Hello Pathoschild! Thanks kindly for your help in January getting the tool set up for the U4C Charter vote. There's an election vote coming up in mid-April for that committee, and it would be wonderful to have the tool set up for that. Here's the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2024/Voter eligibility criteria|eligibility information]], if you have time :) (I'm not sure if the tool can query translatewiki.net for the "Translators" rules, it's fine if not) [[User:PEarley (WMF)|Patrick Earley (WMF)]] ([[User talk:PEarley (WMF)|talk]]) 16:37, 8 March 2024 (UTC) |
|||
== Custom signatures == |
|||
: Hi! Translatewiki doesn't seem to be available in the Toolforge data, but Account Eligibility can mention the translator exception in the "additional requirements that can't be checked by this script" section. |
|||
Hi, Jesse. Your username is the only one that appears in https://signatures.toolforge.org/reports/nl.wiktionary.org as having an "invalid" custom signature. MediaWiki was changed last year to require a local link in a custom signature. The linked page can be a redirect, and there only needs to be one local link. So, for example, you could have a link to your Meta-Wiki user page, your Meta-Wiki user talk page, and your local contributions, or a link to your local user page (which displays your global userpage) and a link to your talk page here. There's more information at [[mw:New requirements for user signatures/Help]]. |
|||
: The voter rules seem clear, but a few questions to clarify the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2024#Call for Candidates|candidate rules]]: |
|||
If you set this up across multiple wikis, then I believe that you will unfortunately have to update each one separately. It seems that the bulk-prefs-changing tools have all been disabled, and GlobalPrefs doesn't seem to handle signatures. (Please ping me if you have questions.)

:* Does "''Have not been blocked on any Wikimedia project''" mean they're not ''currently'' blocked on any wiki, or does it include previous blocks which are no longer in effect? |
|||
:* Does "''nor have an active event ban in the past one year''" refer to the [[Event Ban policy|event ban policy]]? |
|||
:* For "''Be a registered member of at least one Wiki project for at least 365 days and have a minimum of 500 edits''", can this be accumulated across multiple wikis? For example, let's say they have a two-year-old account on Wiki A with 200 edits, and a six-month-old account on Wiki B with 300 edits. Would they qualify based on the Wiki A age and Wiki A+B edits? |

::Hey Pathoschild, I work with Patrick for the U4C election, so I can answer these questions for you (as Patrick is on a well-deserved break :)): |

Hi Pathoschild, a small update request: the EC has decided that for candidates, the minimum of 500 edit requirements would be by 5 March 2024, 12:00 UTC -- the tool currently set it by 16 March 2024.

Hi @[[User:Pathoschild|Pathoschild]], I just checked a user's eligibility [https://meta.toolforge.org/accounteligibility/74/Paradise+Chronicle] and the tool says they are eligible to vote even though they are site-wide blocked in more than one public project [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Paradise_Chronicle]. |

: The tool shouldn't care about the auto-block settings though; it just [https://github.com/Pathoschild/Wikimedia-contrib/blob/main/tool-labs/accounteligibility/framework/rules/NotBlockedRule.php#L95 checks for an entry] in [[mw:Manual:Ipblocks table|the <samp>ipblocks</samp> table]].

== Custom request for Synchbot == |

Hello! I want to migrate to global user page on all wikis. But I am using subpages on en-wiki for archives and signpost. I no longer desire local user pages, and instead want the meta one to appear. Please advice. [[User:MxWondrous|MxWondrous]] ([[User talk:MxWondrous|talk]]) 16:59, 29 November 2021 (UTC) |
|||
: Hi! The quickest option would be to post a [[Synchbot]] request to delete your local user page on each wiki (and optionally CSS/JS subpages), then manually add <code><nowiki>{{db-u1}}</nowiki></code> to your other subpages on enwiki. (The bot is optimized to change one page across every wiki, so for individual pages on one wiki it's faster to do it manually.) —<small>[[User:Pathoschild|Pathoschild]] 19:48, 29 November 2021 (UTC)</small> |

:: I’m sorry for not being clear previously, but I wanted to say that I wish to retain my subpages and css and js subpages. I only want the user page gone, but for its subpages to stay on enwiki.

