Misplaced Pages:Database reports/Timed Text without a corresponding File
I saw you fulfill my CSD G8-requests regarding these. I've filed a Twinkle ticket so these are deleted automatically from now on, but if you want to, you can go through the list. NotAGenious (talk) 17:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Sorted, thanks. Primefac (talk) 17:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Probation
Can I review article at WP:AFC being in "Probation", where you just added me? Taabii (talk) 16:12, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Yes, you can. Being on probation only means that during the probation timeframe, you can be removed from the list of reviewers without discussion or warnings. NotAGenious (talk) 12:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Template issues
I don't think you intended this outcome (bot edit) with SNE.
And your change to Template:Redirect category shell yesterday has a few articles and a few templates complaining (just those with "Redirect category shell" or "Rcat shell" mentioned, a few others that show in the searches are unrelated). Given how widely used the template is, I suspect these are just a "quirk, fix at end page" type of issue rather than something in the main template, but that's just based on quantity. I can't identify the specific issue and hope that you know what the issue is. Zinnober9 (talk) 06:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- The first was a quirk of AWB subst'ing a template, thought I caught all of them but clearly not (thanks).
- I am not seeing any lint errors related to rcat shell on that page, nor when I search for the template. Where should I be looking to find them? Primefac (talk) 07:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oops, broke the links in thinking I could wikilink them by removing the part before "Special:". articles here and templates here is where I'm seeing these issues. And in case these links post funny, they are in Stripped tags, article and template space. This is one such page. Zinnober9 (talk) 13:57, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- I am headed out the door, but when I'm back in a few hours I'll give it my full attention. Primefac (talk) 14:30, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- So I think this has to do with the
|h=
parameter in the rcat shell. Nothing I did really changed anything: it went from a switch that called four different templates to a switch that called a single template (which, incidentally, called the same four templates which had simply been moved to subpages). If there are errors it's probably because|h=
is using :: whereas the other rcats (including {{r protected}}) use **. I'm not really sure why my edit triggered the lint errors if that's the case, though. Primefac (talk) 21:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)- I'm not sure why your edit triggered the lints either, but I think the problem is that the
<div class="rcat rcat-R_semi-protected">
is on the "::" line, while the closing</div>
is on an empty line. This is easy to see on Special:ExpandTemplates, using{{redirect category shell| |h=Test }}
and setting the context title to that of a protected page. The opening div is at the end of the second line. I'm not sure what the correct place is to add the newline, whether it should be conditional on something, etc., but I hope this helps. --rchard2scout (talk) 12:07, 7 January 2025 (UTC)- Oh! Interesting. I'll play around in rcat's sandbox and see if I can get a fix going. Primefac (talk) 13:37, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Uh... that was easy. Primefac (talk) 13:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, that worked! --rchard2scout (talk) 15:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you both! Yup, that cleared everything related to this issue in Mainspace, and cleared most of the templates. I'm not sure if the remaining 6 templates claiming this issue are being lazy and haven't picked up the change yet (despite purging) and just need a bit of time, or if they need an additional tweak, but it doesn't seem to be affecting functionality, so I'm not too concerned and tempted to wait and see.
- It never fails to surprise me how some things can't stand other things being on the same line, and others can't stand being apart. Zinnober9 (talk) 16:02, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
