RE: Admin statistics on StrategyWiki

Here's the code:

Code
addOnloadHook(test);

function test() {
  var admin = 'Snowolf';
  var dateStart = '2008-01-01T00:00:01Z';
  var dateEnd = '2008-12-31T23:59:59Z';
  var next = dateStart;
  var counter = 0;
  var stopCounter = 0;
  var rowCode = '| '+admin+' || ';

// PATROLS
  while (next != 'stop') {
    queryApi('action=query&list=logevents&letype=patrol&lelimit=max&leuser='+admin+'&lestart='+next+'&leend='+dateEnd+'&ledir=newer', function (leResponse) {
      for (var item in leResponse.query.logevents) {
        if(leResponse.query.logevents[item].patrol.auto == 0) {
          counter++;
        };
      };

      if (leResponse["query-continue"]) {
        next = leResponse["query-continue"].logevents.lestart;
      } else {
        next = 'stop';
      };

    });
  };
  rowCode += counter+' || ';
  counter = 0;

// PROTECTS
  next = dateStart;
  while (next != 'stop') {
    queryApi('action=query&list=logevents&letype=protect&lelimit=max&leuser='+admin+'&lestart='+next+'&leend='+dateEnd+'&ledir=newer', function (leResponse) {
      counter += leResponse.query.logevents.length;

      if (leResponse["query-continue"]) {
        next = leResponse["query-continue"].logevents.lestart;
      } else {
        next = 'stop';
      };

    });
  };
  rowCode += counter+' || ';
  counter = 0;

// DELETES
  next = dateStart;
  while (next != 'stop') {
    queryApi('action=query&list=logevents&letype=delete&lelimit=max&leuser='+admin+'&lestart='+next+'&leend='+dateEnd+'&ledir=newer', function (leResponse) {
      for (var item in leResponse.query.logevents) {
        if(leResponse.query.logevents[item].action == 'delete') {
          counter++;
        };
      };

      if (leResponse["query-continue"]) {
        next = leResponse["query-continue"].logevents.lestart;
      } else {
        next = 'stop';
      };

    });
  };
  rowCode += counter+' || ';
  counter = 0;

// HIDES
  next = dateStart;
  while (next != 'stop') {
    queryApi('action=query&list=logevents&letype=delete&lelimit=max&leuser='+admin+'&lestart='+next+'&leend='+dateEnd+'&ledir=newer', function (leResponse) {
      for (var item in leResponse.query.logevents) {
        if(leResponse.query.logevents[item].action == 'event' || leResponse.query.logevents[item].action == 'revision') {
          counter++;
        };
      };

      if (leResponse["query-continue"]) {
        next = leResponse["query-continue"].logevents.lestart;
      } else {
        next = 'stop';
      };

    });
  };
  rowCode += counter+' || ';
  counter = 0;

// BLOCKS
  next = dateStart;
  while (next != 'stop') {
    queryApi('action=query&list=logevents&letype=block&lelimit=max&leuser='+admin+'&lestart='+next+'&leend='+dateEnd+'&ledir=newer', function (leResponse) {
      for (var item in leResponse.query.logevents) {
        if(leResponse.query.logevents[item].action == 'block') {
          counter++;
        };
      };

      if (leResponse["query-continue"]) {
        next = leResponse["query-continue"].logevents.lestart;
      } else {
        next = 'stop';
      };

    });
  };
  rowCode += counter;
  
  alert(rowCode);
};

function queryApi(query, callback) {
  try {
    var xmlRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } catch(e) {
    try {
      var xmlRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    } catch(e) {
      try {
      var xmlRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
      } catch(e) {
        throw "Could not create an XmlHttpRequest";
        }
      }
    }

  xmlRequest.open('POST', wgScriptPath+'/api.php', false);
  xmlRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  xmlRequest.send(query+'&format=json');
  var xmlResponse = new Function("return "+xmlRequest.responseText)();
  if (!xmlResponse) {
    alert('Problem retrieving information');
  } else {
    callback(xmlResponse);
  };
};

and you can get a list of the administrators here by replacing the &aufrom= argument in the URL with the query-continue admin at the bottom of the results, i.e. Gadget850 in the first results.

This script is pretty rough, since I made it as a one-off before we had jQuery and I only use once a year. It can be modified in a variety of ways to make it easier to use, so let me know. The way I use it is to edit a non-existent page like User:Snowolf/test.js then put the admin's username you want to see in the admin variable and hit "Show preview". I'm not sure what level of familiarity you have with JavaScript, so just to be thorough, that means you'd replace your username in the fourth line with the name of the admin between the single quotes. As it is, you're not meant to actually save the .js page. The script returns a wikitext table row in an alert for copy-pasting somewhere.

If you just want to see your own stats, this method is doable—we only have a few administrators on StrategyWiki so I don't mind doing it by hand. If you wanted to see every administrator, or a big list, I could probably do that. Let me know if you have any problems with it (my talk here on Wikipedia is fine), although I'm not an admin, so I can't run the script myself to troubleshoot. Cheers, — Bility (talk) 04:08, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I forgot to mention also that you have to change the years in the timestamps on the two lines below the admin variable to whichever year you want to run it for. In case you didn't just want to see 2008's stats. Bility (talk) 04:20, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

question re someone nominated for adminship

Hi, I left a message on this user's talkpage and saw your intention to nominate him/her for adminship. Is there anywhere where I could suggest imho that this step might be a bit early as yet? Thanks Manytexts (talk) 06:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, okay, thanks for reply re date -- still too early imho  ;) Manytexts (talk) 23:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Hubert Sumlin confirmation

https://www.facebook.com/pages/BMA-tours/197898765542

BMA tours It is with deep and profound sadness we confirm the passing of the Legendary Blues Guitarist Hubert Sumlin. Hubert died this morning, December 4, 2012 in Wayne, NJ at St. Joseph's Hospital of heart failure. Hubert was the kindest and most giving man I have ever known. His smile not only lite up a room, it lit up a concert venue with 20,000 people watching. His gift of music is well documented but his gift of life to all of us who knew his was far more significant. I love you and I will miss you my friend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.41.72 (talk) 22:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, feel free to put the death date and such back on the page, just put something on the lines of "per https://www.facebook.com/pages/BMA-tours/197898765542" in the summary so anybody reviewing will understand ;-) Snowolf How can I help? 22:05, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

IRC

Hi, I appreciate your diligence, but it really was me, and I really have forgotten how to use IRC (I was trying to log in to wp-en-admins but just kept getting incorrect username / other error messages). If you could remind me how to use IRC, that would be great. It Is Me Here t / c 13:27, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh I get it. We understood it as you asking for a password reset on-wiki, which is why I thought totally unlikely any admin would ask for :) Unbanned you from there, sorry about the misunderstanding, we've just had some users coming in trolling about password resets yesterday. To get a password reset on irc, ask for in #freenode - see [2]. Snowolf How can I help? 13:32, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

  2. CorenSearchBot - a bot that warns users who copy-paste text from external websites or other Wikipedia articles (drafts here)

We also have a proposal to test new "accepted," "declined," and "on-hold" templates at Articles for Creation (drafts here). The discussion isn't closed yet, so please weigh in if you're interested.
