Edit request MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js

Hi, would somebody with interface-admin rights to add function below to MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js (example diff). Function is for adding a method for removing already queued edits from queue. It would be used in Cat-a-lot.js.

abortPendingRequests: function() {
   apiRequestQueue = [];
},

--Zache (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

@Lucas Werkmeister and Mdaniels5757: this is just pushing edit request up. After the edit is complete, I will update User:Zache/cat-a-lot-edit-libAPI.js to use abortPendingRequests() instead of capturing $.ajax for aborting the edit queue. Another humble request: could the statement, Since the JS edit API module by MW is a joke..., be removed from the header of MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js as deprecated? (Example: diff) It may have been true in 2012, but now it feels like just unnecessary confrontation. --Zache (talk) 12:46, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Deletion request

Could someone delete the first version of the image please?--Trade (talk) 01:21, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

 Done.. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 02:43, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Campaign:wlpac-rs

Hi, I left a message on the Village pump/Technical page but I think only admin can create Campaign and MediaWiki pages. Please take a look at Village_pump/Technical#Campaign:wlpac-rs. Thanks for your help! MikyM (talk) 01:14, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Fair use file needs speedy deletion

Hi, can someone do the honours on this one, please. ASAP. Apologies for not noticing originally. Serial Number 54129 (talk) 15:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

 Done —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 15:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Matrix, and I apologise for the lazy error again. Serial Number 54129 (talk) 16:16, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Serial Number 54129: In the future, please do not report such things here. Instead, add {{speedydelete|reason for speedy deletion}} in beginning of file page. The file had been in Commons for more than year, so couple of hours more or less actually do not make big difference. Taivo (talk) 10:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Taivo  :) I was joking about not pleasing people! I wouldn't normally have posted it here, but HJM wanted it ready for his TFA, and of course, we weren't sure how long the deletion would take. Anyway, thanks for the message. Made me chuckle! cheers, Serial Number 54129 (talk) 10:00, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

requuest to overwrite File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-bjn.svg

Hello. I want to overwrite it. Because the logo didn't follow the logo guidelines. I also want to change the tagline and font. 미솔파 (talk) 10:00, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

You can always upload a new version of the logo with your changes. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 15:49, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I can't. It's protected. 미솔파 (talk) 17:02, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion, you can upload the edited version as a new file. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 20:21, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Hurricane Milton

Hi there, I protected File:Milton 2024 path.png earlier today as it's in use on the homepage of the English Wikipedia. There is now a newer version available at File:Milton 2024 track.png. Could some of you please watchlist that new file, and when that version gets updated, copy it across to the protected file so that the Wiki homepage is being kept up to date? Much appreciated.
