"Landing platform vessel" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Landing platform vessel and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 January 26 § Landing platform vessel until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Tim Starling (talk) 02:44, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Mick Lauer article

This seems to be meet all the criteria for moving to draft, only there was already a redirect. If there was only a redirect I would take it to RFD where it would probably be deleted. I don't know if it should be moved to draft including the first two redirect revisions of if it needs splitting. Peter James (talk) 11:09, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@Peter James, I ahead and draftify it if you want. You can then restore the redirect. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:32, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
I moved it to draft, and proposed to delete the redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 January 29#Mick Lauer. Peter James (talk) 12:33, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #557

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Events
    • A citation hunt program was organized for secondary school students at IIS School in Dubai as part of the 74th Republic Day celebration of India. 16 students participated, with different mother tongues and from different states of India living as expatriates in Dubai. The goal was to increase references for Wikidata statements based on research. The students were introduced to the importance of protecting India's history on the internet, and were taught how to edit Wikipedia and Wikidata. They were given a special event page on Wikidata with instructions and a list of Wikidata items to add citations to, and they searched for references in their textbooks and search engines to add to the Wikidata items.More details are given here.
    • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour January 30, 2023: The #1Lib1Ref campaign is afoot, so we will be working on adding references to Wikidata statements. We'll have some data for you to work with, but you're welcome to bring your own. We'll be mainly working with adding webpages as sources, but if you want to get experience using books or articles as sources, we recommend bringing some to the session to use as references for Wikidata items you have identified. You are, as always, welcome to bring your own project to work on Event page
  • Tool of the week
    • theyrule.net is a website that helps to explore the boardroom connections of the largest US companies.
  • Development
    • Wikibase REST API: The first version of the new API is released on Wikidata now \o/ We'd love to hear your feedback on what to improve next in the API.
    • Property Suggester: We updated the data for the Property Suggester so suggestions for new statements to add to an Item should be more in line with current Property usage on other similar Items again.
    • Fixed an issue with Item deletions not showing up on Wikipedia and co if they affect an article on that wiki (phab:T326082)
    • Vector 2022: Made it possible to add a new sitelink on Wikipedia and co in the new Vector 2022 language selector (phab:T310259)
    • Lua: Working on two new Lua functions, getDescriptionByLang (phab:T230839) and getBadges (phab:T305378)

Tech News: 2023-05

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

  • Last week, for ~15 minutes, some users were unable to log in or edit pages. This was caused by a problem with session storage. [4]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 February. It will be on all wikis from 2 February (calendar).

Future changes

  • Wikis that use localized numbering schemes for references need to add new CSS. This will help to show citation numbers the same way in all reading and editing modes. If your wiki would prefer to do it yourselves, please see the details and example CSS to copy from, and also add your wiki to the list. Otherwise, the developers will directly help out starting the week of February 5.

Growth team newsletter #24

Welcome to the twenty-fourth newsletter from the Growth team!

Newcomer experience projects

The Growth team partnered with other WMF teams to conduct several experiments around increasing account creation and new editor retention. Results from four of these experiments are now available:

Newcomer tasks

  • Several communities suggested improving "add a link", by suggesting underlinked articles first. We released this change to Growth pilot wikis. We will review the data and collect feedback before considering releasing it to more wikis. [5]
  • The deployment of the "add a link" to all Wikipedias is still in progress. Suggested links use a prediction model, which has to be trained. The deployments will resume after we finish training all models. [6]

Mentorship

  • When someone wants to signup as a mentor, they are now informed if they don't meet the defined criteria. [7]
  • Workshop hosts asked us to have workshop attendees assigned to them. They can soon use a custom URL parameter. This way, workshop hosts will continue mentoring the event's attendees after the workshop. It will be available in February. [8]
  • Have you considered to help new editors on your wiki, by signing up to be a Mentor?

Other news

  • In Special:SpecialPages, Growth experiments now have their own section. [9]
  • This newsletter will have a new publication period, 6 times a year: January, March, May, July, September, November.

Translations

  • Newsletter translation: We are looking for translators for this newsletter. If you are interested and have the needed English language proficiency to assist, then please add your name to this list. You will receive an invite on your talk page to translate the newsletter when it is ready.
  • Interface translation: You can also help by translating the interface, or reviewing translations to make them more inclusive. Interface translations are hosted at translatewiki.net.

Converting Wikidata redirects

You have doing a lot of replacement of {{Wikidata redirect}} to {{R with Wikidata item}}, such as this one at Erfüllungspolitik but I'm not sure this is correct. According to the template instructions at Template:Wikidata redirect/doc, "Wikidata redirect may be used on all redirects." Perhaps you should stop doing these, until it's clear that these changes are desirable. Mathglot (talk) 22:15, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@Mathglot, see Template talk:Redirect category shell#Restarting discussion on automatically sensing wikidata redirects. — Qwerfjkltalk 22:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

"Wikidata redirect should only be used on soft redirects."

