Can someone update the ISBN category?

Hi all! I did some work and updated the ISBNs in a few pages in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia/ISBN_errors , could someone make sure the list gets updated with the tool? Thanks! BhamBoi (talk) 03:59, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How far did you get with the instructions? You can update the list yourself. (I have updated it for you this time.) – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:39, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

False positive in CW 105

Hi together, in de:WP CW category 105 reports cases, where a header is integrated into an argument for template de:template:Mehrspaltige Liste as leading part of the argument liste=. In this case you have the (difficult to read for humans) syntax

{{Mehrspaltige Liste |liste==== Headertext ===
 ...}}

where the first = of ==== (4x=) is part of declaring "This is argument 'liste'", while the trailing === (3x) define "here starts a header level 3". It is esp. confusing because it looks like a header with 4 opening = and 3 closing ===, though it is syntactically correct (at least it is interpreted by the Wiki-Software as intended).

This scenario leads to false positives in CW 105.

The reporting can be solved by splitting the 4 = (e.g. liste==== Headertext ===) into

liste=
=== Headertext ==="

, but this is considered an unwanted nulledit by some users.

An example of a change solving this false positive can be found in https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kling_Klang&diff=prev&oldid=229540863 (watch out for text "liste==== Keimzeit" or at least "Keimzeit"). User @Fan-vom-Wiki: has stated, that Visual Editor will delete this separating newline (I have not checked, whether this is true), so that long term more false positives like this will occur, even when being fixed as shown above.

I'm aware that this is a very special case and that it might be difficult to have an exception for this special pattern, but because a growing amount of false positives can be expected I want to ask whether this can be fixed.

Many thanks in advance Bicycle Tourer (talk) 10:49, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this detailled error message. Here is another example: Here I changed some parameters in the template in the Visual-Editor-Mode. The next Edit was that another user inserted a paragraph. So in my point of view, a follwing expression is necessary:

If (German Wikipedia AND first position in the parameter „Text“ in the Template „Mehrspaltige Liste“) Then exclude this error.

Thanks --Fan-vom-Wiki (talk) 15:42, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bicycle Tourer and Fan-vom-Wiki: I have revised the 105 check to ignore this usage pattern. --Bamyers99 (talk) 00:46, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bamyers99: Many thanks for solving this so quickly. --Bicycle Tourer (talk) 11:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well Done! Thank you very much! --Fan-vom-Wiki (talk) 14:05, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Problem edit

Hi, someone who understands how it works might like to look at this edit. It has incorrectly added an additional close to a comment that resulted in the references and categories "vanishing". Probably a rare edge case the script can't handle, but worth fixing if possible. Thanks. MarcGarver (talk) 18:47, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MarcGarver, seems like a GIGO case. Added here. — Qwerfjkl talk 19:01, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add Tewiki on Checkwiki

Hi @Bamyers99, Can you please add tewiki to the Check Wikipedia list? The Translation page is created at te:వికీపీడియా:WikiProject Check Wikipedia/Translation.

Thanks. __Chaduvari (talk) 22:42, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaduvari:

Done, see tewiki --Bamyers99 (talk) 00:58, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tewiki - issue with error_095

@Bamyers99, Tewiki checkwiki report shows there are more than 110000 pages with error_095. I checked a few of those pages, but did not notice any issue there. Even redirect pages are included in the list. Am I doing anything wrong? Or do I need to add something to the whitelist? Appreciate help. Thanks. __Chaduvari (talk) 03:52, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaduvari: I forgot to do a step in the new project setup. I have now done this step. I see that someone is fixing other issues, so if I rerun the 01 February wiki dump, the fixed issues will reappear. The other option is wait for the 20 February wiki dump to run for the 095 errors to disappear. --Bamyers99 (talk) 18:56, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bamyers99: Lets wait until 20th. Thank you. __ Chaduvari (talk) 23:37, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bamyers99: The 21 Feb dump is ready. Can you find time to run now? Thanks. __ Chaduvari (talk) 02:28, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaduvari: The dump processing is automated. It takes days to process all of the different language dumps. --Bamyers99 (talk) 15:18, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Thanks.__ Chaduvari (talk) 00:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exclude template under construction

