SPI Helper script update
Following this discussion of SPI archives that were exceeding the template include size, I've written a solution to the problem into the SPI helper script. It would preemptively move an archive page before an archiving edit, if the edit would cause the page to become to big. The script is at User:Sir Sputnik/spihelper update.js. Please have a look and consider rolling it out to everyone else. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:02, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
1) Why is the limit 14598? That seems low. 2) Does a move that fails in mediawiki come back as an HTTP error or just in the API (see how edit errors are handled)? 3) Do the SPI archive header templates detect and show these moved archive pages? T. Canens (talk) 14:26, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
1) This was a copy/paste error. I artificially reduced the limit for testing and apparently neglected change it back to evaluating the proportion of the limit used. Thanks for catching that. 2) The API doesn't offer much feedback to move requests. In the success case, it just echos the request back at you. I'm trusting that it will respond with an appropriate status code (see line 719) if the move fails. 3) Yes. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:28, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
For 2) - can you test this a bit? It should be pretty straightforward to get it to fail (bogus token, illegal target name, etc.). T. Canens (talk) 02:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
AnRfC on the administrator resysop criteria was closed. 18 proposals have been summarised with a variety of supported and opposed statements. The inactivity grace period within which a new request for adminship is not required has been reduced from three years to two. Additionally, Bureaucrats are permitted to use their discretion when returning administrator rights.
This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.
No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well TC. MarnetteD|Talk20:55, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
