Steward Elections Tool

Hi Erwin,

I can see that the Steward election statistics tool was created by you. Please could you update it calculate votes for Steward Elections 2012? The votes will not start until February 8th but I thought it best to ask you in advance, and votes pages will be in the format Stewards/Elections 2012/Votes/Username as opposed to Stewards/elections 2011/votes/Username, so I imagine you might need to tweak the script slightly.

Thanks,

Sure, please let me know when the pages are up, so I can make and test the modifications. --Erwin 10:53, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey Erwin, they are up. We got our first candidate! You can update that page now I think. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 17:58, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

I updated the tool to use the new pages. Sorting doesn't work yet. If anyone knows how to use the tablesorter please be bold and fix it. :) --Erwin 21:30, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Willy Weazley is on that page, but he is disqualified and removed from the main table. Why he is still showing up? Can you fix that please? — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 20:28, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Bump on the above request please - now that the elections have started please can you remove Willy from the table? Thanks, The Helpful One 01:01, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh never mind, a purge fixed it. :) The Helpful One 01:01, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

(I fixed the sorting and removed Willy yesterday.) —Pathoschild 02:46:19, 09 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I was already wondering who'd fixed those. What did you have to do to fix the sorting? --Erwin 08:17, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Welcome. :) The tool was using MediaWiki's custom version of jquery.tablesorter, which depends on MediaWiki-specific variables. I replaced it with the version and styles used by stalktoy. —Pathoschild 16:18:45, 09 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Erwin. Tanvir asked me to remove another disqualified candidate, so I changed the script to check the template's status parameter. Candidates with a status other than blank or "yes" will be ignored henceforth. —Pathoschild 03:24:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi!

Could you update the code of this tool so that the links are protocol relative? Helder 15:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. --Erwin 21:57, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikify tool

Hi Erwin, your tool http://toolserver.org/~erwin85/randomarticle.php?lang=en&family=wikipedia&categories=Articles%20that%20need%20to%20be%20wikified&subcats=1&d=10 doesn't work right now. Just thought i'd notify you after it was reported here. Cheers, benzband (wikipedian) 18:40, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Fixed. Currently there's a problem with one of the database servers in the toolserver cluster and that caused the errors.

(Technical details: sql-s4 is faulty, but not completely useless, so it's not down according to the status file. Therefore my tools try to get a replication lag from sql-s4, but that fails and breaks further processing. I've turned off determining the replication lag to work around that.) --Erwin 22:31, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

That's completely over my head, but thanks for the quick fix. :) Nolelover 01:58, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
