 * unfortunately, I know very little about indian politics, and I am aware that it is a very contentious area, so I'd prefer to avoid making potentially controversial edits. Sorry. But, your edit request will be answered by another editor. Sorry, --DannyS712 (talk) 14:03, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.17


Hello ,


 * News
 * The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.


 * Discussions of interest
 * Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
 * db-blankdraft was merged into G13 (Discussion)
 * A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
 * There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.


 * Reminders
 * NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD  because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.


 * NPP Tools Report
 * Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
 * copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
 * The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Thanks for closing the MfD
Thanks, Danny -- I realised I had never actually closed an MfD, and was still casting around for the instructions! Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:44, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem. I used User:Evad37/XFDcloser, which makes it really easy to close almost any XfD --DannyS712 (talk) 02:01, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I became aware of Evad's closer during his recent RfA, but I have a long-standing aversion to using any automated tools -- especially around deletion discussions -- to force me to slow down and contemplate my actions. There again, I'm not sure deleting a portal with two non-stub category members needs much contemplation... Espresso Addict (talk) 02:05, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * in that case, there is an option to select "no automated actions" and not have the script carry out the result, but just close the discussion. --DannyS712 (talk) 08:00, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

A goat for you!
Thank you for your review of Dragon Crew.

Libertyguy (talk) 03:40, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * no problem. Thanks for creating the redirect --DannyS712 (talk) 07:59, 16 March 2019 (UTC)



"Deprecate"
Hi, thanks again for closing two more RfCs at the reliable sources noticeboard. For the National Enquirer RfC, would you mind changing the word depreciate to deprecate, which is the term currently being used at Deprecated sources and the perennial sources list? It's a minor change that would make it easier to quote your closing summary elsewhere. —  Newslinger  talk   07:44, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem, and ✅ --DannyS712 (talk) 07:48, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

WikiProject Quantum portals
This was a spin-off from WikiProject Portals, for the purpose of developing zero-page portals (portals generated on-the-screen at the push of a button, with no stored pages).

It has been merged back into WikiProject Portals. In the MfD the vote was "demote". See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Quantum portals.

Hiatus on mass creation of Portals
At WP:VPR, mass creation of Portals using semi-automated tools has been put on hold until clearer community consensus is established.

See Village pump (proposals).

The Transhumanist banned from creating new portals for 3 months
See Administrators' noticeboard.

Until next issue...

Leonardo da Vinci's birth date issue"
Reliable source is the certified Wikipedia article itself, it is clearly mentioned in the first sentence of his biography that the date is "OLD STYLE" which is the Julian Calender. I urge to change his birth date to 23 April, which is the Gregorian conversion of the Julian date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Debaditya2000 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. Also, this should probably be discussed at Talk:Leonardo da Vinci instead of here. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 19:46, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-12
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week
 * When you use rollback you will be able to get a confirmation prompt on most wikis. It asks you if you wanted to do the rollback. This is to avoid misclicks. You will have to opt in to get it. On German Wikipedia it will be an opt-out feature from 28 March.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 March. It will be on all wikis from 21 March (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Admins will be able to block someone from editing a page or a namespace. This already works on a few Wikimedia wikis. You can read more. If your wiki wants to be an early tester of this, you can tell the developers.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Toolforge will shut down the Ubuntu Trusty job grid. This will happen the week of 25 March. Tools that use this grid needs to be moved to the new Debian Stretch job grid. If they haven't, they will be taken offline. Maintainers can restart the tools later. Users may not be able to use them in the meanwhile. You can see a list of affected tools.

Help with script for Galician wiki
Hi DannyS712, I'm happy that you could help us. The idea is that when a user patrolling articles finds a short article, he needs to add the template to the article, "curto de máis", and it could be useful that this action sends an automatic message to the user who created the article warning him about that issue in it's article. I thought that this could be implemented adding a new menu option to the tool's box of user, but other implementations could work fine too. Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 00:59, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * it should be pretty straight forward, but I want to check a few things. To add the template, but  at the start of the page, before other content, right? Second, what is the message you want to use as the warning? Finally, what namespace should it work in? --DannyS712 (talk) 01:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, the template should be added to the start of the page. About the message, it could be some like "Boas, o artigo, que creaches ti, ten o marcador de curto de máis, a ver se podes amplialo un pouco máis. Saúdos, ". Bye, --Elisardojm (talk) 08:18, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * And what should the section heading be on the user talk page? --DannyS712 (talk) 08:20, 19 March 2019 (UTC)


