Coordinates parameter cleanup

I wonder if you would be willing to run your bot (task 7) through the articles listed under "Ω" at Category:Pages using infobox settlement with unknown parameters. There are thousands of pages (I estimate about 48,000 articles) to be cleaned up with edits like this and this. Thanks for considering it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:40, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: Without Template:Geobox coor/sandbox2 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) none will be converted to {{coord}}, just removed. If that's okay, then yes. — JJMC89 06:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My sense is that there are thousands of infoboxes with blank lat/long parameters but N/S/E/W filled in because of copying and pasting from an example template or article. Those N/S/E/W values are not displayed and are safe to delete as long as the lat/long are blank. You should be able to do an initial pass with an automated version of the exact replacement that I did manually: "\|latd=\s*\|latm=\s*\|lats=\s*\|latNS=[NS]\s*\|longd=\s*\|longm=\s*\|longs=\s*\|longEW=[EW]" replaced with nothing. Then we can look to see what is left. I just looked at a dozen random articles, and they all followed this pattern. – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:01, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm busy IRL, so I'll look at this once things have calmed down. — JJMC89 05:19, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SAFESUBST

Is this the thing that summons AnomieBOT? —usernamekiran(talk) 11:41, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: No, that would be Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted, which is added by {{subst only|auto=yes}}. See WP:SAFESUBST for information on it. — JJMC89 15:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I the category before contacting you. But in the history of the template, I can't see the category being added. —usernamekiran(talk) 17:20, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernamekiran: {{subst only}} is on the doc subpage. — JJMC89 04:04, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Chios Mastiha Liqueur

Good morning, there is a great deal of confusion as a result of a redirect of Chios Mastiha Liquer page to Chios Mastiha. Chios Mastiha is a resin from a plant which has many applications while Chios Mastiha Liqueur is a liqueur made from the resin. Right now it appears that Chios Mastiha is a liqueur which is very confusing. I see that you have made the redirect would you kindly advise how this can be corrected. Apologies as I am not familiar with Wikipedia processes. Thank you 62.38.74.66 (talk) 10:06, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted an undiscussed move. You should start a discussion about the title. — JJMC89 20:37, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Minister of Artsakh

Hi We should move the article to Prime Minister of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic because the office has been abolished when the constitutional changes came into force. --Panam2014 (talk) 18:58, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Panam2014: I suggest starting a discussion about the title. I don't have any knowledge of the subject; I only reverted a set of disruptive moves. — JJMC89 20:39, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

I found this following edit summary for Signals, Crane and Subway, Charters Towers railway station

Editor's summary: Task 15: Lowercase per RfC

Charters Towers is in Australia, not China. Just thought I'd mention it in case the bot has escaped its geographic confines. Kerry (talk) 06:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) The decision is that Chinese stations and others should conform to the convention used elsewhere (emphasis added). The list of stations on which the bot is operating is linked from the BRFA. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:33, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then it would seem sensible that the edit summary said that and save me the waste of time reporting what appears to be erroneous behaviour. So am I not supposed to question the operation of a bot especially one that is driven by the mysterious BRFA? Kerry (talk) 00:37, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Edit summaries have limited characters. Even the current one is too long to fit in the history for that page. — JJMC89 04:14, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Kerry Raymond: The edit summary clearly links to "Task 15", which goes to the BRFA. The RFC and the list of pages on which the bot is operating is linked from there. Given limited characters, I don't think it could be clearer. If you have a concrete suggestion for a different edit summary, please make it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:04, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

And very happy holidays. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:57, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, 99, happy holidays! — JJMC89 04:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Zagula

Thanks for editing the page I created. I'm new to Wikipedia so would love some help. What is Linkrot? I read the page on Wiki about it and all the references I used are active and independent. Is there anyway I can improve the page? Appreciate your help. Wikilover2604 (talk) 04:12, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
