Hello! I recently installed your attribution script (along with CFA's script) after reading this discussion at NPP. Although I let my patroller rights expire because I have a pretty cruddy AfD rate and admittedly subpar application of notability on Wikipedia, I find your script useful for practicing patrolling procedures if I ever decide to apply for the right again.
Today's featured article, Apocalypse of Peter, displays a big red "This article is likely an unattributed translation" box warning at the top of the page, and I do not have the experience to understand why. As you developed the script, is it possible for you to figure out why this page is detected as such by the tool? If it's simply a false positive, then feel free to ignore this. Cheers.

@LR.127 Hi there. Thank you for installing the userscript and finding it useful. Huh? you let your patroller rights expire without re-requesting for permanence? I hope there were no issues and will love to see you back at NPP, please!
The script fetches edit summaries of articles and look for certain keywords that might indicate a possible interwiki translation, I just did a manual search on Apocalypse of Peter's history and found that there are edit summaries that have the keywords even though they were unrelated to an interwiki translation. So, yep, it is indeed a false positive. Happy editing! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
OK. I see the issue is that I'm looking at local time zone adjusted times rather than UTC, and there's an error there in the time zone. Thanks for the clarification. I was concerned that the script identifying these was making an error, but I guess not. — rsjaffe🗣️18:23, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rsjaffe I bet it can be confusing sometimes, lol. I only recently started coping with the whole Wikipedia/Local time too. Thanks for clearing the G13 queue up and happy admining. Liz should prepare you a Christmas sandwich when she's back! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:26, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
