Merge of Review queue and Requests for comment

Hi. I've reverted your merge of Review queue and Requests for comment. I see them as distinct processes with distinct goals, so it doesn't make any sense to me why they'd be merged. I also couldn't find any discussion of this merge. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. --MZMcBride 20:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I merged them in respond to a then active mailing list thread. Looking back I think either could work, but right now neither is used. Most of that shouldn't be on-wiki anyway in my opinion. Bugs that should get done are filed on BugZilla, given an assignee (and a priority perhaps) and wait for execution, listing them on mw.org doesn't help anything. Ideas for extensions, that have been written, can be submitted to SVN and if WMF needs them, a bug can be opened to request installing it on WMF which means it will be reviewed first in CodeReview. Anyway, if you believe they are better apart, I can understand that approach as well. Thanks, Krinkle 13:50, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Extra buttons for new-fangled toolbar

Gday Krinkle. We talked in IRC last week about buttons for Wikieditor toolbar, and you said that you were working on stuff to make it easier for the technically (less|in)-competent like me to fathom how to do buttons. If I was meant to be looking somewhere for any works with regard to this, then I missed out on where to look. If there is nothing to see, that is okay, and I will await any forthcoming announcement with bated breath. :-) — billinghurst sDrewth 15:17, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey there,
Don't worry, you didn't miss it. I'll publish it on my Meta-Wiki scripts folder later tonight (thuss replacing the no-longer-optimally-working "insertVectorButtons"). Thanks for the reminder. Krinkle 15:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Done m:User:Krinkle/Scripts/InsertWikiEditorButton. Krinkle 21:30, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Purge action script

I left a note at Talk:Snippets/Purge action#Vector support? for you. It's related to m:Tech#Special:ListFiles. --MZMcBride 03:21, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. Replied there. Krinkle 11:51, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Menu-Tabs toggler

Hi Krinkle. I have the animation sorted now. But I'd love to hear your opinion on the script as a whole. It is now a gadget on enwiki, or you can import it from en:User:Edokter/MenuTabsToggle.js. What is left on my wishlist is to find out if addPortletLink has some callback functionality that I can hook into, as the only problem remaining is that portlet links added to empty portlets afterwards are not included. — Edokter (talk) — 12:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Have you seen my comment to r97381? --Fomafix 19:34, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I've seen it now. Fixed in rev:99935. Thanks! Krinkle 23:52, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Enhanced clock gadgets

Hi Krinkle,

I made some enhancements to the clock gadgets on french wikibooks :

• Add support for clockWithSeconds parameter in user script to show/hide seconds,
• Restart clock display at hh:mm:ss.100 (100ms within the next second) to avoid skipping some seconds display.

See :

• b:fr:MediaWiki:Gadget-UTCLiveClock.js
• b:fr:MediaWiki:Gadget-LocalLiveClock.js

As a friendly reminder, the workshop is being held being held in about 12 hours - 13 January, 2012 at 19:00 UTC - in IRC (#wikimedia-dev).

This workshop will be an opportunity to share information about changes in MediaWiki 1.19 that may require revisions to extensions or skins. Also an opportunity for developers to ask questions regarding extension development.

Look forward to seeing you in IRC.  :) --Varnent 06:18, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

API talk:Meta

Why did you deleted this page? KPu3uC B Poccuu 13:32, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I meant to blank the page not to delete it. Hereby restored. The reason I wanted to blank it is because your account was blocked on a Wikipedia site and blacklisted under "cross-wiki vandalism". When going through cross-wiki activity I came across this creation here on MediaWiki.org and it didn't seem to be very useful or sense-making. Anyway, restored it and left a note. Perhaps you can clarify the problem or confirm that it was indeed not a stupidity in the API ? Krinkle 22:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

What? I has never been blocked for vandalism on any of Wikimedia sites. I was 3 times blocked on Russian Wikipedia but never for vandalism and never on other sites. Please show me a log entry where I was blocked for "cross-wiki vandalism". KPu3uC B Poccuu (talk) 12:12, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Review request

Hi!

Could you please review my changes in the documentation about the (enhanced) toolbar customization? (to make sure I've used RL and dependencies correctly). Helder 15:06, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

BTW: maybe those changes are aplicable to m:User:Krinkle/Scripts/InsertWikiEditorButton.js? Helder 13:32, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I understand your change but I'm not sure it's right. I think it's the job of the WikiEditor to make sure it's enabled correctly and available depending on the user and/or site configuration. Checking this preference here and loading the module seems redundant and/or using undocumented or unintended "features". Roan and Trevor recommended and documented samples with checking for $.fn.wikiEditor to decide whether or not to execute button-adding code for WikiEditor and that seems to work fine. Was there any reason (other than precaution) for this change? On the other hand I can imagine race conditions where we might want to add buttons to the load queue before MediaWiki has started loading the WikiEditor. I'll get back to you on this one! Krinkle (talk) 15:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!

It was just for precaution, since its being recommended to always declare dependencies of scripts and gadgets...

I reverted part of you edit because of bugzilla:34594. Helder 15:44, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Delete

Hi, could you please delete this – test edit by anonymous user. Thanks, --Mikołka 17:29, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Version number

MediaWiki is now at MediaWiki 1.18.2, so can you upgrade Template:MW stable release number? Thanks! --Jeffw • (talk) 00:09, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Template:WikimediaDownload edit

Hi, In response to your recent revert on Template:WikimediaDownload (diff), I'd like to alert you that while the ExtensionDistributor is back, it still is only working with SVN and as a result Users will miss out on the new versions of these that are hosted on Git as well as be unable to download new extensions that are only hosted on Git, I myself have an extension that is only in Git.

I understand the problems with the direct link, but until the ExtensionDistributor is updated, don't you think we should leave in a link to download a snapshot from Git? Thanks. Khaled El Mansoury (talk) 11:47, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Git search

Hi!

I was wondering if there is any replacement for your tool which works with trunk version of MW, which is in Git/Gerrit? Helder 19:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I wanted to start on this a few weeks ago. But unfortunately, the Toolserver had HTTPS issues making it impossible to create a regular git clone of the mediawiki repository (TS-1369). Now that the main issue has been fixed, I can work on this. Krinkle (talk) 20:12, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Great! :-D Helder 21:09, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

getAllRights

Hi!

I saw this edit and was wondering if the list of rights is/could be made available for user scripts and/or gadgets. I ask because of this bug. Helder 13:23, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

As mentioned in the diff there, it is already possible in PHP for Core and Extensions. Hence the RL2 project didn't have to do anything for that. The Gadgets 2.0 project also needed this information in the front-end, but that's not on the task list because that is already possible in core as well:

• action=query & list=allusers & auprop = rights (other users)
• action=query & meta=userinfo & uiprop=rights (just current user)

I see the linked Github issue talks about not wanting to use an AJAX request. Well, that's not going to work. But you shouldn't be worried about that imho. Krinkle (talk)

Thanks. Do you mean not to worry about a new AJAX request or about checking "if the user has the 'delete' user right"? Helder 20:13, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

The http request. Krinkle (talk) 20:14, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
