Fixed, not fixed
[edit]Excuse me for writing to you here, but I don't get any notifications at the English-language Wikipedia so you can ping me here. Anyhow, the Factotum title display issue was fixed earlier but has since returned. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:37, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Odd ping by Factotum
[edit]Factotum seems to have made this odd ping, by guess is that it didn't register the fact that the person I was replying to used a template in their signature. Not sure if this even is "a problem", but I'm reporting it anyhow. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 10:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Donald Trung, there's a problem, but I'm unsure about the solution. Antoine.01's templating of the userlink is probably not valid, and they are listed on https://signatures.toolforge.org/reports/commons.wikimedia.org for "sig-too-long-post-subst". Their actual signature is
{{subst:User talk:Antoine.01/s}}
but they are not substituting. No userlink in wikitext means tools (like Factotum) couldn't reliably locate their comment in wikitext.
In this case that wasn't an issue as Factotum failed to recognize the userlink in HTML because it's wrapped in another element (a<span>
in this case), picking the userlink it did recognize instead. I'd have to add something for that inFTT.getLegacyUserForTimestamp
. Maybe later. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 15:45, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

You made me laugh...
[edit]I just read User:Alexis Jazz/Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point. Guess which part made me laugh?
In 1999, or maybe a year or so before or after, I read a description of her that called Ms Spears "the world's sl*ttiest virgin". I am sure you wish her well, as I do. Geo Swan (talk) 05:36, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- In 1999 The CBC had a reporter/comedian assigned to the Y2K beat. He reported on an interview Ms Spears did, online, on a service called
myspace
Myspace allowed myspace subscribers to post questions to Ms Spears. This online interview was described as precedent setting, the first of its kind. Myspace moderators selected some of those questions for her to answer, online.
- One young questioner asked her what her plans were for News Year's Eve. A clearly unhappy Ms Spears told fans she didn't have ANY plans for news year's eve, because her mom believed elevators were going to suddenly plummet to the grounds, and airliners were going to drop from the sky. So she was forcing Britney to stay home.
- So, concluded the CBC's reporter, that is one more thing Y2k ruined. It ruined the hottest date of the Millenium. Geo Swan (talk) 05:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Geo Swan, of course I do. I still have two of her albums. Listening to Born to Make You Happy right now, kind of a guilty pleasure I suppose. That essay was actually written in 2018, right before the stories about abuse and conservatorship surfaced in 2019. The public perception of Britney was quite different at the time and the joke should be read in the zeitgeist of 2018. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 10:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, yes, read differemtly now. That is why I assured you I knew you wished her well.
- Look at the English title of the most famous book of w:Pierre Vallières. Wow. That title didn't age well. Geo Swan (talk) 10:13, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
I suggest to allow GFDL again!
[edit]Hello!
Naa do not worry... :-)
Right now I'm checking ALL wikis to locate GFDL-templates. I gave up on doing it automatically. But at some point I hope all templates with GFDL is linked via Wikidata and then it could perhaps be done in some fancy way.
Sadly there are many wikis and many files. You can see m:User:MGA73/GFDL files but it is not complete. I got lazy and gave up updating it with all templates and categories while I was working. So for now I mostly just link via Wikidata. But once that is complete I could compare my list with wikidata and add the missing categories.
ChatGPT got the idea I could just move ALL files to Commons beause it would make it easier to find all files licensed GFDL. I might do that and we can talk again in 87 years from now. Lol...
Anyway if you have any ideas let me know. And if you spot any wikis you like on the list you could go nuts on the GFDL-files and either move them to Commons or nominate them for deletion. :-D --MGA73 (talk) 11:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I found something that seems to work so now I'm working on creating usable lists.
- For now I made a list of all wikis and if they suggest GFDL during upload. You can see m:User:MGA73/GFDL files/Licenses. --MGA73 (talk) 16:04, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I started COM:VPC#File:Eintracht Frankfurt Logo.svg which lead to the DR above. I noticed you took part in the previous DR on the logo so just wanted to give you an FYI. Jonteemil (talk) 13:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
Is this technically possible?
[edit]I want to write a proposal to turn the MediaWiki Upload Wizard into "a LEGO™ set of features", essentially where users can pick and choose what features (or annoying messages) they do and don't want. This would essentially mean that "Special:UploadWizard" would display differently for different users depending on their own user settings. Now, I know that this is already technically possible for the rest of the MediaWiki software, but is this also technically possible for the MediaWiki Upload Wizard or is it written in such a way that it's not possible for customise it per user, even if the developers wanted it? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 05:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Donald Trung, anything is possible I guess, but good luck finding coders if you can't make it yourself. And you'll have trouble maintaining whatever you do, as the MW developers are unlikely to take local scripts into account. So like Factotum, it'll just keep breaking. Getting your changes upstream (becoming officially part of MediaWiki) would solve that, but you'll have to glue wings to pigs first.
Requesting a userscript that disables something that annoys you is more realistic. Just using CSS to hide the unwanted stuff may be feasible.
Or skip the UploadWizard entirely, create an all-new upload form that uses the API. That would be less prone to breakage. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 06:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for your honest opinion, but I hope that we could actually get a properly maintained and regularly updated MediaWiki Upload Wizard with help of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). Is this realistic? Probably not, but I'm still going to try. A fork is simply not going to work because the code gets updated all the time and even the most simple tools tend to break whenever the system updates. It's ridiculous how much maintenance is needed for even very basic templates at Wikipedia, let alone actual software features. — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
