Speedy deletion request

Given the current state of Category:Candidates for speedy deletion (as discussed in the above discussion), could I request that Dolichopus maculicornis be deleted? I created it by mistake thinking I was creating the page for Dolichopus maculipennis. (I'll probably create D. maculicornis's page from scratch at a later point) Monster Iestyn (talk) 16:51, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Module:Documentation - error

Hello, as at {{BHL page}}, there is an error message displaying in relation to Module:Documentation; I don't speak Lua and line 144 appears unchanged; thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 18:25, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 Done As always, let me know if there are problems. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:00, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

{{BHL page}} is still showing an error message; apparently the issue is that Module:Documentation/config hasn't also been updated, the only thing is that it looks like the latest wikispecies version is later than the latest enwiki version (:en:Module:Documentation/config); apparently "This has resulted in several necessary config fields being missing, among them cfg.container" - if you search for "container", it's in the 25 January 2022 version, but not in the latest wikispecies version; thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:14, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

"No revisions imported (all were either already present, or skipped due to errors)." This is why I hate importing and I usually refuse. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:23, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

According to enwiki Module:Documentation, "This module displays a blue box containing documentation for templates, Lua modules, or other pages." As its use (here) appears to be limited to template documentation pages, which aren't displaying properly, I propose to paste in the lines re cfg.container; can always be reverted, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 08:45, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

I do not have permission to edit Module:Documentation/config; please can someone who has permission try, thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 15:46, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Please write very explicitly exactly what you want done and I'll do it. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:23, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

I was going to add lines 344 to 347 from :en:Module:Documentation/config to Module:Documentation/config, in particular "cfg['container'] = 'documentation-container'". However, on the assumption that :en:Module:Documentation and :en:Module:Documentation/config go together, please could you simply import the latest enwiki :en:Module:Documentation/config. Thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 21:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

 Done. No changes made. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:36, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks (but...), I think that may have been Module:Documentation/config/doc rather than Module:Documentation/config? Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 23:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

 Done Again, no changes. I imported "Module:Documentation/config" (copied and pasted from your above message) from en.wp and chose "Copy all the revisions for this page", "Include all templates and transcluded pages", and "Assign edits to local users where the named user exists locally". "Module:Documentation/config No revisions imported (all were either already present, or skipped due to errors)." —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

That's strange, because there are several differences between en:Module:Documentation/config (17,433 bytes) and Module:Documentation/config (17,778 bytes), which was imported from Wikidata (d:Module:Documentation/config, 17,778 bytes). Maybe no revisions were imported because of errors ("or skipped due to errors")?

As a possible solution, I would suggest to import (or simply copy?) meta:Template:Documentation (a simpler version) to Template:Documentation; after that, you may be able to import en:Module:Documentation/config to Module:Documentation/config (if that's not the case, then you could simply copy-paste the code from enwiki to WS). I'm not sure why the code in Template:Documentation is causing errors... Korg (talk) 03:07, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

 Done Imported from m:Template:Documentation: "Template:Documentation 41 revisions, etc." Then imported from w:en:Module:Documentation/config: "No revisions imported (all were either already present, or skipped due to errors)." This is why I hate importing. If you want to copy/paste from en.wp, just make sure you give attribution in the edit summary. A simple "from

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Documentation/config" is sufficient. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:17, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I can't edit Template:Documentation or Module:Documentation/config, because they are transcluded in Template:ISBN and Template:URL to diff, which are protected with the "cascading" option turned on. Perhaps cascading protection should be removed, or these pages could be semi-protected instead? Thanks again, Korg (talk) 03:47, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

 Done Copied: https://species.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Documentation/config&diff=prev&oldid=9336108. Please let me know if anything else is needed. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:59, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

The error message has gone, but the display of {{Template:BHL}} is not quite so colourful and pretty as it once was... I'm sure we can live with that, thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 08:06, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────┘ The CSS pages Module:Documentation/styles.css and en:Module:Documentation/styles.css differ. Could en:Module:Documentation/styles.css be imported, please? Additionally, could the protection level of Template:ISBN and Template:URL to diff be reduced (so that the CSS page and related pages can be edited)? Thanks, Korg (talk) 10:23, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

@Korg: The protection levels have now been reduced (temporarily, for one week). As for importing the ENWP styles.css file, are you sure that the .ts-doc-header and .ts-doc-content etc. CSS classes in the present Wikispecies version of the styles.css file aren't necessary to maintain compatibility? (They aren't included in the ENWP version, hence would be removed from our version if the ENWP file is imported.) –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 17:14, 8 September 2023 (UTC).

Thank you for reducing the protection levels! The present version of Module:Documentation/styles.css (1,516 bytes) is based on the file on Meta m:Module:Documentation/styles.css (1,516 bytes), where the CSS classes (or class selectors, e.g. .ts-doc-header) have been defined in m:Module:Documentation/config (e.g. cfg['header-div-class'] = 'ts-doc-header'). But they are no longer in Module:Documentation/config, with this change. (The different pages had been imported from various sources, but now they would all come from enwp.) There wouldn't be compatibility issues, I did some tests and it works (see Template:Documentation/sandbox). Korg (talk) 20:16, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

@Korg: For some reason I wasn't able to import the enWP version, instead I got an error message. As an alternative I entered the code manually – that also makes it easy to revert, should we need to. The Wikispecies version Module:Documentation/styles.css and English Wikipedia version en:Module:Documentation/styles.css should now be identical. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 13:33, 9 September 2023 (UTC).

Thank you! The documentation is now properly displayed. The error message you got is probably related to the error present in Module:Documentation, I'll look into it later. Korg (talk) 14:22, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Hey there is a request for translation admin we all seem to have missed. Wikispecies:Translation administrators#Requests for translation adminship. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 05:00, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, Scott! The request has now been approved. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 11:49, 29 August 2023 (UTC).

Import en:Template:FULLBASEPAGENAME

Hello, there is a link to Template:FULLBASEPAGENAME in Template:Module rating. Please import the page en:Template:FULLBASEPAGENAME. Thank you, Korg (talk) 10:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

@Korg: Done. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:04, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! Korg (talk) 10:35, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
