Possible Thursday weirdness

On a number of different browsers I'm experiencing difficulty aiming the mouse cursor when editing pages. It seems to be made worse by the length of the page being edited, and/or by increasing the zoom level in the browsers. Anybody else having this issue? Abductive (reasoning) 21:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I'm having this issue too. It seems like when I click, the cursor is placed several lines higher. As soon as I type something (I've started to just do space, backspace), it's not a problem anymore for that editing session. rchard2scout (talk) 13:48, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've been seeing this for quite a while using MonoBook on a Chromebook. In particularly long edit windows the visible cursor may be several lines above the actual edit point. - Donald Albury 15:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe what I am seeing is different. The horizontal cursor position is always correct. The further down I am in long chunks of text, the higher the cursor sits relative to the edit point. If I am editing far down in a block of text, the cursor may be three or four lines above the actual edit point, but as long as I allow for that, editing proceeds normally. - Donald Albury 16:54, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It just started a day or two ago for me. The edit window doesn't seem to interpret the location of the mouse-click properly. I have to use arrow keys to get the cursor positioned properly. It's also occurring when I try to click-drag to select text; on the first click (like at the start of a ref), it immediately highlights several lines of text above the click. It's happening frequently, but not consistently. Schazjmd (talk) 15:57, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've been experiencing this, too. (Courtesy ping @ElijahPepe) {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 23:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just had it—scrolling the edit window to the bottom with the mouse wheel was what made it go away this time—but I've encountered it sporadically for around a year now on Commons. —wqnvlz (talk · contribs);  11:05, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Let users easily filter tables?

Would it be possible to allow users to filter tables? I've seen some large tables and wished I could narrow what I'm seeing down. It looks like it's supported by the underlying software, assuming "BlueSpiceFoundation" is available.

Make talk page [ reply ] links disappear

I don't find talk page [ reply ] links helpful. If I need to reply, I edit the section. Clicking on the reply link generates an unfamiliar interface I don't want to learn. I need to make them go away for another reason. If I am editing a talk page to remove lint errors, I want to make sure that, except when necessary, I don't change the page appearance. So I use two browser tabs, one with the talk page and one with the preview of the edited talk page. I scroll through the tabs in parallel, and switch between the tabs to make sure that the appearance is the same. The [ reply ] tags hurt in two ways. First, they appear at the end of lines in the talk page tab but not the edit preview tab, so as I toggle between tabs, I see differences I need to ignore. Second, if the line was already full, they create a new line in the edit preview tab, and everything below the [ reply ] link is misaligned with the edit preview tab. Please provide a way to not have [ reply ] links on talk pages.

Also, just as section [ edit ] links do not appear on talk page archives, [ reply ] links should also not appear on talk page archives, for the same reason: we do not want users editing talk page archives, except of course for technical reasons such as fixing lint errors. —Anomalocaris (talk) 20:39, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Anomalocaris Preference -> Editing -> Discussion pages and uncheck Enable quick replying. That will disable Discussion Tools. Nthep (talk) 20:42, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Anomalocaris, @Nthep, @Thingofme, @Xaosflux: I can see your use case, but I think the Reply button is fantastic. You basically get an edit window. But when looking for lint errors, yeah, that's different. 73.127.147.187 (talk) 10:35, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion tools - edit summaries

Is it possible to use the tagging functionality of the discussion tools in page edit summaries somehow? - Klein Muçi (talk) 08:51, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Whatamidoing (WMF) who maybe can provide some more insight on this. - Klein Muçi (talk) 12:59, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Klein Muçi If you want to ping users in edit summaries, this is already possible. Just put something like [[User:Klein Muçi|Klein Muçi]] in the edit summary (I did it here) Rlink2 (talk) 13:03, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rlink2, yes, I know that, thank you! I just wanted to be able to put @ and then get a list of users of which to choose from as we add more letters from their name so I wouldn't need to write all that down manually. Maybe the said list could also start by suggesting users the edits of which have been part of the page history, like we currently get suggested names of users who have been part of a discussion with discussion tools. - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:08, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Klein Muçi when using these there is a "mention this user" button, which will populate the names in to the "content", would you want this button to just also be in the summary input box? For a temporary workaround, you can @ the users in to the content input box, then just cut/paste them to the summary box. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:11, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux, that would be a good workaround but I wasn't referring to talk pages in my cases. I was referring to edits or reverts in the main or in other namespaces. We usually want to communicate something to a user in the edit summary when reverting its edits or when working together with some other users to build help pages we may like to communicate something to them in the said summaries. Is the scenario more clear now? - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:22, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Klein Muçi oh OK, so not really about "Discussion tools" - you just want an auto-complete feature for usernames for the normal edit summary box? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:03, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux, yes, preferably one that behaves the same as the one in Discussion tools in regard to suggestions. - Klein Muçi (talk) 15:15, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, suggest you put in a feature request for this! — xaosflux ^Talk 15:44, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux, I would but I'm not sure if it should be connected with Discussion tools or be a feature on its own. (Or maybe I should just ask for a user script.) That was what I was mostly trying to find out with this discussion. - Klein Muçi (talk) 15:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When creating such a feature request, think of it primarily from a "user story" - what is it you want to be able to do - don't focus so much on "how" it will happen. Then, you can add comments about some possible ways it could happen or things like DT that are like it - but it won't necessarily be part of DT. — xaosflux ^Talk 16:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile Redirect short descriptions

