CleanupWorklistBot issue

On articles WikiProject Louisville's cleanup list, there's a lot of new reports for "Template call duplicate arguments", but I don't see these problems in the articles. This seems to be a new issue.

@

Stevietheman: This was caused by an edit made by Good Olfactory (talk · contribs) that created two rowclass92 fields in {{Infobox settlement}}. It was fixed nine hours later. CleanupWorklistBot ran before all of the articles that transclude Infobox settlement could get reprocessed and have the "Template call duplicate arguments" (Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls) removed. --Bamyers99 (talk

Goofed Up Template Title

Sorry about the goof with this edit. I was trying to change the title of the second template on this page (titled "US broadcast network"). The links take me back to the US Topic template. I haven't seen a template set up like this before. Can you help? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:52, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

@Neutralhomer: The VTE links should probably be suppressed. If you edit Template:NPR Virginia you will see the "US broadcast network" title near the bottom. --Bamyers99 (talk) 02:06, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if there is any possibility that the new articles updating could somehow be done without a bot flag, since it's not affecting tons of articles? Like many people I suspect, I've had to turn off bots on my watchlist because KasparBot's transferring of PersonData to Wikidata is making it unreadable - but it's also taking the new articles bot off my page so that I have to remember where to find it to check it. It'd be great if we could still be able to unsee bots on the watchlist but still see these pages. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:16, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

@The Drover's Wife: Removing the bot flag would have other consequences such as InceptionBot not being hidable in recent changes. InceptionBot makes over 500 edits a day. For the two new articles reports that I monitor, I have a link to them on my User page. --Bamyers99 (talk) 17:15, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

My profuse thanks. That deletion was inadvertent. Activist (talk) 20:24, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

I went back to see if I could figure out what I'd done. It happened with another article as well, but I caught that one after looking at a prior edit that a vandal left. I've been editing for ten years, but it never happened before. Each time it happened, I wiped out many of my own edits along with sections that I wasn't actively working on. Obviously, I need to be a lot more careful. How in the world did you discover it? Thanks! Activist (talk) 23:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your recent change to the way broken links are shown, making it easier to target the more recently broken section links, as well as spot where we have lots of new broken sections coming from. Seriously, sorting by section gives a lot of information in this regard. I was wondering how easy it would be to make a list of the articles that are the target of the most broken section links, so we can actually start lowering the record count.

Hi! At the request of User:Rosiestep, I've been trying to put together a tool to help WikiProject Women in Red compile their monthly list of newly created articles. Some of the sources they use to put together this list are the AlexNewArtbot pages that InceptionBot maintains, like User:AlexNewArtBot/WomenWritersSearchResult. But I've run into a problem: the MediaWiki API will only return a list of links for the current revision of a page. Because the lists only include the latest ~14 days, it's not easy to reconstruct all the pages that were listed in a longer timeframe.

Would it be possible to add a new configuration option so that instead of 14 days, those pages would keep pages listed for a longer period?--ragesoss (talk) 05:37, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

This would be helpful for our very active WikiProject. And thank you, @Ragesoss. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:27, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

I think I've found a way to work around it now. Anyhow, thanks for your work with InceptionBot! --ragesoss (talk) 20:41, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

@Ragesoss: I was going to suggest using the MediaWiki API to retrieve multiple revisions for a couple of days in a month. ie. WomeninredSearchResult for May 15 and 31. Then use a regex such as (?:\<li\>\{\{User:AlexNewArtBot\/La\||\<li\>\[\[)([^}\]]+) to extract the links. --Bamyers99 (talk) 21:20, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, I see you have also reverted the removal of maintenance templates and such in the Rohit Khattar article. Any thoughts as to what can be done here, the editors are still removing them, as well as reverting to incorrect manual of style and layout. To me, it looks like editors claiming ownership because they will not allow others to fix even the smallest of grammar errors, such as removing the capital letter from words that are not proper nouns. If I shouldn't have asked this here on your talk page, I apologize, it was just that you were the previous editor before my edit was made and I thought you might be able to help.

Would it be possible to configure Template Parameters so that the currently blacklisted templates show specific pages where Value Counts below some arbitrary value? Looking through the reports for blacklisted templates, I see an enormous number of parameters that are one-off typos for a valid parameter or guesses at parameters that the template can't support. The report for {{Nihongo}} has 9 parameters that have Value Counts of 3 or more, and hundreds at 1 or 2. If Value Counts of 1, 5, 10 or even 100 were set to display specific pages linked from black listed templates, it would open up enormous opportunites for cleaning up bad parameters.

