Re: living=no

I have no idea why but rater will sometimes automatically add it even when there is already a BLP parameter. This time I forgot to remove it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I found a bug in the Rater tool. It sets the living to no for some reason. Alaney2k (talk) 02:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Tagging Indonesian topics brings out some strange things at times, point taken, will check...JarrahTree 09:23, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK - I see the BLP yes has been put in and when the template is edited, it ignores that and enters the living=no by default, I would in certain circumstances, say that the template/rater doesnt recognise it...(rather than the editor applying it) however, shoot the piano I say..JarrahTree 09:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI - Have looked at one of the 12 articles that exists with the issue - and what has had is Tom.Reding has AWB'ed the blp=yes into the template header - and this does extactly the same if living=yes for the template - it creates the BLP banner above the template box. I hadnt checked at the edit history to look at previous edits to see the AWB of blp=yes when editing them, and in fact I will now simply remove the living=no are they are redundant and the result of some default mechanism in rater or the template that I have no understanding of how to suggest to you or other template fidlerers to do something about (ie when blp is entered, living is disallowed, or vice versa).. Thanks for reading this, and trust it makes sense to you. In this case, the piano, the player and the tune require prejudicial adjustment in whatever the best form is considered reasonable.

haha and I thought it was the banner shell/template box editors were the issue... thanks for the link... JarrahTree 10:21, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For that matter, read the previous message above for further enjoyment. JarrahTree 10:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Luis von Ahn

That's weird. WP:RATER defaulted to adding "living=no" even though it already had "blp=yes". I'll bring it up with whoever manages the tool. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:51, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see its a known issue... – Muboshgu (talk) 20:52, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Liz, it's a bit weird when you send a message saying the page will deleted after 7 days but then you delete the category immediately using C4. I would suggest using one system or the other, but the mixture is somewhat confusing — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Living person=no

Hi. Thanks for pointing out in two articles in which I was using the "Rater" tool were somehow switched to living=no. I did not make the switch actively, it must be a bug in the Rater tool that for some reason added that automatically. The next time I do some assessments, I'll check to see that parameter is correctly set. PS. I just noticed someone else had the same issue above. See here User talk:MSGJ#Re: living=no DaringDonna (talk) 17:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we are waiting for a fix. In the meantime, please check your edits. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:19, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I find my Wikipedia link to share to a friend --Baby ugllee (talk) 01:22, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What are you trying to do exactly? There is "permanent link" in the sidebar. You also generate a QR code for the article — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
