[14:06:14] Sagan: like this i guess. i don't think you can get the API to tell you that it's an IP address, but it can tell you it's not a valid username. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=&list=users&usprop=groups%7Cimplicitgroups&ususers=Matma%20Rex%7C127.0.0.1 [14:06:30] MatmaRex: ah, ok. Thanks :) [22:14:22] hi [22:15:09] I'm looking at changes made to translations marks to the Lua reference manual: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PageTranslation&target=Extension%3AScribunto%2FLua+reference+manual&do=mark [22:15:39] The checkboxes indicate "Do not invalidate translations" [22:16:06] why the double negation? [22:17:10] It makes things really unclear, should I check or uncheck this boxes to validate a new translation anchor? [22:37:23] psychoslave: what do you mean by "validate"? there is no such thing [22:38:35] The negation is there because the maintainers feel strongly about the defaults (invalidate first, ask later ;) ) [22:39:18] An alternative could be "Do not ask for updates of existing translations" [22:40:01] (such a change is uncontroversial enough that you may propose a patch to that effect directly, if you wish) [22:40:31] It's a bit "To shutdown the system, turn 'shutdown' to 'on'" as it currently is [22:56:19] ok, it's far more with your formulation Nemo_bis [22:57:53] I'll see if I find some time to propose a patch, but right now it's not in my priorities ^^