Since there's only three and those wikis have active admins, you could just add <code><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></code> to those pages, then have a Synchbot request to only delete your top user page on each wiki. —<small>[[User:Pathoschild|Pathoschild]] 05:31, 03 December 2021 (UTC)</small> |

: Hi! Synchbot has a pretty specific remit for how it can use its global permissions, and it's optimized for editing/deleting one page title across all wikis.

Talk to me — if you have questions or comments, feel free to post them below or send me an email. If you saw me edit on your wiki, it was probably related to the synchbot service (which maintains global user pages for others) or interface editor (which lets me maintain my user scripts).
About me — my name is Jesse. Nowadays I quietly write scripts, make the occasional edit, and love Shanel. Many moons ago I was an active editor and administrator on several wikis, a Wikimedia steward (2006–2014), a language committee member (2006–2011), an email response volunteer (2006–2011), and a Board elections committee member (2008 and 2009).
Account eligibility tool
@Pathoschild: Account eligibility tool at https://meta.toolforge.org/accounteligibility/70 is hanging and not responding. Sario528 (talk) 22:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! This seems to be a filesystem issue on Toolforge so far; I'll post a message in #wikimedia-cloud to see if they have an idea what's causing it. —Pathoschild 05:48, 09 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yep, it was a filesystem issue. It's fixed now; thanks for reporting it! —Pathoschild 15:23, 09 February 2024 (UTC)
Account Eligibility for the U4C Elections
Hello Pathoschild! Thanks kindly for your help in January getting the tool set up for the U4C Charter vote. There's an election vote coming up in mid-April for that committee, and it would be wonderful to have the tool set up for that. Here's the eligibility information, if you have time :) (I'm not sure if the tool can query translatewiki.net for the "Translators" rules, it's fine if not) Patrick Earley (WMF) (talk) 16:37, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Translatewiki doesn't seem to be available in the Toolforge data, but Account Eligibility can mention the translator exception in the "additional requirements that can't be checked by this script" section.
- The voter rules seem clear, but a few questions to clarify the candidate rules:
- Does "Have not been blocked on any Wikimedia project" mean they're not currently blocked on any wiki, or does it include previous blocks which are no longer in effect?
- Does "nor have an active event ban in the past one year" refer to the event ban policy?
- For "Be a registered member of at least one Wiki project for at least 365 days and have a minimum of 500 edits", can this be accumulated across multiple wikis? For example, let's say they have a two-year-old account on Wiki A with 200 edits, and a six-month-old account on Wiki B with 300 edits. Would they qualify based on the Wiki A age and Wiki A+B edits?
- —Pathoschild 22:15, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Pathoschild, I work with Patrick for the U4C election, so I can answer these questions for you (as Patrick is on a well-deserved break :)):
- That would mean current blocks only, as is the practice in the previous elections
- Yes, that would refer to the Event Ban policy
- Yes, that would refer to 500 edits across all Wikimedia projects.
- Let me know if you need any further clarification, and thanks for your help. Cheers, RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 06:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Pathoschild, I work with Patrick for the U4C election, so I can answer these questions for you (as Patrick is on a well-deserved break :)):
- Done! The new events are 74 (voters) and 73 (candidates), and here are the code changes in case you want to review. Let me know if you need any changes. —Pathoschild 17:21, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Pathoschild, a small update request: the EC has decided that for candidates, the minimum of 500 edit requirements would be by 5 March 2024, 12:00 UTC -- the tool currently set it by 16 March 2024. Can you please change it? Many thanks, RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 10:08, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done! I also set the same date for the account age requirement based on the new rules text, but let me know if you want to change it. —Pathoschild 04:16, 06 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Pathoschild, I just checked a user's eligibility [1] and the tool says they are eligible to vote even though they are site-wide blocked in more than one public project [2].
Is it possible that your tool doesn't determine the dewiki block as side-wide because autoblock has been disabled [3]? Johannnes89 (talk) 06:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Unfortunately I'm away travelling this week, and it seems my access to Toolforge isn't working from here. I'll take a look as soon as I get back, or I'd be fine if a Toolforge admin wanted to submit and deploy a fix.
- The tool shouldn't care about the auto-block settings though; it just checks for an entry in the ipblocks table. (Despite the name, non-IP blocks are also stored in that table.) —Pathoschild 01:32, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed! The tool now continues checking the rule on the remaining wikis once the other requirements have all been met. —Pathoschild 00:10, 09 May 2024 (UTC)
