Invitation to Berlin hackathon

Hi! Do you think you can come to this year's Berlin Wikimedia developers' event? Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 19:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

I got smth. important on June 1 which I can't guarantee that it's movable... furthermore I don't fancy traveling though half Germany alone. But it would still be great to meet with the other developers/ admins/ ... from all around Wikimedia/ MediaWiki, so if I find a way, I'll attend - Hoo man (talk) 22:25, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I understand if you can't make it -- but if you can, that would be great. And maybe another participant will be coming from your region and you can travel together. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 01:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Your bot on Esperanto Wikipedia

Hi, just to know your bot can add template softredirect ({{Softredirect|target}}) in pages of Esperanto Wikipedia. It's more simple ! Ĉiuĵaŭde (talk) 23:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Well, as the bot usually runs on many wikis and as it always uses the same text, it can't use text that relies on any templates, because many small wikis don't even have the very basic templates. Because of that the users need to subst them here on meta and use that code, that's not a perfect solution, but it at least works on all wikis ;) - Hoo man (talk) 23:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Slight problem with Sledge Hammer

I found a problem with one of your scripts. From User:Hoo man/sledgeHammer.js:

mw.loader.load('http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Hoo_man/functions.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

This shouldn't have "http:", as that makes HTTPS connections untrusted because it loads a non-https resource. --Krenair ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:05, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

 Done - Hoo man (talk) 17:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank for supporting Telugu Wikipedia.

I have seen your monitoring and reverting of vandalism on Telugu Wikipedia. Appreciate your support.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 22:48, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome - Hoo man (talk) 17:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Question

On wikt:id: there is a problem with insecure content: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Monobook-bullet.png is used instead of the secure variant. The problem is that I can not find its source. The local wikt:id:MediaWiki:common.css imports styles from w:id: MediaWiki:common.css but there I see only a secure link https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Monobook-bullet.png . Can you look into this? Ruslik (talk) 16:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

The problem was caused within the idwiki common.css which gets imported on idwikt, so I had to fix that (diff). As side effect I also fixed idwiki with that edit, so thanks for letting me know - Hoo man (talk) 17:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

You also fixed several other wikis, which import the same sheet. I still do not understand how 'https' turned into 'http'? By the way I found and an interesting stript at wikt:si:MediaWiki:Common.js. Ruslik (talk) 18:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
