It would help to know what version of MediaWiki you're talking about. The same exact issue you're mentioning was fixed a few weeks ago with rEABF2e13d58c748974b37e95109de031acb8f4c78180. I'm also correctly seeing page creations on itwiki.

Oh, got it! Sorry about that!!

Couldn't we just use qdw (query data wiki) like how Translatewiki.net uses qqq? It seems like the pretty obvious solution to this to me.. It'll also provide an end-run around T140131.

I made this task on a whim without any expectation that people would actually review it. I can't believe there's a chance it might get implemented! [0_0]

Making Special:Preferences take a string for pronoun is pretty easy; no DB schema changes would be needed

How we should then support them in {{GENDER: then seems potentially harder...

Also, what about the templates? Should I just import all those which don't exist on scowiki and you will figure out the rest?

A user on enwiki was blocked over this issue a while back. I'm declining this task since there doesn't seem to be consensus that custom timestamps are valid signature options.

• If wikt:sco: could target to w:sco:define: that'd be nice.

It is possible using way similar to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/393289/, but you should decide whether:

• All wikt:sco: pages redirects to same sco: page (e.g. https://sco.wiktionary.org/wiki/test -> https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Define:Main Page) - "funnel"
• All wikt:sco: pages redirects to correspending sco: page (e.g. https://sco.wiktionary.org/wiki/test -> https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Define:test) - "rewrite"

Should we also set $wgCapitalLinkOverrides? Note it is not currently set in any wikis with a "word" namespace (currently alswiki, barwiki, pflwiki). cf T173668

I came across this enwiki citation, and I wanted to share. I guess it happens there, too.

Should just be added to Sagittarius+/Capricorn regex

I have to say, I only filed this because I have never used Capricorn. For the most part, I've always had a custom implementation of Sagittarius + that later became Archer. I don't know if that could be fixed or not, though?

@Paladox Do you want me to commit the change or do you want to take care of this yourself?

Please bring back green buttons. Thanks, T110555.

There is a number of tools, gadgets, user script, and whatnot that work with references. If any of these contains a selector that requires the element name span, this tool is going to break without notice.

Ah, well then I'll just remove myself then. :/

@Dcljr Oh, well then would this be a patch-welcome then?

@Alex_brollo I am independently able to confirm that Author: pages are indeed considered namespace 0. See File:Capture-Author.png.

@Xover I'm not a coder, but I'm willing to spend some time looking at things. I'll see if I can at least isolate the problem for why this bug occurred, then that should expedite the solution hopefully. We'll see what happens.

There are genuine logistical reasons why this may have been implemented. While three tildes counts as a signature for the purposes of notifications, a lot of bots, at least on enwiki, require the standard (UTC) timestamp to function right. Besides that, I'm pretty sure it would interfere with T207567 which uses regex to parse the date and decide when to load.
I could be wrong, though.

The discussion to move can reasonably interpreted as consensus. I'm therefore removing that tag.

@Aklapper Would this be a good first task?

Using the latest version of AWB fixed this issue. I'm going to close this as resolved.
