Hi UV, thanks for your reaction on my talk page. I don't understand yet why the bot removed a category. Nevertheless, a good reason to run it either semi-automatic or not at all in templatespace. Kind regards, --[[Usor:Maurits|Maurits]] 17:26, 29 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)

I ran the bot with -catr:philosophia -lang:la. Apparently, there are templates in the categories. I now restarted it from nl in alphabetical order, so it now really shouldn't touch any templates anymore. Thanks again. Regards, --[[Usor:Maurits|Maurits]] 16:45, 1 Maii 2009 (UTC)

Emendatio ex 16:45, 1 Maii 2009

Vide etiam disputationes annorum 2006, 2007 et 2008.

Petronius

Your deletion of the former redirect Petronius was maybe a bit hasty. The really famous Petronius, whom (based on very new information) Schulz-Hameln had recently moved to Publius Petronius Niger, suddenly disappeared from sight -- I felt sure we had a good article about him, but I had to go through the deletion log to find out where it was. There were quite a few links to him! I have emended some of them now. Andrew Dalby 12:24, 4 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! I noticed that Petronius redirected to one Petronius, while we had articles about more than one, so I replaced the redirect with a disambiguation but failed to correct the links. Shame on me … --UV 13:31, 4 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, of course, I quite see how it happened.
It strikes me that if there was a way of highlighting circular links (e.g. the link on the page that redirected to Petronius, and therefore became circular when you moved the page) you would probably have noticed the problem and corrected it. Is there a gadget that would do that? I know circular links normally appear bolded, but that doesn't distinguish them from intentionally bolded text. Andrew Dalby 14:07, 4 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
First part of an answer:
  • Circular links that directly point back to the same page normally appear bolded (e. g. page "A" contains a link to "A"). If you wish to change that formatting, you can add e. g.
    strong.selflink { background-color:red; }
    /* exclude user talk pages, because many signatures contain a link to the user's talk page */
    body.ns-3 strong.selflink { background-color:transparent; }
    
    to your Special:Mypage/monobook.css (assuming that you are using the default monobook skin, otherwise replace "monobook" by the name of the skin that you are using). This is, however, not true for circular links that point back indirectly, via a redirect (e. g. page "A" contains a link to "B", where "B" is a redirect to "A"): These links do not normally appear bolded and cannot be styled with the above CSS code.
  • If you wish to highlight all redirects (including redirects back to the original page), that is easy as well:
    a.mw-redirect { background-color:lime; }
    
Of course this functionality could be packed into a gadget, but that is also quite easy to add to a user's Special:Mypage/monobook.css file.
Still thinking about how one could highlight circular links that point back indirectly, via a redirect … --UV 15:37, 4 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Second and final part: I have expanded the gadget to highlight circular links that point back indirectly, via a redirect. You may need to force-refresh a page and/or clear your browser cache before you see the effect. You will notice this for instance on the Vicipaedia:Taberna in the "Compendium" box in the top right. If you dislike the red colour, this can be customized e. g. as follows:
.redirtoself-link-inner { background-color:silver; }
.redirtoself-link-sup   { background-color:silver; }
This change to the gadget only affects indirect self-links (via a redirect), not the direct self-link case described above, so if you would like these cases to be highlighted as well, then you need to keep
strong.selflink { background-color:red; }
/* exclude user talk pages, because many signatures contain a link to the user's talk page */
body.ns-3 strong.selflink { background-color:transparent; }
in your monobook.css. Hope you like it! --UV 20:36, 4 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! Thank you, UV! Andrew Dalby 21:31, 4 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bots

I assume I just have to revoke bot status here, and they will still work globally, right? That's what I've done. Let me know if there are any more. Adam Episcopus 02:27, 19 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Works great, thank you!
When I have some time, I plan to check the remaining bots – I suppose there are some long-inactive bots among them, possibly it would be a good idea to remove their bot status as well, to be on the safe side. --UV 23:52, 19 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, sorry, I missed the ones on the 23rd. I've de-flagged those and added Multichill and LucienBOT. Adam Episcopus 02:11, 11 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, thanks a lot! --UV 09:04, 11 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Year categories

Could you glance at Vicipaedia:Taberna#Categories for dates and authors of botanical/zoological descriptions -- in my last comment, in a new sub-section, I raise the question of year categories and I wonder if you have some thoughts on this. Andrew Dalby 12:53, 31 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replied there. --UV 18:37, 31 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

De imaginibus quaero

Salve. Usor recentissimus sum, et nondum valde peritus. Creavi antea paginam de videoludo "Blood Omen 2", et volebam imagines a ludo captas addere ad melius explicandum ludum ipsum. Sed nescio si id fieri potest an ius de Eidos Interactive qui videoludum fecit me vetat. Xaverius mihi dixit te quaerere de imaginibus. Et generaliter, quae vincula normaeque sunt ad imagines immittendas?

