User:JPxG/bigindex
Hi JpxG! Could you please make the necessary tweaks to prevent User:JPxG/bigindex from being included in article categories? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 21:45, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- @GoingBatty: I've got no clue why the hell that page is showing up in the article categories, although figuring it out seems like a difficult task (it's a transclusion of all my userspace drafts and sandbice). If you can figure it out, you have my permission to go to whatever page is triggering it and fix that -- which article category are you talking about? It should be possible to use PETscan or something to figure out which other userspace pages I hajve that are in the category. jp×g 21:55, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Scrolling to the bottom of the page, it shows it is in Category:Neural network software and Category:Language modeling. GoingBatty (talk) 22:02, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- PetScan only shows User:JPxG/bigindex. However, Special:ExpandTemplates leads me to think that it's because User:JPxG/bigindex includes User:JPxG/Draft21, which redirects to Wu Dao. GoingBatty (talk) 22:16, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- I fixed the issue by adding {{main other}} around the categories in Wu Dao. If you want to change your user pages, you can revert this edit. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 22:24, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- I figured it might have been something with the userspace drafts that redirect to mainspace articles being transcluded -- that works excellently. I will just blank the redirect since I don't really need it. jp×g 02:12, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Orcale
Hey, first: thanks for your great work on Oracle. I'm digging into some old conversations and it's immensely helpful. Fantastic work.
I noticed that December 2008 is missing, the history indicates there was an error which was blanked but not replaced. Did you encounter problems that would take too much time to be worth solving, or do you have plans to populate December too? /Julle (talk) 08:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- I think there is a small bug with Oracle; it doesn't count the !vote of the nominator when determining percentage and number of votes. BilledMammal (talk) 19:16, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- @BilledMammal: I guess that's kind of a bug, but it kind of isn't -- every once in a while there are pro forma nominations, or AfDs where the nom changes their mind, so it would be pretty hard to keep track of the edge cases here. jp×g 22:42, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Julle: There are a few months where the scripts got messed up, usually due to formatting errors on the archive pages themselves (incorrect transclusions and the like). I'm not really sure what went wrong there, but I am in the process of transitioning the Toolforge job from crontab to a Kubernetes job, so I might be able to figure it out then. jp×g 22:44, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

reFill
Hi JP. Good to meet you. Firstly, thanks for all that you do for Wikipedia! It would be great to have some help with reFill. Perhaps if I start with the background to my involvement. When I became an AfC reviewer I started to use reFill daily as a means to clean up the refs in a draft and quickly identify those which might meet WP:THREE and those which are unlikely to as being self-published, from non-RS etc. ReFill went through a period when it was getting stuck frequently, and attempts to contact the maintainer (the original author) went unanswered. I began to report these outages on Phabricator, and messaged the WMF cloud team on IRC, talking directly to engineers that could access the production environment, inspect logs and restart it. Eventually, the maintainer reappeared briefly (like, for a day), fixed the underlying issue and deployed it. At that time I was able to contact him and we agreed that I should have access to the prod environment. We didn't actually have any handover, and having followed the instructions for the numerous steps to get access to the toolforge environment and eventually in October the GitHub repo, the focus then switched to getting the dev stack installed. I found that most dependencies were to out of date versions and when I tried to use the current versions of those I got into a tangle of breaking changes and incompatibilities. I was getting error after error and increasingly frustrated. It was not helped that my technical background is Windows and .NET, not Linux, and while I like to keep my hand in, I've not been a professional developer since 2012. Initially I tried setting up a VM, then using the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and then User:TheresNoTime offered to help and she wrote these instructions for how to set up a dev environment on Windows. The real blocker to progress on reFill comes down to:
- Me not having a working dev/test environment
- When logged into Putty, it is evident that the production environment is a mess with numerous versions and it is unclear what is what
- Lack of a staging environment where anything deemed potentially ready for prod could be tested by multiple users
So while people could push their fixes to the repo, there's currently no way to test them and safely deploy them. Triaging the issues reported in GitHub (most of which are actually enhancement ideas rather than bug fixes) and doing the same on Phabricator and Talk:ReFill has not been the priority given the inability to do much about the issues. I can see you have Python and JS skills so you may be the perfect person I had hoped would come along. Do you also know Vue, Celery, and Docker by any luck? It would be great to work together on this, perhaps with you leading on the dev side and I can do more on the community side. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 10:25, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Curb Safe Charmer: I am a Lunix nerd (I've used it as my primary operating system since 2016 and have set up/run a variety of servers on it since). I've written some stuff in Python and JavaScript, and am currently in the process of figuring out some more front-end stuff (like Vue, React, etc) as well as some web development/deployment stuff (like Docker). I have no idea what Celery is (looks like some sort of task queue/load balancer thing). I'm about to go to bed tonight, but I am going to start trying to look through this stuff tomorrow. I think we should probably set up a page somewhere where we (and maybe other people, if any want to) can mess around and try to figure stuff out -- my talk page is going to get flooded with a bunch of random crap. Do you have any notes, diagrams, et cetera about the way the program is set up? When I write complicated software, I often have a .txt (or a piece of graph paper) with a bunch of boxes and lines on it and random stuff that helps me think about the way it's structured. jp×g 11:06, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds great. An interest in 'figuring out stuff' and the tenacity to keep going will be useful. When the user submits a request to expand the references in an article, either via the front end or through the API, those requests are queued in the backend as tasks in Celery.
- So far, there's stuff at User:TheresNoTime/ReFill, User talk:TheresNoTime/ReFill and older stuff at User:Curb Safe Charmer/Refilldev in addition to the user manual and readme. No diagrams though! I suggest we continue at Wikipedia:Refill/technical discussion which I've created for the purpose if we want to keep things on-wiki. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:09, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- @JPxG: How are you getting on with this? Any progress? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:41, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Not a lot, frankly -- I have become a lot more busy than I planned to in the last couple months. If it turns out that the people who had planned to maintain ReFill don't end up figuring it out, I may be available later. jp×g 22:44, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Special:Nuke will now provide the standard deletion reasons (editable at MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown) to use when mass-deleting pages. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. [4]
- At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the Growth features by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to update their help resources. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change. [5]
- You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup
class=notpageimage
. For example,[[File:Example.png|class=notpageimage]]
. [6] There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in the mobile skin. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A list of all the HTML changes is on Phabricator.
Events
- Community Wishlist Survey results have been published. The ranking of prioritized proposals is also available.
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 February. It will be on all wikis from 24 February (calendar).
Future changes
- The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years. [7][8]
Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are details, deadlines, and instructions on Wikitech. [9]
- Administrators will soon have the option to delete/undelete the associated "talk" page when they are deleting a given page. An API endpoint with this option will also be available. This was a request from the 2021 Wishlist Survey.