 * See working alpha version at - I suggest you make an account on that beta-wiki to try it out. --DannyS712 (talk) 22:22, 21 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Could it be the name of article? I made the account at beta-wiki, how can I install the script? Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 23:35, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean be the name of article. I added a note on your talk page there about how to start the script. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:38, 21 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I have tested it and works well, but I noticed an issue. The message added to the user is saved at his user page, and it should be at his talk page. You can view it here.
 * At last comment I said that the section heading in the talk page could be the where is inserted the template "curto de máis"?. Saúdos, Elisardojm (talk) 00:14, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ x2 - both should be taken care of. Let me know if there are any other issues before I format it for publishing on your wiki. --DannyS712 (talk) 00:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Great! I think that now it works fine! :) Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 01:06, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Wait - I'm still formatting it. Is this going to be a gadget or just a user script? --DannyS712 (talk) 01:21, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * What do you mean with "gadget"? A tool to add to "user preferences"? Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 07:48, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * yes, that's exactly what I mean. Is this a gadget to add in user preferences, or a script for users to individually import? --DannyS712 (talk) 07:50, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know what could be the best option, I think that it should be more easy to use to add it to "user preferences", isn't it? Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 08:02, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * yes, it probably would be. Let me finish it up, and I'll ping you in a few days. --DannyS712 (talk) 08:05, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok! Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 08:54, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Its almost ready to deploy, I just need a few more answers from you. Currently, the local customization is set up in . I think I put the template and message you asked for, but can you test the script a few times and let me know what section heading you want for the user talk page, as well as what edit summaries you want for both? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 03:54, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks great! The comments: The edit summary at the article the tool saves "Tag - Galician (v 1.7)", it could be changed to "Marcado como curto de máis usando link_to_help_page_of_the_tool (Galician v 1.7)". The edit summary at the user page edition the tool saves "Note about Name_of_page, a page you created - Galician (v 1.7)", it could be changed to "Aviso de artigo curto de máis en Name_of_page, usando link_to_help_page_of_the_tool (Galician v 1.7)". Another change should be the name of tab, "galician" should be changed to something like "A. Curto" or other name for the tool. And what will be the name for the tool? Galician is the language, no seems a good name for a tool...Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 10:50, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ I think. I called it galician to keep track of what the script was for (for me). I renamed it to "tag". What do you think of the current version? --DannyS712 (talk) 19:26, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

It looks fine! I only noticed a little issue, at it should be an space between name of article and word "usando", it looks "Mariousando" at example, but it should be " Mario, usando". Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 09:54, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Fixed, I think. Anything else before I do the final formatting for transfer? --DannyS712 (talk) 01:55, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it's ok now, great! :) Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 11:53, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * okay. Couple last things:
 * There is a "help page" link in each edit summary - what page would you like it to link to, and what text would you like displayed
 * What is the name of the page you will put the script's code in (the local definition of the script)? This should be in the MediaWiki namespace, and will only be editable by interface administrators
 * There is a separate "configurations" page for the settings - what is the name of the page you would like to use? (I recommend it be in the MediaWiki namespace, so that only administrators can edit it)
 * What description would you like to have in the gadgets menu for this tool?
 * Would you like me to help install it on your wiki, or would you like to do so yourself?
 * Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 23:29, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I answer your questions below:
 * The help page could be at gl.wiki at Marcador de artigos curtos, I will explain there how to install and use the tool
 * The script's code could be at MediaWiki:Gadget-Marcadorcurtos.js
 * The config file could be at MediaWiki:Gadget-Marcadorcurtos.json
 * The description could be "Marcador de artigos curtos: Engade unha nova lapela para inserir o marcador "Curto de máis" e avisa automaticamente ó creador do artigo".
 * If you tell me what files I have to copy and where, I think that I could do it myself. Bye, --Elisardojm (talk) 07:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

the steps are, I believe: This should work, but I haven't tested it (obviously). I suggest creating the help page first so that it shows up as a blue link from the start - it takes a while for the script to realize :(. Please link to me on the help page, both for credit and so I get pinged and can test it. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 04:25, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Create the help page
 * 2) Create MediaWiki:Gadget-Marcadorcurtos.json with a copy of https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-tag.json
 * 3) Create MediaWiki:Gadget-Marcadorcurtos.js with a copy of https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-tag.js (no need to change anything, but for now it doesn't work on the beta cluster because I already changed it for your wiki
 * 4) Go to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition, and add
 * 5) Go to MediaWiki:Gadget-Marcadorcurtos and add the description you gave in step 4


 * Hi, I had made the changes and I tested it at, it worked fine, I only detected a little issue, in the edit summary there is a link to User:DannyS712/Tag.js , I think that it could be changed to "Wikipedia:Marcador de artigos curtos", and delete the repeated link... Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 21:28, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * the "tag" is used so that it links to the script itself (the page on enwiki, where I will store the script) and so I would like to keep the link. Its like the "TW" in a summary linking to twinkle, or this edit's summary linking to the script I use. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 21:44, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah!, ok, then..., can I announce it at cafe? :) Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 23:47, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * absolutely. Please ping me when you do, as I would like to archive this conversation then. I'll add a note about the script to my userpage there. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:53, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey, the tool is announced here. Thank you very much for your help!! :) (Ah, I made a little modify at configuration file to add the template preceded by "subst", it was a litle thing that I forgot to tell you.) Bye, --Elisardojm (talk) 09:17, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * no problem. The  thing was a good idea, and I'm glad the script meets your expectations. If you or your wiki ever needs another script, just let me know. --DannyS712 (talk) 09:33, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Great! :D Elisardojm (talk) 09:40, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

EFFP Script not Responding?
Hey,

I've been trying to respond to reports via the script for a couple days, but when I click "Done" nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, EggRoll97 (talk) 07:48, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Nope - I've been having the same issue. I'll try to look into it when I have time - I still need to learn how the code for it works, but it'll be at least a week before I get a chance. Sorry --DannyS712 (talk) 07:48, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Not a big problem, I can still manually copy and paste the response templates. Thanks! EggRoll97 (talk) 07:57, 19 March 2019 (UTC)


