Re: databases
Hello -revi,

Seeing that you retrieved the most active users by number of edits recently, it looks like you're good at this database thing. Two questions:

1) By a database query, would you be able to retrieve information about deleted articles, if you are not a sysop?

2) Would you be willing to implement (or guide me how to do this -- link me to relevant reading materials) this -- a tracker of 'Review', 'Develop', 'Disputed', 'Abandoned' category additions to articles within the last year? I was going to write a Perl script for this, to retrieve each article history and category membership manually in a loop, but perhaps this is terribly wrong...

Again thank you for your response in advance, -revi!

 * No, unless you have access to WMF production database, the SQL query on quarry just works with the undeleted pages,as far as I know.
 * You should be able to access deleted revisions via mw:API:Deletedrevisions. However, I don't know how to retrieve the logs of delete log. &mdash; revi  ☏  15:58, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Nodejs programming needed
Hello. Do you program in nodejs? Please see here. Or if you know someone else please link them to the section. Thank you in advance. Gryllida (talk) 00:16, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I have no idea with Node.js. I'll find if someone knows it, but given MW is PHP, I have limited information about nodejs devs around here. &mdash; revi  ☏  15:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

ArbCom
Hello -revi :-)

1) Arbitration_Committee/2017_election/Results

Does Arbitration_Committee/2018_election/Results need to be created?

2) Perhaps the results also need to be posted to the forum, and

3) Arbitration_Committee needs to also be updated where it lists current and past members?

Just checking as I think this is the process from last year.

 * That looks fine.
 * Hmm, do we have precedence?
 * I think we can update on D-Day. &mdash; revi  ☏  17:50, 31 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Preferably there should be a page for this year's election results, created (or at least, with the results filled in) by an election committee member, and ideally signed off on by both election committee members. --Pi zero (talk) 15:50, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Done the Results page. Waiting for Gryllida to certify. If Gryliida want to post it on forums, that's fine for me. &mdash; revi  ☏  16:07, 2 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I updated the lists of current and past members. --Pi zero (talk) 22:21, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
