My name is Jesse. If you have questions or comments, feel free to post them below or send me an email.

I was an active editor and administrator on various wikis many years ago, but nowadays I quietly write scripts and make the occasional edit. My contributions are typically to technical development, with the occasional copyedit or new content. I am a steward for the Wikimedia Foundation, an observer of the language committee, and maintain a few scripts and bots. Historically, I was on the language committee in 2006–2011 and the Board elections committee in 2008 and 2009. I edit various wikis, but the English Wikisource and Meta are my main wikis.

Shanel is my beloved.

Stalktoy bug report

The following discussion is marked as answered (filed toolserver bug ticket). If you have a new comment, add it just below the box.

---

The pie charts on stalktoy are slightly misconfigured.

• For content projects such as Wikipedia and Wiktionary, the domain format is language-code.wikipedia.org.
• However, for chapter and community wikis, the format is country-code.wikimedia.org.

Hence:

• uk.wikimedia.org is actually Wikimedia United Kingdom (and should be classified as en or multilingual or other);
• Wikimedia Ukraine is ua.wikimedia.org instead.

See for example [1]. Deryck C. 10:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Deryck. Thanks for pointing that out; the errors are in the toolserver database, so I'll look into it and file a bug with the toolserver people this week. —Pathoschild 02:45, 04 July 2012 (UTC)

I looked into this and filed a toolserver bug ticket. —Pathoschild 19:44, 01 September 2012 (UTC)

Request for a script that allows locking accounts en masse

The following discussion is marked as answered (see feature tickets for HTTPS links, hard !gblocking, and updating the steward list). If you have a new comment, add it just below the box.

Hello Pathoschild. If you have time, interest, etc. it'd be good if a script like MediaWiki:Gadget-massblock.js / MediaWiki:Gadget-globalmassblock.js but for CentralAuth. We're getting flooded by spambots and the process of going to CA, write the name, select the box, the reason and click for sometimes more than 20 times is getting really tedious. If such a script could be created that'd be great. Regards, — MA (audiencia) 14:35, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Marco. You can do this with StewardBot by typing !lock username in IRC (it will automatically do the rest). If you have a list of accounts to lock, you can also do !withlist http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List > lock. Optionally (using the !stab command), it can block them on every wiki and notify you of any edits that haven't been reverted. The bot has configurable permissions: by default only you (the bot operator) can lock an account, and you can whitelist users who can request locks (so you just do !commit request# to execute the requests, or even !commit #:# to commit a range of requests at once).

The bot is open-source and you can run it yourself if you have python, but it hasn't been maintained recently and may need to be updated. I'll look into it this weekend. —Pathoschild 15:42, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I knew about stewardbot which is indeed a very good tool. However it seems I need IRCLib instaled to run it and each time I've tried to install it results in a complete dissaster. I'll try again and see what happens. I thank you in advance for the updates. Best regards. — MA (audiencia) 18:10, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello again. I finaly got it working but just partially because when I want to set myself on the ACCESS_OPERATOR in the DefaultSettings.py file, when I restart the bot and start __init__ again, it crashes and does not restart again. I just modified your cloak with mine, but it doesn't work anymore. I'm probably doing something bad. Regards. — MA (audiencia) 21:26, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

I spoke too soon it seems. It works for now and did tested a couple of actions with it. In the planned updates you are going to do, may I suggest to add support for https:// conection to the wiki? Also, a !gblock > address > reason > hard for global hardblocks and an update of the whitelist of users and stewards. Best regards and thank you for your help. — MA (audiencia) 21:51, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into adding those features next time I work on stewbot (I filed feature tickets for HTTPS links, hard !gblocking, and updating the steward list). —Pathoschild 19:53, 01 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your previous help about pa.wiki gadget problem. Thanks a lot. I'm thanking you in this new section as I'm unable to load your talk page till the section as it's long enough that's why I told you to archive it. Anyway, the new section was needed also as I need your more help on pa:ਵਿਕਿਮੀਡਿਆ:ਛੋਟਾ-ਸੰਦ-ਹੌਟਕੈਟ.js, that's the HotCat gadget. This is not working. I may (actually definitly) copied a wrong code or it's Punjabi name/title creating the problem? Whatever please to check and fix again. And don't forget to archive your talk page . With Thanks. --TariButtar (talk) 15:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Pathoschild. I'm the bureaucrat of the KRC WIKIPEDIA. The user Avocato recently requested renaming his accounts, but I cannot rename them. Could you help me? Thanks. --Iltever (talk) 16:55, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Iltever. You cannot rename محمد الجداوي to Avocato because Avocato is already registered. You'll first need to rename Avocato to something else (like "Avocato2") to free the name. —Pathoschild 19:58, 01 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. It seems that this tool doesn't work. I'm getting: Fatal error: Call to undefined method IP::valid() in /home/pathoschild/public_html/crossblock/index.php on line 86. micki 11:34, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi micki. That script isn't compatible with the recent Wikimedia IPv6 migration, which is why you're getting the error. I merged the script into Stalktoy and added an error. I didn't port over the block links since they don't seem to be used much; let me know if you want them back. —Pathoschild 20:10, 01 September 2012 (UTC)

