Requesting change of block

@99of9: as GrounderUK pointed out on the noticeboard, my changes "as a functioneer" (i.e. in the mainspace) have seen little controversy. I'm requesting the block be changed to a pblock for everywhere but the mainspace and this page so that I can contribute outside of the areas where more people object to my contributions and such. If you do this, I request you also change the length to 1 month. Thanks, Feeglgeef (talk) 19:52, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Done --99of9 (talk) 23:37, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! Feeglgeef (talk) 23:50, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Can I also get "User?" I'd like to maintain my userscripts, one of them is broken (and also having a user page would be ideal) Feeglgeef (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I think I'm actually ready for a full unblock now. Sorry for the many requested changes :) Feeglgeef (talk) 13:46, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757: phab:T379873 (not related to this, just wanted to let you know :)) Feeglgeef (talk) 22:47, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks for doing the unconnections I needed, and for helping to connect all my functions and test cases up so they could be used! Have a great day! :) MolecularPilot (talk) 01:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome! Feeglgeef (talk) 01:07, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Z21739

Apologies if this is an inappropriate place to ask. The only implementation of Z21739 seems to capitalize the first letter of the string it returns. Should it not be lowercase, so that additional computation/effort won't be required if the word is not at the start of a sentence? To me, it just seems counterintuitive. I would be bold and make the change myself, but I can't as I lack functioneer rights. Theki (talk) 21:59, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Done, I've corrected this now. Thanks for the report! :) MolecularPilot (talk) 03:42, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! Feeglgeef (talk) 15:59, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

That's so fine, your TP was still on my watchlist and I saw this and thought... I can do that haha! :) MolecularPilot (talk) 04:07, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Gender

Is there a project to create genders instead of using signs ? Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick (talk) 01:51, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

No, one needs to created at WF:TP. I'll create it at some point if nobody else does. Feeglgeef (talk) 03:39, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

And, on your question on User talk:MolecularPilot, yes, it is currently possible (I think?), the real question is does it time out and who will put in the effort to give an attempt. Feeglgeef (talk) 03:43, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

For the moment, I only work on translation, and it takes more time than I thank, users are very active. But I'm thinking about looking into programming a bit in the future. I'm already able to update a program, it's quite simple, like the list of supported languages, or create a small program for Wikipedia, but it's time I think a little more.

Merge the fork

Hi, may I merge your version? (User:Feeglgeef/wikilambda editsource.js) · ^מקף Hyphen _෴ · 23:56, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Sure! Feeglgeef (talk) 03:43, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Z21053

Can you explain why you no longer consider this useful? It looks like it has stranded tests etc. Can we restore it and then evaluate as a wider community whether it's useful? --99of9 (talk) 12:59, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

It's been a while, but I believe I removed it because I thought starting from scratch w/ Z21121 would be easier. You're free to restore it, if you'd like. Feeglgeef (talk) 19:26, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! Also composition bug

Thanks for helping me with Z31294! Do you have any idea why my composition implementation doesn't work? (That implementation should probably be disconnected until someone can get it working.)

(Also, unrelatedly, is there any way to download content from the internet with a function? I was trying to do this at Z31284 but Python's requests module is missing, and any JS solutions need to be async.) sillypantscoder (talk) 23:56, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Update! I figured out why it doesn't work-- the "list to match (sub-list)" is accidentally wrapped in a list before being passed to "index of first sub-list". This is a pretty easy change to make, however it seems I don't have permission to make it. Can you do it? (Or alternatively, can you disconnect the function so that I can do it?) sillypantscoder (talk) 01:14, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

No, there is no way to interact with the Internet or APIs whatsoever, and that's very much intentional AFAIK. I will disconnect the function. Feeglgeef (talk) 02:49, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Oop, looks like @YoshiRulz: got it :) Feeglgeef (talk) 02:50, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Okay! It seems like it wouldn't do any harm to have a function "make GET request" with a built-in implementation. (Although I'm sure at some point someone would make a function which uses an internet request to call itself :P)

Thank you for helping! sillypantscoder (talk) 04:00, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Z32322 (and Z32321)

On Z32322, it should be "exists in", not "is in".

Also, do you think you could make an implementation for Z32321? I can't figure out how to. If you can't/don't want to, I'll ask on the IRC. dot.py 21:11, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

I've created X exists in N Ys, 3/4 arg composition (Z32404), which is giving an error I don't know how to decipher. The implementation in English, X exists in N Ys, English (Z32399) does appear to work, though. Feeglgeef (talk) 22:23, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

@Dot.py: got it! It should be working now. Feeglgeef (talk) 22:35, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much! dot.py 22:47, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Regarding the staff self-granting policy violation

A staff member giving themself adminship does not violate any local Wikifunctions policy. It does, however, violate WMF policy. JJP_Master (she/they) 22:19, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

? I believe that policy applies when you need someone else to give you the right, not when you have the technical ability to give it to yourself. I imagine that, once the Wikifunctions staff right (which has the technical ability to self-grant sysop) went through the WMF process, the sysop right was implicit, similar to how my RFA allowed me to grant myself translationadmin back when I had the rights.

What do?

Hey, Feelglgeef, it's good to see a familiar face here, and thank you for helping out with my function. I noticed while trying to edit my test case for Honiara, as I've accidently made the string equality say "and largest city" instead of "and the largest city", which is what it should be (it's also still giving a void output, which obviously isn't intended), that I cannot, as my function had been connected! This is of course the end goal, but I did not expect that to happen so soon, and as I'm new here I do not know what the correct path for making fixes to the now-connected function is. Is it considered acceptable to make new implementations and test cases, or do I have to make an "edit request", so to speak? Cheers. Maltazarian (talk) 13:03, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Ah, sorry. I'll disconnect them. Let me (or Requests for connection and disconection) know if you would like them to be connected again. The functioneer user right allows one to connect and disconnect implementations and tests on their own and edit connected implementations and tests, and it's generally given out to users with only a few edits who request it on WF:RFUG (it's mainly a security/vandalism prevention thing). Feeglgeef (talk) 14:11, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Ah, I imagined it as being akin to template editor level of experience needed. I will just request it then. Thanks for the help. Maltazarian (talk) 15:23, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! Feeglgeef (talk) 17:18, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
