Re: List of Crashletes episodes
I intentionally removed the summary and line color parameters since it's highly unlikely to have any summaries—and I also did that with Jagger Eaton's Mega Life, Lost in the West, and Paradise Run—but if it helps avoid problems, by all means. However, what's this category thing you're talking about? Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 15:12, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's . It's not a big deal to be in a tracking category like that I guess, as a lot of them there are episode lists without summaries, but I think it's better to have those placeholders there in case someone decides to add summaries – it's just two parameters, they don't take up so much space. nyuszika7h (talk) 15:21, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll re-add them to the other mentioned articles, then, at some point today. c: Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 15:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

In regard to the ID, I just copied from Game Shakers, adjusting accordingly. What I did on Game Shakers was copied from what you did on School of Rock. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 17:18, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe I got it wrong then, I don't remember, but I've fixed it on all three articles now. nyuszika7h (talk) 17:34, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Best Friends Whenever
There are definitely other factors to renewals than just the ratings, I'm pretty sure, particularly the live ratings. (And there are also the same day ratings, the ratings from DVRs up to a week, I think, and the online ratings if episodes are available before their scheduled TV air date, which they should—or at least I hope they do—take into account.) However, it's still sad to see the ratings for season two of Best Friends Whenever considering it did very well the first season, averaging 1.84 million viewers (1,840,000). There are still at least 10 episodes, I think, that need to air that are not yet known in the second season, but in the 10 episodes we have now, that's an average of 1.21 million viewers (1,210,000), which is a 0.63 million-viewer (630,000) drop. I mean, it's still over a million, which, in all honesty, is still a lot of viewers, but it's in the low millions. I just wish I knew what Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Disney XD consider good ratings as I could then determine what's good or not for any given show. Or, to make matters more complicated, maybe it's not even based on the network, but the show. I don't know. Like, the current ratings for Jagger Eaton's Mega Life could be considered good for that show, but bad for shows like Henry Danger and Game Shakers, both of which are doing very well for their third and second seasons, respectively, if you take a look at their episode list articles. The current averages are 1.77 million viewers and 1.50 million viewers, respectively. (And even School of Rock season two is doing okay. Not great, but okay. Its average is 1.21 million viewers, but that's only three episodes in, unlike Best Friends Whenever, which is 10 episodes into its second season.) And then you have Disney XD shows—the (current) sitcoms in particular: Kirby Buckets, Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything, and Lab Rats: Elite Force—that not very often make or go above 0.50 million (or 500,000), and the only time they go over that is on special occasions, like the Lab Rats and Mighty Med crossover which garnered 1.07 million viewers (1,070,000). The only exception I can see is the original Lab Rats, which frequently had episodes with ratings above 0.50 million: List of Lab Rats episodes. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 21:09, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not sure what's up with those low ratings, many of those shows are good despite having such low ratings. nyuszika7h (talk) 15:23, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Unrelated to the above, but didn't want to start a new section.

Yeah, that's something really confusing for me. That's something would have to explain as he went through several Nickelodeon and Disney shows and changed their important to mid, so I just followed what he did. IJBall, for reference to what I'm talking about, see the history of Talk:Best Friends Whenever and Talk:List of Best Friends Whenever episodes. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 08:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, did he change the lists to Mid-importance? My understanding of the importance scale is that list articles are "only included to cover a specific part of a notable article". However, that generic wording that's not changed by most WikiProjects to suit their own criteria, seems to be under-rating television series as "Low" when they should be "Mid", but since WPTV consensus seems to be that most TV shows are "Low", it's the criteria wording that needs changing, I guess. nyuszika7h (talk) 08:48, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not too sure on the specifics, I just know he changed Nickelodeon and Disney shows to mid-importance. I think he even brought it up on someone's talk page once, though I don't remember whose. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 08:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Nyuszika7H, I didn't change the episode lists to "Mid" importance, just the TV show articles themselves. But I think it's pretty hard to argue that the TV shows themselves, at least, aren't "Mid" importance to WP:DISNEY and WP:NICK – and a few of the shows can/should probably be regarded as "High" importance. As to the episode lists, I have no opinion whether they should also be "Mid" importance, or "Low" – I'll leave that to other editors to make that call... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:29, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I never argued that they aren't at least Mid-importance for the Disney/Nick projects, just the episode lists. nyuszika7h (talk) 18:33, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand. What I'm saying is that I only did that with the TV series articles, because I don't have a strong opinion on how the episode list articles should be rated. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:40, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Problems
 * The abuse filters had a problem and caught too many edits. This has now been fixed.

