Page Deletion Question

Hi Hoo man, you recently (Oct 27, 2010) deleted a page I mistakenly created on mediawiki.org. My user is Pilonm. Is that article gone for good or was just my article content deleted? Thanks — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pilonm (talk) 16:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm not a 100% sure that I know what you mean, could you please specify your question? - Hoo man (talk) 17:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I'll try again. I'm new to Wiki. You deleted a page for me earlier today. (Thanks!) Is that page still available for the public to see on mediawiki or is it gone from public viewing? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pilonm (talk) 17:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

No, the content of deleted pages can only be viewed by Administrators. By the way, please sign your comments on talk pages with ~~~~ :) - Hoo man (talk) 17:35, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, user Hoo man. As you've been active recently in the albanian wikipedia because of the vandalization of articles created by me, user Kristiani95 and user Elio96, the administrators have unjustly accused us for vandalizing our articles and for being sockpuppets. I will be pleased if you vote against this in [1].--95.107.249.210 20:33, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Global rollback

You got it. Congratulations. --dferg ^{☎ talk} 08:35, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes template

Hi! I changed your vote at SRGP#Global rollback for Quentinv57 to use {{support}} instead of {{yes}}, since it says at the top of the page that {{yes}} is reserved for stewards (for some reason). Feel free to reformulate it if it looks ugly after my correction :) Regards, Jafeluv 17:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice and the change... didn't saw that myself. - Hoo man 17:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Еxcuse me

Hello, please excuse me for troubling you, but I have another problem. Could you edit MediaWiki:Sidebar the project Tatar Wiktionary:

navigation

* mainpage Баш бит|mainpage-description
* portal-url|portal
* currentevents-url|currentevents
* recentchanges-url|recentchanges
* randompage-url|randompage
* helppage|help
* sitesupport-url|sitesupport 

in place of the Main page need page Баш бит? Thanks --Ильнар Шайдуллов 11:27, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Done I've changed it in МедиаВики:Mainpage which is better practice than changing it in MediaWiki:Sidebar :) - Hoo man (talk) 13:39, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks,--Ильнар Шайдуллов 15:29, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Еxcuse me 2

Sorry that I have to call you so often, but could you replace the text in Äsbäptirä to Кораллар - http://tt.wiktionary.org/wiki/МедиаВики:Toolbox and Bäxäs to Бәхәс - http://tt.wiktionary.org/wiki/МедиаВики:Talk

Both done, feel free to ask for more :) - Hoo man (talk)

RfA

Hi Hoo Man, I made a comment in my RfA(now withdrawn) that others pointed out might have sounded a bit harsh. I want to apologize if It seems like that, I support your RfA and I think you would make an excellent admin here. Please do not take my comment personally, I apologize if it sounded aggressive, that was not my intention. Regards. Theo10011 18:09, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

No problem, I haven't taken that personaly :) I hope you hang on and may try another RfA in a few months (with my support, if you continue contributing) - Hoo man (talk) 18:17, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Glad to know that. Regards. Theo10011 18:23, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our budget is smaller than Commons)

Hoo man, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Meta. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

A tip: add this page Meta:Administrators' discussion index to your watchlist, it tracks the latest activity to various sections of many of the important pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta.

Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List_of_administrators and the Template:List of administrators.

Note

Hello Hoo man. I'm sorry to say this but this action is completly outside of the scope you've been appointed to. Routine maintenance is refered to uncontroversial deletions of vandalism, etc. Please refrain from such actions in the future, even if they're in good faith, which I assume you had. As you may be aware they've caused controversy in amwiki. Best regards, --dferg ^{☎ talk} 18:43, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

That invalid interface message was breaking CVNBots (I (and Quentinv57) were unable to load this wiki due to that interface message). So I decided to delete it, so that we have valid interface message and are able to load the wiki (only a few chars there different and the old one was invalid and broke things, so I decided it would be uncontroversial to delete it, cause it seemed to had no disadvantage). Be sure this wont happen again, I will thing twice before doing anything else than vandalism related things in the future - Hoo man (talk) 19:15, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Danke für die Hilfe

Hallo, Hoo man. Ich habe gerade gesehen, daß du in der obersorbischen Wikipedia die IP 79.191.240.199 gesperrt, nach dem diese meine Benutzerseite mehrmals vandaliert hatte. Ich wollte die IP gerade selbst sperren, aber du warst schneller. Hast du dafür irgendwelche Skripte? Gruß --Tlustulimu 17:52, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Bitte und nein, zum Sperren von Benutzern habe ich keine Scripte, das mache ich ganz normal über das Special:Block (ich halte es auch nicht für so notwendig das in einem Script umzusetzen, da man doch vergleichsweise selten Benutzer sperrt). Alle meine User Scripts kannst du hier finden, z.B. für Rollback habe ich ein Skript, weil ich das doch oft brauche, oder um Seiten zum Löschen vorzuschlagen -Hoo man (talk) 21:34, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

http://toolserver.org/~hoo/catPageLinks.php

Hallo, vielen Dank für das tolle, beeindruckende Tool. Da kann man wirklich tolle Auswertungen mit machen. z.B. http://toolserver.org/~hoo/catPageLinks.php?cat_name=Kriminalfilm&project=dewiki_p&uselang=en

