Unarchiving village pump discussion

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)

Spongebob licensing discussion ↗

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

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 <code><nowiki>FTT.msgsObj.qqq</nowiki></code> 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 {{Tq|1=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, put <code><nowiki>window.FTTsummaryCredit = ' link to Factotum etc something something ↗]';</nowiki></code> in common.js to change it. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 06:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since {{#formatdate:2021-12-24|dmy}}. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

20px ↗ Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here ↗!

{{columns-start|num=3}}

20px ↗ Featured script

: '''Making user scripts load faster''' by '''SD0001''' is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L ↗. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

20px ↗ Newly maintained scripts

After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...

Aaron Liu has created What redirects here ↗ from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; {{their|Aaron Liu}} fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.

Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.

AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.

Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.

frameless|upright=1.1|center ↗
{{column}}

20px ↗ Improve a script

Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!

Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!

Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.

We want...

:* ...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
:* ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREF ↗s, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
:* ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

20px ↗ Requested scripts

A simple script to second or archive proposed deletion ↗s

A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo ↗

A WP:3O ↗ response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard

A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters ↗

...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests ↗

20px ↗ New scripts

DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filter ↗s.

Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use m:Web2Cit ↗ (which WP:ProveIt ↗ also uses) instead of mw:Citoid ↗ to generate citations in the Visual Editor.

Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm ↗ stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword ↗! Oh, the humanity!

frameless|right ↗Doǵu/Adiutor ''(pictured)'' provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.

right|frameless ↗Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript ↗.

*/afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.

*/ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.

*/redirect-helper ''(pictured)'' adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.

*/rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.

right|frameless ↗Guycn2/UserInfoPopup ''(pictured)'' adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.

Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.

Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.

Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.

frameless|right ↗NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest ''(pictured)'' generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.

PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.

Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD ↗ nominations.

Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red.

Sophivorus's MiniEdit ↗ adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

=Edit-listings=

Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks ↗ adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.

Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.

Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.

*Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine ↗ actually works, pending a fix to {{Phab|T292764}}.

NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

=Appearance-ricing=

Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS ↗ haters. (Do these exist?)

Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal ↗: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!

GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|reply|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?{{jokes}}

frameless|right ↗Jonesey/common ''(pictured)'' has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.

*Aaron Liu/V22 ↗ is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.

Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.

Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.

For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor ↗.

Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.

Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing {{key press|Tab}} toggle the visibility of the tiny [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|edit|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?

The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

=Permissions required!=

Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.

right|frameless ↗Dragoniez ↗

*/AjaxBlock ↗ provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.

*/Selective Rollback ↗ ''(pictured)'' provides a dialog box to customize rollback ↗ edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?

Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

=QOL shortcuts=

BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.

DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention ↗.

DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.

ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js ↗ adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions ↗.

Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.

FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.

Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another {{Button|Clear}} button on top of the Lua module debug console.

Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist ↗ next to the normal watchlist.

Nardog

*PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.

*Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE ↗ and fix them as much as possible.

Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units ↗ in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS ↗.

Suntooooth

* /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.

* /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.

Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{tl|fix}} templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

Nomination for deletion of :Template:Not public domain/mediatype ↗

Factotum is broken

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)

: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: {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|if ( mw.config.get('skin') == 'vector-2022' ) <nowiki>{</nowiki> //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{{Truenewline}} 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';{{Truenewline}}<nowiki>}</nowiki> else <nowiki>{</nowiki>{{Truenewline}} FTT mwEditSec = '#mw-content-text .mw-heading>.mw-editsection';{{Truenewline}}<nowiki>}</nowiki>{{Truenewline}}|lang=javascript}}(but I couldn't get it to work fiddling around with it myself, so maybe there's more to it than that).

Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since {{#formatdate:2024-03-01|dmy}}. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

20px ↗ Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here ↗!

