'''Interwikies'''
* [[/Interwiki Bot FAQ|Interwiki Bot Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)]]
A large number of users expressed their desire to have interwikies sorted in a site-specific order.  Many users would also like to have a custom,
user defined order, so that if you know Lithuanian and French, you can see links to them first. Developers need to be persuaded that this '''is''' a needed feature. Please see comments '''and vote''' for the [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2867 bug 2867].

== MultiPOI in  wikipedia ==

Hi Yurik. Is it still time to say "Happy new year" ?. Well, just in case. Now, I'am using the dynamic maps in [[:ca:template:Infotaula geografia política]]. It's in test and when I deploy it, will be in 100k articles. At the same time, I'd like to extend to the rest of infoboxes that are using "Graph:Street map with marks" which is less usefull. However, I need to represent more than one POI within the map. Something like [https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/User:Amadalvarez/sandbox this]. I copied template:mapframe and template:marker to catalan wikipedia but [[:ca:Usuari:Amadalvarez/traduccions_2|the result]] don't show the points. Could it be because using this features in a wikipedia project ?. Why doesn't run ? could it be an installation matter ? I'am not a technical level, so I'll need your help. It's there any other way to represent a multipoint?. I take the wikivoyages tools, but I don't have so sofisticated requirement. In fact, I just need to provide a group of lat/lon/name/description to show. Thanks for your time. --[[User:Amadalvarez|Amadalvarez]] ([[User talk:Amadalvarez|talk]]) 18:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
: [[User:Amadalvarez|Amadalvarez]], i'm sorry for not replying earlier - crazy week (dev summit, all staff, ...). Due to a request by the VE team, we cannot allow for the multiple &lt;maplink> tags to all add data to the same map. In other words, one mapframe or maplink tag must contain all the data it wants to show. Wikivoyage is a special case, because they already had this functionality before map tags were introduced, and we had to match it as an exception. On the other hand, thanks to the new [[mw:Help:Map Data]] dataset functionality, you can reuse the same map data on multiple wikis (at the moment there is a bug with wikimarkup showing instead of the actual link, but we are working on it) --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 18:19, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
: P.S. Another option would be to generate maplink and mapframes on the fly from a [[mw:Help:Tabular Data]] dataset by a lua script. So the table would contain the list of the locations with their names, icon styles, etc, and a Lua script will go through the table and generate list items and mapframe tag. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 18:23, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
::Don't worry. Everybody is in a hurry, but we are here to enjoy the project. Keep calm !. However, as you were in silence, I tried to use JSON code, but it doesn't allow to use parameters, which I need because I call maps from an infobox and get the values from Wikidata, Then, I encourage a good friend -more tech profile than me- and we (well...., he) build a new version of Map module to generate JSON code, directly from a list of parameters. The module is [[:ca:module:Map]] and we invoke it via [[:ca:template:Map draw]]. You can see some results in [[:ca:Plantilla:Map_draw/ús/exemples]]- Now, it is deployed in [https://tools.wmflabs.org/templatecount/index.php?lang=ca&name=Map_draw&namespace=10#bottom 40.400 articles]. What do you think ?.--[[User:Amadalvarez|Amadalvarez]] ([[User talk:Amadalvarez|talk]]) 19:17, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

== Graph template categories ==

Hi. There are some categories added to several graph templates you created by noinclude in doc pages. We copy the doc pages every time to other wikis, and there are no categories with these names, and we can't create them because of their name in other language. Can I ask you please to replace these categories by other templates, for example "Template:PageViews/Categorization", with category names there? So in every wiki this templates will include the graph templates in local categories. It's like the regular MediaWiki messages tracking category names system. Thank you. [[User:IKhitron|IKhitron]] ([[User talk:IKhitron|talk]]) 16:42, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
:[[User:IKhitron|IKhitron]], thanks for the suggestion. There is another way to add multilingual categories. We could store category name in a dataset like [[commons:Data:I18n/Template:Graphs.tab|this one]], and the [[Module:TNT]] can extract it and produce the proper category link. The only problem with this approach is that all projects in the same language (e.g. wikipedia and wikivoyage and wikinews) would get the same link (which might be ok). English would also be a complex one because it would also affect Commons, MediaWiki, and other multilingual wikis. What do you think? --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 18:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
::Thank you. Actually, I don't know what to say, because I work in Wikipedias only and Meta Projects as WikiData or Commons, so I do not know about the rules in WikiText or WikiQuote. [[User:IKhitron|IKhitron]] ([[User talk:IKhitron|talk]]) 18:35, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

== Automatic centering for Kartographer  ==

Hi Yurik,

at [//test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karto testwiki] I've done a Kartographer geojson test. The map is only centered around the map object when going to fullscreen. In preview it just shows a random location. How to fix this?--[[User:Recent contributor|Recent contributor]] ([[User talk:Recent contributor|talk]]) 12:46, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
: [[User:Recent contributor|Recent contributor]], please comment on [[phab:T149147]] -- it will help WMF understand the importance of that ticket. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 18:04, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
:: Done. When will <mapframe> be activated in production wikis?--[[User:Recent contributor|Recent contributor]] ([[User talk:Recent contributor|talk]]) 09:09, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
::: [[User:Recent contributor|Recent contributor]], &lt;mapframe> is already enabled in several large wikis (french, russian), and WMF needs to hear from the community what other wikis need it. Please comment on [[phab:T138057]]. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 18:58, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

: {{ping|Smalyshev (WMF)}} I edited that page a bit, but looks very good. Btw, it seems your example does not match the sparql query, so not sure how you update it.

:: I think Listeria uses "item" and I don't want to diverge too much from it for now. If it'll be a full fork, sure, but I want to leave an option for merging it back relatively easily for now.

::: {{ping|Smalyshev (WMF)}} [[commons:Data:Sandbox/Smalyshev/test.tab]] - the table has 5 columns, but the query only returns 3. Are you automatically append label & description?  Re "item" - makes sense. Also, could you add the cat sparql query to your description page? I think it should be there if you already have the sample JSON there to be consistent. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 08:08, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at [https://www.acehotel.com/newyork Ace Hotel New York] hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history.

For this month, and following on the recent [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]] campaign, we'll focus on building better [[edit-a-thon]] tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community.  Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

==Interactive graphics==
I like the interactive graphic map you put up on [[List of U.S. states by Gross State Product (GSP)]].

Are you able to make this map on [[List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_the_United_States]] interactive like it is on this page https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Demo/Airports ?

