Revision as of 17:26, 14 September 2018

Time to finally touch some grass. May be back someday. You can consider my projects "unmaintained"; I would be happy to help anyone looking to take on maintenance of any of them.

In particular, Legoktm and 0xDeadbeef are the two other maintainers of apersonbot on Toolforge and should thus be your first point of contact for any of those projects.

Keep in touch! Messages are warmly appreciated, whether via email, Discord (where my username is doctor_worm), or IRC. What's next? Probably a lot more FRC. Thank you all so much for the many good memories over the years. <3

Stay cool,

Archives: Index, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13: 56 days

When I'm online, I'm always accessible in #wikipedia-en ^connect. Also, I've been a bit less active lately, so archiving has been disabled so I don't miss anything. Might turn it back on eventually when the page gets too long.

If you're here about the reply-link script, please use User talk:Enterprisey/reply-link.

Filtering drafts: some more

Thought this would help (see source rather than the long mess it appears as). I didn't know how specific you wanted to get so I tried to keep it general but WikiProject Dams, WikiProject Albums exists for example.

Hope this helps- and good luck with your talk! jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:30, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! This is super helpful, and I'll add it to the script now. The new projects will be up in about an hour and 45 minutes. Enterprisey (talk!) 19:15, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AFC/R

Hi Enterprisey. Would it make sense to disable the AFCH portletlink on WP:AFC/R? It doesn't do anything there AFAICT, and we have AFCRHS. Thanks, Sam Sailor 00:00, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Silly question, but do you mean the Review (AFCH) link in the "More" menu? Enterprisey (talk!) 00:48, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, "Review (AFCH)" in the More menu is what I'm talking about. I always confuse it with "Review AFC/R" that User:EnterpriseyBot/AFCRHS.js puts in there. Thanks, Sam Sailor 10:50, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tracked on the todo list, should be ten minutes. I'm redoing my workflow for uploading new scripts, which is holding up this and some other fixes, but as soon as I have a solid chunk of time they'll all go out. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:30, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should be fixed now. Enterprisey (talk!) 16:59, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AFCH issue

Hi Enterprisey. Have a look at Special:Diff/828608530/828608703 and it happened again, had to manually fix it in Special:Diff/828609568/next. Thanks again for the many hours you put into your fine scripts. Best, Sam Sailor 17:21, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As a reminder to myself, this has been fixed. Enterprisey (talk!) 04:02, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RFA Vote count tool

Hey Enterprisey,

I was looking for a tool that listed an user's RFA votes, to add to my Template:Usercheck-Super, but all I could find was a seemingly broken one, I was wondering if you would be willing to take the time to repair/and or make such a tool. Cheers! -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 13:34, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea; I'll start working on this soonish. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is on the xtools workboard. Speaking of which, the legacy xtools instance tool seems to work here, even if display is not perfect. --Izno (talk) 13:45, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Iazyges, just a ping in case you haven't seen Izno's comment above Enterprisey (talk!) 03:48, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Enterprisey and Izno: Thank you both! -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 06:21, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AFCH doesn't prevent data loss when navigating away from page.

I'm using:

AFCH v0.9 / Hatted Hamster
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.79 Safari/537.36

On most pages where I can edit text, if I don't save the text and navigate away from the page, Chrome issues me a warning, Changes you made may not be saved. with a chance to cancel or continue. When I'm typing something in AFCH, I don't get that warning. It would be really useful if the warning happened. More than once I've started typing a comment and lost my text because I accidentally navigated away from the page. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:40, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coming soon to a helper script near you. Enterprisey (talk!) 00:20, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your Delsort script edit summary still links to User:Enterprisey/delsort

Shouldn't it link to User:EnterpriseyBot/delsort?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_breakfast_drinks_(2nd_nomination)&curid=57975175&action=history --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 21:29, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I moved the docs to the bot's userspace, then realized this was a mistake and CSD'ed the redirect so I could move it back. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:33, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AfD Stats

Hi Enterprisey. I hope you have a fine summer. Did you change the way AfD Stats handles right and wrong? I looked at mine, and I notice that my "keep" !vote in this discussion closed as "merge" counts as "didn't match". Sam Sailor 16:18, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and I don't see any recent changes. I believe the reasoning of the original tool authors was that a merge is an indication that the content is unsuitable as a standalone article, but a keep is an indication that the content should largely remain at its current location. Enterprisey (talk!) 17:48, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