Praeterea, mihi grata sunt imaginariae litterae, qua de causa volebam aliquid addere paginae "mithistoria somnialis" in categoria "litterae", qua nondum scripta est. Sed stat hic titulus pro quo in Anglice "fantasy" dictum est? Si ita, eam scribere possum, quia gratissimum mihi est illud genus litterarum. Spero te mihi responsum dare brevi tempore. Vale! Poecus 18:59, 22 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Salve, Poece! Non licet imagines a ludo captas addere, quia hae imagines iure auctoris (©) protectae sunt. Vide (Italice)
Generaliter, vicipaedia est libera encyclopaedia, ergo non licet imagines adhibere quae non sunt liberae, sicut imagines iure auctoris (©) protectae et non ab auctore sub permissionem liberam divulgatae. Vide etiam definitionem operum culturalium liberorum (Italice).

I just noticed

... this: {{Ling|Lingua Anglica{{!}}Anglice}}. Does doing it this way reduce demand on the servers? or is there another reason I can't guess? Andrew Dalby 21:30, 22 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No real reason at all, I just try to avoid linking to a redirect page when I in fact "mean" the redirected-to page. But, as I said, there is no compelling reason at all against just using {{Ling|Anglice}}. Greetings, --UV 21:36, 22 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted you!

... at Abecedarium Graecum‎. I think you will see why. The images are used in a table; the other columns in the table provide all the description that's needed. Hope that's OK. Andrew Dalby 16:24, 28 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the page once again – is that ok? Image descriptions help visually impaired people to find out what an image is about and whether it is worth further examination. Greetings, --UV 16:35, 28 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see! I never thought of that. Sorry. Andrew Dalby 16:49, 28 Februarii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Londini ~ Londinii

UV, in Mantra, mutasti Londini ad Londinii. While the latter form looks more regular, Bradley's Arnold #213 specifically says the locative is the former: "Londini*, at London." (We shouldn't be surprised, though, if both forms are attested in Latin published in London.) *You'll have to imagine this "i" to be long, as you've taken away my ability to add macrons! IacobusAmor 22:27, 1 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing this out! I was not aware of this special locative form.
shame on me, should have remembered Vicipaedia:Taberna/Tabularium 9#Londinii aut Londini? --UV 22:20, 2 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry for the problems with the edittools box – as I wrote in the taberna a short while ago, have you tried the following for getting the edittools box back?
Please open any editing page (e. g. open this section of my user talk page for editing) and try the following:
  1. press Ctrl+F5 or
  2. hold down Ctrl and click on Reload or
  3. hold down Shift and click on Reload or
  4. clear your browser cache.
Greetings, --UV 22:34, 1 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The second instruction worked, but now the contents of the character sets have changed. The paragraph sign, for example, has moved to another character set, and the exotic letters are now in a new order within their set (and I think there are fewer of them), and so on. IacobusAmor 23:53, 1 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I know that the character sets have changed a bit (I copied them over from de.wikipedia and just applied a few changes that made sense to me). I tried to group all "most used" characters and wiki markup elements in the default "Norma" group. Would you prefer if the paragraph sign was in a different group?
Here are the old exotic letters, you are right that the old list contained more characters:
Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū Ȳ ȳ   Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ   Æ æ Œ œ   Á á Ć ć É é Í í Ĺ ĺ Ń ń Ó ó Ŕ ŕ Ś ś Ú ú Ý ý Ź ź   À à È è Ì ì Ò ò Ù ù    â Ĉ ĉ Ê ê Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Î î Ĵ ĵ Ô ô Ŝ ŝ Û û Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ   Ä ä Ë ë Ï ï Ö ö Ü ü Ÿ ÿ   ß   à ã Ẽ ẽ Ĩ ĩ Ñ ñ Õ õ Ũ ũ Ỹ ỹ   Ç ç Ģ ģ Ķ ķ Ļ ļ Ņ ņ Ŗ ŗ Ş ş Ţ ţ   Đ đ   Ů ů   Ǎ ǎ Č č Ď ď Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ľ ľ Ň ň Ǒ ǒ Ř ř Š š Ť ť Ǔ ǔ Ž ž   ǖ ǘ ǚ ǜ   Ċ ċ Ė ė Ġ ġ İ ı Ż ż   Ą ą Ę ę Į į Ǫ ǫ Ų ų   Ḍ ḍ Ḥ ḥ Ḷ ḷ Ḹ ḹ Ṃ ṃ Ṇ ṇ Ṛ ṛ Ṝ ṝ Ṣ ṣ Ṭ ṭ   Ł ł   Ő ő Ű ű   Ŀ ŀ   Ħ ħ Ğ ğ   Ð ð Þ þ   Ǣ ǣ Ø ø Å å   Ə ə
Á á Ć ć É é Í í Ó ó Ś ś Ú ú Ý ý Ǿ ǿ   À à È è Ì ì Ò ò Ù ù    â Ĉ ĉ Ê ê Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Î î Ĵ ĵ Ô ô ŝ Ŝ Û û   Ä ä Ë ë Ï ï Ö ö Ü ü ÿ   à ã Ñ ñ Õ õ   Å å   Ç ç   Č č Š š ŭ   Ł ł   Ő ő Ű ű   Ø ø   Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū Ȳ ȳ   Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ğ ğ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ Y̆ y̆   ß   Æ æ Œ œ   Ð ð Þ þ |
Do you think that the old ordering was better or that any of the now-omitted exotic letters will sometimes be needed? Then I can add them again. Greetings, --UV 22:20, 2 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There has been a lot of duplication among the specific-language character sets; probably you have covered all that's necessary ... but at present I don't see the full list of dot-beneath characters anywhere (Ḍ ḍ Ḥ ḥ Ḷ ḷ Ḹ ḹ Ṃ ṃ Ṇ ṇ Ṛ ṛ Ṝ ṝ Ṣ ṣ Ṭ ṭ. Most of these are needed for Sanskrit and other Indian languages. And I know I have wanted Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ Ÿ in the past, but I can't remember for what language!
Peering very closely, I think there is a false character in this group: Č č Š š ŭ . I think you should delete ŭ from this group and paste in Ǔ ǔ instead.
I believe the edit page is definitely loading more quickly as a result of your work. Andrew Dalby 13:08, 4 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I made the changes you proposed to the "Litterae exoticae" character set. You may need to force-reload an editing page and/or clear your browser cache before you can see the effect. --UV 23:52, 4 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that the subsection "Romanice2" (which could be renamed "Dacoromanice", incidentally) has some false characters. Instead of the last four characters Ș ș Ț ț we need Ş ş Ţ ţ. (The characters Ș ș Ț ț look good in text, but they are not the ones that are actually used in cross-wiki page names etc.) Andrew Dalby 13:13, 28 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Changed. We may need to wait a few hours, then force-reload an editing page and/or clear the browser cache before we see the effect. Greetings, --UV 13:45, 28 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect. I guess, rather than telling you these things, I could edit MediaWiki:Onlyifediting.js myself ... Andrew Dalby 15:15, 28 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sure! But if it is easier for you to tell me, that is perfectly fine with me – whichever is easier for you! --UV 16:31, 28 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gratias

