Talk page section headings using local time

Hi, it appears that when creating a new section for a user warning, the tool uses local time, possibly leading to inconsistencies (and seemingly not seeing earlier warnings), like at User talk:2600:1700:1150:5BB0:B99B:E02E:3690:CC90. Using UTC for detecting warnings and creating section headers should solve the issue – this file just needs to use date.getUTCMonth() and date.getUTCFullYear() instead of the local time equivalents.

Talkpages

Hello! I haven't tried to use Redwarn myself, so I don't know how it looks from a user perspective, but I have a comment.

@98Tigerius reverted me here [1], apparently using redwarn. However, this was at a talkpage. On talkpages, non-RS sources are sometimes used and discussed in a way they can't be in articles. I don't know what 98Tigerius was "told" by redwarn, but should/could the talkpage aspect of it have been made clearer somehow? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:10, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

That looks like user error. Redwarn, and UV (at least to my knowledge), simply show you a series of buttons above the "latest revision" when comparing diffs. The user in question can, and should, see that the edits were to Talk:BTS rather than BTS. Schrödinger's jellyfish ✉ 18:44, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Make softer worded copyvio notice the default?

This is an issue that I have came across often and if anyone requests diffs for them I can provide a few. Basically, the issue is that for both RW and UV, when I press "quick rollback copyright violation" and proceed to warn the user, the default template selected is {{Uw-copyright}}.

I feel like this is an issue as far too many users have been using this template for users who barely made any edits, which could be biting newcomers. I think {{Uw-copyright-new}} should be the default template instead. I'm not sure if this change could be made with RW, but with UV I believe there is some kind of .json page (I lost track of which) that easily allows you to change this. I was going to try find that page and boldly change this, but I then thought I would rather get some discussion first. Any opinions on this? User3749 (talk) 15:20, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I found that .json page I was talking about, Wikipedia:Ultraviolet/configuration.json. However since this is a significant change I won't implement this until there is discussion and consensus for this change. User3749 (talk) 15:26, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
As a copyright-focused editor, sounds good to me! We know when to use the stricter warning anyways (and repeat offenders should be sent to WP:ANI/WP:CCI anyways); using the less strict warning as a default for vandalism-focused editors sounds just fine.

There's also an issue with that page where the warning for {{Uw-editsummary}} says "not using edit comment" which doesn't make sense. I changed that one word but it somehow ended up removing a lot of text so I just self reverted. User3749 (talk) 15:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
That's normal; the JSON file hasn't been updated since JSON began being indented using tabs. I've null edited (not really) the file to have it reformatted. Further changes.
