ReFill

This tool is one of the most error-prone in the history of Wikipedia, and there is nobody maintaining it. The responsibility of any errors it creates is the fault of person using the tool. You are responsible for every edit, even when you choose to use buggy tools. Please see this edit Special:Diff/1254741850/1256841759:

  • You broke a URL, changing this to that (the original problem was an errant space in the middle of the URL and was easily fixed by simply deleting the space).
  • You added a spam title "Izyan.com is for sale | HugeDomains"

The fact is, ReFill can be useful. But it can also cause a lot of damage. It's sort of like operating a high-end motorcycle, it requires training and experience not to wreck. -- GreenC 17:03, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am aware of some bugs in Refill. This one slipped my attention.
Thanks for fixing them. Rofraja (talk) 17:36, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just for your information, here also appeared also a ReFill error. --Cyfal (talk) 15:44, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please accept my apologies for the deletion on this page, I must have hit the wrong button! Best regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 12:24, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, without noticing you reverted my update, I applied the same update again, because it appeared in my "{{Cleanup Bare URL}} - without actual bare URLs" watch list again. :-) Rofraja (talk) 12:32, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Author, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anthony Ashley-Cooper.

Great work you're doing on bareurls but can I remind you of the need to check what the tool does. In this edit [1] you didn't correct it when it diverted lesfreres.org to domyessay.com (usurpers) and americanutopiabroadway.com to an Indonesian gambling site (see WP:JUDI) Lyndaship (talk) 18:25, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing me on these redirects. They slipped my mind. I've added a url-status=usurped to both citations.
In my defense, you would have ended up on those sites without my edits. :-) Rofraja (talk) 18:51, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. You do so many of these it's inevitable that occasionally you won't notice something is wrong. Please add any you spot usurped to gambling sites to WP:JUDI Lyndaship (talk) 19:32, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Afraid I've come across another one this morning [2] . I would have hoped you would have spotted this as it was the only amendment and the gambling guff makes it obvious it's been redirected. The end result of allowing this sort of error through is that when waybackmedic comes through it will see the domain which has been substituted and provide an archive for this - see next edit, losing the cite for ever Lyndaship (talk) 08:51, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
