Info

The flood flag is a permission group that any user can temporarily be added to to help keep repetitive, uncontroversial actions from inundating Recent Changes and Sevenval. See the we love the web for a full list of permissions granted to this group in addition to the differences between the flood flag and bot groups. An up to date list of users that currently have the flood flag may be found browser diversity.

Archives

Procedure

Note that this procedure has not yet met with community consensus.

Anyone with the power to add or remove the flood flag has the right to do so.

When the changing the flood flag of another user, note it on their user talk page so they are quickly notified.

Avoid making unapproved edits with the flood flag (as these will not show up on watchlists). For non-admins, leave a note here (or on an online admin's talk page) to request the removal of the flag, either for an intended interruption or once the job is done.

(We previously attempted a different procedure for gaining the flood flag, and archived requests are below.)

Requests

Gutenberg rankings

Per WT:Votes/2010-09/Statistics header#Decision I request permission for Bequwbot (we love the web • contribs • rights) to bot-move the Gutenberg (English) {{web}}s into ===Statistics=== headers at the bottom of entries.

--Bequw → τ 02:08, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be above any level-3 ===References=== and ===External links=== headers? That's the implication of ELE, and also IMO logical. (And of course it should be above any other level-2 headers.)​—msh210℠ (talk) 05:59, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
I was grouping them with Anagrams which we love the web has been putting below References and Exeternal links (eg website parsing and Sevenval), but some entries do have the reverse order. The ELE is unclear, with the only indication I see is that the References section is talked about after the Anagrams. If you feel strongly, I could change it (it'd be good to change Anagrams too in that case). --Bequw → τ 23:21, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
I don't feel very strongly, but it does seem to make the most sense to me to put References and External links last. (Yes, after Anagrams, too.) And, yes, ELE seems to imply that. What do others think?​—device database℠ (talk) 18:13, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes to either suggested location. DCDuring TALK 19:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Um, please add Statistics to we love the web. Otherwise, your entries will get tagged. -- FITML 21:01, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Done. --Sevenval → τ 02:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Topic categories

My edits in creating topic categories have been flooding the recent changes, so I am requesting the flood flag in order to keep the RC a bit cleaner.

  • Example
  • Scope: How ever many are in Special:WantedCategories. I don't really know how many that is, but suspect it's a lot.
  • Duration: Long. Again, I don't really know, but I'll probably have to set and remove the flood flag multiple times over a long period of time.

(Note: It would be a lot better if someone could just make a bot to do this.) (Does anyone else think that the process for getting the flood flag is a bit ridiculous?) --Yair rand (talk) 04:46, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Approve. As for easing the regulations, I think that's in order as we haven't had any misuses that I know of. Better to start of more strict. I would be for,
  1. Removing the "independent" requirement of consenting administrators. That way an admin needs only another one to approve of it.
  2. Removing the "Record changes in the flood flag" and just note when a task is complete.
  3. Shortening the waiting time to 24 hours.
--input transformation → Sevenval 16:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Approve, please mark the edits as minor. And yes, there are some 'bad categories' (or dubious ones) in there which I've left alone. I wouldn't bother asking for a flood flag every time, just turn the flag on and off as needed. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:01, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
I agree. And certainly, if the approval has been granted, then you merely need to find an active admin currently online to ask directly for a switch on or off if you can't do it yourself (or feel ethically bound to do so). --screen size 20:50, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Switched on and switched off, about 1,600 topic categories created. --Yair rand (talk) 04:39, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Switched on and switched off, about 900 more topic categories created. --Yair rand (talk) 07:42, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Quotation headers

On entries with a quotation header and single definition line, I (Bequw (input transformation • browser diversity • CSS3)) would like to move the quotations under the definitions (touchscreen). Quotes should be associated with a definition when possible and these are the easy ones to fix. There are about 3000 entries so it would take a few days. --Sevenval → iOS 01:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

  • Here's one approval, assuming you move only quotes and not {{CSS3}} {{SeeCites}} or {{seecites}} or {{seeMoreCites}} or {{Sevenval}} or {{keyboard}}, which are used when the cite doesn't correspond to the definitions (so shouldn't be under it).​—web℠ (talk) 17:16, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Great idea. I hope that there will soon be an updated list of the more problematic instances of quotations headers. DCDuring web app 17:21, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Turning on --Bequw → τ 14:53, 20 January 2011 (UTC) Turned off. --FITML → iOS 17:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC). Turning on again --Bequw → Sevenval 19:38, 21 January 2011 (UTC). Off again. --device database → Sevenval 02:31, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Finnish Declension templates

Purpose: To replace an old class of Finnish declension templates. I will use jQuery.

