Proc added a comment to T36928: Create a user right that allows ignoring the spam blacklist.

If the technical implementation in the patch works then I think it should be merged. It's up to local communities (and external projects) to grant this right or not. There's not a particularly good reason for why it shouldn't be technically possible for them to decide though.

Proc added a comment to T240889: Mobile IP editors not given any indication that they have new messages.

Hi @AlexisJazz -- no, I'm not suggesting any sort of vote or judgment around IP editing. That's a much bigger and more complicated question than I think we're talking about here.

Personally I'd support it. I'm now dealing with an IP editor who changes IP every day. So if I leave them a message, they won't see it because their IP often changes between me leaving the message and them visiting Wikipedia. I need to tell them about using reliable sources, but can't. Also I could stop worrying about accidentally leaking my own IP. (it HAS happened)

So now we have sysops blocking community consensus in the name of the WMF (and they still are, ptwiki created ugly workarounds to make IP-editing more difficult to override the sysops) while the WMF says "Deciding the amount of resourcing we provide for the IP editing experience is always a challenge". Finding resources for it is a challenge but if a community wants to get rid of it they get told it's "not gonna happen". You either find the resources (in which case I suggest using the salary of two executive management members) or you respect the wishes of communities who want to disable IP-editing. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Totally agree with SilkTork, bureaucrats should have access to Special:VerifyOATHForUser. While still unpopular, I believe temporarily de-crating a user until they enroll in 2FA is a better solution than removing one of their main scope/job quoting that crats don't need to have 2FA enabled. Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe that this was done when IA & CNA were introduced back in 2018.

Seems that letting crats have access to that special page is more dangerous as I thought it would be

It would've been better to post a consultation on meta and advertise it via mass messaging to the local communities and let it run for a few weeks. That way you get the ability to 'discuss' and evade the criticism of possible fiat by the WMF. The world would not end if crats get to flag IAs for another few weeks. At least from a PR standpoint (no pun intended) it'd have been a good idea to discuss it first...

Proc added a comment to T282597: Headless browser.

The use case is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/ProcBot_8. No API endpoints exist for editing abusefilters. So I decided to mimic the HTTP requests, but that approach can turn up a few caveats and is slightly less maintainable. I cooked up a web scraping approach using Selenium as well and that might work better. But to run it'll need a browser with headless and modern JS support (both Chrome and Firefox work, so I mentioned those two; either will work).

Proc added a comment to T75299: Indicators (protected icon, featured icon) are not shown in Minerva.

Some indicators have more value than others. The protected indicators are semi-valuable (but less-so on mobile, I suppose - either you can edit it or you can't, and that's indicated by the lock on the pencil icon). The move indicators are totally useless. The featured content indicators are useful, imo. Generally, there's a higher degree of quality to GAs/FAs (yes yes, I know, the disclaimers and all, but it's generally true as a rule). Good articles are pretty much a basic peer review, and quite different to featured articles which go a lot deeper. For example, on enwiki GAs require the coverage in the article to be broad, and FAs comprehensive. How many readers actually know this I don't know, but once you know this I think it helps to know that when reading the article.

@matmarex @ppelberg the patch I released was somewhat tangential to what I intended this issue to be (it's an improvement, but not a 'fix' in my eyes). I'd still like to focus on hiding these details (at least the semi-protection ones) in that message entirely, if it's something I can swing by whoever needs to sign off on this. It's really irritating for me to see that regular long log dump on every other page, most of which I just can't see a use for. On pages without an actual notice, it pops up anyway (when in its absence nothing would pop-up) and slightly throws one off. Just doesn't feel like it belongs.

There are cases when bot reverts should be notified. The most obvious one to me is ClueBot, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/ClueBot_NG. Edits are marked as minor, not sure if they're marked with bot too. Second, sometimes bots edit articles and the contributors don't want that bot edit. Many bots will edit again if the bot is reverted (they're not that smart), so notifying editors that a bot manually reverted them would seem a good idea. Such bots (at least on the English Wikipedia) will be flagged as bots, and typically mark their edits with bot: true as well, so using the fact of whether or not the particular edit by a flagged bot was also marked as a bot edit won't work.

