Enterprisey's parsoid-round-trip uses Parsoid to convert wikitext to HTML and back, and then shows the result and the difference between the original wikitext and the post-conversion wikitext. Frietjes's infoboxgap assists in renumbering infobox labels/data/classes, so that a new line can be inserted in the middle of the infobox.

Pending requests A request for a script to help with maintaining the lists of vital articles A request for a script to make it easier to archive specific list entries, rather than whole discussion sections ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Twinkle has made a number of improvements, including using a change tag to identify actions made with it and automatically filing edit requests for protected XfD nominations.

GhostInTheMachine's TalkHelper2 is a newer version of their prior script, TalkHelper

GeneralNotability's spihelper updated to 2.2.10, fixing a number of small bugs, automatically tagging globally locked socks as such in the sockpuppet template, and restoring open cases following an SPI history merge.

Open tasks

• Enterprisey is looking for beta testers for their new section-watchlist user script. See the announcement.

Miscellaneous

• The second edition of the m:Coolest Tool Award will be taking place in December.
• Enterprisey's links-in-logs script has now been implemented as part of MediaWiki core, see gerrit:640761 and phab:T207562.

My apologies for the delayed issue. As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, help is appreciated. Stay safe, --DannyS712 (talk) 18:20, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 19

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (December 2020).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 19th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Scripts Submit your new/improved script here Enterprisey's script-installer, a gadget that makes it easier to install scripts, is this month's featured script Enterprisey's copy-section-link adds popups to section headers which has an appropriate wikilink and external link to the section. DannyS712's FindBlacklistEntry can be used to figure out which line(s) in either the local or global spamblacklist prevent a particular url from being added. Nardog's CodeEditorAssist allows customizing the code editor, including changing the color theme and enabling live autocompletion. Cobaltcigs's IllWill allows searches wikidata.org for foreign-language sitelinks, to populate {{ill}} and replace plain red links. Twinkle has made a number of improvements, most notably full support for expiring watchlist items. Evad37's Signpost Publishing Script is now at version 2.4.2, with changes including a fix for calculating the size of pages with files. Evad37's MoveToDraft is now at version 2.5.1, with changes including: checks for move conflicts and better options if move fails the addition of {{Drafts moved from mainspace}} after moves updating the default move log and notification texts to be more in line with WP:DRAFTIFY Enterprisey's cv-revdel now handles failures more cleanly, including reporting failures caused by the spam blacklist. Bradv's Notepad.js script has been updated with new styles and a new launch button. A beta version of XFDcloser is available for testing, and brings a new user interface for dialogs and some preferences for customization.

Open tasks

• Voting in the m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021 is ongoing until December 21, 2020. There are 15 proposals in the "bots and gadgets" category that may be of interest.

Pending requests

• A script to help list discussions at WP:ANRFC (request)
• A script to allow undoing edits despite conflicting intermediary edits (request)
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

• The Watchlist Expiry feature worked on by the Community Tech team has been enabled on Wikipedia. For scripts that include watching or unwatching pages, developers may want to update their code to take advantage of the new functionality. See the documentation on mediawiki.org.
• As noted in the prior issue, Enterprisey's links-in-logs script has now been implemented as part of MediaWiki core. By my count, this is his third script that was replaced by implementing the code in MediaWiki core or an extension, along with link-section-edits and abusefilter-hide-search. Additionally, his reply-link script is being converted in part to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools. Are there any other scripts that might be worth integrating directly in MediaWiki? Thoughts would be welcome at Wikipedia talk:Scripts++.

As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy holidays! --DannyS712 (talk) 00:19, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

afc had draw for each round always, not published, neither by any club, so could be drawn on 27th — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.142.140.77 (talk) 22:40, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

If you see 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 AFC Cup draw video, there is no draw for qualifying. Hhkohh (talk) 23:54, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

2021 AFC Champions League

The regulations regarding the group stage is already released officially by AFC: 10 groups of 4, with 8 teams advancing from each region. It is already stated in the regulations, so the information is verifiable and not a speculation. I don't agree that this violates WP:BALL, so the group stage tables can be created. The group stage article I created mostly contains verifiable information, so I will remove all the information I think is not verified and revert your edit. Thanks. Fauzannaufan (talk) 01:37, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Fauzannaufan, yeah, although ACL draw is next week, if we write the group stage article now, the article seems mess now, so I think we should create it on 26 Jan. Hhkohh (talk) 17:19, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 20

