Since no-one at meta has decided to advertise this attempt to supercede local policy on enwiki at all, any editors interested in files should have a look at meta:NonFreeWiki. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 00:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

...Since their subpages do not include ".../Log/...". I'll have to see where this leads as I may try to change that. Steel1943 (talk) 18:54, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Steel1943: it is possible, just requires a different approach. I'll work on it - I have some ideas --DannyS712 (talk) 18:55, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome ... since the problem is clear, but I just don't know how to Lua. But, that may change by the end of this year. ☺️ Steel1943 (talk) 18:56, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Steel1943 and DannyS712: If you're trying to add FfD, the bigger problem is that the bot doesn't create Wikipedia:Files for discussion/Old unclosed discussions. I could write code to handle the lack of the "/Log" fairly easily, but Anomie would need to make his bot create the /Old unclosed discussions subpage first. * Pppery * _{the end} 21:10, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: why would you need /Old unclosed discussions? you can retrieve the count of unclosed discussions by parsing Wikipedia:Files for discussion#Old discussions --DannyS712 (talk) 21:13, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DannyS712: Because I don't want to right any more special-case code than I have to. * Pppery * _{the end} 21:14, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: Well, I'd like to try writing it - given that there are only 6 "cases" total (A/M/R/T/C/F xd), I don't think its a big deal to have different code for ffd. Since it doesn't have backlogs like cfd and tfd do, it only needs a "total" count. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:18, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DannyS712: At one point, WP:FFD had a 6-month backlog, so just providing a "total" may not be sufficient, especially if the administrators moderating FfD at this time go on to other tasks. Steel1943 (talk) 21:22, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let me see what I can do with just a total, and then try to add that --DannyS712 (talk) 21:22, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @DannyS712: FFD has had huge backlogs in the past. There's no reason to expect the backlog not to grow again. It makes much more sense to me to incorporate FfD into the main framework of the module, given that it is easily incorporable into the framework of the module, then to have to write special-case code for everything; that's why I wrote this module to begin with. * Pppery * _{the end} 21:24, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If consensus at WT:FFD is in favor of Wikipedia:Files for discussion/Old unclosed discussions, that could be done easily enough. Anomie⚔ 21:25, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• @Pppery, DannyS712, and Anomie: In lieu of any discussion after over a month, I'd say this request is uncontroversial. Steel1943 (talk) 17:32, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Pppery, DannyS712, and Steel1943: Wikipedia:Files for discussion/Old unclosed discussions is now being created. Please update WP:FFD appropriately since that is no longer being updated. Anomie⚔ 23:04, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, I've updated FFD (and also boldly reformatted the page in a separate edit) * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:42, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
