User talk:Jeroen N

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Woodcutterty! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! User:Marek69. 13:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Kees van Dijkhuizen
Je bron (primaire overigens die niet de voorkeur verdienen want meer POV) loopt op de zaken vooruit: in mijn secundaire bron (managementScope) staat duidelijk het volgende: ... zal hij waarschijnlijk half februari 2017 de functie van CEO op zich nemen. Net als bij de presidentsverkiezingen in de VS loopt de inauguratie weken achter op de benoeming/verkiezing. Je terugdraaiing was dus onterecht. Ik hoop niet dat je de versie hebt verborgen. In elk geval graag jezelf weer terugdraaien. Ik mag op de "paranoïde" Nederlandstalige niet bewerken vanuit McD :-( vandaar dat ik het zo doe, waarvoor verontschuldigingen. Klaas `Z4&#x241f;` V 10:52, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Je secundaire bron is van november 2016 en speculeert. Als ABN AMRO zelf zegt dat Van Dijkhuizen al vanaf 1 januari 2017 de bestuursvoorzitter is, wie ben jij dan om dat te betwisten met een oudere, speculatieve bron? Dat is zo ongelooflijk stom, en je vergelijking met de president van de Verenigde Staten is ook al volslagen ridicuul. Doe toch een keer normaal, Klaas. Alsjeblieft.

Global watchlist - Update 1
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:


 * General announcements
 * Management has migrated to phabricator; to report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task with the script's tag
 * Message translation has been reduced; for common messages that are already translated in mediawiki core, the system translations are used, in order to reduce duplication of efforts


 * Recent additions
 * New pages are shown at the start of a site's feed
 * Log entries are shown at the end of a site's feed
 * Basic validation has been added to user settings, applied before saving
 * Site validation has also been added; a site (excluding unique projects like wikidata, meta, commons, etc.) is considered to be valid if it is the form of "language.project", where both the language code and project name are valid. It does not, however, check that the actual site is valid; only that it could be. In other words, even though  refers to a site that doesn't exist, it is considered valid, because   is a valid language code (  is a working site) and   is a valid project.


 * Announcements
 * BREAKING CHANGE: Backwards compatibility supporting the use of sites as  (like 'en.wikipedia.org' or 'meta.wikimedia.org'), deprecated in version 1.7.5, will be removed soon; all sites should now be saved as   (like 'de.wikinews' or 'fr.wikisource')
 * BREAKING CHANGE: Storing user sites as, deprecated in version version 1.11.11, will be removed soon; all settings should be stored in the   object
 * Both of these breaking changes will be implemented alongside version 4.0; until then, any use of the config page (m:Special:BlankPage/GlobalWatchlistConfig) will result in saving settings in the newest format

Version 4.0 should be released in around a week. It will include the new features mentioned above, as well as removal of backwards compatibility for settings and sites.
 * Next release

I've sent this first message to users that participated in the discussion at m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Watchlists/Revive Crosswatch tool or otherwise shown interest in the script. To subscribe or unsubscribe from future updates, see the distribution list.

Global watchlist - Update 2
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:


 * General notes
 * To report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task on Phabricator with the script's tag


 * Recent additions
 * Site validation has been tightened. Previously, only the language code and project name had to be valid - now, they must be a valid combination (i.e.  exists, and so is valid, but   is not valid, because no such wiki exists).
 * When the global watchlist feed is loading, an OOUI widget will be shown, rather than an animated gif.
 * An option has been added to no longer group edits to the same page. For now, this isn't very useful, since metadata for the edits (editor, summary, tags, etc.) are not yet shown, but they will be soon. Until then, ungrouped edits are treated the same as pages with only 1 edit - the minor and bot flags are displayed if applicable. If edits are grouped, the minor and bot flags are only shown if they apply to all of the edits.


 * Upcoming changes
 * Starting with version 5.0, there will be an option at the settings page to switch to and from a "stable" version of the script. When activated, the script import in your global.js should be replaced, and then the page refreshed with the new script loaded. The stable script will live at m:User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/stable.js, and will be updated with each full release. Otherwise, it shouldn't be edited, providing a version that is less prone to bugs as the script is developed.


 * Announcements
 * WARNING: Starting with version 5.1, the option to mark the pages of a site as seen be implemented using the  API option, rather than manually listing the titles. This is being done to simplify the implementation code. This will result in the same functionality as marking all pages as seen via Special:Watchlist (i.e. even if the page isn't visible due to your filter choices, it will still be marked as seen). If you would like to keep using the current method for a while, please switch to the stable branch.