If displaying pages for low Value Count parameters isn't easy to achieve, can I request I full report (blacklist override) for {{Taxobox}} with the October update? I know I said I'd ask in a couple months at the Signpost article, but I've made more progress through the current report than I thought I would. Plantdrew (talk) 03:25, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

@Plantdrew: I have been analyzing providing page links for invalid parameter names for blacklisted templates. Also for blacklisted templates missing required/suggested parameters. I plan to start coding it today and have it ready for the October run. --Bamyers99 (talk) 14:54, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Great. Thank you very much for your work on this. Plantdrew (talk) 16:43, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

@Plantdrew: The October data has been loaded. There is a problem with the {{Taxobox}} TemplateData parameter definitions. Either the parameter names or aliases are missing an underscore between the words in the parameter name. That is why the parameter name usages with underscores are showing up as invalid parameters. --Bamyers99 (talk) 00:55, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I noticed it the October data was up earlier and have started working through the items where I needed page links to find the problem parameter. I'm not very worried about the underscore issue at the moment; as far as I'm aware, all the multiple word parameters in Taxobox are functional with either a space or an undersore. I've been replacing spaces with hyphens in the course of fixing other issues, but haven't been targeting them specifically. I don't suppose it would be possible to get the report to treat spaced and underscored parameters is equivalent?

I did have to make the page link data generate twice in the space of about 6 hours. I gather that isn't supposed to be necessary more than once a month? Plantdrew (talk) 01:20, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

@Plantdrew: I loaded the data twice today after fixing a bug in the template extraction code. The TemplateData issue is a problem with the TemplateData parameter definitions, not the actual usage in articles. The parameter names and their aliases are identical. One or the other needs to have an underscore added. The examples and other documentation use the spaced version. If that is the preferred way, then the aliases need the underscore added. If they aren't fixed by next month, then I will fix them. The 'page link data generate' will go much faster if the underscored parameters aren't flagged as invalid. Issue example:

	"image width": {
			"label": "Image Width",
			"description": "Width to display the image at. Should not normally be set. e.g. 320px",
			"type": "string",
			"aliases": [
				"image width"
			],
			"required": false
		},

--Bamyers99 (talk) 01:44, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Underscores were stripped out of the Taxobox documentation in a recent undiscussed change. It wasn't something I'd cared enough to argue out, but underscores are far more frequently used than spaces, and if it's causing problems for the report, it's worth discussing. I'll bring it up at Template talk:Taxobox. Plantdrew (talk) 02:07, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, many thanks for this great tool. There appears to be a problem with the update though as it does not appear to have updated the missing links by removing those that have been fixed since previous run. Could be because they have been fixed to the alternative option of |accessdate= rather than |access-date= under which the missing list appears. You get no entries for the missing for |accessdate=.

@Keith D: The update is from a Wikipedia data dump that was started sometime on October 1.

Hi Bamyers99,

I added the Arabic language to the infobox under: "Recognised national languages" of the article Eritrea. In addition, I added Arabic to the chapter "Languages" in the article. I also added some sources for this information. Then, User:Richard0048 deleted this change with the explanation "HOA not redundant to East Africa, no need to remove content".

It is fact that Arabic is a recognised national language of Eritrea. I don`t know what I should do in this matter. Could you help me or give me an advice? Thank you in advance.

Hi!

I was wondering, maybe you could do some additional dump scanning? Theoretically it would be a one-time (or two-time) scan for each template in question. For external link templates (like {{IMDb name}}) - show articles (with template values), which have malformatted values (yes, we have tracking categories, but with dump scan results we can do effecient work), for some other templates - show articles (params and their values), which contain unknown template params. No public interface is needed - simple txt file. You probably would have to code a little bit, but I think you have the needed codebase. Will give you more specific details, if you say yes to my initial question. I simply don't have the needed resources to do dump scan myself. Yes, theoretically I could do that (or in some cases - scan live template transclusions), but... enwiki is too big and you're anyway doing scanning :) --Edgars2007 (talk/contribs) 14:33, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

@Edgars2007: The Template Parameter tool already shows "unknown template params". Example for IMDb name.

For the "malformatted values", I would rather create a general solution that would be available for any template through the Template Parameter tool. I have come up with a design to implement regex, enumeration and wikidata property validation at User:Bamyers99/TemplateParametersTool. Feel free to add other templates to the Templates section of that page. --Bamyers99 (talk) 23:22, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

OK, that looks promising. But what I'm personally missing (and the reasons, why was asking for additional scan) or have ideas about:

a) get the data behind > 50 unique values :) Maybe not directly available in summary table, but accesible via some link. IMO, that would really help find patterns and some job for a bot.

b) for example, for this page - additional column for param value - also for making life easier.

c) maybe an option to download that table (action=paramlinks) as tsv/csv/json or some other format. If you have some big dataset/you're working with bot/processing offline, pressing "Next page" is not so easy.

d) for the same IMDb name, |id= is alias of |1=, is they way to show that in regex field? Yes, I could duplicate the regex, but... Maybe make it something like 1|id=<regex>, "|" being a separator (which is not valid symbol for parameter name, so there shouldn't be any conflicts).

e) be careful with Wikidata field. Not very simple in some cases. For example, for Template:FIS we have 6 different Wikidata properties (one for each sector) + we don't have WD data for some few other sectors. But OK, that's not so important - pretty rare cases. And in some cases, URL pattern is different - the same d:Property:P345, as it's scope at WD is bigger than here.