[[File:Busiest_airports_by_passenger_traffic.png|600px|thumb|center| [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Demo/Airports Interactive graphic of connection routes]]]

Thanks for everything you do, <br>

: [[User:Wikideas1|Wikideas1]], thx! It can totally be done from the technology perspective, but we are missing a data source. Can you find a CC0 (public domain) source of the flight data? We can put that into a dataset on Commons, and use it in a graph. Updating it would also be very easy. Thanks! --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 16:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

http://openflights.org/data.html#route Is the closest thing I've found that might be useful. --[[User:Wikideas1|Wikideas1]] ([[User talk:Wikideas1|talk]]) 03:36, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
: [[User:Wikideas1|Wikideas1]], can't use it - the data there is under Open Database License, whereas Commons Datasets only allow CC0 / Public Domain. Discussion is in [[phab:T154071]]. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 04:02, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

== Candidacy ==

Yurik,

Can you post the URL to your platform discussions for the Wikimedia Foundation elections? I can't seem to find it... Actually, most of my conversations with you center around the fact that I can't find things!

[[User:Arthur.frick|Arthur.frick]] ([[User talk:Arthur.frick|talk]]) 03:57, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

: [[User:Arthur.frick|Arthur.frick]], I posted my thoughts/statements [[meta:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_of_Trustees/Candidates#Yuri_Astrakhan_.28yurik.29|here]]. Please let me know today if you have any change suggestions - I still have a few hours before the lock down. Plus I believe that candidates' platform should be a collaborative effort :) --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 18:36, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

I looked at everything. I think that it looks GREAT, however, I have a few suggestions:

STATEMENT:
YOU WROTE: Content and community made Wikipedia succeed, but neither should be taken for granted. A happy community needs better ways to interact, manage, and create. Good content must engage readers, be interactive and easy to understand. My technical & community work will aid board effectiveness/focus

I THINK: Content and community made Wikipedia succeed, but neither should be taken for granted. A happy and productive community needs better ways to interact, manage, and create. My technical & community work will aid board effectiveness/focus through empowering all users to not only engage with the content they are authoring, but to engage with each other, thus strengthening the fabric of the community.

MY THOUGHTS AS TO WHY: I think you bring a lot of tech experience as well as community experience. The vibe that I'm getting from you is that you are looking to increase the development of content and the continuity of community within the Wikipedia ecosystem through better technical implementation. These are just my thoughts, take what you like, or nothing if you wish. I just feel like you are selling yourself short in that, from my impression: that better technology will lead to better content and a stronger community (something that I totally agree with, btw).

ONLINE WIKI WORK:
YOU WROTE: If technology plays an important part in Wikipedia, shouldn’t there be a technology person representing community on the board?
I have been contributing to MediaWiki as a volunteer developer for many years, initially creating the MediaWiki API in 2006. Until recently, I also worked at WMF, leading Wikipedia Zero and Interactive engineering efforts. I am one of the top five MediaWiki code contributors. My projects include maps, interactive graphs/data visualizations, shared tabular data on Commons, and cross-wiki templates.

I feel the wikiverse has become complacent with our success, and needs to focus to continue improving. I believe Wikipedia will remain as the top source of information -- if it is fun to use. Just like hands-on museums, our content needs to be engaging, full of interactive multimedia, and focused on learning. My vision was presented in “I dream of content” paper, leading to many features done by the Interactive team.

Wikipedia is a single multilingual project, not hundreds of disjoined projects. Smaller communities should spend their limited resources creating content in their language, instead of wasting months copy/pasting common templates and code modules from other wikis.

Put editors’ needs first, concentrate on wishlists, don’t try to replace editors with algorithms.

I THINK: This is somewhat vague here. You have a wealth of technical knowledge as well as experience in Wikipedia. I'd recommend that you expound upon that, and focus less on opinion. You're advocating that your platform is that a tech person needs to be on the board, I want to know more about the tech that you've done and been a part of. Tell me more details about the data things that you've done, the mapping. The stuff that you talk about in our meetups.

OFFLINE WIKI WORK: I think looks great! 


I've consumed wayyy too much coffee today. Sorry if this is a bit all over the place and turned in to a lengthy critique and treatise. I truly believe that you'd do a fantastic job in helping to drive technology in to a main priority and I think that's hugely important as WP moves forward especially concerning the multilingual and diversity initiatives.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.105.133.59|24.105.133.59]] ([[User talk:24.105.133.59#top|talk]]) 20:59, 20 April 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== TopoJSON map with <graph> ==

Hi Yurik,

I've imported a dataset of the US counties [[:mw:User:Graphoid/US-Counties-json|as TopoJSON]]. The source is [http://eric.clst.org/Stuff/USGeoJSON this], but I processed it to fit in the 2M size limit.

At [[:mw:User:Graphoid]] I'm just trying to stain a few counties, but the map stays blank. An administrator at MediaWiki wiki told me, that you would be right person to contact.

I would be very grateful if could tell me where my error is.

Regards, --[[User:Graphoid|Graphoid]] ([[User talk:Graphoid|talk]]) 21:58, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
: [[User:Graphoid|Graphoid]], fixed.  I recommend you use data namespace to store the counties (much less data will fit, so you will have to simplify it more, but the data will be auto-available to all wikis without copying. Also, use [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:GraphSandbox graph sandbox] - makes spotting errors easier. Lastly, try to change it to use autosize=fit model (you will also need to put your mark inside a group mark to make clipping work - its a limitation of Vega2 with geopath marks - this way you will be able to set the size of the graph without worrying that it will auto-grow because of a legend or other visual artifacts.  I am hoping to introduce Vega3 at some point - makes things much easier. Good luck! --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 01:16, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
: P.S.  Take a look at [[List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP]].  --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 01:21, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

::The sandbox is really helpful. I've had stored the county data in the data namespace, but Mainframe98 deleted it as "out of scope".

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at [https://www.acehotel.com/newyork Ace Hotel New York] hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history.

