If this isn't the correct place for me to ask, please correct me. I think there's a magic link that needs to be updated, but I'm not sure how that's done. The link is =osti and it goes to a retired product page. Can you help? Thanks. NLWASTI (talk) 21:30, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

  • Draft:Suicide of Rebecca Ann Sedwick (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I don't want to make the same mistake again but other than the sentence that you told me to remove is there any other sentences in my draft that need to be removed. In order for the draft to show a summary of the events leading up to her suicide. Do you want me to find more information using more references to find out about more events that led to her suicide. Please let me know what I can do to make the draft better. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Anonymous1941 (talk) 15:52, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

​ I'm not going to tell you every sentence that needs trimming; I don't have the time, and if I were to do that I'd just edit the draft myself. The key thing is to think about what's relevant, and what's an unnecessary amount of detail. Is the cutting important? Yes. Is the fact that she was pushed in the hallway after returning to school important? No. As I said in the decline, we don't need a blow-by-blow account of the events leading up to her death. Someone reading the article should be able to answer the following questions: was she bullied (yes), were there signs she was depressed (yes), what were the potential causes of her death (bullying, death threats, depression, etc). If they want more information about the incidents described, they will be able to read the references and learn more about how she was bullied. Obviously some amount of description is necessary, just not as much as you've provided.

I think you have plenty of information about what led up to her suicide, and should really focus on the "aftermath" - aside from reactions, what (if any) were the long-term affects this case had on public policy, laws, etc? In other words, why makes this death different? Why is it important to know about it? Primefac (talk) 17:07, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Iv'e tried my best to find information about how her suicide impacted laws and public policies and I changed the Reaction section of the draft to Aftermath and reaction. Are you able to take a look at that section of the draft and see if you approve the new information I added about the aftermath. Unfortunately quotes can't really be paraphrased.--Anonymous1941 (talk) 19:54, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Probably not in the next few days, but if you don't hear from my by say next Friday feel free to drop me a reminder note here. You can also ask for advice/assistance at the AFC help desk. Primefac (talk) 19:56, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

By the way you promised next Friday you would take a look at the Aftermath and reaction section of my draft and today is Friday so can you please take a look at my new information I have provided on that section. I would really appreciate it.--Anonymous1941 (talk) 21:50, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

It still has what I feel might be a little too much detail about specific events and circumstances, but the addition of material specifically related to the aftermath might be enough to overcome that - Articles tend to get edited/tweaked a lot more than Drafts do, since more people see them, so minor issues can always be dealt with later. Primefac (talk) 15:42, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I want to know your opinion whether this draft should be moved into article space or not. Please let me know.--Anonymous1941 (talk) 19:23, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I think it stands a reasonable chance of being accepted, but I do not re-review draft submissions and instead let someone else do the formal review. Primefac (talk) 20:20, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

By the way thanks for helping me out with fixing most of the issues. Without your help I would never have succeeded in finishing this draft.--Anonymous1941 (talk) 21:18, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Always happy to help :-) Primefac (talk) 21:28, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Kindly please help.

Hi greetings, Sir I placed a request in BRFA. I used pywikibot for the bot. You and other users gave advice to me that AWB is better than python for doing my bot's tasks. Now I realized that AWB is good and I would like to replace python with AWB. But I have some problems. I am using linux. Is it affect the bot's functions? Sir, when I place request for AWB, from which account I should do it? From my normal account or bot account? Kindly please help me.--PATH SLOPU ^(Talk) 06:21, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

You should probably apply with your main account, if only to get used to the interface before using it with the bot. Primefac (talk) 12:28, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Sir, I tried to install Wine from software centre and with apt-get. But I could't install it. Is there any alternatives? Please help.PATH SLOPU ^(Talk) 08:28, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I have no idea, I've never used AWB on Linux. You might want to try asking at WT:AWB describing the issue. Primefac (talk) 13:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

page creator

Hi. Would you please tell me who created Thiripuram? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thiripuram mentions a Mrgrockz created the article, but this cant be corroborated on xtools. —usernamekiran(talk) 15:17, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Mrgrockz created the draft page, which is why it's likely not showing up in the Articles section of their creations. Primefac (talk) 13:45, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the information. Yes, when i checked xtools, the default namespace was "main". After getting your reply, I ran the xtools again with all the namespaces. Thanks again. —usernamekiran(talk) 16:23, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Category:Former polities of the Cold War

