User:SD0001/Making user scripts load faster question

Hi SD0001. Thanks for writing this and maintaining it. Would it be possible to change the behavior for some mobile device browsers? There doesn't seem to be a reliable way to force a page refresh on iOS using Safari (i.e., without a real keyboard). I wouldn't suggest completely disabling it, but perhaps a much shorter cache duration like an hour? Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:28, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For now, I simply added &&window.innerWidth>768 to the outer check. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:49, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Quinlan Some people have found the snippet particularly useful on mobile as mobile internet speeds are lower. I am not sure if it's a common requirement to purge script caches on mobile, to be worth adding in extra code to set a different cache duration. It's worth keeping the minified blob as small as possible. – SD0001 (talk) 08:15, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point about speeds. I ended up using a blank page to lower the age values to 1 second so they'll be refreshed. That only helps with the resources being loaded on that page, of course. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:28, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Good article promotions #2...

@SD0001:Hello and good night! Sorry for bothering you in case you are busy but i need to notify an issues regarding this page (https://sdzerobot.toolforge.org/gans?user=KGRAMR): Iron Soldier listing has an erroneous date (1970-01-01) instead of the date when it was approved by the reviewer (2024-09-03). If you can fix the issues in anyway i would be grateful but if not then no worries, it's just an odd stuff i noticed when arranging my wiki user page. Thanks and have a good day :) Roberth Martinez (talk) 22:52, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed in the db. Not sure why it was wrong originally. – SD0001 (talk) 08:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minor parsing error w/r/t User:SDZeroBot/NPP sorting

Looks like the bot doesn't filter out citations in {{sfnm}} templates; see this page which has a footnote at the bottom. Mach61 00:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed [1], thanks. – SD0001 (talk) 07:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maintainer of HotArticlesBot: move config page?

You're currently listed as a maintainer of HotArticlesBot. Would you be willing to change the bot so that it gets its info from, say, Wikipedia:WikiProject/Hot articles config.json? I'd like to open up editing of the config to template editors but can't do that if it's in user space; only admins and int admins have access. (I already convinced MusikAnimal to do the same with the Popular pages config.) Izno (talk) 00:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Izno. The bot will now read its conf from Wikipedia:WikiProject/Hot articles config.json. – SD0001 (talk) 14:19, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I don't see a change in the repo that's posted on the bot's page. Has that been synced lately or are you hiding the adjustment in another repo? Izno (talk) 17:42, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have access to that repo. I updated the source link to point to my fork.

Not that I think this bot should continue to exist. It can be deprecated once I figure out a good way to make {{database report}} support templatized queries (fetch a query from another page, but substitute some values). Even without that, it's still easy to generate such lists, as already done in a few cases like Wikipedia:WikiProject Louisville/Hot articles 2. – SD0001 (talk) 20:19, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the syntaxhighlight "copy" feature

I complain a lot about bugs that linger forever in Phabricator and are never resolved, mostly because I am not a programmer and can't fix them myself. But you actually went and implemented the 12-year-old request at T40932, and it is great! Nice work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:23, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. Most of the work on this was actually done by the author of the mediawiki.org gadget which I just ported into the extension. By the way, it's a boolean attribute so just copy works the same as copy="1". – SD0001 (talk) 19:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions

Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates

Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
October 22–24: Discussion phase
October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
November 1–?: Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.

The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

You're receiving this message because you are a candidate in the October 2024 administrator elections.

Our Admin Election Test

Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 07:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Best wishes to you as well! – SD0001 (talk) 10:28, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

NPP sorting

Should have run a couple of hours ago but apparently didn’t. Thanks Mccapra (talk) 08:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved now per User_talk:SDZeroBot#NPP sorting. – SD0001 (talk) 11:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Admin Bâtonnets

I may not be able to offer you the baton, but I hope you can savour these bâtonnets as you study all the new admin buttons! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:47, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, TIL what a bâtonnet is . – SD0001 (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some bubble tea for you!

You deserve it after winning adminship. Congrats! Wikibear47 (talk) 18:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. – SD0001 (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"He who does not keep peace shall lose his hand."

	The axe of responsibility

We wear it for each other, each new contributor, and each new generation to come. May you ever be the community's champion. BusterD (talk) 14:21, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's poetic, thanks BusterD. I hope to yield the axe well! – SD0001 (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A baton for you!

	The new admin baton
	Dr vulpes has passed the baton to me and, after a few hours of pure joy, I am passing it on to you! Congrats on winning your election and make sure to pass a baton on to the next admin once you're done! Sincerely, Ahecht :)

Thanks a lot. Belatedly noting that the baton has been passed on. – SD0001 (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Wikipedians by GA/FA views

Hi SD0001 (and congrats on your recent adminship)! I just wanted to follow up about Wikipedia:Bot_requests/Archive_84#Bot_to_maintain_lists_of_Wikipedians_by_good_article/featured_article_views, as I still think it'd be a nice thing to have! Any chance it'd be possible to create this list? Sdkb ^talk 05:00, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb It's a busy month for me. Probably next month! (Belated congrats on your adminship too! By the way, and I really mean this, you have a lot of great technical ideas about improving the project. You should learn to code. It's the one thing that improves productivity many times over. I'd suggest starting with Python.) – SD0001 (talk) 07:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I learned some Python back in college, but I've never put in the effort to re-learn it and other coding languages. I think you're probably right, as that is often a bottleneck! Sdkb ^talk 19:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
