Module:English Heritage listed building

Hi, the edit history indicates that you implemented this module in June. There's something wrong with the way the notes column is handled. On articles with notes, such as Grade I listed buildings in Maidstone and Grade I listed buildings in Derbyshire, the notes are appearing in the Grid ref. Geo-coordinates column with the intended contents of the subsequent columns pulled into the previous columns - so that Entry Number appears in the Notes column, etc.. Would you see if you can fix the placement. DavidCane (talk) 13:23, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DavidCane Thanks for the heads up. Should be fixed now. --Ahecht (TALK

Thanks. Looks good now. DavidCane (talk) 13:52, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for performing the move of Sonja Sigurðardóttir. Cheers! 2003:D5:AF2E:E600:9102:9FAF:E0C3:E661 (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

pageswap tag

Hey Ahecht. I really appreciate your pageswap script, and I like that it now includes a link back to the script. As I'm sure you've run into, there are occasionally some rather long move summaries in which the end gets cut off. E.g., this diff or this log entry for two recent technical requests.

To save on characters in move summaries, rather than using "(using pageswap GUI)", you could ask an admin to create a tag for the script via Special:Tags.

The only change you would need to make to the script to add the tag to all its edits is to replace the three instance in User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap-core.js of

watchlist: params.watch

with

watchlist: params.watch, tags: 'pageswap'

And a wikilink can be added to the tag via MediaWiki:Tag-pageswap – such as [[User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap|pageswap GUI]]. SilverLocust 💬 02:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

If any admin is willing to create the tag, I'd be happy to add it to the pageswap code. --Ahecht (TALK

Simple process for admin:

Click here and click "Create".
Click here and click "Publish page".

Thanks; I've created both now. Elli (talk | contribs) 19:17, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elli, SilverLocust: Thanks. I've updated the sandbox version and will copy it over to the main script after a bit of testing. --Ahecht (TALK

Module:Navbox and WP:PEIS

Cound we integrate {{Navbox with columns}} and {{Navbox with collapsible groups}} into Module:Navbox, just like zh:Module:NavboxV2? For example, instead of

Extended content

{{Navbox with collapsible groups
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| title = Title
| state = expanded
| selected = all
| group1 = Group1
| abbr1  = all
| list1  = List1
| group2 = Group2
| abbr2  = all
| list2  = {{Navbox with columns|child
  | col1width  = 33%
  | col2width  = 17%
  | col3width  = 33%
  | col4width  = 17%
  | col1header = Col1Header
  | col2header = Col2Header
  | col3header = Col3Header
  | col4header = Col4Header
  | col1       = {{Navbox with columns|child
    | colwidth = 50%
    | colstyle = text-align:center;
    | col1header = Col1.1Header
    | col1 = Col1.1
    | col1footer = Col1.1Footer
    | col1footercolspan = 2
    | col2header = Col1.2Header
    | col2 = Col1.2
    }}
  | col2       = Col2
  | col3       = {{Navbox with columns|child
    | colwidth = 33%
    | colstyle = text-align:center;
    | col1header = Col3.1Header
    | col1 = Col3.1
    | col2header = Col3.2Header
    | col2 = Col3.2
    | col3header = Col3.3Header
    | col3 = Col3.3
    }}
  | col4       = Col4
  }}
| group3 = Group3
| abbr3  = all
| list3  = {{Navbox|child
  | group1 = Group3.1
  | list1  = List3.1
  | group2 = Group3.2
  | list2  = List3.2
  }}
}}

You could do

Extended content

{{Navbox
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| type = vertical_collapsible<!-- Navbox with collapsible groups -->
| title = Title
| state = expanded
| selected = all
| group1 = Group1
| abbr1  = all
| list1  = List1
| group2 = Group2
| abbr2  = all
| list2  = child
  | 2_type = horizontal<!-- Navbox with columns -->
  | 2_col1width  = 33%
  | 2_col2width  = 17%
  | 2_col3width  = 33%
  | 2_col4width  = 17%
  | 2_col1header = Col1Header
  | 2_col2header = Col2Header
  | 2_col3header = Col3Header
  | 2_col4header = Col4Header
  | 2_col1       = child
    | 2_1_type = horizontal
    | 2_1_colwidth = 50%
    | 2_1_colstyle = text-align:center;
    | 2_1_col1header = Col1.1Header
    | 2_1_col1 = Col1.1
    | 2_1_col1footer = Col1.1Footer
    | 2_1_col1footercolspan = 2
    | 2_1_col2header = Col1.2Header
    | 2_1_col2 = Col1.2
  | 2_col2       = Col2
  | 2_col3       = child
    | 2_3_type = horizontal
    | 2_3_colwidth = 33%
    | 2_3_colstyle = text-align:center;
    | 2_3_col1header = Col3.1Header
    | 2_3_col1 = Col3.1
    | 2_3_col2header = Col3.2Header
    | 2_3_col2 = Col3.2
    | 2_3_col3header = Col3.3Header
    | 2_3_col3 = Col3.3
  | 2_col4       = Col4
| group3 = Group3
| abbr3  = all
| list3  = child
  | 3_type = vertical<!-- Default sets to vertical -->
  | 3_group1 = Group3.1
  | 3_list1  = List3.1
  | 3_group2 = Group3.2
  | 3_list2  = List3.2
}}