For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop [[Wikidata]], building better [[edit-a-thon]] tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community.  Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

== GraphMap ==

The GraphMap extension is a feature I regard rather interesting! (It should be, anyway, made more public, as it is still very little used, in contrast to the Graph extension). Why I write you, I have to questions regarding that project
* Is it possible that the maps displayed using that feature can be exported as an SVG or at least a high-resolution PNG? The extension might work very well for the WP itself, but the images can hardly be removed at the moment.
* Is it possible to use maps from [[:commons:Category:SVG historic world maps (location map scheme)]] for GraphMap? Although this project has not gone that far up to know, it makes it possible to use draw accurate world maps for at least the last 25 years.
--[[User:Antemister|Antemister]] ([[User talk:Antemister|talk]]) 21:45, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
:Did you see that question?--[[User:Antemister|Antemister]] ([[User talk:Antemister|talk]]) 10:59, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
:: {{ping|Antemister}} sorry, missed it. I am not very familiar with the GraphMap ext - I'm really the wrong person to ask about it.  Graph ext can handle images pretty well, but it cannot AFAIK modify them on the fly (e.g. you cannot take SVG and color it differently, but you can take a GeoJSON and do the same).  --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 21:46, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
:::Ah, OK, who can I ask then, or, more particular, who is the developer of that extension? I just guessed that it is you, from an reply at the German WP.--[[User:Antemister|Antemister]] ([[User talk:Antemister|talk]]) 09:14, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
:: {{ping|Antemister}} I just did some searching, and it doesn't seem like this extension even exists! Are you sure that's the right name?  I wrote the "graph" extension, not the GraphMap.
:: So just in case you meant the [[mw:Extension:Graph|Graph ext]], answering your original questions: the graph ext can draw any images without modification (see [https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/marks/image/ doc] but for version 2). Also, graph ext can support [https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/marks/path/ paths], which are usually generated from geojson/topojson data. So if you have a Data:*.map page on Commons, you can use it in the graph, coloring each region.  See [[mw:Extension:Graph/Demo|demos]].  --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 23:45, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
:::Sorry, I do not have any programming skills, so I do not know about the features of that extension, I just saw [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Demo#More_maps_examples] that actually shows what I thought about. But it seems that there is at the moment only one map possible, and the images cannot be saved.--[[User:Antemister|Antemister]] ([[User talk:Antemister|talk]]) 11:57, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2017/Asian Art|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.

== Weather data ==

Hi Yurik,

I work at [[Environment Canada]] and [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Weather_observations we are studying how we can import all the weather observations] contained in the Canadian climate archive into Wikidata and/or Commons. We are speaking of more than 8000 stations, with observations for monthly, daily and hourly values, some of them starting in 1840. We are talking of a lot of data.

Many questions are still unanswered at that point, and since we've seen that you have [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Ncei.noaa.gov/weather/New_York_City.tab created a format and imported weather data for New York city], we though that we could benefit from your opinion.

1- We are not sure what you mean with this comment on the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_talk:Ncei.noaa.gov/weather/New_York_City.tab New York data discussion page]: « Of course this is only possible if foundation continues to support this effort. »  Is it possible to use categories for these pages?

2- For the New York observations, you've used the nomenclature <code>SOURCE/weather/LOCATION.tab</code>, which in this specific case gives <code>Ncei.noaa.gov/weather/New York City.tab</code>. However, these observations are monthly observations, ie. one entry per month. There are other observations, namely daily (one entry per day) and hourly (one entry per hour). To take this into account, I propose to use this nomenclature <code>SOURCE/weather/STATION/PERIOD/STATION PERIOD DATE.tab</code>. In this case, that would give <code>Ncei.noaa.gov/weather/monthly/New York City Montly.tab</code>.  That way, you could add another set of data for daily observations, probably one file per year. This could give for daily observation of year 1910: <code>Ncei.noaa.gov/weather/daily/New York City Daily 1910.tab</code>.  Do you have an opinion on this?

Would you have any other ideas or suggestions about how we should proceed to add all this data?

Thanks,
[[User:Dirac|Dirac]] ([[User talk:Dirac|talk]]) 01:03, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

: [[User:Dirac|Dirac]], hi, it sounds like an awesome project!  For the #1 - the categories at this point can only be added to the talk pages, not to the content pages. There is a [[phab:T155290]] ticket to make it supportable on the data page itself.  Technically it is not too difficult to do, it just needs a volunteer or a staff person to spend a bit of time to create it.  I may try to hack on it at some point if noone else takes it.
: The #2 - sure! In reality, I have no idea what would be the best way to name those datasets, I thought "origin/group/subgroup/name.tab" is a good organizational structure, but others have said that in some cases origin is not a well defined concept, especially for the user-generated sets.  Eventually I think the "structured data" project will bring some order into this, but for now, any name you like should work. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 18:31, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

::Hi {{ping|Yurik}}.  I need to present a showcase presenting what can be done with the Weather data on Commons (and/or Wikidata). Here's what I would like to do. We could use the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Environment_Canada/Weather/Bagotville_A_(71727)/Monthly/Bagotville_A_(71727)_Monthly.tab montly observations data for Bagotville]. For the min/max temperature, precipitation and snow, we would like to have:
::* Monthly average (average of every month for January, February, ... to end up with only 12 averaged values for each weather element)
::* Variance
::* Standard deviation
::* Extremes (record)

::We also need to see how we can mingled different data sets. A trivial example could be to add the max temperature values of New York and Bagotville for every month.

::However, we don't have the Lua expertise to achieve this. Is it something you can help us with?
::[[User:Dirac|Dirac]] ([[User talk:Dirac|talk]]) 18:08, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
::: {{ping|Dirac}}, I did [[Template:Graph:Weather_monthly_history|this example]] for weather a while ago. There is also [[User:Yurik/Weather_heatmap]] and [[User:Yurik/WeatherDemo]]. The last one is a standard table as used by many pages, but it pulls data from the data page.  Would that work for you? --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 12:40, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

::::Hi {{ping|Yurik}}. I am very much interested by [[User:Yurik/WeatherDemo]]. I tried to [[User:Dirac/WeatherDemo|mimic your page]] and edit the template (removing °F for example). However, my [[User:Dirac/Weather box]] page gives me the error <code>Script error: No such module "Sandbox/Dirac".</code> while [[User:Yurik/Weather box|yours]] is <code>Lua error in Module:Sandbox/Yurik at line 9: Missing "data" parameter.</code>. Even if the error indicates that my page doesn't exists, [[Module:Sandbox/Dirac|it does]] (I've copied [[Module:Sandbox/Yurik|yours]]). By looking at the difference between your sandbox page and mine, it seems that your Sandbox is able to invoke [[Module:Arguments]] while mine isn't. I've looked into this module documentation to see if I should activate it in my profile in a way or another, but did not find anything. Do you know how I can fix this?  [[User:Dirac|Dirac]] ([[User talk:Dirac|talk]]) 16:34, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
::: {{ping|Dirac}}, I think you didn't try to do a "null edit" after adding [[Module:Sandbox/Dirac]]. (open page and save it without changing).  Both my and your pages show the same error. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 21:54, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

== Question about the "graph" extension ==

Hi Yurik, it seems that you are interested by the Graph extension. Since I try to create a graph using this extension, I got a question. Up to now, I did [[wikt:fr:Utilisateur:Pamputt/Logoscope/graph|this graph]]. I wanted to add the possibility to display the y value when we hover a given point of the graph. It works rather well when I am in preview but it does not work when I save the page. Do you have any explanation? [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 16:05, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
: [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] you need to make the graph interactive by setting '''mode=interactive'''. Graphs are always created as images for performance reasons, but allow interactivity if clicked. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 20:11, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
::Ah, that's it. Thank you very much. I was looking for that since few days ... [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 20:32, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Greetings!

