Not a big deal, but I wonder if you'd consider modifying your (excellent) DoffOnly script to allow for custom text beyond the built-in "only"? Likewise for the DOT_SEPARATOR variable. I imagine folks might find it useful. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 21:03, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
Hey there! So
phab:T32750 is going to be deployed next Thursday. With this, any edit summary that links to someone else's userpage will ping them. It looks like your Draftify script will be affected, when I assume you don't necessarily want to issue pings with this script. You can disable the pings by simply prefixing a colon, like [[:User:MusikAnimal]]
. I see you're somewhat inactive these days, so if I don't hear from you by next Thursday, I may boldly make the changes myself (very simple and low-risk), hopefully that's okay! :) Thanks for the awesome script, and hope all is well. —

♪ talk ♪ 14:21, 28 March 2018 (UTC)We should also move the CSD code data out of Module:Csdcheck and into a data module somewhere so that it can be used independently and possibly extended. And it would be great to clear up the messages duplicated between Template:Db-notice-multiple and the other speedy deletion notices. In short, I agree that it is high time for a reworking of all of these templates. :) — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 12:13, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
The logic and the presentation [being] all jumbled togetheris not a problem whatsoever for me, it is just how templates in MediaWiki work. In any case, it could be solved by having a subtemplate while still keeping everything in Wikitext. As for {{ db-multiple-notice}}, is there any reason that that can't be done in the exact same way that {{ db-multiple}} works, using a
|raw=yes

Using {{
pp}} on a page protected without "edit" protection (e.g. pending changes, just move protection) fails to produce the appropriate template. I don't know Lua at all, but I think the issue is that line 110 of
Module:Protection banner defaults to when there are no args provided, whether from user or by parent wrapper template, which errors on pages that are only PC-protected or move-protected. Is there a way to grab the appropriate level in those cases? ~ Amory (

Mr. Stradivarius, you created this module back in 2016 for Template:DYK checklist. I was wondering if you would be willing to add more checking to it.
Right now, the module will accept anything in the status field, including symbols/icons, rather than the five valid values. The obvious problem is that if an invalid value is there, no icon is generated by the template. Furthermore, we now have a bot, WugBot, which moves approved nominations to a relatively recently created "Approved" page, and in the case of those DYK checklist templates, it only moves them if the status field has a "y" in it, because that's the value that indicates a review that has passed or passed AGF.
It would help a great deal if you were to put out a red error message when the field does not have a valid value in it, much like you do when (for example) the status field is left blank. (I'm not sure what sort of checking you do in the other fields; if it's a simple matter to enforce valid values there, too, it would be worth it.)
Thanks for anything you can do to help here. BlueMoonset ( talk) 20:38, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

those would apply to the 'TagManager class', or something. I haven't reviewed if everything on the right is correct/the most efficient thing (e.g. should it be 'fromtheeditors' or 'fromtheeditor'?), but things on the left are missing. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 06:59, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
In this edit you wrote "lead section". However, the discussion was about a specific issue, which is limited to the first paragraph of this very large lead section. It seems to me there was never any intention to cast the whole lead section in iron, nor does it seem to me it has been interpreted so, as edits have been made to the other paragraphs of the lead section. However, recently an editor has claimed that the restriction involves all of the lead. Can you please clarify this matter at Talk:Jerusalem#Suggested_edit_to_lead_paragraph? Debresser ( talk) 21:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
However, if we are talking about whether it might be a good idea to amend the sanction, then it might make sense to consider what was discussed in the RfC. I wouldn't take the mediated discussion leading to the RfC into account here; we talked about lots of things there, sure, but it was the RfC itself that had the wide community participation, so it should be the RfC itself that carries the most weight. And as you said before, in the RfC itself we only considered the first paragraph. So if you want to try and get the sanction amended to affect only the first paragraph of the lead rather than the whole thing, then that would be a good angle to start the discussion from. To get the sanction amended you have to go through the process outlined at WP:AE; there's nothing I can do about it myself. Hope this helps. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 11:22, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:56, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Mr._Stradivarius (cool name),
I saw that you reverted my edit to Buddy Fletcher, specifically regarding a IRS federal tax lien, due to the source that I provided wasn't considered credible (a non-notable website).
The tax lien was recorded and can be searched and viewed for free on New York City's Automated City Register Information System (ACRIS). The less credible website I used as a reference describes how to locate the lien using the official website in order to verify it.

I wanted to suggest adding the regnal years of Chinese and Vietnamese Emperors to pages like " 1890" which is already done at the Mandarin Chinese Wikipedia, for example at the page " w:zh:1890年" it reads "清光緒十六年;日本明治二十三年;越南成泰二年" , now the Japanese date is already on the English Wikipedia, but the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese regnal years ain't. Another example would be " w:zh:1895年" which depicts it as "乙未年(羊年);清光緒二十一年;台灣民主國永清元年;韓國開國五百零四年;日本明治二十八年;越南成泰七年" Zanhe told me that you added quite some data to the current template on the English Wikipedia, so would it be possible to add Oriental Nianhao to here too?
Note that I did not check where the Mandarin Chinese Wikipedia took its data from and that certain nianhao expire as the Manchu Qing Dynasty was abolished in 1911, the Korean Empire was annexed in 1910, and the Nguyễn dynasty ended in 1945, so if it's possible the template should no longer depict these nianhao after these dates. -- Donald Trung ( talk) 10:05, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Zanhe found out that Template:Year in various calendars uses the Lua module Module:Year in various calendars, which loads Module:Japanese calendar, which in turns loads the calendar data from Module:Japanese calendar/data. This whole system can be replicated for Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese era names. Possibly this system already exists at the Mandarin Chinese Wikipedia. -- Donald Trung ( talk) 14:24, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!

