The thing is, though, there is a bottom to these special pages. Well, not the log page, but other special pages have a bottom. Also what loads is predictable almost every time. We are not a social network - we are a wiki, and improving workflow is going to be helpful to readers and editors alike. Nowhere does this infinite scrolling have to be automatic -- a simple button called "load more" could be at the bottom of a special page that loads the next X items and puts it underneath.

I am talking about https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/mw.Api. I have tried the solutions listed on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code#JavaScript but they seem largely unintuitive. On the other hand, the library I linked here is a bit more intuitive because it is well documented and allows for code reuse between the browser JS and Node JS.

@Volker_E good start. Can you add @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) to the gadget-specific portions?

Yep, that disappeared as well for me.

Maybe someone could work on this as a possible future MediaWiki extension, but it does not get rolled out to Wikimedia wikis right away... hmm....

@Aklapper I disagree with this closure. Sure it is technically possible with the abuse filter, but it is impractical to configure 400 or so pages where slow mode is enabled. On smaller wikis, yes, we can use the abuse filter. But on large wikis like Wikipedia, there are dozens of pages that could benefit from slow mode, like articles sanctioned by ArbCom. There is no way to get all those pages into one abuse filter neatly.

Hah, maybe just add this as a feature to confirmedit.

Fine, then maybe just upgrade to slidercaptcha and do nothing else. The text CAPTCHAs are very broken anyway.

Unfortunately, that is a downside. We will still need an audio option. But this may be one step in the right direction, as it is pretty obvious that you need to fill the puzzle piece, which is a lot more accessible than the blurry mess you get from our current CAPTCHAs.

I do not know how I ended up creating two tasks from one click, but that appears to be an error. Can this task be deleted @Aklapper?

Here is a CAPTCHA idea that we could maybe implement on Wikimedia (for visual Captcha).

I am a few months late to this discussion, haha.

Okay... I focused on one specific task at hand right now. Someone probably already asked this before but the task is located at T269210.

@Aklapper thank you for the feedback. :)

@Soda that seemed to fix the issue, but it would be good if the documentation was updated to include that.

My browser info

I found something that can help with having dark mode on Vector/Monobook/Timeless/Minerva: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme

@Aklapper

I used Windows Steps recorder to try show you the issue in more detail.

The main problem is that going through recent changes on large projects like Wikipedia is a nightmare. Because Wikipedia gets thousands of edits every hour, it becomes extremely difficult to patrol recent changes for vandalism, etc.

@Aklapper wikiHow just upgraded to MediaWiki 1.33: https://forums.wikihow.com/discussion/28385/mediawiki-upgrade-coming-today-thu-aug-1-new-code-now-out

How can "edits" ever be stored as a "cookie"?

They can't. A cookie can only hold around 4–10 kB or so.

So they can be stored in the database but they are deleted after 24 hours and invisible to all users. That could work but can still create issues with copyrighted content.

@Aklapper: this is on meta.wikimedia.org. And actually, I just realize that it is a side effect of another of the scripts I wrote, so closing this task as invalid.

This does not seem fixed, as this problem appears on Edge as well, and still does on the Wikipedia article ammonia.

I am unsure about the source code just for RC patrol, but I do know the source code that wikiHow runs off of is located at src.wikihow.com

closing, it may have been a problem with my computer :)

Timeless is a skin that I believe is designed for Desktop. I think it is supposed to make Wikipedia look like other wiki sites (such as wikiHow or Wikia). I could be wrong, so please make any corrections.

And the idea with url shortening is that the article name will be the thing after the url so that it is easy to enter in.

And w.wiki url shortening is disabled. Bummer.

I like domain hacks, and they make lives a lot easier. (Goo.gl/e) or (google.com)? (Group.me) or (GroupMe.com)?

Great job getting started on fixing this!!!

How about NoCAPTCHA?

I notice that the problem is with some sites (like Wikipedia) but not others.

or not

Closing, this issues appears to be fixed.

Also... add ?action=viewsource so that editors can view the source code, whether or not if they have permission to edit. When the user clicks "edit", instead of saying "View source for "$1"" it should say Permission error: You have been blocked from editing or whatever MediaWiki:BlockedText says

Sorry

Actually closing, they show up at Special:BlockList

blocked users see "edit" instead of "view source". And title blacklisted titles also see an "edit" tab instead of "view source". The tabs should say "view source" for the previous two.

Closing this task, please put such requests on Meta, not here.

My contribs (included my deleted ones). What I did was transcluded my user talk page into my user page, where mention notifs were sent. Then I transcluded my user page into a user subpage, where they were sent again. I left an apology on my talk page, but that was disruptive enough to get me blocked indefinitely from editing. I only have access to this diff (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:UpsandDowns1234/main.css&oldid=794971340). I transcluded the css file a while ago before doing this to my chat.

Check on en.wikipedia.org. I have done it there, and I do not want to send mentions to the users here either.

Okay

Also, see [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Iridescent]

I transcluded a userpage with a bunch of links to other's userpages into another userpage. Do this on Test Wikipedia, it got me blocked indefinitely on en.wikipedia

In other words, modify the extension before deploying.
