Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Anomie. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions: Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort. A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard. Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! 💐

User:Anomie/unwatch.js

Hi. I think it would be nice to add support (unwatch buttons) for "Upload log" and "Deletion log" entries. --XXN, 21:19, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. Your script already has this feature; my bad. For some wikis I have installed User:Anomie/unwatch.js, for other - User:js/watchlist.js, I frequently "jump" from one watchlist on some wiki to another, it got me confused and I posted here. --XXN, 19:42, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Undated helper

Would it be possible for you to create an undated helper JS script similar to User:Anomie/unsignedhelper.js? — Gestrid (talk) 06:12, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

The only change would be the text of the template returned by the makeUnsignedTemplate function, and the word "unsigned" in a few places to match. Personally, I so seldom see undated rather than completely unsigned that I would just use the existing script and then update the resulting template manually. Anomie⚔ 10:47, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Question about the autosubst

Normally an editor can't subst a template found inside <ref>...</ref> tags, but I don't recall AnomieBOT having that issue. Is there a workaround it uses, or does it just not subst stuff in ref tags? Primefac (talk) 02:52, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

AnomieBOT doesn't subst by just adding "subst:" into the wikitext. It extracts the template invocation (which is generally smart enough to avoid <nowiki> and the like), adds subst: and |subst=subst:, passes it through action=parse with onlypst, replaces its own username and signature with the username and signature of the user who added the exact text of the template invocation (which unfortunately catches minor formatting edits and vandal reversions, but it usually works right for the few templates that include signatures), then injects the resulting wikitext back into the article in place of the original invocation.

The actual code is at User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TemplateSubster.pm, BTW. Anomie⚔ 13:09, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Awesome, good to know. Thanks! Primefac (talk) 23:49, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Protection level

Could you please change the protection level of {{Edit a taxon}} to allow template editors to edit it? I am very experienced with editing the taxonomy templates; I spend quite a bit of my time looking after them. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Anomie.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
