FerienBot2

Is this bot going to work regularly? Special:Contributions/FerienBot2 Kk.urban (talk) 16:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kk.urban: It will start running regularly soon, perhaps around daily, but I still need to set it up, I just haven't had the time recently/haven't been remembering when I do. It still might not end up making an edit all that often, as we don't get that many protections here. I also need to spend some time on it soon fixing the function to add protection templates that I messed up. --Ferien (talk) 16:45, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. I just thought that if it doesn't edit regularly, it may be better to add/remove the protection templates manually. However, I don't really know how Wikipedia bots work. Do you have to trigger it when you want it to run, or is it completely autonomous? Kk.urban (talk) 16:48, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have to trigger it when I want it to run then it will run automatically from then on every hour until the program closes. Sometime this week, I'm going to set it up to do it at least once a day when I'm online on my computer, without me having to trigger it. Eventually when I have a lot more time, I will get a Raspberry Pi to run it automatically so it will run even when I'm on holiday etc. --Ferien (talk) 21:57, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, applauding daily at a scheduled hour was a gesture of acclamation, recognition and gratitude towards health professionals in tribute to their work at the time. This habit emerged in January 2020 in Wuhan, where the pandemic originated, and then spread to several cities around the world during the quarantines and sanitary cordons ordered as preventive measures, Italy being the first one.

CheckuserChart

Ok, I've tried my best but I can not figure out how to add myself to the checkuserchart template and keep my previous time (which I know should show the current color even though it's referring to a prior stint because I'm once again a CU) and add my current time at a checkuser whilst leaving the middle empty. Do you have any idea how to do it? Or is it a Barras thing? fr33kman 07:01, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Fr33kman I have gone ahead and done that for you. Congratulations on your reappointment. -- EN-Jungwon 11:25, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

The block is no longer needed because I understand what I was blocked for, I will not do it again and I will make a good change instead.

@Md Sunnat Ali Mollik 37.111.196.87 (talk) 19:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are globally locked and cannot be unblocked here because of that. You need to appeal the global lock first. QuicoleJR (talk) 16:36, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QuicoleJR Please help me how to apply for global lock. 37.111.194.88 (talk) 16:44, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You can ask for them to remove the global lock by emailing stewards@wikimedia.org. QuicoleJR (talk) 16:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QuicoleJR Will reply if I email. 37.111.194.88 (talk) 16:59, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will not reply, but someone who can unlock your account will. If you get unlocked, you can then try to get the block on this wiki removed by Ferien or another admin. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think this user might be part of the same sockfarm that tried to frame Dotdotcomma? AFAIK it's a similar editing pattern. LilianaUwU (talk / changes) 21:25, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LilianaUwU, I'm not sure, I'm actually not too familiar with that one, apologies. --Ferien (talk) 21:31, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please be bold and help translate this article!

Plant blindness is an informally-proposed form of cognitive bias, which in its broadest meaning, is a human tendency to ignore plant species. This includes such phenomena as not noticing plants in the surrounding environment, not recognizing the importance of plant life to the whole biosphere and to human affairs, a philosophical view of plants as an inferior form of life to animals and/or the inability to appreciate the unique features or aesthetics of plants. Related terms include plant‐neglect, zoo-centrism, and zoo‐chauvinism.
