WikiCleaner is a tool designed to help with various maintenance tasks, especially repairing links to disambiguation pages and checking Wikipedia. If you have suggestions or remarks about WikiCleaner, please tell us at the WikiCleaner talk page.

WikiCleaner is available for several versions of Wikipedia (Afrikaans, Arabic, Catalan, Czech, Welsh, Danish, Deutsch, English, Esperanto, Spanish, Finnish, French, West Frisian, Scottish Gaelic, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Low Saxon, Dutch Low Saxon, Dutch, Norwegian, Pennsylvania German, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Yiddish, Chinese) and others can be added.

It can be used in multiple languages (English, French, ...), and others can be added.

The source code is available at this address and all are welcome to contribute in the tool development.

Installation

WikiCleaner was developed in Java, and so it is required that Java be set up prior to installing WikiCleaner. The minimum required version is Java 5, but version 6 is recommended (some features will only be available with the later version).

Installation with Java Web Start

The easiest way to install WikiCleaner is with Java Web Start, using this address (or this one if you're having troubles). During installation, a window will ask you to verify your trust in this program; you must accept for the installation to continue, and to allow usage of WikiCleaner. This is required for 2 reasons:

• To access Wikipedia.
• To save your preferences.

This installation also has the advantage of an automatic update when a new release is available. During each start, Java Web Start will check if a new release is available and will automatically download it. (Note: given the way Java Web Start is working, the update may only download during the next run of the application).

Note: If you ever encounter strange errors when trying to start WikiCleaner (Error signature, Error system is offline, ...), it may a be problem with Java Web Start cache. It happens rarely, but a few cases of these problems have been reported. To solve it, you can try two things:

• Purge the Java cache. Under Windows, you can do this in the Config Panel / Java / Temporary Internet Files / display / Resources.
• Uninstall WikiCleaner and install it again.

Manual installation

It is also possible to manually install WikiCleaner by downloading this file. In this case, updates will also have to be performed manually. To run WikiCleaner:

  java -classpath WikipediaCleanerFull.jar org.wikipediacleaner.WikipediaCleaner

or

  java -jar WikipediaCleanerFull.jar

This has been tested on:

• Debian GNU/Linux "testing" amd64 using java provided by sun-java6-jre.
• OpenSUSE (11.x) Linux using Sun Jave6-jre

Network configuration

If you have a special network configuration (proxy, ...), you may need to further do some configuration.

The best way to configure network access for WikiCleaner is probably to use Java configuration. For example, under Windows:

• Go to the Config panel / Java / General / Network parameters.
• Configure the network parameters.

Starting Wikipedia Cleaner

If the Java Web Start installation is complete, an icon will be added to your desktop. Double clicking it will start WikiCleaner. During startup, an automatic update is done if a new release is available (may require another startup for update to download).

If you want to show on your user page that you're using Wikipedia Cleaner, you can use {{User:Night of the Big Wind/WikiCleaner}} which will add the following user box

	Dedicated user of WikiCleaner.

Current disambiguation list

The Current disambiguation list window displays all the disambiguation pages that are listed in the current database dump. You reach this window by clicking on the Current Disambiguation List button of the main window. This window is very similar to the Watched pages window.

Repairing links in a page

The Analysis window is used to repair all the links to disambiguation pages on the opened article. You reach this window by clicking on the Full analysis button of the main window. This window looks like this:

This window contains the following parts:

• The title of the page that you are repairing, i.e. Antalla.

• The Tools menu is used to fix redirect links and view the page with the templates' code included.

  

• The Options menu is used to select what type of pages are shown in the list and what type are counted.

  

• The Sort menu is used to choose how the list of links is sorted. Sort orders can be configured to suit your needs. (See Sorting options).

