こんにちは. Can you think of any way to sniff out if a Wikipedia user has JS disabled from a module? Obviously it would be nice to just ask if mw.user.hasJSDisabled() then
but in lieu of that, is there any property we can read that would indicate the state of play? I wondered about reading the <html>
classes, but the title
stuff doesn't seem to reach into the HTML, only the wikitext content.

tags, of course, but these tags are unavailable to wikitext by design. What are you looking to use this information for? I have a feeling that there may be an easier way to do whatever it is you're trying to do, but I'd need to hear the specifics first. Best —

19:06, 8 June 2016 (UTC)Hi Mr. Stradivarius, I've made changes to Module:Protection banner/sandbox and Module:Protection banner/config/sandbox in preparation for the result of WP:ECP2016. It adds recognition of the new prot level as far as I can tell from testing, and allows {{ Pp-30-500}} to invoke the module. The template sandbox is already looking good. Given the way the RfC is going, I believe we need two ECP templates, one for ArbCom enforcement, and one for generic ECP-level protection. The 2 categories that the current template uses ( 1 and 2) would probably be different (and possibly even renamed) pending RfC results. I'm planning on making a new template "Pp-ecp" to invoke the module, that's used for "general-purpose socks/disputes" (pending RfC result).
The sandboxes are not ready for syncing yet, but just wanted to ping to let you know. — Andy W. ( talk · ctb) 06:30, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Testing protection level reset on delete and restore.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 08:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
I saw a while ago that you had a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Lua/Archive 2#Wikitext tables? - was there ever a fix to this? I'm having the same issue at Module talk:Series overview/testcases#/split and /special with module, where the series overview is created with the module, and then the /split and /special rows are added through the currently-existing sub-templates. (This is only a temporary measure, so that the split seasons and specials still appear when the module is implemented, so they don't disappear until they're updated to become part of the main module). Thanks. Alex|The|Whovian ? 03:37, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
<table>...</table>
tags with {|

. You might do that by going from this:local root = mw.html.new('table')
root:tag('tr'):tag('td'):wikitext('some text')
root:tag('tr'):tag('td'):wikitext('some more text')
return tostring(root)
local root = mw.html.new()
root:tag('tr'):tag('td'):wikitext('some text')
root:tag('tr'):tag('td'):wikitext('some more text')
return '{|\n' .. tostring(root) .. '\n|}'
{|

I have noticed that on the article "Bukharian Jews"under section "Notable Bukharian Jews"missing a name. Wanted to ask you if you can add, a person Yakov Bachayev under "Notable Bukharian Jews". Yakov Bachayev is a former President of Bukharian Jewish Synagogue and the Community in Denver, Colorado. He is a Jewish activist that carried a mission to build Bukharian Jewish Synagogue in Denver, Colorado. Up until today he helps with progress, development and guidance of the Bukharian Jewish Synagogue and the Community. I can provide you some proof about him being a president of the Bukharian Synagogue in Colorado and job that he did. Also the whole history of the Bukharian Jews coming to Colorado in general.

Hello, Mr. Stradivarius. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hi!
I was thinking... Would it be possible to create a script, that would automatically apply changes to article and then optionally open diff window? By automatically I mean this - I have an URL, let's say, something like https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=<page title>&<script call>&<regex to replace>&<replacement string>
. I open it and the magic happens. I can think of some reasons why such script would be a bad idea, but if used with great care and carefully, then... And it wouldn't save the page itself, so it probably would not violate too much policies :D No, the find->replace would be different (one-time) in most cases (that would be generated off-wiki), that's why using current f->r scripts would be so effecient. I would simply like to speed up things a little bit. Thoughts? --

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Mr. Stradivarius,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Stradivarius.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

On the one hand, they are fairly frequently transcluded and are used in system messages. On the other hand so are many other template protected templates.

Hi! Your recent edit to {{ Unbulleted list}} has, I think, made it display with bullet dividers, not newlines, between the items; in its present from it seems to be superfluous to {{ Hlist}}. I imagine that's not what was intended? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 13:09, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
| class1 = hlist

Should the changes in the sandbox be merged to the main template (since you added them in 2014 but never implemented them)? I'd like to port over some additions from

$N
will stop being a special case, and start being a regular parameter. The problem with that is that several templates still use the $N
parameter, despite it being deprecated. If those templates are substituted after the changes are merged, then |$N=template name
will appear in the output, which is not something we want. By the way, how about using longer parameter names in
Module:Unsubst-infobox, like $PARAMS and $EXTRA instead of $P and $E? It's not so bad in
Module:Unsubst as there are only two of them, but with ten different parameter names it looks pretty confusing. —