Hi! I'm not sure this is the right place, but an editor has brought to my attention a mobile bug regarding mobile. See my talkpage section link(permalink) for a description of the issue, also described at his talkpage. I resigned to forget about this particular user(who seems rather nice), and just fix his legitimate accidents, which are rare. Then a realized I have now come across three such issues from another user( here for those who want to see the diffs). Again I'm not fully familiar with all the discussion boards, so feel free to move thisto an appropriate venue. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 11:13, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I will try to capture and upload a video of this bug in action later today. Thrakkx (talk) 11:40, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just say what the problem is rather than make people follow links whenever soliciting help. From your talk page:

Hi, I want to point out that I never intend to add short descriptions to redirects. What happens is a bug on mobile. When clicking on a redirect, the mobile device displays the content of the destination page, but the source code of the redirect. This means that when I edit the short description using the mobile app, it will add the description to the redirect. I cannot know when this happens without checking my edit history, or when you leave me what seems to be an automated message. Thrakkx (talk) 21:56, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Based on Thrakkx's contributions, it looks like they're referring to the iOS app, not Android. Nardog (talk) 11:49, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Links/Buttons for common js and css user pages

Is there a short way to access my common JS and CSS user pages without having to search for them first?

Speaking of that, is there a short way to access every sub-userpage I have without manually going through special pages to search for them?

And lastly, is there a way to add a new link at the top beside Preferences for a specific subpage of choice? - Klein Muçi (talk) 12:52, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are links to them in your preferences just below the skin selection. For subpages, see Special:PrefixIndex/User:Klein Muçi. For adding portlet links, you can do this with Javascript, see :mediawikiwiki:ResourceLoader/Core_modules#addPortletLink. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:59, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDJ, thank you! I didn't know about them being in the preferences. Any user script which makes them appear as links or icons in the top/sidebar? Asking more out of curiosity at this point. Not sure I'll use them that much as to further occupy that space. Maybe the same question can be asked for the portlet link now that I think of it.

As for the subpages, that was precisely what I didn't want to do. :P - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:20, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Klein Muçi See my userpage, where I've transcluded {{Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}} so I can have a list of subpages without having to manually search for them. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht, what am I doing wrong here? I tried all the available magic words related to the title. Or is it that it just doesn't work like that? - Klein Muçi (talk) 16:18, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Klein Muçi You need to either use {{NAMESPACE}}:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} or hard code Përdoruesi:Klein_Muçi. --Ahecht (TALK

@Klein Muçi Other than deleting them, no. --Ahecht (TALK

Autocorrection

Sorry for the open-ended question but does any part of Wikipedia provide any kind of autocorrection somehow? I am aware browsers (or is it PCs?) provide autocorrection while typing (mobiles too), for example, an article but beside that, does Wikipedia itself provide any kind of autocorrection feature in any possible way? For example, in Gmail I've had cases where my text has been autocorrected not only on typos but also semantically. Maybe, if not autodetection or autosuggestion or autocorrection, we have automatic ways of fixing typos after they have been saved? I have a somewhat vague understanding of a kind of autocorrection feature that AWB provides. Whatever information that may be provided in this aspect would be appreciated. I'm talking about text not linter errors.

