@Thesanas, I haven't worked on this article before, so I am not sure I am the best person to help. I'd suggest reaching out to one of the regular contributors instead. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I need to promote this article to GA class. So, need to remove unreliable source and add reliable sources there. So asking your help. Thesanas (talk) 17:32, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you remember, way back in October, when you first told me about your query to find G13 eligible drafts whose last edit was by a bot? Well, I ended up forking your query (see here). I hope that was okay but I realize that I should have asked you at the time. Well, I sometimes run this query, even though it was older and didn't include some bots like CommonsDelinker. Of course, GalaxyBot is the most up-to-date and efficient tool we have. But I still sometimes run this query in between GalaxyBot reports. It used to find some G13 eligible drafts but for the past week, it's come up with 0 results with every query I've run.
Is it no longer a valid query? Do you have something that is more up-to-date that I could use when I want to run a query on my own? Thanks for all of your help with all-things-technical. LizRead!Talk!06:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz: thanks for the message. I am aware of this. Many bots, including GalaxyBot, are unable to edit due to maxlag. The relevant Phabricator ticket is T382625. Once this is resolved, it will automatically start working again. – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:18, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Restored ARWU_W on 149 pages and skipped those with empty values. It was a challenging task because all the pages had been edited after my changes, so I had to write a complex script to restore it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! More than two months ago, you recommended I use an archiving scheme for my user talk page (linked here), rather than manually deleting old or stale discussions. I was wondering if you're still open for helping me set that up, on the condition that previously deleted discussions (only available through the user talk page's edit history) can also show up in the archive. Thanks so much for your time, and cheers to a new year :-). LR.127 (talk) 17:50, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
So, I was permanently banned on a total whim this morning. You then use what I was informed is an alternative account of yours to revert every single edit I have ever made? This includes dozens of category edits, insertions of banners and other legit stuff. Could you please undo those reverts respectively. If you check them in any detail, you will find that I simply removed unsourced content and Doug Weller took great offense at this. Thank you! Lamptonian (talk) 14:19, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You actively asked whether you could help out. You then revert every single one of my edits. Next time, please take a cursory glance at the content you are reverting. Thank you! Lamptonian (talk) 15:06, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned earlier, this wasn't my decision. If you think something is wrong and edits need to be restored, feel free to bring it up in that thread. If there is agreement to restore them, I'll be happy to do so. As for the help, yes, I did assist and I am always happy to help whenever and wherever I can. If I were the one deciding to revert all the edits, I'd definitely double-check everything first, but that decision had already been made. I was just handling the technical side of things, that's all :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Alvin,
hope you are doing well.
We submitted introduction about our non-profit India Seeking Justice Forum (ISJF).
We are working in the Social Development Sector & striving for serving more and more people as change makers.
just after publishing the content we got a message regarding deletion accordance with the Wiki.
we chose to contest for it because we believe that we let people know about us on wiki too just because people love to get informed by wiki.
please help us.
waiting for hearing from you.
thanks
This might be the third time I've asked you to check my NPP School responses. No offense, but I want to know if you don't have the time for this program, I would like to de-register from it. TNM101 (chat) 13:27, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You left a note on the GalaxyBot user talk page saying that it had been fixed but I'm running this Quarry query and it still lists 131 drafts and sandboxes that it says are eligible for CSD G13 speedy deletion. So, something is off. This 30/31 day difference happens at the end of most months (except for January and July) and it's really messed up in February when we have a 3 day difference. So, is there something that needs fixing in the query or is it an issue with GalaxyBot?