 * (Saw the request for help on WT:User scripts) Works for me, in Firefox 66.0.2. I've skimmed the code a bit. Are you waiting until the DOM is ready before starting? If not, that could be one cause of intermittent problems. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 00:00, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It doesn't work for me though. About the DOM thing - I have no idea? Any suggested fix is greatly appreciated --DannyS712 (talk) 00:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * See https://api.jquery.com/ready/. I would suggest a patch, but this version should have worked already. Did it? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 00:11, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * the problems cropped up after I did that, so I assumed that was part of the cause. I'll try it again later. For one thing, the current version works fine in my sandbox, but not the real page, so I don't think that caused it... --DannyS712 (talk) 00:13, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Your BRFA (22)
Hello DannyS712, your recent BRFA (Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 22) has been approved. Best regards, — xaosflux  Talk 14:15, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey - it seems like it'd be a good idea to remove Template:PBB Summary and the other templates discussed for deletion at the same time, since they are transcluded on the same pages and also have ~4000 transclusions. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:27, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * sorry, I didn't see this until I finished 22. I've added a new brfa (WP:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 23) - maybe speedy approval? --DannyS712 (talk) 19:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the bot should have a shutoff; by default AWB stops if the talk page of the bot is edited; surely there's a way to configure another page as the shutoff? Galobtter (pingó mió) 19:23, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I was using AWB - as far as I can tell its talk page wasn't edited --DannyS712 (talk) 19:24, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * NVM, I misunderstood how AWB's talk page shutoff worked. Galobtter (pingó mió) 19:28, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I've refiled #23 and conducted a semi-trial using my main account and checking each edit beforehand (not being a MEATBOT) - if it can get approved soon I should have time to remove the PBB Summary template in the next few days. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:44, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You've pinged me, but I'm not a WP:BAG so I can't approve it or anything. Galobtter (pingó mió) 07:39, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

For the trial, I ran it from individual categories, but it would be more efficient to run them all at once. I pinged TheSandDoctor asking about that, but they hadn't answered.

Slow down please
Hi DannyS712, you are overloading Bots/Requests for approval. I've removed your last 2 requests from the process list (Tasks 23 and 24). You already have 4 tasks in active trials, and mentioned you don't have time to work on. We don't have a "hard limit" at BRFA, but you've got too many active requests in general. Please work though the tasks you have in flight before asking for more reviews. That being said, if you have ideas for more tasks, feel free to write up your subpages but hold off on adding them in. A good rule of thumb would be to limit to 3 or 4 active BRFA's at once (note: I've left eight running), I really don't want go down the "rule making" process on this. If you would like to withdraw tasks that you have started but aren't going to work on, that is also OK to make room for the things you have time for. Best regards, — xaosflux  Talk 20:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * sure, sorry. I didn't realize how much work I was creating. I have labeled for myself 23 and 24 "on hold", and will re-transclude them when I have fewer open tasks. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:18, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Would it be okay to restore them now? Those 2 are pretty straightforward, while the 2 I currently have in trial are much harder - I need to code the clerk task, and don't really have time for that, and the see-also bot will probably need to wait until I can get a task 25 approved to edit categories from my bot account to avoid situations like below. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 07:42, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You have 3 other requests that haven't even begun trials yet, and 8 total active of the "3 or 4 active" I recommended above, so no you should hold off. If you don't want to work on some, you certainly can withdraw and present again at a later time. —  xaosflux  Talk 11:37, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Sorry
Hi Danny, in case you got the ping at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dimpletisha, I wasn't implicating you as a pernicious editor. I was only pointing out that the suspect used your signature, which made it look like they were trying to trick someone into doing them a favor. If that caused you any agitation or worry, please forgive me. I should have been more clear in my write-up. Sorry, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That didn't cause me any agitation in-and-of itself (in fact, you never actually pinged me). Thanks for the note though - it was interesting to read about my ~involvement~ in the case. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:22, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Please slow down, again
Edits like this and this are the typical edits that need to be done from a bot account. As I watch many of the pages, it's quite intrusive. I would gently advise you to please slow down and do that large scale edit from your bot account, though I think there's even a bot that does that kind of work. – Ammarpad (talk) 20:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * See WP:MEATBOT for the full run-down, fyi. ——  SerialNumber  54129  20:21, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I am familiar with the bot policy in general, and also with MEATBOT, which states: Human editors are expected to pay attention to the edits they make, and ensure that they do not sacrifice quality in the pursuit of speed or quantity. For the purpose of dispute resolution, it is irrelevant whether high-speed or large-scale edits that are contrary to consensus or cause errors an attentive human would not make are actually being performed by a bot, by a human assisted by a script, or even by a human without any programmatic assistance. No matter the method, the disruptive editing must stop or the user may end up blocked. Note that merely editing quickly, particularly for a short time, is not by itself disruptive.
 * I do not believe that I have sacrificed quality in the pursuit of speed or quality, nor made high-speed or large-scale edits that are contrary to consensus or cause errors. That being said, I understand Ammarpad's point about watchlists, and will act accordingly when conducting such large-scale edits. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:20, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I know you will; the operative word is disruption. Bots, after all, can be blocked from watchlists—you can't be. It is good that you will be most mindful. Have a good weekend, ——  SerialNumber  54129  21:29, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * On meta I could just ask for a flooder flag... too bad that doesn't exist on enwiki. Anyway, again, sorry. Enjoy your weekend --DannyS712 (talk) 21:31, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Cydebot is down, and I wanted to help with the backlog at WP:CFD/W. I'll look into getting a bot task approved for manual changes like that using cat-a-lot if I ever intend to do it in the future. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:18, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Would you be interested in a script to easily copy the permanent link to the current (or, eventually, the viewed) revision?

