Linter reports not updating and count issue
There's an issue with the Linter reports today. I noticed that they were counting high yesterday, and today they timeout (600 sec) when manually updated. They were all counting high, and I checked a few of the top pages and compared the counts to their page information lint counts, and they varied wildly, typically 21 or so higher than the actual. I know for a fact that we have the article space errors down to 2 errors max per article (barring any daily flareup), and all 1000 entries displaying were all claiming 21+, which is thankfully not true.
Do you know why they were counting high? I'm not aware of a new error type, but realize that is a possible answer.
I see there's now a lag on server 1, but there wasn't any this morning when the issue was occurring, so not sure if they are connected or not. The owner of the bot used to do the updating, SD0001 is not the person to contact. Contacting you since you set these reports up to be done by their bot. If you aren't the person to contact, who should I contact, or shall I just do a public post on WP:LINT's talk page? And do you know what's up with the count being off and the report updating timing out (assuming the server 1 lag is unrelated)? Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 20:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This appears to be a toolforge (partial?) outage problem. The reports will presumably fix themselves when toolforge comes back 100%. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the RIIJ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Newly maintained scripts
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