{{columns-start|num=3}}

20px ↗ Featured script

: '''inline-diff-inline-patrol ↗''' by '''Ponor ↗''' is this edition's featured script. By loading diffs inline on every page that shows a list of changes, it implements the 2023 community wish m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Inline diffs and inline patrol ↗. Hopefully we won't need this script anymore soon, with the WMF's focus on the backlog ↗...

20px ↗ Improve a script

Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!

Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...

20px ↗ Requested scripts

Automatically delink all duplicate links within the same section per MOS:LINKONCE ↗.

Collapsible parentheses in body text, which had a ridiculously long original request title ↗ and was accidentally moved to WP:US/L ↗ by me. Oops!

An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game) ↗.

Preview an edit under the mobile viewport on desktop ↗, with perhaps MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar.js ↗ used for inspiration.

...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests ↗. Jeeputer and Nardog have been the most active on the page in the past five months.

20px ↗ Updated scripts

After the <ruby>ＲＩＩＪ<rp>(</rp><rt>rewrite it in jQuery ↗</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby> update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.

Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!

20px ↗ Newly maintained scripts

Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; {{their|Aaron Liu}} fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.

BilledMammal/Move+ expands the powers of User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser to include common procedures done with the art of moving pages.

On a holiday? Somewhere? Gotta learn ye ABCs? CanonNi/StatusSetter puts the fun into Enterprisey/StatusChanger with a quadruple more statuses. That starts with a C!

In our continuing trend(s?), DaxServer/DiscussionCloser forks DannyS712/DiscussionCloser to make it work. Sadly, this is the end of our lexicographic combo.

Andrybak:

* user-tabs-on-contribs is a fork of User:Enterprisey/user-tabs-on-contribs for Vector 2022 ↗.

* Archiver is a fork of User:Enterprisey/archiver with automatic calculation of the destination archive subpage and with support for non-Vector skins.

Quite coincidentally, Elli/OneClickArchiver has been forked from User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver to work with the mw:Heading HTML changes ↗.

FlightTime/OneClickArchiver forks the same thing but also no longer nonsensically prepends {{tl|clear}} to page archives.

* There are now over 7 OneClickArchivers, legacy or not ↗.

20px ↗ New scripts

thumb|Padlock for semi−move protection−designed by User:Chaotic Enby ↗ Aaron Liu: MoveTop adds a different padlock topicon for each level of move-protection.

Andrybak/Not around can help you mark talk pages of inactive users with {{tl|not around}}.

BrandonXLF/AddCopied automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{tl|copied}}.

Bugghost/UserRoleIndicator adds text labels (which default to emoji) to user links that label the user's usergroups. Wow, that's a mouthful

CanonNi/AlertAssistant adds a Twinkle-style dialog for alerting users about contentious topics.

CFA/AttributeTranslation automatically tags articles translated from other places with appropriate attribution.

In the defense of the 'pedia, the humble Jeeputer/defconIndicator adds the WP:WIKIDEFCON ↗ status to the toolbar.

Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer ↗ can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!

Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{tl|duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!

fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block ↗ really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome

TheTechie/Help Me Tool is a quick and easy way of responding to {{tl|help me}} requests.

Per MOS:CONFORM ↗, ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter converts all citation titles to... title case, unfortunately.

