signature lints
[edit]Hello. I hope you are doing well. After Qwerfjkl (bot) 31, I am wondering, how do you create page list for pywikibot script? —usernamekiran (talk) 16:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Usernamekiran, for that I used:Using a text file that I created manually — Qwerfjkltalk 17:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
parsed_data = parse_text_file(file_path) titles=[] for entry in parsed_data: gen = pagegenerators.SearchPageGenerator(entry['search_url'], site=site) print(f"Searching for {entry['search_url']}") for title in gen: titles.append(title) titles = list(set(titles)) print(len(titles))
- thanks, this is appreciated a lot. One more silly question: how many cases are you going to handle? The list at Wikipedia:Linter/Signature submissions looks pretty big. I am happy to help. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Usernamekiran, I just copy & pasted all the ones that hand replacements into a text file (about 40, I think). — Qwerfjkltalk 06:17, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- dang. Let me know if some task comes up. I would be happy to help. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:13, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Usernamekiran, I was thinking of making a website to make submissions easier. A lot of linter errors are repeated, and we can use parsoid to verify the output text has no lint errors.Currently I'm working on something like toolforge:yabbr but for bare URLs. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- that sounds interesting. let me know if I can contribute in some way. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Usernamekiran, For the latter, I have a not-so-working demo at https://abba.toolforge.org/. I'm probably going to be busy in real life for the next few weeks, so I'm more than happy to share the code if you want to play around with it (I should probably publish the code anyway, but oh well). — Qwerfjkltalk 20:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where...
[edit]- Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.
Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project. The Wikidata item sitelink currently found under the General section of the Tools sidebar menu will move into the In Other Projects section.
We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the Discussion page before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on the project page.
We welcome your feedback and questions.

Mass RM CfD
[edit]How do users mass rename CfD properly? Because when nominating, it lacks the title I want to change them into. --MikutoH talk! 01:21, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- MikutoH, when you're listing the titles, use | followed by the title you want to rename them to, e.g. Category:Example|Category:Target — Qwerfjkltalk 17:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-40
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- Readers of 42 more wikis can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the night-mode-checker tool if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The recommendations page provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
- Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding
?veaction=editsource
to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in your preferences. [1] - For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. Learn more about the changes related to donor experiences. [2]
- The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been enabled on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. Chinese Wikipedia has decided to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress on Spanish Wikipedia and on Wikidata. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki.
- View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should check if any action is required for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.
In depth
- The server switch was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of only 2 minutes 46 seconds. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. [3]
Meetings and events
- October 4–6: WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon in Johannesburg, South Africa
- November 4–6: MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 in Vienna, Austria

Administrators' newsletter – October 2024
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2024).
- Administrator elections are a proposed new process for selecting administrators, offering an alternative to requests for adminship (RfA). The first trial election will take place in October 2024, with candidate sign-up from October 8 to 14, a discussion phase from October 22 to 24, and SecurePoll voting from October 25 to 31. For questions or to help out, please visit the talk page at Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections.
- Following a discussion, the speedy deletion reason "File pages without a corresponding file" has been moved from criterion G8 to F2. This does not change what can be speedily deleted.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether there is a consensus to have an administrator recall process.
- The arbitration case Historical elections has been closed.
- An arbitration case regarding Backlash to diversity and inclusion has been opened.
- Editors are invited to nominate themselves to serve on the 2024 Arbitration Committee Electoral Commission until 23:59 October 8, 2024 (UTC).
- If you are interested in stopping spammers, please put MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist and MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist on your watchlist, and help out when you can.
CfD backlog
[edit]Would you be willing to close a few older CfD discussions? The backlog is slowly growing. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Marcocapelle, I'm currently very busy in real life. I will be free in a few weeks, but unfortunately I can't help right now. — Qwerfjkltalk 14:27, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Bot emails down?
[edit]I haven't seen any bot-edit notifications lately; is the tool down? (edit: sorry, just noticed you're busy, no rush on this since I only noticed today anyway) Primefac (talk) 19:02, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Primefac, it looks like it hasn't been updating for the past few days (since the 29th). I've restarted it now. Let me know if the problem persists. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:50, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Will do, thanks. Primefac (talk) 19:59, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Seems to be working. Primefac (talk) 13:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