Here is the 5th issue of the ''Bots Newsletter'' (formerly the ''BAG Newletter''). You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from [[Wikipedia:Bots/Spam|this list]].

Highlights for this newsletter include:

;ARBCOM
*''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Magioladitis 2|Magioladitis 2]]'' happened, leading to further restrictions on {{noping|Magioladitis}} ([[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Magioladitis 2#Final decision|decision]], [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Cases/2017#September|summary]]).
*''[[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Betacommand 3#Amendment request: Betacommand 3 (December 2017)|Betacommand 3]]'' was proposed to be amended to lift the indefinite ban on {{noping|Δ}}, but was unsuccessful ([[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Betacommand 3#Betacommand 3: Arbitrator views and discussion|decision]]).
*A motion concerning ''[[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Archive 12#Crosswiki issues: Motion (November 2017)|Crosswiki issues]]'' (mostly concerning Wikidata) was passed (see [[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Archive 12#Crosswiki issues: Motion (November 2017)|discussion]]).

;BAG
*{{noping|Hersfold}} was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ABot_Approvals_Group%2FFormer&type=revision&diff=807534876&oldid=757247341 removed from the BAG] due to long term inactivity.
*

;BRFAs
We currently have 6 [[Wikipedia:BAG/Status|open]] bot requests at [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval]], and could use your help processing!

;Discussions
While there were no large-scale bot-related discussion in the past few months, you can check [[WP:BOTN]] and [[WT:BOTPOL]] (and their corresponding archives) for smaller issues that came up.

;New things
*[[WP:BOTDICT]], a dictionary of common bot-related terms (see [[Wikipedia talk:Bots/Dictionary#Creation and feedback|discussion]]).
*6 inactive bots have been deflagged (see [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 12#Inactive bots - December 2017|discussion]]).
*The [[meta:2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Results|2017 Community Wishlist Survey]] happened. Two bot-related proposal passed, #6 ''[[meta:2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Bots and gadgets/Deploy Article Alerts to other languages|deploy Article Alerts to other languages]]'' and #10 ''[[meta:2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Bots and gadgets/Commons deletion notification bot|Commons deletion notification bot]]'', although other entries may affect bots as well.
* [[:Category:Wikipedia bots]] and its subcategories has had some cleanup. Bot-related pages that were historically important but are no longer of interests can be found in [[:Category:Wikipedia bots (historical)]]
* The edit summary limit has been increased to 1000 characters (see {{phab|T6715}}). If a bot you operate relied on the old truncation limit (255 characters), please review/update your code, as overly long summaries can be disruptive/annoying. If you want to use extra characters to have more information in your edit summary, please do so intelligently.
* You will soon be able to [[Wikipedia:Notifications|ping]] users from the edit summary (see {{phab|T188469}}). If you wish to use this feature in your bot, please do so intelligently.

;Upcoming
* [[HTML Tidy]] will be [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy phased out] in [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/28 June 2018, or possibly earlier]. This may affect some bots (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy/FAQ#What_will_editors_need_to_do.3F FAQ]).

== Graph:Map and topojson ==

Hi,

Any ideas how to get local topoJson map working with Graph module? 
* I'm using this topojson for Latvia https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moodul:Graph/test.json
But so far I'm only getting tiny map, in top-right corner of generated image, thats visible only at large scale: https://et.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kasutaja:WikedKentaur/test&oldid=4951401

--[[User:WikedKentaur|WikedKentaur]] ([[User talk:WikedKentaur|talk]]) 07:10, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

: [[User:WikedKentaur|WikedKentaur]], I would recommend using a different approach, similar to how [[Template:OSM_Location_map]] is doing it.  Internally it uses [[Template:Graph:Street_map_with_marks]].   If your data is bigger than that, store it in [[mw:Help:Map_Data]] on Commons (wrapped geojson), that you can use directly from the graph. --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 04:31, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Greetings!

Here is the 6th issue of the ''Bots Newsletter''. You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from [[Wikipedia:Bots/Spam|this list]].

Highlights for this newsletter include:

;ARBCOM
*Nothing particular important happened. Those who care already know, those who don't know wouldn't care. The curious can dig ARBCOM archives themselves.

;BAG
*There were no changes in [[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group#Member list|BAG membership]] since the last ''Bots Newsletter''. [[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] went from semi-active to active.
*In the last 3 months, only 3 BAG members have closed requests - help is needed with the [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval|backlog]].

;BOTREQs and BRFAs
As of writing, we have...
* 24 active [[WP:BOTREQ|BOTREQs]], please help if you can!
* 5 open BRFAs and 3 BRFAs in need of BAG attention (see [[Wikipedia:BAG/Status|live status]]).
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Approved&oldid=853482126 54 approved bot tasks] since the start of 2018. Of note, [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Community_Tech_bot_5|Community Tech bot 5]] (the [[meta:2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Results|#10 Wish on the 2017 Community Survey]]) was approved to notify users concerning problematic images and files from [[commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]].
Also
* If you're a bot operator that can [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy/FAQ#What_will_editors_need_to_do.3F help] with Tidy/Linter error cleanup (see [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 166#Seeking intrepid technical volunteers for a mission|discussion]], [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 167#Remex: Pages that used to look fine are now broken|discussion]]), please [[WP:BRFA|file a BRFA]]! 
* 8 inactive bots have been deflagged (see [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 12#Inactive bots - May 2018|discussion]], [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 12#Notice of removal of "bot" flag from RM bot|discussion]], [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 12#Removal of bot permissions from User:HasteurBot|discussion]]).

