Hi. The Prayut Chan-o-cha page was semi-protected for one year from 16 August and had the Pp-blp template added, but this was (presumably inadvertently) removed by an editor the following day. Since then, the bot still hasn't restored the template. Is this expected behaviour? --Paul_012 (talk) 05:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241023050100","author":"Paul 012","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Paul_012-20241023050100-MusikBot_II_FixPP_task","replies":["c-MusikAnimal-20241023182000-Paul_012-20241023050100"],"displayName":"Paul_012"}}-->
No. My guess is there was some hiccup, either with Toolforge (which seems to be happening a lot lately) or the bot itself, and it simply missed this one. The bot combs the protection log to keep track of where it left off, so if for whatever reason things failed after the cached log ID was written, it will never revisit older log entries. I hope this issue isn't widespread! For now, I've just manually re-added the template. — MusikAnimaltalk18:20, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241023182000","author":"MusikAnimal","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-MusikAnimal-20241023182000-Paul_012-20241023050100","replies":["c-Paul_012-20241029234600-MusikAnimal-20241023182000"]}}-->
Sorry, forgot to watch this page. If the bot goes through the protection log only once in near-real time, I think it was functioning normally then. The protecting admin had already added the template; it was removed some 16 hours after the page was protected. But thanks for explaining, I wasn't aware of how the bot worked. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:46, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241029234600","author":"Paul 012","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Paul_012-20241029234600-MusikAnimal-20241023182000","replies":[],"displayName":"Paul_012"}}-->

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia.
View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia. [1]
Updates for technical contributors
Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2]
Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]