:File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.png ↗

Hi Alexis Jazz, I'm trawling through local orphaned files for Commons-uploadable goodies and saw your upload :File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.png ↗. My instinct would be that it's below the threshold of originality and good to upload to Commons, and indeed you tagged it as PD when you uploaded it. But (A) I vaguely understand that the US has given special protection to Olympics-related logos, and (B) someone uploaded a vector version ↗ of the same image as a non-free file. Any chance you could educate me on this? Your comments at :Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2018/02#Copyright in 2018 Winter Olympics photos/videos ↗ gave me a chuckle, so I assume you've got some familiarity with IOC's broad view of its place in the world. Ajpolino (talk) 10:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Alexis Jazz. Could you take a look at :File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.svg ↗ given that you uploaded :File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.png ↗ as {{tlx|PD-logo}}? If you're fairly confident the png logo is PD (I'm not suggesting it isn't), then there's no need for a non-free vector version if the only reason for it being non-free is because it's a vector version. I know you didn't upload the svg, but perhaps you could explain to the person who did why it doesn't need to be non-free. Both files then should probably be tagged with {{tlx|Copy to Wikimedia Commons}}. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
::@Ajpolino, @Marchjuly, sorry I didn't get around to answering. Problem with the "vector" logo is that it contains a large chunk of raster graphics. Some years ago @Conor M98 uploaded that from Fandom. Now they uploaded it again without a source. See :Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2021 July 22#File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.svg ↗. When you overlay them, you see significant differences. As the PNG is the only file with an official source, IMHO the SVG should be deleted (again). When I uploaded :File:2026 Winter Paralympics logo.png ↗ I was blocked on Commons, so I didn't tag it to be moved. Looks like I didn't tag it as PD-USonly, and I'm not 100% sure what the source country is for this logo. Not Italy, that much I'm willing to bet. It could be the US or maybe Switzerland (where the IOC ↗ is from). In case of the US, it doesn't exceed the threshold for originality. In case of Switzerland, it's not fully clear: :c:Commons:Threshold of originality#Switzerland ↗ says {{tq|Swiss copyright law defines works as "literary and artistic intellectual creations with individual character, irrespective of their value or purpose".}} Frankly I think the logo is too generic/simplistic to have "individual character", but IANAL ↗.
::If you believe the source country is not the US and it exceeds the TOO of the source country, tag it PD-USonly and keep it here. If you believe it doesn't exceed the TOO for whatever the source country is, move it to Commons. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 05:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
:::What you've describe above sounds like something better discussed at FFD instead of tagging for speedy deletion. Which license to use, whether the svg needs to go, whether it's subject to :c:COM:Switerland ↗, etc. probably can resolved in one discussion. If, however, the svg version is a reupload of a previous svg version deleted per a consensus established at FFD, you could tag it for speedy deletion per :WP:G4 ↗. I'm using the word "you" alot because you seem to know the most about these two files and their possible copyright status. I'm not using the word because I think you've done something wrong here.{{pb}} Finally, if you've (again not implying anything wrong here) doubts about whether the file is OK as "PD-logo", I agree that it should be fine as "PD-ineligible-USonly", but I think the home country of the local organizing committee can be considered the country of first publication since I believe most Olympic logos (excluding the Olympic Rings themselves) are created by the local organizing committee and thus fall under the copyright laws of whichever country is hosting the games. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:55, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
::::Marchjuly, if the local organizing committee creates and publishes the logos (which you seem not fully sure about), Italy may be the source country after all. I assumed (mother of all failure) that the IOC designed these centrally. The source country rule is not law (when it comes to TOO), it's just a rule on Commons that exists mainly to protect re-users from the source country. The logic being that people from the source country are more likely to try and re-use it. Following the spirit of that logic, Switzerland should never be the source country and Italy may or may not be the source country. Italy has a rather high TOO, so in Italy I expect it to be PD as well, but IANAL. All PD license tags are merely opinions anyway. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 16:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

20px ↗ Featured script

:Very useful for changelist patrollers, '''DiffUndo''', by '''Nardog''', is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser ↗'s double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo ↗.

20px ↗ Miscellaneous

Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle ↗/WP:RedWarn ↗-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension ↗. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship ↗ (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.

DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki ↗ and the <s>greener</s> <ins>purpley</ins> pastures of PHP ↗ with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo ↗ and the <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext">__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__</syntaxhighlight> magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates ↗! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...

20px ↗ Improve a script

Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts, and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!

Elominius/media timer and PrimeHunter/Search sort work, yet have alien user interface design ↗. Someone could improve them...

BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history ↗.

