Nx, mi amor
I think I've pissed off enough people to be able to say what I think. It's refreshing to be able to be pretentious and honest for once.
Nx, if I may call you Nx (or would you prefer Nx?), you are this wretched gathering of scum and villainy's last, best hope. For months I have been agreeing with practically everything you've said about the wiki, and I wish you would speak up more often. RW has rules, it just doesn't like to admit it - get them to admit that they both have and need rules, and that may be an important step in the right direction. Or leave them and turn to better things. Both are noble choices.
I tried speaking up. The results were not pretty. And after numerous HCMs, I no longer give a shit. I still care a little bit about RationalWiki, so I can't leave completely, and I have a great deal of respect for Trent, so I would feel guilty if I left it to him to keep this wiki running alone. But I've been devoting much less of my time to RW recently, and it's no longer a top priority.
The hell?
I'm too tired to go through all the bullshit, so I'll just ask straight away: why all the use of revision delete? Eleven revisions seems like a whole shit ton to delete, in my opinion.
Because that's how mediawiki works. You have to delete all revisions starting from the one that added the offending text up to, but not including the one where it was removed, because every revision contains the entire text of the page. Another reason to adopt liquidthreads.
Ah, okay. Then that must follow, then, that there were 11 revisions before it got deleted. Makes sense now. Thanks.
Yes, that's why you should remove a link like that immediately, then discuss whether it is appropriate or not. It can be restored later easily, but deleting it after a bunch of comments have been added results in a large chunk of the history going down the memory hole.

Is this what you meant? Am I doing it right? Burlap bags (talk) 07:48, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I get it. This is how it supposed to be done? And why is your talk page so weird to navigate? Burlap bags (talk) 06:08, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Is there an elegant way to retrieve the polling data of our wigos (number of up/down votes) ? I'd love to take a look at the current statistics of our wigo-page...
Thanks,
No, but I can make an api function to retrieve the stats. I'm waiting for my cable modem to be replaced because my connection is dodgy and if I go offline while hacking RW I could break the site, like I did on Monday.
An api-function? That would be fantastic. And I'm not in a hurry... Thanks, larronsicut fur in nocte 20:04, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Gadgets
I've noticed that, since the upgrade, some of my most prized toolbox gadgets (i.e: User rights button and RenameUser button) no longer appear in my toolbox. Any ideas and or help you can offer?
If you put them in your monobook.js, then they'll only work with the monobook skin. If you activate them in preferences -> gadgets, they'll work on vector too.
I do have them activated via the preferences->gadgets and they are not working. Hmmmm.....
That's weird, they're working for me... Try the following:
- View the source of any page, (preferably a user page, but that shouldn't matter), and search for gadget-userrights and gadget-userrename. There should be something like this:
<script src="/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-userrights.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&283"></script> <script src="/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-userrename.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&283"></script>
- If that's not present, then try this: disable the gadget in preferences, save, enable again, save.
- If it is present, I'll need your browser name, version, and preferably some kind of error log, (Ctrl-Shift-J in Chrome; in Firefox click Tools->Error log, click clear all, then click the errors button to show only errors, then reload a user page)
