bot problem?

Hello Qwerfjkl, please check your settings for your bot, User:Qwerfjkl (bot). In Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 2 it is listed as exclusion compliant, however in this edit it appears to have ignored that: Special:PermaLink/1054543578. Notice that your bot was already in a deny list when it made that edit. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:09, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

@John Maynard Friedman: - this is the follow up from VP. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:10, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Qwerfjkl, is the correct syntax {{bots|deny=Qwerfjkl (bot)}}, because it doesn't fend off the bot. {{bots|deny=Qwerfjkl}} hasn't been over-ridden yet but is that just good luck? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:02, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I'll check my settings and try to reply sometime tomorrow. (I'm currently on mobile.) ― Qwerfjkl talk 20:41, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

@Xaosflux Hmm... I do have "ignore {{bots}} and {{nobots}}" unchecked. If it helps, these are my settings:

That's something you would need to discuss with the developers of your framework. If it isn't working right you will need to stop using it until you can resolve it. Did you reivew the specific edit I linked to and agree that you should not have made that edit based on the bots directive? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:11, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Yes, I agree the bot should not have made this edit. ― Qwerfjkl talk 15:33, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
@Xaosflux Adding the skip condition "contains \{\{(no)?bots" seems to have worked. ― Qwerfjkl talk 15:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, that is probably overkill, but certainly will fix this problem. Overkill in that it will make you skip pages like {{bots|deny=Someotherbot}}. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:42, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Better than editing pages that explicitly deny the bot. Thank you for your time, Xaoslfux, and thank you @John Maynard Friedman for alerting me to this issue (indirectly). ― Qwerfjkl talk 15:44, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

- Have you been able to validate that the problem is actually resolved - you should be able to test that without editing. (Please @ping me here when done for an unblock). — xaosflux ^Talk 16:17, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
  @Xaosflux: The skipping now works (according to the skip log) on Ordinal indicator (after I re-added the template). Can you unblock the bot so I can make sure it works properly? ― Qwerfjkl talk 17:51, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Cavygoagoses on Activated charcoal (medication) (05:18, 20 November 2021)

Hallo.... why can we not give activated charcoal when poisoned with acid methanol etc --Cavygoagoses (talk) 05:18, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

(Talk page enjoyer) @Cavygoagoses: Per the source cited in the article [1]: May be used for treatment (GI decontamination) in most oral poisonings except those [...] for which its absorptive capacity is too low to be clinically useful (e.g., iron salts, lithium, boric acid, arsenic, malathion, or organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, or ethylene glycol). Basically, it can't absorb a sufficient amount of the chemical to prevent significant harm. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:50, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Qwerfjkl. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Seddon ^talk 23:16, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

I have listed a page you reviewed for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Femminella. A second page you reviewed, Three Thousand Stitches, appears to be using Goodreads as a source, which is discouraged. And a third, Laurie Franks, has some obviously malformed references. Please be more diligent when doing NPP reviews. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 01:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Chabot4me (14:07, 21 November 2021)

Hello, I tried changing the address location on the page gor Leo Louis Chabot I created so it could have better attention. But I got a message it is not allowed because apparently I changed the User. So my question is… Is there a way to change the address so he can be found easier? --Chabot4me (talk) 14:07, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes that is correct, I was trying to move the draft. Or is that done by the robot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chabot4me (talk • contribs) 20:48, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

@Chabot4me: You can submit the draft for review by adding {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page. Please read WP:YFA. ― Qwerfjkl talk 20:57, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Can you give me some details in how to make a proper list?

All of my drafts are being deleted or rejectd for the same reason. My lists are incorrect and i dont know why. Scottlinehan1999 (talk) 12:52, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

That being said, I made that link years ago and it was certainly an inside joke that did not stand up to any scrutiny and was likely correctly admonished as a "blatant hoax", or at least "implausible" ;)....I suppose I am just as sad to see it go as I am glad that the powers at be do not allow such jiggery pokery to go on indefinitely.

