UserRightsManager

The name of the userRightsManager gadget has changed, so some users may have the tick turned off. It may be necessary to re-enable it in the preferences. LisafBia (talk) 13:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

We encourage bureaucrats, if you have last edited before June 2024, to re-enable its preferences. This user   supports this decision. Tailsultimatefan3891 talklogscontribs 20:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Inactivity for AFAs

Should inactivity for AFAs be measured in regular terms, or should it be measured by the last time an abuse filter was modified by an AFA, or perhaps even the last time a filter was modified to use a restricted action or a restricted filter was modified? I'd like to know consensus on this before I go and modify the inactivity policy. Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I would choose when the last time some AFA modified a regular abuse filter (without restricted actions). Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 02:18, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
We don't have a bot for it yet? That checks for inactivity? Justman10000 (talk) 16:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nope. It's a manual process. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Would be at least 3 months at least I can suggest. Tailsultimatefan3891 talkcontribs 12:46, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Suppression Reports

Not sure if this was ever officially announced, but you can go to Special:Report/REVID to report a revision that needs suppressed. X (talk + contribs) 21:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

When I installed the extension, I announced it on Discord, but never made an announcement here. *facepalm* Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
*sigh* *ahem* I agree on this feature. Tailsultimatefan3891 talklogscontribs 21:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
You’re fine, no problem! X (talk + contribs) 21:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's also included in the newsletter :) The AP (talk) 15:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Requests for approval (bot)

Hello all, I have created a bot account named User:DR bot for maintenance tasks on this wiki. The first task I want to perform with this bot is to archive discussions on pages like the community portal, user talk pages, and other discussion venues. Therefore, I am requesting approval from the community. I'm also happy to assist with other tasks as needed. DR (talk) 16:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am against a bot archiving user talk pages, people should and do have the freedom to archive whenever. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 20:48, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I would assume such a bot would be opt-in, as I would oppose mandatory archival myself. Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:21, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
This seems very uncontroversial if user talks are opt-in. We don’t have a RfBA here, @DR, so you are welcome to move forward with your bot. X (talk + contribs) 23:26, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Justarandomamerican, @Sav, @X This bot will not archive user talk page messages on its own. It will only do so if the following template is present. Users can add this template if they want to archive messages automatically.
{{User:DR/config
|archive = User talk:DR/Archive %(counter)d
|algo = old(1d)
|counter = 1
|maxarchivesize = 10k
|archiveheader =
|minthreadstoarchive = 1
|minthreadsleft = 1
}}
DR (talk) 02:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, in that case, I'll go ahead and give your bot the green flag. Justarandomamerican (talk) 03:11, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, that changes my opinion. All good with me :) Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 19:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Great, I will work on the documentation for this template. After that, we can set up auto-archiving for the community portal and the permissions request page. DR (talk) 15:34, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@DR Can you shed light on other tasks this bot will perform? The AP (talk) 12:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I currently don't have any other tasks, but I am available to help with anything if someone needs. DR (talk) 12:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Interface administrator

Since there is nothing more for me to do here, I would like to be a interface administrator... I would mainly take care of the gadgets, adding or removing scripts (if desired) there and translating them... Since I seem to have plenty of time until candidate as steward/system administrator, I would at least to do this!

As I said, without this I would have nothing more to do here! And we don't want me to just sit here and wait Justman10000 (talk) 08:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not a steward but this attitude isn’t encouraging to me. I don’t have confidence that you will be a suitable IA, mainly due to WP:CIR. Do you have any previous work in this area? X (talk + contribs) 02:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
As I said, I would mainly manage the gadgets... Justman10000 (talk) 08:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
IA is a sensitive right, in the hands of people who don't know what they are doing, it can even be dangerous. Can you convince me that you know what you are doing and have experience with the interface? Drummingman (talk) 09:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, I've already looked into the configuration syntax of the gadget extension! If necessary, I'll just look in the MediaWiki documentation Justman10000 (talk) 09:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Drummingman There? Justman10000 (talk) 06:05, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
What coding languages do you know? Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 06:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's still all about the gadgets, so I wouldn't need any coding experience! I would mainly import scripts from other wikis, tidy up the gadgets and translate them Justman10000 (talk) 06:41, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Interface Administrator requires coding knowledge. So, for me, this is an   Oppose. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 07:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I said I didn't need it! I would only manage gadgets! And if one were finally able to give me a chance, I could prove it too... Justman10000 (talk) 07:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
So how you plan to manage gadgets without coding experience? The AP (talk) 11:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't get what one is getting at? Where do I need coding experience for this:

@Justman10000 That's just MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition and you said "mainly import scripts from other wikis,", and how do you plan to make scripts compatible to our wiki. The AP (talk) 13:53, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
No need to! Practically every script that I use here in my common.js is also compatible with this wiki! I just don't import the rest! I would possibly find more! I would test each script first, however Justman10000 (talk) 14:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Now having experience as an Iinterface admin I don’t trust him too much.@Justman1000: Now having experience as an Interface admin I don’t trust you too much. And in addition if you do not know any coding language this will be mission hard.Could you give me a mini JS script to say hello?(you should at least know this to be interface admin)DodoMan (talk) 17:37, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Apologies, but this   will not be done for the time being, due to Drummimgman's and the various IAs' discomfort. Justarandomamerican (talk) 17:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Do I actually speak Turkish? Or against a wall? Without these permissions I have nothing more to do here! Is that so difficult to understand? Justman10000 (talk) 19:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Translations into Chinese

Hi. I've been doing some translations lately and was wondering which variant of Chinese to translate to. Currently most pages are translated into regional dialects, such as zh-cn and zh-tw. What I think would be better is to translate only into zh-hans (simplified Chinese) and zh-hant (traditional Chinese) in order to reduce redundancy, as all Chinese dialects use one of the two character systems. Any thoughts? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talkcontribs) 10:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well I think you should translate into the more popular dialect The AP (talk) 12:01, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Honestly, I think that we should only do the two main variants of Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). Regional dialects complicate things.. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