* [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard#Discussion concerning WP:BOTFLAG/WP:RC|Discussion concerning WP:BOTFLAG/WP:RC]] – A reminder that bots should use the bot flag when it makes sense to use it (see also [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 167#Bot edits not hidden in RecentChanges|VPT discussion]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ACreating_a_bot&type=revision&diff=853715828&oldid=852064145 CREATEBOT update]).
* [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard#Out of curiosity... (to all bot operators)|Out of curiosity... (to all bot operators)]] – BotPasswords vs OAuth usage amongst bot operators.
* [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 165#Introducing Toolhub|Introducing Toolhub]] – [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub Toolhub] is looking for feedback.

;New things
* {{tl|Automated tools}}, a new template linking to user-activated tools and scripts has been created. It can be used in articles previews, and can be placed on any non-mainspace page/template (e.g. {{tl|Draft article}}) to provide convenient links to editors.
* [https://sourceforge.net/p/autowikibrowser/code/12218/ AWB 5.10.0.0] is out, after nearly 20 months without updates. If you run an old version, you will be prompted to install the new version automatically. See the [[WP:AWB/H#5.10.0.0|changelog]] for what's new. Note that the [[WP:AWB/H#x.x.x.x|next version]] will require [[.NET Framework#4.5|.NET Framework 4.5]]. Many thanks to [[User:Reedy|Reedy]] and the AWB team.
* [https://tools.wmflabs.org/botwatch/ BotWatch], "a listing of editors that have made >2 edits per minute [without] a bot flag", is being developed by [[User:SQL|SQL]] (see [[Wikipedia talk:Bot Approvals Group#Alpha Tool: Botwatch|discussion]]).

You can activate the bot [https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/doibot.html here], amongst other methods.
* [[HTML Tidy]] has been [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy phased out] (see [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2018/28 Tech News #28]).
* {{tl|Newbot}} has been reorganized a bit ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Newbot&diff=843103357&oldid=827251051 diff]). In particular, it links to previously approved BRFAs (see [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 12#Appearance of Template:Newbot|discussion]]).
* [[Wikipedia:Bots#See also]] has been reorganized a bit ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bots&diff=843957541&oldid=843956859 diff]).
* The [[Wikipedia:Bots/Dictionary|bot dictionary]] has two new entries, ''[[Wikipedia:Bots/Dictionary#Context bot|context bot]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Bots/Dictionary#Context-sensitive edit|context-sensitive edit]]''.
* The [[Wikipedia:Bot requests/Header|bot request header]] has been updated to include better guidance (see [[Wikipedia talk:Bot requests#Wikipedia:Bot requests/Header update|discussion]]).
* The subcategories of [[:Category:Wikipedia bot requests for approval]] have been sorted in a consistent manner to make past BRFAs easier to find.

'''[[meta:Translat-a-thon/NYC/2019|Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College]]''' is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on '''Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week''', anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.
 
New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

== Pageviews ==

Hi Yurik, thanks for your work on the PageViews graph, which continues to be very useful.

I have been playing with the code's data pull from the PageView API to try to create a simple template which pulls just one number in plain text form (for example, the 30 day total views for a page, or even just the prior day's single viewcount).

I am not a programmer though; all my attempts on my sandbox have not been able to make this simple template work. What I am trying to achieve is a template like:
::<nowiki>{{Pageviews datapoint|PAGENAME|1}}</nowiki>
::gives:
:::49
::[being the number of pageviews in the previous 1 day.]

Would you be able to guide me on this?

* Several ([[Wikipedia_talk:Bot_Approvals_Group/Archive_9#Inactive BAG retirement (Mr.Z-man)|1]] + [[Wikipedia_talk:Bot_Approvals_Group/Archive_9#Bulk_inactivity_removals|12]] = 13) users have been retired/resigned from the BAG due to inactivity, per [[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group#Activity requirements|our new activity requirements]] ([[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy/Archive 28#Should BAG members have an activity requirement?|discussion]]).
<blockquote>
BAG members are expected to be active on Wikipedia to have their finger on the pulse of the community. After two years without any bot-related activity (such as posting on [[:Category:Wikipedia bots|bot-related pages]], posting on a bot's talk page, or operating a bot), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice. Retired members can re-apply for BAG membership as normal if they wish to rejoin the BAG.</blockquote>
*Two BAG members retired
** {{User|Madman}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=891278258 retired].
** {{User|BU Rob13}} [[WP:VANISHED|vanished]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ABot_Approvals_Group&type=revision&diff=905528110&oldid=891388521 retired].
* Three new BAG members have been voted in, welcome to the BAG!
** {{User|Primefac}} joined on 2018-12-12 ([[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group/nominations/Primefac|RfBAG]]). Primefac operates {{User|PrimeBOT}} which does a [[User:PrimeBOT#Tasks|plethora of tasks]].
** {{User|TheSandDoctor}} joined on 2019-01-21 ([[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group/nominations/TheSandDoctor|RfBAG]]). TheSandDoctor operates several bots including {{User|DeprecatedFixerBot}}.
** {{User|Enterprisey}} joined on 2019-08-07 ([[Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group/nominations/Enterprisey|RfBAG]]). Enterprisey operates {{User|EnterpriseyBot}}, which does a [[User:EnterpriseyBot#Tasks|plethora of tasks]], {{User|RemindMeBot}} which posts reminders, and codes several scripts.

We thank former members for their service and wish Madman a happy retirement. We note that Madman and BU Rob13 were not inactive and could resume their BAG positions if they so wished, should their retirements happens to be temporary.

;BOTDICT
Two new entries feature in the [[WP:BOTDICT|bots dictionary]]
*[[WP:BOTDICT#Editor-hostile wikitext|''Editor-hostile wikitext'']] – describes wikitext structuring that is editor hostile, even if it renders correctly
*[[WP:BOTDICT#Threshold of usefulness|''Spectrum of usefulness'']] – describes how tasks are deemed useful or not

;BOTPOL
*[[WP:BAGREQ|Activity requirements]]: BAG members now have an activity requirement. The requirements are very light, one only needs to be involved in a bot-related area at some point within the last two years. For purpose of meeting these requirements, discussing a bot-related matter anywhere on Wikipedia counts, as does operating a bot ([[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy/Archive 28#Should BAG members have an activity requirement?|RFC]]).
*[[WP:COPYVIOFLAG|Copyvio flag]]: Bot accounts may be additionally marked by a [[WP:CRAT|bureaucrat]] upon BAG request as being in the [[Special:ListUsers/copyviobot|"copyviobot" user group]] on Wikipedia. This flag allows using the API to add metadata to edits for use in the New pages feed ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 12#New bot-like access group|discussion]]). There is currently [[Special:ListUsers/copyviobot|1]] bot using this functionality.
*[[WP:MASSCREATION|Mass creation]]: The restriction on mass-creation (semi-automated or automated) was extended from ''articles'', to ''all [[Wikipedia:Reader#Project versus content|content-pages]]''. There are subtleties, but ''content'' here broadly means whatever a reader could land on when browsing the mainspace in normal circumstances (e.g. Mainspace, Books, most Categories, Portals, ...). There is also a warning that [[WP:MEATBOT]] still applies in other areas (e.g. Redirects, Wikipedia namespace, Help, maintenance categories, ...) not explicitely covered by [[WP:MASSCREATION]].