Relisting discussions at RfD

Please refrain from relisting discussions for a third time (especially if no discussion has occurred after the second relist). These type of discussions should be left for the next patrolling admin to handle them. And in some cases, a "no consensus" close is better than a relist. I recommend reading WP:RELIST and WP:SILENCE which will guide you on how to relist discussions properly. Thanks. CycloneYoris ^talk! 22:43, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

December 2021 GOCE Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021.

Current and upcoming events

Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now!

Drive and Blitz reports

September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

Other news

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community.

Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above).

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

Problems

MediaWiki 1.38-wmf.11 was scheduled to be deployed on some wikis last week. The deployment was delayed because of unexpected problems.

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 December. It will be on all wikis from 9 December (calendar).
At all Wikipedias, a Mentor Dashboard is now available at Special:MentorDashboard. It allows registered mentors, who take care of newcomers' first steps, to monitor their assigned newcomers' activity. It is part of the Growth features. You can learn more about activating the mentor list on your wiki and about the mentor dashboard project.
The predecessor to the current MediaWiki Action API (which was created in 2008), action=ajax, will be removed this week. Any scripts or bots using it will need to switch to the corresponding API module. [2]
An old ResourceLoader module, jquery.jStorage, which was deprecated in 2016, will be removed this week. Any scripts or bots using it will need to switch to mediawiki.storage instead. [3]

Bots Newsletter, December 2021

Bots Newsletter, December 2021

BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots.

Overall

Between September and December 2019, there were 33 BRFAs. Of these, Y 25 were approved, and 8 were unsuccessful (N2 3 denied, ? 3 withdrawn, and 2 expired).

September 2019

Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, *it's alive*, **IT'S ALIVE!**

TParis goes away, UTRSBot goes kaput: Beeblebrox noted that the bot for maintaining on-wiki records of UTRS appeals stopped working a while ago. TParis, the semi-retired user who had previously run it, said they were "unlikely to return to actively editing Wikipedia", and the bot had been vanquished by trolls submitting bogus UTRS requests on behalf of real blocked users. While OAuth was a potential fix, neither maintainer had time to implement it. TParis offered to access to the UTRS WMFLabs account to any admin identified with the WMF: "I miss you guys a whole lot [...] but I've also moved on with my life. Good luck, let me know how I can help". Ultimately, SQL ended up in charge. Some progress was made, and the bot continued to work another couple months — but as of press time, UTRSBot has not edited since November 2019.
Article-measuring contest resumed: The list of Wikipedians by article count, which had lain dead for several years, was triumphantly resurrected by GreenC following a bot request.

Curb Safe Charmer adopts reFill: TAnthony pointed out that reFill 2's bug reports were going unanswered; creator Zhaofeng Li had retired from Wikipedia, and a maintainer was needed. As of June 2021, Curb Safe Charmer had taken up the mantle, saying: "Not that I have all the skills needed but better me than nobody! 'Maintainer' might be too strong a term though. Volunteers welcome!"

November 2019

Y BHGbot 4, YiFeiBot 2, DannyS712 bot III 64 · ? PearBOT
Old bots do new tricks: DannyS712 bot III 64 prowled redirects, YiFeiBot 2 archived GoCE requests, and BHGbot 4 removed links to portals deleted at MfD (until its authorization was revoked in January at operator BrownHairedGirl's request).

December 2019

Redirects to be autopatrolled: A RfC took place at WP:NPP, closing with unanimous consensus that new redirects should be automatically marked as patrolled by bot. DannyS712 wasted no time, and submitted DannyS712 bot III 66 the next day; it passed two days after that.
200,000 bios get short descs: Along a similar vein, Bot1058 6 was approved to remove disambiguation pages from Category:Monitored short pages and a new bot (DemonDays64 Bot) changed lots of http links to https using JavaScript Wiki Browser. One particularly neat task, PearBOT 5, automatically generated short descriptions for more than 200,000 biographies.

In the next issue of Bots Newsletter:
What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?

What happens when two bots want to clerk the same page?
What happens when an adminbot goes hog wild?
Will reFill ever get fixed?
What's up with ListeriaBot, anyway?
Python 3.4 deprecation? In my PyWikiBot? (It's more likely than you think!)

These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the January 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out!