 * Hi. Well, actually I wouldn't use that oldid thing much. I do copy paste perm link to paste into the edit summary when I copy paste content verbatim from one article to another. But I used all that oldid stuff when doing mergers etc. and don't do that much nowadays. But thanks anyhow. What you made is totally fantastic, and suits me fine.

NAC, CfD closings
Hello, DannyS712,

I was surprised to see in your contributions that you removed a category from many pages in response to closing a CfD. Are you familiar with NAC closings in CfD? Have you looked over Categories for discussion/Administrator instructions particularly the use of the Categories for discussion/Working page? Because you shouldn't be doing manual changes in response to closing a CfD and typically, NAC closures are only for no consensus or keep decisions and not for decisions that are complicated by previous CfD decisions. Liz Read! Talk! 02:45, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I am intimately familiar with the procedure for closing CfDs, and having been working to successfully do NACs for all types of CfD closes (see Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion). The admin instructions say If you are an administrator, list it under the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working. Include the link to the CFD day page above the listing. (If you are a non-admin, you will not be able to use the /Working page as it is protected, so do not close discussions that require any of the above 3 actions unless you are prepared to implement them manually, or an admin has agreed to help you. To request deletion of a category manually emptied by a non-admin, tag the page with, e.g. .) I only removed the categories manually on some since Cydebot isn't working - see this thread above. --DannyS712 (talk) 11:20, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-13
 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
 * The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version.

Problems
 * There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed.
 * The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon.
 * Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 March. It will be on all wikis from 28 March (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 27 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Template editing
I expect to see, in about 6 months, a TE flag request with your name on it :P - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 18:20, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * yes. I was considering asking for one earlier than that (per the discussions at Template talk:Infobox SCOTUS case and User talk:Alex 21) - do you think that would be wise? Or would I just be shooting myself in the foot... --DannyS712 (talk) 18:22, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Well I think you've proved yourself, as a matter of fact, your the only editor I will action those types of edit requests for, I trust your knowledge. I would also support your receiving the flag.

Responding to Damon J. Smith Articles for Deletion Page
Hi Danny S712, I would like to know why you think the page I created and have maintained for many years Damon J. Smith should be deleted? I undid another user's request to delete because I suspect he is attempting to vandalize my work. He is a new user with no prior contribs, and he only just created the account after another user who had previously attempted to delete the page mysteriously disappeared. This user accused me of being an alias of Damon J. Smith, which is untrue. I would be happy to Skype just to verify my identity! I have maintained the Damon J. Smith page on Wikipedia for many years and have spent a lot of effort compiling media references as I've followed his career. I'm sure we can find quite a few less deserving biographies on Wikipedia to clean up. Why is mine such a target now? I appreciate everyone's efforts to maintain the integrity of Wikipedia, and I am happy to make revisions to the page if there are unwarranted entries, but deleting the page is quite a draconian measure. Taryndejesus (talk) 23:38, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I reverted your edit because the AfD notice must remain on the page until the AfD is over. I take no position on if it should be deleted or not. While yes, that user hasn't edited other page, that doesn't allow you to remove the notice. At the start of this month, they tagged the page for deletion, and no one objected within a week, so it was deleted. After you requested that it be restored, they then created a discussion about if it should be deleted. You should participate in the discussion, but shouldn't remove the AfD notice. Sorry, --DannyS712 (talk) 23:43, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

DannyS712 Thank you for your prompt response. OK so that makes sense, I misunderstood the process. So how long does AfD take? It wasn't very clear where the discussion takes place or when it considered complete. I did not see that the page was tagged for deletion at the beginning of the month (for some reason I did not receive notification), so I didn't find out anything was wrong until I happened to log in the other day and found it was deleted. I'd never had that happen before, so I wasn't sure how to join the discussion. But just now I edited the discussion page and posted a comment - hopefully I did that properly - and hopefully this will be remedied soon. Again, I appreciate your response and helping me better understand the process. Taryndejesus (talk) 00:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem. It usually takes about a week. Also, generally users bold their !votes is such discussions. --DannyS712 (talk) 00:05, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

DannyS712Sorry to be a pest, but what does it mean to bold my !votes? Do I bold my entire response, or do I need to add a header of some sort to distinguish it in the discussion? Thank you again for your help.Taryndejesus (talk) 00:24, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing you want to keep the page, so write  (Keep) and then explain why. You don't have to though --DannyS712 (talk) 00:25, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

DannyS712 - ah got it! Thank you Taryndejesus (talk) 00:32, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

