Olympics links with AWB

Hi. I noticed you started to tag these as minor edits, but have recently stopped doing so. Please can you go back to tagging them as minor, so I can filter them out of my watchlist? Just incase I miss anything amiss that might pop-up on my watchlist that could get buried. Thanks. Lugnuts ^Fire Walk with Me 14:07, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it back to minor. Thanks. -- Zyxw (talk) 14:09, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Baseballstats

Seems like {{Baseballstats}} isn't working for Cube links. Woodshed (talk) 23:07, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Woodshed: I just tried the links in the template documentation plus five random player articles and those all worked. Can you point out any articles you found where the link is not working? Thanks. -- Zyxw (talk) 23:19, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of candidates by riding for the 43rd Canadian federal election

I can understand desiring consistency in spacing for citations (and don't mind it being fixed) but the Facebook citations that you reformatted were using the official Wikipedia template for citing Facebook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Facebook_Page. Please change the Facebook citations back to the proper template. (I'd do it myself but I have time and bandwidth constraints for several days.) G. Timothy Walton (talk) 23:14, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I changed the citations to use {{cite web}} because the Facebook templates are designed for use in the external links section of an article. I don't think they should be changed back, but you are free to revert my edit if you still disagree. -- Zyxw (talk) 07:18, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comedian edits

Hello, I've just had to clean up after two of your edits, to Cluub Zarathustra and to Bob Newhart. I guess you weren't paying close enough attention, because you can see from the diffs you were putting comments in citations unrelated to the infobox, breaking them. Also, in the second link, your commenting out in the infobox didn't work, because it enclosed other commenting-out code, which isn't possible. (Why not just delete the parameters that are invalid?) I saw you made dozens and dozens and dozens of these edits on January 24, I clicked through a few of them that looked OK, but you may want to go back and look for any other pages you left broken. Modulus12 (talk) 03:54, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I previewed each of those edits to look for errors such as commented out citations or duplicate comments. I actually fixed a number those before saving the edit, but apparently I missed a few. I did remove empty parameters, but commented out the non-empty ones in case future editors wanted to incorporate that information into the article. I will go through all of those edits again to recheck for problems. Thanks. -- Zyxw (talk) 11:45, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another one, if it helps you understand what went wrong. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:42, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Listing modules used

re [1]: I see you are adding to {{Lua}} multiple modules taht are used in the template. I can understand mentioning the main module in there (e.g., "Template:Track gauge uses Module:Track gauge") for in-depth documentation and template editing support. But I do not see how listing all (potantially) called modules woiould help an editor. Is there a discussion you can link to? My preference is to only mention one, main module (maybe there are two, ok) in documentation. -DePiep (talk) 08:07, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citation cleanup left red error messages

I have just reverted a few of your edits to boxing articles because they left red citation errors. There are more. Please review that batch of edits and either revert them or clean them up. You might want to submit a feature request to the developer of the tool or script that you used, if any. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:31, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: Thanks for pointing that out. Those edits were made by clicking Fix dead links on each article's history page. It seems that IABot does not recogize vertical bars in external link text when converting them to use a citation template, resulting in the citations displaying red error text and placing the articles in Category:Pages with citations using unnamed parameters. I reported this at Phabricator: T217971 so hopefully the bot will be updated to recognize and fix this on its own. In the meantime, I have already corrected some of these and will continue looking for any others I missed. -- Zyxw (talk) 03:08, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

External link cleanup

Hi Zyxw. Thank you for your cleanup of external links by putting them in templates. However, I notice that many of the pages you have edited the number of links are excessive, many are indirect links (pages which are not about the subject of the page itself) and there are complete linkfarms of social media on the pages (we generally list only one official website of a subject, with very few exceptions). Would you mind trying to help in cleaning out the linkfarms by removing the excess links as per our external links guideline and 'What Wikipedia is not'? Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra ^T C 18:17, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I could go back and do that after converting those links which can use templates, but I first wanted to extract the external IDs into Wikidata if an associated property exists. Unfortunately, not so easy now that I see you have already cleaned up the external links on most of the pages I edited over the past day. -- Zyxw (talk) 11:26, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to be rather rigorous in that (time allowing, sorry, I have time today :-) ). I know that Wikidata wants to extract data from those templates, but I cannot see that as one of my priorities (I'd prefer to keep up with local policies and guidelines). (extracting the data now is not much harder, from your contributions you now can go to your revid, and there you have both WikiData-item# and the values in the template). --Dirk Beetstra ^T C 12:56, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Survival Game

