You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025. Your current IP address is 44.200.59.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Hi GreenC,

I just want to thank you for all your help you have provided in the past few days on some of my articles. You make some good points about notability and significant coverage. Your assist with my edit requests is also appreciated. You also have a great way with words.

I forgot to follow-up to the update at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thailand/Archives/2023#Update]]. File URLs with the prefix http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/, which went dead earlier last year, were brought back, but some I think remain unarchived. What is the procedure for getting the archive bot to cover them? --[[User:Paul_012|Paul_012]] ([[User talk:Paul_012|talk]]) 10:09, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

:In theory the WaybackMachine keeps crawling dead links over time if they come back alive it picks up automatically. You could test this theory by finding an example previously-dead link and checking the WaybackMachine. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 15:22, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|175px]]
Hello GreenC!
* The [[WP:NPP|New Pages Patrol]] is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
* We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers#Guidelines for granting|guidelines for granting]].
* Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
* Kindly read [[WP:NPP|the tutorial]] before making your decision, and feel free to post on the [[WT:NPPR|project talk page]] with questions.
* If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider [[Wikipedia:PERM/NPP|'''applying here''']].
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

== Wayback Machine sustainability assessment ==
Hello, I am [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/User:NanoLuuke NanoLuuke] from Wookieepedia. I am reaching out to you because our editing community has expressed concern regarding our own reliance on the Wayback Machine. For context, much like Wikipedia, our own policy requires the inclusion of archival links (with around 1/6th to 1/5th of our 188000+ pages using web citation), and we use massively the Wayback Machine in this regard. Concerns have emerged from the earliest stages of the [[Hachette v. Internet Archive]] case, and with the publication of a recent [https://jacobin.com/2024/02/internet-archive-free-knowledge-authors article] by the ''Jacobin'', I'm seeing more and more editors worried that we could lose access to the Wayback Machine in the future. While I'm personally not currently feeling the same level of concern as my fellow editors, I do recognize that properly assessing the ongoing issue is a reasonable thing to do, at minima to appease the worried editors, and if worse must come, to prepare whatever steps we will need to circumvent the possible loss of the Wayback Machine's archives. That is why I wanted to reach out to you, since you seems one of the most knowledgeable editors on Wikipedia regarding web archives. I'm interested in your personal opinion on the matter, and I would also be interested if you could point me toward relevant talk pages if the Wikipedia's community as started discussing the issue. Thanks. [[User:NanoLuuke|NanoLuuke]] ([[User talk:NanoLuuke|talk]]) 13:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

:Hi, the only thing I am allowed to report about that case, is to point you to this blog post: [https://blog.archive.org/2023/08/17/what-the-hachette-v-internet-archive-decision-means-for-our-library/ What the Hachette v. Internet Archive Decision Means for Our Library]. This is the official and only response for the public. I notice the words "Wayback Machine" appear nowhere in that post. It says "The lawsuit only concerns our book lending program." It says "Separately, we have come to agreement with the Association of American Publishers (AAP).." (ie. an agreement has been reached). It says "Our library is still strong, growing, and serving millions of patrons." It says "Because this case was limited to our book lending program, the injunction does not significantly impact our other library services." It further says 'Regarding the monetary payment, we can say that “AAP’s significant attorney’s fees and costs incurred in the Action since 2020 have been substantially compensated by the Monetary Judgement Payment.'" I hope this helps. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 16:19, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

[[File:Farm-Fresh scripts text.png|20px]] <small>Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script [[Wikipedia talk:Scripts++|here]]!</small>

{{columns-start|num=3}}
===[[File:Cscr-featured.svg|20px]] Featured script===
: '''[[User:SD0001/Making user scripts load faster|Making user scripts load faster]]''' by '''[[User:SD0001|SD0001]]''' is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from [[WP:US/L|the US of L]]. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

