Categories for eradication
Hey Kris! Thanks for the bot work you’re doing. Awhile ago, we created an abuse filter to prevent the use of the category, My Vhs Ideas, but it fails to catch the singular. Would you mind, when you have a moment, doing the following: Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:20, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Change Special:AbuseFilter/4 so that it catches its category in either singular or plural form, regardless of case
 * Change Special:AbuseFilter/6 so that it catches its category in either singular or plural form, regardless of case
 * Remove the category, My vhs idea, singular or plural, from every page on which it occurs, regardless of case
 * Remove the category, My video idea, singular or plural, from every page on which it occurs, regardless of case


 * Will get onto it in a sec :) 07:23, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Removed links to stop redlinking and wanted category... It's all done now... Just tested and am unable to create anything that contains it :P :) 07:40, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Fantastic! Were you also able to remove those four, not case-sensitive possibilities from any page on which they existed? Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:00, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * They didn't exist on any pages :) Also chat logging is working: Scratchpad:Chat/Logs/13_March_2013

I see what you did. You removed the s, which means it will catch both the singular and plural. Clever! By the way, the one category does exist at http://bit.ly/X5Fomn. It contains hundreds of entries. So, if one of your bots could strip that category from every one of those pages, that’d be great. Then, afterwards, we can delete and salt the category page itself. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:12, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's running now :) Enjoy 08:29, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Forum errors
I am so glad you’re here. You can fix all our technical problems! The next one is, why are there all those errors at Forum:Index? Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:22, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Never mind. It fixed itself after I made an edit to the page. A null edit would probably have been sufficient. Go figure. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:44, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * What errors, they disapeared after my magic touch ;)

Template:Speedy delete
Hey Cblair91! When you’re marking pages for deletion, if they qualify, you might sometimes want to use. The criteria for its use are listed in the documentation. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:30, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

P.S. You might also want to take a look at the policy page at SP:DELETE. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:22, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Wham! (w/out George Michael)
As disscussed …

Extra button for Quick Tools (Wham!)
Hey Grunny! I was wondering if w:c:vstf:User:Joeyaa/wham.js could be modified to have one more button. Right now, the button labelled All of the above combines the following functions: However, sometimes, you only want to do the first two. So, I was hoping we could add a button that combined only: Would that be possible? Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  10:54, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete all pages
 * Rollback all edits
 * Quick block
 * Delete all pages
 * Rollback all edits


 * Didn't test it, but I've added a button at w:c:vstf:User:Randomtime/wham.js that should do the trick --  Random Time  11:03, November 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * That fast?! :O That file is the most complex thing I’ve ever seen. I figured it’d take forever to add the extra button. Thanks! I'm going to give it a try now. — Spike  Toronto  11:59, November 28, 2012 (UTC)


 *  UPDATE : I gave it a try and it did something odd. If I remember correctly, even if the miscreant created a page, if others have since edited it, QuickTools will not delete it. Yet, the revised version — with the “Delete+rollback” button — just deleted a page that had been edited by others since the miscreant created it. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  15:19, December 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm just wrapping the 2 functions that already exist, I haven't changed the code of the delete or rollback tool, so everything should be the same. --  Random Time  17:48, December 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * That’s what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation. :) — Spike  Toronto  20:43, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Quick Tools (Wham) & Rollback
Hey Grunny! I notice that the rollback for w:c:vstf:User:Joeyaa/wham.js rolls back edits by User:JohnDoe to User:JohnDoe. Normally, rollback will only rollback a user’s edits if it can roll them back to another, different user’s edits. Can this glitch be fixed in QuickTools/Wham? Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  04:57, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

P.S. Also, can QuickTools/Wham be altered to permit us to alter the rollback description? Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  04:59, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Delimiting QuickTools/Wham!
Hey Grunny! It’s the pest again. :P One of the things I like about QuickTools/Wham is how it only operates on those items showing on the rendered contribs page. We can further limit that by specifying a particular namespace, eliminating a namespace, specifying month to go back from, etc. I was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to specify a starting date forwards, such that the only entries displayed would be those after a particular date or month? This would be especially useful when working with IP edits since it would permit one to focus on a single day or block of edits for especially dynamic IP addresses where it is only one anonymous editor’s edits at that IP address on which one wants to focus. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  05:12, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Wham! file locations
The Wham! JS is currently at User:Cblair91/wham.js. The CSS for the jquery interface used by Wham! is at MediaWiki:Uijquery.css. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  09:54, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Category:Wikia tour
Hello, new admin. Your user page statement suggests that running a bot is all that you do, but the new community message suggests otherwise.

I'm glad the Wikia tour is still functioning here, because it's a key link in the tour chain that covers a couple of dozen mainly oldish Wikia sites. If you ever want to merge it with "your" 6-year-old Wiki tour, please let it start with the same page - Project:Wikia tour - and end with the same link on to the next one in the chain (currently Calgary).

I wonder whether the author of the Wiki tour will resume editing - four years is quite a lapse. Some of that so-called tour seems to be what "your" Community Portal might contain. I doubt if Lcarsdata will complain if you update that portal, as he or she last edited in June 2006. Maybe several pages could be copied from w:c:starter, which arose long after this wiki did. Your Category:Templates suggests that admins might help users a lot with very little work. I thought of Template:Wikipedia, for example, but I see that you have it though it's not categorized, and it's not alone in that.

