oh, thank you bawolff :) --Sahim (talk) 18:37, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

/me actually hasn't done anything yet. The issue is more with the data the script is receiving so is intermittent.

Yes, you say correctly. thanks for attention bawolff.Sahim (talk) 09:52, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Notification gadget

Hi, I used your code and modified it in fa.wiki and i have two problems

1. I wanted to use it for tagging templates in namespace=0 but it shows me errors that name space is incorrect.
2. in fa.wiki we have this gadget (as default for notify in talk pages) but my new revision is mixed by fa.wiki gadget and they have conflict. what should i do?
   

I save my revision on w:fa:کاربر:Reza1615/vector.js.

Category:January 1, 2012

I'm guessing you might know why this category doesn't exist, and more importantly what should be done about it. (I wouldn't care to manually create something that would then gum up the works of the automation.) --Pi zero (talk)

User:Zach used to run a bot that took care of those back in the day. Now it appears user:GrondinBot has created many of the recent ones. I wouldn't worry about any manual creations screwing things up. I suppose we should ask Grondin about it (He's generally active on frwikinews if i recall). Bawolff ☺☻ 11:23, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Caching

Seems like lately Google News isn't caching articles, not as many show up there, such as Santorum neologism gains prominence during US election cycle. Any ideas as to how to fix it? :) -- Cirt (talk) 04:45, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

hmm, not sure. That article seems to be the only recent one though, everything else on the main page seemed to be crawled by google [2]. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:29, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Okey, let me know if you think of something. -- Cirt (talk) 06:36, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Hexmode gave me a list of crawl errors, but the article wasn't listed on it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bawolff (talk • contribs)

Hrm, okay, thanks. -- Cirt (talk) 23:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

RSS question

Hi Bawolff, I saw your name on the toolserver for RSS feeds, and so I thought you might know the answer to this. What would be the code I would use for Feedburner for the "original feed" if I were to create one for a category of a Wikinewsie? Lots of writers here make categories, like Category:Crtew (Wikinewsie). The feed I'm looking for would generate x number of articles from that category by date. Thank you for your help, Crtew (talk) 01:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Redlink cat on my user page

Quick question, any ideas on why there is a redlinked category "Cirt", on my user page? -- Cirt (talk) 05:21, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

That's probably my fault. The bots (whatever they are) that used to set up our various date pages stopped working, and I've set up an infrastructure to make it very easy to do manually (centered, in an only slightly flawed way, on Category:Pages requesting maintenance). As part of that, I created a template to set up the DPLs on the date pages, but I'm guessing it doesn't work right when the date page is transcluded elsewhere. I suppose I'll have to work on that in my copious free time (but atm if I had that kind of time for Wikinews I'd be reviewing...). --Pi zero (talk) 06:51, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
