MediaWiki:Gadget-markAdmins-data.json

Good day. Are you interested in maintaining this with your bot so humans don't have to edit it every time a right is change or has expired. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 09:38, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Happy to do so, but would others not prefer a human to update this config? My bot does not have the permission to edit the MediaWiki namespace, and it would need admin rights to do so. – DreamRimmer ■ 09:58, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Ah, forgot about the namespace issue. Alternatively, your bot can just place the updated code within its own userspace and an admin would just have to copy & paste the chunk over without finding specific usernames to add/remove. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 10:44, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

The best way to fix this would be for the gadget to use the bot’s userspace JSON file instead of the MediaWiki page, so no manual updates would be needed. The only question is whether the community is comfortable with letting a bot handle this. – DreamRimmer ■ 10:50, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Let me create a discussion at RfH --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 10:53, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Any progress so far? Dragoniez made a good point regarding server efficiency; I would support granting sysopship to the bot. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 02:12, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

I have not had time to work on the code. I will finish it in a few days and file a bot request. – DreamRimmer ■ 10:31, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

bewwikt once more

Hi, I just want to mention that previous updates to MediaWiki pages still have some bugs preventing changes that have been agreed upon by the community to fully take place (mostly for mobile views). In addition, I have also renamed various classes for consistency across templates in bewwikt, which renders some parts of the CSS/JS obsolete. So once again, I ask for your help to update wikt:bew:MediaWiki:Common.css with the version here, and wikt:bew:MediaWiki:Common.js with the version here. Thank you! — swarabakti^💬 13:52, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

@Swarabakti: Done. – DreamRimmer ■ 15:29, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Special:Diff/29721493

Was it a bug in DR or a human error? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 11:39, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

From a quick look it appears to be my oversight, but I will check whether it has anything to do with DR. – DreamRimmer ■ 13:12, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Tracking categories in GSwikis

Found your edit, please advise how to tell if any categories are tracking even when empty. I normally leave those alone if having interwikis.TunnelESON (talk) 23:08, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

On most small wikis, tracking categories are often empty and usually do not have interwiki links, so using a translator or an LLM to understand their titles is generally the most effective approach. – DreamRimmer ■ 07:34, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Why did you withdraw the immediate deletion request?

Why did you withdraw the immediate deletion of Category:Wikimedia Foundation/ryu?

In my opinion, the translations in this category have only been edited by FuzzyBot and are not actual translations. In fact, the page header states, “Translation is 0% complete.” Based on this, I believe this page has not been translated.

I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts on this. ℍ𝕕𝕚𝕒𝕝𝕜 ^{(𝕥𝕒𝕝𝕜)} 05:24, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

I have already deleted the translation you tagged. See log – DreamRimmer ■ 05:28, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank DreamRimmer.

That was my mistake.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. ℍ𝕕𝕚𝕒𝕝𝕜 ^{(𝕥𝕒𝕝𝕜)} 09:03, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

ADMINSTATS

The User rights modifications statistics are skewed, since global changes are also counted. Could you fix that, please? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 01:17, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

This is intentional. – DreamRimmer ■ 01:23, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Assistance in marking a page for translation

Greetings, I recently tagged a page for translation. Can you kindly assist me mark it up for translation. See page link here Thanks for your promot assistance Sayvhior^Talk 01:26, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

I do not have the required permissions to mark pages for translation on Commons Wiki. You will need to contact a local translation administrator for this. – DreamRimmer ■ 01:31, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Fine. I guess I have to try contacting a local translation admin in that case. Thanks for your reply Sayvhior^Talk 06:02, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Cascading protection on Talk:Spam_blacklist

Hi DreamRimmer; I'm unable to create a new blacklisting request at Talk:Spam_blacklist; when I try to edit, I'm getting the "This page is transcluded in multiple cascade-protected pages, so only administrators can edit it" banner. I'm guessing a template was recently protected that shouldn't have been? Ohnoitsjamie (talk) 22:02, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

@Ohnoitsjamie: This was my fault. Log pages are cascade-protected, and they transclude {{Spam blacklist log instructions}}. I recently edited it to use {{REVISIONID:Talk:Spam blacklist}}, which is in effect a transclusion. I reverted the change. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 22:15, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Template:Adminstats

Good day. Is it possible to add a new stat for translationadmin actions? The commons version has this line. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 13:36, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Sure, please give me five minutes. – DreamRimmer ■ 14:05, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Done – DreamRimmer ■ 14:17, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Alex Harrison page in Minangkabau Wikipedia

Hello! I noticed you haven't deleted Alex Harrison's article on the Minangkabau Wikipedia. Did you forget about the page, or do you have a specific reason for not deleting it? 𝄃𝄃𝄂Badak𝄂𝄀𝄁𝄃 🕭 03:48, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
