Some template moves

Hi Primefac. Could you take a look at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 72#Di templates and suggest a possible next course of action? -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:38, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I would start an RM about the matter. As much as the "D" stands for "discussion", the two or three times I've seen someone attempt to use TFD as an actual venue for discussion they pretty much got shouted out of the room. Primefac (talk) 10:19, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:47, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi again Primefac. I made a request at WP:RM for these templates and they were moved accordingly; however, the wording in the templates and the corresponding notification templates weren't changed. I thought that would all be taken care of as part of the move, but it wasn't. The templates are protected and I can't edit them myself. Do I need to make another RM request for notification templates or can any admin just do the rest of the cleanup? — Marchjuly (talk) 14:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

A {{TPER}} would be needed to change things in the template itself, otherwise just let me know specifically what needs fixing and I'll get to it. Primefac (talk) 14:28, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

There appears to be a dummy link in each template's "Usage" section that still refers to it by its old name. There's also a link in each template's "Notify" section to a notification template as well, but each corresponding notification template may need a separate move to reflect the parent template's name change. Basically, it looks like the only thing that needs to be changed is "fair use" to "non-free use". — Marchjuly (talk) 14:43, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

The usage and notify sections are tied to the provided template's name, so the notification templates likely need to be changed before the usage can be fixed (though I will note that since it's a redirect technically it will still work as described/intended). Primefac (talk) 15:44, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for taking another look at these. I made a RM request for the for notification template so perhaps the in-body links can be updated once those pages are moved as well. If there's any other clean up that needs to be done that I can do, please let me know. There are a some short-cuts for a couple of these templates and mentions of them made on other pages like WP:CSD#Files, but those probably will redirect to the new page names, right? -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:08, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, assuming the moves are done "as usual" (as opposed to doing so with the redirect creation suppressed) everything will still work even if it's not fully up-to-date. Primefac (talk) 22:13, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

The notification templates have been now been moved and the in-body links in each template now rediect to the new pages. I guess that's sufficient for the moment, but ideally it would probably be a good idea at some point to update the wording of each template as well. Is the best way to go about doing this via TPERs on each templates talk page? -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:41, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

I've updated the template links, but if there's more that needs updating a TPER means you're not dependent on my seeing this and caring enough to make the edit (though I do patrol the cat so I might be the one that responds anyway!). Primefac (talk) 12:50, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help Primefac. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:04, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

For some reason, the last request related to these templates that I made at RMT got moved to WP:RMT#Administrator needed by another editor. I'm not sure why this was done because the other moves I requested were done fairly quickly as uncontroversial requests. Anyway, the request has gone unresponded to for almost a week; so, I'm wondering if you could take a look at it and see if there's a problem with it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Not really sure why that needed an admin, but the page has been moved so you should be good to go. Primefac (talk) 10:20, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Marchjuly The templates were move protected so that only admins could move them --Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 12:47, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Good to know, it's odd that move protection doesn't show up when you edit a page... Primefac (talk) 13:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying things Megan B..... I didn't notice the template was protected. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:45, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi again Primefac. I came across another template whose wording needs to be tweeked in accordance with the above-mentioned changes. Can you update the f7 part of Template:Deletable image-caption "Criteria" section to change "This file has an invalid fair use claim" to "This file has an invalid non-free use claim"? -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

 Done. Primefac (talk) 12:32, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Than you Primefac. I hope you and your family have a happy and safe holiday season. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:35, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

user groups

Hi Primefac, since you put in the page mover group 3 months ago I've been helping at RM and I've been handling several requests every day, most days. There was a bit of a learning curve 3 months ago and I made a few mistakes to begin with, but then several people kindly gave me feedback and it's been really smooth for the last couple of months. It'd be good to have this on a permanent basis if you think that's fine - I've built this into my wiki-routine now and I don't mind carrying on. Thanks! Dr. Vogel (talk) 01:18, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome to re-apply at the PERM page - I prefer to let other admins take a look at re-requests. Primefac (talk) 07:21, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Done, thank you :) Dr. Vogel (talk) 12:25, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to pester you about this again. I placed the request as you suggested. It's now been a week and it hasn't been reviewed yet, and now the right has expired, so I can no longer help with these :( Dr. Vogel (talk) 12:45, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

There aren't that many admins that patrol PGM requests, though a week seems a bit long. I'll get to it as soon as I can. Primefac (talk) 12:46, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Module:Political party

Hi, how can i change the party colors of ukrainian parties? All of them that I have seen are incorrect if you check them, many of them are incorrect. I'm interested in {party color | ***}}. If you explain to me, I will change everything to the correct and correct colors, because now there is a certain mess with them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Block baby (talk • contribs) 14:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Information about updating and fixing content in the module is at Module:Political_party#Updating_the_module. If you cannot edit a data module yourself, then you should place an edit request on the module's talk page along with the requested change (for example, "The colour for XYZ party is incorrect, it should be _____").

