For articles that use Template:Infobox settlement I found
Probably with some bot work, this template could soon be directly included in 500000 article pages, and not so far on 1 million, as many places don't have a page in the English Wikipedia yet. Special tools could later be used to better exchange data with WikiData.
What to do first? I suggest working on

I'm on mobile now. Since I value your and other's comments, I ask you to close the BRFA as withdrawn by candidate instead of speedy decline. By the way, can I make 20 edits with the bot software and then review it after the edits are done with my primary account? Thanks. Ethically (Yours) 17:43, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
How do i get Anomie (not sure which bot) to not do this?[5]

You recently deleted my edits done to the Nordic Walking wikipedia article. What I wanted to point out was that, these are the first academic materials of nordic walking ever to have existed. I put them up there, because there seems to be quite a lot of controversy surrounding the origin of nordic walking. With no materials to see, how can people rely on the claim made? I mean, yes, they are available in Finnish, but I took the time to translate them. Is there anyway we could still use those? Perhaps under Mauri Repo's Wiki article or in some other manner? A redirect somewhere? Thank you in advance, 90.191.79.11 (talk) 13:39, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Anomie,

I've managed to implement Extension:Variables in lua, in an admittedly hacky way. See Module:Sandbox/Jackmcbarn/variables. I assume this isn't desirable. Unstrip seems like the easy target to prevent this kind of thing, but I think the bigger problem is the fact that mw:Extension:Cite produces side effects (and I think is unique in this regard). Thoughts? Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:50, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Why did you OK the removal of the mw.message methods? There were all sorts of cool uses for these - figuring out the size of a file thumbnail image so you could build HTML around it, getting Wikidata pages, and deliberately avoiding page reparsing, for example. There were more ideas I meant to try out with it... [6]
Honestly, I can't shake the feeling that trying to figure out a way to do anything useful at all with Wikidata is some kind of crime, and this is the punishment for trying. Wnt (talk) 19:37, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Anomie! Can you review my request (Nullzerobot) at mediawiki.org? Thank you :) --Nullzero (talk) 17:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Anomie. You probably want to take a look at AnomieBOT's entries on the spam blacklist for the Encyclopedia Dramatica article today. I imagine that is probably more persistent than you would want AnomieBOT to be. Not sure what the cause is, but it's occurring once every couple of weeks or so on various articles, and seems to stop after a few hours, or after 40-50 attempts. I've denied AnomieBOT from the Encyclopedia Dramatica article to stop the immediate problem; as the attempts seem to stop after a few hours, I'll remove the ((bots)) template tomorrow if you don't get to it first. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 09:14, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Would it be a good idea to rework the mw.message Scribunto library to only call into PHP to fetch message text (and not at all if newRawMessage is used), doing things like parameter substitution within Lua? I see a performance gain, but I'm worried about duplicating code. If it's a good idea, I'll code it up. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:03, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not on IRC, but I just came across Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Escalon Medical, which has the problem described at bugzilla:61953 - and still had it after I edited the page. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 09:45, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Anomie, I just noticed that your bot, User:AnomieBOT III, changes redirects to other language versions (which doesn't work) into soft redirects. The task was approved and the example I found was done correctly, so no complaints there, but such soft redirects are strongly discouraged. Per the lead of Wikipedia:Soft redirect: "Soft redirects to non-English language editions of Wikipedia should be avoided because they will generally be unhelpful to English-language readers." I thnk it would be better if you changed it to e.g. a proposed deletion or something similar, like I have now done at Gaspar de Bono and Damaso Pio De Bono. Fram (talk) 13:09, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Should the comments in your userscripts be updated to mention vector.js since it has been the wikipedia default since 2010 (or at least Special:MyPage/skin.js which will link to whatever skin the user is using)?

Hello Anomie,
I was doing some research on WP:CSD criterion, and noticed that one of the criterion, CSD F8, had a link to Wikipedia talk:Cascade-protected items#About high-risk images explaining what a "High-risk image" is. Since this links to a section on a talk page, this isn't really an official community-approved process, and if the page gets archived, the link will eventually be broken. What I have done is the following:
I'm informing you of this as you were one of the participants in Wikipedia talk:Cascade-protected items#About high-risk images. As I'm not a complete expert in the field of high-risk images, any assistance you may be able to provide in hopefully writing Wikipedia:High-risk images into a policy that can be accepted by consensus would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Steel1943 (talk) 17:51, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
I added massmessage-sender and some global rights, seems to work fine, and I assume you're okay with this modification. Side note... I just discovered User:Anomie/ajaxpreview.js. Holy cow! I also love your link classifier and user identifier, but this ajax preview in particular needs to be installed as a gadget. Not being able to see the refs when previewing is a common frustration. The heck with the gadget, merge this into core! Shall I make a proposal at WP:GP? Thanks — MusikAnimal talk 22:21, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

When I add the following code to the end of mw.lua (right above "return mw"):
countInGlobal = (countInGlobal or 0) + 1
string.countInString = (string.countInString or 0) + 1
math.countInMath = (math.countInMath or 0) + 1
and I check the values of those variables, countInGlobal is 1, which makes sense, but string.countInString and math.countInMath are both 2, which doesn't. Do you know why this is? The only way I can see that happening is if all of mw.lua runs twice, but I'm not sure why this would happen, or why string and math would be preserved but globals wouldn't be.

I would really appreciate some help on this issue of mine as it's really bugging me.

I've just changed my username again but still my issue pertains. My old usernames "Nick B 1993" and "Nick B 1994" still auto-suggest but my previous username "Lofty Londoner Nick B." and my current username never do. I'm told you are somebody who can quite possibly solve this issue for me once and for all. I apologise in advance if this inconveniences you.
Surely something can be done to sort out this evident technical issue at hand.

Brad: thanks for fixing the dates on the 745th page. Adam Daley (a military history coordinator, no less!) came in and manually changed most (but by no means all) dates from d M Y to M d, Y. Sloppy AND inconsistent. Glad your bot could change it back to the way it was, and probably with far less effort than manually changing it back would have been--short of reverting to the earlier version. Thanks, Again.

Hi Anomie. Could you stop AnomieBOT from adding the "metadata" class to TfD pages when it creates the daily log? This has been creating problems on mobile view, and also with T13bot, which has been removing the class from old log pages.

Noticed the script stopped working recently. I don't know the actual root of the problem, but a simple patch was to set the default for txt

Hi Anomie,
I'm just reading and playing around with OAuth and found your OAuth Hello World script, which seems very helpful to me. However, after having authorized the script and trying to do a post through the script (second link) I get an internal server error. The same problem occurs with the "enduser" version.

Hi! Back again, this time with a recommendation. I'm not sure where to put it in the code, but after the preview is loaded, you could run mw.hook( 'wikipage.content' ).fire($("#wikiPreview"))
to re-initialize other relevant scripts that interact with page content – namely pop-ups. This way you can still get the hover previews on all the links. Best and thanks again for the awesome script! :) — MusikAnimal talk 03:22, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
