Speedy deletion[edit]

I think the subpage Template:Latest_stable_software_release/Maxthon meets requirements for the speedy deletion. This suppage is not used for its purpose and is not visible for common Wikipedia users. Could you explain your intention of deleting QD mark? Dvorapa (talk) 20:38, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~When you have fixed three transclusions I might be willing to delete.~~ — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:47, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly it is a basic principle that if a new title is required, you move the article - you do not copy&paste. Template:latest stable software release/Maxthon has about 190 edits - credit to the authors must be preserved.

But in this case even a move was totally inappropriate. Do you understand what transclusion means in a MediaWiki context? If I had deleted template:latest stable software release/Maxthon, please explain how the release information would be shown in the comparison of web browsers article? Exactly the same goes for Skype except that in this case template:latest stable software release/Skype has more than 800 edits.

Please explain how template:infobox software displays release information.

I have blocked you briefly but I propose that the block should be removed as soon as you provide satisfactory answers to my questions above. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:57, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At first, you might want to know my intention. I described it here: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Latest_stable_software_release_VS_Multiple_stable_software_releases_Templates.

Let me explain it once more. I just created new pages according to Template:Infobox_web_browser#Different_latest_versions and filled them with apropriate information and asked for deleting the obsolete ones. I made it for Maxthon, because it is web browser, and also for Skype, because Infobox web browser template is derived from Infobox software and therefore it should work fine for both cases in the main Maxthon and Skype pages.

Second thing is about Comparison of web browsers article. I didn't know about this article. Yes, you are right, the change of the name would produce an error in that page. I think, that it is a bug. As I see it, the recommendation of using Multiple stable software releases page here: Template:Infobox_web_browser#Different_latest_versions should be removed in order not to confuse users, because it just don't work well with another pages and templates. There should be just a small recommendation about using just the template from that page (I mean {{Multiple stable software releases ... }}) in the page Latest stable software release. What do you think about this solution?

Finally yes, I understand your intention and it was my mistake. Sorry for me.

*** Could I therefore ask you for deleting both Multiple stable... pages? Because of their presence, the infoboxes on the main Maxthon and Skype pages have now broken association and they are trying to open Multiple stable... pages to edit instead of the Latest stable... pages.

Possibly the another solution would be to add the Multiple stable... template/page into the Comparison of web browsers article as another possibility. I don't know, how the data in this article are built, but there should be some way how to change it. This solution would also require to add this possibility to the Infobox software template (like it is now in the Infobox web browser template) if it is not there. I thought, both infoboxes are almost the same, but as I see it now, they probably aren't.

*** Another thing is, that at this moment the edit links in the Infobox software in Skype article for individual versions (the [+]) refers to Multiple stable... page. I think, that Multiple stable... template is not determined to use in the latest stable... page or I don't know, what does it cause.

Maybe the above issues marked with *** are the same. Dvorapa (talk) 14:28, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Clickable button 3[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Template:Clickable button 3, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Global watchlist - Update 1[edit]

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 sco.wiktionary refers to a site that doesn't exist, it is considered valid, because sco is a valid language code (sco.wikipedia is a working site) and wiktionary is a valid project.

Announcements

BREAKING CHANGE: Backwards compatibility supporting the use of sites as *.*.org (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 window.GlobalWatchlistSites, deprecated in version version 1.11.11, will be removed soon; all settings should be stored in the window.GlobalWatchlistConfig 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

Next release

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.

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[edit]

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. en.wikiversity exists, and so is valid, but sco.wikiversity 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 entirewatchlist 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.

Next release

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

Global watchlist - Update 3[edit]

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, phab: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 entirewatchlist, 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.

Next release

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