Folgende Verbesserungsvorschläge möchte ich noch machen (falls du Interesse hast): Toll wäre es, wenn man die Suchtiefe (Unterkategorien) angeben und mit einbeziehen könnte. Und dann wäre weiter toll, wenn der Namensraum eingeschränkt werden könnte, in dem gesucht wird (insbesondere nur Artikelnamensraum). (siehe auch https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/DBQ-119?focusedCommentId=17072#comment-17072) Gruß und vielen Dank --Zulu55 08:23, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Ich habe das beides so eingebaut, auch wenn es nicht einfach war (ein Großteil der Programmlogik musste in PHP verlagert werden, da es in SQL nicht mehr umsetzbar war). Ich hoffe es funktioniert alles wie es soll, in meinen Tests hatte ich lediglich Probleme mit Bildkategorien auf Commons (ich glaube, dass dort einfach in den Tabellen der Wurm drin ist), alles andere läuft aber tadellos :) - Hoo man (talk) 22:32, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Hallo, Ganz fantastisch. Hoffe ich kann sowas irgendwann mal selbst. Gruß --Zulu55 22:00, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Vielleicht noch ein Vorschlag: Könnten Weiterleitungen kursiv ausgewiesen werden? Grüße --sigbert 18:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Ich baue gerade alle mein Tools technisch um, in dem Rahmen wird das auch eingebaut. Ich hoffe, dass ich bis Freitag damit fertig bin, kann aber nichts versprechen - Hoo man (talk) 19:21, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, jetzt ist es Samstag, aber ich bin fertig :) Wenn ihr irgendwelche Fehler findet bitte melden, die Tools wurden zum großen Teil neu geschrieben, da kann ich immer mal was übersehen - Hoo man (talk) 00:14, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Brasil

Hi, I would like to sign in suppport of the chapter. Unfortunately the page is protected due to an edit war. Could you please unprotect it in order everybody can edit. I suppose CasteloBranco and Beria will understand they should not edit that page before reaching a consensus about whether the portuguese chapter's policy might be an inspiration for brazilian one or not. As I have been informed by email, there is at least on more editor who wants to sign up. Thank you. Lechatjaune 11:08, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I've unprotected the page now in the hope that they calmed down. Furthermore Beria has made a peace offer, so I don't see any problems in that - Hoo man (talk) 11:26, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, Beria and CasteloBranco are two highly experienced users and I am shocked at seeing them acting like that. Lechatjaune 11:29, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Latgalian Wikipedia

Hello, Hoo man, I am here to talk to you about adding newly created Latgalian Wikipedia ([2]) to the List of Wikipedias. In case you are wondering why I'm writing direcly to you, it's because you were the one who changed the protection level and has the last edit on the page. Thank you! --Geimeris 19:15, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

You should be able to edit, so feel free to do so :) I've just protected the page to prevent ongoing vandalism from IPs, not to prevent additions/ updates - Hoo man (talk) 20:00, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Nonsense?

I don't consider my proposal for new project (WikiCalculator) as nonsense. There is a Wikidictionary, why not a WikiCalculator? I thought in this site people are allowed to propose new projects for Wikimedia-foundation.

Tagger

Hi. Sorry for the slow response. I had a few exams in recent days. What is going on with the Tagger? I saw that you made ​​some changes. I'll try to update the script on sr wiki :) mickit 20:08, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Micki, please notice the "DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, instead see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hoo_man/Scripts/Tagger" at the top of the script. It is far better to use the script as described here, in that way, you will receive new updates without the need to do anything. - Hoo man (talk) 21:24, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I have not seen that yesterday, because I rushed. I did it properly now (I hope). Thank you very much for your help and also for this useful script. Greetings, mate! mickit 09:37, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hey Hoo man!

I just wanted to say thank you for logging the Central Notice change you made. We've had problems with that and until we have automated logging (I'm on Kaldari about that we will have it over the next couple months at least hopefully sooner) it's very important so that we can see what happened. By the way, not a bad banner either, much better then some of the recent ones :) Jalexander 02:07, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks :) It's fine that we will have an automated log soon because some forget to log their changes (I already saw campaigns getting enabled without a log entry) furthermore it can save us some time - Hoo man (talk) 09:35, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll just use the same header :) Thanks for the help with the banner translations (especially the id link translation that someone asked about on my talk page) Jalexander 20:39, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

poty campaign

Hey Hoo man!

