User:NorthtoSouth/monobook.js: Difference between revisions

When I attempt to purge the page (click the "make request" button) I get:

    "error": {
        "code": "internal_api_error_MediaWiki\\Revision\\BadRevisionException",
        "info": "[b94966b7-f9e7-4d7c-b22b-13d43d5a9c20] Caught exception of type MediaWiki\\Revision\\BadRevisionException",
        "errorclass": "MediaWiki\\Revision\\BadRevisionException"
    }

Can an interface admin please check this, and delete the page if it's not useful? I'd like to get it off my bot's error log. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 04:10, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

Note that there may be some number of pages with this problem. I just deleted Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-03-16/Discussion report which was reporting the same error. – wbm1058 (talk) 04:12, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

Fixed. Since we know what the content should have been per the creator's edit summary I restored that content (which required making and unmaking a dummy edit to avoid the system thinking it was a null edit ...) rather than deleting. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 06:10, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

FYI the software will let ordinary admins delete user JS pages. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 06:11, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

Any error code beginning with internal_api_error_ should be reported to phab. The closest matching task I could find is phab:T382904. – SD0001 (talk) 10:05, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

+1. MediaWiki bugs are best reported on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/. Pppery's workaround is clever, but won't get the root cause investigated. –Novem Linguae (talk) 04:19, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

Gadget-popups.js

There are a handful of edit requests awaiting attention, at MediaWiki talk:Gadget-popups.js. Please could someone take a look? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits; 20:52, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

That's a lot of edit requests. I can take a look tomorrow, if no one beats me to it. – SD0001 (talk) 10:03, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

@SD0001: Some are done, but there are still a couple outstanding. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits; 10:53, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

I just responded to one of the requests that still remain unanswered and with no replies. The answer to what I asked is obvious; I want to see how much testing was done before proposing this. It looks like they used Claude AI in developing the solution... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:20, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

I've done the one Oshwah handled in a way that mooted Oshwah's question. There's one request left: MediaWiki talk:Gadget-popups.js#Edit summaries in history/contribs previews double-escape HTML entities. My thinking re that is that I don't have enough confidence I won't cause an XSS by implementing it to be comfortable doing so; maybe someone else is ore motivated and confident. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:08, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

I handled that one. The queue is clear now, yay! – SD0001 (talk) 11:41, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

There is a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests#Administrator needed that requires an interface admin. Thanks, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:58, 6 November 2026 (UTC)

Done. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 01:22, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
