Revdel-responder
[edit]Hi, just recently I'm getting occasional errors with revdel.responder.js where it fails to parse the page content. When I look at the console this is the error I see reported. It's not happening all the time just on some articles. Nthep (talk) 16:03, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry I didn't reply to this. I haven't been able to reproduce this issue, even on the page/revision in your screenshot. If it's still happening, let me know. — The Earwig (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Any chance you could tweak this script so that the copyvios report automatically linked next to the URL is a comparison of that URL to the first revision in the range, rather than to the current page? It would really speed things up. -- asilvering (talk) 03:55, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi asilvering, revdel-responder's "Compare" button should already do that? Or are you interested in the link working when there are multiple URLs? This will need to be fixed in {{Copyvio-revdel}} directly. — The Earwig (talk) 04:10, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't. Take American Basketball Association, for example. The copyvio comparison link next to the URL takes me to [1]. But the link I actually want is [2]. -- asilvering (talk) 04:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- asilvering, the revdel-responder script adds a "Compare" button as seen in this screenshot. Clicking on that brings me to [3] which I believe is the correct link. The link next to the URL is part of the template, not the script. Someone can fix that too, I'm just trying to confirm I understand your request. — The Earwig (talk) 05:44, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- oh lol, I'm an idiot. Don't mind me. -- asilvering (talk) 17:47, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