XTools edit counter

Hey there, I saw your comments about XTools on IRC. So you know, you can get just the namespace totals with XTools (example). This is still imposed by 350,000 edit count limitation, though. The issue obviously is users with a really high edit count can slow down the tool tremendously, for everyone else who uses it -- if not fail completely. The same is true for any tool with long-running queries. We have a few tasks to mitigate this, namely phab:T188677 and phab:T182182. I hope to get to them soon. I do have an older tool that just does the namespace counts, with no edit count limitation: toolforge:musikanimal/namespace_counter. It will run on Oshwah [1], but be prepared to wait ;)

Finally, I wanted to remind you XTools is open source. If you are interested, we'd absolutely love to have more contributors, even if it's just technical suggestions for improvements. Docs on how to contribute are at xtools.readthedocs.io. Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 13:57, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

magnustools/quick_counter is another tool to get the namespace breakdown of edits by a user — MusikAnimal ^talk 14:49, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links! I had no idea you could click on the section name in the edit counter to get just that section; that's a great feature. I'll add all of the tools to the WP:WK list, since I hadn't heard about those too.

I sadly don't know any PHP, but I will definitely send over any ideas for improvements if I happen to have any. Enterprisey (talk!) 18:23, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You should learn PHP! Not just so you can work on XTools, but because you are a talented developer and Wikimedia projects are predominantly PHP-based. I didn't know one lick of PHP two years ago, and somehow I've grown to love it. Learning it opened up the door to work on MediaWiki itself.

Back to the edit counter -- if you do decide to build your own, you will run into the same issues all the other tools have. Perhaps you're already aware of this, but namely, you have a hard limit of five database connections. So if five people are running the edit counter at the same time, the sixth person will be greeted with a "exceeded max connection limit" error. For this reason it's important to set some sane limits. You can do away with an edit count limit (a bad solution, admittedly), and instead set a max statement time so that queries gone wild are automatically killed. Failure to do this is why the old XTools and Supercount suffered from so much downtime. If you need more help in this area, feel free to ask. I'm mostly interested in how you plan to tackle this issue, as perhaps you have a better solution. — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:56, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How do I make your AFCRHS.js script work?

Hello. I was wondering how you make your script, User:EnterpriseyBot/AFCRHS.js work. This is because I am attempting to make it work to make helping out at WP:AFC/Redirects easier. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks. The Duke of Nonsense^{What is necessary for thee?}. 22:42, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Duke of Nonsense, hi! What do you mean by "make it work"? Enterprisey (talk!) 23:14, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I mean I implemented in my common.js page, and nothing has happened. Am I not meant to place it there, or have I copied the code wrong? Thanks for the quick response. The Duke of Nonsense^{What is necessary for thee?}. 23:16, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I got it to work. I just did a ImportScript and that made it work. Thanks. The Duke of Nonsense^{What is necessary for thee?}. 12:47, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, glad it started working. Enterprisey (talk!) 17:57, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Block afch on WP:AFC/R via gadget instead?

Is there a good reason for this instead of editing the gadget itself to include:

(/^(?:User:|Draft:|Wikipedia(?:_talk)?:Articles_for_creation)/.test(mw.config.get('wgPageName')) && mw.config.get('wgPageName') !== 'Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Redirects')

Seems like the latter would be more efficient, but didn't know if you'd prefer it this way for testing or some other good reason. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:03, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it would be more efficient. I've gotten used to fixing bugs in AFCH by pushing them to my userspace, so that solution didn't occur to me. Edit request filed. Enterprisey (talk!) 19:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 22:39, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And it seems to work now. Thanks for editing the gadget page! Enterprisey (talk!) 03:30, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use of visual anchor in section headings

Just as an FYI, Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Section_link_ignored_when_using_Template:_Anchor. This jibes with my experience with the Anchor /visual anchor template; I learned something from the link. Regards, --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 20:15, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, thanks for the link! Enterprisey (talk!) 06:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pointy deletion

Hello there, I'm writing about the deletion of the Pointy page. Would this coverage not satisfy GNG?