Thanks for logging the POTY banners. I saw your comment about the campaign not being enabled yet and just wanted to show you where it was. Obviously it's a moot point now (the banners are actually up) but I had actually 'enabled' the campaign just left it at the 00:00 start time you had put earlier. If you look at the main page you'll see the little checkbox for 'enabled' which is what I checked at 21:05 (UTC on the 18th) or so when I turned off the May Update banners. They just didn't turn on for the actual projects yet since the timer was set for 00:00 UTC on the 19th. Jalexander 02:30, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey! I saw your message on the log about turning off the POTY campaign (obviously ok) but was confused about the comment about the campaign shouldn't have been turned on with the banner issues. Which banner issues are you talking about? I believe it was Mono who asked Philippe to have them turned on and since it was your guys campaign I turned them on as set up(I actually just checked enabled and moved on other then looking to make sure the campaign did indeed have banners). Jalexander 18:37, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

The problem with the banners are mainly, that they are appearing on every page view (hadn't included a blank one), the image size was to high (63 and 81Kb), furthermore the banners are looking uggly on wide screens (the 1680 etc. wide screens). We hope that we will get all issues resolved fast, so that we can re enable the campaign ;) - Hoo man (talk) 20:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah they did look pretty bad on wide screens. I know that feeling from the fundraiser (We had to always make sure things would look "ok" both on wide and small screens). Good luck! Jalexander 17:52, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Tagger again

Hi. I made a gadget on sr.wiki today using your script. It works fine, but some things aren't translated. For example: "Edit summary", "default edit summary", "Tag page" button, "Close" button etc. Can we do something about that? It's not urgent :) Thanks in advance. mickit 00:00, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for using my script, the "Close" button can be translated using :

if(typeof(hoofrConfig) == 'undefined') hoofrConfig = {}; hoofrConfig.closeButtonText = 'abcdefghijk';

But the other examples you mentioned above should be fine, may it's an issue with you overloading your own strings in another JS file (global.js?) - Hoo man (talk) 11:23, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

You were right. It was a little mistake and I corrected it. Is it possible to translate "Please specify an edit summary" or I ask too much? BTW, here is a screenshot. mickit 13:40, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Of course not, that string can be changed using "taggerConfig.lang.giveEditSummary" now ;) - Hoo man (talk) 13:53, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, another thing I forgot, I added you to User:Hoo_man/Scripts/Tagger#Projects - Hoo man (talk) 13:59, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!!!! Now it looks perfect :) mickit 14:18, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

---

Me again :) Do you have any idea why the sr.wiki gadget looks like this for some users who use IE? I don't have the same problem, neither with FF4 nor with IE8. I'm not sure what is going on. mickit 10:05, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I've tested it, that only occurs on IE versions prior to IE8. I'm going to take a look at how I can fix it and do it if it isn't to much work. But IE7 is quite old, so I'm not going to waste ages on that - Hoo man (talk) 13:05, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

One of the users who complained is using IE8 and the other is using IE9. It's weird because I tested it with IE8 and everything works fine for me. mickit 13:09, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

That's most likely a problem with one of the 3 billion compatiblity modes in the newer IE versions. - Hoo man (talk) 13:21, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I now resolved all older IE dependent bugs, but enabled those fixes only for IE7 and 6 users (according to the user agent), please report whether that fixes the problem for your users - Hoo man (talk) 15:52, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

It seems that now everything is OK. I don't know how to thank you enough mickit 21:00, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Tagger issue

Hi, Hoo man. Great work tag adder.

I'm Surya from Tamil Wikipedia. I've customized the tag adder (Tag adder project page in TaWiki) for some extra purposes like adding tags for

1. Wikify
2. Underconstruction
3. copyedit
4. translate
5. newuser welcome
6. anonymous welcome etc.

The tool is working in all main spaces, but when adding the welcome templates for new user & anonymous users the tool is not working. I mean the tool is working only in a page which has already created. It's not working in a new user's (talk) page. But working in all other pages.

tagger which showing many templates to choose

I hope you've understood. --Surya Prakash.S.A. 12:36, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

First I have to thank you for using my script, but please don't copy it over, instead see User:Hoo man/Scripts/Tagger for an instruction on how to use it. I'll see that I built in the above function today or at least in the next days. If you need help on using my script without copying it, please ask, but copying it over will cut you of updates - Hoo man (talk) 12:48, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Ok, fixed that issue in the new version 1.6.0. Please use the script as described above and you will automatically receive that and further updates - Hoo man (talk) 15:47, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

ScoWp help

I'll reply here so as not to clog up your RfGEI, or whatever the acronym is. That's just the problem - there is no coding. Most of what is there is from 2005(!). Compare simple:Template:Commonscat with the almost identical code at sco:Template:Commonscat to see what I mean. Also, there are other weird things like collapsible wikitables don't collapse. I'd think this has something to do with broken/outdated code somewhere, though I will admit I'm not a JS/CSS/MediaWikinamespace guru, so I could be wrong. :-) If you have the time, some guidance would be handy. Avicennasis 21:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

I'll take care of it in the following days, trying to import everything that's needed from wikis where the JS is well maintained ;) - Hoo man (talk) 21:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Done, I've added the collapsible tables (from enwiki, slightly modified, to remove deprecated requirements as you can see here) and the box style (from enwiki). Please tell me if you need more stuff ;) - Hoo man (talk) 20:59, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

You're my hero. :-) I'll let you know if I come across anything else. Thanks! Avicennasis 23:02, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
