Hi,

Your tool didn't work for me since about a week. I am alone with that ? Do you plan to fix it ?

YMS (talkcontribs)

Hi Simon. Thanks for reporting this. I didn't touch this (or any other Mediawiki tool) for ages, so I'm a bit out of the loop. I might have a look at the weekend, but I cannot promise anything.

Simon Villeneuve (talkcontribs)

Ok.

If it help you, the tool stall with the message "loading languages from babel on userpage" on screen.

Hi, I see you deleted wikidata, "Miguel A. Sanchez-Rey." I am very sad that it doesn't meet the notability criteria. Can you please provide what notability criteria it must meet. There are publications and a wikia to substantiate notability. Any further advice would be welcome. Thank you and best, Miasanch201

Miasanch201 (talkcontribs)

I took a chance so I don't want it to reflect badly at myself and/or wikidata. Sorry again, Miasanch102

YMS (talkcontribs)

Hi. You can review the notability criteria under the link provided, Wikidata:Notability. The item you created, Q47014308, was completely empty (no sitelinks or statements) and thus could not fulfil them.

Miasanch201 (talkcontribs)

Is there anyway to restore item with original bio and name -- so I can research what site-links and statements I need, but not to publish until completion is fully made? I'm very knew to this. Or else should I start all over? Best, Miasanch201

YMS (talkcontribs)

I now restored the item.

Miasanch201 (talkcontribs)

Thank you very much!!! We'll keep in touch. Best, Miasanch201

Miasanch201 (talkcontribs)

I completed as much as I could. The wikia profile <http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Miguel_A._Sanchez-Rey> is hopefully the best I can do to substantiate notability. The profile picture can be found on the author central profile by typing in the name on google search. I can only upload pictures from wikipedia commons so I don't really know too much how to go about doing that. Please let me know of any further issues or any needed advice. I wish you well and best of wishes, "miguel"  :)

Hi!

Nice tool! Thank you.

I can't save my options. Is it normal?

YMS (talkcontribs)

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your comment. Yes, options are not saved. Was always on my to-do list, was always to lazy to implement it. Maybe one day I'll revisit the Label Collector and add at least such basic features...

Abuse Filter #79 (Tag - "New editor changing statement")

JGHowes (talkcontribs)

Hello YMS, what is the threshold for this filter no longer tripping? Is it based on number of edits or time on Wikidata? I sometimes add/change P18 for images I'm processing at OTRS and after a year, my edits are still being tagged this way.

YMS (talkcontribs)

Hi JGHowes. This filter applies to users that have not yet been confirmed on Wikidata. Usually, users get automatically confirmed if their accounts are at least 4 days old and they made at least 50 edits. So basically it's based on number of edits and time on Wikidata. You should get autoconfirmed in a couple of edits. Until then, don't worry about the filter. It's just there so these edits can be double-checked easily; it does not mean you did anything wrong at all.

How's ORES working out for you on Wikidata?

Groceryheist (talkcontribs)

Hi YMS, I'm working with User:EpochFail (@halfak on irc) on a research study to look into how mw:ORES is working out on wikis where it has been enabled. I was talking with User:ArthurPSmith and he suggested that I talk to you.

I was hoping to talk a little about what the kind of work you do on your Wikipedia and about how the ORES edit filters and classifiers have been working out. Do you use any tools other than Special:RecentChanges or Special:Watchlist that take advantage of ORES? Do you know of any other tools that are used to patrol that do not use ORES? I'm also interested in any other observations you may have about how the ORES scores are working out. Thank you! ~~~~

YMS (talkcontribs)

Hi Groceryheist. Sadly, I didn't really find time for Wikidata or any Wikimedia wikis recently. Thus only a quick reply here. I was mainly doing vandal fighting, and besides the special pages you mentioned I only know and use one tool that utilizes ORES - my own User:YMS/ORC tool. This is in beta state, and actually, the current version is flawed in many ways, so I completely re-designed it, but never finished the new version (time, again...). One particular issue was with ORES, which - while definitely helpful in general! - often slowed the tool down, which is why I disabled the ORES feature in the tool's default configuration at some point. I'd have to look into this if it got better since.

Groceryheist (talkcontribs)

Thanks for getting back to me @YMS! It's useful to learn that ORES seems too slow for applications like ORC. Since you don't have much time for wiki work these days, maybe there's someone else you know of who might be interested in talking to me about these questions. Thanks again for your help!

Guten Morgen, dürfte ich Dich bitten, dem Charlie auch auf commons den Kanaldeckel zu entfernen? Ich bin elender Infobox-Versager. Besten Dank im voraus. --~~~~

YMS (talkcontribs)

Hallo. Ich sehe da keinen Kanaldeckel. Da die Infobox aber vollständig aus Wikidata-Daten befüllt wird, dürftest du wohl einfach noch eine gecachte Version gesehen haben und dein eigener Revert hier auf Wikidata sollte das Problem einfach mit einer gewissen zeitlichen Verzögerung gelöst haben.

Bohème (talkcontribs)

Danke. So wird es wohl gewesen sein. Alles in Ordnung. Beste Grüße über den Rhein.

MediaWiki message delivery (talkcontribs)

Hello,

You are receiving this message because you are a top user of Special:Block on this wiki. Thank you for the important work that you do. There is a discussion happening about plans to improve Special:Block with the ability to set new types of blocks. To get the best design and new functions added, it is essential that people who use the tool join the discussion and share their opinions about these changes.

Instead of a full site wide block, you would be able to set a Partial Block. A user could be blocked from a single page, multiple pages, one or more namespaces, from uploading files, etc. There are several different ways to add this feature to Special:Block. Right now Important decisions are being made about the design and function.

Please review the page on Meta and share your feedback on the discussion page. Or you can reach me by email Also, share this message with anyone else who might be interested in participating in the discussion.

I appreciate any time that you can give to assist with making improvements to this feature. Cheers, SPoore (WMF) (talk) , Trust and Safety Specialist, Community health initiative (talk) 01:59, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
