UserRightsManager

The name of the userRightsManager gadget has changed, so some users may have the tick turned off. It may be necessary to re-enable it in the preferences. LisafBia (talk) 13:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

We encourage bureaucrats, if you have last edited before June 2024, to re-enable its preferences. This user  supports this decision. Tailsultimatefan3891 ^talklogs_contribs 20:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Inactivity for AFAs

Should inactivity for AFAs be measured in regular terms, or should it be measured by the last time an abuse filter was modified by an AFA, or perhaps even the last time a filter was modified to use a restricted action or a restricted filter was modified? I'd like to know consensus on this before I go and modify the inactivity policy. Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

I would choose when the last time some AFA modified a regular abuse filter (without restricted actions). Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 02:18, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

We don't have a bot for it yet? That checks for inactivity? Justman10000 (talk) 16:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Nope. It's a manual process. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Would be at least 3 months at least I can suggest. Tailsultimatefan3891 ^talk_contribs 12:46, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Suppression Reports

Not sure if this was ever officially announced, but you can go to Special:Report/REVID to report a revision that needs suppressed. X (talk + contribs) 21:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

When I installed the extension, I announced it on Discord, but never made an announcement here. *facepalm* Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

*sigh* *ahem* I agree on this feature. Tailsultimatefan3891 ^talklogs_contribs 21:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

You’re fine, no problem! X (talk + contribs) 21:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

It's also included in the newsletter :) The AP (talk) 15:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Welcoming users

Translations into Chinese

Hi. I've been doing some translations lately and was wondering which variant of Chinese to translate to. Currently most pages are translated into regional dialects, such as zh-cn and zh-tw. What I think would be better is to translate only into zh-hans (simplified Chinese) and zh-hant (traditional Chinese) in order to reduce redundancy, as all Chinese dialects use one of the two character systems. Any thoughts? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Well I think you should translate into the more popular dialect The AP (talk) 12:01, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Honestly, I think that we should only do the two main variants of Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). Regional dialects complicate things.. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I lightly and honestly will  oppose reducing the variants of Chinese. Tailsultimatefan3891 ^talklogs_contribs 21:25, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

For what reason? Regional dialects can be broken down into the two main dialects of Chinese. Justarandomamerican (talk) 20:20, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

For some reason, variants of Chinese may be spoken may be many people, such as some people may speak a partial of Traditional and Simplified Chinese, they are multiple dialects of Chinese, 3 dialects of Chinese may be said by a person while others speak mainly only 1 dialect.

Good afternoon, everyone.
I request a vote on the following proposal: When a bot is created, [[User:Sav/Templates/Emergency-user-block|this]] template could be automatically added to their user page. The process would check for accounts with the 'bot' permission and confirm whether or not the user page has content. If it does, the template would be placed at the top; if it doesn’t, the template would be placed regardless. The template is a quick and easy way to block bot accouts that may not be functioning properly. Thank you for your consideration. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 15:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Special:PageLanguage enabled

Multiple groups have the pagelang permission, but the page wasn't enabled until I set $wgPageLanguageUseDB to true. You can now change page languages. The default is still English. Justarandomamerican (talk) 22:24, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Rename

Steward can rename rafdodobot on DodoBot please. Thanks --DodoMan (talk) 19:01, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Gadget-OnlineAdmins.js edited

OnlineAdmins.js has been edited slightly to reflect formatting, you may need to reinstall this gadget. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 03:09, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

There has been one final change to the code, please reinstall this gadget to reflect the changes. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 06:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I honestly think we should just replace this with mw:Extension:WhosOnline. Tsukushi (talk) 07:32, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