"Fixing userbox per request"

I made no such requests. In fact, I clearly stated that I would fix those transclusions. If you want to beat me to the punch and fix some of them, fine, whatever, but don't give false attribution (blame) to me. — voidxor 20:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Oh...yeah...that editor is trying to make trouble for me because we have history. "Soft-redirected userbox" are my words from earlier this week. He knows full well that I've been working on fixing userbox transclusions in AWB as a pet project since the pandemic began. I've fixed tens of thousands. The irony is that I'm nearly done. The two userboxes that he mentioned in that request were near the bottom of my to-do list. Some others for which I'd already fixed transclusions were just nominated for deletion Monday, Thursday, and yesterday. — voidxor 04:07, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Correction: the three userboxes that he mentioned. I'd been actively working on transclusions of {{CountriesVisited}} this last week, actually. And {{Userbox/POC}} I just tagged and put onto my to-do list a few days ago. Don't be this user's pawn. — voidxor 01:03, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

FYI

Hello, Qwerfjkl,

That IP editor who keeps requesting redirects about etymologies is User:Mx. Clarks, an account that is globally blocked. I just saw on another user talk page that they admitted that they couldn't use their regular account so they edit as an IP which I guess is why they keep requesting that you create pages for them. If I knew how to do range blocks, I'd try that because every day they have a new IP account. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:15, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me! I'll decline all the redirects in that case. ― Qwerfjkl talk 07:09, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Question from P3771 on The Highland County Press (03:00, 15 December 2021)

Hello, it would seem I overestimated the amount of information available for a locally owned newspaper, especially for someone who has never been to the location. It would seem the original owner, the Clermont Sun Publishing Company, inc, had serval other newspapers, or at least according to the Ohio Security of State website. https://bizimage.ohiosos.gov/api/image/pdf/5486_0651 https://bizimage.ohiosos.gov/api/image/pdf/200110002356 I would like to create a page called Clermont Sun Publishing Company, Inc., than merge it with The Highland County Press. I hope this will allow it to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Does this sound reasonable to you? --P3771 (talk) 03:00, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

@P3771: That sounds fine, though to might want to ask at The Teahouse, were someone more knowledgeable can answer your question. ― Qwerfjkl talk 07:09, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Tagging empty categories

Hello, Qwerfjkl,

Another message! It looks like you are using your own script rather than Twinkle to tag empty categories. That's fine, whatever works is great but I don't think your script is leaving notifications on the talk page of the category creator every time you tag an empty one. This is just a reminder that this is important and maybe your script needs a bit of tweaking.

My failure to notify a category creator of the tagging of an empty category years ago caused the editor to open a complaint about me at ANI so it's become a best practice that I can be a little insistent on which is why I'm such a big fan of Twinkle and I post so many reminders about this. But kudos to you on creating your own script! Thanks again for all of the work you do. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

@Liz See these 10 contributions - the script should be notifying the user. ― Qwerfjkl talk 07:12, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Qwerfjkl, another potential improvement is to search for {{empty category}}. If you look at Special:History/Category:Skydance Television drafts, this category was tagged for C1 several times in a short period despite the addition of said template, and a removal of the speedy tag upon seeing the template notice. You may want to have the script search for that template and its redirect variations. -2pou (talk) 20:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

@2pou: Thanks, I hadn't thought if that. I'll check for __EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__ - the script already does this when tagging, so it shouldn't be too hard. ― Qwerfjkl talk 21:04, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

@2pou:

Done with Special:Diff/1060131088/1060461551. ― Qwerfjkl talk 17:43, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Do you have a bot of your own?

Excellenc1 (talk) 12:33, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

@Excellenc1: Yes, I run User:Qwerfjkl (bot). Why? ― Qwerfjkl talk 12:36, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

@Qwerfjkl: I was wondering how you made almost 47,400 edits and got enough experience so as to become a reviewer, admin and whatever stuff they are, all in just over 10 months. Probably the bot added to the edits, didn't it? (I remember when I had previously asked a similar question and you said that's because you were very active, but this seems hyperactive to me!) Excellenc1 (talk) 13:46, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

No, the bot's edits aren't added to mine. It has 15,401 live edits [5]. I'm still just very active (and I do a lot of semi-automated editing [6]). ― Qwerfjkl talk 13:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