I'm not really sure how {{Wikidata redirect}} and {{R with Wikidata item}} differ (they both fill the same category, it seems; is it just aesthetics to fit with other rcats?), but {{Wikidata redirect}}'s documentation does say While similar to {{Wiktionary redirect}}, that template is only used on soft redirects, while Wikidata redirect may be used on all redirects, so you may want to edit it/clarify the situation. eviolite (talk) 04:01, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

@Eviolite, see my response to #Converting Wikidata redirects. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:03, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

pywikibot

Hi. I have been using pywikibot since December 2021. I have had various experiences of many types. I saw your conversation on Novem's talkpage, and Discord as well. But your issues were solved by the time I saw them. Please feel free to ask any doubts/quires that you may face in the future. I am not an expert in pywikibot/toolforge, but have faced many problems, so I know many answers as well. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 06:59, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran, I'm stuck trying to login, as I mentioned on Discord. — Qwerfjkltalk 12:58, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
I thought it was resolved. I forgot how I did the installation on my windows setup (whether it was git clone from gerrit, or pip install like you did), but the high chances are I followed the steps from this older version of the guide. I checked the link on that older version, and it leads to toolforge, which seems to have latest version of pywikibot. So you would have to download, and extract it C:Users\<user>pywikibot, but before that you need to remove your previous installation. Then just to be sure, run C:\Users\<user>\pywikibot>python pwb.py version If the version command runs successfully, then the first step is done. In second step, you will need a Special:BotPasswords. Once you have botpass, run the command C:\Users\<user>\pywikibot>python pwb.py generate_user_files This will generate user-config.py interactively. If user-password.py is not generated, create it in same directory as of user-config. Your username, and other details go in user-config file, where as user-password would have only one line (in my case there are two lines, as I run two bots by two different usernmaes on two projects - en, and mr). The line should be tuple, here is my line for en: ('en', 'wikipedia', 'KiranBOT', BotPassword('<bot-name>', '<auto-generated-botpass>')). Regarding the login, you don't have to login from your script, you have to define a site then user-config logs you in accordingly. For example, if my script defines the the site as en.wikipedia, then I am logged in en credentials, in case its mrwiki, then its KiranBOT_II. You can download and run this script by Mz7 as it is for a better idea. Just change TABLE_LOCATION = 'Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SPI/Cases' to TABLE_LOCATION = 'User:Qwerfjkl/Sandbox'. Also, even if you already have a botpass, I would recommend to revoke the bot's permission to create new pages, in case you don't have botpass, keep the permission unchecked while creating botpass. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:43, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
more details of user-config on mediawiki. I recommend running the command, and then editing/customising the files per personal requirements/preferences. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:46, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, okay. I guess I'll try pip uninstall pywikibot or something. Does the pywikibot installation come with mwparserfromhell? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:41, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
I am not sure, I use the parser though. After installing the new pywikibot, try pip. If it's present it will say so, and skip, if not then it will install it. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:46, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, Where do I need to keep pywikibot relative to the script I'm running? E.g. if I have my script at FILEPATH, do I need the pywikibot folder at FILEPATH/pywikibot? — Qwerfjkltalk 17:42, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
I did some experimenting after reading your question. The script you want to run should be in the same folder/directory where pwb.py is located. You also need to be in the same directory on your command prompt while executing/running the script. Were you able to login? —usernamekiran (talk) 02:16, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, Yes, I got it to work. Now I just need to move it to Toolforge. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:02, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
if you got putty working, then moving it to toolforge wouldn't be difficult. I think I configured putty with toolforge after a month I started using the bot from toolforge. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, do you know how to update python on Toolforge? It says it's 2.7.16 on Toolforge, and I need python 3 for pywikibot to run. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:54, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't think we need to install python on toolforge. Which steps are you following? —usernamekiran (talk) 21:24, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
┌───────────────────────────┘
@Usernamekiran, I was just testing what happens if I run the code on Toolforge (via PuTTY). It gave a bunch of errors because the pywikibot code was written in python 3. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:57, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
what error are you getting? also what method did you use to set-up the pywikibot on toolforge? —usernamekiran (talk) 01:20, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, I got a syntax error. I just transferred pywikibot to Toolforge with WinSCP. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
it wouldn't work. You have to go through the steps provided here. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:13, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, okay. Should I install from Git or PyPI? — Qwerfjkltalk 07:17, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
git. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:20, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, well, that seemed to work. It says use
tools.TOOLNAME@tools-sgebastion-10:~$ toolforge-jobs run my-cool-job --command "$HOME/pwbvenv/bin/python3 $HOME/my-cool-script.py"
to run the script once. What should go in place of my-cool-job? An arbitrary name? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:11, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
yes, it is an arbitrary placeholder name, can be anything. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:55, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

How good are you with python? I am a little stuck with my current script. Would you be able to help me? —usernamekiran (talk) 22:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran, I'm fairly good. What's the problem? — Qwerfjkltalk 22:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Well, I have one working script, and I want to update it with a new logic/methodology. I have most of the work with the new script, but it still has some syntax errors, and some other minor flaws. Finalising the new script is not much of a work, as almost most of the coding has been done. It just needs to be re-arranged, and fixed. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, sure, I'm happy to help. — Qwerfjkltalk 22:29, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Can you please send me an email thorough wikipedia, then I can reply to it including my scripts attached. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:07, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran, done. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
