User:DreamRimmer bot II

[edit]

Hello, DreamRimmer,

For some reason, for the 22:23 UTC hour, the bot tagged the CSD G13 drafts with CSD tags but didn't publish User:DreamRimmer bot II/Reports/G13 eligible drafts report for the hour. We've been having issues with the bot lately so I thought I'd bring this to your attention sooner, rather than later. Liz Read! Talk! 22:46, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it was just a fluke. Liz Read! Talk! 00:30, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like DreamRimmer bot II skipped the 02:23 UTC report. Just updating you. There seems to be some odd glitches every so often lately.
Secondly, I have gotten complaints from admins staffing the WP:REFUND noticeboard. They restore deleted G13 drafts and then they make a minor edit to the page so the draft won't immediately be eligible for CSD G13 speedy deletion. I've been notified three times that DreamRimmer bot II has tagged drafts that had just been restored before the admin had time to make that small edit to the draft. This seems unlikely, I know, but it has apparently happened several times. Because I have such faith in the bot's reliability, I do not, as a rule, check the log of the page history for every draft that it tags. So, these drafts were deleted, most several months ago, later restored, then tagged for deletion, I deleted them and then they have to be restored again.
One way to avoid this is, is there any chance you could program the bot to "skip" drafts that had been recently restored, say, within the past hour? I don't know if this is possible but you have gone out of your way to adapt the bot so it could take care of maintenance steps that I wouldn't have predicted it could take care of so I thought you might see this as a challenge. Let me know what you think. Liz Read! Talk! 02:45, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz: The report didn’t update in the last hour because I had paused the bot to check User talk:DreamRimmer bot II#User:SDZeroBot/Draftify Watch. It’s now running again.
I am aware of the REFUND issue and will try to fix it as soon as I get some free time. I’ve been a bit busy with real-life stuff, but I’ll try to fix it in the next couple of days. If I forget, please feel free to remind me. Sorry for the trouble :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 02:58, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The bot now ignores drafts that were restored in the past two hours. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DreamRimmer Bot question

[edit]

Have you considered the possibility of making the bot update all redirect pages' talk pages with the redirect wikiproject page or the redirect categories that they wish to use? Regards! Bgrus22 (talk) 07:50, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a backup task that originally belongs to DannyS712 bot III. It only patrols redirects and does not modify any text. I do not plan to add that functionality, but thank you for the suggestion ;) – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:46, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MassMove feedback

[edit]

Hi! Very thanks for MassMove tool! I'm trying usage this in Meta and Commons, and generally - successfully.

In Meta all ok, but in Commons my 'suppressredirect' rights was not realized (related option was not seen). Maybe this because this right is granted for me through special group 'filemover'?. But if i'm perform this action manually, this option is available for me. Kaganer (talk) 19:26, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaganer: Updated :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:10, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again!
Also link to MassMove (in the Tools pane) is not shown on any pages (in Commons). Maybe this because this link is generated without unical id (like, e.g. 't-massmove') ? Kaganer (talk) 23:47, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Will fix it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:36, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly highlight

  • Later this week, the default thumbnail size will be increased from 220px to 250px. This changes how pages are shown in all wikis and has been requested by some communities for many years, but wasn't previously possible due to technical limitations. [2]
  • File thumbnails are now stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the standard sizes (20, 40, 60, 120, 250, 330, 500, 960), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step. [3][4]

Updates for editors

  • The Wikimedia Foundation are working on a system called Edge Uniques which will enable A/B testing, help protect against Distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is so that they can more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for.
  • To improve security for users, a small percentage of logins will now require that the account owner input a one-time password emailed to their account. It is recommended that you check that the email address on your account is set correctly, and that it has been confirmed, and that you have an email set for this purpose. [5]
  • "Are you interested in taking a short survey to improve tools used for reviewing or reverting edits on your Wiki?" This question will be asked at 7 wikis starting next week, on Recent Changes and Watchlist pages. The Moderator Tools team wants to know more about activities that involve looking at new edits made to your Wikimedia project, and determining whether they adhere to your project's policies.
  • On April 15, the full Wikidata graph will no longer be supported on query.wikidata.org. After this date, scholarly articles will be available through query-scholarly.wikidata.org, while the rest of the data hosted on Wikidata will be available through the query.wikidata.org endpoint. This is part of the scheduled split of the Wikidata Graph, which was announced in September 2024. More information is available on Wikidata.
  • The latest quarterly Wikimedia Apps Newsletter is now available. It covers updates, experiments, and improvements made to the Wikipedia mobile apps.
  • Recurrent item View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: an invitation for tool maintainers to attend the Toolforge UI Community Feedback Session on April 15th; recent community metrics; and recent technical blog posts.