===[[File:Farm-Fresh error go.png|20px]] Newly maintained scripts===
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
* [[User:Aaron Liu|Aaron Liu]] has created [[m:User:Aaron Liu/What redirects here.js|What redirects here]] from [[User:Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere.js|Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere]]; {{their|Aaron Liu}} fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.
* [[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] has created [[User:Ahecht/Scripts/TemplateSearch|a fork]] of [[User:SiBr4/TemplateSearch.js|SiBr4/TemplateSearch]], which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
* [[User:AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast.js|AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast]] is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
* [[User:Mesidast/Tidy citations|Mesidast/Tidy citations]] is a fork of [[User:Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations|Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations]] is a fork of [[User:Waldyrious/formatcitations|Waldyrious/formatcitations]]. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager|Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts|Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]] and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks|Bradv/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer|Elominius/media timer]] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js|PrimeHunter/Search sort]]. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
* We want...
:* ...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix [[CAT:BROKENREF]]s, preferably a fork/addition to [[User:TheJJJunk/ARA|TheJJJunk/ARA]]
:* ...a fix/fork of [[User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js|DannyS712/SectionRemover]] to make it work

===[[File:Ambox clock yellow.svg|20px]] Requested scripts===
* A simple script to second or archive [[WP:proposed deletion|proposed deletion]]s
* A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like [[:File:Automatically expanding sections in the TOC (Vector 2022).webm|this demo]]
* A [[WP:3O]] response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
* A byte filter to be split from [[:pl:User:Nux/LongTableFilters.js|Nux/LongTableFilters]]
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]

{{columns-end}}

===[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px]] New scripts===
<!--The current convention is to use the [[Example/ScriptName]] notation for scripts added by someone other than the script author and [[Example]]: [[SciptName]] for scripts the author adds themselves. Of course, you are always free to ignore all rules.-->

*[[User:DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks.js|DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks]] add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in [[wp:edit filter|edit filter]]s.
*[[User:Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script|Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script]] adds an option to use [[m:Web2Cit]] (which [[WP:ProveIt]] also uses) instead of [[mw:Citoid]] to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm|Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm]] stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-12-24/Crossword|the Signpost Crossword]]! Oh, the humanity!
*[[File:CopyVio detector, Adiutor.png|frameless|right]][[User:Doǵu/Adiutor|Doǵu/Adiutor]] ''(pictured)'' provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
*[[File:Eejit43's redirect-helper script demo.png|right|frameless]][[User:Eejit43|Eejit43]] has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in [[TypeScript]].
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/afcrc-helper|/afcrc-helper]] is a replacement for the unmaintained [[User:Enterprisey/AFCRHS|Enterprisey/AFCRHS]] and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/ajax-undo|/ajax-undo]] stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper|/redirect-helper]] ''(pictured)'' adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by [[User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper.json|/redirect-helper.json]].
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/rmtr-helper|/rmtr-helper]] helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
*[[File:User Info Popup screenshot 1.jpg|right|frameless]][[User:Guycn2/UserInfoPopup|Guycn2/UserInfoPopup]] ''(pictured)'' adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
*[[User:Jeeputer/editCounter|Jeeputer/editCounter]], under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
*[[User:Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks|Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks]] converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
*[[User:Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable|Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable]] highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.
*[[File:FormattedEditRequest-in-work.png|frameless|right]][[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest|NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest]] ''(pictured)'' generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
*[[User:PrimeHunter/Category source.js|PrimeHunter/Category source.js]] adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
*[[User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massCFD|Qwerfjkl/massCFD]] creates mass [[WP:CfD]] nominations.
*[[User:Rublov/refspace|Rublov/refspace]] highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
*[[User:Sophivorus|Sophivorus]]'s [[mw:MiniEdit|MiniEdit]] adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

====Edit-listings====
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks|Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks]] adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
*[[User:Firefly/more-block-info|Firefly/more-block-info]] optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
*[[User:Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs|Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs]] adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
**[[User:Nardog/ExamineMore.js|Nardog/ExamineMore]] makes it so the paging at [[Special:AbuseFilter/examine]] actually works, pending a fix to {{Phab|T292764}}.
*[[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader.js|NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader]] makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

====Appearance-ricing====
*[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht/RedirectID]] adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the [[WP:NAVPOPS]] haters. (Do these exist?)
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal|Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal]]: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
*[[User:GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink|GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink]] replaces the [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|reply|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?{{jokes}}
*[[File:En.WP VPP Screen Shot 2024-01-13 with custom CSS.png|frameless|right]][[User:Jonesey95/common.css|Jonesey/common]] ''(pictured)'' has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
**[[m:User:Aaron Liu/v22.css|Aaron Liu/V22]] is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
*[[User:Nardog/SmartDiff|Nardog: SmartDiff]] is a spiritual successor to [[User:Enterprisey/fancy-diffs|Enterprisey/fancy-diffs]]. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
*[[User:Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC(Vector2022)|Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022)]] reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
*For the paranoid: [[User:Rublov/anonymize|Rublov/anonymize]] replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that [[WP:HOLIC|editing is an honor]].
*[[User:Sideswipe9th/V22FloatingToolsMenu|Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu]] moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
*[[User:Sm8ps/SectionEditing|Sm8ps/SectionEditing]] makes pressing {{key press|Tab}} toggle the visibility of the tiny [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|edit|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
*[[User:The wub/tocExpandAll.js|The wub/tocExpandAll]] adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

