Help with deletion of articles
Hi Cyberpower678! I'm an administrator on the Faroese Wikipedia. We currently have almost 600 articles in our "Articles for deletion"-category. Do you know if there are any easy way of mass deleting all 600, or will I have to enter each article individually and click delete? $\mathbb{N}$iceley 04:40, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello, Niceley, use the Nuke extension. It's available at, fo:Special:Nuke. Alternatively, you can also use the BatchDelete extension available at fo:Special:DeleteBatch. But I believe, the latter requires the "deletebatch" flag. And FYI, Cyberpower is on a WikiBreak. --Ankit Maity «T § C» 08:54, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

XTools
Hey, Cyberpower. Is anyone maintaining the X Tools? The edit counter has been on the fritz on and off for the last month or more, and the outages seem to be growing more frequent. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:26, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I have spoke with Cyberpower678 offline, he informed me it's likely a WMF labs issue. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 18:35, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update, MusikAnimal. I though the Labs had taken over the maintenance of the edit counter some time ago.  If so, it's clearly not been a priority for them for the last couple of months.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:41, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The tools have been done all day today too. Can you communicate with Labs and alert them or give us an address we can contact?--Ipigott (talk) 15:37, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Ipigott, Cyberpower has barely been active for the last couple of months. I just pinged the other editor who is listed as maintaining the Xtools: .  Hopefully, someone will respond.

I still need to figure out what's causing it.  As for the no web service bug, xTools was running on a hack implementation of Trusty, until the bug was fixed moments ago, which apparently killed the hack.  I've restarted the new service.

The error may be related to whether the user has opted-in (using the opt-in Javascript option) or not. I was able to get basic information (with pie graph) using my username for es.wiktionary (where I was not opted in at the time) but once I activated global opt-in, using es.wiktionary started showing the same error everyone else is getting. I used another user's username and their en.wikipedia edit count data didn't show up but their en.wiktionary data did show up. Hope this helps! Bumm13 (talk) 07:58, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

C'mon, I've been nagging you about this for months now. Finals or not, I think you have a responsibility to the 100s of thousands of db requests made at this tool and finish what you started when you took on the job of porting it to the ill fated Labs (which was not your fault) and redesigning the graphic display so that we can no longer paste the results in one click to an RfA - for example... Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:08, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You may have the time, but I certainly don't. I can fix a tool whenever.  But college won't wait for me, and quite frankly, I'm not paying $30,000 per year, to blow it off on Wikipedia.  I understand you're frustrated among many others, but it's Wikipedia that got me into my RL mess, which is why I was on this Wikibreak.  Electrical Engineering study is no job for slacking.  I wish I had more time for Wikipedia, I really do, but college just won't let me.  And this Fatal Error hasn't been going on for months now, but for days.  I've had plans to expand super count, but I may kill it altogether, because I simply don't have the time.  You know. you've got me thinking of retiring now.

 * Please don't retire. Wikipedia needs you. I agree with Kudpung that you bit off more than you could chew, but that in no way deserves the extemely harsh criticism Kudpung gave you (I somewhat agreed with what you (Kudpung) said at WT:RFA, but adding more harsh stuff to that and saying it on cyber's tp is going too far). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard of times when those over tools (like you) could sit back and relax after getting the tools up the first time. You never know when you'll have to cut back on your time at WP, because we're all volunteers, and we don't get a college degree or get paid for editing or making tools. But, to ease your stress, could it be possible to have someone in charge of the counter with you? -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 21:40, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Cyber, we always used to get on pretty well together, and I'm sorry if I came over a bit harsh. Sometimes RL gets in the way of WP - with me at my age its the hospital and I have to take a very short break now and again.

 * I'm just stressed out right now. So, I'm sorry for lashing out.  Just yesterday I took the Certification exam for LABView, insanely hard, only 20% passed.  It took a lot of studying, and fortunately, I am a Certified LABView Associate Developer.  I did some digging, and I found the bug.  It was a bug that only surfaced in the month of December, where a the date handler spins on to infinity until it ran out of memory.  It's fixed, and supercount works again.  The idea of supercount was to be more than edit counter.  It was supposed to be a tool that can deeply analyze a user and provide a report, including an analysis of the users deleted edits, and many other ideas on the drawing board.  With OAuth, the report could be printed on to a wiki with the click of a button.  Sadly, time has been cruel.  The advantage of supercount is that it functions as Orain's official edit counter, and that this tool works on any non-WMF wiki.

