Hello!! I am Cyberpower678. I am an administrator on Wikipedia. Despite that, I'm still your run of the mill user here on Wikipedia.
I specialize in bot work and tools, but I lurk around RfPP, AfD, AIV, and AN/I, as well as RfA. If you have any questions in those areas, please feel free to ask. :-)
For InternetArchiveBot matters specifically, please see meta:InternetArchiveBot/Problem for common issues or meta:User talk:InternetArchiveBot to leave a message
I also serve as a mailing list moderator and account creator over at the Account Creation Center. If you have any questions regarding an account I created for you, or the process itself, feel free to email the WP:ACC team or me personally.

Fixing statusChanger.js

Hey buddy. I fixed the two problems I could find with statusChanger by making these edits. Please test it out and let me know if you find any issues. Feel free to copy it to your userspace. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here, I'll throw in some linter error fixes too :) Diff. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:21, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of the DiscussionTools devs I talked to at the hackathon says the "The reply link cannot be used to reply to this comment" message is because the [reply] button is basically inside a template. This can't be done for some reason. I think the fix would be to either subst User:Cyberpower678/Layout and similar templates, or have these templates close all their HTML tags. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:19, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You've seen my user space complexity, so sadly, substing is out. :p Also closing out the HTML tags breaks the border feature of my user space. So I guess I'm stuck with responding in the traditional sense. Thanks for checking on this for me. Maybe they'll find a solution at some point. :-)—CYBERPOWER (Around) 07:18, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Novem Linguae: Thanks for your help at Wikimedia. You were a great help.—CYBERPOWER (Message) 05:43, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. Thanks for letting me try your VR headset! –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:38, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for assistance with a troublesome template

I spoke to you at Wikimania 2024 about my issue with a Military History Project template. The situation is this:

One of our maintenance categories, Category:Military history articles with no associated task force, is cluttered with pages from the Draft namespace. I only want task forces to be associated with articles ie pages in the Talk namespace.
All I need is a way to detect the draft namespace.
What I tried to do is modify our Template:WikiProject Military history/sandbox (The template is widely used so I did not want to mess it up) with this change.
The idea was that {{Namespace detect|talk=|other=yes}} would produce "yes" on a page other than a talk page. That would cause the category to not be added.
However, the template did not work the way I expected: {{Namespace detect|talk=yes|other=no}} produces "yes" on this user talk page when I expected that it would produce "no".
I tried {{Namespace detect|draft=yes|other=no}} but on a draft talk page this produces "no".

Any advice or assistance you can render would be greatly appreciated. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:36, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
