Hello Legoktm

Hello Legoktm, can you have a look here. Thank you. Jim Carter (talk) 05:49, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Legoktm, my name is Jim Cartar. Technical 13 told me to ask you for help so I'm here onbehalf of WP:ORPHAN. I have requested for WP:MMS somedays ago but it is still waiting for a review so I was wondering if you can review this request. Thank you for your help. Jim Carter (talk) 03:36, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

We need your help testing latest huggle

Hello,

I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!

Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

FAC bot

I've been temporarily updating the FAC pages, etc while your bot request is going through. I'd comment on the request page, but that's way outside my comfort zone, so I've come here! Just a few points, which you may freely ignore if you want. First, I have a very rudimentary understanding of Python, but it didn't look like the bot updates the GA count on the GA page; it removes the article from the GA list when it passes FA but does not change the number listed at the bottom of that section (unless I missed it, which is highly likely). Similarly, the GA pages are horribly out of date as VoxelBot never removed promoted articles from the GA pages; is there any way to update the lists automatically? Secondly, someone mentioned on the request page about updating the Article History after promotion to GA; I think Legobot already adds all the information to the Talk pages of new GAs but could this be added into the Article History (which is a pain to update manually)? And could something similar be done with Peer reviews? I hope all this makes sense. Thanks for stepping up on this one, as whatever you do will, I suspect, be a vast improvement on what we have now.

You're right, it doesn't update the counts in each section. I had thought about using a Lua template to just automate in general (see my request). If that doesn't pan out, I'll just write a different script to keep them in sync.
As for the VoxelBot backlog, I'll look into writing a one-time script for it. Ideally though, we should just automate the entire page...not sure how easy/possible that is.
GAs and peer review sound like a good extension of the current task, but I think for now I want to get FAC/FLC working first, make sure there are no bugs, etc., and then start taking on new tasks :) Legoktm (talk) 07:59, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
My apologies, I just realised that your bot has been granted approval. I closed today's FACs before I saw this, so I'm sorry if this has slowed you down! I won't do any further closures, I'll let the bot get to work. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:57, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Blocking bots on deceased editor's page

Can you please block bot posts on User:Cindamuse's Talk page? I tried doing so but the page is still getting bot posts so something didn't take. Softlavender (talk) 00:26, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Done, but each bot might have it's own opt-out method... Legoktm (talk) 00:36, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Database report request

A year ago, I requested a report that included inactive users listed at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage. Can I get an updated report of all users that haven't edited since January 2013. Bgwhite (talk) 00:49, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
