User:DannyS712/copyvio-check.js[edit]

Hey DannyS712, it seems the copyvio check script you maintain triggers a full search every time the curation toolbar is opened. Do you think you could change it to require confirmation for each page (e.g. a button to run the check)? The reason is that it seems to be the cause of some heavy load due to making automatic expensive requests even if the user did not want to run a check. See T303088. Thanks! — The Earwig (talk) 04:29, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@The Earwig should be done, requires manually triggering the check. I saw on the phab task something about not knowing where the requests were coming from. Is there an api header I should be setting? DannyS712 (talk) 05:01, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response. For API requests I normally look at the User-Agent or Referer, but I realize now both are fixed by the browser and can't be changed in the AJAX request (at least on Chrome, I think). Don't worry about it for now. In the future I may add another header. — The Earwig (talk) 05:19, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @The Earwig and DannyS712, hey, I just was updating the docs on this a few days ago! The MW API recognizes the special header Api-User-Agent for this purpose, so maybe you could recycle that. See meta:User-Agent policy, which I recently expanded.

Ah, that would work. Thanks Enterprisey! — The Earwig (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@The Earwig okay, let me know once you have that header supported and what I should do to use it DannyS712 (talk) 01:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:DannyS712/Draft no cat[edit]

I have no problem with changing "[[Category: foo]]" to "[[:Category:foo]]". However, it is not appropriate to change "[[Category bar]]" to "[[:Category bar]]"; the later is not a Wikipedia:Categorization, because it does not have a colon after "Category". --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 00:23, 6 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]

@Chatul makes sense - do you have an examples where this happened? DannyS712 (talk) 01:18, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, User:Chatul/Sandbox/Differential (Mathematics):

m (@Chatul: Disable the categories on this page while it is still a draft, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT/WP:USERNOCAT (using Draft no cat v1.7). The easiest way to do this is by converting them to links, by adding a colon: "[[Category:" → "[[:Category:")

The link category of sets should have been left as-is. --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 01:58, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Chatul  Done DannyS712 (talk) 02:01, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question for DS712: have you modified the DNC script so it will ignore these instances going forward? If so, do I have to reimport the modified script into my common.js page? UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:30, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@UnitedStatesian Yes - I fixed the script, Special:Diff/1075485739. Your common.js imports the live version rather than a specific version with a permalink, so you should be good to go DannyS712 (talk) 04:40, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, you are the best. UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:43, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A "[r]eversed e" can be either reversed horizontally or vertically, not necessarily horizontally.

Hi DannyS712, could you please review the page Sbircia la Notizia Magazine? Thank you --Basilio007 (talk) 22:45, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, its not a subject I'm familiar with - it'll get reviewed eventually in the normal process DannyS712 (talk) 02:30, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit filter false positives response helper needs updated[edit]

Hey! Your script needs to be updated as a new template has been added relating to edits to the "Notable people" sections of articles. Just figured I'd let you know. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:22, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf Can you link to an example edit using this template? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:31, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:50, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add that when I get a chance DannyS712 (talk) 17:23, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright sounds good. Thanks! ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:43, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing, I noticed that when selecting the option to indicate that the user has been blocked, when clicking "done" nothing happens and it doesn't work. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:05, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm planning to eventually rewrite this script, I'll keep that in mind DannyS712 (talk) 18:31, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March songs

Thank you for support in the RfC for DYK - music with a chance to listen, - the piece by Anna Korsun begins after about one hour, and the voices afterwards call "Freiheit!" instead of "Freude". Music every day, pictured in songs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:00, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