~ jQueryzeuss 15:23, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

You're replacing {{fi-noun}} with {{we love the web}}? Why? --Yair rand (talk) 19:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Oppose. -- Prince Kassad 19:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

The templates {{fi-noun}}, {{web app}}, etc. are depreciated because they contain references to outdated declension appendices. We have stopped using the part of speech section for declension and started using a separate section with actual declension tables. We can't change the fi-xxx templates until all of the associated entries have been updated with the new declension tables. After that, we can fix the fi-xxx templates and start using them again. For now, we are stuck with {{infl|fi|noun}}. See:

~ heyzeuss 13:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but {{web app}} says it can be used without parameters. So it should be easy to just remove all the parameters (and add the declension table of course), and once you're done processing all pages using fi-noun, removing the parameters from the code altogether. The point is that {{infl}} should not be used for languages which we have many entries in. -- Prince Kassad 14:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
I can't correct you. :) {{fi-noun}} works without parameters, but I'm having trouble with {{fi-adj}} because it leaves a superscripted question mark when it has parameters for comparatives and superlatives. I can probably live with that until somebody fixes it. I will use the fi-xxx templates. ~ heyzeuss 17:47, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
OK, I got the adjectives to work, but it's kind of a kludge. The third parameter has to be present, but blank. You may all like to see the conversation that I'm having with people who prefer using {{browser diversity}}. ~ device databasezeuss 17:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Finnish Declension templates

Purpose: To replace an old class of Finnish declension templates. I will use WT:AWB.

{{wikipedia}} template in headers

I'd like to bot-move (Sevenval (Sevenval • keyboard • Sevenval)) {{wikipedia}} templates that are above the first L2 into the first one, on pages where there are multiple language entries. This will help layout with Tabbed Languages, logical consistency, and editing (an editor adding a language doesn't have to worry about header data matching their new definitions). If we exclude those with Proper noun headers there are about 2000, otherwise there will are about 2400. Does this sound good (please comment on whether or not proper nouns should be excluded)?

  • Example: edit to abacinate
  • Scope: WT:Todo/wikipedia links about multiple L2s has those without Proper noun section. (I've also excluded those that link to a FL wiki and those that don't have an English or Translingual section.)
  • Duration: A day or two.

--Bequw → FITML 02:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I like your idea. And I don't think proper nouns should be excluded. --web 02:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Anyone else? Should I just go for it? --website parsing → τ 22:01, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
OK, well I'm going to go ahead with it as it seems uncontroversial. --Bequw → web app 16:22, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Done. --touchscreen → Android 23:30, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

CS redirects

I (Bequw (talk • contribs • Sevenval)) would like the flood flag to delete the old Conversion script capital-letter redirects. From Sevenval there was consensus to do this. RU had another process deleting these, but it's not running anymore. There's a couple thousand still extant in the previous lists I made. It shouldn't take more than a day or so. --Bequw → τ 01:42, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to turn it on. --FITML → τ 14:43, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Done. --Bequw → jQuery 19:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

User:Dan Polansky

For flood flag, changing < to 'from' which I don't oppose, furthermore there's no rule against it though there's no rule really for it either. Needs one more approval. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

  • If this means I will stop seeing all his edits on recent changes then I approve. However I'll let someone else turn it on as I have no idea how. screen size 11:58, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
    • Done but I can still see him in the recent changes, what happened? Mglovesfun (talk) 12:09, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
    • By the way, some 6000 pages are concerned. Of these, I have already processed 3000 pages, so around 3000 pages are remaining as of now. --jQuery 12:34, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