Simple list of wikis per user, and maybe with local bureaucrat (y/n)

The following discussion is marked as answered (see feature ticket). If you have a new comment, add it just below the box.

---

Not sure whether it is something that may be applicable for stalktoy or not.

I am trying to generate a simple list of wikis where a user has accounts as they are asking for a rename, however, all lists, apart from mergeaccount, show other frippery. That got me to thinking whether stalktoy would be able to handle a column that could be turned on and off that showed local bureaucrats (per row) to manage moves, and otherwise stewards to undertake. From there we could point the respective users to the tool with the column turned on, and do those where we need to do so. Just thoughts. Hell, the ability to prepare two divided lists of Stewards vs Local 'crats would be helpful. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:52, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi billinghurst. It's a good idea, but I don't know when I'll have time to add that feature. I created a feature ticket to track implementation in the meantime. (The tool is open-source if anyone else wants to work on it.) —Pathoschild 20:17, 01 September 2012 (UTC)

• Talk:Requests_for_comment/Global_bans#Wikimedia_community
• User talk:SJ#Editor wiki

Hi. Sj mentioned that you might be someone I should talk with concerning this idea.

First, what do you think about it, second, what implementation pitfalls do you think we will we need to look at, and also, as someone who deals with notifications of various projects what do you think of this from that perspective as well (and of course any other things you can think of : ) - Jc37 (talk) 19:23, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jc37. It's a very interesting idea and there are precedents on other sites (e.g., meta.stackoverflow.com). However, I think closing the local namespaces would be a significant enough change that there would be a lot of resistance. As an intermediate solution, I would suggest an approach similar to Commons files: when viewing a user page you would see the local user page if it exists, else you would see the global page. For example, File:Example.png currently shows the content of commons:File:Example.png (including templates). There don't seem to be many technical hurdles, since this is already working for file pages. —Pathoschild 20:42, 02 December 2012 (UTC)

Standard bot policy on ru.wikivoyage

Hi Jesse. On Russian Wikivoyage we completed the two-week vote on the standard bot policy (four users voted, which is the our standard active population interested in the maintenance), the vote is here. I created a redirect from Wikivoyage:Bot policy, added a line on our community portal (where provisionally the requests will be handled), and updated this table. However, I can not do the rest: the Wikivoyage template shows up as red, presumably because we are the first Wikivoyage project to implement any bot policy, and also I can not add us to Global bots wikiset. Would you please complete the request. Thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:26, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Stewardbot problem

Hello Pathoschild. I've downloaded the files to run your bot recently in order to simplify some things (deletions, blocks etc.), however, it doesn't work properly and I didn't figure out the problem, although I'm quite sure I've set __config__.py rightly. Whenever I run __init__.py from the prompt command of Windows, it seems as if it's going to start, but then, if I try to type from an IRC channel for example this string !delete hello@xwiki > No longer needed, the bot just gives me back "No" (that's I'm not allowed to perform these kind of actions). Do you have any idea about it? --Frigotoni ...i'm here; 16:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

The cause is bound to be a configuration error in the wiki_names_by_level field. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 19:31, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm quite sure though that the __config__.py I compiled is alike as this one. Where's the mistake then? Or maybe have I to change something else? --Frigotoni ...i'm here; 13:30, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Frigotoni. This is a known issue with the user configuration. For now you must also update the config.irc.users_by_level setting, possibly by copying the code from the "Generated configuration" section of DefaultConfig.py. (It's autogenerated before your __config__.py settings.) —Pathoschild 03:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good now! Thank you :) --Frigotoni ...i'm here; 15:50, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

gusersearch - possible to limit the regression

Gday P/child. With gusersearch might it be possible to have an option so that it only regresses through accounts for a shorter time period? eg. a month. Many of the spambots we can see the regex patterns appear with a week or two, and anyway, if it is more than a month old, it is less likely to need to be locked anyway. I am looking to have something that is not going to time out toolserver, which is happening far too regularly. Thanks if that is possible. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:26, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

BTW I am trying to run a regex like [a-z]{4}[0-9][a-z]{3}[0-9]{2} and it becomes a dummy spit exercise for poor TS. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:29, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Or could we run the regex for a maximum time that exits gracefully before we get "Exception: SQLSTATE[70100]: <<Unknown error>>: 1317 Query execution was interrupted" — billinghurst sDrewth 13:44, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Billinghurst. I think the date ranges are a good idea. I don't have toolserver access during the holidays, but I created a tracking ticket you can watch for updates. —Pathoschild 04:18, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Stalktoy bug?