I just went to upload the images from arma ignifera and found you did it. Thanks!!--Rafaelgarcia 01:44, 23 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Sorry for just removing the three images from the page without looking whether they are uploadable – usually I try to find where the images have gone or whether they are on another wiki and can be reuploaded to commons, but this time I must have been absent-minded and I obviously have omitted this step. Greetings, --UV 21:49, 23 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, well, I thought I'd better have a go. I would be happy if you correct any of my translations -- I am not necessarily familiar with the usual terminology! Andrew Dalby 13:13, 28 Martii 2009 (UTC)[reply]

De imaginum impositione

Scripsi paginam de piratis et addere volebam nonnullas imagines. Ita imposui duo imagines in wikimedia commune, sed cum in recensione paginae meae nexus scripsi ad fasciculos addendos, non vidi imagines quas quaesiveram in pagina mea, sed tantum rubrum nexum. Quem si pungo, patefacit pagina "permissum erratum", quae mihi dicit tantum Magistrati ac Uploaders actum quod quaesiveram facere possunt. Sed ego fasciculos imposui vero, et nescio quid erratum sit. Potesne adiuvare? Spero te responsurum esse ac gratias tibi reddo plurimas.

Poecus 20:05, 8 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fasciculum nomine ….JPG (litteris maiusculis) apud Communia imposuisti, sed in pagina de piratis scripsisti ….jpg (litteris minusculis), ergo imago non monstrabatur. Necesse est nomen exactum fasciculi indicare. Vale! --UV 00:00, 9 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ita, statim errata correxi, et nunc imagines addere possum correcte. Tibi gratias reddo! Poecus 13:20, 9 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interwikilinks

hi bot, you don't have to move the interwikilinks (languages) on top of the categories. [1] --Kolja21 14:44, 18 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kolja21, UVbot was not moving interwiki links on top of categories, merely the {{Link FA}} template calls. I agree with you that this is not strictly necessary, but I do not know an easy way to stop pywikipediabot from touching the {{Link FA}} template calls while performing the other cleanup work.
By the way: The reason why UVbot edited that page was that the page contained a wikilink [[Deus|Deus]], which is an unnecessary duplication that caused that page to be listed as requiring cleanup on Vicipaedia:WikiProject Check Wikipedia. Greetings, --UV 18:25, 18 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Templates/interwiki's