Regards, Sanchezmike2 Aug. 3rd

I've read your message and will respond soonish when I'm back at a computer. Enterprisey (talk!) 22:49, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, to comment on each source in order:

cnbc.com: isn't primarily about Pointy, doesn't contribute to significant coverage
forbes.com: quite good actually, I don't know how I missed it during the search; if we had another source of this quality I'd probably keep the article, to be honest.
sfgate.com: doesn't seem to mention Pointy that much, unless I missed something
youtube.com: YouTube cannot be used as a reliable source
irishtimes.com: also quite good, bit of a PR piece though (IS concerns)
businesspost.ie: paywalled, can't comment on how good it is, although I suspect I would have the same notes as for the irishtimes.com article

Summary: I'd probably have voted "keep" if I had done a better job searching & found these. (I can't get the Forbes article to show up on a news search for me, though.) I was obviously too quick to vote "delete" on this one. I'm considering a DRV; pinging Atsme and Tyw7 for thoughts before I do that. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:01, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Link to the article? Are you writing an article about WP:POINT? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 06:08, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pointy Enterprisey (talk!) 07:22, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

’’’comment’’’ - I still believe it fails GNG and NOT. When an article has limited activity at AfD, I look to DGG for his expertise...especially when it involves business promotion, so I pinged him. ^{Atsme📞📧} 13:14, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your attention to this matter. I will await further review. --Sanchezmike2

Thank you!

(barnstar moved to userspace) I know I thanked you already, but I keep being reminded how helpful this script really is. Many thanks again, -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 17:05, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Enterprisey (talk!) 22:49, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ask!

Hello, is the tool at [this site] still working? phjtieudoc 02:44, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Ah, it does seem to be broken. When I get back I'll see what I can do about fixing it and moving it to the official tools server. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:07, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help!

Hi! Concerning the rollback you applied on my modifications^[1], the summary function doesn't seem to leave much space for detailed explanations, which is why I put them in the talk page of the article^[2]. But I'm beginning here, I'd appreciate if you could tell me how I did wrong. Thanks. -- Nuotzi (talk) 06:06, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the followup message. I did not see the talk page message you left, and will respond there. In short, I thought the tower's construction issues were covered by reliable sources (and I spent five minutes fact-checking after I made the edit), but I may have been wrong. I've left your version up pending the outcome of any discussion on the talk page. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:47, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Nuotzi, it's almost always a good idea to write an edit summary, even if you have to severely summarize your explanation (and post a longer one on the talk page). Enterprisey (talk!) 23:49, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bots Newsletter, August 2018

Bots Newsletter, August 2018

Greetings!

Here is the 6th issue of the Bots Newsletter. You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from this list.

Highlights for this newsletter include:

ARBCOM

Nothing particular important happened. Those who care already know, those who don't know wouldn't care. The curious can dig ARBCOM archives themselves.

BAG

There were no changes in BAG membership since the last Bots Newsletter. Headbomb went from semi-active to active.
In the last 3 months, only 3 BAG members have closed requests - help is needed with the backlog.

BOTREQs and BRFAs

As of writing, we have...

24 active BOTREQs, please help if you can!
5 open BRFAs and 3 BRFAs in need of BAG attention (see live status).
54 approved bot tasks since the start of 2018. Of note, Community Tech bot 5 (the #10 Wish on the 2017 Community Survey) was approved to notify users concerning problematic images and files from Wikimedia Commons.

Also

If you're a bot operator that can help with Tidy/Linter error cleanup (see discussion, discussion), please file a BRFA!
8 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion, discussion, discussion).

Discussions

These are some of the discussions that happened / are still happening since the last Bots Newsletter. Many are stale, but some are still active.

Use of tags by bots – Exploring the use of a new 'bot' tag.
Mass page moves – Bot policy question/clarification about mass moves.
Creation of redirects – Bot policy question/clarification about the creation of redirects.
Guidance on disruptive use of semi–automated tools? – Related to meatbots (see also MOS discussion, which resulted in small addition to MOS:VAR).
Discussion concerning WP:BOTFLAG/WP:RC – A reminder that bots should use the bot flag when it makes sense to use it (see also VPT discussion and CREATEBOT update).
Out of curiosity... (to all bot operators) – BotPasswords vs OAuth usage amongst bot operators.
Introducing Toolhub – Toolhub is looking for feedback.

