Aggregate data lists
Hi Guarapiranga,
I noticed that you are a heavy contributor to all sorts of lists of data points on Wikipedia. I am interested in such lists as well, but many of them are very difficult to maintain and update. In theory, the ones that come from a single source should be easy to update, but someone needs to write a script to do this. Still, it is hard to believe that every update currently made (e.g. annual update) is made by hand. Are you aware of any existing tools for updating such lists, even if they only deal with a specific list?
Thanks, Ynhockey (Talk) 10:41, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Ynhockey, what I've been trying to do is link the lists via transclusion. Look for instance at the List of South American countries by population and how it's linked to the List of countries by population. Not only were the population figures there static (and therefore outdated), but all calculations were pasted as number. I have since then replaced them with formulas linked to the source column. This doesn't always work, as the wiki engine is not designed for spreadsheets, so it takes some playing around with the syntax for it to work.
- Alternatively, there's a script that queries tables from Wikidata, but I find that's too automated, as much of the work in keeping the data up to date requires pulling it out from external sources not prepared for scraping (and many times in foreign languages). Again, a good example of that is the List of countries by population, which is maintained by vigilant wikipedians. But even there the percentage calculations were made by entering the population numbers twice, one for the pop column and one for the percent column, which is obviouly prone to error, instead of transcluding from one to the other, so I changed that. Guarapiranga (talk) 19:50, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- There is, however, a lot of resistance from editors to working with transcluded data across articles, Ynhockey (see Oldest people, for example). — Guarapiranga ☎ 02:18, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
De-grouchifying
I realized on a re-read that I'd been a bit testy in my wording toward you, on the content alignment threads. Sorry about that. I think it's a seasonal affect thing that's put me in a poor mood. Today is American Thanksgiving, and Christmas is around the corner. Both of them being very family-oriented holidays, they make me unhappy because few of my family members are still living and those that are live half a continent away. At least I'm catching myself at projecting my mood around. Need to compartmentalize better again! — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello Guarapiranga. I noticed your attempt to fix a ping. Unfortunately, that method does not work. The notifications system only informs a user when you link their username in the same saved edit as you successfully sign your post. A ping cannot be fixed in a later edit by adding your signature or fixing a botched username. Instead, reference the user by adding [[User:Example]]

Please use template sandboxes, the testcases page, and the template talk page
Twice in the last few days, you have made multiple edits to live templates that are transcluded in many pages, introducing breaking changes. I recently reverted erroneous edits at {{Flaglist}}, which happened after you broke {{UN population}}. For any but the simplest of edits, please make your edits to the template's sandbox, then use the template's testcases page to ensure that you have not broken anything, then explain your changes on the template's talk page. Feel free to ping me from a template talk page if you would like feedback on your proposed edits to a template sandbox. If there are no objections to your proposed changes, it is then appropriate to copy the sandbox code to the live template. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:14, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

For the revised version of the list of countries by GDP (nominal)
I have observed the new editing you recently do in the current version of the article and I appreciate your efforts. However, it makes me extremely confused about how you made the ranking as it seems there is no scenario by restructing the tabulation which shows some statistical advanced countries being put behind while some others have lower figures are forwarded. May I ask your criteria on how you determined the ranking before the renewal? If you have no appropriate elaboration then I regret I would request to reverse to the old one. 123.195.130.73 (talk) 04:26, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- The ranking is not fixed. Rather, the 1st column has {{static row numbers}}, and you can rank the rows by whichever column you choose.
- The initial order, if I'm not mistaken, is the average of the GDP estimates (nothing to do with how
advanced
the countries are).

Invoking scripts
Hi, regarding WP:Village pump (technical)/Archive 191#Invoking scripts from the url.... (Sorry I didn't get to this until it was archived.) What you may have been thinking of is the following: you can go to a page, then enter something like javascript:importScript('User:UserName/scriptName.js');
in the address bar to invoke the script.
This method works in Chrome and Edge. For Internet Explorer, you'd have to tack functionName();
onto the end. A different method is required for Firefox: you'd have to open the JavaScript Console (Ctrl-Shift-K in Windows) and enter importScript('User:UserName/scriptName.js');

Adding documentation
Hey! I see you've been adding some usage examples to some templates (1 2). Please keep in mind that, when using tbullet, you must use {{BASEPAGENAME}}
, not {{PAGENAME}}
. This is because {{PAGENAME}}
includes the entire title. This means the page attempts to transclude the /doc, and this leads to template recursion (See Category:Pages with template loops). Meanwhile, {{BASEPAGENAME}}
is just the regular template page. Thanks! Aidan9382 (talk) 04:44, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

transclusion labels
Hi Guarapiranga, I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve with this edit to Results of the 2022 Australian federal election (Senate) - labeling a section with tags <section begin= /><section end= />
enables you to transclude the labeled section, BUT using the same heading more than once on a page causes problems - it only works for the first section. It seems like what you want to achieve is to transclude only the main parties. A better way to achieve this is to use <noinclude></noinclude>
tags to prevent transcluding particular rows. The way it's been done for previous elections is to only include parties that won or lost seats. You can also use <includeonly></includeonly>
tags to add an additional row at the end for others - this will only show up on the transclusion. Also {{Excerpt}} is generally easier to use than transcluding. I have edited Results of the 2019 Australian federal election (House of Representatives), Results of the 2019 Australian federal election (Senate) and 2019 Australian federal election to do what I think you're trying to achieve. --Find bruce (talk) 00:56, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

- Just saw your table at Templates for discussion - labeled section tags do work to exclude text from transclusion, but the reason for noinclude tags is more obvious to other editors and avoids any issues with multiple sections with the same name. Find bruce (talk) 01:11, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