20px ↗ Requested scripts

We need scripts that...

allow you to edit {{tl|sfn}} references graphically a la Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor ↗

copy specific named references from other pages to help with splitting and whatnot

make adding icons/links to the top toolbar (or other portlets) much easier

graphically generate a {{tl|source assess table}}

award a Four Award ↗

...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests ↗. Thanks to the editors at US/R—including Nardog, User:Novem Linguae, User:Jeeputer, and many more!—for their work in processing userscript requests this past year.

20px ↗ Updated scripts

Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{tl|unsigned}} template, support for {{tl|undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.

Pour one out: DreamRimmer/User not around forks Andrybak/Not around to allow configuration precise to a number of days (from the original precision of years).

Red-tailed hawk/cv revdel forks Enterprisey/cv-revdel to automatically add CopyPatrol reports.

Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.

20px ↗ Newly maintained scripts

Administrators only! Novem Linguae/UnblockReview forks the now-broken Enterprisey/unblock-review to review unblock requests with a graphical interface.

20px ↗ New scripts

1AmNobody24: Find Link provides a shortcut to its namesake tool, Edward/Find link, which helps de-WP:ORPHAN ↗ articles.

frameless|right ↗Andrybak: Contribs ranger (''pictured'') generates links to a limited range of user contributions ↗, log items, or page history. You see, it's not just contribs ↗!

CanonNi/VoteVisualizer is a rewrite of Pythoncoder/voteSymbols that makes everything saner to configure.

When viewing :Category:Articles missing coordinates with coordinates on Wikidata ↗, Jeeputer/coordInserter adds links to automatically insert coordinates into the article selected.

To satiate archaeology and curiosity (the same thing, perhaps?), JJPMaster/AfC time logger logs the time it takes for a user to review each submission to Wikipedia:Articles for creation ↗.

Natdog/InsertAnyChar adds a searchable list of all Unicode characters to the 2010 source editor.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? 😯 The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

20px ↗ Featured script

: '''WikiTextExpander''' by '''Polygnotus ↗''', is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? ↗ problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext ↗" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.

20px ↗ Updated scripts

CanonNi: AlertAssistant has been fixed and rewritten using OOUI instead of Twinkle's Morebits. Such modern, very tool. (Do note that the maintainer has since become inactive.)

NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader has been updated to use modern JS APIs that replace the browser's URL bar with the link you clicked on to load in place. The "back" (and "forward") buttons also work now. Cool, innit?

My prayers have been... answered? DreamRimmer/Search sort is a fork of PrimeHunter/Search sort that makes the 11 portlet links much smaller and nicer to look at.

andrybak: Unsigned helper no longer shows an error when the message to sign was added in the earliest 50 revisions of a page's history. This is especially relevant to pages with short histories.

Cyberdog958/Superlinks finally fixes the famous Bradv/Superlinks to work with Vector 2022!

20px ↗ Miscellaneous

In breaking m:Tech/News ↗, {{tq|Gadgets can now include <code>.vue</code> files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js ↗, in particular using Codex ↗, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons ↗ are now also available. The documentation ↗ has examples.}}

{{columns-end}}

20px ↗ New scripts

Appo/Globstory integrates OpenHistoryMap ↗, updating the map whenever hovering/clicking on a location or year, the latter of which changes the map to be (hopefully) accurate to the year selected. It's pretty interesting.

frameless|right|upright=0.5|linkinfo ↗ Somewhat similar to WP:NavPops ↗, Awesome Aasim/linkinfo ''(pictured)'' provides a collection of links to replace the right-click context menu, presented beautifully.

Chaotic Enby/Recent Unblock Highlighter is the #1 WP:ROPE ↗ dispensary of the year. Admins exclusive, naturally.

Chew/HighlightQuotes: Makes all text between double quotes have a yellow background. Shiny.

Daniel Quinlan/RangeHelper allows you to treat IP ranges as users and calculate the smallest range that contains specific addresses IP.

Dbeef/C+ allows CheckUsers to generate a {{tl|sock list}} from the Special:CheckUser ↗ page. Its checkboxes make this task hassle-free.

