Welcome to Meta!

Hello, Ainz Ooal Gown/Archives. Welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum if you need help with something (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). Happy editing!

Ccommons files vs Meta files

Please do not transfer meta files to Commons, just because. Commons requires files to have an educational value, and some files are just pertinent to a local discussion at Commons, not more broadly relevant. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:27, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Global watchlist - Update 1

Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:

General announcements

Management has migrated to phabricator; to report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task with the script's tag
Message translation has been reduced; for common messages that are already translated in mediawiki core, the system translations are used, in order to reduce duplication of efforts

Recent additions

New pages are shown at the start of a site's feed
Log entries are shown at the end of a site's feed
Basic validation has been added to user settings, applied before saving
Site validation has also been added; a site (excluding unique projects like wikidata, meta, commons, etc.) is considered to be valid if it is the form of "language.project", where both the language code and project name are valid. It does not, however, check that the actual site is valid; only that it could be. In other words, even though sco.wiktionary refers to a site that doesn't exist, it is considered valid, because sco is a valid language code (sco.wikipedia is a working site) and wiktionary is a valid project.

Announcements

BREAKING CHANGE: Backwards compatibility supporting the use of sites as *.*.org (like 'en.wikipedia.org' or 'meta.wikimedia.org'), deprecated in version 1.7.5, will be removed soon; all sites should now be saved as *.* (like 'de.wikinews' or 'fr.wikisource')
BREAKING CHANGE: Storing user sites as window.GlobalWatchlistSites, deprecated in version version 1.11.11, will be removed soon; all settings should be stored in the window.GlobalWatchlistConfig object
Both of these breaking changes will be implemented alongside version 4.0; until then, any use of the config page (m:Special:BlankPage/GlobalWatchlistConfig) will result in saving settings in the newest format

Next release

Version 4.0 should be released in around a week. It will include the new features mentioned above, as well as removal of backwards compatibility for settings and sites.

I've sent this first message to users that participated in the discussion at m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Watchlists/Revive Crosswatch tool or otherwise shown interest in the script. To subscribe or unsubscribe from future updates, see the distribution list.

Global watchlist - Update 2

Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:

General notes

To report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task on Phabricator with the script's tag

Recent additions

Site validation has been tightened. Previously, only the language code and project name had to be valid - now, they must be a valid combination (i.e. en.wikiversity exists, and so is valid, but sco.wikiversity is not valid, because no such wiki exists).
When the global watchlist feed is loading, an OOUI widget will be shown, rather than an animated gif.
An option has been added to no longer group edits to the same page. For now, this isn't very useful, since metadata for the edits (editor, summary, tags, etc.) are not yet shown, but they will be soon. Until then, ungrouped edits are treated the same as pages with only 1 edit - the minor and bot flags are displayed if applicable. If edits are grouped, the minor and bot flags are only shown if they apply to all of the edits.

Upcoming changes

Starting with version 5.0, there will be an option at the settings page to switch to and from a "stable" version of the script. When activated, the script import in your global.js should be replaced, and then the page refreshed with the new script loaded. The stable script will live at User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/stable.js, and will be updated with each full release. Otherwise, it shouldn't be edited, providing a version that is less prone to bugs as the script is developed.

Announcements

WARNING: Starting with version 5.1, the option to mark the pages of a site as seen be implemented using the entirewatchlist API option, rather than manually listing the titles. This is being done to simplify the implementation code. This will result in the same functionality as marking all pages as seen via Special:Watchlist (i.e. even if the page isn't visible due to your filter choices, it will still be marked as seen). If you would like to keep using the current method for a while, please switch to the stable branch.

Next release

Version 5.0 has just gone live. It includes the new features mentioned above.

SWViewer/config.json

Hi Masum,

Thanks for your help with SWViewer, much appreciated - translations is just what it needs. One thing though.. name is for us to read, y'know, the SWMT. It is not seen on the local project. You have translated the name parameter, which is great for local editors using SWViewer, but now SWMT members cannot fight vandalism on this wiki without knowing bn. For the short term, can you please change this to English until there is more clear consensus to handle these situations? I see some projects will slash it (i.e. "Spam/স্প্যাম") while others will have english buttons AND local language buttons. ~riley (talk) 02:12, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Revert

Dear user:Masumrezarock100,

I have reverted your recent contribution as the page creation was not vandalism. Thank you for understanding. --Tiven2240 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:42, 14 November 2019 (UTC).