Version 5.0 has just gone live. It includes the new features mentioned above.
 * Next release

Global watchlist - Update 3
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:


 * Survey
 * I am investigating adding more context to each entry that is shown (such as the edit summaries, tags, patrol marks, the user who made the edit, etc.). Is there any desire for such additions? If so, what should be added first, and what is a low priority? Please leave feedback on the relevant phabricator task, T238300.


 * Recent additions
 * Site validation has been overhauled. Rather than hard-coding a list of valid sites, users will be able to watch any site where they have an attached local user account. If a site is rejected as invalid, please ensure that there is indeed a local account attached to your global account.
 * Users will now be alerted regarding the results of attempting to update their settings.
 * Live updates have been added - when activated, the script will refresh in the background, and then load the new feed, every 7.5 seconds. In the future, this frequency may be configurable.
 * OOUI icons have been added to most buttons.
 * There is now an option to eliminate the confirmation dialog when marking all sites as seen.


 * Announcements
 * WARNING: Starting with version 6.1, site aliases currently used when saving settings will be removed, and only sites in the form of `lang.project` will be accepted.
 * As noted in the last update, marking a site as seen now uses, which means that any changes to watched pages between when the watchlist was loaded and when the site was "marked as seen" may be ignored.

Version 6.0 was just finalized for the development and stable branches of the script.
 * Next release

Global watchlist - Update 4
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:


 * Recent additions
 * A new "fast" mode has been introduced. When used, the watchlist serves as just a list of pages that have been modified, and no longer includes context about the edits themselves.
 * More information has been added to entries. When edits are not grouped by page, or when there is only 1 edit to a page, minor and bot flags are shown, as well as the user who made the edit, the summary used, and any tags that were applied. When multiple entries are grouped, bot and minor flags are only shown if all of the grouped edits were made by bots or where marked as minor. If only 1 user edited the page, that user's name is still shown, but no summaries or tags are included.
 * All watchlists are now fetched in parallel, rather than in series, greatly reducing load time.


 * Technical notes
 * Most of the source code is now annotated with jsdoc notes, allowing others to more clearly understand and review the code.
 * I will be looking into creating guidelines to let others contribute to the script; see T238298.


 * Translations
 * There is now proper qqq documentation for translations. Translation takes place at m:User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/Translate, and help is appreciated.
 * Newly translated messages are added to the script when I notice them; if you have translated messages that aren't showing up, please let me know at m:User talk:DannyS712.

Version 7.0 was just finalized for the development and stable branches of the script.
 * Next release

 * When the username associated with an edit has been hidden (either via revision deletion or suppression) this is now properly shown in the output, rather than showing "undefined".
 * Links to view changes open in new tabs.
 * When marking a site (or all sites) as seen, only changes made prior to the watchlist loading will be marked as seen, so that any changes since then are not missed.

Global watchlist - Update 7
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script and the Global watchlist extension:

I have received a grant from the WMF to develop this script into an extension. As a result, I do not plan on any further developments being made to the user script. Please see the grant page for more information. Those interested in reviewing and providing feedback for the extension should follow the new phabricator board, tag/mediawiki-extensions-globalwatchlist.
 * Future development

Many thanks to those that have contributed translations for the script's messages. Now that I am working on an extension, translation has migrated to translatewiki. Please see:

Global watchlist - Update 8
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script and the Global watchlist extension:

As I noted in the last issue, I received a grant from the WMF to develop the global watchlist script into an extension. That extension has now been deployed on Meta. Visit m:Special:GlobalWatchlistSettings to get started.

I do not plan on any further developments being made to the user script. I have released version 9.1.0 to both the dev and stable versions, which includes a notification about the extension being available when you use the user script. You can dismiss the notification, and the script still works, but it will no longer be maintained.

Those interested in providing feedback for the extension should use the phabricator board, tag/mediawiki-extensions-globalwatchlist. Any bug reports about the extension should be filed there.

This will likely be the last update sent to this list.

 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script and the Global watchlist extension:

Hi everyone. As I noted in the last issue, I received a grant last year from the WMF to develop the global watchlist script into an extension. That extension has now been deployed on Meta. Visit m:Special:GlobalWatchlistSettings to get started.

That grant has ended, and I have requested another grant to continue development of the extension, and figured subscribers of the newsletter about the user script might be interested. You can see and comment on the grant request at m:Grants:Project/DannyS712/Continued work on GlobalWatchlist extension - if you support this, I hope you'll consider endorsing the request.
