Topic on Help talk:CirrusSearch

The documentation for the gadget was adjusted and the help text updated.

The information about Deepcat (at the end of Help:CirrusSearch#Intitle and incategory) is outdated:

• The maximal search depth of 15 subcats should be added. By the way you get this info, as well, in a box below the search bar, but before search results.
• The information about embedding the CSS must be removed. de:Benutzer:Christoph Fischer (WMDE)/Gadgets/DeepCat.css is empty, and the edit comment tells us ”removed due to new structure”. The description, how to embed, is wrong, anyway (a JavaScript command won’t work in a CSS).

This applies to wikitech:Nova Resource:Catgraph/Deepcat, too. If someone knows, how to get active people there aware of this issue, it would be nice to tell them.

Thank you. I believe Phabricator task T156603 is the way to go. I hope they raise the priority to "unbreak now".

For new users I've updated the gadget source (and css) to point to User:Tobijat/Gadgets/DeepCat.js, but existing users will have to update there custom JavaScript.

@Cpiral:, now I noticed you changed the script source, too. Please, revert this part. The version of Tobijat tells us, it can only search up to 50 cats to a depth of 10 subcats, so it behaves differently. My request was only for removing the obsolete (and wrong) CSS embedding information.

Edit: Ooh, I noticed, I could change it on my own now. Some days ago it was not allowed for me to edit the English version … Seems I have reached a certain level of something I do not know.

But no, I think it would be better, if Cpiral would do the necessary change, perhaps by taking the comment of Perfektes Chaos (phab:T156603#2980853) into consideration.

Well, I’ve also answered on the Phab task, but let me mention here, too, that https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Christoph_Fischer_(WMDE)/Gadgets/DeepCat.js still exists. BTW: Thank you, Cpiral for bringing it up in Phabricator.

Solved for this help text.
