ARA, section, reflist [multiple issues] July 23, 2013

Fixed

Hi JJ. Thank you for ARA, great tool. Forgive me if the following matter has been brought to your attention before, I did a search and could not find it mentioned. When editing this section I noticed that ARA suggested to fix a mising reflist. The article as such has a Reference setion with a reflist. Best, Sam 🎤 08:04, 23 July 2013 (UTC) Done[reply]

Hi again JJ. Another little thing that I can't figure out if has been reported previously. I had added a ref to Ferrari F2004 and ARA gave me the "missing Reflist fix" warning. Here it what seems to be the case. Done

Because the appendix looks like this

==See also== {{Commons category}} * [[Ferrari F2002]] * [[Ferrari F2003-GA]] * [[Ferrari F2005]]

Fixing it with ARA results in

==See also== ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Commons category}} * [[Ferrari F2002]] * [[Ferrari F2003-GA]] * [[Ferrari F2005]]

The culprit seems to be {{Commons category}} placed before the See also list. If {{Commons category}} is moved below the list, there is no problem. I have left the Ferrari F2004 article untouched for your testing. If you want to add a ref and remove the unref tag, you can use this source: <ref name="Acerbi2006">{{cite book|author=Leonardo Acerbi|title=Ferrari: A Complete Guide to All Models|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=AcadRoNSWeEC&pg=PA361|accessdate=2 August 2013|year=2006|publisher=MotorBooks International|isbn=978-0-7603-2550-6|pages=361–|quote=The Ferrari F2004 looked like a logical evolution of the previous season's F2003-GA, at least as far as its exterior lines were concerned.

Similar problem, only now the Reflist gets too far down and (sort of) "violates" WP:ORDER: Try insert this source <ref name="ArmstrongClark2008">{{cite book|author1=Kate Armstrong|author2=Michael Clark|author3=Chris Deliso|title=Greek Islands|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=4PDWSOx4lUwC&pg=PA128|accessdate=2013-08-07|year=2008|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=978-1-74104-314-3|pages=128–|quote=At least three ferries daily leave Andros' main port of Gavrio ...

I hope I don't sound like a stickler when I mention these cases for you. ARA is a real time saver, and I use it daily. Best, Sam 🎤 07:06, 7 August 2013 (UTC) Done[reply]

One more in Graphical timeline from Big Bang to Heat Death. The comment outside square brackets in the last See also entry seems to be the challenge here. Useful ref: <ref name="Betts">{{cite book|author=Patrick Betts|title=Astrophysics|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=k8WShzLxoYYC&pg=PA234|accessdate=14 August 2013|publisher=PediaPress|pages=234–|id=GGKEY:PHFJL5YKE00}}</ref> - Best, Sam 🎤 08:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC) Done[reply]

Hi again JJ. In article Dato' Keramat LRT station I noticed, that when the section heading for External links is written with cap L, ==External Links==, fixing a missing reflist with ARA will put ==References== below the EL section. Best, Sam 🎤 10:04, 22 August 2013 (UTC) Done[reply]

Invalid ref position function error October 4, 2013

On hold until error occurs again

I know the invalid ref position function has a problem of always picking the first instance of <ref> tags when there is a continuing problem of </ref>. instances in the article. — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 17:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've only encountered an issue with this function in one article, so I won't address this problem until it happens again. — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 14:37, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

v t e Missing ref groups function error October 11, 2013 Fixed
If reference groups such as "nb" are present, the Reflist group isn't added as it's supposed to. Done — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 20:14, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply] The reference group is added, but I think there is a problem with the unnecessary ref groups function that is displaying an 'undefined' fix link. Done — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 20:34, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should add function to modify "unreferenced" and "no footnotes" tags October 23, 2013

Added

If ARA adds a {{reflist}} and a {{no footnotes}} is present alter it to {{more footnotes|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} }}, or if {{unreferenced}} is present alter it to {{refimprove|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}}. -- PBS (talk) 17:43, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In progress. I'll look into this. — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 21:04, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Half done @PBS I added a function to the script to remove the tags if <ref> tags and the {{reflist}} template is present, but it won't add {{refimprove}} because not all articles need more references. That/(those) added citations could have completely verified all statements in the (especially if a small) article. — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 23:25, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

v t e Possible outdated template function error October 24, 2013 Fixed
I encountered an error that deletes the entire article instead of only deleting the template. — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 14:50, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply] Done I had an off-by-one error, trying to access characters beyond the length of the article. — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 15:13, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Glitch when removing inapplicable tag February 12, 2015

Fixed

Hi JJJ, and thanks for ARA. Have a look at this edit. Best, -- Sam ^Sing! 14:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam Sailor: Hey Sam, sorry I took so long to respond and fix this issue. It appears that the issue was because the inapplicable tag was included in a {{multiple issues}} tag. I believe I have fixed the issue. If you encounter this issue again, please let me know. — TheJJJunk ^{(say hello)} 22:48, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notelist

Hi JJJ. Try open Ahn Sang-hong in edit mode. A {{notelist}} is present under a level-3 heading, and ARA will suggest "missing notelist^fix". Fixing adds a second {{notelist}}, breaking the heading markup. Thanks for keeping the script updated. Sam Sailor 11:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TheJJJunk: On Santiago Bustos, ARA suggested to add a notelist without notes. Why? 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 17:26, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1234qwer1234qwer4: I believe the script improperly recognized the lower-alpha in {{Reflist|group=lower-alpha}} as a note. — TheJJJunk ^{(say hello)} 22:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TheJJJunk, any chance you can fix this? 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 22:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1234qwer1234qwer4: I could fix it. Not sure when I can get some time to do so, however. — TheJJJunk ^{(say hello)} 22:51, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Occasional freezing

Hi JJJ.

ARA.js will occasionally freeze. I tried to blank my common.js, vector.js and global.js and only run ARA, and still, it happens. When I insert a citation in <ref>...</ref> tags, *bamm* it halts. The console says:

Error: Script terminated by timeout at: index.php:805:17 
getARARules/<@https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ATheJJJunk%2FARA.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:805:17

getARAFunctions/ARA_Functions.scan@https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ATheJJJunk%2FARA.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:299:31

This only happen occasionally. I have tried to think about if the pages on which it happens have anything in common, but I see no pattern. Still it is a great tool, thank you once again. Hope you are well. Sam Sailor 16:30, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
