When reporting bugs for this script, please include all of the following:

• Your browser, including version number.
• Whether you were using the gadget or the userspace version of the script.
• What page or pages the bug occurs on.
• What sort of bug occurs. For example, does it give the wrong assessment, no assessment, displays in the wrong place, has the wrong text or color, or something else?

Overlays with multiple assessments

The script chokes when multiple assessments are attached to an article. (Platform: Firefox 3.0.13, Gadget version.) It seems to be affected by the co-ords tag. "Glengoyne Distillery‎" example: "B-class article; undergoing a good article reassessment; former good article nominee; geocord". Maybe longer strings could reflow onto subsequent lines. –Whitehorse1 19:39, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

It looks fine to me. What's the problem? Are you saying that the coordinates are overlapping with the assessment? You must be on a pretty small resolution then. Gary King (talk) 19:50, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. It corrupts by overlaying at my regular screen res (1024x768). I tried it at 1152x864 (same problem), but it displays correctly at 1280x960. Heh, you edited to add the cause just after my testing. Good to have it pinned down. –Whitehorse1 19:57, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Most likely #coordinates would have to be modified. You can do it for yourself by going to Special:MyPage/monobook.css and adding #coordinates { top: 0; } Gary King (talk) 20:05, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Disambig pages STILL not recognized

When you fixed this before, I think it made every disambig page not be recognized unless they were marked as such by a WikiProject. They seem to mostly show up as "Unassessed". That's not SO bad, I guess....

I've found a different bug though, at Listing. Once upon a time, this page was an article, and had been listed under "WikiProject Business & Economics" (now non-existent) as a stub. On September 17, 2007, that article was moved to Listing (computer) and the page was converted to a disambig page. Some time later, someone removed the WikiProject code from the talk page. However, your script is still identifying it as a stub! — Skittleys (talk) 04:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Um, I can't reproduce the problem... try a WP:PURGE / WP:CACHE cycle and see if that fixes it? Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 06:46, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I also cannot reproduce the problem. The script works correctly for me with the pages that you have mentioned. Gary King (talk) 16:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Sounds like a caching issue; Listing is marked as a disambiguation page and Listing (computer) is marked as unassessed. Try bypassing your cache and see if that fixes it. Disambiguation pages are recognized based on the presence of the disambigbox element on the page, so the script won't even request the talk page for properly marked disambig pages.

How about recognizing articles that are part of featured/good topics?

How about making the script recognize articles that are part of featured/good topics (as well as those that were nominated but failed)? Wikipedia:Featured topics/Half-Life 2 titles is an example of a featured topic. Every topic has one main article and several subarticles. On the talk page of topic articles, the most crucial code is ftname=, which indicates the name of the topic. Some articles are part of more than one topic, but that is only about five articles or so, so it is not necessary to include code that recognizes more than one topic if it's too much work. Failed FTCs are recognized in the ArticleHistory as action=FTC and actionresult=failed. Gary King (talk) 16:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure, that probably shouldn't be too difficult. I'll see if there's a way to add it in without cluttering things up too much. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 18:02, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Maybe you would like to join this discussion. GeometryGirl (talk) 20:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages (again)

Hello,

You may wish to comment at Template_talk:DisambigProject#Class.3D_.28again.29 where there is a discussion about setting "|class=Dab" for the benefit of your gadget.

For the record, it was me who initiated the discussion; on reflection, probably in the wrong place

-Arb. (talk) 08:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Pyrospirit, hopefully you've already seen the comments on the other page, but it appears that the gadget version is missing something from the monobook.js version. PC78 (talk) 00:49, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Southfield is an example of a dab page that is shown as unassessed by the gadget. -Arb. (talk) 03:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Yep; I reported this over two months ago. It was fixed soon after in the monobook version but not the gadget. Gary King (talk) 03:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

SL-Class

Can support be added for SL-Class, as used by WP:PLANTS on articles such as List of beneficial weeds? PC78 (talk) 19:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

The script should assess SL as Stub. Gary King (talk) 19:07, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Why? It distinguishes Bplus-Class from B-Class. PC78 (talk) 20:01, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Easy enough to do. I've added support for SL-class. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 21:54, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Title color suppression

I am using the gadget version of the script (but I checked and the problem exists also with the monobook.js version), on Firefox v3.5.5. My monobook.css has the code for removing the colors from the titles, but it doesn't seem to work. What's going wrong? Thanks —Akrabbim^talk 03:29, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Did you clear your cache? The code looks right to me. My guess is that your browser is using a cached version of your monobook.css page. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 04:00, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