;BOTREQs and BRFAs
As of writing, we have...
* 20 active [[WP:BOTREQ|BOTREQs]], please help if you can!
* 14 open BRFAs and 1 BRFA in need of BAG attention (see [[Wikipedia:BAG/Status|live status]]).
* In 2018, 96 bot task were [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Approved/Archive 14|approved]]. An [[WP:AWB|AWB]] search shows approximately 29 were withdrawn/expired, and 6 were denied.
* Since the start of 2019, 97 bot task were [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Approved|approved]]. Logs show 15 were [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval#Expired/withdrawn requests|withdrawn/expired]], and 15 were [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval#Denied requests|denied]].
* 10 inactive bots have been deflagged (see [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 13#Inactive bots - May 2019|discussion]]). 5 other bots have been deflagged per operator requests or similar (see [[Special:Permalink/896996617#Updates|discussion]]).

;New things
*All bot-related discussion pages now have a [[Wikipedia:Bots/ArchiveBox|centralized and searchable archive box]] (see [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_13#New_archive_box|discussion]]). Discussions are searchable per noticeboard, or globally.
*{{tl|Bot}} now supports {{para|status|expired}} (see [[Template talk:Bot#status=expired|discussion]]). This led to the deletion of [[:Category:Indefinitely blocked Wikipedia bots]] as useless (see [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 July 26#Category:Indefinitely blocked Wikipedia bots|discussion]]).
*[[WP:BOTREQ]] now mentions [[WP:SCRIPTREQ]] and [[WP:AWBTASKS]] as alternatives to bot requests.
*The [[WP:CREATEBOT|bot creation guide]] now mentions [[Help:Creating a bot#Bot Flag|bot flags]], and two new languages [[Help:Creating a bot#Awk|Awk]] and [[Help:Creating a bot#MATLAB|MATLAB]]. Other minor tweaks have been made.
*[[User:AAlertBot|AAlertBot]] has received major code updates. In particular, [[WP:AALERTS]] will now report [[WP:SPLIT|splits]], [[WP:MERGE|mergers]], and [[WP:AFC|AFC submissions]].
*[[User:Citation bot|Citation bot]] has received several updates ([[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 10]]/[[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 11|11]]/[[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 12|12]]/[[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 13|13]]/[[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 14|14]]/[[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 15|15]]/[[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 16|16]]/[[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 17|17]]). In particular, the bot stopped the automated removal of {{para|publisher}} from {{tl|cite journal}}, and stopped the automated addition of [[CiteSeerX]] links, and now uses [[meta:Help:OAuth|OAuth]] to authenticate those who make requests of the bot.

== Help me/us!!!! ==

Hello!

First of all, thank you very much for having developed [[Module:TNT]]. It is a good initiative, which Catalan wikipedians (who are interested and working in the internationalization of modules and templates) have made known me. I am Catalan and my level of English is intermediate, excuse me ...

I am finalizing (improving) a column diagram, which uses TNT; Program with about 2500 lines of code. Also to get some more functionality and at the instance of these wikipedians cited, I created [[Module:TNTTools]], and other derived modules. Also I created some (minor) modules and templates (i.e. [[Module: BrewerColors]] used in [[Cynthia Brewer]]).

But after by copying these to the English Wikipedia: [[User:Pppery]] is requesting to delete my modules and that he despises them included your TNT. You can follow the thread of the TNTTools conversation on [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2019_October_25#Module:SimpleArgs]]. Perhaps you would like to add yourself to the discussion and explain the reasons for the suitability of TNT.

Thank you so much!.

[[User:Jmarchn|Jmarchn]] ([[User talk:Jmarchn|talk]]) 06:52, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

: Hi [[User:Jmarchn|Jmarchn]], thanks for using TNT!  I will look at the discussion in depth in the morning, but a quick suggestion -- large wikis are very hard to change (simply by their nature), and many people (I have seen Pppery especially active at that) tend to push back on some of those changes. This is neither good or bad per say, but we should always keep in mind what we want to achieve. Should we force every wiki to use the same template/module right away? I think we should not. Instead, I think our goal should be to work with the smaller wikis, and build up a library of good quality modules/templates that are translatable and well tested (including many unit tests). The more languages use a module, the more likely large wikis will also adapt it. In short - you always want to pick your fights - some are worth it, some could wait a bit longer :) --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik#top|talk]]) 07:07, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

The '''Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met''' will be hosted at the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] on '''Saturday November 16, 2019''' in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2019|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

== Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks! ==

Hello, 

[[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|Google Code-In]], Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia. 

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at [[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|the contest page]] and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community. 

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org. 

Thank you!

Hi,Yurik. I saw [[:ca:special:diff/21106721|this change]] you did in cawiki. Now, I'm trying to match basic modules between cawiki and wikidata version, and this is different in wikidata and also in enwiki. Should them be upgrade ?. If so, could you do it?. Thanks.

Wikipedia Day is always a big day for [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC|Wikimedia NYC]]. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about [[m:Wikipedia 20|Wikipedia's 20th anniversary]], Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbqxsJaTDQM The event will be broadcast live via YouTube]. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat!

We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

== Would You be kindly abele to review recent changes in [[mw:Template:Graph:Lines]] an [[mw:Template:Graph:Stacked]] templates ==

Hi {{u|Yurik|Yuri}}. As author of [[mw:Template:Graph:Lines]], [[mw:Template:Graph:Stacked]] (and [[mw:Template:Graph:Population_history]]) would You be kindly abele to review my recent changes in that templates, - e.g. [[mw:Special:Diff/4222703/4472303]], [[mw:Special:Diff/4466895/4471805]].

