Medicine/Recent changes
Hi Rich. I don't think we've ever interacted. I do a bit of editing on medical pages. Until about a year ago I used to begin my day by clicking on your Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Recent_changes and spend the next hour or fifteen reviewing all the changes since I last looked. Doc James and several others in various time zones used your tool too, and we managed to keep a high degree of scrutiny on en.WP's medical content.

I want to resume patrolling but your tool isn't working any more! just listing recent changes to articles beginning with "A". I will fully understand if you're not interested (and thank you for making and maintaining it for as long as you did) but if you are interested, and are permitted to by whatever this block was about, can you tell me what to do to get it working again, please?

Is there any chance the WMF would take over or replicate and maintain this tool? Would that be a good thing? (I've raised this at VPT, Bot requests and on Boghog's talk page. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 06:47, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Useful tool. Would like to see it working again aswell. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 12:13, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Template:Articles to be expanded with sources
Hi, should Template:Articles to be expanded with sources progress be nominated for deletion as an unused template? --Eleassar my talk 22:10, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes it seems so, Eleassar, as should the following categories:


 * Category:Monthly clean up category (Articles to be expanded) counter
 * Category:Articles to be expanded with sources from October 2013‎
 * Category:Articles to be expanded with sources


 * All derive from the now (sadly, and perhaps wrongly, certainly ham-fistedly) deleted (or it's poorly named alias ).  Unless another template uses these apparatus they serves no purpose any more. Rich Farmbrough, 12:18, 30 October 2013 (UTC).


 * Thank you. I've nominated for deletion the template; for the rest, I'll leave it to others, because I'm not sure what may and what may not be deleted. --Eleassar my talk 08:02, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

 * To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see this page. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at meta or Wikidata. Thanks.

Proposed deletion of -ismist Recordings


The article -ismist Recordings has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Normal text?
Just wondering what you meant by "normal text" in this 2006 edit.

There's some confusion in a discussion at the mixed martial arts Wikiproject regarding whether this applies to fight result tables. Clarification would be appreciated. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:24, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, Wikipedia is written for an international audience, many of whom are not likely to be familiar with what are, after all, postal abbreviations (worse AL is also the international code for Albania, for example). So any abbreviations that are region specific are best avoided wherever possible.  I am always wary of making rules, which is why I appended the, perhaps imprecise, caveat "normal text", clearly quotations and template parameters are exceptions.  As to tables that is a grey area, I would be reluctant to censure - indeed I would never censure - someone for attempting to make table columns narrower, or rows consistently short, although I might disagree with the method.  However things are not as simple as we would sometimes like them to be, which in this case is a good thing.


 * For example the table at displays with single line rows on my main monitor.  And indeed there are other options than using state abbreviations to compactify the table, certainly there is no need to spell out "United States" - if, in this case, it is needed at all, US may be used (the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, preferred in Wikipedia), or in certain sports articles associated with FIFA or the IOC "USA" where three letter abbreviations are used throughout the table for countries (though one may question this general usage since, almost invariably, it is seen necessary to add flag icons).


 * In some cases it may be better to decide a column not to be wrapped, or to encourage or force wrapping in a column, the use of "small" text is not to be encouraged - most users will have the default text at a comfortable size, either they must peer at our "small" text, or zoom in, which makes the table wrapping problems worse than when we started. And in this case already sets "font-size: 85%;".


 * In the example below we have full state names (though arguably not all are necessary), US for United stated, I have removed BC for Vancover, and replaced England with UK (though simply "London" would probably be OK). The longest row is "São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil", so in this example it is possible to have one's cake and eat it.


 * Here I have inserted three forced breaks to narrow the table:


 * I hope that is useful.


 * All the best, Rich Farmbrough, 18:49, 14 November 2013 (UTC).


 * Thank you. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:51, 15 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello, thanks for your assistance. It seems that we are focusing (in this discussion) unnecessary attention on the states, when they are listed in the column mainly to distinguish the location of the city.  In fact, it got so pedantic that at one stage, some editors insisted on standardising the City, State, Country template, resulting in e.g. "Saitama, Saitama, Japan", where "Saitama, Japan" is perfectly understandable and acceptable.  In fact during this current discussion somebody even suggested removing the Location column.  It's just a waste of space to bloat the column by spelling out the longer states, e.g. "California" (repeatedly), "Massachusetts", etc. when the state itself contributes little value to the purpose of the table.


 * Also, I do not agree with "London, UK" - the country is England. It sounds ok for London, because London is also the capital of the UK, therefore we often come across reference to "London, UK", however this familiarity does not extend to, e.g. "Birmingham, UK", which should be "Birmingham, England".


 * Finally, forced line breaks in the content to improve column display are elegant, but will never last. We would have to insert a comment stating the intention, and also argue forever to defend it.  In the HW c'ship history I replaced a line break (with explanation) before "Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira" (below "14. Brock Lesnar") 3-4 times before I lost interest. 110.32.169.30 (talk) 15:21, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree that provided the meaning is clear, it is not necessary to use the "first level administrative distinct", or even the country. My preference would be that London, (or, were they in the table, New York, Tokyo, Paris) could be left unadorned.  Of course there are other Londons (and at least one other Paris), but the meaning is clear.  Similarly, Las Vagas, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Dallas and Houston are all well-known cities, Anaheim and one or two others less so.  It is, however, common in American journalism to state US places with their state names, it must be an editorial decision whether to omit them in a table, and is probably unwise to have a ruling on this - even for a specific project such as MMA.
 * In more detail on the tangential point, while "London, England" was a very common Americanism, spawned no doubt by the confusion of terminology (while British Isles, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Britain, England all now have reasonably well defined meanings they have not always been so clear - indeed "England" as a synonym for "Great Britain" has relatively recent currency), the trend for Birmingham is to disambiguate (if at all which is rare) with "UK"

Info settlement sw
Hi Richard, are you available for some help on sw again? One issue with the present template on Infobox Settlement is that it gives a line Idadi ya wakazi - Mji and this "-Mji" should be out - makes no sense (most places are not "mji"). OK, I cancelled the two mentions og mji - kinmdly have a look if it is ok

Other questions; are you familiar with bots? We have most of these settlements inTanzania with the figures from the 2002 census. By now the figures for 2012 census are available. We need a way to adapt these figures. Do you have an idea for that? Kipala (talk) 09:43, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Template:Interwiki if redlink
Hi Rich

I've just discovered the existence of Template:Interwiki if redlink which you created in 2010. However there is no documentation associated with it to explain what it does, and the what links here shows only two transclusions neither of which are elucidatory regarding its purpose.

Please could you give a brief overview of what it does and indicate whether it is still needed. (please ping me when you reply) Cheers, Thryduulf (talk) 11:04, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Certainly. Suppose we have an entity which is covered on an another Wikipedia, and which should have an article on en:.  We want to provide the reader with a link to the article, and a red-link to encourage creation of the en: article. Once the en:article is created the link to the other Wikipedia can be suppressed (it will be available as an inter-wiki from the English article of course).
 * The parameters are
 * The code could be improved to categorise pages where the redlink has turned blue, for removal by a bot, but at the moment that would be a little bit of overkill.
 * The template is needed for the page on which it is used, whether it could be usefully employed elsewhere is left as an exercise for the reader.