====Permissions required!====
*[[User:Ahecht/Scripts/potd-helper|Ahecht/potd-helper]]: A script to <em>post</em> the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.
*[[File:Selective Rollback dialog.png|right|frameless]][[meta:User:Dragoniez|Dragoniez]]
**[[meta:User:Dragoniez/AjaxBlock|/AjaxBlock]] provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
**[[meta:User:Dragoniez/Selective Rollback|/Selective Rollback]] ''(pictured)'' provides a dialog box to customize [[wp:rollback|rollback]] edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
*[[User:Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter|Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter]] automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

====QOL shortcuts====

*[[User:BrandonXLF/SVGEditor|BrandonXLF/SVGEditor]] lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
*[[User:DanCherek/UAABotRemover|DanCherek/UAABotRemover]] adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from [[Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention]].
*[[User:DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage|DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage]] helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
*[[meta:User:ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js|ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js]] adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with [[commons:Special:MyLanguage/User:Jack who built the house/Convenient Discussions|Convenient Discussions]].
*[[User:Isaacl/script/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard|Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard]] does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
* [[User:FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus|FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus]] adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
*[[User:Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole.js|Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole]]: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another {{Button|Clear}} button on top of the Lua module debug console.
* [[User:Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink|Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink]] adds a link to [[metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist]] next to the normal watchlist.
*[[User:Nardog|Nardog]]
**[[User:Nardog/PasteToCommons|PasteToCommons]] adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
**[[User:Nardog/Unpipe.js|Unpipe]] tries to detect violations of [[WP:NOPIPE]] and fix them as much as possible.
*[[User:Ohconfucius/script/tometricunits|Ohconfucius/tometricunits]] automatically adds unit conversions of [[United States customary units|imperial units]] in brackets after their uses per [[MOS:UNITS]].
* [[User:Suntooooth|Suntooooth]]
** [[User:Suntooooth/flickrsearch.js|/flickrsearch]] adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
** [[User:Suntooooth/randomincategory.js|/randomincategory]] adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category. 
* [[User:Vghfr/EasyTemplates/Easytemplates|Vghfr/EasyTemplates]] adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{tl|fix}} templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

== [[User:GreenC/BotWikiAwk]] ==

I'm going through your instructions, since they appear the easiest to get started with a bot.  Thanks for creating them! Should I ask questions here or at the yet-to-be-created red-linked [[User talk:GreenC/BotWikiAwk]]?  I'll ask here for now...
:
I know that Toolforge recently changed.  I'm hoping that won't be a problem.  I already observed that the page [[User:GreenC/BotWikiAwk/Toolforge]] says:
::'''Deprecated''' - Toolforge no longer has a Grid, as of December 2023. These instructions are outdated. A future version of BWA that supports Toolforge concurrency will be forthcoming.
Fortunately, I am new to Toolforge, so I won't bother with trying out the old system.  ;)
Questions/comments so far:
:
(1) I'm at [[User:GreenC/BotWikiAwk#Setup]] right now using SSH login to Toolforge.  So far so good.
One line that confused me was that I thought "/home/adminuser/BotWikiAwk/lib" should be typed exactly, but I believe "adminuser" is ''my username''.  It might be helpful to make that clear in the instructions.  
About to try that.
:
(2) Where it says:
::* Add BotWikiAwk to the PATH eg.

Why does is say to log out and log back in?  If I log out, doesn't that ''clear'' the variables?  I am planning to add it to my .bashrc (or possibly .kshrc or .zshrc [whatever that is]).  I haven't used UNIX in about 30 years, so it's only slowly coming back and new features have been added!  
<u>Oh, I believe I see the problem.</u>  I think you mean it should be added to the .bash_profile just like the other one rather than from the command line...  If that line was indented, I think it would be less confusing...