Perhaps premature closing of ANI.

I just saw that you closed my Outing ANI [1] after the offending editor deleted their problematic text, and even thanked them from doing so. I must note that it took significant push-back from another editor (and me opening an ANI) before they made the revert. Before that, they wrote several times to justify what they did. Additionally, this is part of a pattern of behavior on their part, including harassments of editors, as I noted on the article's Talk page: "First you initiated a project to out editors who you felt were part of an off-Wiki editing team, even trying to get like minded editors to help, and now this. For some reason I am laughing at your "unintentional" claim. I am done with you." The issue there was an ANI brought against me and others by this editor because they were not getting their way editing a page - which led to a ridiculously long discussion wasting everyone's time. I believe the editor was temporarily blocked. (check this?) There was talk about initiating a topic ban as well. (?) So I think - this being on the same topic that they will not let go of (Skeptical articles and editors) perhaps that issue needs a reevaluation. Rp2006 (talk) 21:46, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Fair enough. Reopened for more discussion. Primefac (talk) 21:48, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Sorry... How do I reopen the ANI? Rp2006 (talk) 21:56, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

I already did it. Primefac (talk) 21:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Oh. Thanks. This has badly escalated. Some of the remaining text can be followed, without too much detective skills, to ascertain the original outing details, as another editor (someone who has been sympathetic to the problematic one) just did in the ANI.

Need help with potential TfDs

Hi, i just learnt that most Political shortname and color templates are deleted in favor of a centralised Module as per the outcome of this TfD initiated by you. So, can you consider to add the templates under Template:Party shading in this module, and initiate appropriate TfDs, unless one is already in process. Thanks! ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 17:17, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

I'll be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about the shading templates, and by extension what to do with them. On the one hand, they do fall into that /meta/shading system that saw /color etc to be deleted, but since there are generally ACCESS concerns coming along with (what some view as) unnecessary shading, I'm not sure if it would make more sense to delete them outright or merge them into the module (which wouldn't be a huge burden to merge them in). I do note (if my quarry is right) that there are only about 200, so I think the case could be made to just get rid of them since they clearly aren't as heavily-used as say the /color options. I'd want to see a bit more discussion, especially since there are some folks who really want them kept. Primefac (talk) 13:17, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

meta/shading templates are generally unused but for US Democratic & Republican parties it exceeds 26,700 transclusions total (Republican, Democratic), which is pretty high usage. Some editors also seem to have a thing for shading up cells with party colors if shading colors are not available, and party colors are generally darker than corresponding shading colors making it unreadable. ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 14:42, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

I've been working on post-module cleanup of templates and categories and have been looking at these more closely. Of the valid /shading templates (templates used to color a cell with text in it, and not those that are used in the exact same manner as the {{Party color}} family) most (all?) don't take into account color contrast accessibility (MOS:CONTRAST) and a lot use the colors without any real reader value and some even impact the article in a negative way. A few random examples of bad usage of colors:

• Alaska#State politics - the coloring of the Democratic and Republican columns is pretty much pointless as the colors don't add anything that the column header didn't already say but they do make the table much more "noisy" and harder to read. The only columns which have colors that have any meaning are the "year" and "others" columns, however they aren't accompanied by any text explaining what they mean. So vision impaired readers won't know there is any significane in either cell while everyone except a small group of editors don't know what the colors purple and grey mean in the "other" column.
• Austin, Texas#City government - the coloring of the entire table here also serves very little value. The "Party (officially nonpartisan)" column already has this info better explained.

In both situations, if the color is really needed, it can be used like it is done in non-shading tables (such as the one at Alaska#Voter registration) by using another small column at the start (however, as noted above, this should not be the only way that a piece of information is presented in a table). Gonnym (talk) 15:57, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Basically what I'm hearing is that for 99% of situations where there is shading, it can either be removed as redundant or replaced by a {{party colour cell}} that adds an extra colour box (for those "visual representation of the party changes" needs). Primefac (talk) 16:28, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Haven't checked each shading usage so there might be some other use-cases, but in general those are my findings so far. Gonnym (talk) 16:35, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Another example of bad usage is at KwaZulu-Natal (National Assembly of South Africa constituency)#Summary (which is a common type of a table, see also Courland (Saeima constituency)). The entire row is colored with a party color which I'm assuming is meant to represent the party with the most seats, yet it isn't explained anywhere and makes completely no sense that a column for "United Democratic Movement", which is yellow, has green and red colors in its cell. Better methods of presenting this information would be for example to add a color cell at the start of the row, or a column for "Party with most seats", or a note explaining that the bold values represent the party with the most seats that year. Gonnym (talk) 16:43, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

