About lint errors

Hi there @Bruce1ee, how do you find and fix the lint errors in an article? 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 09:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Have a look at Wikipedia:Linter, in particular the "How you can help" section. Special:LintErrors lists the current lint errors, and on each page linked there is a "Help" button at the top right, which explains how that category of errors should be fixed. Another list of current lint errors is Firefly's report. Installing the "lintHint" gadget can also be very helpful (see User:PerfektesChaos/js/lintHint for instructions). If you need any further help, you're welcome to ask me here. Otherwise there is a linter discussion page at Wikipedia talk:Linter. —Bruce1ee 10:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi!

Greetings, I occasionally come and make edits on en.wiki, I am normally a patroller on tr.wiki, I need your help as I don't know this place. I can't find the info boxes on my profile that link to my TR page and say "this user is a patroller on Turkish Wikipedia" etc. Can you help me? YG01 (talk) 18:33, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

YG01, is {{User wikipedia/New page reviewer}} what you are looking for? – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes I was looking for this thank you, how can I access the other boxes? YG01 (talk) 21:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

There are other boxes listed in the documentation for that template. You can also click on the category links at the bottom of {{User wikipedia/New page reviewer}}. Does that help? – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

@Jonesey95: Thanks for responding to this. —Bruce1ee 21:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

The categories don't show up for me, I guess because I'm not an approved user on en.wiki, thank you for your help. @Jonesey95 YG01 (talk) 08:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Those categories should appear for everyone. They are Category:User rights templates and Category:New Page Patrol userbox templates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, unfortunately it doesn't show up for me. Our wiki is very different. For example, on our wiki the number of changes etc. is shown on the user page, but not on yours. Also, does en.wiki have the right to whitelist? I'm sorry, I've really overwhelmed you, I apologise... @Jonesey95 YG01 (talk) 16:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

On en.WP, I have a script or a gadget that adds text to the top of User pages like "1,252 revisions since 2005-03-15 (+6 days), 44 editors, 101 watchers". That may be what you mean. It is not a standard feature that all editors see. As for whitelisting, I don't know what you mean. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

What I mean is that while the Turkish Wiki has information about such users, the English Wiki has a blank space... What I mean by White List is that users who do not require version control are given to users who are trusted by us, and the burden of version control is lightened. YG01 (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

You could ask at tr.WP how that information is displayed on User pages. It looks like a customized piece of code that we do not have at en.WP. As for the white list, the en.WP list of user rights is at Wikipedia:User access levels. You could ask at Wikipedia talk:User access levels about the equivalent to the tr.WP white list. We may have the same thing but call it by a different name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:43, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your information, I apologise for disturbing you :) YG01 (talk) 17:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Hornby Railways logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Hornby Railways logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Be wary of lint issues on Darshan filmography right now. Dealing with a sock on that and Darshan (Kannada actor) who keeps messing with things, or tediously fiddling with/changing images. If you see a new image on Darshan filmography and they are a new, mobile editor, they have asked someone to make changes on their behalf (while pinging others in that request), and have updated boxoffice revenue on Indian films, you should revert the edit(s) on sight and let User: Abecedare know of the probable WP:duck.

Question and help!

I noticed that on a few pages, you fixed "lint errors." I couldn't find what they were. Thanks for the help. Also, can you fix page names? Studies of the Enzyme D-Alanyl-D-Alanine Carboxypeptidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus should be Structural Studies of the Enzyme D-Alanyl-D-Alanine Carboxypeptidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Thank you so much for helping me on my wiki journey! JoeK2033 (talk) 12:17, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

@JoeK2033: I've moved Studies of the Enzyme D-Alanyl-D-Alanine Carboxypeptidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus to Structural Studies of the Enzyme D-Alanyl-D-Alanine Carboxypeptidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus. The old page is now a redirect pointing to the new page. I've also updated the link to the new page on Janet Frost. —Bruce1ee 13:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm a bit apprehensive about messing with linking redirects because I don't want to make any mistakes. I've noticed that some of my recently created pages have been reviewed. In contrast, others like Structural Studies of the Enzyme D-Alanyl-D-Alanine Carboxypeptidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus and The Country Club of Farmington, 1892-1995 have not been reviewed yet. Should I be doing something specific so these pages get reviewed? JoeK2033 (talk) 18:25, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. Checkuser shows nothing interesting on that one, which is unusual. They're not in Pakistan, which is where most of the Dubai spam comes from, but they're not in Dubai either so it's almost certainly paid-for SEO.

