PageSwap not creating redirect for talk archives

Hi Ahecht, I've been using PageSwap for some time now, and have seen others use it too. But there is an issue which needs to be fixed. Let's say, we move Foo → Bar with PageSwap. The current condition is that Talk:Foo/Archive 1 exists, Talk:Bar/Archive 1 does not. It will move:

1. Talk:Bar → Draft talk:Move/Bar [Talk:Bar/Archive 1 does not exist]
2. Talk:Foo → Talk:Bar & Talk:Foo/Archive 1 → Talk:Bar/Archive 1
3. Draft talk:Move/Bar → Talk:Foo
4. Retarget a redirect from Talk:Foo if needed.

Here, in the whole process, Talk:Foo/Archive 1 gets deleted without any redirect to the new archive, causing several backlinks to get broken. Some incoming redirects also get G8ed. In other words, most of the times creating a redirect at archives is desirable, not always though. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 10:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

@CX Zoom I think that's a case where manual post-move cleanup is needed. Creating redirects to sub-pages is listed as out-of-scope on the PageSwap description page, as it would require a significant amount of additional code to enumerate the subpages and track them through the move. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:40, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Is it not easily possible to check if a target subpage exists, if there is, PageSwap as usual, otherwise simple move. If that's too much of a code, a pop-up message with list of subpages needing intervention after PageSwap is done should be helpful. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 18:43, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

@CX Zoom Try out the sandbox version of PageSwap (User:Ahecht/sandbox/Scripts/pageswap.js). I did some quick tests and it seems to work, but it probably needs some more testing with various edge cases before a wider rollout. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:47, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Sure I'll also try them out. Thanks a lot for working on it. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 20:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

"The following subpages are moved, and may need redirects:". Do you think it would be more proper if it said "...and may need new redirects or updating existing ones:" or is that too long? Basically, when an Archive with an existing redirect to Foo is page swapped with article Foo, it creates a self-redirect. Everything else appears perfect. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 21:25, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

@CX Zoom I changed the language to "new or updated redirects". I haven't had the time to be active on WP:RM recently, but I'll run with it for a few days and then copy it over if I don't find any other bugs. --Ahecht (TALK

Sure. Thank you very much for your efforts! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 19:03, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Unnecessary original research templates

Hello. I noticed that you've added {original research} templates to dozens of articles about elections and politicians, generally in the context of sentences like "This remains the last time that a Republican has won a U.S. Senate election in New Mexico" or "He is the last Democrat to serve as governor of Nebraska", etc. I thought I should remind you that WP:CALC allows for these sorts of claims, because they can be easily "calculated" from the election results already sourced. As such, the "original research" footnotes aren't necessary and really only serve to muddy the waters, so I would appreciate it if you could stop adding them. Many thanks, Cpotisch (talk) 07:36, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

User:Ahecht/Scripts/draft-sorter.json, entry for Nigeria/Lagos

Hi, please remove the Nigeria/Lagos entry from User:Ahecht/Scripts/draft-sorter.json - the WikiProject banner was deleted more than five months ago (see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 May 16#Template:WikiProject Nigeria/Lagos), and the history of Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken WikiProject templates shows that people are still adding the template to talk pages. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

User:Ahecht/Scripts/draft-sorter.json isn't used anywhere. The old version of my draft-sorter script stored a cache in the userspace of the user running the script, but it switched over to using a centralized version a year ago (currently Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/WikiProject templates.json). --Ahecht (TALK

Random article: bug report

Hello. You're probably already aware of that but the tool 'Random in category' does not provide the correct link if the article title ends with a question mark. For example, in sl:Kategorija:Članki o albumih, v katerih naslovnici manjka alternativno besedilo it provided the article sl:Še pomnite Kuzle, tovariši, but the correct title would be sl:Še pomnite Kuzle, tovariši?. I suggest this is documented at README. --TadejM ^{my talk} 17:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@TadejM I wasn't aware of that, but it should be fixed now. Pages with question marks (or other special characters) in their titles should now redirect correctly. --Ahecht (TALK

POTD helper not working in Vector 2022

Hi Ahecht

I hope you're well. Just a quick note that the script that you wrote at User:Ahecht/Scripts/potd-helper doesn't seem to be working in the new Vector 2022 skin. The browser console seems to log the same messages as in the old skin, and no errors reported, but the usual fields and buttons for the POTD helper don't appear. If you have a spare moment, would you be able to have a look at it? Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 15:13, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@Amakuru Thanks for the heads up. It should be working again now. You may have to do a WP:REFRESH before it will work. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:33, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! That works great.  — Amakuru (talk) 16:51, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@Amakuru Saw your mention about the script using tall=yes. This is triggered whenever the width you specified would make the image taller than 300px, which is the height of the {{tall image}} template. I bumped up the threshold to 350px to give a little wiggle room, and I'll look into coding in a warning if you specify an image width that would trigger the tall image option. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 23:15, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@Amakuru New version is released. You'll now get a warning if your image size is too large. --Ahecht (TALK
