User talk:Anomie#Wondering about past talk of having a real programming language

Hi, I found your [https://oauth-hello-world.toolforge.org OAuth Hello World!] tool very helpful just today, although you wrote it 12 years ago. Thank you for making it. I'd like to suggest a small update to the source code, and according to [https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/oauth-hello-world] you're the only one with access.

Hi Anomie,

you reverted my change: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1277888883 diff]

please check the Wikipedia Articles about the 2 provinces. These (once combined regions) were split again in 2024.

Vestfold og Telemark "On 31 December 2023, the county ceased to exist. The new counties of Telemark and Vestfold were re-established on 1 January 2024."

Troms og Finnmark "On 15 June 2022, the parliament decided to split the county back into Finnmark and Troms beginning on 1 January 2024, .."

If you check Openstreetmap, where it is also split again. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10487008 openstreetmap.org/relation/]

Please verify. Aleks-ger (talk) 12:56, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

: {{re|Aleks-ger}} None of those links indicate that the ISO 3166/MA has updated the ISO 3166-2 standard to reflect those changes (yet). The article in question is about the standard. Anomie⚔ 13:03, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

::OK. Is it possible to see, if they are planned, pending, or similar? Its about 14 month since the internal (norway national) change. This is a confusion situation, form my point of view. Aleks-ger (talk) 13:31, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

::: You'd have to contact the ISO 3166/MA. Looks like there's contact information for them at https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html. I agree it'd be nice if they'd get it updated, but I don't know what bureaucracy they have there. Anomie⚔ 14:07, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

:::: {{re|Aleks-ger}} FYI, you might be interested in the discussion ongoing at Talk:ISO 3166-2:NO. Anomie⚔ 13:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Well, what is it about? The heading "Proposal" gives other editors no clue when they see an edit summary that shows that the latest post is in a section simply called "Proposal." - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 05:05, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

: Should be clear if you actually read the proposal and preceeding section. It relates to Wikipedia talk:Citing sources#New proposal: deprecate {{reflist|refs{{=}} in favor of <references>? rather than #Should list-defined references be discouraged?. Anomie⚔ 11:34, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::"clear if you actually read the proposal and preceeding section" No doubt that is true. But this page has 2,122 watchers. Why make all of them "actually read the proposal and preceeding section" just to know what is being discussed? Your revert didn't fix that problem. - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 16:49, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::: I was referring to you not reading the section before you tried changing the header, not any of the people involved in or ignoring the discussion. Anomie⚔ 19:01, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::::And I was referring to you reverting my change rather than improving it. - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 19:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

The proposed changes to unsigned were publicized [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jpgordon&diff=prev&oldid=1286722435 some], but at least one person who was notified wondered why they were notified, which tells me that the notification wasn't quite right. As I said in the TFD, I didn't care because I didn't use it, but it looks to me like it was closed prematurely, so it probably didn't inform the most frequent users of it. Several who proposed "merge" said explicitly that "the arguments for unsigned2 should be kept in the same order"; that seems to have been ignored by the implementer. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:53, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

: I had a typo in my edit summary, I had meant to say "not even advertised here" (with "here" meaning on Template talk:Unsigned). 😳 Anomie⚔ 18:10, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

::Like I said, the notification wasn't quite right. In that regard either. I do think the TFD was closed without a real understanding of the impact of screwing with those templates. Perhaps I should have said more than, "Here's why both of these exist, and it doesn't matter to me what happens." --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:39, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, regarding User:Anomie/previewtemplatelastmod.js, I notice that in addition to the five documented classes, it also adds the class mw-watched to the {{tag|li|o}} tags where applicable. I have successfully utilised this with the following pair of CSS rules: /* indicate unwatched (white star) or watched (blue star) pages in "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page" list, when :en:User:Anomie/previewtemplatelastmod is installed */

div.templatesUsed li::marker {

color: #c8b250;

content: "\2606\20";

}

div.templatesUsed li.mw-watched::marker {

color: #68bdff;

content: "\2605\20";

} I'm not certain, but it might be possible to remove the div from the two selectors without affecting other pages. The colours and characters are based on Vector Legacy's watch-star. Maybe something could be added to the script's documentation. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:20, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

: In my CSS, I have a bit that bolds the title of the template. I added a mention of it on the script's doc page. Anomie⚔ 23:10, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
