Feedback on user script chatbot

I wrote a user script called WikiChatbot to assist editors. It can summarize, reformulate, copyedit, and provide suggestions on additional topics, images, and wikilinks as well as assess factual accuracy and bias. It is used by selecting text in an article and then clicking one of the buttons on the right to enquire about the selected text. The chatbot can also be used by typing specific questions about the selected text or the topic in general in the chat panel.
The script uses the AI model GPT 3.5. It requires an API key from OpenAI. New OpenAI accounts can use it freely for the first 3 months with certain limitations. The AI model was not designed to assess or improve encyclopedic articles. Editors should always question its responses and rely on their own judgment and reliable sources instead. For a more detailed description of all these issues and examples of how the script can be used, see the documentation at User:Phlsph7/WikiChatbot.
I was hoping to get some feedback on the script in general and how it may be improved. I'm not sure how difficult it is to follow the instructions so it would be great if someone could try to set up the script, use it, and explain which steps were confusing. My OpenAI account is already older than 3 months so I was not able to verify the claims about the free period and how severe the limitations are. If someone has a younger account or is willing to open a new account to try it, that would be helpful. Other feedback on the idea in general, its problems, new features to implement, or the documentation is also welcome. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:45, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Phlsph7: You may want to ask for feedback at WP:VPM because I'm afraid this page isn't very heavily watched. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 08:00, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I followed your suggestions, see Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Feedback_on_user_script_chatbot. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:08, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
byte filter on contributions page
I found this from 2008 while searching for a script for this: Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests/Archive 2#Watchlist filter for + and - bytes ?
Is there a script to make same thing on Special:Contributions page? Tehonk (talk) 10:03, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Tehonk Never felt the need to do/have something like that, but one could use pl:User:Nux/LongTableFilters.js as a base for that.
- The `prepareTable` would need to be changed (especially `itemProperty` and selector in `init`).
- `itemToText` is overcomplicated there. It could simply return number of edits there.
- I guess I should publish ViewFilter to npm... Somedaytm ;). Nux (talk) 11:01, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
