Hi PiRSquared17! I hope this is not an inappropriate place to say hi. Hi! I've been offline for a bit. I'm back to trying to figure out the automatic page creation functionality for Wikicortex. Hope to see you around IRC or elsewhere. Project github https://github.com/robolobster/wikicortex, my home here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Robolobster. BTW where does Myhooks.php go? robolobster

Thanks, and regards, Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 18:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Global Rollback for me?
Since you have that, do you think I may get it too?--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:09, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Judging by Special:CentralAuth/Jasper Deng, I don't think you have enough experience with cross-wiki anti-vandalism. Maybe you could join the SWMT and watch . πr2 (t • c) 18:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm totally new to IRC. Should I get a nick?--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Registering a nick on IRC is recommended (see these instructions) and you may also wish to request an IRC cloak to prevent people from seeing your IP address. :) Good luck! Mathonius (talk) 02:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * OK... so, when monitoring small wikis, how hard is monitoring wikis in foreign languages? The only thing I have to show on that is en and fr-2.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:43, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As a ground rule, I only revert edits if I'm completely sure it's vandalism or spam. I don't think patrolling small wikis (or big wikis in foreign languages) is very difficult. Some types of vandalism are easy to identify, see for example: [//pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sin%C3%B4nimo&diff=prev&oldid=29861174 on pt.wikipedia], [//nn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Fox_and_the_Hound&curid=153621&diff=1999374&oldid=1999359 on nn.wikipedia] and [//es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guerra_de_la_Triple_Alianza&diff=prev&oldid=55990700 on es.wikipedia]. Besides that, there are always other users in, , and  who can help you if you're unsure. Mathonius (talk) 03:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Global Abuse Filter and beta labs
Hi,

The current policy on enabling extensions in beta labs is that such extensions must have a scheduled deployment date to a production wiki. That list is here: http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Software_deployments

One suggestion might be to create a labs instance of your own for experimenting with the Global Abuse Filter. Instructions to do that are at https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Another suggestion might be to contact our Editor Engagement project team. The place to start would be http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editor_Engagement

Translations on Foundation
Hi! I wanted to give you an update about the translations question. Sadly, I don't have an answer yet because our group meeting in which it was scheduled was cancelled. This means the topic was postponed, but I will bring it up early next week for sure. Sorry about that! heather walls (talk) 22:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks for helping. πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 22:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!
Much thanks for your help today, dealing with the Flow spam. Sorry it wasn't easier to deal with, but it did help re-prioritize this week's dev work! Best wishes, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 08:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Flow
Well, it's not so bad, I guess. I'll stop bombarding you with questions now. G'night. ~ DanielTom (talk) 00:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm certainly not the biggest fan of Flow, but I don't think it's horrible. It might help new users, which is what will really count. πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 00:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Note to person with whom I chatted on IRC
Hello, I have made some progress. πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 05:07, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

dash/edit summaries
When you edit (edit source), in the edit summary, if you click the (quick access) dash symbol, it appears in the edit summary (meaning, it continues to write in the edit summary section). This happens here, and on Wikiquote, and I guess on most other wikis as well. But on Portuguese Wikipedia this doesn't happen—if you click the dash symbol, even while typing in the edit summary, the dash appears in the article section. Do you see the problem? ~ DanielTom (talk) 13:46, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Compare MediaWiki:Edittools to pt:MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert.js. The English Wikipedia's version of this gadget (w:MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert.js) handles this correctly. Do you need me to investigate more? I think I have a good idea of what is causing the problem actually... πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 15:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I'm not well versed in scripting, but if you figured out the problem you can just tell me. :^) DanielTom (talk) 21:33, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

error
I can't see my contributions. When I go here, I get this message:
 * Internal error -
 * [c67aa924] 2014-03-14 20:51:56: Fatal exception of type MWException

Is it just me? ~ DanielTom (talk) 20:54, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reporting this, Daniel. :-) I already reported this yesterday, actually: 62634. The fix should be deployed on Monday. If you have a Bugzilla account, you may wish to report bugs there as well, instead of just telling me. πr2</b> (t</b> • c</b>) 02:03, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

About the review for my translation
I translated something here, e.g. Help:Contents/zh and Help:Extension:Translate/zh, why is there no one review them several days?-- Rhong Fu Talk 03:37, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * maybe nobody else is actively translating and reviewing Chinese here? You could contact someone who knows Chinese to review them if you want. <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 04:01, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Does it require admin or other special rights?-- Rhong Fu Talk 04:17, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * No, any user can review individual translations (translate-messagereview) or change group status (translate-groupreview). See Help:Extension:Translate/Quality assurance for more info. <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 04:27, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I know your meaning, but I think it is for general pages. Help:Contents/zh is different. You can see "46 changes in this version are pending review. The stable version was checked on 19 April 2014" in the top of the page and other pages doesn't have something like this.-- Rhong Fu Talk 04:41, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. I didn't know what you meant. I have granted you editor rights so your edits should be automatically reviewed in the future. <b style="color:#f90;font-family:Arial">πr2</b> (<b style="color:#0f3;font-family:Arial">t</b> • <b style="color:#03f;font-family:Arial">c</b>) 04:51, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Now I know it requires "validate" rights (i.e. Mark revisions as being "quality"). When need it, I would ask for your help.-- Rhong Fu Talk 06:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
