Watchlist emails[edit]

The latest version of MediaWiki will have the fix for the api, so I'll implement that some time this week. — Qwerfjkl talk 15:16, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Super! Primefac (talk) 18:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has rolled out now. I've added the filters (only show edits by bots) and removed the previous bot filtering code. Let me know if there are any bugs. — Qwerfjkl talk 16:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm, BN still seems to not be getting flagged, but otherwise... I guess things are working? I've cleared out my watchlist and I'll let you know in a few days if anything doesn't get caught that should have. Primefac (talk) 21:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Things seem to be working as intended. Primefac (talk) 16:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FionaMacaskill, not sure what you're asking (or why you're asking me). Primefac (talk) 19:45, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can just insert another SIM card (they are £1 each at every corner shop) or go to a shopping mall to find more open WiFi points. Primefac failed to stop my vandalism and just DDOS everyone using this IP range because of one vandal. I win you lose. 92.40.205.153 (talk) 11:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what "DDOS" means. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 12:14, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AfC reviewer issue[edit]

Several days after becoming an AfC reviewer, User:MKsLifeInANutshell approved the page Undisputed (video game). To put it simply the sources for this article are a mess, with almost all of them being either unreliable or dubious, which should have raised alarm bells or at least caused them to seek a second opinion. The game does have a source in a more reliable place, PC Gamer, but it wasn't even mentioned during the review or added to the article, which was approved as-is. I think this is indicative of a lack of knowledge of the notability criteria and the user may be jumping the gun in asking to approve articles. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look this weekend. Primefac (talk) 13:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eh... it's not the best article in the world, and even including the PC Gamer review looks to only barely pass GNG (if at all). For something that isn't even going to be released until October it probably should have been declined under "too soon" or similar, but for a new reviewer one or two bad reviews isn't necessarily something I would pull perms for. I suggest a note on their talk page expressing your concerns; they might be reasonably receptive to feedback. In other words, I do agree they're probably just looking at the number of references or not really jiving with what "significant coverage" actually entails.

Mr. Six Figures Twice[edit]

I MADE 200,000 EDITS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT

Huh, cool. Thanks for the shirt! (Still waiting on my functionary cardigan...) Primefac (talk) 11:47, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Piccadilly[edit]

Hi Primefac. What's your take on Template:Piccadilly? It seems the sole reason it was created has to do with Wikipedia:Piccadilly and was intended to function as sort of WikiProject banner; however, the MfD for the Piccadilly page looks like it's leaning towards a "snow delete". Would the template be eligible for speedy deletion or would it need to go to TfD if the MfD is closed as "delete"? -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:11, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's a simplified WikiProject banner. I would say that if the "Project" gets deleted, the template can reasonably by deleted under G8 (since there will be no project for it to notify people of). Primefac (talk) 11:49, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:00, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else nominated it for deletion at TfD; so, it will be resolved one way or another. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:49, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