Please exclude articles with [[template:under construction]] in errors results -Gunyam (talk) 13:39, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gunyam: Should articles with {{in use}} be excluded instead? {{in use}} asks other users to not edit the article, while {{under construction}} invites edits from other editors. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 15:15, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gunyam: Which error number do you want this excluded from? --Bamyers99 (talk) 15:33, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It may not be a good idea to exclude pages in article space from any error checks. Live articles that are visible to the world should not have syntax errors in them, even if they are actively being expanded or revised. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:50, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bamyers99 @GoingBatty @Jonesey95 +1 so, lets settle then. i withdrew. i agree with Jonesey95. -Gunyam (talk) 16:22, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Error 3 reference list missing te.wikipedia

Many articles reflist are fixed. But it shows a lot of them as unfixed. Checked 15 articles and all of them are fixed. -03:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC) రుద్రుడు (talk) 03:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are two additional templates in Tewiki which are redirects to "Template:reflist". The number of transclusions of these templates nearly matches the CheckWiki list. These two template names were included in the "WikiProject Check Wikipedia/Translation" after the first dump was taken. I presume, the next dump will be devoid of this error (ID #003). __Chaduvari (talk) 04:48, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

defaultsort with special characters error on te.wikipedia

Whenever i add or articles with DEFAULTSORT on telugu wikipedia, shows error: "defaultsort with special characters". Defaultsort is applicable to english language only? ping @Chaduvari and @NicoV also. I am using wpcleaner. రుద్రుడు (talk) 12:53, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi రుద్రుడు. By default, only a very limited set of characters are considered as ok (see list). For a given wiki, I can add a list of authorized characters in WPCleaner. You just need to tell me what characters are valid. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 15:15, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Flagging ref names as dupes

It seems bn:‎২০২২ সাফ অনূর্ধ্ব-১৮ মহিলা চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপ‎ flagging <ref name="IND2022" /> as dupes? రుద్రుడు (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@రుద్రుడు: What error number are you referring to? --Bamyers99 (talk) 15:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did not save. If i find more, i will note and reply. రుద్రుడు (talk) 08:22, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@రుద్రుడు: Are you sure it was flagged as dupes? Because on the version before you edited it with WPCleaner, the ref was flagged because there are no references tag (or equivalent template) after. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 21:55, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Daily scan german CheckWiki

Moin Moin together from Germany, hello Bamyers99, the last daily scan from the german CheckWikipedia is two day ago, can you check if there is a task is not running? King Regards --Crazy1880 (talk) 08:55, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Crazy1880: Thanks for the report. The program that dispatches the dump scans and daily scans uses an api (url) to submit the jobs, that api was blocked without notice. I have recoded the job submitter to use a different api. The daily scans are running, however, only 3 can run simultaneously (currently dewiki, enwiki, eswiki). The rest are queued and waiting. The dump scans are running, however, only 2 can run simultaneously (currently alswiki, afwiki). --Bamyers99 (talk) 21:51, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Works, thanks Bamyers99 ;) Regards --Crazy1880 (talk) 09:17, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Error 23 strange

Per suggestion deleted </nowiki>. It seems wrong? Correct? రుద్రుడు (talk) 08:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@రుద్రుడు: The fix is correct. The closing /nowiki tag was missing an opening nowiki tag. --Bamyers99 (talk) 15:09, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

error 32, advice

bn:.নেট ফ্রেমওয়ার্ক has [[ไฟล์:DotNET3.0Stack.png|থাম্ব|333x333পিক্সেল|ডটনেট ফ্রেমওয়ার্ক ৩.০ আর্কিটেকচার]]. Its nothing but a variant of file [Image] in this case. It shows error: "Article contains a link like [[text|text2|text3]] (displays as text2|text3) or [[text||text3]] (displays as |text3)". advice! రుద్రుడు (talk) 09:47, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@రుద్రుడు: I don't see this article in the error 32 list. A check of the article does not show the error either. The : in the link causes the multiple |s to be ignored by error 32 and not reported. --Bamyers99 (talk) 16:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@రుద్రుడు: I see the error with WPCleaner, but it's normal because there's indeed a problem. Look at the page there's a red line displaying

থাম্ব|333x333পিক্সেল|ডটনেট ফ্রেমওয়ার্ক ৩.০ আর্কিটেকচার

error 10, suggesting correctly?

For error 10 on bn:আকৃতি it is suggesting [[উপবৃত্ত]] ] or [[উপবৃত্ত ]] instead of [[উপবৃত্ত]]. Correct? రుద్రుడు (talk) 02:35, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi రుద్రుడు. This is an issue with WPCleaner, not Check Wikipedia (which only detects problems). I will look into it. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 19:05, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi రుద్రుడు. It should be fixed in WPCleaner. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 14:18, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible new error?