Discretionary sanctions topic area changes
In a process that began last year with WP:DS2021, the Arbitration Committee is evaluating Discretionary Sanctions (DS) in order to improve it. A larger package of reforms is slated for sometime this year. From the work done so far, it became clear a number of areas may no longer need DS or that some DS areas may be overly broad.
The topics proposed for revocation are:
- Senkaku islands
- Waldorf education
- Ancient Egyptian race controversy
- Scientology
- Landmark worldwide
The topics proposed for a rewording of what is covered under DS are:
- India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
- Armenia/Azerbaijan
Additionally any Article probation topics not already revoked are proposed for revocation.

Editor of the Week | |
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project) |
User:Theleekycauldron, User:Juxlos, User:Eviolite and User:Novem Linguae submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- JPxG has made nearly 50,000 edits (over half to mainspace). They have written over 100 informative articles about island territories in the United States which have made for a couple dozen ridiculously interesting DYKs. Impressing with a ""chefs kiss" of information about tiny islands is their niche and they do it well. They have also written quality articles such as Simp, 1-pentadecanol, and Extremely Online. Great software work with the Oracle for Deletion and PressPass as well. JPxG has taken ownership of some technical newsletters and is helping to revive them. Between their newsletter work and their signpost work, which both have themes of documenting and reporting Wikipedia activities, they have become a bit of a wiki "historian".

- @Partialitarian: The material was included in the article per consensus reached during a talk page discussion in 2020, so I think discussing it there would be better than continuing to blank the entire section. The information is verifiable, and it's not undue, as far as I can tell. jp×g 20:58, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

- I don't think the reasons were spurious. If you'd like to discuss the content of the article, it'd be more productive to do so on its talk page. jp×g 21:08, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- You falsely accused me of not explaining my edit, as a spurious pretext for your malicious revert. Why did you do that? Partialitarian (talk) 21:17, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- I am not sure what you are referring to. {{Uw-delete1}} (which was what I put on your talk page) says "recently removed content without adequately explaining why", which is not the same as providing no explanation. jp×g 21:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

British Asian
This person just added unsupported data and prediction to British Asian article. [10]. Do you see "One of the most notable Asian migration waves lately could be ..." or "It is predicted up to 500,000 people are expected to move to the UK within 3 years" at the instructions on [11]? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.198.114 (talk • contribs)
- You are correct, 160.39.198.114. I checked the reference and it seems to have nothing to do with the content -- I'll take out that paragraph and remove the warning from your talk page. Apologies for the bad revert. jp×g 22:52, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- When searching for edits by change tags, e.g. in page history or user contributions, there is now a dropdown list of possible tags. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. [12]
- Mentors using the Growth Mentor dashboard will now see newcomers assigned to them who have made at least one edit, up to 200 edits. Previously, all newcomers assigned to the mentor were visible on the dashboard, even ones without any edit or ones who made hundred of edits. Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved. [13][14]
The user group
oversight
was renamedsuppress
. This is for technical reasons. You may need to update any local references to the old name, e.g. gadgets, links to Special:Listusers, or uses of NUMBERINGROUP.
Problems
- The recent change to the HTML of tracking changes pages caused some problems for screenreaders. This is being fixed. [15]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 March. It will be on all wikis from 3 March (calendar).
Future changes
- Working with templates will become easier. Several improvements are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.
- If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes:
successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox
), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at phab:T300314 if you think you might be affected.

By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status".

An arbitration case regarding Skepticism and coordinated editing has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- Rp2006 (talk · contribs) is warned against a battleground mentality and further incivility.
- Rp2006 is indefinitely topic banned from edits related to living people associated with or of interest to scientific skepticism, broadly construed. This topic ban may be appealed after six months have elapsed and every six months thereafter.
- A. C. Santacruz (talk · contribs) is reminded to remain collegial in editing and interacting with others.
- Roxy the dog (talk · contribs) is warned to remain collegial in editing and interacting with others.
- GSoW is advised that a presence on English Wikipedia, perhaps as its own WikiProject or as a task force of WikiProject Skepticism, will create more transparency and lessen some of the kinds of suspicion and conflict that preceded this case. It could also provide a place for the GSoW to get community feedback about its training which would increase its effectiveness.
- Editors are reminded that discretionary sanctions for biographies of living people have been authorized since 2014. Editors named in this decision shall be considered aware of these discretionary sanctions under awareness criterion 1.