• The Close after sending checkbox specifies if the window will be automatically closed after sending the page to Wikipedia.
• The Add a note on talk page checkbox specifies if you want to post a comment on the talk page of the article after sending the page to Wikipedia.
• The Update disambiguation warning on talk page checkbox specifies if you want to update the disambiguation warning on talk page if it's already there.
• The Create disambiguation warning on talk page checkbox specifies if you want to add the disambiguation warning on talk page if there are still links to disambiguation pages.

• The Automatic comment checkbox specifies if you want to use the default comment when updating the page on Wikipedia.

• The , , and buttons find other occurrences of the links you have selected in the list.
• The and buttons undo or redo a modification you have made.
• The button let you see and edit the table of contents of the article.
• The button validates your modifications. It updates the count of links found for each disambiguation page in the left list, updates the main display, and memorizes the new text (for Undo/Redo).
• The button updates the page on Wikipedia. It is unavailable until a modification has been made on the page.
• The button updates the disambiguation warning on the talk page.
• The button reloads the page from Wikipedia (your current modifications will be lost).
• The button opens the current page in your web browser.
• The button opens the current page history in your web browser.
• The Add to Watch list button adds the page on your local Wikipedia Cleaner watch list.
• The button opens a new window to analyze the page as a disambiguation page.

• On the left, there is a list of links found in the page. In the above example, you can see that the page Antalla contains links to 2 disambiguation pages (Algheden and Barentu), followed by the number of occurrences (in this case, one each). You can right click on any item in the list to bring a contextual menu with useful features.
• Above the list are the button, which allows you to analyze the selected page(s) in the list, the button which allows you to analyze the selected page(s) as a disambiguation page, and the Add to watch list button which allows you to add the selected page(s) to your local watchlist.
• Below, the list of links, there is a list of errors detected by the Check Wikipedia project.
• On the right is the text of the current page. You can right click in the text on an internal link [[...]], a template {{...}} or an external link [http://...] to bring up a contextual menu that has useful features.

By selecting a page (or several) in the left list, the matching links are highlighted in the text (in bold, with either red, orange, or blue), and the display is shifted (if necessary) to show the first link found. Dealing with the individual situations is described below.

Dealing with links displayed in red

By selecting a page in the left list, some matching links are highlighted in the text in bold and in red. This is used when WPCleaner thinks that the links need to be repaired. By clicking with the right button of your mouse, a contextual menu is displayed, letting you do semi-automatic modifications.

The available options in this menu are:

• Link to: Move the link to another page, but keep the displayed text. Links to wiktionary pages are also available when necessary.
• Replace with: Move the link to another page, and change the displayed text.
• Add to preferred disambiguations: Add a link to the list of preferred links to solve this disambiguation. Preferred links appears first in the Link to and Replace with options.
• Reverse to ...: Swap the link and the text ([[xx|yy]] becomes [[yy|xx]]).
• Remove link: Remove the link to the disambiguation page, keeping only the displayed text.
• Mark as normal link: Mark the link as being correct.
• Mark as needing help: Request for help to fix this link and, by default, let you write a comment in the talk page.

• Current chapter: Display the current chapter.

• Analyze: Analyze the page of the selected link. This allows you to study the content of the page before repairing the link.
• External Viewer: Display the page of the selected link in your web browser.
• History: Display the history of the selected link in your web browser.
• Disambiguation analysis: Analyze the page of the selected link as a disambiguation page.
• Reload links: Reload the list of links.

In the Antalla example, the repairing can be done this way:

• When the page is initially displayed, Algheden and Barentu are automatically selected in the left list and highlighted in the text.
• By right-clicking on the [[Barentu]] link, the contextual menu is displayed. By highlighting Link to, we can see the available pages to link to. In this case, Barentu, Eritrea is the correct page. You may fix the link by selecting Link to → Barentu, Eritrea in the menu.
• Click on to validate the modification. The number of links found is updated in the left list. The link to Algheden stays highlighted in the text.
• By right clicking on the [[Algheden]] link, the contextual menu is displayed. The repairing is not obvious in this situation; we don't know what is the correct link. Ask for help by choosing Mark as needing help.
• Click on to be sure that all links have been repaired.
• Click on to update the page on Wikipedia.
• That's it; the Antalla page is almost repaired !