I was thinking that there could be an error relating to redirects without rcats (redirects which don’t have Template:Rcat shell, which should have things like Template:R from chemical formula for example). This would increase redirect maintenance categorisation, which, as said here, should happen. greyzxq ^talk 19:14, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add kn wiki for checkwiki errors

@Bamyers99 please add kn wiki for checkwiki errors. Translation page https://kn.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%95%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%AA%E0%B3%80%E0%B2%A1%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%AF:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia/Translation రుద్రుడు (talk) 12:36, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bots can not cope with <noinclude> tag

Resolved

noted message v2.05b - Bot T19 CW#83 - Fix errors for CW project (Heading start with three "=" and later with level two) undo Tag: WPCleaner on page that had subclusion text I was monitoring and sure enough bot had created mess in the master page which was easy to correct for me but perhaps not others.

Apologies if known issue but can not read back through lots of talk pages. Current bot logic can not detect case where a subcluded portion of a page might have a higher level heading in noinclude tag after the part to be subcluded which for this reason has lower level headings. Issue in this case created by a best practice attribution heading because some of current subcluded text contributed over the years on master page. I have got around this feature by using trim template and its #section-h functionality and creating higher level heading first in a noinclude section and such read better so no harm. However some human editors might not understand the noinclude directives used to get around this bot behaviour and so remove them and will not know of such templates so create such pages for simple subclusion. I also note that bots do not read inline comments with artificial intelligence yet so minor heading issues may continue in subcluded pages at random.ChaseKiwi (talk) 19:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ChaseKiwi. Sorry, I didn't see your message earlier.

I've modified WPCleaner to avoid applying fixes for CW#83 on pages with either includeonly, noinclude or onlyinclude tags.

Ping me if the problem is still happening. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 20:51, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great, should help other editors not aware of trim template functionality ChaseKiwi (talk) 09:02, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

use of break tag in wikitable

Perhaps, this is one kind of thousand, but i found use of break tag in wikitable. ex: section "ಟಿಕೆಟ್ ದರಗಳು" on ಪುಣೆ ಮೆಟ್ರೊ. Just bringing to your attention. రుద్రుడు (talk) 09:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi రుద్రుడు. Yes, break tags are valid syntax for wiki pages. What is the problem ? --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 12:36, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

er#69 isbn with incorrect syntax on svg file

Hi రుద్రుడు. Does it happen only in WPCleaner, or also on checkwiki ?

There's no way for the tools to know this template parameter is a file name, so it checks also for ISBN syntax there and reports a false positive. You can configure a whitelist page like enwiki (parameter error_069_whitelistpage_enwiki and the list) if you want to remove it from the detection, or otherwise, simply ignore it. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 12:35, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi రుద్రుడు. This template doesn't seem to be configured for error 3, only for error 78. So, it's normal. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 13:49, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

reference list missing not shown due to మూలాలు సమీక్షించండి?

Something strange is happening on te wiki. te:ఆప్టికల్ మౌస్ has మూలాలు సమీక్షించండి on top of article. This article is not listed on error 3. See also somewhat related error? Keeping @NicoV in loop. రుద్రుడు (talk) 01:44, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi రుద్రుడు. I think that for both CW#3 and CW#78, the parameter templates is not a list of templates, but a list of regular expressions for templates. You currently have మూలాలు in the configuration, so any template that starts with మూలాలు (like మూలాలు సమీక్షించండి) is counted. If you want to clearly limit to the template with this exact name, you should add \s*[|}] (any number of whitespace characters, then a pipe or a closing bracket), like on some other lines (RE\s*[|}]). --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 09:12, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Errors 553, 554 555, 562 & 565 have same head text

Errors 553, 554 555, 562 & 565 contain same text: error_5xx_head_xxwiki=<nowiki> tags END in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia/Translation. Its confusing unless you read corresponding error_5xx_desc_xxwiki=. Keeping @NicoV in loop. రుద్రుడు (talk) 07:20, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi రుద్రుడు. FYI, errors 5xx are pure WPCleaner, they're not handled at all by checkwiki project.

All these errors are about nowiki tags, but different situations, so needing a really different code, that's why I split them. I voluntarily used the same short description so that they're merged in the comment generated by WPCleaner. You can use different short description if you want on your wiki, WPCleaner will simply add the description of each in the edit comment when they are concerned. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 07:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
