Sheep Go to Heaven

It was great to meet you. This is my newest “rescue”. Bearian (talk) 22:54, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Bearian It sure was! I hope to see you at future events. Awesome that you're a Cake fan :) I saw them live for the first time this past summer at Pier 17. They were fantastic! — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:56, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes. I saw them many moon ago in Saratoga. Bearian (talk) 01:01, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Concern involving User:MusikBot II/TemplateProtector

Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)

I recently created {{RM created}}, and it was quickly semi-protected by MusikBot II for having over 400 transclusions, which I thought was odd, because it had only ever been used by me. I then saw the problem: I had added it to {{Done/See also}}, which itself has over 400 transclusions. This led me to a concern—does this mean that any autoconfirmed editor can semi-protect any template (or worse, any page) by transcluding it onto that documentation page? If not, please explain the measures the bot has taken to prevent this. JJP_Master (she/they) 19:49, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

You should ask the bot op who will actually know the answer instead. Izno (talk) 20:02, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

I have moved the discussion appropriately. JJP_Master (she/they) 20:12, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

I think this might be a little too WP:BEANS-y to discuss here. If people insist I elaborate publicly, I will, but I think I'd prefer an oath of silence – especially here on this talk page which I believe is still frequented by long-term abusers. — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:54, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-48

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

• A new version of the standard wikitext editor-mode syntax highlighter will be available as a beta feature later this week. This brings many new features and bug fixes, including right-to-left support, template folding, autocompletion, and an improved search panel. You can learn more on the help page.
• The 2010 wikitext editor now supports common keyboard shortcuts such Ctrl+B for bold and Ctrl+I for italics. A full list of all six shortcuts is available. Thanks to SD0001 for this improvement. [1]
• Starting November 28, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: bswiki, elwiki, euwiki, fawiki, fiwiki, frwikiquote, frwikisource, frwikiversity, frwikivoyage, idwiki, lvwiki, plwiki, ptwiki, urwiki, viwikisource, zhwikisource. This is done as part of StructuredDiscussions deprecation work. If you need any assistance to archive your page in advance, please contact Trizek (WMF).
• View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a user creating a new AbuseFilter can now only set the filter to "protected" if it includes a protected variable.

Updates for technical contributors

• The CodeEditor, which can be used in JavaScript, CSS, JSON, and Lua pages, now offers live autocompletion. Thanks to SD0001 for this improvement. The feature can be temporarily disabled on a page by pressing Ctrl+, and un-selecting "Live Autocompletion".
• Tool-maintainers who use the Graphite system for tracking metrics, need to migrate to the newer Prometheus system. They can check this dashboard and the list in the Description of the task T350592 to see if their tools are listed, and they should claim metrics and dashboards connected to their tools. They can then disable or migrate all existing metrics by following the instructions in the task. The Graphite service will become read-only in April. [2]
• The New PreProcessor parser performance report has been fixed to give an accurate count for the number of Wikibase entities accessed. It had previously been resetting after 400 entities. [3]

Meetings and events

• A Language community meeting will take place November 29 at 16:00 UTC. There will be presentations on topics like developing language keyboards, the creation of the Mooré Wikipedia, the language support track at Wiki Indaba, and a report from the Wayuunaiki community on their experiences with the Incubator and as a new community over the last 3 years. This meeting will be in English and will also have Spanish interpretation.

permclerk

Your bot reported 7 errors relating to PermClerk, please review the errors. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Something is definitely awry alright. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be causing any actual problems. I will look into this more when I get a chance. Thanks for letting me know, — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:48, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

There are some processed requests that meet the archive criteria, but the bot is not archiving them. Maybe it needs a restart. – DreamRimmer (talk) 00:59, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
