User contribs watchlist
Hey Tobi! Frohe Ostern, if you celebrate it :) Even if you don’t celebrate it (pass it on) :P
I want to ask how [efficiently] would I be able to review users’ contribs? I have some users who I’d like to review and track, for WP purposes natürlich. I don’t think there is a feed similar to RC feed that would be used for a feed of recent contribs of “users” that I watchlisted. Surely I could spin up something with the API and inject into my local mediawiki instance. I certainly don’t want to reinvent the wheel if there’s a better process that you know of!
Happy holidays, or at least the second half of them ;) — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 10:11, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hey DaxServer, thank you very much! A (now belated) Happy Easter to you too!Sunset on Deutschherrnbrücke
I've celebrated it by visiting Alte Brücke (and Frankfurt) for the first time in my life.
- Due to concerns about hounding, proposals to provide a user watchlist as a general feature, such as meta:Community Tech/Add a user watchlist and phab:T2470, have been declined. If you are certain that your use is compliant with the relevant policies, creating your own private API-based tool may be the best solution.
- In my Twinkle preferences, I have configured automatic watchlisting of user talk pages for 1 month, which is usually already sufficient to notice if a user continues making problematic edits. They're then warned by other users, and I can have a look at their contributions again. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Such a lovely pics! I met with some friends for a brunch at Alte Utting on Sunday and went out with them for a lunch and stroll by Schliersee (lake) yesterday. They both were my first timers ;)
- Thanks for pointers to hounding. Makes sense not to enable it. I guess I'll try to do something with the API if I ever get some interest to do so or time. For now, I'm just using this User:BrandonXLF/TodoList script which is very much handy and for a quick todos in the future, which I apparently am ignoring to do... sigh... — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:48, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oh cool!
Schliersee looks beautiful – as I expected when I read "Bavarian Alps". I've never been there, but I dream of paying them a visit.
- The TodoList script looks handy; I currently use Ctrl+D with a custom bookmark description like "TMP" (temporary) to maintain a todo list in my browser. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:26, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oh cool!
Div Class code
Took me a while to get the jist of it but I have now made one of my user subpages viewed from different points of view depending if you are an administrator, extended-confirmed user, autoconfirmed or anonymous. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 11:12, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Iggy the Swan, cool! Two minor nitpicks: The "font" tag doesn't exist in HTML anymore (try
<div style="font-size: 2.5rem">Text here</div>
), and "autoconfirmed-show" already includes "extendedconfirmed-show" and "sysop-show", as the two latter usergroups do not come with a revocation of autoconfirmation. Administrators lack extended confirmation group membership, but they're autoconfirmed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:36, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
