Hi Sherurcij.Thanks for the welcome, good to see a wikinewsie I know arround . This is mostly a place holder account so that no one takes my name and goes on a vandalism spree. Happy editing. Bawolff 03:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Beware, on Wikisource, Public Domain rules with an iron fist ;) Sherurcij ^{Collaboration of the Week: Author:William Gordon Stables} 03:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Well at least its only PD. Compare with the copyright situation of Commons. Now that is complicated. Bawolff 04:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Patrolling failure

Are you utilising the gadget [ Inserts AJAX (patrol) link on recent changes. ] which allows to patrol and then advance? The link at the bottom works, however, is not a productive means to patrol multiple edits. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:05, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

No I was using the standard interface (the links near the top of the diff). Since the bug said both were broken. I could try the other way. Bawolff (talk) 11:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

At the time of the report those were the issues identified. Thanks for the immediate fix, and I will see if the original author is able to update the scripts to utilise the API. Well beyond my knowledge base. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to be a bother, however, since the 1.17 update, the gadget is again hosed :-( and this time the javascript fails completely. Last time User talk:Billinghurst#patrol script., if you had a chance to suggest a fix for MediaWiki:Gadget-LinkPatroller.js that would be appreciated. I talked to Splarka and he wasn't particularly interested in converting to use the api. Seems like a case of "been there, done that" <shrug> which is obviously fair enough. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:47, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Krinkle made a script that does essentially the same thing as Sparkla's but uses the api - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Krinkle/Scripts/AjaxPatrolLinks . Let me know if that fulfills your needs. Bawolff (talk) 21:46, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. It works via my skin, and one of the features of the current script (staying on the page) I have address on Krinkle's tools page. Thanks for your help. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:44, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Getting you better access around here

Gday. You do pay attention to our bugzilla needs, and it seems weird that we are making you jump hoops. I am told that developer status is now gone, so we would either need to get you admin rights here at enWS and at multi language WS, or you need to have interface editor rights. I know nothing about the latter, though would support that, if you can tell me who/where/what to support, I am there! Lacking that, John Vandenberg, for mulWS, and me, for enWS, would like to get you through hoops to allow you local access. Thoughts? I am not asking so that I can hassle you more (promise!), just so that when we do have issues in bugzilla, then you don't have to come asking or negotiating. Thanks.

I'm honoured you'd consider giving me these rights. To be honest, I probably don't need them, its actually quite rare that a bug in bugzilla requires local intervention on a project. OTOH, I wouldn't necessarily object to being given such rights, just not sure I'd actually use them. Bawolff (talk) 06:01, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

p.s. For editinterface rights. In order to assign rights to someone they have to be part of a group (A group contains one or more rights.) So in order to give me just editinterface rights, that'd require making a group containing the editinterface right. Making new groups requires dev intervention, so its really not worth the effort just for me. Bawolff (talk) 06:01, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
