Is it me?!

'Make lead' has been acting weird for me lately -- what gives??--Bddpaux (talk) 18:39, 9 January 2025 (UTC)reply

I just saw your message. I've used it recently and didn't notice any issues. what issues are you seeing? I typically only use it to generate Lead 1 and then I manually move the rest using source editor. It's tedious and I don't know an automated way to do it other than to use the ML tool five times. —Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Reviewer) 17:31, 20 January 2025 (UTC)reply
I had previously proposed a script that allows for the auto sequential shuffling of all lead templates. It also provides an option to specify a custom shuffle pattern, if required in any case. Just to clarify, I did not intend for this to be considered as an alternative to Make Lead. I originally developed it for Bengali wikinews and later adapted it for here.
