"Watching" article does´t work
[edit]Extended content
|
---|
Since I by now have 4000+ articles “watched", I have my preferences “ticked” for “Hide bot edits from the watchlist”. However, this means that I do not see the changes done *before* a bot edited, either! Take a look at AnomieBOT (talk · contribs), and “watch” some of the latest articles it edited, and you will see what I mean. This is not good; a vandal could e.g. insert some vandalism, then write {{Citation needed}} knowing that a bot would be along very soon to add {{Citation needed|date=September 2015}} …and none of the people “watching” that article would note it (if they have “ticked” for “Hide bot edits from the watchlist”.) I noticed the problem on Beit Hanina: I could not see that an IP had removed substantial material, as AnomieBOT had come along with "Rescuing orphaned refs." Is this something the developers are aware of? Can they please change it, so we will see the edits done *before* the bot-edit? Also, either I have just been very slow, or this is a “new” feature. At least: I have never noticed it before, and I have had the ignore “bot edits from the watchlist” option for years.

Search request is longer than the maximum allowed length
[edit]Extended content
|
---|
Many searches I use to find errors are now coming back with the message "An error has occurred while searching: Search request is longer than the maximum allowed length." Indicating that a search string can only be 300 characters long. Examples of such searches are at User:SchreiberBike/Workspace/Centuries1. The only reference to this I can find is at www.mail-archive.com/mediawiki.... What is the reason for this change? Is there a work around? Any other ideas? Thanks,

[edit]- The MediaWiki software does offer the ability to search for links only in a specific namespace, but this functionality is disabled on WikiMedia projects, due to efficiency issues.

CirrusSearch
[edit]Is there any documentation for how the regular expressions in Special:Search work? Its behaviour is peculiar and tends to have weird quirks; searches containing \s
or \n
don't work, for instance. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}
to reply to me 10:29, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Jc86035: There is some documentation at Help:Searching/Draft#Regular_expressions - not the most obvious place for it... -- John of Reading (talk) 10:38, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Wikimedia uses Cirrusearch, which uses elasticsearch, and that in turn uses lucene regex as the backend, and its custom regex :
- https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html#regexp-syntax
- https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_7_0/core/org/apache/lucene/util/automaton/RegExp.html 10:44, 8 August 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.218.89.59 (talk)
- Thanks, 197.218.89.59 and John of Reading. Is there another way to search the source of every article/page in the wiki, other than manually downloading every page? Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}
to reply to me 12:37, 8 August 2017 (UTC)- @Jc86035: You can download every page, see Wikipedia:Database download, and then search it with the Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Database Scanner using "traditional" regular expressions. I have a copy of the 20 July dump; if that's recent enough I could search it for you. I have the "pages articles" dump, with no talk pages or user pages. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:45, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
- @John of Reading: Thanks. I'm not looking to search anything right now, though, and I could download the dump myself if I needed to. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

Can I get a list of articles which use Wikipedia as a reference?
[edit]Every once in a while I run into an article where Wikipedia is used as a reference. Since we don't allow Wikipedia articles to be used as references for other Wikipedia articles, it would be useful to have a list of articles with such a reference - specifically, any instance of an external link to a Wikipedia article between a set of ref tags, or as the url= field in a citation template having that field. Please let me know if this is doable. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:50, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
