How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Ummm.....
This "If you publish a message on JackBot's talk it will stop" thing is weird. Maybe SEMI-protect it so that some vandal doesn't disable JackBot.... T. Gregtregretgtr (discuss • contribs) 23:30, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, when I started this system on Wikipedia, it was just to avoid to be blocked by admins in case of error: I was inexperienced and needed every one to participate to my beta tests. But now that I have more automatic tests, I'll think about it. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 07:48, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Deleted works of fiction.
Hi, I have recently asked an admin to email me 3 deleted works of fiction from here. I understand that they are out of scope for this project and I don’t request to revive the,. I’m only interested in reading them. Anyways, I feel bad asking the same user multiple times, so could you please email me the content of Uniquel Love, Statistics proverbs, When not to use half as the threshold, The Tale of the Headless Postman? Thanks in advance. -Gifnk dlm 2020 From Middle English Wikipedia 📜📖💻 (talk) 08:41, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello if you don't want to feel bad by pinging people, on several talk pages (for the same topic if untreated), and have a quicker answer, just use Requests_for_deletion. Then, the first available volunteers will handle the request. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 11:51, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! I will do that! -Gifnk dlm 2020 From Middle English Wikipedia 📜📖💻 (talk) 14:21, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Oi
i’m using those pages for the book creator so can you just userspace them instead of deleting them thanks Juuudfufhbf (discuss • contribs) 01:26, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You mean, like this: User:Juuudfufhbf/The legend book? JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 08:24, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

yes Juuudfufhbf (discuss • contribs) 16:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

StoryBots (Google Sites)/Netflix
Any idea what this is and similar edits by the same editor? --Xania   talk 03:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, it seems to be a bunch of heterogeneous topics relative to StoryBots, and I can't see how it could be admitted here as a pedagogic book. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 06:43, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your reply. I've queried these pages. I'll see if there's any improvement in the next few days.--Xania [[Image:Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Mann.svg|15px]] [[Image:Flag_of_Ukraine.svg|15px]] talk 08:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

How do wiki bots work
Hi Jack, I see that you are operating a bot JackBot. Is there a clear tutorial on creating a bot? I’m interested in creating one that will query the list of editors from this tool and keep the authors and contributors page of books up to date and hopefully to learn more about how wikibots work. I understand that the bots run client side. Thank in advance, - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 08:33, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, I don't know if https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis has an API or if it would need to parse the human site. However there are a few pages to read to create a bot:
 * w:Help:Creating a bot
 * Perlwikibot
 * MediaWiki API/Pywikibot

FYI
Regarding the recent "broken redirect"/"orphaned talk" deletions after the weird page moves, see Special:Log/merge (last two entries). Thanks, 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 22:30, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Moved book
Hello, You moved a book with the reason "too small to be a book". I didn't find any size requirements for books. Can you help here? Con-struct (discuss • contribs) 17:47, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, the growth part is explained into Using Wikibooks/How To Structure A Wikibook, and the smallest books are located into Category:One-page books. But there isn't any fixed precise characters number. So, we have to use common sense and think about the usefulness for the readers who find the stub from the search engine.

Created a new bot
Hi Jack, I have written the code for a bot to update the authors and contributors page of books. I would like to test it but I have a vpn on my computer. Could you please give an ip block exemption to User:AuthorsAndContributorsBot? Thanks in advance, - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 19:36, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Btw, I intend to only run it on one book at first (Programming in LOLGraphics 3.4) to test. If it causes trouble, I will revert the edit myself. - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 19:42, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I have disabled the VPN to test the bot but it got blocked by edit filter. Could you please unblock it? Thanks in advance, - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 20:09, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, apparently [//en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/277367 the filter 71 had been created to avoid to ping some of our contributors], who have contributed to the book you tried to update with their names. So this must be a recurrent problem if I just unblock the bot. I'm going to see what's best. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:17, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I've killed two birds with one stone by allowing the IP block exempted (like your bot since now) to bypass this filter. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:34, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! I have tested the bot and it works. Currently it’s only from a list of books defined in the code though I might change it in the future. - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 20:48, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Adding my bot to bot user group
Hi Jack, could you please add User:AuthorsAndContributorsBot to the bots user group? I think it’s annoying that edits by a bot a listed as edits by human users in Special:RecentChanges. Thanks in advance, - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 23:25, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello actually, as described in Bots, this bot flag request should be submitted in Requests for permissions. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:31, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Cookbook redirects question
Hello! I had asked MarcGarver some questions about redirects in the cookbook, but I haven't heard back and I wanted to get your feedback/opinion as well. Also mentioning @Xania since they've worked on the cookbook for a while. Thanks! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 22:20, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, I'm not the best specialist for that but I've expressed my humble opinion on the MarcGarver's talk page. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 12:16, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 15:05, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

COINTELPRO page deleted
Hi Jack, you have deleted a page I have worked on with a few of my peers - COINTELPRO: The FBI, Civil Rights, and Domestic Surveillance. I'm not sure why you would delete this because it was requested of us by our professor as an addition to a guidebook called Lentis (which was created by said professor). Can you please undo the deletion of the article? You essentially deleted our homework assignment. Thanks, Marshall M. Marshall-msm8key (discuss • contribs) 18:45, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ Hello I'm sorry about that but the page contained a template telling me that it wasn't conform for more than one week. Today I've restored and renamed it to be in Lentis according to Naming policy. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 07:01, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for restoring the page. Our group is new to publishing on Wikibooks so if there are any more issues feel free to contact us and let us know what's wrong. Marshall-msm8key (discuss • contribs) 07:40, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
