CrystalBot tasks

edit

Hi @Stang,

I just noticed Tasks 2A and 2B where getting actioned and didn't see what when I actioned the rights requests as it was added as a note after someone's support. Are these redirect actually needed anymore, The search function should now be picking up these mentions in text (this wasn't always the case back when that bot request was originally discussed).

AdminBot actions

edit

@Stang,

Also just checking if there is any consensus for running group changes like this 04:38, 31 July 2022 Stang talk contribs block changed group membership for DMontalion (WMF) from autopatroller to (none) (Bot: -autopatroller, no longer working for WMF) (thank) on your main account? These accounts all get globally locked so there isn't any need to remove the rights automatically. P858snake (talk) 22:09, 30 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for flagging my page Discussion extensions for deletion one minute after I created it with the very nice comment "looks useless". It's really nice to know that my contributions are appreciated here :) push-f (talk) 13:01, 21 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Request for feedback on the Translation Notifications extension

edit

Hello,

I’m Abijeet Patro. I’m a software developer in the Language team at the Foundation. I work on the Translation Notifications extension. I’m reaching out to you because you’ve previously used the extension, and we’re looking to gather feedback on how the extension can be made more reliable.

You can leave your feedback on a thread that we’ve started on the Babylon talk page.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

T321111

edit

Hi @Stang, I am contacting you regarding ticket T321111, Why put a value for wgSemiprotectedRestrictionLevels? I noticed that it causes a minor problem with translation messages (Semiprotectedpagewarning) in arwiki, It appears in Notes as a protected page for autoconfirmed users only Although it is a protected page for editeditorprotected or editautoreviewprotected, So should I delete the wgSemiprotectedRestrictionLevels value in arwiki so that a translation message (Protectedpagewarning) is used? -- Gerges (talk) 11:34, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