Dealing with links displayed in orange

By selecting a page in the left list, some matching links are highlighted in the text in both bold and orange. This is when the link is either to a redirect page, is broken, or has been marked as needing help. Broken links are signified with a strikethrough. Redirect links can be bypassed either by right-clicking the link in the page text and choosing an option, or clicking on Tools menu on the top left of the window, and selecting the specific page. Links for which help is requested can be dealt with like links displayed in red.

Please note that there are many instances where links to redirect pages or red links should not be 'repaired'.

For guidance, please see the appropriate sections in WP:Redirect or WP:RED.

Dealing with links displayed in blue

By selecting a page in the left list, some matching links are highlighted in the text in both bold and blue. This is when WPCleaner thinks that the link does not need to be repaired, either because it has been previously identified as correctly directing to a disambiguation page, or is just a normal link.

Special situations

In some situations, WPCleaner doesn't find the links to disambiguation pages in the page text. This could be for multiple reasons:

• The link is in a template used in the page. In this situation, it's the template that needs to be repaired to remove the disambiguation link from the page.
• A special situation. If you believe that this situation can happen quite frequently, you can tell me so that I add this situation.

Several features are available to help in these situations:

• Finding a word in the text: either by using Ctrl+F in the text of the page, or by right clicking on the left list (Option Find text in the contextual menu).
• Analyzing templates used in the page: by right clicking on the left list (Option Analyze templates in the contextual menu). This feature displays a separate window listing all the templates in the page that have links to the selected disambiguation page. By double clicking on the template name, a window is displayed to repair the links in the model.

Repairing links to a disambiguation page

The Disambiguation window is used to find pages linking to a disambiguation page. You reach this window by clicking on the Disambiguation Analysis button of the main window. This window looks like this:

This window contains the following parts:

• The title of the page you are analyzing.

• The Tools menu is used to preview your modifications.
• The Sort menu is used to apply a different sort order for the list of pages linking to this disambiguation page.

• The button reloads the page from Wikipedia (your current modifications will be lost).
• The button opens the current page in your web browser.
• The button updates the page on Wikipedia.
• The Add to Watch list button adds the page on your local WikiCleaner watch list.
• The button opens a new window to analyze this page.

• On the left, there is a list of pages linking to this page. A right click on one page in the list displays a contextual menu which allows to:
  • tell if this normal for this page to be linked to the current page (it will be displayed in green in the list), or if it's not normal (in orange),
  • to analyze the page,
  • to open the page in your web browser.
• Above the list,
  • the Select next links button select the next links in the list. The number of selected links is configurable,
  • the button, which allows you to analyze the selected page(s),
  • the button, which allows you to analyze the selected page(s) as a disambiguation page.
  • the button, which allows you to open the selected page(s) in your web browser.

• On the right is the text of the current page.

• Below the text is a tool for Automatic disambiguation fixing.

Be extremely careful with automatic disambiguation fixing, as it enables you to modify a lot of pages automatically rather quickly. To explain how it works, we will use the example of the Georgia dab page:

• • We can be sure that when we find [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia]], we can safely replace it by [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], so we can use the button to add this rule.
  • We can be sure that when we find [[Tbilisi]], [[Georgia]], we can safely replace it by [[Tbilisi]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], so we can use the button to add this rule.
  • We can now select pages in the list on the left (I suggest starting with only a few pages, to be sure that the above rules work correctly).
  • The button starts the automatic replacements in the selected pages. You may be required to use this feature under a Bot account to comply with Wikipedia rules.

