Hey

all episodes of Sesame Street has been counted since 4731 by the muppet wiki which watches every single episode of Sesame Street Astrawiki3203 (talk) 00:01, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

there aren’t 4731 episodes anymore, more has been created Astrawiki3203 (talk) 00:01, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Astrawiki3203

Do you mean *this* Muppet Wiki? https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Sesame_Street. That summary page reflects a total number of episodes of 4733

They have a season-by-season episode count here: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Sesame_Street_Episode_Guide. The math from the season breakdown page (which covers through season 55) comes to 4731 episodes.

Which wiki are you referring to? SirOlgen (talk) 05:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Review on Brooklyn edit

Olgen, I see you made edits on an article about Brooklyn, one of New York City's five boroughs. I have recently edited the top bio for the second time this year. (the first one I duplicated the term "most populous of the five") - I hope you can take your time and review (here) what I did and see what I messed up. Thanks. If any, respond if you can. DBrown SPS (talk) 00:34, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DBrown SPS Hi there. Looks great! I prefer how you've organized the info over what had existed prior. I'd be inclined to delink Brooklyn was consolidated in and annexed (given that a second link to the City of Greater New York article is at the end of the same sentence), but in general it's a solid update. Thanks for the opportunity to weigh in! – SirOlgen (talk) 16:23, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SirOlgen: Thanks for the feedback, buddy. DBrown SPS (talk) 23:25, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question about fixes to Linter background color issues in Infoboxes

Hey there! Thanks for fixing Linter background color issues in templates. Over the past few days, I have fixed a few hundred infobox templates, along with a few related templates and modules, which should result in a few million errors being fixed (not exaggerating; Module:Userbox (see diff) alone has 334K transclusions).

I am stuck on a few infobox templates and wonder if you were interested in having a look. I've been working on clearing up this list of Infobox pages, and I have reduced it from nearly 5,000 entries to under 1,600. Most of the remaining errors just need the /sandbox synced with the corrected code to clear errors on the testcases page, but I am seeing remaining errors on a few pages that I haven't figured out. For example, Template:Infobox college basketball team/testcases shows errors. If you wouldn't mind taking a look, I would be grateful. Feel free to make edits to the relevant /sandbox pages, or to the template pages themselves if you are confident and have the necessary permissions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:32, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I found the issue at Module:College color. In one situation, a foreground color was not being specified. This will fix as many as 133K pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:40, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't see your update until after posting my initial response. Yeah, some of instances are more adept at hiding than others. Nice fix!

– SirOlgen (talk) 18:14, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm down to 95 pages in Template space that start with "Infobox", from an initial count of about 5,000. The page does not list all of the affected infoboxes, but fixing these pages has fixed many pages that transclude infoboxes. I haven't gotten stuck yet, but I need to sleep and look at the list with a fresh mind in the morning. Happy editing! Thanks for inspiring me to dig in to this endless list of templates that contain dark mode issues. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:16, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: You've made a tremendous amount of progress for one day... your list was sizeable when I looked at it earlier this afternoon. I've been abnormally tied-up today.

In general I've been focused on missing end tag errors in the Article space, but after fixing those will look for any citation and other Lint errors to resolve before moving on. Templates have been a prevalent source of the dark mode errors, and I've definitely noticed that template transclusions offer some serious low-hanging fruit in terms of chipping away at the total error count. The only errors I am reluctant to try and fix are the ones in the Lua modules, but I'll probably work up the nerve to start dabbling in that space at some point.

In any case, happy hunting!

– SirOlgen (talk) 03:51, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for working on those missing end tags. We got them down to one-per-article after many years of work, and what remains is a bit tedious. I try to do twenty or thirty per day. As for navboxes and dark mode, if you decide that you want to work on a batch of them, this search currently turns up over 9,000 templates. There will be some false positives in there, but most of them will need work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:33, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95 Thanks for the search list. I've been muddling with end tags for so long that I'm really enjoying the relative simplicity of the dark mode navbox fixes this morning... once I wrap up the "Golden whatever" awards templates I'm currently working through, I'll maybe delve into your list a bit. SirOlgen (talk) 17:51, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95 I see your Infobox list is down to a seemingly impenetrable few (I was able to clear one NCAA-related error, but the rest are head-scratchers).

One thing I did notice while rummaging around was that Module:Infobox/styles.css looks to declare a background-color attribute without a color attribute for .infobox-subbox. I'm just wondering if adding color:inherit after the background-color:transparent would do anything to move the needle. Looking at the rendered html source for Template:Infobox_software_licence, I can see the .infobox-subbox definition there... maybe that's causing Linter some grief?

It looks like Module:Infobox/styles.css is template-protected, so beyond my reach if you want to try fiddling with it.

– SirOlgen (talk) 00:06, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added color:inherit there, but I suspect it was not actually causing a problem, since that page is transcluded in 4.7 million pages and I wasn't seeing them come up on my radar. As for the remaining pages on the infobox list linked above, some are caused by {{Format TemplateData}}, for which I have submitted a fix request. Some are caused by {{Adjacent stations}}, the code for which is beyond my programming abilities; it will get fixed at some point if this error ever becomes a priority. I'm happy with the list as it stands now. It was a fun little project. I have submitted a few other change requests at other template pages where a Lua module programmer is needed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:15, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. I'll definitely have a look, thanks for asking. Some of these errors definitely get a bit convoluted, seeming to dead-end or become circular. I'm definitely no stranger to hitting walls on these.
