Talk page changes

If you're wondering why I deleted or created your talk page, see Structured Discussions/Deprecation. I've been reviewing all Flow boards with only a header and no actual posts, and deleting them or converting them to wikitext. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 01:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Translations:Help:Templates/18/sk

To answer your question, I had reverted that IP edit due to the extraneous trailing "$1" and pointless nowiki pair they added and left behind. Cleaned up (as in your revision) it might well be a better translation, but the IP's previous edit (probably) to a translation unit was to add 2 pairs of useless code tags to the end, giving me low confidence in their translations.

Yeah, sure, that makes sense. But the version you reverted to was a translation of the older version of the source text, and the "outdated" bit marking that was lost by your reverts (this is a software bug that will be fixed soon). So I was going to restore the outdated bit, and then noticed that there seemed to be a valid update buried in the noise. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 19:01, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

FlaggedRevsConnector extension

I can see that you made some changes on this extension page, I just open a topic about things I found about it. Maybe can you help ? Mahabarata73 (talk) 14:40, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

No idea, sorry. Try asking MLRodrigue instead. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 16:52, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thank. Mahabarata73 (talk) 13:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your change on MWStakeCommonUIRegisterSkinSlotComponents extensions: I saw my error, wanted to cancel it but you did it before me. Mahabarata73 (talk) 21:59, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Inconsistency

The hook MWStakeRunJobsTriggerRegisterHandlers is visible on this page. This link is visible on this page Category:MWStakeRunJobsTriggerRegisterHandlers extensions — MediaWiki with only one category at the bottom.

The hook MWStakeAlertBannersRegisterProviders is visible on this page hallowelt/mwstake-mediawiki-component-alertbanners. But the link is not visible on this page Category:MWStakeAlertBannersRegisterProviders extensions — MediaWiki (probably better to add it?) and there are 3 categories at the bottom of the page.

I don't know if there are missing categories for the first hook or if there are too many categories for the second one. What needs to be improved ? Mahabarata73 (talk) 22:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I've cleaned up a bit. My intention for the category structure here:

Category:Undocumented MediaWiki hooks is for hooks defined by MediaWiki core that nobody has written a documentation page on.

Hooks defined by extensions that exist on MediaWiki.org should have a the hook documentation as a subpage of the extension, like Extension:AbuseFilter/Hooks/AbuseFilter-builder. If no documentation page exists that can either be left red or added to Category:Undocumented extension hooks but since there's no systematic process involving that category creating an empty stub doesn't help anything IMO.

For hooks defined by extensions that don't have standard documentation pages on MediaWiki.org the hook page should just be red. That is Manual:Hooks/MWStakeAlertBannersRegisterProviders shouldn't exist. The category should exist always (because redlinked categories are bad) and should be manually added to Category:Extensions using unrecognized hooks and unlinked. If the external codebase is known a link can be added, but doesn't have to be. I think I must not have been able to find the alertbanners repo when I created that category years ago.

Category:Extensions using redlinked hooks is auto-generated if the hook page doesn't exist. It should be identical to Category:Extensions using unrecognized hooks
