Hi, I see a number of the articles you have added to Category:Draftspace cricket articles by 02blythed weren't actually created by him. What is the criteria you are using when populating this category? Mattlore (talk) 08:09, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Mattlore, I was using "user contribs". That will catch some unintentionally but don't worry, I'm going through them again in pre-parse to sift out the relevant ones. Thanks, DrStrauss talk 08:12, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi DrStrauss.

It looks like one of your latest AWB runs is putting invalid templates into articles? {{O-rphan}} ?

Eno Lirpa (talk) 11:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Eno Lirpa, yeah, I tried colon +{{[[Template:

This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions.

]]}} with but that just transcluded "orphan" onto about 500 BLPs so I quickly did that as a holding mechanism until they're all in the draftspace and I can find out an alternative method. Thanks for the note though. DrStrauss talk 11:36, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

OK, I think I see, you moved some to draft space, and then a portion of them (but not all) back to article space. I'm not asking you to doublecheck, I was just confused. I think my request at ANI is now too confusing; I think I'll remove it. Anyway, cheers. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:58, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

No problem. DrStrauss talk 19:00, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

whacked with a wet trout. In general, using AWB to find the offending articles and then move them to draftspace was a good idea. Unfortunately, you hit a heck of a lot of collateral damage. Some of it is stuff that we probably still need to work on improving, sure, but it went beyond the remit of the AN discussion. I'd ask that you pay more attention when using AWB in the future; well over 100 of those articles have been moved back to mainspace now; had you been more attentive with the automated process, this would have involved a lot less work. Sometimes semi-automated processes don't make things easier! Harrias talk 09:52, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Dear DrStrauss, thanks for your comment and feedback. I have updated a bit the sources. However, I've read that magazine publications are considered reliable sources for products or services, which is the case with this page. As far as I was able to trace, the articles in Forbes and TechChurch don't seem to be connected with the company. They have proven as independent sources and their publications are considered reliable. Thank you for your time!

Hello DrStrauss. I've been working through some of the items in the draft list and I think Draft:Aamer Brohi and Draft:Aamer Butt (cricketer) should both be deleted because there is no information about them in the normal cricket sources, other than the names which may not even be correct on a couple of scorecards. Something I don't actually know, never having worked with drafts before, is how to delete them. Is it via AfD or another way? Thanks. Jack | ^{talk page} 18:32, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi

miscellany for deletion. A PROD might do though. Have you enabled Twinkle? It should do it automatically for you. Thanks, DrStrauss talk

18:35, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Been here twelve years and never seen MfD before. Oh, well. Anyway, yes, I do use Twinkle and I see that it uses MfD instead of AfD if it's a draft. I've put them both in MfD as they can't be properly verified. I think the names are wrong on the original scorecards, which isn't an unusual occurrence. Thanks again. Jack | ^{talk page} 18:52, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Just FYI, when you move a talk page in a round-robin page move and suppress the redirect, please be sure to re-create the talk page redirect, such as at Talk:Western Punjabi. Otherwise you break links to the new page title's talk page. And heck, just about all page movers have done this at least once.  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  07:57, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

09:48, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand what you think you're doing by moving a disambiguation page to a title that was never ambiguous: Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. All this round-robin swapping is just making the page histories more confusing. You really should leave these more complex multi-moves for administrators to perform. Rather than saving administrators time, this just ends up taking more time to clean it up than it would have taken to do the move the simplest possible way in the first place. wbm1058 (talk) 22:27, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

1. move Sunderland --> Sunderland (disambiguation). You can do this without leaving a redirect behind since step 2 will just delete the redirect that step 1 created.
2. move Sunderland, Tyne and Wear --> Sunderland

There is no need to move Sunderland (disambiguation) out of the way. That was just a redirect to Sunderland that should have been deleted to make way for the move. – wbm1058 (talk) 22:43, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

There is no need to perform a "round-robin history swap" to perform this move. wbm1058 (talk) 22:53, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

The thing with this move is that we actually want to delete the history of

Hi

Draft:Move which is supposed to delete itself or something similar. Either way, it uses the draftspace as a holding pen and it malfunctioned somehow. I've tagged the page for housekeeping deletion. Regards, DrStrauss talk

10:40, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

I decided to move the history back to Sunderland (disambiguation), rather than leave it in draft-space.

I should reiterate that the above example is not a simple swap of a page A and another page B, which is the common scenario when the title of a single article changes, and the new primary name is a former alternate name that redirected to the primary name. As far as I can see from the existing documentation, page movers are only authorized to make this sort of move without admin assistance.

When there is no primary topic for a title, then there is always a page with (disambiguation) in the title that redirects to the disambiguation page at the base name. When something is made the primary topic, the base disambig. is moved over the (disambiguation) redirect, deleting its history. Think of this as musical chairs, where a chair has been removed, so there is no place to "swap" to. Going in the opposite direction where a former primary topic is moved to a disambiguated title, then we add a chair to the game, by leaving behind the redirect when moving the (disambiguation) page to the base title. Page movers should be able to handle the "chair-added" scenario, as it's easier to create a page than delete a page. Please ask for admin assistance in the "removing a chair" scenarios. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 20:22, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Wbm1058: hmph. I'm trying to get my head around that one! I am a page mover so I do have the technical ability to do it. Either way, what is the outstanding task now? Thanks, DrStrauss talk 20:25, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

No outstanding task, for "Sunderland". I finished cleanup to my satisfaction. I'm not sure whether it's been formally discussed before, whether page movers should be authorized to handle this scenario. Might be worth bringing it up for discussion. We would need to get a consensus on the "dumping ground" for the "removed chair". I don't think we should be leaving behind disambiguation page histories on non-disambiguation pages. That's (1) too confusing to follow (2) too close to being the equivalent of a "cut-paste move". wbm1058 (talk) 20:32, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Wbm1058: I believe it was discussed when the page move right was unbundled. DrStrauss talk 20:53, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

I looked at the history of

WP:POPUPS are very helpful. That's the "add a chair" scenario I referred to. So, I started a discussion on the matter at Wikipedia talk:Page mover#Page movers implementing a primary topic. – wbm1058 (talk

) 23:15, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Wbm1058: to be honest I'm not sure what the issue here is - page movers are just as capable as administrators at determining consensus. DrStrauss talk 08:19, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

The issue is not determining consensus. Even before the page-mover rights package was implemented, non-administrators without any particular rights at all were allowed to determine consensus, to some degree, albeit not encouraged to close the more difficult-to-assess discussions. Non-admins and page movers alike can request technical assistance from admins to implement their closes. While the page-mover rights allow you to close many more RMs without help, I'm not sure they allow you to close all RMs without help. The technical issue is moving the page history of Sunderland (disambiguation) to Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. Sunderland, Tyne and Wear is not, and never was, an ambiguous topic. So this is not a valid "round-robin exchange" of two synonymous titles. The whole idea behind page moving is to keep consistent page histories that cover the same topic. wbm1058 (talk) 13:11, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