Specifically I've added <code>"init":"{{{width|...}}}"</code> workaround in <code>"rightwidth"</code> signal definition, since I found out that this signal in combination with chart title causes extra blank space at the left side of some charts (with long enough title, and short enough y axis labels).
I saw that You'd added this signal in [[mw:Special:Diff/2340643]], by suggestion of [https://github.com/arvind arvind] given in this [https://github.com/vega/vega/issues/691#issuecomment-270860874 Vega issue #691 / 270860874] comment. So I assumed that You may have more information on this topic, and/or maybe could invent more elegant solution😊.

Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's ''Bots Newsletter'', your source for all things [[Wikipedia:Bots|bot]]. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, ''and more'', are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

Our [[Wikipedia:Bots/News/2019-08|last issue]] was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots.

<span style="font-size:125%">'''Overall'''</span><br />
* Between September and December 2019, there were 33 [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval|BRFA]]s. Of these, {{yeac}} 25 were approved, and 8 were unsuccessful ({{nayd}} 3 denied, {{idkc}} 3 withdrawn, and [[File:Image-Symbol wait old.svg|20px|alt=Expired|link=]] 2 expired).

*'''TParis goes away, UTRSBot goes kaput''': [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_13#User:UTRSBot|noted]] that [[User:UTRSBot|the bot]] for maintaining on-wiki records of [[Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System|UTRS]] appeals stopped working a while ago. [[User:TParis|TParis]], the semi-retired user who had previously run it, said they were "unlikely to return to actively editing Wikipedia", and the bot had been vanquished by trolls submitting bogus UTRS requests on behalf of real blocked users. While [[OAuth]] was a potential fix, neither maintainer had time to implement it. TParis offered to access to the UTRS WMFLabs account to any admin identified with the WMF: "I miss you guys a whole lot [...] but I've also moved on with my life. Good luck, let me know how I can help". Ultimately, [[User:SQL|SQL]] ended up in charge. Some progress was made, and the bot continued to work another couple months — but as of press time, UTRSBot has not edited since November 2019.
*'''Article-measuring contest resumed''': The [[WP:List of Wikipedians by article count|list of Wikipedians by article count]], which had lain dead for several years, was triumphantly resurrected by [[User:GreenC|GreenC]] following a [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests/Archive_79#List of Wikipedians by article count|bot request]].

*'''Curb Safe Charmer adopts reFill''': [[User:TAnthony|TAnthony]] [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_13#reFill_2|pointed out]] that [[WP:ReFill|reFill 2]]'s bug reports were going unanswered; creator [[User:Zhaofeng Li|Zhaofeng Li]] had retired from Wikipedia, and a maintainer was needed. As of June 2021, [[User:Curb Safe Charmer|Curb Safe Charmer]] had [[Wikipedia_talk:ReFill#Maintainer?|taken up the mantle]], saying: "Not that I have all the skills needed but better me than nobody!

[[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] wasted no time, and submitted [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot III 66|DannyS712 bot III 66]] the next day; it passed two days after that.
*'''200,000 bios get short descs''': Along a similar vein, [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Bot1058 6|Bot1058 6]] was approved to remove disambiguation pages from [[:Category:Monitored short pages]] and a new bot ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DemonDays64 Bot|DemonDays64 Bot]]) changed lots of [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol|http]] links to [[HTTPS|https]] using [[WP:JWB|JavaScript Wiki Browser]]. One particularly neat task, [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PearBOT 5|PearBOT 5]], automatically generated [[Wikipedia:Short description|short descriptions]] for more than 200,000 biographies.

What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?
*What happens when two bots want to clerk the same page?
*What happens when an adminbot goes hog wild?
*Will reFill ever get fixed?
*What's up with [[User:ListeriaBot|ListeriaBot]], anyway?

== Data namespace ==
Dear Yuri!  How can we better connect c:Data: tabular files (a beautiful but underused idea), WD properties whose values are a table (ditto), and existing medium-sized datasets that people want to archive + reference on Commons?  
* clearer workflow for UploadWizard supporting people trying to upload data
* more visible Data: namespace, some way to transclude tables cross-project
* ...
* profit!

Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's ''Bots Newsletter'', your source for all things [[WP:BOTS|bot]]. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever.

Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost ''two'' years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020.

<span style="font-size:150%">'''Overall'''</span><br />
In the first half of 2020, there were 71 [[WP:BRFA|BRFA]]s. Of these, {{yeac}} 59 were approved, and 12 were unsuccessful (with {{nayd}} 8 denied, {{idkc}} 2 withdrawn, and [[File:Image-Symbol wait old.svg|20px|alt=Expired|link=]] 2 expired).

*Two new bots dropped in January 2020: [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ST47Bot|ST47Bot]], the successor to [[User:STBot|STBot]], and [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Seppi333Bot|Seppi333Bot]], whose task was to perform a weekly update of four "massive" wikitables for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular Biology|WikiProject Molecular Biology]].

*On February 1, some [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_13#ListeriaBot_behaving_poorly|concerns]] were raised about [[User:ListeriaBot|ListeriaBot]] performing "nonsense" edits. Semi-active operator [[User:Magnus Manske|Magnus Manske]] (who originally coded the [[Wikipedia:Magnus_Manske_Day|Phase II software|precursor]] of [[MediaWiki]]) was pinged.

* In March, a long [[Wikipedia_talk:Bot_policy/Archive_28#Bot_expirations?|discussion]] was started at [[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy]] by [[User:Skdb|Skdb]] about the troubling trend of bots "expiring" without explanation after their owners became inactive. This can happen for a variety of reasons -- [[API|API]] changes break code, hosting providers' software updates break code, hosting accounts lapse, software changes make bots' edits unnecessary, and policy changes make bots' edits unwanted. The most promising solution seemed to be [[wikitech:Toolforge|Toolforge]] hosting (although it has some problems of its own, like the occasional necessity of refactoring code).
* Some of the twelve bot tasks approved this month were [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/TheSandBot 6|TheSandBot 6]] (removing blocked users from [[:Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues]]), and [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/TheSandBot 7|TheSandBot 7]] (removing ''unblocked'' users from [[:Category:Wikipedians who are indefinitely blocked for promotional user names]]). [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/SDZeroBot 2|SDZeroBot 2]] was approved to refine geographic stub tags. New bots approved this month were [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MajavahBot|MajavahBot]] (to patrol [[WP:EFFPR]]), [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/SDZeroBot|SDZeroBot]] (to merge stub tags), and [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Bitbotje|Bitbotje]] (fixing DISPLAYTITLE modifications, DEFAULTSORT errors and broken behavior switches in [[WP:DRAFTS|draftspace]]).