Dabao qian (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dabao qian That's a great idea, and it was certainly on my to-do list until I looked deeper into those templates and realized just how much work would be involved in integrating them. "Collapsible groups" can already be replaced by using a child groups, swapping |groupN= for |N_title=, swapping |groupstyle= for |N_titlestyle=, and swapping |abbrN=ABBREVIATION for N_state = {{#ifeq:{{{selected|}}|ABBREVIATION|uncollapsed|{{{stateN|collapsed}}}}}. For example, the first group in Template:Navbox_with_collapsible_groups#Basic_example could be replaced with a normal navbox that used

  |list1 = subgroup
  |1_title = [[University of Michigan#Academic profile|<span style="color:#00008B;">Academics</span>]]
  |1_titlestyle=background:#FFD700;color:#00008B;
  |1_state = {{#ifeq:{{{selected|}}|academics|uncollapsed|{{{state1|collapsed}}}}}
  |1_list1 =
* [[University of Michigan College of Engineering|College of Engineering]]
* [[University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts|College of Literature, Science and the Arts]]
* [[Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy]]
* [[University of Michigan Law School|Law School]]
* [[University of Michigan Health System|Medical School]]
* [[Ross School of Business]]

And also needs to add |N_navbar=plain to avoid the v/d/e link. For "Columns", how to distinguish listN or colN? In zh:Module:NavboxV2, we use listN/colN prefix and the - notation (like listx-listy or colx-coly). But for childN_/subgroupN_ prefix or only numeric prefix, it will be hard to distinguish listN or colN. Dabao qian (talk) 19:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dabao qian |N_navbar=plain is automatic when using the N_ notation so it isn't needed. Doing columns would require a more intensive re-write of the module than I have time for at the moment. --Ahecht (TALK

Something bad happened here

... [1] — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ Oops, thanks for the heads up. I'll have to take a look at the script. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:33, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Special:Diff/1245362491. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 15:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. How hard is it to write a script? I would like to have a go at writing one which would help clean out Category:Articles with conflicting quality ratings. There would be three actions to choose for each page ("Remove conflicting class", "Use conflicting class" or "Skip") — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ It really depends on how much you're familiar with Javascript. Most of my script writing has been based on taking other people's logic and adding features, fixing bugs, or improving the UI (the draft sorter script was based on User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, my pageswap script was based on User:Andy M. Wang/pageswap, my templatesearch script was based on User:SiBr4/TemplateSearch.js, etc.), so my suggestion would be to find a script that's close enough to what you want to do and dry to decode it. For what you're doing, draftsorter would be a good place to start, but you could strip out all the code related to jquery.chosen and dealing with predictions . --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm not familiar with Javascript at all, so it's probably going to take me a long time. But if I have a go, do you mind helping me? (Might not be for a while ...) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, feel free to reach out when the time comes. --Ahecht (TALK

Use a colon instead of a period

Could User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap-core.js please be updated so that when one of the common move reasons at the "Swap" form is selected, it will be followed by a colon instead of a period in the move log entries (like at Special:Redirect/logid/164530745, for example)? The behavior is currently inconsistent with the one at Special:MovePage, where a colon (not a period) would appear in the move log entries, e.g., at Special:Redirect/logid/164552365. GTrang (talk) 00:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GTrang I've implemented that in the sandbox version. Feel free to try it out. It will get copied over to the main script the next time I am making revisions. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

mapframe directly so it doesn't count as Lua time

That looks like an interesting trick. May prevent so much use of cache purging to clean up pages as more than about 5 seconds usual Lua time use can break pages badly after an edit if the back end server infrastructure has problems. I will see how it works on a heavily edited page by vandals perhaps best after you have pointed me towards the #tag documentation and then roll out to the other pages that I know call big raw geojson templates ChaseKiwi (talk) 23:35, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChaseKiwi It wasn't my idea -- it's documented in the first bullet point under "Note:" at the top of Template:Maplink/doc. You can thank Jackmcbarn for that. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 00:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ta - I must have glanced over that point one day early on in my use of mapframe functionality. ChaseKiwi (talk) 01:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scripts/refresh

Hi :) I noticed that the script does not allow null editing in the links here of a category, would it be possible to enable that? --GryffindorD (talk) 20:08, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GryffindorD I've modified the sandbox version at User:Ahecht/sandbox/Scripts/refresh.js so that it works from pages such as Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:X or Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:X to null edit linking pages instead of transcluding pages (for templates) or category members. Please try it out and let me know if it works as expected, and I'll copy it over to the main script. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 23:23, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