Hi there, I saw your previous comments on the MonthlyArchive template talk page about the issues which the template has, and I wanted to let you know I've proposed some changes to the template which would hopefully address them. However, they are breaking changes for archiving bots, and would require some (minor) modifications to the bots so that they would be compatible.
When you have a moment, it'd be fantastic if you could take a look at my proposal and let me know your thoughts.

By default, {{
Automatic taxobox}}
adds {{
Italic title}}
when it detects that the taxobox has as its target a taxon with a rank of genus or below. This works fine, except when the title is the name of a botanical taxon which has to have a "connecting term", like
Salvia subg. Perovskia or
Scilla sect. Chionodoxa, in which the connecting term must not be italicized. {{
Taxon italics}}
, which uses
Module:TaxonItalics, handles these cases:
{{taxon italics|Salvia subg. Perovskia}}
→ Salvia subg. Perovskia{{taxon italics|Scilla sect. Chionodoxa}}
→ Scilla sect. ChionodoxaSo the taxobox itself italicizes correctly, since it uses Module:TaxonItalics. However, to make the article title display correctly in these cases, editors must both
DISPLAYTITLE:
{{
Italic title}}
by putting |italic_title=no
in the taxobox.This regularly catches even experienced editors (and I don't always remember myself, even though I wrote the module underlying {{
Automatic taxobox}}
).
I think it's probably not worth trying to fix this in Module:Italic title for the few articles affected – the code is complex enough already (I find your use of the OO approach in Lua difficult to follow, even though I've taught Java in the past and still program in it from time to time). However, I thought I would mention it, as an example came up today. Peter coxhead ( talk) 10:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
DISPLAYTITLE:
directly inside
Module:Automated taxobox, as you already have the correct italicization from
Module:TaxonItalics. But maybe there is something I'm missing here. As for
Module:Italic title's coding style, these days I probably wouldn't use OOP - a few functions would suffice. —
Mr. Stradivarius
♪ talk ♪ 14:14, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
{{
Italic title}}
at all – just use DISPLAYTITLE with the value used by default for the taxobox title. Another idea suggested to me was to use ItalicTitle._main({ string =... })
, passing the already italicized value. So, no need to consider any changes to the code you wrote. Thanks for the suggestion. (When I converted the automated taxobox system to Lua, I was deliberately conservative, and left alone those bits that didn't involve recursive processing of taxonomy templates. That's probably why I didn't think of handling title italicization myself. But it's obvious once pointed out!)

Would it be possible for you to unprotect or switch the protection level on this page to pending changes? It's been very infrequently edited in the past few years and a downgrade would probably be appropriate (you semi-protected the page indefinitely back in 2012).

Mr. Stradivarius, I made a minor change to this module's main routine: the "hookcited" parameter was listed twice, while "hookinterest" wasn't listed at all, so I listed them once each, along with the bulk of the other parameters. (I'm not entirely sure why "status" or "qpq" aren't included in the list, but assume you had your reasons.) If there is a problem with my change, please correct or revert—and be sure to let me know why, so I don't make a similar problematic edit in future. Many thanks.

Hello. If you could please confirm if I'm doing this correctly.
I recently added a script at User:DB1729/common.css to hide the rollback buttons in my watchlist. (I had an accidental revert a few days ago)
I wish to do the same thing for Special:RecentChanges.
Found my way to the page User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/ConfirmRollback, and from what I gather, It looks like I need to paste the following: ,
importScript('User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/ConfirmRollback.js'); // Linkback: [[User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/ConfirmRollback.js]]
and
ConfirmRollback = {
recentchanges: "hide"
}
into User:DB1729/common.js.
Is this correct? Will the other code I currently have installed at User:DB1729/common.css cause any problems? Just wanting to be sure.
Thanks. -- DB1729 ( talk) 02:09, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

There's no reason for this removal. It's fine to bundle this in the module, but until it is, there's no reason why missing/malformed DYK detection shouldn't be in the template. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 02:41, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
|dyk1entry=
, |dyk2entry=

WP:TPEDISPUTE; going by that policy, my initial revert was not ideal, as I obviously didn't demonstrate the rationale for my revert very well. Your further revert was an even bigger no-no, as the policy says that "the edit ... must not be reinstated ... without clear discussion leading to a consensus decision". I don't see a consensus for your change anywhere yet. —

|bypass-error=
, it's used about 40 times or so. I see you partially implemented things into a new module, so that's good at least. However, from the comments you made in the module, you are using a 'if it matches a pattern, it's valid', when the test should be closer to 'it must match both an initial pattern and an ending pattern'. But it's LUA, so I can't really follow what the actual logic is. There might also be extra brackets in the regex that shouldn't be there, but again LUA, so I can't tell for sure. Also there's no way to bypass error checking.

Hi. Given you are currently active and available as a translator on Wikipedia:Translators available, I'm here to request translation of ja:昭和49年台風第8号 to Typhoon Gilda (1974). I have talked about this to Nihonjoe, but unfortunately he's busy. Typhoon No. 8 appears to be a notable typhoon in Japan (which is why that article is pretty long and that article was created on 2007!), and the size of that article is too much for me to handle given that I'm currently in college.