The reason I'm asking is because in my homewiki every edit that is made needs to be reviewed first by our reviewers (Extension:FlaggedRevs) but being a small wiki we are always lacking in human resources so we try to get as much work done by automatic means. We noticed that a lot of edits that needed to be reviewed were actually vandalisms and edit filters turned out to be a tremendous help. Now we're noticing that a lot of edits that need to be reviewed are actually new users or unregistered ones (IPs) which are fixing simple typos. We unfortunately have to accept each of those edits one by one so we were hoping to either find a way to make people more attentive to their typos/semantics beside the default autocorrection browsers/PCs/mobiles provide when editing pages (autodetection, autosuggestion or autocorrection) or finding post-saved autocorrection features which don't need to be reviewed. It doesn't help that our language also includes two special characters [Ëë and Çç] which often get written as [Ee and Cc] even by Albanian speakers. These qualify as typos and there are times we will have to rewrite (or accept rewrites of) entire articles just because the original user didn't utilize those letters. - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:15, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The only supported way to change text "after it has been saved" is to publish a new revision, this is never done on the back end. If flagged revisions are overwhelming your editors, your project could turn it off (and apparently someone has been asking about this for 5 years at phab:T166017). There is not a spelling or grammar extension on any WMF wiki. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:49, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux, publishing a new corrected revision is not a problem on its own if the new revision is published by a bot or a confirmed user whose edits we don't need to review. That's what I meant above when I wrote that part. As for turning it off, to be honest I'd like that personally but I don't have the courage to overtake that step. The degree of vandalism would be far more unmaintanable than the review process. If you remember I've asked some time ago about a vandalism fighting bot but it turned out that the one you use here can't be user anywhere else because of the way it operates so... - Klein Muçi (talk) 16:23, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Customised api call in script

Hi all, I recently tried forking User:Evad37/ToDoLister.js so that it creates a single global to-do list with interwiki backlinks, before I try working cross-wiki. (See User:CX Zoom/Testjs1.js) It calls the api of the destination page's server in order to achieve this. I had hoped that I'd launch it as a customisable script that would allow the user to choose the destination site, say, for example "commons.wikimedia.org" instead of default "meta.wikimedia.org". But I failed to enable that even after trying many combinations along the lines of api: mw.ForeignApi('https://' + config.site +'/w/api.php'. Any help that'd allow me enable such customisation would be appreciated. Thanks! ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 19:54, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nardog's right. According to Special:ApiSandbox, there is no "edit" token. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 10:45, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CX Zoom: If I'm getting you correctly, just let the users declare the site themselves using JS (window.ToDoListerSite = 'commons.wikimedia.org'; etc.) or give them a special syntax (say, #ToDoListerSite = 'commons.wikimedia.org') that puts an hidden element with id into the todo page (<span id="ToDoListerSite" style="display: none;">commons.wikimedia.org</span>) to type in when prompted for comment. The script can then retrieve it before initializing the rest. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 14:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Buggy filters

I'm a WP:RCP, and I use the filter which sorts out possibly problematic edits and only shows them. However, sometimes, when I load recent changes, I see lots of edits that clearly AREN'T problematic (which is why I hate seeing "Dm" before an edit so much). When I check the filter menu to try and reactivate it, the filter's just gone. Literally. Gone. Not even if I search for it will it show. And the strangest thing is that it only happens to this filter and the bad faith filter. Why is this? (I'm asking again because i never got an answer to my first question on the help desk and I got redirected here. interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 21:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ottoman Empire flag

I can't figure out why the flags of the Ottoman Empire in the infobox at Crimean War no longer display, instead displaying a redlink of File:Flag of the Ottoman Empire.svg. I cannot see anything in the Commonns log or local log that would have suddenly caused the problem, and Template:Country data Ottoman Empire hasn't been modified recently. The correct image appears to be at File:Flag of the Ottoman Empire (1844–1922).svg, although the hundredss of incoming links to File:Flag of the Ottoman Empire.svg make me wonder if that's true or not. FDW777 (talk) 14:51, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was moved in September, 2020. File:Flag of the Ottoman Empire.svg is a redirect on Commons to the current filename of File:Flag of the Ottoman Empire (1844–1922).svg. I have no idea why the redirect is just now broken, however. It worked fine for 2 years AFAICT. --Jayron32 14:57, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lugnuts, Nthep - yes I did the upgrade and saw the 'pockets' reminder. I had checked the font which was Times New Roman 18 point, but I'll have another play around. I also noticed a few weeks back that both FF and Chrome were no longer showing a pop-up warning for closure of multiple tabs.

Yep, some of these options in FF can be buried away in the depths of their sub-menus! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 14:26, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Create a new <nodarkmode> tag?

Is it possible to create and store a new <nodarkmode> tag in sitewide css page, such that anything within this tag should get ignored by the dark mode gadget when used. Basically, I created User:CX Zoom/Pale Blue Dot and Dark mode gadget blackens the white text, and the text becomes unreadable. I'd be glad if I had a tag that asks the gadget to ignore the text. I don't know the technical details of it, but a module-based template that can achieve the same task would also work for me.

Declare H: as an alias for Help namespace

I think this one is long overdue. Instead of having some 675 redirects and zero articles in the mainspace which all start with H: (see PrefixIndex), I believe, it would be much better if H were an alias of Help, the way WP if for Wikipedia. This will allow to create Help shortcuts within the Help namespace, rather than the mainspace. Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • C • L)} 12:42, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
