Feature request: monthly totals

Latest comment: 6 years ago11 comments2 people in discussion

Hey @Pppery, great work creating this module.

I have a feature request: monthly totals.

It looks like it would be a small extra bit of coding, and it would be very handy to have e.g. at WP:Categories for discussion/Working#Discussions_awaiting_closure a quick summary of the form:

January 2019: 14
February 2019: 589,704
March 2019: 26

Even better, if there was a "totals only" parameter, then it could be wrapped in a template to make a wee indicator box for editors and admins to display on their userpages, just as many people display article alerts, WP:CENT etc. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:48, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

PS Even better: if there was a "month" parameter to tally just one month (e.g. "month=201901"), then we could build a combined totals indicator templates for all XFDs which the module support, with a column for the current month and each of the previous three months. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:59, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@BrownHairedGirl: Is Script error: The function "bymonth" does not exist. what you're looking for? {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:33, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Brilliant, @Pppery.

That's my first request sorted in double-quick time. Thanks.

Would I be pushing my luck to ask if the "month=" param is doable without too much grief? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:38, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm currently in the process of coding this. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:41, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@BrownHairedGirl: Done. Ex: {{#invoke:XfD old/sandbox|onemonth|month=March 2019|title=Wikipedia:Categories for discussion}} -> 0 {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:50, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Brilliant, @Pppery. Please can it go live? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:54, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Done. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:56, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wonderful, @Pppery!

Are there any plans to support MfD and AFD? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@BrownHairedGirl: You should probably template-protect Module:XfD old; the template being protected but not the module is causing the template to be part of a a tracking category I created. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:43, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Pppery: Good idea. Done[1]. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:48, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

MfD and AfD

Latest comment: 6 years ago6 comments2 people in discussion

@BrownHairedGirl: The way the module is currently coded is incompatible with XfD forums that use subpages, so no. It could be theoretically expanded to support FfD and/or RfD if AnomieBOT were updated to create the necessary /Old unclosed discussions pages. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:25, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@BrownHairedGirl: I've changed my mind about this, and added the monthly backlog functionality for AfD and MfD in a separate module that shares no code with this one. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 20:31, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Pppery: I don't seem to be feeding it the right params. Pls can you show me a query or two? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:48, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@BrownHairedGirl: {{#invoke:Sandbox/pppery/XfD old subpage|mfd|month=February 2019}} -> Script error: No such module "Sandbox/pppery/XfD old subpage".. The same syntax works for AfD (use afd instead of mfd), but it would always produce zero right now since there are literally zero AfDs awaiting closure. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 20:52, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Pppery, I have tested this at Template:XFD backlog/sandbox.

Does this look OK? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:02, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 21:03, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
