    Frozen

    Using the beta script, on WP:AfC/R, when I click More▼ then Review (old), the page freezes, as if it's stuck in a loop or something similar. Ollieinc (talk) 10:11, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Technical 13 do you know why? Ollieinc (talk) 05:19, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    This has happened again. Ollieinc (talk) 05:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Apparently the script attempts to clean up external links to Wikipedia and to use wikilinks instead. That mechanism, however, is less than perfect: See for example the "Kharkiv Conservatory" link in the draft's second paragraph here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharkiv_Conservatory About Kharkov Music Conservatory] is turned into [[[Kharkiv Conservatory]] About Kharkov Music Conservatory]. If such a mechanism is considered desirable, it should be able to create piped links when necessary. Huon (talk) 20:17, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The script allows us to add two source locations. The template it uses seems only to list one. An example is Draft:IMerit Technology Services where I wanted to flag three, flagged two because that was the limit and added a third in the comment, and one, only, is displayed in the decline box. There ought to be a pair there Fiddle Faddle 17:09, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • To be honest, I'd rather scrap the whole listing multiple pages and just use the comprehensive Copyvios report. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 22:24, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Timtrent, would that solve your concern about listing multiple pages? Maybe I'd even go so far as to have the comprehensive Copyvios report be there by default and still offer one additional URL in case it wasn't something on the page or something a Google search found? If I hear no objections from anyone, I'll start working on this change in about a week. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 17:53, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm not sure. I use Earwig's tool anyway, and transfer the matches, once I've inspected them, to the AFCH tool. I'll be interested to see what you have in mind. Fiddle Faddle 19:07, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Technical 13: I'd oppose using this tool to do this; It's generally easier to present the links, and allow the reviewer to decide; I've seen a lot of false positives getting overly-high ratings, and if the reviewing admin comes across one of these high-up, they may just decline the speedy. Earwig's tool is useful for information, but it should be up to a human to double check themselves before tagging. --Mdann52talk to me! 12:39, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • Wasn't what I said Mdann. I said having a link to the tool by default (which gives a breakdown of a compassion of the page to all the linked URLs on the page and a Google search then gives an overall rating based on a calculation of all of those scores) AND still having an option to have the one URL, exactly like it is now. What I'm planning on doing is adding a default link to the comprehensive Copyvios report using The Earwig's tool instead of completely redoing the whole template to try and add the ability to add multiple URLs (which is a slippery slope as currently there is one a change would make it so there are two, then someone will want three, then someone will want five, then someone will want ten...). — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 14:07, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I updated the Github issue link ("creating a new ticket" above). Fortunately it looks like the last new issue in the old site is from April. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 19:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Milkshake?

    When proposing a merge, the merge-to page defaults to "Milkshake". Is there an inside joke that I'm missing, or wouldn't it be better for this field to default to blank? --Ahecht (TALK
