Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

 * I noticed you didn't get a response either on the Help Desk or at the Teahouse. I don't know anything about this.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:00, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for asking, . Nope, no answers yet. I'll have to keep poking around. SewerCat (talk) 13:14, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear to anyone else who might read this, the template assumes any response was an answer. The response you got was more of a question.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  15:18, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

What level are you?
I found your name at Category:User js (probably because you posted the corresponding userbox on your user page), in the level-unspecified list of JavaScript programmers.

I was wondering how experienced you are at JavaScript, and whether you might be interested in getting involved with developing user scripts, hobnobbing with other JavaScript programmers, and organizing and improving JavaScript articles and support pages.

We do all of that and more at the JavaScript WikiProject.

Scripts undergoing development, and the state of JavaScript on Wikipedia, are discussed on the talk page.

For an overview of JavaScript coverage on Wikipedia, see Draft:Outline of JavaScript and Index of JavaScript-related articles. For everything on user scripts, see User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts.

The WikiProject also organizes every resource it can find about JavaScript out there, such as articles, books, tutorials, etc. See our growing Reference library. If you know of any good ones, please add them.

If you would like to join the JavaScript WikiProject, feel free to add your name to the participants list.

Hope to see you there! The Transhumanist 16:52, 12 May 2017 (UTC)


 * My level really is indeterminate. It's a decade or so since I worked with js but I'm more than willing to try to come up to speed again. I've been active only with Python and related topics on StackExchange. I'll sign up. SewerCat (talk) 17:25, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Cool. I hear Python is used a lot in natural language processing. Have you done anything like that?
 * Nope. But now I have to say something, right? I've been retired for several years. Mainly I answer questions about markup languages, scraping, regex, mining, symbolic algebra, scientific computation. Some distance from js and NLP.
 * I'm glad you are interested in picking up JavaScript again. Two heads are better than one. I've been working on a couple scripts. One is for removing redlinked list item entries from outlines and lists, and it is in the debugging phase. I've started documenting it extensively on its talk page, to jog my memory and help others get up to speed with the coding.  The other script is for making annotations disappear/reappear, and one of the design elements &mdash; resetting the view port &mdash; escapes me completely. I've been waiting for my programming level to go up before I tackle it again. It's been 3 months, and so I'm about due to take another crack at it. I'm definitely in over my head, and so I can use all the help I can get. I look forward to collaborating with you, on scripts, articles, and/or support pages. Cheers.

 * I'd be in over my head too! But I'll have a look. I won't touch what I can't make myself understand. (Promise.)

Welcome to WikiProject JavaScript
Thank you for joining up!

If you haven't already, please add WikiProject JavaScript to your watchlist, so you can spot activity on the WikiProject's talk page.

I heavily revised it. If you have time, please check it for accuracy and flow. Thank you. The Transhumanist 20:32, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Loon Lake, British Columbia (Lillooet Land District)
Hello, can you please add your sources? At the moment, I'm concerned it could be tagged for deletion. Best wishes and thanks for your work on this, Boleyn (talk) 22:03, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Greetings! The _contents_ of the article are not mine. I'm associated with it because I created that page from the contents of the page you mentioned. I did this because the page you refer to was formerly called simply 'Loon Lake, British Columbia' when, in fact, there are nine lakes with this exact name. I think you might need to request the co-operation of the contributors to the page called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon_Lake,_British_Columbia. Thanks for your support. SewerCat (talk) 14:34, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Ah, thanks, Sewercat. Boleyn (talk) 15:56, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 21:04, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Would you mind taking a look under the hood?
Hi SewerCat,

We talked last spring about you possibly diving in over your head into userscript development.

So, whether you wish to learn or help, I've now got some scripts I've been working on for you to look at. They actually work, but have much room for improvement. To make it easier for other programmers to follow along, I've provided extensive notes explaining the source code (along with links to further descriptive resources) on the scripts' talk pages.

So far, there is:
 * User:The Transhumanist/OutlineViewAnnotationToggler.js – this one provides a menu item to turn annotations on/off, so you can view lists bare when you want to (without annotations). When done, it will work on (the embedded lists of) all pages, not just outlines. Currently it is limited to outlines only, for development and testing purposes. It supports hotkey activation/deactivation of annotations, but that feature currently lacks an accurate viewport location reset for retaining the location on screen that the user was looking at. The program also needs an indicator that tells the user it is still on. Otherwise, you might wonder why a bare list has annotations in edit mode, when you go in to add some. :) Though it is functional as is. Check it out. After installing it, look at Outline of cell biology, and press . And again.
 * User:The Transhumanist/RedlinksRemover.js – strips out entries in outlines that are nothing but a redlink. It removes them right out of the tree structure. But only end nodes (i.e., not parent nodes, which we need to keep). It delinks redlinks that have non-redlink offspring, or that have or are embedded in an annotation. It does not yet recognize entries that lack a bullet (it treats those as embedded).

It is my objective to build a set of scripts that fully automate the process of creating outlines. This end goal is a long way off (AI-complete?). In the meantime, I hope to increase productivity as much as I can. Fifty percent automation would double an editor's productivity. I think I could reach 80% automation (a five-fold increase in productivity) within a couple years.

There's more:
 * User:The Transhumanist/StripSearchInWikicode.js – another script, which strips search results down to a bare list of links, and inserts wikilink formatting for ease of insertion of those links into lists. This is useful for gathering links for outlines. I'd like this script to sort its results. So, if you know how, or know someone who knows how, please let me know. A more immediate problem is that the output is interlaced with CR/LFs. I can't figure out how to get rid of them. Stripping them out in WikEd via regex is a tedious extra step. It would be nice to track them down and remove them with the script.

I look forward to your comments, questions, ideas, and suggestions. The Transhumanist 08:39, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

P.S.: Please ping me so I don't miss your reply. Thanks. -TT

Disambiguation link notification for February 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kendall's W, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Copula ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Kendall%27s_W check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Kendall%27s_W?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