:Well, if your intention is to use it on Toolforge instead of on another computer (home etc.), then I don't know what to do because they recently changed to using containers (in December) and you need to make a custom container since there is no container available for shell tools (that I am aware of)- and I don't know how to make one. If you do install on Toolforge, the PATH will be to wherever BWA was installed, use the 'pwd' command to check. The setup instructions are really for installing anywhere ''except'' Toolforge. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 14:50, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I saw your post on Materialscientist's talk and started tracking this problem yesterday. I've just blocked 2.45.126.120 for a month following an edit they made, and will do the same for any similar edits from the same vandal that I come across. Feel free to ping me if you spot any others. Nice to do something different for a change :) &nbsp;—[[User:Smalljim|Small]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|jim]]&nbsp; 17:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

== Your edit on my talk page ==

Hey GreenC, about a month ago, I added the template to indicate a user is deceased to my talk page in anticipation of my suicide, which you removed with a fairly insensitive edit summary. I unfortunately survived the attempt, but in the future, please don't assume in bad faith that users would facetiously use that template for "retirement." I understand that you probably run into that situation more often than an actual death, and I also acknowledge that my own edit summary was not very specific (though it should be obvious why I might've wanted to keep the details under wraps), but just remember that there are human beings behind the usernames. I will also do my part and not reuse the template again for future attempts; rest assured I had read the guidelines about using the template beforehand, though it seems I misunderstood something. Anyway I've seen some of your contributions elsewhere on the site and they're always constructive, keep up the good work. --<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-weight:bold;">[[User:Nsophiay|Nsophiay]]</span> ([[User_talk:Nsophiay|talk]]) 02:16, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

:Thank you for explaining the situation. Using the template for oneself could constitute a threat of self harm, which is governed by [[WP:SOS]]. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I am going to close this thread.

== Best practice on archive link ==

Hey GreenC, quick Q - if I look at an old article that has been archived on the Wayback Machine, usually there are many versions over several years. What's the best practice in terms of picking up which link to include in a reference on Wikipedia? I am assuming in this scenario that any version would do for the purposes of providing a reference (i.e. the changes are minimal, if any, from one year to another). Thanks! --[[User:Molochmeditates|Molochmeditates]] ([[User talk:Molochmeditates|talk]]) 20:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Link rot/URL change requests/Archives/2024/May#webcitation.org]]: non-techie, possibly cheeky question ==

Hi GreenC: I've seen your bot updating several of my articles over the last few weeks and fixing links to WebCitation.org – many thanks for running this useful tool.  Over the years while researching stuff for potential future articles, I have compiled a list of webpages I have archived for possible future use (off-Wiki, on a spreadsheet).  Unfortunately, in some cases – back in the days when I was using WebCitation and it was working properly – I only saved the "short" link (e.g. {{xt|www.webcitation.org/6EBcbrCbU}}), so I no longer know what the full URL was and therefore cannot look for it in other archives or see whether it is still a live page.  Do you by any chance have a way of running your code across this list, if I provide it to you, and determining what the full URLs are, and potentially linking to an alternative archive site if the URL has been archived elsewhere?  I'm not very technically minded so I have no idea if that is even possible!

Hi there!

Example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Femtocell&diff=prev&oldid=1237831208 in this ref] a doi was present, so I could easily remove the dead link and run citation bot on only the doi.

===[[File:Cscr-featured.svg|20px]] Featured script===
: '''[[m:User:Ponor/inline-diff-inline-patrol|inline-diff-inline-patrol]]''' by '''[[m:User:Ponor|Ponor]]''' is this edition's featured script. By loading diffs inline on every page that shows a list of changes, it implements the 2023 community wish [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Inline diffs and inline patrol]]. Hopefully we won't need this script anymore soon, with the WMF's [[m:Community Wishlist Survey/Wishlist Survey Audit 2023|focus on the backlog]]...