That thread
Regarding this. I'm really not sure what that thread is about any more, but ignoring it does seem the most constructive general strategy. I just felt it prudent to inject a link to WP:MEATBOT since proponents of large scale semi-automated editing professed ignorance of it in the face of assertions that some significant proportion of those edits were low quality (anecdotally, I haven't seen any such edits and the assertions have not so far been backed up by diffs; but if it's actually the case it would best be addressed sooner than later). Actual bot edits are, IMO, highly unlikely to be the source of any such issues (because BRFA tends to weed out bots that, for whatever reason, can't perform their tasks to a fairly high level of accuracy). If there are actually any significant issue with such edits, they will be by a human editor running the shortdesc helper user script, or some ad hoc AWB-type rules, and not paying enough attention. --Xover (talk) 23:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I haven't been paying attention to it either, but I saw your note about MEATBOT addition of short descriptions and wanted to point out that non-meat bot tasks (mine) have been approved to add them. I agree that they should be added, and agree that MEATBOTs shouldn't blindly import them from wikidata, but have little idea what the specific discussion was about. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:03, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Assessment and tagging
The WikiProject Civil Rights Movement was established early last year. The project needs to assess and tag existing articles on Wikipedia. That task would be greatly aided by a bot that could provide a prospective list of such articles to the project to green light if the entries look good. That bot would be comparable to User:InceptionBot (see WikiProject Civil Rights Movement/New articles), but instead of new articles, drafts, or categories the bot would assess old stuff. Mitchumch (talk) 05:28, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * are there categories that the pages are in? Or another way to easily locate them for tagging? --DannyS712 (talk) 05:37, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No. The method of finding them would be similar to InceptionBot which employs rules to locate prospective pages.  See the ruleset User:AlexNewArtBot/CivilRightsMovement as an example. This ruleset allows the bot to survey pages with these terms and provides a score for prospective pages.  See the log User:InceptionBot/NewPageSearch/CivilRightsMovement/log for an example of a scored page. Mitchumch (talk) 06:00, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * so that would probably require scanning a Database download, which I don't really know how to do or have the space on my computer for. But, if someone else scans it and gets a list of pages, I can go through and tag them with the wikiproject's template (assuming a bot run is approved) --DannyS712 (talk) 06:02, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't want to place that burden on you. There are bots at Category:Autoassessment bots and Category:WikiProject tagging bots that may be able to help me.  I was hoping I could get some help in finding and setting up one of the bots. This is too new for me, so I thought I would seek out help. Mitchumch (talk) 06:20, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I have one of the tagging bots - I'm happy to tag if you have a way of telling me what to tag. Either way, good luck - if you need my bot's services, let me know --DannyS712 (talk) 06:34, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I've transferred my request to Bot requests based on the recommendation of User:Redrose64. The criteria the project will use are keywords present in pages, not categories. A good starter list of keywords are present in User:AlexNewArtBot/CivilRightsMovement. Mitchumch (talk) 16:33, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Well I wish you luck there --DannyS712 (talk) 01:54, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Your BRFA (17)
Hello, your recent BRFA (Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 17) has been approved. Please see closing notes. Best regards, — xaosflux  Talk 13:57, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much, --DannyS712 (talk) 17:17, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, here are few wild ideas and thoughts!

 * First of all, I want to thank you for all the work you are doing around scripts, and I really loved the idea of script newsletter!
 * I had one idea, that I want to take this newsletter to Marathi wikipedia and popularize use of scripts on mrwiki in itself. - So, what are your thoughts on that and how you think we/I can do that. (Even after cutting lot of the content which is specifically meant for enwiki, we have enough things to take to the local wikis.)
 * Probably a Indic-wiki newsletter would be an good idea?  any thoughts on this?   QueerEcofeminist "cite! even if you fight"!!! [they/them/their] 07:37, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to try to help. If there are any scripts that you would like to have adapted, I can give it a try (I'm currently doing one for the galician wikipedia) - what scripts were you thinking of? --DannyS712 (talk) 18:31, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , My first try is take this newsletter to mrwiki. how we can do that? ones we take it there, then we can see what community wants to localized.  QueerEcofeminist "cite! even if you fight"!!! [they/them/their] 18:35, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * well, if you want me to just get you a list of scripts that I think could be easily adapted, you could translate the descriptions and then send out a message. As for the newsletter coming out on a regular basis, if you are okay with receiving it in english I can look into it. --DannyS712 (talk) 19:58, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

&lt;noinclude>
When you tag for deletion a page which is transcluded, you must always bracket the speedy tag with. Your failure to do this in the case of portal:Shia Islam/On this day/Jumada al-awwal/1 resulted in portal:Shia Islam/On this day/Jumada al-awwal and portal:Shia Islam/On this day both being spuriously dragged into CAT:CSD.

But in the case of portal pages do not apply any speedy tags even with appropriate bracketing without the approval of UnitedStatesian - see this thread. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:47, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll remember that for the future. But, can I ask why G7 doesn't apply to portals? Some of the pages were blanked back in 2018 and 2017 (I think), which I don't think is related to the current portal discussion. Anyway, I'll just stay away from portals to be on the safe side. --DannyS712 (talk) 18:52, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, there are a number of redirects in the portal namespace that redirect to deleted pages and themselves have to transclusions - I won't tag them, but you might want to take a look at User:AnomieBOT III/Broken redirects. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 19:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Normally I would accept author request (G7) speedy tags but, as I have already told you, I was requested to restore these 60 or so pages which I had deleted - in many cases as G7s. I am confused which is why I recommended you to avoid this area. And as for the AnomieBOT III list, I note that many of these broken redirects arise as a result of moves done by UnitedStatesian! I hope he will show up here and explain himself. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * oh, okay. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:47, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, was busted moves on my part. I've cleaned up my mess and retargeted the redirects.  UnitedStatesian (talk) 10:43, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem. --DannyS712 (talk) 17:13, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