DreamRimmer ↗ has been working at it with the state-of-the-art Vue.js mw:Codex ↗ UI lately!

* /CHUHelper and /EFFPRH reply to username-change and edit-filter requests, respectively.

* /DraftNoCat deactivates the categories on a draft article. Dogs are better, really.

* frameless|right|EasySubpage ↗ /EasySubpage ''(pictured)'' creates subpages... easily!

* TBanHelper warns you when your current page's title contains certain namespaces or keywords, sternly.

DVRTed/multiContribs provides an aggregate view of the contributions of multiple users and a link at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations ↗ to automatically activate it with all users in a sockpuppet category.

Edit7hesadparts/linkColorRandomizer turns your links rainbowy.

Macaw*/noRefListAlert alerts you when the list of references is missing.

Polygnotus ↗

* /DetectPromo is an interesting alternative to the classic Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable, though of course the word list is somewhat different, you'll see.

* /DiscussionToolsDrafts gives you a centralized page to see automatically-saved DiscussionTools reply drafts, just like EditRecovery ↗.

* PreviousDiscussions provides a link to search for your username on subpages of another user's userpage and talkpage conveniently.

Twineeea/noRedLinks brings you to the "read" instead of the "create" tab when you visit a red link. Contemplate life's mysteries as you stare into the blank! Deeply.

No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.

Your mentoring request

Hi, Alexis Jazz. This comment ↗ of yours at User talk:Kstorage was a bit vague to know how to react. If you have a concern about user behavior, it would be better to be specific about it. I went ahead anyway and added something to the last discussion on their user page, but I have no idea if that's what you were referring to.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with mentorship, but it is pretty much user-driven. Mentors generally have way too many mentees to watch what is going on with them and be proactive or even notice any problematic editing. We pretty much are like a dedicated Teahouse or Help desk: we wait for them to come to us, and are happy to help out when they do. We can always use more Mentors; see Special:EnrollAsMentor ↗ to sign up, and WP:Growth Team features/Mentor list ↗ for details. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 16:51, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
:Mathglot, {{tq|but I have no idea if that's what you were referring to.}} That is indeed what I was referring to, thanks! I'm not very familiar with how mentorship works. I figured a mentor would like to know if one of their mentees gets into trouble. Perhaps that would also vary from one mentor to the next. Thanks again. {{smiley}}— Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 17:05, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
:: Glad I lucked out, then. You're right, I would like to know, but it's just hard to guess what is being referred to without a link. Also, just to give you an idea what's involved: I currently have 1,075 mentees (over 95% of whom made zero or only a handful of edits before disappearing without ever contacting me or anyone), and of the small number that carry on editing, only a few ever reach out with questions. However, that's still a large number of new users and you don't know who's around editing unless you look, so you can see that trying to keep up with who is doing what and and be proactive with those who might be getting into trouble would be a huge task. Mentorship currently lacks tools that would make this task easier. But I'm going to think some more about this; there should be a way to combine things like watchlist filtering or advanced Cirrus requests or maybe even request a bot that would build a list of mentees who have warnings on their Talk page. Thanks again for raising this; maybe something good may come out of it. Mathglot (talk) 18:20, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Mathglot, looks like Kstorage's account has been globally locked for "cross-wiki abuse". She was an odd case. Looking at her website, there are more photos and some backstory. I don't believe she was a vandal or AI, but I was also surprised by her age. I thought she was maybe 15 or so and she'd get past the Myspace ↗ stage, but nope, she's a mother of two. On her website she has a section "Wikipedia Documents & Projects By Me" with PDFs of Wikipedia articles, but I don't see how she contributed to that. It's all very confusing. Anyways, globally locked, doesn't really matter anymore. Thanks for your help, unfortunately it was already too late. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:45, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
:::: Ah; thanks for the tip. Oh, well... Although it seems like there's a missing user page banner template to notify us of the lock that could've saved us some bother. I'll see if we can do something about that. Cheers! Mathglot (talk) 23:31, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