In articles like 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia#Polling and Opinion polling for the 2019 Indian general election, I believe, that shading remains the best way to highlight the data (party colors have been used in latter due to absence of shading templates). In articles like the above examples of Kwa-Zulu and Courland, shading would be a better visualisation if done correctly as in 2021 London Assembly election#Constituency candidates. In my opinion, party colors can't completely replace shading (and thus they be kept). But in articles like List of members of the 17th Lok Sabha, where colored cells can obviously replace shading, they should be carried out. ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 22:16, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I also think shading templates can often be useful, such as at 1996 United States presidential election in Georgia#Results by county to pick an example. I don't see how removing the shading there would improve the situation, and regardless, I think that should be a separate discussion from the merging of these templates into the module (which already has consensus).

Template:Flag question

Hi Primefac. Do you have any idea why the non-free file File:Flag of the Torres Strait Islanders.svg is showing up when Torres Strait Islands is used in combination with Template:Flag. The combination was being used in Australian Aboriginal languages, which probably means that the non-free file is being taken from some documentation page like Template:Country data Torres Strait Islands. The exact syntax was {{flag|Torres Strait Islands|local}} and it seems that the "local" argument is what's calling up the non-free file. I think it might have something to do with this IP edit made to the country data page, but I'm not sure. It's not really a good idea for a non-free file to be able to be added to pages via templates like this because it could cause the file to be used in non-policy compliant ways, but I'm not sure whether this was intentionally done or is just a template qwirk. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:57, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Your reasoning is pretty much spot on. fixed. Primefac (talk) 12:50, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Send it to AFD please; draftifying it will only kick the can down the road. I accepted it as a borderline case but I know that if it's sent back to draft the author will just beat their head against the wall attempting to get it accepted again (I wouldn't wish the hour I spent with them on IRC to be repeated for anyone else).

Primefac you said it was borderline but still passed so how can it be marked for deletion please the holidays are here and the subject sources were not bad it's the way journalism in Hip hop is done. Please guys this hurts so bad because the subject has shared with all of his family members and the world the link and now it says it going to be deleted. Borderline is a pass please guys don't do this it hurts so bad it's almost like the chainsaw cut off our necks when this was done we were simply just trying to remove the ophan tag please guys it is a pass like Primefac originally stated please don't pull the rug from under us just like that. The sources are credible and borderline which means it should not be scheduled for deletion! Its almost like giving a kid a bag of candy then when they go to take a piece out you take the bag from him. This hurts so bad words can't explain that pain felt from this. Hopefully you guys can please stop the deletion process and find it in your hearts to accept it back! Happy holidays!Godsentme1 (talk) 05:04, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Godsentme1: In the end, it's not the New Page Curation volunteers, the English Wikipedia sysops, or even the Wikimedia Stewards that decide whether or not a subject meets the criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia. It is, in fact, the community themselves. Since the article has been proposed for deletion, the community will consider whether the topic is notable and meets the criteria for inclusion on the English Wikipedia. Unfortunately, this is not a social nicety nor is it a process that can be stopped for vanity sake. This is how Wikipedia is intended to work. Operator873 ^connect 05:26, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Godsentme1, a "borderline accept" is not a guarantee of anything. We have a saying at AFC that we only accept drafts that have at least a 50/50 chance of being kept at AFD, and your page falls squarely into that group; on the surface the draft looked "good enough" when I reviewed it, but I knew that further community review would be necessary to determine if it really was an acceptable page. I'm sorry that this don't appear to be working out the way you had hoped, but not everyone gets an article on Wikipedia no matter how hard they try. Primefac (talk) 12:01, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Template edit request

Thanks for cleaning up that mess last night. I'm hoping you'll make quick of another request. If you'd have a look at {{XRV-notice}} and maybe do some safe substitute magic to it, I'm hoping to post it to the XRV project page right away. Thanks again.--John Cline (talk) 13:26, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Does it not currently work as intended? It looks like everything should subst properly. Primefac (talk) 13:30, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes everything works fine, I just wanted you to look and sort of do a technical copyedit of sorts, if and where needed. Thanks again.--John Cline (talk) 13:34, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Looks fine to me! Primefac (talk) 13:38, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Trouble with AWB

I’ve been trying to log in all day but I keep getting “Aborted” as a pop up message, could it be because of the fact that I have 2FA enabled be causing this? Please help me. Celestina007 (talk) 14:07, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Have you tried Using AWB with 2FA? Primefac (talk) 15:33, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks it worked like magic. Celestina007 (talk) 21:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