Hmm, that would be all what comes to mind now. --Edgars2007 (talk/contribs) 06:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

@Edgars2007: a) Here is a dump of all of the template values for IMDb name. If you are going to import it into LibreOffice Calc, I had to force the text delimiter to a ~ (tilde) to get it to import properly.

c) I will look into adding this.

d) Aliases are handled properly. I have updated the documentation to reflect this. --Bamyers99 (talk) 16:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm finally busy in real life, but now I have time to respond. Thanks about IMDb name dump scan. Actually, that template isn't so much in my interest (that was first example that came to mind :D ), but as a test it's fine :) No, I'm initially opening in Notepad++, so I don't have such problems. Thanks also for clarification about aliases. Speaking of which, another idea come to mind. For example, if template has param |foo=, which has alias |bar= and some article has both params set (and both of them are nonempty), then add them to the report somehow.

Hello, I was using the Template Parameters Tool results earlier and noticed a problem, when following a link to an article that ends with a question mark, you get the "Wikipedia does not have an article with that name" error. It looks like the tool is creating the URL with ? on the end, instead of %3F which Wikipedia uses in its URLs to represent a question mark, and so it tries to use the ? as the start of a query that obviously isn't there.

@X201: Adding the TemplateData is all that is needed. The monthly report knows how to find all templates that have TemplateData. Audiosample will show up on next months report. --Bamyers99 (talk) 15:27, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

OK, thanks - X201 (talk) 15:32, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Good day! Cleanup listing for WikiProject Croatia/Zagreb on the WikiProject's wiki-page returns error 404 - Not Found. Having attempted to add the project, as described on User:CleanupWorklistBot, I received the same error. Please help! Best regards! --Ivi104 (talk) 09:47, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

@Ivi104: The cleanup listing is now running for Zagreb. I have updated the Croatia/Zagreb WikiProject page to link to the new listing. --Bamyers99 (talk) 20:40, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, it's me again. This time I noticed that Category:2022 in Finland (created on 21 May 2017‎) never got listed on User:AlexNewArtBot/FinlandSearchResult. Can you fix this too? I mostly use this helpful list to update iw links, so it would be nice to not miss any pages that should be on it. 88.113.104.224 (talk) 22:50, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

I added a rule to match Finland in the page title. --Bamyers99 (talk) 23:05, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing up the Triple H edit. I was just trying to add bolding to his ring name but it looks like somehow the linking got really messed up. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:27, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bamyers, is there an implementation of your CleanupWorklistBot (or something similar) that will compile a list of cleanup tags for a specified set of articles other than a WikiProject (for example, a given category or a user-specified list)? If not, it could be a nice supplement to personal watchlists and onerous backlog templates. czar 23:30, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Unwatching this page, but please ping if you have any suggestions czar 02:37, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Might I suggest that +190 for pattern: /\Wsong-stub\}\}/ is perhaps just a tad too high? "

for me (charting single etc. - which is why I wrote the article) - but giving it +190 for being a stub, which is all it is likely ever to be??? Surely not.

Unscrupulous editors could game that +190 rating to make non-notable songs look notable - and there seems to be a pretty solid consensus (with which I agree) that the majority of songs are not notable. Narky Blert (talk) 01:12, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

@Narky Blert: +190 is not a notability or quality rating. It represents the likelihood that an article is of interest to a particular WikiProject. --Bamyers99 (talk) 01:23, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

What concerns me, is that some

WP:NPPs might look just at the numbers and wave new, garbage, articles through on the strength of the numbers alone. Narky Blert (talk

My mistake. Apologies.

Hi Bamyers99, my apologies for this. I was analysing and undoing a suspect editor's edits and pressed undo on the wrong edit. Editor (under a different name) routinely removes such tags. My apologies. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 16:49, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Rules

Hi Bamyers99. Would you be willing to help configure the rules for the Women's sport project? If there's someone else managing the other bot that I should ask instead, please let me know. For now, I've mostly copied and pasted what we used for the Women's football/soccer task force, but was a bit confused as to how to update it for all women's sport (and women in sports) articles. Thank you. Hmlarson (talk) 03:49, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

@Hmlarson: I have added 'women in sports' rules. The rules are based on Category:Sportswomen by sport. I don't know about women's sport in general. --Bamyers99 (talk) 18:39, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks a million. I'll check out the results when available next week. Many thanks. Hmlarson (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, having just found that this edit has caused that navbox to show at Wikipedia:Database reports/Invalid Navbar links where it was not previously listed, would it be possible to look for transclusion through redirects as well as direct transclusion, please? For example, {{navbox}} has these redirects. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:17, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

@Redrose64: I have changed the code to automatically find the redirects. I was manually maintaining a list of redirects and missed some. The September 1 list will use the new code. --Bamyers99 (talk) 21:06, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:28, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Rainbow International School, Seoul is changed to Korea Foreign School. How can we change the name of the page to Korea Foreign School? Thanks, Kfsuser (talk) 07:50, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I think I got confused; I see that the cleanup listings are hosted on the toolserver now, rather than being added to WikiProject subpages as WolterBot used to do. Everything is fine, nothing to see here, move along... dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 18:05, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

I have fixed the category link on the test page. --Bamyers99 (talk) 19:16, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
