refresh.js purge mode issues

Hello, User:Ahecht/Scripts/refresh.js doesn't seem to work when the purge link is pressed. An error is raised because postFail is not defined and for the API request that goes through, it complains that the title parameters should be titles. Also, using a static tag for the call to mw.notify so a single popup is updated rather than generating a new one each time would be nice. Otherwise, the null edit mode seems to be working really well. Thanks, – BrandonXLF (talk) 22:22, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BrandonXLF Thanks for letting me know. This is a combination of two things -- I did some modifications to the purge function a year ago to try to avoid the API timing out but it causes the title/titles error, and I recently did some updates to the null edit feature which seems to have broken the error message. I did a quick fix so both work now, although the purge function will be fairly slow since I'm purging one at a time (the API allows 50 at a time, but it times out when I try to actually do that many, so I still need to find out where the "sweet spot" is).
As for re-using the bubbles, having them stack was intentional, but you can put var refreshReuseBubble = true; in your common.js above the call to refresh.js to change this behavior. --Ahecht (TALK

Thanks for the quick fixes and the new config variable! As for the timeout issue, does it still occur if you use forcelinkupdate instead? – BrandonXLF (talk) 03:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BrandonXLF A non-recursive link update doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I have a version in the sandbox that sets the number of pages to purge at a time to the minimum required to make the ratelimit on par with that for null editing (so 3 at a time for normal users, 1 at a time for admins since they don't have a purge rate limit), but I'll have to test it more before making it live. --Ahecht (TALK

randomincategory not working at least for fa-wikipedia

Hi. Thank you for creating Random page in category tool. This is awesome and I've been using it for a long time.

I was trying to open a random page from this category on fa-wikipedia and noticed that the tool is not working and returns an error saying "There are no pages in the رده:حذف زمان‌دار منقضی شده category on fa.wikipedia.org." This link is the one I used and encountered the error. The tool is fine when you set the server on enwiki.

Can you please take a look at the issue? Thanks. Jeeputer Talk 16:50, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeeputer I can't read Farsi, but are you including the equivalent of "Category:" in the URL (for example, https://randomincategory.toolforge.org/Category:Fish instead of https://randomincategory.toolforge.org/Fish)? It may not be filtering that out correctly due to it being a right-to-left language. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 00:32, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I've tried both forms with and without namespace prefix and it does not work in either way. The tool used to work a few months ago. The page's title has a Zero-width non-joiner character, if it can help to debug. I can see that character is encoded into the URL I provided above: "حذف_زمان%E2%80%8Cدار_منقضی_شده". Maybe decoding URI components can help. Jeeputer Talk 00:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeeputer Thanks for the update. The only change that was made in the last few months was adding a maximum size limit for categories, but something in that new code must be breaking on Farsi titles. I did a partial rollback which fixed the issue, but I'll have to put a more permanent fix into place at some point in the future. --Ahecht (TALK

RandomInCategory example is broken

One of the examples on toolforge:randomincategory/README.html no longer works, since Category:All WikiProject Medicine articles was moved to Category:All WikiProject Medicine pages. On the bright side, now that the category contains pages from multiple namespaces, there's another chance to show off the namespace filtering option! jlwoodwa (talk) 06:21, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rhinerrhizopsis

Hello Ahecht, and thank you for your work. The genus of orchids called Rhinerrhizopsis is now a synonym of Bogoria according to Plants of the World Online.[1]https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:28849-1#synonyms As I understand it, I can't move the Rhinerrhizopsis article to Bogoria, because there is already an article with that name. I am not confident enough to do a "swap". Can you help please? Gderrin (talk) 21:12, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gderrin I flagged it for an administrator, since this should be done as a merge and not a swap. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's great. Thank you. Gderrin (talk) 21:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gderrin I replied at WP:RM/TR as well, but I moved the request to the contested section since there was already a failed merge proposal at Talk:Bogoria (plant)#Merger proposal from 2021. It was closed as "not at this time", so it may be worth opening a new merger discussion, but that would happen at that talk page, not the move requests page. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 23:51, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again for your work on this. I've done a "merger proposal" (Talk:Rhinerrhizopsis#Merger_proposal) and will get back to you in about a month, if that's okay. Gderrin (talk) 04:59, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested moves

Hello Ahecht, I'm new to working requests, I noticed this edit, is there no bot archiving? Do we remove the request when done working it? Hoping you can help a rookie. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 01:08, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime Nope, no bot. There was a discussion about making one a month or so ago, but I don't think anyone's taken the initiative. Requests are cleared immediately when completed, contested requests are removed 72 hours after the last comment. --Ahecht (TALK