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager|Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts|Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]] and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks|Bradv/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer|Elominius/media timer]] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js|PrimeHunter/Search sort]]. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
* We want...
:* ...watchlist notices support for [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix [[CAT:BROKENREF]]s, preferably a fork/addition to [[User:TheJJJunk/ARA|TheJJJunk/ARA]]
:* ...a fix/fork of [[User:DannyS712/SectionRemover|DannyS712/SectionRemover]] to make it work

===[[File:Ambox clock yellow.svg|20px]] Requested scripts===
* Automatically delink all duplicate links within the same section per [[MOS:LINKONCE]].
* Collapsible parentheses in body text, which had [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests#Collapsible parentheses in body text|a ridiculously long original request title]] and was accidentally moved to [[WP:US/L]] by me. Oops!
* An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on [[Celeste (video game)]].
* [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests#Mobile edit preview|Preview an edit under the mobile viewport on desktop]], with perhaps [[MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar.js]] used for inspiration. 
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]. [[User:Jeeputer|Jeeputer]] and [[User:Nardog|Nardog]] have been the most active on the page in the past five months.

* In our continuing trend(s?), [[User:DaxServer/DiscussionCloser|DaxServer/DiscussionCloser]] forks [[User:DannyS712/DiscussionCloser|DannyS712/DiscussionCloser]] to make it work. Sadly, this is the end of our lexicographic combo.

** [[User:Andrybak/Scripts/Archiver|Archiver]] is a fork of [[User:Enterprisey/archiver]] with automatic calculation of the destination archive subpage and with support for non-Vector skins.
* Quite coincidentally, [[User:Elli/OneClickArchiver|Elli/OneClickArchiver]] has been forked from [[User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver]] to work with the [[mw:Heading HTML changes]].
* [[User:FlightTime/OneClickArchiver|FlightTime/OneClickArchiver]] forks the same thing but also no longer nonsensically prepends {{tl|clear}} to page archives.

== How do I request a rerun of the bot to tag completely uncited articles? ==

Hello @[[User:GreenC|GreenC]]

Am I right that this very useful bot was last run in 2019? Can you tell me what are the possible parameters and how do I request a rerun either with the same or different parameters?

One reason I ask is because (after some discussion about PROD and AfD on my talk page) I am curious to know how many completely unsourced articles have not yet been tagged as such. My ability with stats is very weak so I am unable to estimate it from the fact that a few hundred are being tagged (I presume manually) each month.

Also there are now no known articles of interest to the climate change project which are completely unsourced. If you can help me find any more I hope to fix them. [[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1|talk]]) 12:12, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

:It was [[User:GreenC bot/Job 11]] (noref bot). This was a very touchy bot with tons of edge cases to account for. It tagged about 10,000 pages. It's been 5 years, so it would probably require a lot more work before it could safely run again, to account for changes on Wikipedia since 2019. Not sure I have the time to figure all that out again it took weeks of testing. Probably not something anyone but myself could run safely. It would probably be only a few thousand pages. Really instead of more tagging, dive in to help resolve pages already tagged: {{cl|Category:Articles lacking sources}} .. note the high numbers from April-June 2019, added by this bot, are still unresolved though progress has been made.  -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 15:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
::Ok thanks for quick reply so I won’t request this. Do you have enough knowledge of statistics to justify that estimate of a few thousand pages based on the number tagged manually each month? If not I will see whether is any wikproject for maths and ask them [[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1|talk]]) 17:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
:::Well, when I ran in 2019, it got about 10,000 and that was backlog since day 1, about 20 years of Wikipedia. Hard to imagine in the following 5 years there has been more than a few thousand new ones added, particularly since the New Page Patrol is more watchful then it was in the early days of Wikipedia. But these numbers are based on my program's algorithm for determining lack of references, and that is unique since it gets subjective what counts as a reference.  -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 20:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
::::As you mention elsewhere that the bot was run with conservative parameters I suspect the ones being tagged manually now are not from the 2020s but earlier articles the bot was not 100% sure about.

Hello, the problem with usurped domains is actually worse than I anticipated… I’ve managed to compile a list of about 400-500 ''likely'' usurped domains just by looking at football related articles. Would you be willing to process this many domains? As far as I can tell, each of them don’t have much use (10 at most), but every little bit helps of course. - [[User:XXBlackburnXx|XXBlackburnXx]] ([[User talk:XXBlackburnXx|talk]]) 12:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

:[[User:XXBlackburnXx]]: Hi yes I can do that. It's cut and paste the list, the bot does the rest, scalable to any amount. Amazing you found so many, just in football articles. There are over 10 million unique domains on Wikipedia, as each falls into disuse, they are a target for re-register by spammers. The truth is eventually every dead domain will need to be usurped, with enough time Wikipedia will be a huge dump of dead domains, a spammer heaven. My bot can only do Enwiki, the other 300+ wikis are currently unprotected. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 15:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

::@[[User:XXBlackburnXx|XXBlackburnXx]] Beware, not only dead domains, but they also inject their spam link and redirects into live domains.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

== Thank you ==

Thank you for catching (and fixing) my edit goof on the Village Pump technical page. I'm not even sure how it happened, as I thought I was editing a section and should not have been able to affect the whole page. May have been a workflow error on my part (I keep multiple tabs open and multitask like crazy) or a bug. Anyway, it's quite embarrassing and thank you for the rescue.