AWB question
Hey Danny, would you happen to know/have code ready for how I can re-order an article's infobox parameters per template doc order and also use correct space between parameter name and "=" in AWB? I have a template I need to remove unused and also replace deprecated parameters, so while at it, I'd like to clean them up. I know how to remove and rename, but not how to re-order with correct spaces. Is this something you can help me with? --Gonnym (talk) 17:44, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If you can give me an example edit, I ~might~ be able to figure it out, but it would probably require a lot of regex find-and-replace statements or a custom module. Sorry, I'm not much of a help. --DannyS712 (talk) 18:53, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Treehouse of Horror VII, see in preview that some parameters are deprecated and one should be removed, and the infobox itself isn't tidy or has the parameters in order. --Gonnym (talk) 19:09, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * personally I don't think the order is as important - that would be a completely cosmetic edit. I also don't know how to implement it, sorry --DannyS712 (talk) 20:38, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Cosmetic edits don't matter if they are done with any other real edit, which was why I asked, but thanks anyways Danny. --Gonnym (talk) 20:42, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem. Maybe try WT:AWB? --DannyS712 (talk) 21:47, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Userboxes
See this Teahouse post. Can you provide me with further assistance with this please? Mstrojny (talk) 00:01, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * yes, I can. --DannyS712 (talk) 00:22, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ see my post on the teahouse --DannyS712 (talk) 04:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * There is one more error on the userboxes you recently created me. I have convinced to use the userbox. See his user page. It says  This user has been on Wikipedia for 1 years on Earth.. It should say  This user has been on Wikipedia for 1 year on Earth. with year being singular. Mstrojny (talk) 20:36, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * for now I changed it to 'year(s)' - actually detecting if its 1 would require using the same code as before, which would cause it to take longer to load. I'll look into it --DannyS712 (talk) 20:39, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Bot mistake(?)
Your bot changed a category (Category:Users who served in the Great April Fools' Day Edit War) to a link on this page: User:InvalidOS/Userboxes/AprilFoolsEditWar, assuming it was a draft and should not have categories per WP:USERNOCAT. The page is a userbox that has been used on other users' user pages, and the category is in  tags. I'm not entirely sure if this is the fault of an error in the bot, however, as I did notice that the category was not a subcategory of Category:Wikipedians when the edit was made. InvalidOS talk  13:00, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: I'm not sure if Category:Wikipedians actually matters here. The bot probably thought that Category:Users who served in the Great April Fools' Day Edit War was a polluted category. I have no idea why. InvalidOS  talk  13:08, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * no, its because the page is in Category:April Fools' Day, which is a polluted category, and so it edited your page. I don't screen for include only or noincludes, etc, because people can mess those up; instead, if the bot edits the page, it links every category that it can. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll keep an eye on it in the future --DannyS712 (talk) 16:04, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Bypassing tl?
Is this really needed? My understanding was that the script chocked on the blurbs having those, but not the article itself. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:56, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * my worry is that it may not work as an interwiki link... better safe than sorry, right? --DannyS712 (talk) 03:57, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Meaning... like if it's read on meta or something? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:01, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * or other language projects - templates don't work cross-site, and if its just substituted it won't change the link target, whereas (I believe) the script automatically fixes the targets for normal links. --DannyS712 (talk) 04:09, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * see mw:Extension:Interwiki - Enabling transclusion is rarely done, as it allows an article on one wiki to use templates from some other wiki. This is referred to as 'scary transclusion' as it will cause problems if the other wiki changes the template unexpectedly. --DannyS712 (talk) 04:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that affect all such template use? Because tl is used quite a bit in the Signpost, I'm pretty sure. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:16, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I mean, lets ask script guru to share their thoughts :) - Evad, is it okay to use tl in signpost pieces? --DannyS712 (talk) 04:17, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Having tl and similar templates in the content of the article isn't a problem - it's only the title, blurb, and rss description that may be problematic (they're the parts that get reused outside enwiki). - Evad37 &#91;talk] 12:30, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * good to know. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 17:16, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Script request
Would it be possible to create a script for the Vector skin that adds "View source" tab next to the edit tabs even when the user has edit privileges on a page? My reason for wanting this script is that if I leave an edit page with unpublished changes, the editor saves my changes when I come back. While this can be useful, it only saves the last changes I made and undo (ctrl Z) doesn't work if I need it. With a script like this, I will be able to copy old code onto my new edit. Thanks - ZLEA  T \ C 13:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's something I can implement - the "view source" vs "edit" is a core part of mediawiki. Sorry, --DannyS712 (talk) 17:19, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * A script that does this on the Monobook skin already exists at User:Misza13/viewSource.js. - ZLEA  T \ C 17:34, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh. I'll look into it when I have time - I agree that such a script would be useful. --DannyS712 (talk) 17:42, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I just tried it with that script (in Monobook) and it was the same as clicking "edit"... --DannyS712 (talk) 22:00, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Strange, when I tried it in Monobook it worked (but that was over a year ago). Thanks anyway. -  ZLEA  T \ C 02:01, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * no problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help --DannyS712 (talk) 02:10, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Y'all are using the 2017 wikitext editor. I don't understand the appeal ... the page just jumped twice as I was typing this. But I don't want to get into religion... The 2017 editor links look like, while that script is looking for  . AFAIK the 2017 edit doesn't have a view source option, but   should always load the old editor regardless of the users's preferences. From there, it should be possible to disable the edit form or submit button. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:22, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm forking it now... --DannyS712 (talk) 02:25, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Wait a minute, I just tried it and it doesn't even work with the old editor ... ... Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:26, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Okay this seems to work (in monobook):  You may also want to do something about the global namespace pollution while you're there. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:48, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll investigate later. I hadn't thought of setting it to be readOnly, that makes it simpler. --DannyS712 (talk) 03:02, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Or, since you figured it out, I can just leave this to you, since I never use monobook. --DannyS712 (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll try something tomorrow (US). Remind me if I don't. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:09, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ^^^ --DannyS712 (talk) 06:40, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping. Haven't forgotten. It's almost finished; I just got carried away trying to make it work with every skin/editor combo and hide all the useless toolbars. Just need to try it in another browser and then I'll be done. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:50, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Just making sure you haven't forgotten... --DannyS712 (talk) 02:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes. Had. Thank you. Does User:Suffusion of Yellow/viewsource.js work for you? There should be a "View source" link under the "more" menu in Vector, which will take you to the old-style wikitext editor with all the buttons missing, and the textarea uneditable.