Kind regards and good luck.

 * It seems to be up and running now. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:44, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Pages to be redirected to w:c:hgames
Kris, the following are the categories whose pages are to be redirected to w:c:hgames: As I understand it, the redirect is to take the following form:""Do not redirect the four category pages themselves.
 * Category:IllusionGames
 * Category:@HomeMate
 * Category:Hako
 * Category:School Mate 1

Do not remove any categories that exist on the pages being redirected. However, be sure to add the following categories to each page redirected: If you have any questions, or are unsure of anything, please contact me. Thanks and good luck! :) — Spike  Toronto  04:05, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Category:Closed wiki
 * Category:Mini-wikis upgraded to full Wikia wikis


 * So far done:
 * Category:IllusionGames
 * Category:@HomeMate
 * Category:Hako
 * Category:School Mate 1


 * Just doing the rest now dear :) 06:59, March 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Update: We are now all done :) enjoy my dear 07:22, March 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Some of them are not working because the bot did not place the redirect statement at the very top of the page. For example: Sexy Beach 3. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:41, March 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Get on skype -.- 07:45, March 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Right, should be fixing now :P Removing old redirect, and prepending (insert BEFORE the article) instead of appending (add at the end of the article) :D

Category:Created by me
Kris, would you please make an abuse filter preventing the use of Category:Created by me? Thanks! :)


 * Next time sign the comment :P And glad you just messaged me, I just got a message from Kirkburn saying he will be checking the issues on broken redirects... Plus he noticed a lot of errors on my script ;(


 * Created, added warning message and made one for dvd one :P 19:27, March 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Can we combine these category AFs into one and call it “Blocked categories”? Otherwise the number of AFs is going to grow and grow. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:33, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * We could, but the display message won't be specific ;( 09:00, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Done in Special:AbuseFilter/4, the other 3 are now disabled / marked as deleted :) 13:02, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * It all looks great! Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  04:47, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Special:AbuseFilter/7
Hey Kris! Would you please be able to adjust Special:AbuseFilter/7 to ignore the     namespace (i.e., ns:1)? Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  04:50, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Done my dear, want it disabled on ALL talk pages or just the article talk? 09:14, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Good point! Maybe it should be done in all talk namespaces. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  23:58, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Categories to be shielded from deletion bot
Hey Kris! Would you please ensure that your bot does not touch categories/templates in the following categories: This list is not, as yet, exhaustive and may therefore grow. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  23:57, March 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Category:Scratchpad administration
 * Category:Hidden categories
 * Category:Soft redirected categories
 * Template subpages where the template itself is not listed at UnusedTemplates. For example:
 * subpages of Template:Talkback
 * subpages of Template:New wiki
 * subpages of Template:Nav box
 * Template documentation pages, which are located as subpages at /doc


 * To fit in with the west midlands... Right you are me love 07:05, March 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Huh? — Spike  Toronto  05:31, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hgames wiki
Hey Kris! To date, all of the articles and images in the categories listed below have been copied over to w:c:hgames. Subsequently, all the pages in those categories have been off-wiki redirected to w:c:hgames. All that should be left to do with those four categories is to delete all of the images categorized to them.

To that end, would you please have your bot delete all of the images categorized to these categories? Be sure to check the bot’s work afterwards. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  06:51, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Category:IllusionGames
 * Category:@HomeMate
 * Category:Hako
 * Category:School Mate 1


 * Running now :) 18:49, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

VH wiki
Can you construct a bot that can copy images from one wiki to another? If so, would you please copy all of the images from the following categories over to w:c:hgames? Be sure to maintain the exact filenames and categories on the target wiki as here on the source wiki. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:01, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Category:TeatimeGames
 * Category:INTERHEARTGames
 * Category:KissGames
 * Category:T-GraphGames

P.S. Grunny has already developed a bot that does this. You might ask him for his source code. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:02, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * I prefer manual labour dear :) Will do it later
 * 22:20, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think you’ll find there are just too many images to do manually. Plus, I think Grunny’s routine copies the file history over too. Just ask him for it. Want me to? — Spike  Toronto  12:57, April 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I done an export, and sent the XML to staff to import on that wiki :) 19:03, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

User groups
Kris, can you please tell me what the   is for chatmods? I need to add it to w:c:admintools:MediaWiki:Common.js/UserGroupMessages.js, which is imported here. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:48, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * It is   :) Would add it to script myself but that's mediawiki namespace, can't edit :) 10:18, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅ with this edit. I’ll test it next time NZGuy’s around. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  13:02, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Category:RatiganRules
Hey Kris! Would you have one of your magical bots change every page categorized to Category:Ratiganrules to Category:RatiganRules instead? In other words, please replace each occurrence of Category:Ratiganrules with Category:RatiganRules. This should leave the former category empty while populating the latter.

Afterwards, rather than delete the category page Category:Ratiganrules, instead soft redirect it to the new category page, Category:RatiganRules, using "" Finally, would you please have your bot prepend the following atop each page being re-categorized " "Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  09:12, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Running :) 22:17, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Done 14:28, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