Hi, I'm a little puzzled as to the inclusion of First East Turkestan Republic and Bukharan People's Soviet Republic in Category:Former polities of the Cold War as they were well before the Cold War. DuncanHill (talk) 22:36, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I didn't. I added it to Category:Former polities of the interwar period but I didn't change the edit summary (I did the Cold War cats right before the interwar cats). Primefac (talk) 22:44, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Ah, I'll be less trusting of your edit summaries in future then! DuncanHill (talk) 22:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

So will I! Primefac (talk) 22:49, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense - I didn't have a problem with the edit summary, rather the category - was just bemused about its addition. So no worries. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:05, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Coolio. I figured there would be some pages that were improperly categorised by the old template, but I figured "incorrect addition" was better than a page not being found because it wasn't in the proper category. Cheers, Primefac (talk) 01:25, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

PrimeBOT

Could you run PrimeBOT to remove draft cats in Category:AfC submissions with categories? On the category page its says to contact you to start the bot, and I'm too lazy to removed all the categories myself. L293D (☎ • ✎) 17:31, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

 Done. Primefac (talk) 12:54, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Could you start it again please? And maybe make it run automatically every hour/day/week since this category gets filled up very fast? L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:17, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for looking out.

I understand and have read WP:YOUNG, and can assure you I am safe, the only information I put on there is my age and hometown, where I currently do not reside. Not only that but I haven't visited that place in over 2-3 years. Thank you for looking out for me, I have been really safe over the internet and never give out for information that can harm me for years.

Looks like it got relisted on the 25th. Primefac (talk) 15:41, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes it was, but I fail to see a convincing reason to extend it. There’s a bit of disruptive history behind that AfD that I was hoping to avoid. How much longer does it have to run? ^{Atsme📞📧} 21:01, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Question

Do you use a script to handle AWB requests such as this? It looks like a userRightsManager edit summary, but AFAIK that script doesn't do that. Are you just doing it manually? Swarm ♠ 05:38, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

​ Totally manually. Primefac (talk) 12:55, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Breached

Looks like I've accidentally breached the PGM restriction by moving Kings (musician) out of the draftspace. Please remove me from the page mover group. Thanks. The editor whose username is Z0 09:28, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

If you've let this slide then thanks and I'll be more careful next time. The editor whose username is Z0 05:37, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

In a word, yes. I do appreciate the honesty, which is why I'm leaning in that direction. Primefac (talk) 11:09, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Template editor request

I see you put down guidelines 5 and 6 as 0 and 0. I have many request and I done many edits in sandboxes of protected templates. – BrandonXLF ^(t@lk) 14:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Yes, but no significant requests for protected templates, which is what the guideline calls for. Asking to remove an unnecessary #if statement isn't significant. Primefac (talk) 14:48, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

My requests for Module:time were significant. It ended up adding a lot of new functions to the module. – BrandonXLF ^(t@lk) 14:51, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough, I honestly forgot to check the module space (it's still a relatively new addition to the TPER guidelines). Primefac (talk) 14:52, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – September 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2018).

Administrator changes

None

Asterion • Crisco 1492 • KF • Kudpung • Liz • Randykitty • Spartaz

Optimist on the run → Voice of Clam

Interface administrator changes

Amorymeltzer • Mr. Stradivarius • MusikAnimal • MSGJ • TheDJ • Xaosflux

Guideline and policy news

• Following a "stop-gap" discussion, six users have temporarily been made interface administrators while discussion is ongoing for a more permanent process for assigning the permission. Interface administrators are now the only editors allowed to edit sitewide CSS and JavaScript pages, as well as CSS/JS pages in another user's userspace. Previously, all administrators had this ability. The right can be granted and revoked by bureaucrats.

Technical news

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour.
• Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example is article_text which is now page_title.
• Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is page_age.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee has resolved to perform a round of Checkuser and Oversight appointments. The usernames of all applicants will be shared with the Functionaries team, and they will be requested to assist in the vetting process. The deadline to submit an application is 23:59 UTC, 12 September, and the candidates that move forward will be published on-wiki for community comments on 18 September.

