Download required
Should I mark in web cite that pdf requires download in order to open it? How I can achieve this? How I can provide navigation on the folders and files and that zip archive need to be unpacked? User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 22:36, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The point of a citation is to identify the source where you found information. That does not usually require detailed instructions. --User:Izno|Izno (User talk:Izno|talk) 23:42, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
 * re|Izno Link instantly gives you option to download zip file and nothing more. Should I use header as a title directly from expected file? There should be instruction in which file information is included. User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 23:50, 24 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Example link would be helpful.
 * What I would do: point citation url to a web (directory) page from where the document (file) can be downloaded (if it's possible; use at/others citation field to point a location of specific file and cited pages), or to direct link of a file (if there's no page/directory). If it's an archive (with more than one subdirectory), give an inside path to a file (with ex. page number) in at/others.
 * If you wondering (only) what to put in title, use title from the pdf. --User:MarMi wiki|MarMi wiki (User talk:MarMi wiki|talk) 00:04, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * re|MarMi wiki You need to unpack it and then get to the folder basshunter_bio and basshunter_2014.pdf file. User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 00:08, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I would do it something like this: url=http://www.extensivelab.com/press/, title=Basshunter: Bio (or title/header from inside the pdf), at=(Basshunter: Bio - if title/header is from the pdf) (in )directory/file.pdf(, pp. pages - if needed) --User:MarMi wiki|MarMi wiki (User talk:MarMi wiki|talk) 00:25, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Is it just my small screen resolution, or their main page (http://www.extensivelab.com/) have no links? --User:MarMi wiki|MarMi wiki (User talk:MarMi wiki|talk) 00:28, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * re|MarMi wiki Main page has no links. User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 00:32, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That's a bad web design (or subpages aren't meant for public use). And I don't think it's their official site (or at least not anymore - ). --User:MarMi wiki|MarMi wiki (User talk:MarMi wiki|talk) 00:52, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * re|MarMi wiki It's their site for press. It is linked from extensivemusic.com or somewhere on their social media pages. User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 08:07, 25 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Woooooaaaahhh. In no way, ever, should we be requiring a user to unpack an unknown ZIP file to read a citation.  I've removed it, an alternative will need to be found. User_talk:Black Kite|Black Kite (talk) 00:14, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * re|Black Kite We are talking about Extensive Music official site. Link to archived version (Wayback Machine) may be added. User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 00:19, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter where it comes from, you can't link to a ZIP file. There is surely a citation for that sentence that isn't in that format, somewhere - archive version or elsewhere. User_talk:Black Kite|Black Kite (talk) 00:42, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Archived version gives you the same instant link to download but from Wayback Machine. User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 00:52, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

“you can't link to a ZIP file” I dont see why not. Did you know that word documents are also zip files? —User:TheDJ|Th e DJ (User talk:TheDJ|talk • Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs) 10:19, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

created timestamp
I created Template:Did you know nominations/151 North Franklin with its first published edit at 03:30, 25 December 2018. However, the scripts that I am running show "Created by TonyTheTiger (talk | contribs) on Mon, Dec 24 2018, 21:30:50 (Central Standard Time)" at the top of the page. I never noticed that this was shown in local time instead of UTC. How can I get this script to make my page show UTC times? 03:40, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * first check your timezone in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering - if you want UTC times but have set this to something else change that. If that isn't it, can you provide more information about "the scripts" you are using? 04:09, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * User:TonyTheTiger/vector.js imports User:Eizzen/PageCreator.js. User:Eizzen/PageCreator says how to choose between local time and UTC, but UTC is supposed to be default and it doesn't work to set it with the specified method. I think User:Eizzen/PageCreator.js should change  to  . . User:Eizzen|User:Eizzen has not edited since 2017. User:PrimeHunter|PrimeHunter (User talk:PrimeHunter|talk) 11:45, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * u|PrimeHunter, Thx. How can we get this change enacted? Does u|Eizzen have exclusive powers?-User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger (User talk:TonyTheTiger|T / Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:21, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Archive urls
Why bot added in Basshunter|this article archive urls to websites that are avaiable? For example swedishcharts.com. User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter (User talk:Eurohunter|talk) 08:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Script to revert last 1 edit?
Can someone quickly hack together a script to revert the last edit on a page, precisely? It would be useful for script writers and testers to quickly revert their test edit on a page. Of course, neither MW rollback nor Twinkle rollback is useful since those would revert all edits by the last editor, and the built-in undo is too slow and requires a lot of clicks.