@Tiven2240: Ah, thanks. I was reverting mass vandalism by an LTA. They had created massive amount of vandalism pages and I was tagging them for deletion and I got a little sloppy and tagged that page for deletion. I meant to revert that IP's edits. Masum Reza^☎ 19:02, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Yup observing. Thanks for the cleanup. :)--Tiven2240 (talk) 19:04, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Reverting

Hi, in future when there is an active vandal, don't revert war with them as you did at User_talk:159.146.14.71. It's also useless to give warning of all of their page deletions. If there is an active vandal just wait until some admin comes and block them. Thanks. Stryn (talk) 19:03, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, I have enabled those warnings in SWViewer and it automatically sends them. Thanks for deleting those pages by the way. Masum Reza^☎ 19:05, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

You are responsible for all of your edits regardless of whether it was semi-automated or not. Vermont (talk) 23:19, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I am aware. I will disable warnings for such vandals. Hopefully they stopped now. Masum Reza^☎ 08:10, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Global watchlist - Update 3

Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:

Survey

I am investigating adding more context to each entry that is shown (such as the edit summaries, tags, patrol marks, the user who made the edit, etc.). Is there any desire for such additions? If so, what should be added first, and what is a low priority? Please leave feedback on the relevant phabricator task, phab:T238300.

Recent additions

Site validation has been overhauled. Rather than hard-coding a list of valid sites, users will be able to watch any site where they have an attached local user account. If a site is rejected as invalid, please ensure that there is indeed a local account attached to your global account.
Users will now be alerted regarding the results of attempting to update their settings.
Live updates have been added - when activated, the script will refresh in the background, and then load the new feed, every 7.5 seconds. In the future, this frequency may be configurable.
OOUI icons have been added to most buttons.
There is now an option to eliminate the confirmation dialog when marking all sites as seen.

Announcements

WARNING: Starting with version 6.1, site aliases currently used when saving settings will be removed, and only sites in the form of `lang.project` will be accepted.
As noted in the last update, marking a site as seen now uses entirewatchlist, which means that any changes to watched pages between when the watchlist was loaded and when the site was "marked as seen" may be ignored.

Next release

Version 6.0 was just finalized for the development and stable branches of the script.

Deleted pages

Hello. I don't think that you need to give a notification to those translation vandals about their pages being deleted. Matiia (talk) 01:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Global watchlist - Update 4

Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:

Recent additions

A new "fast" mode has been introduced. When used, the watchlist serves as just a list of pages that have been modified, and no longer includes context about the edits themselves.
More information has been added to entries. When edits are not grouped by page, or when there is only 1 edit to a page, minor and bot flags are shown, as well as the user who made the edit, the summary used, and any tags that were applied. When multiple entries are grouped, bot and minor flags are only shown if all of the grouped edits were made by bots or where marked as minor. If only 1 user edited the page, that user's name is still shown, but no summaries or tags are included.
All watchlists are now fetched in parallel, rather than in series, greatly reducing load time.

Technical notes

Most of the source code is now annotated with jsdoc notes, allowing others to more clearly understand and review the code.
I will be looking into creating guidelines to let others contribute to the script; see phab:T238298.

Translations

There is now proper qqq documentation for translations. Translation takes place at m:User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/Translate, and help is appreciated.
Newly translated messages are added to the script when I notice them; if you have translated messages that aren't showing up, please let me know at m:User talk:DannyS712.

Next release

Version 7.0 was just finalized for the development and stable branches of the script.

Reversion of 3 editions

Hi Masumrezarock100. I saw that you reverted 2 of my edits. I just changed the code to match the original in English. As it stands, pages do not link to the appropriate links. Check it later to make sure I don't do something wrong.

Sincerely, Simon Delabie ^{blá-blá-blá} 16:00, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

@Delabie: hi, thanks for reaching out. I reverted your edits because they were breaking the translation. Please note Mediawiki treats pages all texts between "{{" and "}}" as templates. Also texts between "[[" "]]" are treated as wiki links. Your edit replaced "[[" with "{{" resulting in breaking the output. Please see w:en:H:WT to learn about Wikimarkup. Happy holidays! Masum Reza^📞 17:37, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Re your ping

Hi, replying here instead of replying at SRG. The large chunk of removed log details from c:Special:Logs/thanks belongs to this guy and the thanks spam team. Similar accounts were locked by Ruslik yesterday (those locked between 05:06, 27 December 2019 and 05:09, 27 December 2019) as GRP. Minorax (talk) 02:11, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

@Minorax: Oh I didn't know those logs were deleted. About those other accounts that were locked by Ruslik0, they are not GRP. It was actually w:en:WP:Wikinger impersonating GRP. GRP does sends spam thanks but his usually targets one account each time. He doesn't spam it around so much. Ruslik0 misunderstood. We had a chat about it on IRC with Bsadowski1, ~riley and Vermont. Vermont said, [REDACTED]

Bsadowski1 said that only two of those accounts that got locked yesterday were GRP. Masum Reza^📞 04:24, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Read en:WP:WIKINGER and realized that he likes to copy other LTAs. Thanks :) Minorax (talk) 04:46, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Please do not edit my talk page

I have been reasonably clear to you, and now I am being specific. Stop having revert wars with vandals.

Please do not edit or revert my talk page. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:42, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
