Talk to me — if you have questions or comments, feel free to post them below or send me an email. If you saw me edit on your wiki, it was probably related to the synchbot service (which maintains global user pages for others) or interface editor (which lets me maintain my user scripts).

About me — my name is Jesse. Nowadays I quietly write scripts, make the occasional edit, and love Shanel. Many moons ago I was an active editor and administrator on several wikis, a Wikimedia steward (2006–2014), a language committee member (2006–2011), an email response volunteer (2006–2011), and a Board elections committee member (2008 and 2009).

Account eligibility tool[edit]

@Pathoschild: Account eligibility tool at https://meta.toolforge.org/accounteligibility/70 is hanging and not responding. Sario528 (talk) 22:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! This seems to be a filesystem issue on Toolforge so far; I'll post a message in #wikimedia-cloud to see if they have an idea what's causing it. —Pathoschild 05:48, 09 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, it was a filesystem issue. It's fixed now; thanks for reporting it! —Pathoschild 15:23, 09 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Account Eligibility for the U4C Elections[edit]

Hello Pathoschild! Thanks kindly for your help in January getting the tool set up for the U4C Charter vote. There's an election vote coming up in mid-April for that committee, and it would be wonderful to have the tool set up for that. Here's the eligibility information, if you have time :) (I'm not sure if the tool can query translatewiki.net for the "Translators" rules, it's fine if not) Patrick Earley (WMF) (talk) 16:37, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Translatewiki doesn't seem to be available in the Toolforge data, but Account Eligibility can mention the translator exception in the "additional requirements that can't be checked by this script" section.
The voter rules seem clear, but a few questions to clarify the candidate rules:
  • Does "Have not been blocked on any Wikimedia project" mean they're not currently blocked on any wiki, or does it include previous blocks which are no longer in effect?
  • Does "nor have an active event ban in the past one year" refer to the event ban policy?
  • For "Be a registered member of at least one Wiki project for at least 365 days and have a minimum of 500 edits", can this be accumulated across multiple wikis? For example, let's say they have a two-year-old account on Wiki A with 200 edits, and a six-month-old account on Wiki B with 300 edits. Would they qualify based on the Wiki A age and Wiki A+B edits?
