Compact cites

Any chance I could get you convert to using this cite format: {{cite web |first=Foo |last=Bar |title=Yadda Yadda |work=Doodle Doodle Dee |url= https://blah.org/yak/yak/ |date=MM DD, YYYY or DD MM YYYY |access-date=MM DD, YYYY or DD MM YYYY}}? They're much easier to read and edit when the entire parameter code and value are grouped (other than a space after |url= helps with line-wrapping issues when a URL is long).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  16:57, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SMcCandlish, I generally use web cite, for speed. Is there any way to alter the string that is displayed from this service? Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:06, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea! Guess I should look.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:14, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, well that seems to be a website that works a bit like web.archive.org; is there some WebCite-connecting tool you're using to generate citation code?  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:17, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I went through their web-based archival submission, and in the end I got something like this as the citation data: Jarnow, Jesse. The Ghost of John Perry Barlow Lives in His Posthumous Memoir. Wired. 2018-08-01. URL:https://www.wired.com/story/the-ghost-of-john-perry-barlow-lives-in-his-posthumous-memoir/. Accessed: 2018-08-01. (Archived by WebCite® at http://www.webcitation.org/71M3L9tpX) For URL's they provided: http://www.webcitation.org/71M3L9tpX and the long-form version http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fstory%2Fthe-ghost-of-john-perry-barlow-lives-in-his-posthumous-memoir%2F&date=2018-08-01. But this doesn't seem to have much to do with our citation template spacing. Maybe there's some widget that auto-generate such matter.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:27, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
SMcCandlish I've also been using WebRef for these types of citations. I'm not sure if this is even editable in terms of layout. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:42, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lee, try instaling User:Sam Sailor/Scripts/Tidy citations.js. Four options for citation template spacing are available:

For consistent date formats we have User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates. It can even do Body+pub dates to either dmy or mdy, and then set |archive-date= and |access-date= to big-endian YYYY-MM-DD, something some editors seem to prefer in SMcCandlish's recent proposal. I must say as he, I regularly set all dates both in the body and in citations to either dmy or mdy, and I have never heard people complaining. Sam Sailor 07:53, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Sam Sailor! I'll take a look at your first tool. I already regularly use the MOSNUM script, it's really good. Personally, I agree that the dates should be consistent. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:12, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have added the script, but other than leaving an edit summary, it does not change any citations. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:31, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Sam Sailor: Wish I'd known about this earlier! I'm already working on a tweaked version (I don't need the "crammed" or "roomy" variants, and I want it to also do some other stuff: use the hyphenated canonical forms of |access-date=, etc.; insert a space after url= despite otherwise removing spaces (helps with line wrapping); convert |year= to |date= (I think there's some test that needs to be done – there's a rare circumstance in which |year= is actually preferred); detect and warn (in auto-editsummary) about |author=; convert |vauthors= to valid metadata (separate |firstRed XN= |lastRed XN= plus the formatting parameter for Vancouver cites); remove empty |df= and other empty params that aren't likely to be filled |quote=, etc.); detect and warn about ".com" and other common TLDs in |publisher=, almost always a confusion of that parameter with |work=. I haven't actually tried anything yet other than removing the crammed and roomy versions yet. My JS is rusty, and I got other stuff to do today.

PS: Is it using == instad of === for null comparisons for a reason?  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:14, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SMcCandlish: Glad you liked it. Come to think about it, I normally use either "tidy" or "tidy vertically", I doubt I have used "roomy" much and I doubt I have used "crammed" at all. JS is on my list of things to learn before I die; I did not code any part of this, and I can't answer your question.
@Lee: Script works fine here (ex., ex.), are you running wikEd or something else that takes over the text edit box? Sam Sailor 08:19, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Sam Sailor - Certainly not WikiEd. MOSNUM script works perfectly well, but the tidy cite script simply leaves an edit summary, and does no changes to the text. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:54, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is the symptom, if wikEd is on. Same thing happens if Syntax highlighting. Could that be the case? Sam Sailor 15:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sam Sailor I've checked my gadgets, and I don't have either. I'm not sure if there is something blocking it from my common java. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:50, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think syntax highlighter is a gadget we need to turn on (I could be wrong), for me it is available on the highlighter marker button in the advanced menu when in edit mode. Did you check that? Sam Sailor 15:55, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You have Tidy installed twice, is that the culprit? Sam Sailor 15:57, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly not, I had it only installed once, but I tried bringing it in also via the Script installer, to see if that was the issue. It showed on the left the options twice, but the citations were not tidied. I have removed one instance. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:59, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sam Sailor - Success. It was the Syntax Highlighter. I didn't even know that was what that button did. Thanks a bunch. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:02, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good to hear – micro-successes count! Sam Sailor 16:09, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I use the syntax highlighter (and like it). If using it via Gadget is a bad thing, I'd be amenable to some other way of using it. However, the one turned on by the button is a completely different (and less effective) syntax highlighter than the gadget one. I could live with it I guess. Since you know more about the script interaction effects of it, maybe see if the behavior is different depending on which highlighter is on? I'm not sure what symptoms with which citation-related script you're seeing bad interactions with the highlighter (either of them).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:12, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the help. It looks like you don't need more documentation but just ask if you have questions. I can also contribute championship data later but now we would just get edit conflicts. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:

  • South Carolina Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
  • Hel, Poland Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
  • Scotland Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
  • Other contestants who qualified for the final round were Marshall Islands Nova Crystallis, Republic of Texas Iazyges, Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack and United States Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Godot13, Sturmvogel 66, Vanamonde and Cwmhiraeth.