 * In Special:Preferences under "Appearance" → "Advanced options", there is now an option to show a confirmation prompt when clicking on a rollback link.
 * The Wikimedia Foundation's Community health initiative plans to design and build a new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Please see meta:Community health initiative/User reporting system consultation 2019 to provide your input on this idea.

Arbitration
 * The Arbitration Committee clarified that the General 1RR prohibition for Palestine-Israel articles may only be enforced on pages with the ARBPIA 1RR editnotice edit notice.

Miscellaneous
 * Two more administrator accounts were compromised. Evidence has shown that these attacks, like previous incidents, were due to reusing a password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. All admins are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication, please consider doing so. Please always practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.
 * As a reminder, according to WP:NOQUORUM, administrators looking to close or relist an AfD should evaluate a nomination that has received few or no comments as if it were a proposed deletion (PROD) prior to determining whether it should be relisted.

George Clinton picture
I hope that this is the correct way to get a message to you. The image of George Clinton on his Wikipedia page was taken by me personally. I don't know how to confirm that fact on Wikipedia. It was taken prior to a Parliament-Funkadelic concert in Augusta, Georgia in April of 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groovemaneuvers (talk • contribs) 23:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming this is about File:George4.jpg. I suggest reviewing Image use policy - if this is your "own work", and you are willing to license it properly (see Image use policy), then I think you just add a template to the page that says so. If you need to prove your ownership of the image, you should probably use WP:OTRS to maintain your privacy. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:14, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

April 11th, 2019
There is a disclaimer on the George Clinton page regarding the picture that I inserted into the page. It says that I have to prove copyright ownership of the picture or else it will be deleted. I don't know the first thing about confirming copyright ownership. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Woot Woot
It is done!! Hmmm after chipping away at it for a few weeks I'm gonna have to find other things to do - HeeHee. Thanks for expediting things and have a nice week. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 23:11, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * oh, it was you that was working on it? I was wondering why the bot skipped a bunch of pages - you must have fixed them between when I made the list and when the bot processed the page. Anyway, thanks for your help, and I'm glad to have been of service. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:15, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You are welcome as well. Yeah I would remove a few of the templates every time I was caught up on other things. Cheers. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 23:19, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * so having a bot do this made it a lot easier, right? My thinking is, if a bot is needed to process large orphaning / substituting, please ping me and I'll file BRFAs (like if the transclusion is >500 or something). Eventually, it might make sense for a standing approval for TfD results, assuming the TfD was closed properly. Thoughts? --DannyS712 (talk) 00:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Absolutely a bot is the way to go for templates with as many transclusions as this one had. When I started helping with these a year or so ago there was another editor who would get a bot going but I have forgotten who that was. As I have no experience with BRFAs it will be great to be able to come to you for the necessary work. A standing approval is another good idea. Thanks for the suggestions. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 00:50, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, given my recent streak of BRFA results, I'm not going to file a standing request for a rival. But, if there are individual TfDs that would benefit from a bot run, please let me know. --DannyS712 (talk) 00:52, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Will do :-) MarnetteD&#124;Talk 00:56, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Your BRFA (25)
Hello, your recent BRFA (Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 25) has been approved. Please see closing notes. Best regards, — xaosflux  Talk 11:39, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-15
<section begin="technews-2019-W15"/> 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
 * More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can read more.
 * Admins on French and Polish Wikipedia can block someone from editing a page or a namespace. If your wiki wants to get these blocks before they are available to all wikis, you can tell the developers.