Hi Mr Strad, it's been a while since we've crossed paths. I happened to use your very handy SUPG tool a moment ago and had an idea for a change that might make it slightly better... have you considered adding a category modification element that checks to see if the user being blocked is listed in Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues, and removes that category if they are? In my own case, it would save me having to do it with HotCat after issuing the block (something which I invariably forget to do anyway...). All the best, Yunshui 雲 水 12:12, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Hey Strad,
Just recently joined Wikipedia. I've edited a few music release pages now and I've realised that the total runtime is entered manually by the user. This isn't a huge issue however it's a little time consuming and also prone to error (as I just had to amend a page for it being incorrectly calculated). I noticed that you've mostly been maintaining the track listing module. I'd love to implement this total runtime automatically by myself, however I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's lua modules. If you could consider adding this, that would be great. I'm willing to help out if needed.
Thanks, Dave - Sherbet-head ( talk) 15:21, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
However, there is a way we could use this idea. The greatest possible difference between the total run time and the total of the track times is the number of tracks multiplied by 0.5 seconds (assuming that CD makers round to the nearest whole number of seconds). So if the actual difference is greater than this, then we can assume that there is an error in one or more of the times, and add a tracking category. What do you think? — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 11:35, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello!
I see that you were the creator of the module above, so I thought I'd bring this to you. I was looking at AIV this morning and clicked the WHOIS link on an IPv6 address and immediately ran into a problem. The module currently calls robtex.com for several functions for IP addresses. Robtex underwent a redesign a while back, and now it doesn't work nearly as well as it did in the past. However, the whois functionality is what I'm concerned with because it doesn't work at all for IPv6 addresses. I've recoded a few SPI-related templates and mediawiki pages to use https://tools.wmflabs.org/whois/gateway.py?lookup=true&ip=(IP address), and I was hoping that this module could be updated to use the same link. I don't know Lua, and probably wouldn't touch the module even if I did, so I'm hoping that you can take a look and see whether the change makes sense. Thanks for your time. — DoRD ( talk) 11:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Hey, Mr. Stradivarius
I am here to request an appeal to another administrator's action. I spoke to him; the long and short of it is, he refused to believe me or check my evidence. Besides, you have had past experience with this certain issue. Please allow me to explain.
You are certainly familiar with the anonymous person who harasses Codename Lisa by chasing her around Wikipedia ( WP:HOUND). You blocked one of his IP ranges. Administrators JamesBWatson, Bongwarrior, [[User:|Zzuuzz]] and Materialscientist blocked another. The request is about this malicious person.
On 20 July 2017, Codename Lisa reverted a poor contribution to the Microsoft Office 2010 article: [2]. It is my personal belief that this revert is justifiable on the basis of WP:V and WP:NOR. It is also the belief of another editor, AussieLegend, that the reverted edit was "clearly inappropriate". 12 hours after that, our malicious stalker, from the 2601:5c2:200:31ae:f15b:f5c2:8a8c:9212 IP, counter-reverted Codename Lisa.
How do I know this is the same malicious person? Two ways:
I will send you a full list of this person's previous IPs and the geolocation data.
8 minutes later, administrator Samsara locked the page with full protection, citing "content dispute" as a reason. He hastily accused both Codename Lisa and AussieLegend as uncooperative editors and asked them to take the issue to the talk page. I tried to communicate with Samsara at User talk:Samsara § Microsoft Office 2010 protection but he summarily refused to look at the evidence by saying he is not a CU! (Aparently, he is not aware that admin also have access to the geolocation tool.)
I argue that because this a case of harassment not content dispute, the full protection is unjustified. As such, I request the protection to be lowered and the disruptive revision by the malicious editor reverted. FleetCommand ( Speak your mind!) 18:14, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Visual Studio current page is mainly centered around the IDE, whereas we have a suite of products now to be factually correct like Visual Studio Team Services and some other VS products that we want to highlight to ensure there is no confusion.
Do you see a problem with this approach? I could provide examples if that helped.

Hello! I've been attempting to add more flexibility to the Portal:Current Events page in order to make it mobile-friendly. I have made some drafts for improvements. While most of the changes I've suggested have been to simple templates, working with the Module:Current events calendar is a bit more daunting. The major change I would like to make is on line 92. I would like to change the following line to (1) override the infobox float, (2) have a width that is more flexible (but not too flexible), and (3) to be centered in the column that it is displayed in:
:css{width = '250px', ['text-align'] = 'center', … }
:css{['float'] = 'initial', ['width'] = '100%', ['max-width'] = '300px', ['margin'] = 'auto', ['text-align'] = 'center', … }
There are other styling alterations that I'd like to make in the future, but these three changes would make the calendar fit well in the current desktop layout and prepare it for a future mobile-friendly layout as well. I would like to have your review of this one line of code change as you are the primary author of the module. I didn't not feel comfortable attempting to make a draft module for fear of making a change to the live module. If you could link me to a good HOWTO for putting a draft module page in place to work on, I would appreciate that as well. Thank you for your time. — RossO ( talk) 19:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm attempting to apply the lessons learned from the Events Calendar to the Calendar used on the Archive pages. If you compare Portal:Current events/June 2017 with Portal:Current events/June 2017/Sandbox you will see that Portal:Current events/June 2017/Calendar/Sandbox uses Module:Current events archive calendar. This updated version of Module:Current events calendar supports all of the existing Calendar functionality, but add support for a month and year parameter that creates an appropriate calendar for the requested month. Please let me know what you think of these updates. If you're happy with them, I'd like your support in having the Current Events Archive process use this module rather than the laborious copy/paste used today. — RossO ( talk) 17:30, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
currentEvents
function for the main current events portal, and a currentEventsArchive
function for the archive pages. That way, you don't have to maintain two separate codebases. In fact, I've been thinking for a while that it would be a good idea to make a generic calendar module that all the calendar templates could use. —

Stumbled across a interesting bug with your Rollback Confirmation script. I'm not even really sure you could call it a bug, actually. If someone using your script has the "After rolling back a user's edit, automatically open their contributions page" option selected in thier preferences, the script will run correctly, triggering the confirmation box. However, the contributions page will immediately open, causing the box to disappear and the rollback to happen with no confirmation. I'm not sure if there's a workaround for that besides including a warning below the existing warning regarding deselecting "confirm on mobile edits" in the preferences. Also... if this has already been addressed, I apologize for the duplicate. Operator873 CONNECT 01:36, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