Protection level Template:Metadata Population DE-RP

Hi, could you reduce the protection level of {{Metadata Population DE-RP}}? I want to update it to December 2016 figures, but I can't. I have never seen vandalism on this template, or its siblings. Probably semi-protection should be enough. Markussep ^Talk 07:54, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Infobox country testcase

Hi! Totally no rush if you're not done with this, but if you're through with testing (as you commented you would be in our previous conversation here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Primefac/Archive_19#Template:Infobox_country/testcases), would you mind if I reverted back to the last version which doesn't cause it to show up in Category:Templates with missing files. No worries and I won't ask again if you're not, just was doing some cleaning and wanted to help reduce the cat if I could. Hope you're doing well, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 20:58, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

 Done. Thanks for the reminder. Primefac (talk) 21:09, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

WarnerMedia

Hey Primefac, it's me again, hope things are well. I've been going through all the articles that were using Time Warner/WarnerMedia template (almost done, few left) and changing them to AT&T. I was going to reply to the second user who had commented to redirect to ask them if they would now consider deletion once I had gone through them, the first user had already commented to "delete". Any chance you can open it so I can add my comment? I want to consolidate on the redirects and the template can always be created again in future, it's pretty much just a holding template with 4 dedicated templates set as a child templates. Please let me know, thank you Steven (Editor) (talk) 02:20, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

It's a valid redirect, so there's no reason to delete. Thanks for checking, though. Primefac (talk) 12:44, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Mahuika crater

You said:- "I'm not really sure what the point is, since the related article doesn't mention the crater, just that *this* comet might have been misidentified)"

The paper that included the retraction was published in 2002. How could it possibly mention a crater which was first proposed in 2003. As I already pointed out the comet was not misidentified, "the records of this comet were misunderstood". The point is, the 1491 impact date was suggested because of the published orbit of Comet 1491 II.

You said:- "Neither article says anything about the 1491 comet "not receding from Earth"; the closest is that it *might* be the progenitor of the Quadrantids"

I did not say "not receding from Earth". The referenced 2010 Goff paper says that the comet "was not observed by anyone near its computed closest approach date". You cannot see a comet when it is approaching Earth from the direction of the Sun, so the above comment applies when it enters the night sky, moving away from Earth.

The comet possibly associated with the Quadrantids is Comet 1491 I, a completely different comet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.198.47 (talk) 14:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of templates

Hello Primefac. I noticed that you declined my speedy deletion requests of a few Singapore election results tables because it wasn't a valid use of T3. My understanding was that if the template is duplicated by a hardcoded version of the same thing (in these instances, the wikitable was simply hardcoded into the article rather than in a separate template), then it was eligible to be used. I got a couple of hundred of these unused templates deleted in 2015 and 2016 with this rationale (the most recent was in 2017) and don't recall any being turned down. From what I can see there's been no change to the T3 criteria in that time. Cheers, Number 57 21:50, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

I can think of a few admins that don't care about what reason is used, they'll just delete anything with a CSD template. WP:T3 pretty specifically mentions that it needs to be a duplicate template. I have tried multiple times to get some sort of "Template PROD" system going, wherein an unused (or otherwise useless) template can skip the TFD process and be quietly deleted, but for some reason I cannot fathom, it's never gone through. Primefac (talk) 23:40, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

I'd support some kind of template prod if you were to repropose it. Perhaps it might also be worth proposing an amendment to T3 to reword it to cover all duplication (template or otherwise). What do you think? Cheers, Number 57 11:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Production codes for Bob's Burgers

I noticed your bot is adding production codes for articles of Bob's Burgers episodes, for example Human Flesh. What is the source for the production codes? Bright☀ 14:58, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Swimming at the 2014 South American Games – Women's 100 Meter Breaststroke

We briefly discused this move at User talk:Drmies#Move at Swimming at the 2014 South American Games – Women's 100 metre breaststroke. The AfD has been closed as keep. What's the best way to go about getting the page moved back to its former title? I don't do lots of page moves, so I'm not exactly sure what's needed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:26, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

There was no history at Swimming at the 2014 South American Games – Women's 100 metre breaststroke so you probably could have just moved over redirect, but since I was looking at the page I just did it myself. For future reference, though, if a move-over-redirect doesn't work for you (e.g. if there's more than one edit on the page) then either put {{db-move}} on the redirect or list it at WP:RM/TR. Primefac (talk) 22:31, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of this and the info on how these things are typically done. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:04, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Template questions

Hi Primefac, I've just made a small change to the documentation of {{Infobox football biography}}, per the discussion here. This is now reflected in the Usage section, but the previous text still appears in the TemplateData section. Is there something else that needs to be changed by a template administrator?

Also, a while ago, I suggested that {{signit}} be added to the TemplateSubster. As usage is low and the creator is no longer editing, there haven't been any responses to this. Do you think it would be OK to just go ahead or should I post the suggestion elsewhere? Thanks, Nzd (talk) 21:28, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
