User talk:HwyNerd Mike: Difference between revisions

Welcome to my tokk! Be nice. Also, if you’ve come to complain about me, which is mostly what happens: welcome! I make mistakes, and I welcome any help. You might as well create a new post below:

Please don’t template me! Everybody makes mistakes, and this user finds user warning templates impersonal and disrespectful. If there’s something you’d like to say, please take a moment to write a comment below in your own words.

Thank you so much! HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 04:11, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on the JavaScript! I messed around a bit with User:Polygnotus/Scripts/LastActive.js. It uses the XTools API, so you get the globalcontribs instead of the most recent contrib on that particular wiki, and it uses (very) rudimentary rate limiting.

Holy! I am not learning MediaWiki Javascript so in-depth like you did. Honestly, I’m currently tweaking my stuff so that it detects the user rights too, but it looks like it’s not gonna work any day soon. HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 02:11, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to shout if you need any help, or throw rocks in my general direction. For the user rights thing it may be a good idea to look at existing scripts, there are various unintuitive (imo) tricks. See Wikipedia:User_scripts/List#User_information.

If I remember correctly there is a JSON file somewhere out there with who has which user rights, regularly updated by a bot, which you can use in your code. One moment, I’ll try to find it. Polygnotus (talk) 02:15, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So it is User:NovemBot who updates the file daily, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NovemBot/userlist.js and you can use that to get the required info, see for a quick and dirty example User:Polygnotus/Scripts/UserRights.js which checks if Jimbo Wales is an admin (he is not) and outputs that to the console. Enjoy! Polygnotus (talk) 02:22, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to need to comprehend that. Thank you! HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 02:28, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Polygnotus Can you help me tweak User:HwyNerd Mike/self.js? It is clearly not working, and I’m not seeing any day when I’ll make it work without your help. HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 02:46, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See User:Polygnotus/Scripts/Self2.js. You were very close. Polygnotus (talk) 02:49, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So that’s what I am missing… (currently brain dead) HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 02:52, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And the first thing that the script did was disrespect me! While I am extended confirmed, it replied “false” in the code 🙁 HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 02:56, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hm that is very unkind. Teach it some manners! But yeah that one is not in the JSON. You could call the API tho. Polygnotus (talk) 03:00, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So for example User:Polygnotus/Scripts/ItBeMikeYo.js. Polygnotus (talk) 03:05, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll try it. Also, amazing speed creating that many lines of code in that short of a time. HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 03:07, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Claude.ai is pretty fast. Am currently a bit confused because extendedconfirmed is in the JSON. I blame a cosmic ray bit flip because debugging is work. https://hackaday.com/2021/02/17/cosmic-ray-flips-bit-assists-mario-64-speedrunner/ Polygnotus (talk) 03:10, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is the classic async await vs fetch.then() stuff. Polygnotus (talk) 03:00, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:2804:14C:176:A374:431:6EFC:318B:7DFB has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template.

Ok, ok, I get it. HwyIdiot Mike (talk) 22:57, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The CD singles are gone so the pages are now dead linked. I proved archived links to both and pointed out some other stuff that’s been released as well as provided archived links to them as well. 2601:806:8380:4340:4984:DD20:BD6C:6501 (talk) 23:29, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I’ll check when I have time! Going out rn. HwyNerd Mike (t | c) 23:49, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