I’ve tried to do some research into his and what I discover is that we now have not two, but three edit counters and the confusion appears to be the way they are linked to.


 * 1) this is the one that hasn’t been working for days. Most times it just does not load at all. It’s what used to be the original default counter linked to from all the official tool boxes at RfA, PERM, etc, and on the top of every use page. It’s pretty good when it works (it always worked on the ToolServer), and it provides just the right kind of basic information. The only problem is that the pie chart is now on one page and the rest is on another.
 * 2) this one is nice but it just provides far too much info for normal every day use. It’s great for someone doing some deep statistical research but it’s far more than we need for doing checks for RfA or assigning permissions or blocking someone.
 * 3) Super counter: I’m not sure now with all the talk about it, if I have indeed ever seen it.

I hope this helps. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:28, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Left a message for Hedonil on the German site, but maybe I should have come here to this section. Page views on XTools has been iffy for a while.  Sometimes it shows, sometimes it gives an error message.  My only issue has been the page views.  Right now, everything else has been taken off it and a fill-in-the-blank for page history is the only thing left.  However, filling in the blank doesn't do anything, either.

Cyberbot II is churning, churning.
The Cyberbot II bot seems to be cycling endlessly on many pages, adding and deleting and adding blacklist-link notifications. Stuartyeates first noticed this and helpfully reported it here. I thought it was only malfunctioning on the single page, but then I became curious and found it's much more widespread. For examples of what's happening, take a look at the edit histories of ...or any of the possible hundreds of other articles in Cyberbot II's edit history.

Joking aside, it's really time we got these edit counters fixed once and for all; there were never any problems when they were on the tool server. The move to labs was supposed to be a positive step forward but all we got were two disfubctional edit counters, none of which serve te purposes of those who really need them to go about their day's business, and user interfaces that are confusing and not enhancements on the old, trusted  one that loaded in a couple of seconds instead of 10 minutes (if indeed they load at all).

Cyber, happy new year and thanks for re-starting Xtools again. At your convenience, could you take a quick look at the Pageviews section of the Articleinfo tool? It's been producing blank output for quite awhile, and might have better success calling Popularpages for the graph. Thanks for your consideration. —Patrug (talk) 09:01, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Not having a dig, Cyber, but  you are the only  real  live person who  even bothers to  listen, and, unfortunately  has the programming  knowledge to  do  something  about it - or if there are others, where the heck  are they  hiding?. There a re a few other teeols that  ugently  need fixing. I've said enough  times before that  this labs tools idea was originally  the fault  of the Foundation  who  as always expects the volunteers to  clean it  up. Don't  do  it  if you  don't  want  to, Cyber, - like me you're just  an expendable  volunteer here, However, he volunteers are at  r having  agreed to  in  the first  place instead of forcing  the Foundation to  spend its surplus of funds on  its  projects such  as migration  from  Toolserver to  labs.  . I  went  down a similar route with  the Foundation   a few years ago on  an education  project they  started but  at  the end of the day I  had to  get  a team of 50 or 60 volunteers together to  repair all  the damage made by  a project  that  the WMF had squandered literally  millions of dollars on. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:26, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It's the restrictive environment labs sets. With everyone the tools have to put up with, they constantly hit that limit and shutdown through crashing.  I'm thinking of moving them to a new instance entirely, but that's complicated work.  Perhaps even beyond me, but it might just permanently fix the problem we're facing.— cyberpower <sub style="color:red;font-family:arnprior">Offline <sup style="margin-left:-6.6ex;color:red;font-family:arnprior">Happy 2015 13:36, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Then we need to find a way of lobbying  the WMF so that  they  get  things straightened out  once and for all. One of the reasons for snatching  the tools off the Germans was ostensibly  to  offer better hosting. So  finding  3rd party  solutions is not  the answer. Please email me a list of the tools that people are 1) most  omplaining  about, and 2) what you  and your collaborator(s) personally feel  to  be the most essential  tools. I'll  see what I can do. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:23, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually I meant moving it off of toollabs and to a different area of labs, where I can control my own resources. So instead of tools.wmflabs.org/xtools it would be xtools.wmflabs.org.  I'm also looking for an experienced PHP developer, or two or three or four, to recruit to add to the list of maintainers for xtools.  I'm a little picky at who I choose, because I want them to respect consensus and optin settings, not to mention be familiar with developing in PHP.