Changes this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from October 25. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from October 26. It will be on all wikis from October 27 (calendar).
 * The "Search" text in the search box will show the name of the project. For example, on Wikipedia it will say "Search Wikipedia".
 * About a dozen wikis now have numerical sorting in categories. If your wiki wants numerical sorting in categories you can ask for it.
 * Some wikis that want numerical sorting in categories can also ask to use UCA to sort categories. The biggest difference is that characters with diacritics will be sorted together. For example, for most languages Ä will be sorted with A instead of at the end of the alphabet. This is not true for languages that have Ä as a character in their alphabet. Wikis that already use UCA are listed on Meta. Languages that can use UCA are listed on MediaWiki.org. You can test it.

Episode list categories
One thing I know I always mess up on when splitting articles is the categories on the episode and character lists—although I've only created two on the latter. Would you double check my created articles and make sure the categories are correct? I know you've already fixed some, but I don't remember which.

Question/request
As our friendly neighborhood template expert/Template editor, I have a question/request for you: Would it be possible to add a "TV"[/"Television"] argument to the Notability template? I just added a Notability tag to Americana (TV pilot) but was forced to use a "film" argument when what I really wanted was a "TV" argument with a link to WP:TVSERIES (which discusses the necessary notability requirements for TV series and TV pilots). Is doing this possible?!... TIA! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:13, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ You can now use or  (or lowercase works too). nyuszika7h (talk) 23:20, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome! I think I'll drop a note by WT:TV to inform the TV group... What would also be super great would be the creation of a category like "Television articles of unclear notability" based on such tagging, as I'd be the kind of editor that might occasionally peruse such a category looking for obvious WP:AfD candidates. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:23, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

A head's up...
I know you're busy these days Nyuszika7H, but I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that you should keep an eye on any article with a WP:FILMOGRAPHY table that you've improved. User:Ross Lynch Lovers (an editor I consider more disruptive than constructive, esp. in regards to Filmography tables) has a habit of undoing all the hard work that editors like you and I do on Filmography table and "fixing" them to their preferred version which doesn't even follow WP:FILMOGRAPHY (e.g. putting TV movies under 'Film' instead of under 'Television' where they belong) – they recently did that to your work on the Filmography table at Laura Marano, though I just restored your corrected version... Anyway, like I said – just a head's up in case you want to keep an eye on this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:38, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Re: The Lodge
I'm curious. What is your screen resolution? Mine is 1366 x 768 and those writers weren't wrapping for me. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 17:11, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 1600x900 here. Interestingly, adding the nowrap tags made them not wrap at all, but previously it was " James Whitehouse & Hannah[newline]George ". nyuszika7h (talk) 17:18, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Episode table
Because credits at the beginning of episodes are shown with the writer(s) first followed by the director(s), I wonder if there's a way to change the order on the table, because simply switching them around on the TV series—or list of episodes—articles doesn't seem to do anything. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 14:41, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Unless you modify the code or use Aux1 and Aux2 instead, it's not possible, but I think it's fine to have director first as is really a minor detail with no significance, and people have become used to seeing director first, even though writer is listed first in the on-screen credits for most (not all) series. It's slightly annoying when adding credits, but I just got used to filling in the writer field first. nyuszika7h (talk) 14:50, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

 * I read it first when you mentioned it, but then I forgot about it. I'm not really sure about it either. I can see their point somewhat but it doesn't hurt to have a table either, and using templates/parser functions to output something within a block of prose like that looks a bit weird. (For the record, averages are published but only for the big US networks, so not for Disney/Nickelodeon. It may be easier to notice vandalism with a single sourced average, but using that logic we should remove per-episode ratings, as editors shouldn't have to go through all episodes to ensure there are no mistakes or sneaky vandalism.) nyuszika7h (talk) 08:41, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

