I am currently making a abuse filter search. This should help us and all other projects to better maintains abuse filters and find deprecated variables etc. The search allows you to search in local filters and also global (use optional sitematrix for all active projects) or foreign projects. Since we also have global filters in Metawiki and crosswiki, the projects meet. I suggest add the script as a gadget. What do you think I should add the script as a gadget?

If the script doesn‘t exist yet, we can‘t really decide on „upgrading“ it to a gadget. TenWhile6 17:52, 24 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@TenWhile6 The Script is already on gitlab: [1]. See Screenshot. PS: The script is in English and German + Machinetranslations (French and Spanish). The search has many search functions and a export. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 18:17, 24 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I have used https://search-filters.toolforge.org/ in the past, although I'm not sure if the tool still works given recent updates to AbuseFilters like protected variables @Martin Urbanec? Johannnes89 (talk) 18:18, 24 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

The tool is limited to a few users and shows rather little information, code from private filters does not work with it. My script has the advantage that it uses the API directly in the browser, so you have no oauth restrictions and can also search private filter code (which was also the main reason for my work) and can search everything. the script also immediately displays short code and more information.

@Johannnes89 Is that for GAFH/AFM-only? – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 12:29, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I think you can also use it without those permissions, but obviously only search filters your account can access. Johannnes89 (talk) 16:16, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Johannnes89 search-filters.toolforge.org can only used by users with global permissions. The toolforge tool from Martin check "globaluserinfo" per api. (See here). All other user become only see "permission_denied.html" 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 16:44, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Johannnes89 The tool should still work, although I need to double check it still has access to IP-provided private filters. I'll double check and let you know. Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:10, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Before considering making a gadget, making a user script is usually the first step. When that is done let's take a look, especially if this is going to be opt-in. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:27, 24 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@WikiBayer Does this script return results that include private filters on the wiki where I have permission to view and edit them? – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 12:36, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Hide on Rosé Yes you can see and search in all filters and it even shows whether the filter is public or private. See for example the Screenshot on Commons ("Öffentlich" is german public). For obvious reasons, I have not included a screenshot of a pirvate filter, but this looks exactly the same except that it says "Private" instead of "Public".

I noticed some bugs about this script:

• Every time I use it, it logs me out every time.
• When on "Edit" or "View history", the script loads on these pages where it should not load. It should only load on "Read".
• Can its appearance be changed for dark mode? It has poor contrast.

@Codename Noreste""Edit" or "View histor" the Script overide fill page. The Page as no content. Why need you edit this page? The Darkmode is not supported.

"Every time I use it, it logs me out every time."

I can't understand it. I had tested the script and don't know what could trigger it. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 09:54, 26 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@WikiBayer I assume what CN meant is that there's no need to load the script when page action == "edit/history". – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 09:06, 27 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Yelouassi Vous pouvez me dire quel événement vous comptez organiser ? – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 11:00, 6 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Je compte organiser un évènement d'introduction à wikipédia pour certains étudiants dans un laboratoire de chimie à l'Université d'Abomey-Calavi où j' interviens. A travers cet atelier ils auront à découvrir l'encyclopédie libre, Wikipedia et comment contribuerur wikipédia et ses projets frères afin de s'en approprier pour une meilleure utilisation.

J' ai pris déja des attaches pour la réalisation de cet atelier et les étudiants sont très enthousiastes pour participer à cet événement. Yelouassi (talk) 14:18, 6 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
