MusikBot?

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T143375

Could you check out the archiving for WP:PERM? No clerking appears to have been done for the last several days. Thanks for looking into this. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 17:53, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I archived requests through August 10. I've also noticed that it is not removing protection templates from unprotected pages. Is something wrong with it? —MRD2014 T C 17:03, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, the Tool Labs cron jobs for those two tasks got stuck for some reason... should be good now. Thanks for the manual archiving, I know that was a pain! — MusikAnimal ^talk 02:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Seems like it isn't working again. MusikBot did not remove an unnecessary header that was added to a request for page mover (which MusikBot normally fixes), so I fixed it. —MRD2014 (talk) (contribs) 00:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Geez, I will poke some labs folks. Thanks — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:40, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

@BU Rob13 and MRD2014: It's mostly a mystery... see phab:T143375. I've made a few changes that might help, I guess we'll find out! Anyway, I'll be on wikibreak over the weekend, so if it goes down again rest assured I'll get it back up and running on Monday. I'm then going to try to recruit another maintainer so we don't rely on my spotty activity to fix stuff :) Best — MusikAnimal ^talk 17:40, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Bug has been fixed :) Turns out there was recently a breaking change to the API format — MusikAnimal ^talk 05:00, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

A message from 98.204.136.208

Hello MusikAnimal! Really tried to make this a haiku but unfortunately I am bereft in this aspect of creativity :(.

I found one of your photos through Google (see the link below). My band and I would love to use and edit the image, including cropping, filtering, and adding our EP and song title text over some of it. We're releasing a 3 song EP, which is a historical rethinking of "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysche Shelley. Per your file license: "You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work)" how would you like to be like to be credited? Would you like your wikipedia handle or your actual name? We plan to credit you on the album cover, which will be available for download by anyone for free.

Please feel free to email me at tmsilver11@gmail.com. Thanks for your wonderful articles and photography.

Hello! I am flattered that you want to use my photo! :) If you could credit "MusikAnimal" and include the URL to my Commons page in the liner notes that will be plenty sufficient. The page is at commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MusikAnimal. I will also email you. Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 01:00, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Cake by the Ocean

Can you semi-protect the page to persistent genre warrior. 123.136.107.169 (talk) 00:54, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

 Done Seems appropriate. Thanks for the report — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:56, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Genre warrior returns

Hi MusikAnimal. You blocked this IP last time for 3 months. And now this rather familiar reprise. Thought you might want to act sooner rather than later? I can report through the normal channels, if required, but I suspect that it will just delay the inevitable. Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:09, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Same old, same old, so I've blocked again. Thanks — MusikAnimal ^talk 15:14, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-34

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The ORES review tool is now available on Special:Contributions as a beta feature. It can make it easier to find contributions that are probably damaging the wikis. The ORES review tool is available on Wikidata and Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish and Russian Wikipedia. [1]
• The norm and ccnorm functions have been updated to make it easier to write abuse filters. This also affects the TitleBlacklist extension. You don't have to transform "I" and "L" to "1", "O" to "0" and "S" to "5" anymore. [2]
• The old pageview data in the "pagecounts-raw" and "pagecounts-all-sites" files is no longer being updated. You can find the new pageview data here. This happened on August 5. [3]

Problems

• Some big image files could not be thumbnailed. This has now been fixed. [4]
• When you moved a page over a redirect it would delete the redirect without saving it in the logs. This has now been fixed. [5]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 August. It will be on all wikis from 25 August (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 23 August at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Sometimes when you mention another user they don't get a notification. You will be able to get a notification when you successfully sent out a mention to someone or be told if they did not get a notification. This will be opt-in. You can test this on the test wiki. [6][7]
• How you add text after an edit conflict might work in a different way in the future. You can test the prototype. [8]

Response helper

Any plans to add a 30-500 response for WP:RFPP?--NeilN ^{talk to me} 18:23, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

I can take care of that right now :) — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:24, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

@NeilN: Done! — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:27, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! --NeilN ^{talk to me} 18:54, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

I really appreciate the script; it's been a big help! Airplaneman ✈ 02:04, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey

Just wanted to pop over and say hello. I hope all's well with you. CrashUnderride 18:57, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Well hello to you! All is well, about to go on a 5-day wikibreak, Lockn' Festival 2016 is here! :D How have you been? — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:14, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

I've been good, trying to stay outta trouble. The usual. lol. Hope you have fun at the festival, wow, that's actually not that far from me. CrashUnderride 22:39, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Battle of al-Rai (August 2016)

The above article has also been vandalized recently by the same users who vandalized Battle of Jarabulus. Please consider semi-protecting it as well. Newsboy39 (talk) 19:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Revision history statistics

Hi. Could you take a look and see why the Revision history statistics tool doesn't work on WP:ANI? It seems to be redirecting to another stats search page that doesn't work either. What I need is a list of users, say over the past 12 months, and the number of their contribs to that page, and to see how many of them are admins. Cheers, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:46, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

MusikBot

Just wanted to say it does a good job at RFR! I haven't granted rollback in a while, but having an easy link to previous requests is incredibly useful. Thehelpfulone 15:42, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
