Why was the 1993 election in Nigeria
editWhen was the 1993 election cancel cancel in Nigeria 102.64.222.211 (talk) 11:08, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- 1993 Nigerian presidential election has the answer, I suspect. Primefac (talk) 11:18, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

I hope I'm doing this right, if not, very sorry, but I request Oversight and Full Protection of this page due to doxxing and people showing up at the victims houses due to the doxxing. Thank you for reading. OldDiddlyBop (talk) 05:53, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Seems to have been sorted already. Primefac (talk) 13:08, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Userfication of some COVID-19 templates
editHello, in my reply in the recent COVID-19 templates deletion discussion I requested to userfy all medical cases charts that were to be deleted. Given your final implementation of the deletion, those would be:
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Donetsk People's Republic medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Luhansk People's Republic medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Namibia medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Tibet medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/American Samoa medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/Alameda County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/Contra Costa County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/Marin County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/Napa County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/San Francisco County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/San Mateo County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/Solano County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States/California/Sonoma County medical cases chart (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This isn't my first such request and may not be the last. Therefore, if for some reason I'm not made aware of similar deletions, I would appreciate a heads-up. ;) Alexis Coutinho (talk) 17:49, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll get to it in a bit. Primefac (talk) 17:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! Alexis Coutinho (talk) 18:11, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
UTM tags
editPrimebot is still removing UTM tags in accordance with Task 17, and there are still thousands of occurrences.
Would it be feasible to make an edit filter to let people know to delete UTM tags? DS (talk) 03:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Might be feasible; WP:EFR would be the place to bring it up, but checking URLs for
utm=
and similar should be fairly straight-forward. Primefac (talk) 12:44, 12 November 2024 (UTC) - Filter 1030 (hist · log) is currently tagging new urls with tracking parameters. Might be time to create MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-tracking and set the filter to warn and tag, but as Primefac said EFR would be the place to discuss that.

Links to non-existing templates
editcould you fix the transclusion you created to Template:UserAfCP which doesn't exist? Frietjes (talk) 19:54, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yeargh, thanks. Primefac (talk) 19:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Unexpected PrimeBOT failure mode
editThe treatment of the periods here: [2]. JBL (talk) 00:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- That's a rather interesting one! To me that falls into the category of "exception to the rule", with the rule being "punctuation before references". Other than disabling genfixes I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about it, as they're part of that suite on AWB. Primefac (talk) 13:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Those probably should be used in
<code>...</code>
blocks, like how it's done at Filename extension. Gonnym (talk) 13:39, 13 November 2024 (UTC)- Oh, brilliant, yes for sure. Will go do that. --JBL (talk) 00:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research
editHello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Take the survey here.
Kind Regards,
Query
editHello, Primefac,
I was very surprised to see that you had blocked Saqib and since this is an ArbCom block, there is no information provided on the editor's user talk page on what prompted this block and removal of talk page access. As far as I can see they weren't involved in an arbitration case or brought up at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. Are you free to share any information on what prompted this block? Saqib was very active in AFDLand and I relied on their intelligence and deletion nominations. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:52, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I am not free to discuss the matter or provide information on what prompted this block. Primefac (talk) 11:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- That's the answer I expected. But it was such a shock to see that I felt I had to ask in case there was any explanation you could offer. But ARBCOM blocks are like that, no further information supplied. Thanks for the polite response. Liz Read! Talk! 05:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- I was about to email Primefac regarding this. They were really helpful in AfD. Well....c'est la vie.— Benison (Beni · talk) 08:05, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- I share similar concerns, I don’t mean to cause commotion but Saqib was key in patrolling and protecting Pakistani Wikipedia including in NPOV. Titan2456 (talk) 15:41, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Saros
editHi there. I'm curious about the introduction of a saros parameter in this edit — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:50, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Copy/paste fail, I was using the code from a different template and clearly managed to miss it in the transfer. Primefac (talk) 12:59, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Okay but there is still another parameter called saros — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:29, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed. Primefac (talk) 15:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello Primefac. I noticed that you reverted an edit that unsuppressed a link to the CC-BY-SA-licensed File:Coin Icon.svg. I am wondering if you had read my comment on the respective talk page prior to doing so and, if not, whether you have a reply to that.

Discussion at WP:THQ § Help:How to move a page and template protection
editYou are invited to join the discussion at WP:THQ § Help:How to move a page and template protection. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Primefac. Could you take a look a this? I misunderstood the OP's question and mistakenly thought they were asking about how to edit a protected template when they seem to be asking how to edit a protected page in the "Help" namespace. No idea as to whether the change they want to make is needed, but the licensing of the file they uploaded to Commons might need to be tweaked to be c:Template:Wikipedia screenshot. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:43, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

cand q
editThank you for standing for arbitrator. I am far away from it all (travel, mourning), not in the mood, so just an informal question you can answer or ignore:
- Liviu Holender chose lieder by five composers whose music was banned by the Nazis—Schreker, Zemlinsky, Mahler, Korngold and Schönberg—for a recital at the Oper Frankfurt.
What does this 2024 DYK tell you about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:22, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- I assume you mean the article and not the DYK hook itself (which has nothing to do with infoboxes). I suppose the article doesn't really tell me anything about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024, which... I guess is a good thing? I don't see any evidence of warring or dispute over the infobox. Primefac (talk) 16:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- I meant the hook mentioning 5 composers whose talk pages might tell you something about the degree of disagreement. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:02, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- I did not think to look at every talk page, will do so in the near future but I will be largely unavailable for probably

is under discussion. You were the blocking admin. Is JayCubby (talk · contribs) 3X'd? OK to unblock? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:52, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Having read the discussion, it looks like everyone is "okay" with unblocking, just no one has done it. There's still the glock to deal with, but from an enWiki perspective people seem to think we're headed in the right direction. Primefac (talk) 11:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- It's since been dealt with, much to my happiness 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ please edit my user page! Talk 14:43, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Question
editGiven that you have unblocked User:JayCubby, do you think it would be potentially worthwhile to unblock their public alt, User:JayCubby-public? I ask, given that public accounts are specifically listed under WP:LEGITSOCK, but I would like to know what you think in that regard. If you don't feel comfortable unblocking it, that's fine, I just wanted to contact you about it because of your unblocking of the main account (as well as the fact that you originally blocked the public account).
Pinging @AmandaNP: and @Star Mississippi:, given the former's locking of the accounts and the latter being involved in discussion surrounding it here. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I did agree to limit myself to one account, so perhaps it should just be left locked. 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ please edit my user page! Talk 14:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. Only this account is to be unlocked. Or unblocked. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you both for the clarification, I appreciate it. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. Only this account is to be unlocked. Or unblocked. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