Check Wikipedia

The Check Wikipedia window is used to fix errors detected by the Check Wikipedia project. You can reach this window by clicking on the Project Check Wikipedia button of the main window. This window looks like this:

This window contains the following parts:

• The Maximum number of errors for Check Wiki field specifies how many errors are retrieved for each type of error.
• The Select errors button is used to select the types of error to retrieve.
• The Load all errors button is used to retrieve errors from the toolserver.

• The List of errors detected dropdown list is used to select the type of error to work on.
• The button is used to retrieve again the errors for the selected type of error.
• The button is used to display a page describing the selected type of error in your web browser.
• The button is used to display the list of the toolserver in your web browser.

• A field describing the selected type of error.
• A field describing parameters that WPCleaner can use for the selected type of error.

• On the left, the list of pages for which the selected type of error has been detected.
• Above this list, the Load pages button is used to load the selected pages in the right part of the window to fix them.

• On the right, a tab is created for each loaded page. Each tab contains the following parts:
  • The Automatic comment checkbox specify if you want to use the default comment when editing the page.
  • The , , and buttons find other occurrences of the errors in the page.
  • The button is used to validate your modifications. It updates the detection of errors in the page.
  • The button updates the page on Wikipedia. It is unavailable until a modification has been made on the page.
  • The Mark as fixed button is used to tell the toolserver that the error is already fixed.
  • The button opens the current page in your web browser.
  • The button opens the history of the current page in your web browser.
  • The button opens a new window to analyze the page.
  • On the left, the list of errors detected in the page.
  • On the right, the text of the page.

Leaving a comment on a talk page

The New section window is used to add a comment on the article's talk page. You reach this window by checking the Add a note on talk page checkbox in the Analysis window. This window looks like this:

This window contains the following parts:

• The Title field is the title of your comment.
• The Signature button adds your signature to your comment.
• The Force watching page checkbox adds the page to your watchlist in Wikipedia.
• Below is the text of your comment.
• The Article contents area displays the text of the associated article.
• The Validate button adds your comments in Wikipedia.
• The Cancel button closes this window without posting a comment.

Watching pages

Just as when you are working directly on Wikipedia, you can create and maintain your own watchlist in WikiCleaner. For example, when you have finished repairing links to a disambiguation page, you can add this disambiguation page to your watch list and memorize the number of pages normally linking to it so that you will easily detect new links to it.

You reach the Watched pages window by clicking on the Watched pages button of the main window. This window looks like this:

This window contains the following parts:

• A table listing the pages that you have chosen to watch, with the following information available:
  • Page: the page name.
  • D: checked if it is a disambiguation page.
  • R: checked if it is a redirect page.
  • Main: number of pages in the Main namespace linking to this page.
  • All: number of pages in all namespaces linking to this page.
  • {{.}}: number of pages in the Template namespace linking to this page.
  • Comments: your own comments about the page. You can change them with the Set page comments button.

    Note: the information displayed in the Main, All and {{...}} columns are formatted differently depending on several conditions:

    • Empty: the number of pages is unknown. Use the Update page information button to retrieve this information.
    • Grey text on white background: the number of pages is known, but you have not set the normal number of pages (using the Set page comments button).
    • Black text on white background: the number of pages is equal to the normal number of pages.
    • Black text on red background: the number of pages is more than the normal number of pages.
    • Black text on green background: the number of pages is less than the normal number of pages.
• The button opens a new window to analyze the page.
• The button opens a new window to analyze the page as a disambiguation page.
• The button updates the disambiguation warning on the talk page.
• The button updates the Main, All and {{.}} columns information by querying Wikipedia.
• The button saves the comments about this page, and looks like this:

  

  • The OK button saves your changes.
  • The Remove page comments button deletes the comments attached to the page.
  • The Cancel button closes the window.
• The button removes the selected pages from your local watchlist.
• The button adds a page to your local watchlist. Pages can also be added to the watchlist in other windows (Full analysis, Disambiguation analysis, ...)

Analyzing templates