Problems
 * You will be able read but not edit most wikis for 30 minutes on 11 April at 05:00 (UTC). This is because of a hardware problem. You can see a list of the affected wikis.
 * A map update caused some problems on 29 March and 30 March. It was rolled back.
 * Pages on some Wikivoyages had problems with the top headline. This has been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * When you add an edit summary the VisualEditor will search your recent edit summaries in case you want to re-use one. This works in both the visual and wikitext modes on desktop. It also works on the mobile site.
 * The Wikimedia wikis will get a URL shortener. This will work from 11 April. You can read more.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The  magic word will no longer work. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it will return   (empty string). When you read a page it will return   (dash). For now this will only affect content namespaces.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot (4/9/19)
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Redirect tagging
There's no need to manually tag broken redirects as G8; will delete them automatically. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 23:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I tag them when AnomieBOT doesn't delete them automatically by watching User:AnomieBOT III/Broken redirects. While AnomieBOT will process them eventually, I don't see a harm in tagging them (once I check the history to ensure that they should indeed be tagged). --DannyS712 (talk) 23:53, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Since you were kind enough
To help with the mass tagging of criminals, here are a few more that could benefit from some mass tagging:
 * Category:History images - under rationale that "all images are history images a nanosecond after they are created. It's one thing to categorize images by specific historical events (like Category:Images of the American Civil War), it's another to just call them images of history. " Not all of the subcategories are bad, should I give you a list here?
 * the categories I described at Wikipedia_talk:Categories_for_discussion/Archive_16 a while back
 * a simple split discussion with many affected subcategories at Wikipedia_talk:Categories_for_discussion/Archive_15. Simple rationale: "We have separate articles for riot and civil disorder, and so we should have separate categories. Not all riots are civil disorders, and vice versa. Possibly copy further arguments from my post there? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  06:58, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * once I get the bot task fully approved, I'll totally look into those. --DannyS712 (talk) 07:02, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Btw, in the meantime I started Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_April_10. It has 2-3 subcats, in the hindsight maybe I should've waited? It's just that multi-cat nominations seem such a pain without some sort of a tool... --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:11, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Given how few subcats it has, it would probably by easier for you to just tag them yourself --DannyS712 (talk) 07:15, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Done, I hope correctly. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:52, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * you didn't tag Category:Editors of Catholic publications, was that intentional? Also, you should list all the categories that are being discussed, not just the main one. --DannyS712 (talk) 04:54, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I need a third mass tagging to finish the trial. What do you suggest? I don't really understand the first point above, but the second one (rename XXX encyclopedias to XXX-language encyclopedias, and vice verse) should be doable. --DannyS712 (talk) 01:16, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Category:History images is probably not a good example here, since it is a major mess and probably just needs a CfD discussion. Some of its subcategories are valid, but some should be deleted. I'll try to write something up for it. For a trial, the encyclopedias should be easier. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:42, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Should I do the entire category tree of Category:Books by language? Of its parent category? To what extent do you want to "up the tree"? It might be easier to just do the Category:Encyclopedias by language, and see what people think about a larger scale CfD. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:09, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Yep, let's just do encyclopedias, and if it is not controversial, we can do the wider category if inconsistencies persist. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:29, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks for some of your scripts, which I'm now using. BTW, User:DannyS712/Readonly.js typos "view" as "veiw". It also utters (unnecessarily?) "User:FR30799386/readonly.js says : localStorage found!😊" to the console. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 11:50, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd like to say thanks too. However, I've found that the script does not work if I use the User:Cacycle/wikEd script (activated under Gadgets in Preferences) or the "new wikitext mode" beta preference. Otherwise it works great, thanks. -  ZLEA  T \ C 13:10, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I had to abandon WikEd because of the bug where it adds and removes blank lines on its own, sometimes breaking things in the process. I see it's been mentioned again this month on the Talk page. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 13:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, that script wasn't mine - I forked it after FR30799386 was blocked. I have updated the code to say DannyS712 instead, and have fix the typo. I think there is a minor benefit to keeping the logging, but I'll see if I can make a debug mode that, when off, doesn't log. --DannyS712 (talk) 17:03, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Chowkidar Chor Hai
Hi Danny, can you explain your reliasting rationale. the Support side have no valid justification and simply based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT type of reasoning. Moreover since the beginning of the Rename request, a WP:CFORK has been created at the target location making this rename request redundant. I would ask you to either close this RM or let another admin handle this closure or relist if he deems fit. I have already listed it at WP:ANRFC so someone will take a look soon. regards. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  04:59, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey. I saw it at ANRFC, and reading through the RM I felt that there was not yet consensus either way. That's why I relisted it. Even weighing the supports less, there still isn't a clear consensus against moving, and a no consensus close would (I believe) just lead to another RM soom, based on my reading of the situation. Does that make sense? --DannyS712 (talk) 05:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I was expecting a more detailed reasoning. No this is not a no consensus situation. Consensus is not a headcount. I have also referred to the AfD thread where the notability has been unanimously agreed upon. Since the CFORK has now been created the Rename discussion is redundant and easy to close. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  05:47, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that consensus is not a head count, but re-reading through the RM, I respectfully disagree that it should be closed now. Going back further to the AfD you referred to, Winged Blades of Godric commented I, though, need to think about whether this slogan or Main Bhi Chowkidar is apt for the title. - I know that wasn't a comment as part of the RM, and I hadn't considered it until composing this reply, but I think this shows that a serious debate about the title can be had, even if the notability is agreed upon. I don't intend to close this RM, but if forced to now I would close it as no consensus. There isn't enough support for it to move, but there isn't a clear consensus against moving it either. I'm sorry we disagree about this, and I hope that the discussion is eventually resolved (not by me) in a way that is agreeable to you, but I stand by my relisting. --DannyS712 (talk) 06:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Alright we agree to disagree with the relisting, and end this discussion on this note. Regards. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  06:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

How did you do that?
I am listening to 'Listen to Wikipedia' and noticed you made dozens upon dozens, if not a couple hundred edits within mere seconds and I was curious how you did that. I find it fascinating. Must be a beneficial byproduct from your programming experience and knowledge! :) Aviartm (talk) 05:53, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I use a couple of scripts that make repetitive editing easier. For example WP:AWB can make simple find-and-replace edits at a manual rate of every ~3 seconds. In this case, I was using User:Evad37/Xunlink.js to remove links to deleted portals. --DannyS712 (talk) 05:55, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Remarkable! Thank you for telling me. I'll look into it. For your great contributions to Wikipedia, I give you this!


 * wow thank you so much. --DannyS712 (talk) 06:03, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! Happy editing and I'll see you around! :) Aviartm (talk) 06:05, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello
Can you please restore the content to the last stable version by S0091 on Vaisakhi? There is this vandal with similar IPs making numerous changes and automated filter is blocking me to allow to make a revert. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.173.87.213 (talk) 07:16, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
