Template:Edit request/List

Hi! Recently your bot’s edits to Template:Edit request/List are marked as minor. This suppresses notification emails about the edits, which is annoying and is against the goal of making edit requests more visible. Could you please disable the minor edit flag?

Speaking of this page, Category:Commons protected edit requests has five subcategories, of which only two are listed. Could you also list Category:Commons protected edit requests (protection level)‎, Category:Commons protected edit requests (semi protected)‎ and Category:Commons protected edit requests (template protected)‎—or maybe tell the bot to list all subcategories it finds, to make it more future-proof? Thanks in advance! —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

The edits are still minor, and still only two subcategories are listed. Nothing’s resolved here. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

That would require a re-write, and i have currently no time for that. Sorry. But it is on my to-do list. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:10, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

I’m sorry to see that you’ve given up on that to-do list, but it’s your decision. Is the source code available somewhere so that others can do the rewrite without doing unnecessary extra work? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 07:36, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: Sorry for the late reply, https://pastebin.com/ewc9vz4v --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

BTW: If you have a toolsforge account, i can give you access to the bot if necessary or you copy the code to your own bot (then i can disable the task). Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the code! However, without an explicit free software license, I’m unfortunately legally not allowed to modify it.

I have a Toolforge account (with the same name as my wiki account), but I have no bot account, so if you would give me access to your bot, that would be perfect (but a license is still needed so that I can modify the code). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: You have been added to https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/sbot. The source code of the aforementioned file is licensed user en:WTFPL. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:34, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! I’ve put the code on GitLab and (hope to) have fixed the minor edit issue. I’d like to add the remaining subcategories as well, but that needs a bit more work. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

P.S. I put only that file on GitLab, but maybe you could publish other bots’ source codes there as well, to enable other people to see them. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:01, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Look for uncategorised files in a category - once off?

Hi. Is it possible to get the bot to look for uncategorised files in a specific category? I am finding numerous files that don't have categories in Category:Photographs by Justin Higuchi - it would be useful to have the bot scan this file as a once off so i can categorise any files without cats that it finds Gbawden (talk) 10:26, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I stopped developing new tools. Thank you for your understanding. The old uncat script is no longer working, due to missing resources on toolsforge. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:09, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

The Missing U Invisible Barnstar

		Boooo !!!! We miss you!! We wish you were more active, please log in soon and help us with the backlog!!
		Hi Steinsplitter, in 2015 you gave me a wakeup call, now it is an appropriate time to return the favor. Seriously, I have no idea to which extent you are busy in real life. But we miss you and it would be great to see you active again.

Best, --AFBorchert (talk) 19:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

@AFBorchert: Hi Andreas, It is nice to see that you are still around and thanks for remembering me. :) --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:03, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Steinsplitter, great to see that you are back and active again! Right now it is my turn to be less active due to my busy work life. Best, AFBorchert (talk) 15:40, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Template:PermissionTicket/Users

There is a strange sequence in the chrono of Template:PermissionTicket/Users/raw. Given that the table is incomplete I started investigating.

When the bot FuzzyBot moved Template:PermissionTicket/Users/raw from Template:OTRS/Users/raw on 27 May 2021 SteinsplitterBot blanked (15 December 2021) the page and then made two big changes (5 February). From that moment the table no longer contains the data in the second and third columns.

I tried looking for the source code but I couldn't find it. ZandDev (talk) 01:04, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Files with only hidden categories- does this bot tag ALL these files with "Media needing categories as of ..."

@Steinsplitter, Files with only hidden categories, does this bot tag ALL these files with "Media needing categories as of ..."

I have found many files (weeks or months old) with only hidden files, but your bot apparently misses them. What can cause this bot to skip or miss tagging these files as "Media needing categories as of ...?" Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 16:39, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Rotation of image

Please, have a look at en:Rothamsted_Research. The image has been rotated. Why? How can I put it right in the article? Per W (talk) 05:47, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

I often must rotate it twice or thrice to make the picture show correctly in all pages. Jim.henderson (talk) 16:27, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Just want to say...

THANK YOU. You, and them people who take care of renaming files, demonstrate an amazing reactivity. I've fallen into "Category:Satellite pictures of Cuba", fascinating pics and some are ever so useful but need clearer indications and dispatching in more localized categs and it's such a huge categ I don't even dare looking at how many pages there are in there (don't tell!). Been into that for some days now, and more often than not I don't even have time to finish a series before you lot have already renamed and rotated the ones I've already done. Which 'incentives' me into (sleeping less for the sake of) doing some more (so there's some good and some bad there but the bad is mine entirely and) I'm still gobsmacked again and again at how goddamn fast you lot are. Thanks again. Pueblo89 (talk) 19:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