Proc added a comment to T75299: Indicators (protected icon, featured icon) are not shown in Minerva.

@Tacsipacsi to be completely frank, and just my opinion, but wikis don't exactly have the best idea of "what's important" from a UI perspective. Move protection indicators, for example, are utterly useless. Even 99% of editors don't wish to move the page, never mind readers. They're in place to stop the odd users moving articles, yet an icon is shown to everyone. On a smaller scale, especially for mobile, this applies for page protection too -- most people just read not write on mobile, and showing colourful locks is not particularly helpful, especially on a mobile view where they'd stand out a lot more. When you start looking at talk notices and editnotices the point becomes more obvious imo. One 'unintended' advantage of the software limitations of the mobile style is that it saves the mobile UI from becoming a cluttered mess. Quality assessment indicators are neat, and give a useful indication for readers also, though.

Proc added a comment to T255506: Identify how abuse log details were purged from the CU logs.

Shouldn't those hypotheticals also be hardcoded in? My reasoning is that the point of configuration is for users to change how the software behaves. This is making adding a configuration variable a requirement for functionality to work as intended. There's no developer intention, or valid purpose, for this data to be purged from CU logs. So we're kinda just adding an extra hoop, and most non-Wikipedia users who run into this probably shouldn't have to jump into some obscure part of the doc to realise that they have to add a compulsory param. We can keep the config param too, I suppose, for future additions, I just think this particular param should also be hardcoded in.

Proc added a comment to T255506: Identify how abuse log details were purged from the CU logs.

I believe this added param still needs to be documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CheckUser. I wonder if a note should be added to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter as well, since it appears to be the sole (?) culprit requiring this.

@Majavah thanks for the heads up. I was under the impression that it had to be +1'd first (aware the +2 is during deploy), but if that isn't required I'll go again and schedule.

(Just realised I'm too late): In support of the tags idea which would also cleanly allow for multiple watchlists (T3492) with the method described in T182297. Tags would be quite a powerful concept, and expiry times could've been an 'action' based on tags.

Proc added a comment to T256886: Users without supression right should be able to revdel aspects of an edit that are not suppressed.

Having taken a quick look at this, seems to be due to the $item->canView() checks failing (eg at SpecialRevisionDelete::showForm, line 420). That function is in RevDelRevisionItem, line 81:

Proc added a comment to T256758: Prevent Safari from creating phone links for numbers in format ###-####.

This fix really should be on the browser side, phone numbers are normally written with a hyphen ("-", 0x2D) while in articles such as the example above with date ranges we normally use the en-dash ("–", 0x2013). Apple probably shouldn't be doing phone number translations on en dashes.

Proc added a comment to T256758: Prevent Safari from creating phone links for numbers in format ###-####.

@Jdforrester-WMF @Aklapper if the functionality is indeed undesirable I'm not sure if it matters whether Apple fix this on their end (which, ultimately, I'd think any 'fix' would require removal of the feature, since it's hard to determine whether 900-1200 is a phone number or a year) or if MediaWiki does just for its software using the meta tag. (I believe this tag is only recognised by Safari for these purposes, but I could be wrong). Of course, links can still be formatted as tel if they're explicitly formatted as such, and via the use of a template it'd be neater than the a tag everywhere.

A very cheap way to do it, which I think is kinda like the last option @Tgr suggested, is to chuck in

$user = User::newFromName("ObscureUsernameCheckUserLog");
if ( $user->getId() !== 0 ) {
	$context->setUser($user);

This is also broken. rev_timestamp is a blob, not an integer, so this query also fails to return results. Tested in SQL console with and without encapsulating it in quotations, and the former returned results, the latter (as in code) did not, so I believe that is also related to this.
