Refering to my referal to you.[edit]

I was referred to you by @Vanamonde93: to talk about the issue to you that I stated here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Important_question.

The edit being questioned is this one : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nitwit&oldid=862024444

Thank you. :) Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 05:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

860 weird false positive[edit]

Hi MA. Can you have a look at Special:AbuseLog/22505092? Not sure how it managed to trip the filter, looks nothing like it. Home Lander (talk) 21:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Home Lander: norm("real) and The Gov") == "REALANDTHEGOV". I don't know what that means. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
I don't know what the "real and the gov" is about, either. At quick glance I don't see any recent positive hits that involved this string, so I've removed it. The RR vandalism as a whole has died down. I suspect before long we'll want to trim the regex to the most common strings and merge them into a shared filter. MusikAnimal talk 21:57, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
Found it. "Ryden is real and the government knows it", apparently. "RYDENISREAL" will match that anyway. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:06, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
That'd be it! I'm guessing it's still safe to remove. Courtesy ping to Crow who first added it. Another idea here is to do away with the norm function. At this point not many are going to great lengths to evade the filter MusikAnimal talk 22:14, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

───────────────────────── Wow - what are the odds "(Montreal) and The Governor" would manage to match such a phrase. Thanks for spotting that. Home Lander (talk) 01:14, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Pageviews analytics[edit]

Hi, can you please fix pageview tool? It is broken. Thanks Patriccck (talk) 16:15, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@Patriccck: It looks like the page was recently moved. Pageviews unfortunately don't move to the new title. But, you can get around this by querying for redirects using Redirect Views. See [6] MusikAnimal talk 23:30, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018[edit]

Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg

Hello MusikAnimal,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
  • Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)18:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

A message from Ministerboy[edit]

We still need protection in Muangthong United F.C. page due to Edit war and in this time is during a transfer season so un-regis user may edit without reference and edit by use an unsource or rumour news. I suggust you to lock it more than one week, as you can see this page is be protect in one week for more than 2 times so I think protection for 1 week is not insufficient. I need you to protect the reference information in this page because when un-regis user edit it with unsorce information the true information will missing and the problem of true information will happen! Thank Ministerboy (talk) 23:23, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@Ministerboy: Done. For future reference you can request page protection at WP:RFPP. MusikAnimal talk 23:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Community Wishlist vote totals[edit]

Hi! Does a table showing the number of votes for each proposal in the community wishlist exist yet? I was thinking of making one if not. Enterprisey (talk!) 09:31, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Ha! I just wrote you on your talk page about this. Yes a bot does exist to count the votes, but we haven't turned it on yet so as to not influence voting. We'll probably make it public in a day or two. The report lives at meta:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Tracking. Best MusikAnimal talk 18:38, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Cool, thanks for letting me know! Enterprisey (talk!) 22:29, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps it is time to mark Wikipedia's Today's Article For Improvement as inactive, and stop auto-running the bot on it... Eddie891 Talk Work 00:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

@Eddie891: Reviewing Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/Accomplishments, it would seem there are a number of editors who still actively participate in this project. I'd ask at WT:TAFI MusikAnimal talk 04:01, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
