Unarchiving village pump discussion
[edit]Hello. Is it possible for you to unarchive Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 189#Spongebob Squarepants is now freely licensed!? We are still awaiting a response from Nickelodeon from WMF Legal. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 20:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- JohnCWiesenthal,
Done— Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 23:13, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 23:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi Alexis Jazz, I saw you moved the Spongebob licensing discussion to an RfC page. If I'm reading it correctly, it's not a live RfC yet. I wanted to let you know that my colleague posted an update at the end of the discussion. Cheers, BChoo (WMF) (talk) 19:04, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- BChoo, thanks! The reason I did that was because the discussion had been automatically archived. Having long discussion threads for a long period of time on the village pumps is kind of discouraged as it makes them more difficult to navigate/load, so I unarchived it to its own page.
It's not strictly an RfC, but every other discussion that was split off to its own subpage seemingly became an RfC, so I followed the naming pattern. Too bad Nick didn't reply, but I can guess why.. Sending a reply would sort of acknowledge their mistake. At least they took action. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Question
[edit]Hi @Alexis Jazz: May I know what tool are you talking about here? I'm sorry to have not noticed because it appears the given page has been disrupted a lot. Best regards, ─ Aafī (talk) 14:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- TheAafi, the tool in question is now named Factotum. (formerly known as Bawl) At the time I mentioned it because mw:Extension:DiscussionTools was not working properly on Urdu Wikipedia while Factotum offers similar functionality. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 15:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Alexis Jazz: I don't think DT works fine on Urdu Wikipedia. Is there a way to localise your tool? Responding on talk pages is a very complex task on Urdu Wikipedia. I mean, everytime, I have to open the source-editor and type the response. I'd want to provide Urdu translations to your tool if I know how it works. Best regards, ─ Aafī (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- TheAafi, there is! See User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum/Mumbo jumbo#Translations. In short, search User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum-extra.js for
FTT.msgsObj.qqq
and copy that section to a place you can edit. The next section begins at "FTT.msgsObj.nl" for the Dutch (NL/NederLands) translation.
Translate the entries (translate only the part after the colon) and I'll add it. Don't translate entries that start with "DUPLICATE:". They automatically copy the content from another entry for technical reasons. Most words that are in all caps shouldn't be translated either. For example "USER" gets replaced with a username. But don't worry too much about that, I'll check it to be sure.
A partial translation is also welcome. The translations for the most basic elements of the interface are automatically imported from MediaWiki. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)- @Alexis Jazz: On it. Please see this. Some other friends from ur-wiki are contributing with the translation. ─ Aafī (talk) 13:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- TheAafi, great! Since you're doing it off-wiki (I'm not sure why?), can everyone who contributes state somewhere on-wiki the license that applies? The original is public domain (use e.g. CC0 for public domain), but CC BY(-SA) 3.0 or higher also works. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Sure. This should appear on User:TheAafi/Factotum Urdu. ─ Aafī (talk) 11:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Alexis Jazz: Just pinging to ask if you got some free time to include this translation package in the script? ─ Aafī (talk) 09:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- TheAafi,
Done— Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 13:47, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- TheAafi, I just noticed I made a mistake that probably caused the translation not to load. It should load now. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Alexis Jazz: This script has been doing wonders. I'd appreciate if Factotum in edit-summaries like this, could be changed to کارندہ ─ Aafī (talk) 14:17, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Aafi, thanks! What does
کارندہ
mean? Google translate says "the worker" and Bing translate says "agent". If you're looking to change " نیا قطعہ" (new section) in that edit summary, it originates from w:ur:میڈیاویکی:Newsection which in turn is defined at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Newsection/ur.
If you're looking to change "Factotum", it's the name of the script. I made it customizable if needed, putwindow.FTTsummaryCredit = ' [[[w:en:User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum|link to Factotum etc something something]]]';
in common.js to change it. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 06:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Factotum is broken
[edit]Due to the recent change (see Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Tech News: 2024-26), the HTML for the signatures has changed. This means that Factotum buttons don't show up (e.g. on User talk:Primefac#Watchlist emails) (the buttons still work fine on my comments, presumably because I'm using Factotum when making them). — Qwerfjkltalk 15:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Qwerfjkl, should work again. I'm on a pretty intense vacation so not too much wiki time. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 16:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, and enjoy your holiday! — Qwerfjkltalk 17:17, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Just letting you know that it's now not showing up for section headers, presumably due to the HTML heading changes from before that recently made it to V22. I would assume therefore that this code needs to be changed:(but I couldn't get it to work fiddling around with it myself, so maybe there's more to it than that).
if ( mw.config.get('skin') == 'vector-2022' ) { //20240628 HTML changed, .mw-editsection in skins other than vector-2022 seems to be under .mw-heading now which also includes the h2/h3/etc FTT mwEditSec = '#mw-content-text H1>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H2>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H3>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H4>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H5>.mw-editsection,#mw-content-text H6>.mw-editsection'; } else { FTT mwEditSec = '#mw-content-text .mw-heading>.mw-editsection'; }
Obviously feel free to deal with this at your leisure (or not at all). — Qwerfjkltalk 19:38, 27 July 2024 (UTC)- Qwerfjkl,