New things

{{Automated tools}}, a new template linking to user-activated tools and scripts has been created. It can be used in articles previews, and can be placed on any non-mainspace page/template (e.g. {{Draft article}}) to provide convenient links to editors.
AWB 5.10.0.0 is out, after nearly 20 months without updates. If you run an old version, you will be prompted to install the new version automatically. See the changelog for what's new. Note that the next version will require .NET Framework 4.5. Many thanks to Reedy and the AWB team.
BotWatch, "a listing of editors that have made >2 edits per minute [without] a bot flag", is being developed by SQL (see discussion).
Massive updates and improvements have been made to Citation bot in the past few months (see discussions, discussions, discussions). You can activate the bot here, amongst other methods.
HTML Tidy has been phased out (see Tech News #28).
{{Newbot}} has been reorganized a bit (diff). In particular, it links to previously approved BRFAs (see discussion).
Wikipedia:Bots#See also has been reorganized a bit (diff).
The bot dictionary has two new entries, context bot and context-sensitive edit.
The bot request header has been updated to include better guidance (see discussion).
The subcategories of Category:Wikipedia bot requests for approval have been sorted in a consistent manner to make past BRFAs easier to find.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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

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)[reply]

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

Locus.sh

Note that per this discussion on my talk page, I have restored the Locus.sh article and relisted its deletion discussion. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reconsidering Locus Page

Hi First of all, thank you for investing your valuable time in reviewing the Locus's credentials and giving me an opportunity to submit a few facts and references. I respect your comments and some of the concerns brought in light regarding the page and hence working towards an explanation for your kind consideration. I do understand where you are coming from. Just want to highlight that Locus.sh is the brand name for the supply chain automation/logistics optimization products and solutions used by the company. Locus.sh is one of the top logistics automation and optimization brand of India with the majority of its operations based out of Bangalore, India, however, the parent company is registered in Delaware, US. Locus is serving clients based in the US, Indonesia, Australia and Canada, however, the biggest focus is the Indian subcontinent. One of the reasons why most of the third party validation you see is from Indian publications. Please allow me a day to provide all the information and also suggestions for changes in the page that can be considered by the respected voters and Wikipedia Admin.

User/user in sigs and afdstats.py

Hi Enterprisey. A comment in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of double albums made me curious, but [2] returns no results. The only reason I can think of is Andrew using [[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew D.]] in his signature. Would something like ([Uu])ser in afdstats.py solve that? Sam Sailor 08:42, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I have way too many regular expressions floating around my various scripts & tools - mostly because I hit different edge cases in different tools. I should get around to unifying all of them. In this particular case, absolutely - and I should just make the entire namespace case-insensitive, since during reply-link testing I encountered a user who would sign [[USER:X]] ([[USER TALK:X|talk]])! Enterprisey (talk!) 07:41, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Sailor, should be fixed now. Enterprisey (talk!) 04:58, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Enterprisey, Thank you, works fine. (Does Reply-link remove the "[[User:##| ##]], " bit when posting on a matching User talk page? Leaving it in out of curiosity.) Sam Sailor 07:03, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delsort no longer visible on AfD pages

Hello Enterprisey, I use the delsort tool for occasional AfD discussions (in User:GermanJoe/vector.js). Usually the tool is shown in the "More" tab on top together with other installed tools such as rater, redirect highlighting and dash fixing. But now it's no longer showing (all other tools are still visible, I use Firefox 52.9.0). Maybe it's just some kind of loader issue or my clumsy call definition (I am not really experienced with more complex details of Wiki-functionality, and am just copypasting the installation instructions usually). I have other tools also installed at User:GermanJoe/common.js (just fyi). If you got some time, would you mind taking a quick look at the function call and possible issues please? I'd greatly appreciate any help. GermanJoe (talk) 19:54, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Maybe it helps as background info: the tool was still visible on 18 August, when I started an AfD nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elixir Technologies Corporation (2nd nomination). GermanJoe (talk) 20:08, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GermanJoe, I located the problem. Your vector.js contains a call to mw.util.addPortletLink that isn't wrapped in the proper call, which means that all of the lines below it (including the line that imports the delsort script) won't run. You should copy the code at User:Enterprisey/vector.js (which is just the code at your vector.js with one modification - i.e. wrapping the addPortletLink call) to your vector.js, which should fix the issue. Enterprisey (talk!) 20:39, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That worked, thank you for your help. I knew, it had something to do with my less-than-optimal coding ;). GermanJoe (talk) 20:53, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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/

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

A Barnstar for you!