*A [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_13#Re-examination_of_ListeriaBot|discussion]] on the bot noticeboard, "Re-examination of ListeriaBot", was started by [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]], who pointed out repeated operation outside the scope of its BRFA (i.e. editing pages in mainspace, and adding [[WP:NFCC|non-free images]] to others). Some said it was doing good work, and others said it was operating beyond its remit. It was <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AListeriaBot blocked]</span> on April 10; the next day it was unblocked, reblocked from article space, reblocked "for specified non-editing actions", unblocked, and indeffed. The next week, several [[Special:Diff/951794012|safeguards]] were implemented in its code by Magnus; the bot was allowed to roam free once more on April 18.
*[[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ST47ProxyBot|ST47ProxyBot]] joined the stable in April, after a BRFA started in December was finally completed. As an adminbot, it was authorized to block [[IP address]]es belonging to [[open proxy|open proxies]], public [[VPN service]]s, and [[web host]]s. New tasks approved for existing bots included [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BHGbot 5|BHGbot 5]] ([[WP:DIFFUSE|diffusing]] categories),  [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/TheSandBot 9|TheSandBot 9]] (taking over some tasks from the inactive [[User:RonBot|RonBot]]), and [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/WugBot 4|WugBot 4]] (updating data at {{tl|Interactive COVID-19 maps}}). Also, [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DatBot 10|DatBot 10]] was approved to scale down non-free [[SVG]]s — I didn't even know that was a thing.
* A [[Wikipedia_talk:Bot_policy/Archive_28#Making_BOTCOMM_more_explicit|discussion]] at [[Wikipedia talk:Bot policy]] was started by [[User:Thryduulf|Thryduulf]] about whether [[WP:BOTCOMM]] should explicitly specify that bot operators must be responsive to concerns raised on English Wikipedia specifically (as opposed to [[Phabricator]], [[SourceForge]], [[wikitech:Toolforge|Toolforge]], et cetera). Eventually, the policy was amended to its [[Wikipedia:Bot_policy#Good_communication|current form]]:
:<blockquote>Issues and enquiries are typically expected to be handled on the English Wikipedia. Pages reachable via [[WP:SUL|unified login]], like a talk page at [[:commons:Main Page|Commons]] or at [[:it:Main Page|Italian Wikipedia]] could also be acceptable [...] External sites like [[Phabricator]] or [[GitHub]] (which require separate registration or do not allow for IP comments) and email (which can compromise [[Wikipedia:Outing|anonymity]]) can supplement on-wiki communication, but do not replace it.</blockquote>

*In July 2017, [[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] made a [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_14#Partial_block_of_dashboard_bot|proposal]] that a section of the [[Wikipedia:Dashboard]] be devoted to bots and technical issues. In November 2019, [[Lua]] code was written superseding [[User:Legobot|Legobot]]'s tasks on that page, and operator [[User:Legoktm|Legoktm]] was asked to stop them so that the new code could be deployed. After no response to pings, a [[WP:PARTIALBLOCK|partial-block]] of Legobot for the dashboard was proposed. Some months later, on June 16, Headbomb said: "A full block serves nothing. A partial block solves all current issues [...] Just fucking do it. It's been 3 years now." The next day, however, Legoktm disabled the task, and the dashboard was successfully refactored.
*On June 7, [[User:RexxS|RexxS]] blocked [[User:Citation bot|Citation bot]] for [[WP:disruptive editing|disruptive editing]], saying it was "still removing links after request to stop". A couple weeks later, a [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_14#Citation_bot|discussion on the bots noticeboard]] was opened, saying "it is a widely-used and useful bot, but it has one of the longest block logs for any recently-operating bot on Wikipedia". While its last BRFA approval was in 2011, its code and functionality had changed dramatically since then, and [[User:AntiCompositeNumber|AntiCompositeNumber]] requested that BAG require a new BRFA. Maintainer [[User:AManWithNoPlan|AManWithNoPlan]] responded that most blocks were from years ago (when it lacked a proper [[test suite]]), and problems since then had mostly been one-off errors (like a [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive310#Citation_bot_is_making_unacceptable_proxy_edits_for_blocked_users|June 2019 incident]] in which a [[WP:LTA|LTA]] had "weaponized" the bot to harass editors).
*[[user:David Tornheim|David Tornheim]] opened a discussion about [[Wikipedia_talk:Bot_policy/Archive_28#Bot_code_--_can_remain_proprietary???|whether bots based on closed-source code should be permitted]], and proposed that they not. He cited a recent case in which a maintainer had said "I can only suppose that the code that is available on GitHub is not the actual code that was running on [the bot]". Some disagreed: [[User:Naypta|Naypta]] said that "I like free software as much as the next person, and I strongly believe that bot operators should make their bot code public, but I don't think it should be that they must do so".
*Two new bots had their first BRFAs approved: [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yapperbot|Yapperbot]], to replace [[User:Legobot|Legobot]] for handling the [[WP:FRS|Feedback Request Service]], and [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/NoSandboxesHere|NoSandboxesHere]], to remove {{tl|user sandbox}} from articles in draftspace using [[:Category:Non-userspace pages using User sandbox]].

More information about how to connect is available [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetAfrofuturist|on the meetup page]]. 

Our focus will be on the exhibition ''[[Before Yesterday We Could Fly]]'' inspired by [[Seneca Village]], and featured art, artists, history and culture of the African diaspora.

We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person! 

We are also running a Met Afrofuturist chat channel on our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Discord|Wikimedia NYC Discord server]] for the whole monthlong campaign.

Hi Wiki-Yorkers,

We are reaching out as part of our community-building efforts at [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC|Wikimedia NYC]]. Our regional group is engaged in a strategic planning process to sharpen our strategy for the next three years, and we would like your input. Given your connection to us and your experience with Wikimedia NYC, I would be grateful if you would be willing to share some of your perspectives and insights as we think about our next chapter.

[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDs0eLjMp4dF16GZBoF9osrR6wm-TTM4zdSuODDAKOvlsbQA/viewform Attached is an anonymous survey], which will remain active until February 28. Responses will go directly to Barretto Consulting and the Wikimedia NYC board will receive responses in aggregate and to identify cross-cutting themes. Please take some time to answer it and share your thoughts with us.

{{Clickable button 2|Fill out our Wikimedia NYC survey!|class=mw-ui-progressive|url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDs0eLjMp4dF16GZBoF9osrR6wm-TTM4zdSuODDAKOvlsbQA/viewform}}

Thank you so much. We appreciate all your ideas and community spirit.