Hi there,

I noticed that stalktoy is guessing that my oldest account is eswiki, even though both my ptwiki and my eswiki accounts have been registered pre-2005, and among those:

1. ptwiki is my home wiki
2. ptwiki the one where I have the most edits
3. ptwiki is the one where the first edit is the oldest: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Waldir?dir=prev&limit=1 vs http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Waldir?dir=prev&limit=1

I undestand that per the code at lines 548-551, #1 should suffice to set ptwiki as the oldest wiki (even though I believe #3 should be used instead for this estimation). However, that's not the case. Why is that happening, and can it be fixed?

Thanks, Waldir (talk) 05:39, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Maybe stalktoy could do a better guesswork, but the real problem here is that the database field containing the registation date was populated by WMF only on the English Wikipedia: you should file a bug or (more probably) nag people around about the existing bug. --Nemo 07:30, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Wait—so there are logs? Why didn't they populate the database of the other wikis? Where's the existing bug? Are there relevant discussion pages/mailing list threads that people interested in this should consult? --Waldir (talk) 21:28, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Stalktoy should correctly choose your home wiki now; the error was caused by a minor comparison bug. —Pathoschild 03:48, 09 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm afraid not. It now says "Oldest account on en.wikipedia.org (2005-02-02 03:02)". Btw, would it be feasible to use criterion #3 above to disambiguate between two (or more) wikis without user creation logs, if none of them is the home wiki? Or is that query too resource-consuming? --Waldir (talk) 18:22, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

I think checking the latest edit would be too resource-consuming, but I'll look at tweaking the guess method this weekend. The best long-term solution would be to add the edit-based registration dates to the user tables, as Nemo mentioned; see bug #18638 and bug #22097. —Pathoschild 02:42, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Fixed. Checking the latest edit is too resource-consuming, but I improved the guess method. —Pathoschild 18:06, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Polish Wikivoyage user js files

Hi

You have created files in Wikipedysta namespace that doesn't exist in the Polish Wikivoyage. The corresponding namespace is Użytkownik. So I assume it doesn't work as intended.

Veux-tu que j'efface les pages créées par erreur et que tu relances ton bot ?-- Bertrand GRONDIN  → ^(Talk) 21:09, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Bonjour Bertrand. Merci de me rapporter l'erreur. J'ai corrigé les pages, et j'ai mis le bot en pause pendant que je cherche une manière de garantir que ça ne se reproduise plus. —Pathoschild 03:53, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

global js on closed wikis

wikt:ik:Special:RecentChanges Would it be worthwhile updating your script so that it didn't edit on closed wikis? — billinghurst sDrewth 05:34, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Billinghurst. Thanks for spotting that; the bot shouldn't edit closed wikis, but that one got through. I submitted a patch to pywikipediabot to fix this. —Pathoschild 00:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Request: Global Bots for English Wikivoyage

Hello - your name was listed as the contact for Bot_policy/Implementation#Implementation. I am a bureaucrat on English Wikivoyage, which has gone through the required steps for allowing global bots:

• voy:Wikivoyage_talk:Script_policy#Allowing_global_bots - live for over two weeks, approval from two bureaucrats and two other admins with no objection. The discussion was prominently listed on voy:Wikivoyage:Requests_for_comment#Policy to solicit feedback.
• voy:Project:Bot policy redirects to voy:Wikivoyage:Script_nominations.
• voy:Wikivoyage:Script_nominations has the required text at the top.

I did not complete the following two steps, the first because I wasn't sure what the "maintenance" column meant, and the second because I'm not a steward - I'm hopeful you can help me out with these:

• Update the list below, as well as Template:Bot_policy.
• As a steward, add the wiki to the Global bots wikiset.

Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done to enable global bots on English Wikivoyage. Thanks! -- Ryan • (talk) • 05:51, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ryan. I enabled global bots on the English Wikivoyage. :) —Pathoschild 01:05, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