: And I was just now able to do the edit I intended, so it appears the software is working. [[User:Thisisnotatest|Thisisnotatest]] ([[User talk:Thisisnotatest|talk]]) 06:55, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
::No problem, it happens, happened to me once, blanking an entire VP page. Revert and try again. Cheers. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 16:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

== The Wayback Machine (Peabody and Sherman) ==

Thanks for adding the citation - there was already a perhaps more detailed version of it in the lead, which I used to replace the one you added.  I was the creator of this article, being offended that "The Wayback Machine" of the Internet Archive had usurped the term from Mr. Peabody and Sherman, so I watch it.  The article has had a curious history - battles over the term with the Internet Archive, objections over puns, some fail to see the point of the article altogether, etc.  I was initially unaware of the massive number of links to "The Wayback Machine" used in citations everywhere.  The section on Popular Culture has been removed twice, though that is the whole reason for the notability for the article.  A lot of this is amusing that a 1960s comic can still have such influence and be argued over. Anyways thanks for your attention to the article!

:[[User:Bdushaw]] Well thanks for standing watch, many articles need a dedicated editor to counter entropy. The phrase "In Popular Culture" triggers many people. Sort of like waving a red cape at a bull. Find different wording. Try "Influences", it will save you trouble, and more accurate. It's cliche anyway. BTW I work at the archive and know the origin of the term, the person who coined it, but it's undocumented oral history within the organization so can't be used on Wikipedia. They were born in 1959, their prime cartoon years where during the 60s, it was just a playful thing they came up with in the mid 90s, when pitching the idea. The idea, and name, stuck.  -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 15:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

::You are probably right about "popular culture", now that you mention it...I've gone with "Adopted by the popular lexicon, an idiom".  Maybe better, who knows!  I have been a long time fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle...that's a funny show.  [[User:Bdushaw|Bdushaw]] ([[User talk:Bdushaw|talk]]) 12:25, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

== Request for a featured list sibling to Wikipedia:Featured articles/mismatches ==

Hi, I and the other Featured List coordinators were looking at [[Wikipedia:Featured articles/mismatches]], which is maintained by your fambot/GreenC bot, and we noticed that a Featured List equivalent would be exactly the same but with "article" changed to "list" in the category/page names, assuming there's no page parsing differences between WP:FA and WP:FL. (e.g. it's just Category:Featured lists vs Category:Featured articles, Category:Wikipedia featured lists vs. Category:Wikipedia featured articles, and Wikipedia:Featured lists vs. Wikipedia:Featured articles.) Is that something that you would be willing to have your bot do? It would be very helpful for maintenance of that space. Thanks for your consideration, even if it can't be done! --'''[[User:PresN|<span style="color:green">Pres</span>]][[User talk:PresN|<span style="color:blue">N</span>]]''' 16:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

:I could probably. Also run one for Good Articles. The problems are usually with the index pages, [[Wikipedia:Featured articles]] and [[Wikipedia:Featured lists]], since they are frequently human-edited, layout can change on a whim, which breaks the parser. Most of the index pages have different schemes that require different parsers.  Other than that, it should be mostly a boiler plate fork of the existing bot. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 18:14, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

:::[[User:PresN]]: I just created [[Wikipedia:Featured_lists/mismatches/doc]]. It's a copy of the Featured article documentation. Can you do the copyedits, changing "Articles" to "Lists"?  -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 21:39, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
:::It's done. [[Wikipedia:Featured lists/mismatches]] has the first report. It runs on the same schedule as the Featured Article, once a week Monday around noon UTC. Please notify appropriate forums so those who are interested can add it to their watchlist. It takes a few seconds to run, so if you want more frequently, but found that once a week is a good pace on the human side. Good Articles runs three times a week because of frequent problems due to the number of articles. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 22:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
