[change] Re:Your talk page
Thank you, but I prefer not to archive my talk page cause, it creates alot of pages, when old disscussion can be found when going through the histroy. Oysterguitarist 22:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I know more pages is not a problem. I just don't see a need to create an archive. Oysterguitarist 14:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Well you want it archived I don't so, I'll create one archive for past disscussions, but I'm not linking it on my talk page, hows that sound? Oysterguitarist 22:03, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've also sent you an e-mail. Oysterguitarist 22:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
[change] Welcome back!
Welcome back from your trip! How was it? Did you like it? Maybe you could tell us a little bit about it? Cheers, Razorflame 21:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'd rather not "tell" you about it; instead, I'll share it with you by uploading a few photos to Commons in a few days! :D - Huji reply 22:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
[change] Main page
I reset the mod function on the main page back to 13. You had set it to 1. A mod of one will always result in 0 ( X/1 = X, there is never a remainder). If the position of the current article to currentweek needs to be adjusted, it needs to be done with the modifier to the current week prior to mod being used. Adjusting after mod would lead to selecting articles outside the number of existing ones. Adjusting prior would only cause problems near the start of the year when using a negative adjustment ie. week 2, adjust -3: -1 mod 13= article-1 but week 24, adjust -3: 21 mod 13 works fine. All positive adjust would work fine. -- Creol(talk) 00:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- (Oops my bad!) I did that, because your edit summary said "revert changes to mod setup" but it didn't revert the last change. I was under the impression that you made a typo while reverting, and didn't think that it might be an intentional modification. Anyways, I'm okay with this new setting :) - Huji reply 18:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[change] Bot
I just created the Bot American EBot, and Lights told me to come to you. You have the access to activate my bot, right? I would just want it to Categorize, Languages, etc. (manually, not when I'm not around). If so what do I do to allow/activate the bot for use? -- AmericanEagle 01:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- "You have the access to activate my bot, right?" No I don't! I'm afraid nobody does, except yourself. "You" should activate it and run it. If you want a bot flag, you should go to Wikipedia talk:Bots, but I guess that is not what you're asking here. If you are using Pywikipediabot then things should be easy. Just install Python and the bot, and follow the instructions here to make the bot login with its own account name and give it orders. If there is a specific question, ask out. - Huji reply 16:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[change] Bot problem
I have been running a bot since a few days and you seem to know a lot about bots. My bot runs the interwiki.py script only. If I set the script to -years mode, it works fine. However when trying to use the -start mode it seems to malfunktion and keeps on giving me this line:
retrieving Allpages special page for wikipedia from A, namespace 0
the bot keeps on coming with this line and doesn't start editing. I acces the internet through a firewall and maybe a proxy server, but I'm not sure. But what puzzles me, is that -years works and -start doesn't.....The life of brian (talk) 20:03, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- What if you try -start:1 does it make the bot work? I'm asking this, because usually, year pages need more interwiki updates than other articles do; so your bot may have more things to do on year pages, but may find little to do with the article pages. - Huji reply 17:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, it just comes with the same line just with "1" instead of "A". Thanks a lot anyway. The life of brian (talk) 18:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please paste the output of the bot on http://rafb.net/paste and give me the link - Huji reply 16:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[change] Linktank
Nice bit of code. I tweaked it just a little.[1] Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 14:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! I actually acquired it from en:User:Dispenser. - Huji reply 18:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I see; and he/she used a lowercase 't' all-around. Anyways, all seems good; please to meet you. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 15:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
[change] Tools?
Hi! I am pretty new to the Simple (tho I already got a Barnstar!!), but an old time editor (3+ years) at the English Wikipedia. I was wondering if there are tools like Twinkle that I might be able to install here? I feel like I'd like to do some new/recent page patrolling and vandal fighting in addition to creating articles and improving the level of simplistic English on others. Sincerely, Bstone (talk) 20:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your interest in the issue. Actually, I never got time to transfer Twinkle to Simple English Wikipedia. I will do it as soon as I have the time. It is also good to mention it on WP:ANB so perhaps another admin can deal with it. - Huji reply 11:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[change] JS question
I am curious about a situation which is much more in your area of talent than mine. Given the issues with the Soxbot status bot and the number of users who seem to want status updates listed for them, I am wondering how hard this would be to do via javascript.
Basically the main requirement would be to have the user define a variable for their status page and each of possibly 3 conditions (on line, off line, busy/unknown) and have the script supply 3 images at the top of their pages which links to an auto-revert like command which reverts to a specific version of their status page when clicked. The navpopups revert function should be able to be easily tweaked to auto-revert {page suchandsuch variable} to {suchandsuch variable version} but this is beyond my capabilities. The users themselves would set the variables (for example) Statuspage, Status1, Status2, and Status3 and the script would automatically revert the Statuspage to the version supplied by Status(1,2 or 3 as selected) when the appropriate button is clicked.
Rather than relying on a bot to spam up the works to trace a users last contrib, each user could simply log in/open any page and click a button to say they online, then click offline before they leave.
Workable idea? -- Creol(talk) 06:35, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, there is such a tool, which I am using right now. It adds only links to the top of the page, though. Chenzw Talk 06:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- The idea is workable, and a Gadget can be created for that. However, special care should be taken so that other users can't mess up with it. I guess (not sure) that we can use a fake JS subpage for that; as you know, only the user (and admins) can edit JS subpages, so this will make sure others can't tweak the script and mess up. The script should get the username from the page automatically (easily possible) and do an asynchronus (AJAX based) edit to another page. I'm not sure if reverts can be used like that.. I have to think about it. - Huji reply 11:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