AWB
So I just got AWB permissions, and I was wondering if you could show me the ropes. The user manual is a little confusing, at least for me, and I would rather not mess anything up, so, like, a guide for dummies or something like that, haha! Although I guess I could always play around with it on my sandbox and the like. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 04:24, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, I pretty much just learned things by trying (there's a preview before pages are saved), I can't really link you to a guide but I can help you with things. On the left side, you can make a list from many different sources – some common ones are "Category", "Links on page", "What links here" – or specify the list of articles in a text file (use "Text file (Windows 1252 / ANSI)" if you create it with Notepad), or add them manually one by one in the box below if there aren't too many. The most common task is "Find and replace". "Normal settings" is usually fine. There you can enter specific text to find and what to replace it with. If you want to match patterns rather than static text, that's when you use regular expressions (tick "Regex"). The only other one you will usually need is "CaseSensitive", the rest of the options don't usually need to be touched. There are many guides for regex as well, I can't recommend a specific one but I can help you with it if needed. Then when you've set up what you want to do with the page, go to the "Start" tab and click "Start". Each page will be previewed before saving, as I said, and you can click "Save" if the result looks fine (and there's a "Preview" button if you're not sure based on the wikitext diff whether it will appear correctly). nyuszika7h (talk) 11:43, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Guest star credits
Is there any way that you could provide me with a list of the articles that are in my sandbox where you've fixed the directing, writing, and guest star credits? I know you've completed The Thundermans up through season three—the rest of it is obviously correct because of me, LOL!—as well as those few I asked for on Bella and the Bulldogs, but I don't know or remember what else. I'm just trying to keep track of where the guest star credits still need to be fixed—or credits in general, but guest star credits in particular. Thanks in advance!

 * I'll try, I'll have to look through my contribution history I guess. I haven't completely finished correcting for The Thundermans season 3 yet (though I've already seen even "Thundermans: Banished!"), but it looks like only one or two more don't have the full list there. nyuszika7h (talk) 09:31, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Nyu! No rush! Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 15:15, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

[sigh...] This is exactly why unconfirmed editors should not be allowed to create articles – this one was created by an editor whose only edit was creating this article! Anyway, I've PROD'ed in the meantime (though the odds aren't good that the PROD will make it – I'll probably have to AfD it in the end...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:50, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-50
<section begin="technews-2016-W50"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * Users who have Yahoo email addresses could not use Special:EmailUser to send emails. This has now been fixed. Emails will now come from a @wikimedia.org address. Users who get an email from you will still reply to your email address and be able to see it.
 * You can now see how many categories and pages there are in the categories in Special:TrackingCategories. This is to help you find pages that could need attention.
 * Markup colours for reviewed and pending revisions in the page history and recent changes and logs now match Wikimedia standard colours. The "You have a new message on your talk page" notification will have a slightly different colour.

Problems
 * Because of work on cross-wiki watchlists global renaming is not working. The plan is to turn it on again on 16 December. Global renaming was turned off for a while in late November and early December as well.

Changes this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 December. It will be on all wikis from 15 December (calendar).

 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on December 13 at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Re: The Lodge
Obviously, a second season is nice, but I find it interesting that it was renewed for a second season considering the UK ratings were even worse than US' ratings, unless that's normal there. Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 17:16, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's normal, there are less people in the UK, and The Lodge was frequently #1 on Disney, but always at least #2, IIRC. nyuszika7h (talk) 17:25, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, God, they renewed this?! I panned it (esp. the "finale") elsewhere on the net... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:18, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Aw, you don't like it? :( (I'm slowly, but surely, getting caught up on my DVRs, and the last episode I saw was Best Kept Secrets, so I haven't finished it yet.) Amaury ( talk &#124; contribs ) 21:44, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Tech News
 * Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2017.
 * The writers of the technical newsletter are asking for your opinion. Did you get the information you wanted this year? Did we miss important technical news in 2016? What kind of information was too late? Please tell us! You can write in your language. Thank you!

Recent changes
 * Administrators and translation administrators can now use Special:PageLanguage on wikis with the Translate extension. This means you can say what language a page is in. The Translate extension will use that language as the source language when you translate. Previously this was always the wiki's default language. This was usually English.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Wikis connected to Wikidata can now use the parser function  to get formatted data. You can also use   to get raw data. You can see the difference between the two statements. There are also similar new functions in Lua.

Problems
 * Some abuse filters for uploaded files have not worked as they should. We don't know exactly which filters didn't work yet. This means some files that filters should have prevented from being uploaded were uploaded to the wikis. MediaWiki.org and Testwiki have been affected since 13 October. Commons and Meta have been affected since 17 October. Other wikis have been affected since 17 November.

Changes this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg The next meeting with the VisualEditor team will be on 3 January at 20:00 (UTC). During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. See how to join.

Future changes
 * The 2016 Community Wishlist Survey is done. It decides what the Community Tech team will work on during 2017. You can see the results.
