Templates

Resolved

Blocked because you were breaking thousands of pages by putting interwikis on templates without noincluding them; e.g. {{Clade}}, {{Attribution}}, {{User ang-3}}, {{GSE}}, {{Floor}}, {{Euronext3}}, {{Efron}}, {{Gallery}}, {{User fr-5}}.... Hesperian 04:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interwiki.py does not function well in templatespace. Please do not run the bot there. –xeno ^talk 04:07, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for blocking and reverting the bot. It will not run it again in templatespace. --Maurits (talk) 17:41, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. –xeno ^talk 17:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File: vs. Image:

Please remove this from your list of edits. It is helpful to use image: instead of file:, if that is what they are, because it is more descriptive. Thanks. 199.125.109.77 (talk) 15:44, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, blindly replacing WP: with Wikipedia: does nothing and should not be done. For example, you changed the link WP:RS to Wikipedia:RS, yet both are redirects. 199.125.109.77 (talk) 15:57, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, The bot's name was mentioned here: Wikipedia:ANI#File: vs. Image:. –xeno ^talk 13:42, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the questions and reactions. From Wikipedia:ANI#File:_vs._Image: I conclude that the image: namespace has been deprecated by file:. As for the second question, I do not see the problem. Indeed, it does nothing, however, it is more clear. Therefore, I will keep running the bot as it is. Note that I do not run it as a stand-alone (which is not without reason disencouraged even in the script itself), but only in combination with interwiki.py.