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (January 2021).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 20th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Scripts Submit your new/improved script here Ajbura's anrfc-lister assists with listing discussions at WP:ANRFC to request that they receive a formal close Bradv's endlesscontribs provides for endless scrolling of contributions pages Evad37's livenotifications displays notification alerts and messages in a little popup box, (almost) live as they happen Terasail's Edit Request Tool allows users to reply to, close or remove protected edit requests ToBeFree's clear-watchlist allows emptying your watchlist even if the watchlist is too full to be edited or cleared by conventional methods Dentonius's GlobalRecentChanges allows you to monitor recent changes across various wikis. Yahya's SNA (Start New Article) allows you to start a new article or draft from the navigation bar. Nardog: CatChangeLinker bluelinks the "(diff | hist)" part of category additions/removals on your watchlist. CatChangesViewer lists recent category additions/removals on a category page. Consecudiff adds links to diffs of consecutive edits by the same user on watchlist, history, etc. DiffFontSwitcher allows you to toggle between fonts for diff by clicking a line number. MoveHistory lists the past moves a page has gone through. Novem Linguae: UserHighlighterSimple is a fork of Chlod's UserHighlighter with a simplified color scheme. VisualEditorEverywhere displays the Visual Editor edit tab and section links on pages that don't normally have them. User:Evad37/TimestampDiffs – fixed compatibility issues with various scripts/gadgets, including Wikipedia:Comments in Local Time. For discussion archives, now looks for revisions on the base page. User:Enterprisey/undo-last-edit.js - no longer tries to load on special pages. User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap - version 1.4 fixes reading destination from form field if destination is not in article namespace, and fixes self redirects. Wikipedia:XFDcloser - version 4 brings a new user interface for dialogs, some preferences for customising XFDcloser, major behind-the-scenes coding changes, and resolves various issues raised on the talkpage. Also, since version 3.16.6 non-admin soft delete closure have been allowed at TfD.

Open tasks

• As a reminder, the legacy javascript globals (like accessing wgPageName without first assigning it a value or using mw.config.get('wgPageName') instead) are deprecated. If your user scripts make use of the globals, please update them to use mw.config instead. Some global interface editors or local interface administrators may edit your user script to make these changes if you don't. See phab:T72470 for more.

Miscellaneous

• For people interested in creating user scripts or gadgets using TypeScript, a types-mediawiki package (GitHub, NPM) is now available that provides type definitions for the MediaWiki JS interface and the API.
• A GitHub organization has been created for hosting codebases of gadgets. Users who maintain gadgets using GitHub may choose to move their repos to this organization, to ensure continued maintenance by others even if the original maintainer becomes inactive.

Pending requests

• A script to ease reviewing Good Article nominations
• A script to help manage Z number templates
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, including nominating a featured script, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy new year! --DannyS712 (talk) 01:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
• A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
• A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect.
• A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
• There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

Technical news

• When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
• When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
• There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

Arbitration

• By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people. Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.
• The Kurds and Kurdistan case was closed, authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2021 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: AmandaNP, Operator873, Stanglavine, Teles, and Wiki13.

2021 AFC Champions League qualifying play-offs

Your recent editing history at 2021 AFC Champions League qualifying play-offs shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. GiantSnowman 07:25, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

No need to protect it because it's currently just two of you and the next one of you to edit will be blocked... GiantSnowman 13:40, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Myanmar clubs in 2021 AFC Champions League and 2021 AFC Cup

@Fauzannaufan and Qby: AFC have removed all matches involving Myanmar clubs from their webpage fixtures ([1], [2]), so looks like they have withdrawn, for obvious reasons. Chanheigeorge (talk) 18:20, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Chanheigeorge, perhaps due to 2021 Myanmar coup d'état? Hhkohh (talk) 02:35, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes the coup is the most logical explanation for that. Hopefully they will come back for next season, or perhaps this season if the situation in Myanmar improves Fauzannaufan (talk) 10:08, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

@Fauzannaufan and Qby: More updates on 2021 AFC Cup, which will likely be officially announced by AFC soon: In the West Zone, both teams from Oman, Al-Nasr (Group A) [3] and Al-Seeb (Group C) [4] have withdrawn, so the play-off will not be played and both Markaz Shabab Al-Am'ari and Al-Kuwait will be in Group C [5]. In the ASEAN Zone, since both Shan United and Hanthawady United have withdrawn, they will move Persipura Jayapura to Group I to take Shan United's place [6], and the play-offs will be Chanthabouly v Kasuka (Group G) and Visakha v Lalenok United (Group H).

My apologies for this long-overdue issue, and if I missed any scripts.
Hopefully going forward we can go back to monthly releases - any help would be appreciated. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 13:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
