that was replaced by implementing the code in MediaWiki core or an extension, along with link-section-edits and abusefilter-hide-search. Additionally, his reply-link script is being converted in part to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools. Are there any other scripts that might be worth integrating directly in MediaWiki? Thoughts would be welcome at Wikipedia talk:Scripts++.

As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy holidays! --DannyS712 (talk) 00:19, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