Chasing the Wind

[edit]

Hello DreamRimmer, I hope you're doing well. I always wanted to explore Turkish Wikipedia, so I have created the article Rüzgara Bırak. Your suggestion are appreciated. Thank you C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 05:18, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:36, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MassMessage fix request

[edit]

Hi DreamRimmer! I was wondering if you would be able to use DreamRimmer bot III to fix the delivery of the Guild of Copy Editors April 2025 Newsletter? It has erroneously added all recipients to Category:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors newsletters from 2025. Courtesy link to the MassMessage log entry, and courtesy ping to Dhtwiki, who sent the MassMessage. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:34, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:20, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:22, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies and thank you. Recently, the newsletters were categorized, but those categories weren't meant to apply to recipients. I will have to make a non-obvious-to-me-at-this-point change to prevent this happening again. Dhtwiki (talk) 05:45, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
HouseBlaster, almost-identical code (except for the year) appears on Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/December 2024; why didn't the problem arise then? Pinging Baffle gab1978 (who created the 2024 category) and Bearcat, who created the 2025 cat. All the best, Miniapolis 17:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind; I see that the categorization must be removed before sending. All the best, Miniapolis 17:13, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

April music

[edit]
story · music · places

Thank you for improving article quality in April! - My story is about music that Bach and Picander gave the world 300 years (and 19 days) ago, - listen (on the conductor's birthday) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:28, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I finally managed to upload the pics I meant for Easter, see places. - Also finally, I managed a FAC, Easter Oratorio. I wanted that on the main page for Easter Sunday, but no, twice. You are invited to join a discussion about what "On this day" means, day or date. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:49, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DraftNoCat script

[edit]

Hello, I noticed you disabled the category Pending template and disambiguation AfC submissions from an AfC draft using your DraftNoCat script, and was wondering if that was intentional. The category is meant for submissions in draftspace and since WP:DRAFTNOCAT doesn't apply to apply to non-content categories, so would it be possible for the script to exclude that and any other pending AfC categories? Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk) 21:18, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sophisticatedevening: My apologies, that was unintentional. These tracking categories are usually added via templates and do not appear as visible text. I will update the script to ignore them. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:35, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2025-17

Updates for editors

  • Wikifunctions is now integrated with Dagbani Wikipedia since April 15. It is the first project that will be able to call functions from Wikifunctions and integrate them in articles. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of a stable and global function, rather than via a local template. [6]
  • A new type of lint error has been created: Empty headings (documentation). The Linter extension's purpose is to identify wikitext patterns that must or can be fixed in pages and provide some guidance about what the problems are with those patterns and how to fix them. [7]
  • Recurrent item View all 37 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Following its publication on HuggingFace, the "Structured Contents" dataset, developed by Wikimedia Enterprise, is now also available on Kaggle. This Beta initiative is focused on making Wikimedia data more machine-readable for high-volume reusers. They are releasing this beta version in a location that open dataset communities already use, in order to seek feedback, to help improve the product for a future wider release. You can read more about the overall Structured Contents project, and about the first release that's freely usable.
  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings and events

  • The Editing and Machine Learning Teams invite interested volunteers to a video meeting to discuss Peacock check, which is the latest Edit check that will detect "peacock" or "overly-promotional" or "non-neutral" language whilst an editor is typing. Editors who work with newcomers, or help to fix this kind of writing, or are interested in how we use artificial intelligence in our projects are encouraged to attend. The meeting will be on April 28, 2025 at 18:00–19:00 UTC and hosted on Zoom.
