Cannot use MediaWiki:Gadget-PatrollingEnhancements.js

It returns an error saying "missingparam: One of the parameters rcid, revid is required". --kc_kennylau (talk) 11:44, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

It still works for me, so I'll need some more information from you in order to try to identify the cause. For example:

• What page(s) do you see this error at?
• Do you see the error as soon as you load the page, or does it happen when you click on an 'M' button, or . . .?
• Does this error happen 100% of the time? If not, then, have you noticed any patterns in when it does or does not happen? Does reloading the page ever fix it?
• Were you previously using this Gadget fine, and only started encountering this problem recently? Or did you only recently try this Gadget, and had this problem immediately?
• What browser and operating system are you using?

P.S. To the other folks reading this: have you seen this issue at all? —Ruakh 06:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

I see this error on Special:NewPages.

It happens when I click on an 'M' button.

This error happens 100% of the time.

I recently tried this Gadget and had this problem immediately.

I am using Firefox and Windows 7 Enterprise.

Thanks in advance. --kc_kennylau (talk) 13:34, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

OK, I think I see what's going on. There are two issues:

• At Special:NewPages, the gadget retrieves the rcids for the 500 newest unpatrolled new pages (excluding logged-in edits and/or redirects, as appropriate), which should work fine (aside from minor race conditions) if you're at the main Special:NewPages page, but not if you've clicked on the 'older' or 'oldest' links.
• When the gadget sees an unpatrolled new-page link, it doesn't make sure that it has the rcid before creating the button; so it will always create the button, but some buttons won't work due to the first issue.

Can you confirm that you only see this issue when you click on the 'older' or 'oldest' links, not when you're viewing the most recent unpatrolled new pages?

Should be fixed now; could you give it a try? —Ruakh 08:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much. You are right that it does not work in oldest, but I had not checked newest. --kc_kennylau (talk) 10:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

A peculiar minor blind spot

See this edit where Rukhabot moves a malformed interwiki link rather than fixing or removing it. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:23, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

I think what's going on is that the malformed interwiki link was not recognized as an interwiki link, but rather as content. I think Rukhabot did exactly what it should have done. --WikiTiki89 02:33, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Indeed. —Ruakh 05:23, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Rukhabot and gershayim

On Hebrew Wiktionary they usually use dumb quotes instead of U+05F3 and U+05F4 so Rukhabot removed interwiki links with these, diff and diff. —Enosh (talk) 18:16, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

That's correct. This has been discussed many times. If you want interwiki links to exist, there would have to be redirects from the gershayim forms to the dumb quote forms on he.wikt. --WikiTiki89 18:42, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Or better yet, he.wikt could use the proper geresh and gershayim (with redirects from the apostrophe and double-quote). —Ruakh 00:02, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

But we use straight quotes as redirects. I see (in those two entries) that Rukhabot installs interwikis from our redirect pages to hewikt; does any bot install them from hewikt to our redirect pages?​—msh210℠ (talk) 17:31, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
