:::Got it, glad I sent in the feature request. Mediawiki does have something to show the size of a page, which you can use like this: |
|||
<pre><nowiki>{{#ifeq: {{#expr: {{PAGESIZE:Wikipedia:Requests for permission/Rollback}} < 180 }} | 1 | ''No current rollback requests'' |
|||
| {{Wikipedia:Requests for permission/Rollback}} }}</nowiki></pre> |
|||
:::So, if the page is so short it can only possibly contain the header, the statement is true, returns a 1, and spits out "''No current rollback requests''" or whatever else you want it to show. Yay!

Thank you for coming by, however please note that I have largely retired from Wikipedia. Messages left here will not receive a prompt response, if ever. Please also note that I no longer hold any access rights; if you are contacting me in relation to a block, deletion, or any other administrative action I have taken, I am unable to assist you. Please contact another administrator for help. If you do have an urgent need to contact me specifically, such as for one of my bots, please send me an email via Special:Emailuser/Hersfold. |

Request
I posted two related incidents on the administrators' noticeboard and no one has replied. Please take a look here. Administrators should not allow this kind of edits to happen. 63.216.113.124 (talk) 04:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- You probably would have been better off contacting someone else - as the banner at top clearly states, I'm not around very often. We also get a lot of reports at the Incidents board, as you probably noticed, and occasionally one gets overlooked. He has been spoken to by administrators about his recent edits - see User talk:Hiram111. If the situation continues, feel free to contact another, more active administrator, or post another report on ANI. Sorry for the delays you've been having.

WP:HAU, Status, and you!
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. What about "busy" instead of IRC? Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 00:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'll work on modifying it to allow that option in just a moment. Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion, question
It seems I have found the trail of breadcrumbs back to the original creator of the adoption lessons (great work btw). Anyhow I've been going through the Advanced Templates just to see if there's anything I didn't know. One suggestion would be to note that you can use p|pe characters to allow different parameters to call the same result for #switch.
Ok now on to the question. I'm trying to work out a way to transclude WP:RFPERM but supress it when there's no open requests. I've tried creating a local version of what the empty page looks like and then using an ifeq statement to compare the two, but that didn't work out me. Any bright ideas?
Hope you're enjoying your vacation! –xeno (talk) 14:24, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- I do have that in the lesson already, actually - the second and third code snippets both show how that works. Thanks, though, it's always interesting to see how far these lessons are spreading. :-)
- As for your question, it looks like the forms there are separated into three subpages, which makes things easier. I'll take a look at it in just a moment, I'm having some issues with a transwiki project at the moment.
- Otherwise, vacation's going well, thanks. Should be back on regular editing in a couple weeks. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I'm not having any luck suppressing it. Using #ifeq: as you tried should work, I'm not sure why it isn't (see my test). The good news is, you don't have to transclude WP:RFPERM itself, just its three subpages, Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Acc, Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback, and Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rem. Those aren't too obtrusive when added, and it'll help people add new requests if they come across your userpage or whatever. I just looked, and I don't see any parsers to help with this, although you did give me a great idea for a feature request. Sorry I can't be of more help there. Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Got it, glad I sent in the feature request. Mediawiki does have something to show the size of a page, which you can use like this:
{{#ifeq: {{#expr: {{PAGESIZE:Wikipedia:Requests for permission/Rollback}} < 180 }} | 1 | ''No current rollback requests'' | {{Wikipedia:Requests for permission/Rollback}} }}
I'm looking to import this into Simple EN Wikipedia; could you give me a list of everything I need to import? Microchip 08 17:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Better yet, I'll just transfer it all for you and save you the work. Hurrah for global accounts. I'll let you know when it's up, and where. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, it's there, um, sort of. I'm having some difficulty with the update scripts, probably because Simple is missing something we take for granted here, although it could very well be I didn't transwiki something we need that I've forgotten or didn't know about. I've asked the script developer to take a look at it, but he's also on vacation.
- The bright side is, the template is there, and does work, however, you'll have to manually update your status. Click on any of the update links and type in "online", "recently online", or "offline" to the edit box that appears, and save the page. As long as you type it in exactly as I have shown here, with no quotes, it should work normally. I'll let you know as soon as I can once things start working correctly. Sorry for the inconvienince in the meantime. Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, link is thus: simple:User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate. Documentation and usage is essentially the same as it is here, I'll simplify things down when I get the chance. Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