Inadvertent display of Sounding Rocket article revision

I am sorry for you having to revert my sandbox efforts to the external links on the sounding rockets page. I have extensive research on Sounding Rockets and missiles in general. As I feel that Wikipedia is encyclopedic and should provide researchers with as many useful leads as reasonable, I am working upon a revision of the Sounding Rockets page. The current page (August 2024) is very deficient in extent and content. For example it states "The basic elements of a sounding rocket are a solid-fuel rocket motor." All early Sounding Rockets were liquid fueled. Witness the See Also section which lists several such as Aerobee and the V-2. There were also sounding rockets which used artillery for example the Martlet series. There was the air launched Sparoair series. I am most sorry that my sandboxing of external links entries were inadvertently posted. Many are for aged sources which are not easily proofed to avoid problems that the Wikipedia templates are poorly designed to handle.

Thanks for the heads-up I shall try to be more careful in the future.

Lint source

TY for delinting 'Perfume Delight' photo Gallery. Offender |Thumb|. Source was Wiki Commons' photo addition wizard. I posted photos to Commons. Wizard provided those copy-and-paste links, the lint source. (above my paygrade) TomStonehunter (talk) 14:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

@TomStonehunter: I'm not familiar with the Commons photo addition wizard, but I suspect that it includes "thumb" as a file option, which is intended for photos outside galleries. However, inside galleries the "thumb" must not be used. See Help:Gallery_tag#Loading in images for more information. —Bruce1ee 15:46, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Baghir A. Suleimanov

Thank you for your tireless efforts to fix lint errors. It often happens that you and I are working on the same page at the same time. This happened just now in Baghir A. Suleimanov. You saved before I did, but you missed the point of what was really wrong here. What was really wrong is that there was an external link in the article body, instead of in the External links section at the end. See what I saved right after your save. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:40, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for picking up after me

Enjoy this WikiCookie of appreciation!
--Slowking Man (talk)

Thank you muchly for cleaning up after me! You see I am a very intelligent and experienced WP editor, which is why I often absentmindedly forget to punch in stuff like necessary syntax for all that markup stuff. And get distracted by checking a link in an article and then going off to edit that new shiny thing instead and not paying much attention to the edit I was already working on. Enjoy this WikiCookie in appreciation (substitute at will your preferred choice of comestible). In the future you are cordially invited to drop me a reminder/finger-wagging on my talk page when I leave messes around when editing. Thanks again and have a great day! --Slowking Man (talk) 18:25, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Request for removal of material

Hi, I wonder if you would perhaps consider deleting the thread above re: author Mark Dawson, here [1].

The material that the user seems to have been keen should be installed on the Mark Dawson article has twice been removed from that article, presumably on the basis that it is poorly sourced, potentially defamatory and non-BLP compliant. That being the case, I'm not sure that it is a very good idea for the material to be shown in great detail on a user talk page.

This issue came to my attention after the user in question became the subject of a thread at WP:COIN (here [2]) after twice failing to have an article about himself installed on Wikipedia and due to a long history of WP:SELFCITE. Apart from the non-BLP compliant nature of the material he details in great length in the thread above, there are also, I suspect, plausible concerns that the user may be linked in some way to the story (as all of his previous activity on Wikipedia has been on topics to which he has a personal connection). Failing that, it would seem that either WP:RGW or WP:POINT may be in play.

I have no connection to the subject of the article, I just felt that given the user's history you might consider deleting (or even revdelling?) the thread. Kind regards, Axad12 (talk) 04:21, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

@Axad12: No problem, I've deleted it. Of course the thread will still be visible in my talk page history. I don't know if it should be permanently deleted. —Bruce1ee 06:44, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

No me neither, but the material is also still visible in the edit history for the article in question so I don't suppose it matters one way or the other if it's on the edit history here as well. I mentioned the possibility of it being revdelled at COIN, but I've leave that decision for others to make.

Many thanks, Axad12 (talk) 07:52, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Weekly highlight The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years. iOS Wikipedia App's profile menu and contents Updates for editors Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter. Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis. View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [3][4][5][6][7] It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter. Updates for technical contributors Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "9 November 2024". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [8][9] Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}. [10] The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform.

It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects. The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of. The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.