Just curious about what is the point in this? Harsh Rathod Poke me! 11:06, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Updating the YouTube template that used |c= instead of |channel= due to clearly indicate URL is https://www.youtube.com/channel/name, prior to updating template to handle URLs such as https://www.youtube.com/c/name and https://www.youtube.com/name. Anything else was automatically done by AWB. -- Zyxw (talk) 11:14, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, that YouTube thing is fine but why interchange places of {Distingush} and {Short description}? Anything worth sharing about? If not, then okay, no problem. Harsh Rathod Poke me! 12:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Harshrathod50: AWB does that when the "apply general fixes" option is selected. As per WP:AWB/General fixes § MoveMaintenanceTags, this is based on WP:Manual of Style/Layout which does not mention {{Short description}} but does specify the order of article elements, starting with: Hatnotes, then Deletion/Protection tags, followed by Maintenance / dispute tags. {{Distinguish}} is a hatnote template, which would explain why it was moved to the top. WP:Short description (an information page, not a guideline or policy) suggests placing the short description "template as close to the top of the page as possible". If there is a consensus to place the short description above the hatnotes, that should be suggested as a change to the Manual of Style. -- Zyxw (talk) 19:53, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The edit linked above appears to be a purely "insignificant" edit (no change to the rendered page), which is a violation of AWB rule 4. Unless I am mistaken in my inspection of the page before and after the edit, please do not make these edits without approval at BRFA or a similar forum. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:36, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

your awb script

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T220959

If you are still using the awb script that made this edit, it could use some fixing. Particularly this transformation:

[https://web.archive.org/web/20111008215308/http://www.emozionecalcio.it/scheda_persona/Rodrigo-Izecson-Santos-Leite-Digao/939.aspx Emozione Calcio profile] {{it icon}}

to

{{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008215308/http://www.emozionecalcio.it/scheda_persona/Rodrigo-Izecson-Santos-Leite-Digao/939.aspx |title=Emozione Calcio profile {{it icon}} }}

InternetArchiveBot comes along and from the above makes this:

{{Cite web |url=http://www.emozionecalcio.it/scheda_persona/Rodrigo-Izecson-Santos-Leite-Digao/939.aspx |title=Emozione Calcio profile {{it icon}} |access-date=21 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008215308/http://www.emozionecalcio.it/scheda_persona/Rodrigo-Izecson-Santos-Leite-Digao/939.aspx |archive-date=8 October 2011 |dead-url=yes |df=dmy-all }}

which shows an error message because, when used in mainspace, {{it icon}} creates a category wikilink in |title=:

{{it icon}} → <span class="languageicon">(in Italian)</span>[[Category:Articles with Italian-language external links]]

When |title= is externally linked with |url= the combination causes a URL–wikilink conflict error.

I have pointed out this issue at phabricator; don't know how far that will get.

Your script should not scoop up language icon templates (and probably any other templates) for inclusion in the {{webarchive}} |title= parameter.

—Trappist the monk (talk) 17:26, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will keep the language template outside of the Webarchive template, plus go back and fix the edits where it was included in the Webarchive template. -- Zyxw (talk) 17:32, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"also spelled"

I have reverted your additions of alternate spellings of alpine skiers, for example Emelie Wikström, Astrid Lødemel and Thomas Dreßen. Such transcribations are not included in any other articles and add no value. --Marbe166 (talk) 19:09, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Sung-jae (disambiguation)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kamolwan Chanyim, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chonburi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:11, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Color contrast ratio

Regarding this edit, can you tell me why the infobox follows Template:Ensure AAA contrast ratio instead of Template:Ensure AAA contrast ratio? The AAA contrast ratio is optional, intended for viewers with 20/80 vision. People with 20/80 vision usually wear glasses or contacts, which is why AAA is optional. The AA contrast ratio is the one Wikipedia "should" follow, while the A contrast level is one we "must" follow. Binksternet (talk) 22:00, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Binksternet: The edit you referenced was an update to the documentation showing that the template was using {{Ensure AAA contrast ratio}}. You'd have to ask the person who actually added that to the template in this edit on 28 August 2015 (as per a request on the template's talk page archived here). Additionally, your edit to Template:Infobox music genre/doc doesn't actually change anything; you would need to make the changes in Template:Infobox music genre. Hope that helps. -- Zyxw (talk) 11:40, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category related to the Asian Games

Hi Zyxw, i see that you added "Category:Asian Games competitors for (country)" in some sportspeople. Fyi,I just found some mistakes from your edits.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Rugby sevens at the Asian Games

A tag has been placed on Category:Rugby sevens at the Asian Games requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^Read!

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [e-mail], so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at [e-mail].

Thank you!
