X's edit counter

Hi Cyberpower, I have a query about the opt-in for the edit counter. I noticed you opened an RfC on this on 4 June, but closed it early on 22 June and directed people instead to the RfC at Meta. The latter decided to retain the opt-in. However, you then wrote that the English Misplaced Pages had decided to remove it, even though the local RfC was cut short and (apparently) superceded by the one on Meta.

If there's a proposal to remove the opt-in here, could I ask you to hold a 30-day RfC about this at a central location, and advertise it widely in case people believe their comments on Meta were sufficient? SlimVirgin 20:48, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Sure. Will you do the honors of launching that RfC?—cyberpower _Offline 04:32, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Created the RfC here. Where would you recommend it be advertised?—cyberpower _Online 08:42, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

RfX Report

Hi Cyberpower. :) I've finished Module:RFX report, as requested at WP:Lua requests, and it should more-or-less duplicate the functionality of User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report and remove the need for bot updates. Could you have a look at it and see if you think it is ready? If you're ok with it, I'm hoping you could stop Cyberbot I's RfX-updating task and redirect User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report to Template:RFX report. Best — Mr. Stradivarius 13:24, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Why was I never informed of this request?—cyberpower _Online 14:01, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have thought to tell you sooner. No particular reason, just absent-mindedness. — Mr. Stradivarius 14:09, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Also, if you think anything about the module needs tweaking, I'm sure we can work something out. — Mr. Stradivarius 14:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict × 2)I can't read the language. And I can't give the thumbs up for something I can't read.—cyberpower _Online 14:14, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok then, would you be willing to trust me that the code is good? It has failsafes if the pattern matching doesn't find any of the required data, and I've already checked it with a variety of recent RfAs. Actually, I'll tell you what - I'll make another module so that you can see how it handles arbitrary RfAs, not just ones that are open at the moment. I was thinking about splitting out that part of the code anyway. — Mr. Stradivarius 14:26, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

I want to see it in action first, and whale to the person who requested it without telling me. I'd like to give it a few months of review. I want to see it handle an RfB too.—cyberpower _Online 14:31, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I have now created Module:RFX table, which you are welcome to play around with. It does look like it could do with a few tweaks still, though - I didn't expect it to fail to get Beeblebrox's RfB end time, for example. — Mr. Stradivarius 16:13, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Signature

Hi, could you tell me why subst:ing User:Gilderien/Signature is displaying the whole page, rather than just the output? Thanks --Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 11:15, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Should work now. Try it again.—cyberpower _Online 11:28, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. May I ask what you did?--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 11:38, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Just look at the diff. I added safesubst: which substitutes the template or parsing syntax when the entire page gets substituted.—cyberpower _Online 11:40, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

PC1 tagging

Hi again Cyberpower. I was just answering an WP:RFPP request at the Number article, and I edit conflicted with Cyberbot II when adding {{pp-pc1}} to the page. This caused some unnecessary edits - see the page history. I mentioned this to you back in May - did you ever get round to rewriting the script? Best — Mr. Stradivarius 15:44, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Not really. I have improved the speed of detection. It tags immediately, which should reduce conflicts. Tagging the page with PC1 is unnecessary. As soon as you protect it, the bot tags it, meaning by the time you click edit, it's already tagged.—cyberpower _Online 16:41, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

TPm stuff

Hi, Cyberpower. I'm not sure if you are following the ArbCom case on the Tea Party movement situation, so I thought I'd stop by and give you a heads-up. The latest proposal by the Arbiters is here, with discussion developing on the associated Talk page. I bring it to your attention because if the proposal is acted upon, it will directly affect your role as discussion moderator. Also FYI, while the discussion has slowed on the Moderated Discussion Page, some of the same content dispute has been picked up on this noticeboard.
