jpxg added a comment to T334940: All Graphs broken on Wikimedia wikis (due to security issue T336556).

Just to confirm my understanding of the situation: graphs are still broken after a whole year, with no replacement whatsoever, and no plan for implementing one?

jpxg added a comment to T229735: Add gadgets-edit and gadgets-definition-edit access to stewards and interface administrators.

Can local interface admins edit gadget pages now, or is this still a pending item?

jpxg added a comment to T338920: Discussion tool saved answer not accessible on mobile when multiple pages are included.

This has been happening to me on the English Wikipedia. I use Firefox on Android. This started happening a few days ago. I will post here what I posted on the Village Pump.

jpxg added a comment to T353303: Deprecated, non-rendering Unicode character U+17B4 KHMER VOWEL INHERENT AQ allows bizarre mediawiki hax.

Completely talking out of my whatever here, so tell me if this is stupid (it probably is) but is there a way to detect if page titles render with a pixel width of zero? Or, possibly, to iterate over all Unicode points, see which are rendered with a pixel width of zero in [whatever environment], and specify to render those as a period or a tofu box or something (or add them to the default title blacklist)?

jpxg added a comment to T353303: Deprecated, non-rendering Unicode character U+17B4 KHMER VOWEL INHERENT AQ allows bizarre mediawiki hax.

It should be noted that this is one of the two deprecated characters in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_(Unicode_block) (U+17B4 and U+17B5), which on that article renders as tofu, but I guess the characters themselves render as nothing.

Going to post about this here since, although I solved the problem myself, this was what came up when I searched for it, so maybe other people will be here scratching their heads:

jpxg added a comment to T351124: Abusing spam-blacklist to deny anyone from editing a page.

This would seem to, in general, militate against the wisdom of implementing a spam URL blacklist as a magical totem that prevents *anybody* (including EC, including TE, including sysops) from editing the page.

jpxg added a comment to T93049: Same MassMessage is being sent more than once.

This happened with the Signpost today (details here). It seems that a good number of people were given double issues from the global MassMessage list on Meta. This is not user error, as the message was only requested once. For example, two successive edits to the same user talk page both cite the exact same revid (https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_message_delivery/Targets/Signpost&oldid=24726786). I have repaired the duplicates via manual reverts, of which there were approximately 250. Most of these were from the local distribution list, but about a dozen were from the global distribution list; curiously, the doubled messages seem to be a couple hours apart.

I have spelunked through the Signpost omni-index (which I also set up, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Omni-index ) and cleared out (almost) all the bullshit. By my count, there were nearly a thousand pages, ranging from obsolete never-used redirects, to pagemove detritus from publishing errors, to templates that were created and never actually written, to deprecated templates with literally a single transclusion. They are all gone now: I am in the process of documenting what's going on at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Technical

This is now possible: WegweiserBot (running https://github.com/jp-x-g/wegweiser ) has refactored all of the old modules to include author information, and me and Mr. Stradivarius have updated the module to allow for sorting by author. This means that it is now possible to generate byline pages for individual authors:
