Replacing working EL with nonworking IW link
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
I made an edit on Nijazi Ramadani to fix a file cited from the Albanian Wikipedia. For some reason the IW link does not work and only the direct link will. Yobot changed this back to the nonworking version. (diff) Rather than simply revert the bot, like I'm tempted to do, I brought it here. Can something be done?--Auric talk 20:06, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Auric hm... in my opinion the problem here is more fundamental, since Wikipedia can't be used as a reference to itself. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:40, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Auric I fixed the reference to be working but please reconsider using interlanguage links as references. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:43, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for helping. However, the reference is not mine. Talk to User:Rrjedha (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), the main contributor about that.--Auric talk 23:11, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Auric: The initial problem was that there was a link inside a link, which never works. Remove the
{{lang-sq|"Imazh i ngrirë"}}
and instead you could useAlbanian: <span lang="sq">''"Imazh i ngrirë"''</span>

It seems that there is a bug in the changes made by Yobot by adding the same name to different fields. Please stop removing duplicated fields until the bug is fixed; otherwise, it may remove valid information. Beagel (talk) 06:35, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Beagel, could give the page this happened at or what the duplicate fields are? Need more info to solve the problem. Bgwhite (talk) 07:01, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- I first explained it here. The problem is that instead of replacing "secondary_fuel " with "ps_fuel_secondary", the bot replace it with "ps_fuel_tertiary", so after that there are two fields with the name "ps_fuel_tertiary". At the same time, another bot is running which removes one of these fields as duplicated. Beagel (talk) 07:07, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Beagel, darn, I was hoping I could fix it. It is not part of one of AWB's standard renaming fixes, but appears to be some custom code. Magioladitis an example is this edit. Bgwhite (talk) 07:21, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Beagel, Bgwhite these were the instructions given above. Task is finished anyway. I used the set of replacements described in Template_talk:Infobox_power_station#Final_parameter_update: "Step 1A: To replace". -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:38, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Yobot on United States Presidential Election, 2016
Can YoBot be adjusted so it does not reorder the sources on the United States Presidential Election, 2016 article?
The article is structured with a series of sources attached to each person, the sources are supposed to be sorts oldest to newest. YoBot changes the order which requires manual correction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ObieGrad (talk • contribs) 15:14, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @ObieGrad: You can prevent Yobot (and other AWB bots and human users) from reordering the sources by adding a comment between the references. GoingBatty (talk) 02:17, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Agile software development
Hi, yobot attempted to correct something on the page for Agile software development which unfortunately replaced the whole page with an odd message saying something about revision #0 not found. I reverted that change, and all is good, however am concerned why that happened and what to do if it does it again (re. editor rules of repeated undo). Thanks. Davidjcmorris Talk 11:28, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Davidjcmorris I can't see/spot the problem you report. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:50, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
I reversed the change, as it initially appeared as a mistake or potential vandalism, so that might mean all trace of it disappeared. When I looked at what yobot was trying to change, it appeared to have something to do with the embedded 'fancy' double quotation marks that were in a URL I added ... however the URL does not work if we replace them with anything else (I tried plain double quotation marks, as well as URLencoded versions, to no avail). Happy to take advice on it though. Davidjcmorris Talk 04:13, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @Davidjcmorris: If you saved the incorrect change, providing the exact diff would be helpful. If you haven't yet figured out how to add the URL properly, providing the exact URL would be helpful. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 22:06, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

There is no improvement whatsoever in "correcting" fraction syntax to remove < small > tags and leaving the overlarge and line-ruining current < sup > and < sub > formatting.

Article "Francois Fluckiger " orphan because of minor typo in title
The article entitled Francois Fluckiger has a typo in the first name, since the cedilla is missing. Title should be "François Fluckiger".
As a result, this article Francois Fluckiger looks as an orphan since the Internet Hall of Fame article, which should point to it, refers to the correct name of the Hall of Fame inductee "François Fluckiger".
What should be done? Can you change the title of the article, or should it be redone?
Note: The first name is correctly written in the body of the article.
Memory of the Past (talk) 23:52, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- Memory of the Past I created the redirect for you but I still see no links. I am not sure which should be the article's name per Wikipedia:Article titles. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:35, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Memory of the Past and Magioladitis: I think that's because the link at Internet Hall of Fame is to François Flückiger, with an umlaut on the u. WP:DIACRITICS isn't clear on the proper way, so I have taken the easier path and created that redirect too, rather than move the page to that title. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:19, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

{{orphan}}
. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:23, 6 May 2015 (UTC)- Redrose64 thanks for taking care of it. I searched the "Internet Hall of Fame" article but I was not that clever to search for a different variation of the name. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:46, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Yobot adding unnecessary DEFAULTSORT templates
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
I recently removed some DEFAULTSORT templates from some articles where they weren't being used, but Yobot added them back in, see:
It's a minor issue (because the DEFAULTSORT key isn't actually being used for any of the categories) but I think that it is incorrect for Yobot to be forcing the inclusion of the template in these 3 cases. Also, Yobot sets the DEFAULTSORT sortkey to the name of the article in this situation (which would make the use of DEFAULTSORT redundant, and also leads to issues with these articles as they all begin "List of..") although I guess this could be changed by the article's editors when necessary. All the other edits are fine, and, like I said, it's a very minor issue, but could you remove the DEFAULTSORT templates from the 3 articles I linked to? Communal t (talk) 14:09, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, looking again at the Help:Category page, it seems that Yobot is just doing this so the articles use e without the accent instead of é to sort. So perhaps some redundancy is needed for future editors who add categories. I assumed that since the Category system allowed use of é in the name of categories, that it would also be ok to use it to sort by. I'd still appreciate any views on this. Communal t (talk) 14:29, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Communal t Hi and thanks for contacting. Yes, as you read Yobot adds the DEFAULTSORT due to the special characters in the page title. DEGAULTSORT redefines the page title for sorting in various categories (hidden or not). This is very useful for many editors and programs. Daily Wikimedia databases generate pages with special characters in page title and the bot runs to fix this. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:10, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Communal t: There is more on the reasoning for
{{DEFAULTSORT:}}
(which is not a template but a behaviour switch) in cases like this (and others) at WP:SORTKEY. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:48, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
Toward the end of the 17th century, a peculiar artistic-didactic-scientific activity developed in Florence: the anatomical wax modelling, which almost one hundred years later (1771) would have deserved the institution of a specific workshop by the naturalist Felice Fontana (Pomarolo 1730 - Florence 1805)under the auspices of Grand DukePietro Leopoldo ofAsburgoLorena(Martelli, 1977; Poggesi, 1999; Riva et al., 2010). Nevertheless, it must be remembered that already in 1598 the painter, sculptor and architect Ludovico Cardi named “il Cigoli” (San Miniato 1559 - Rome 1613,), who lived for many years in Florence, had prepared the first anatomical model of a male human body using monochromatic red wax. This model was based on his observations of cadavers dissected in a cell of the S. Lorenzo Basilica cloister and in the “Santa Maria Nuova” Hospital. This statuette, 61 cm. high called “Anatomia del Cigoli” (Cigoli’s Anatomy) or “lo scorticato” (the skinned man), is still well preserved and exposed in the National Museum of Bargello together with a bronze copy.thanks--Realmastery (talk) 05:03, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Bots
You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
- The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary.
- Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Article 'Characteristica Universalis' re. Leibniz
Hi, not sure if you can help me out with this, but I see you edited the article in some way and I Really want to find the citation for the following two sentences:
The writings of Alexander Gode suggested that Leibniz' characteristica had a metaphysical bias which prevented it from reflecting reality faithfully. Gode emphasized that Leibniz established certain goals or functions first, and then developed the characteristica to fulfill those functions.
Really want to know where in Gode's writings this appears! Any help seriously appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schoenborges (talk • contribs) 14:03, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

°C
Hi Yobot,
I don't think that most of this edit was an improvement. Specifically, I wouldn't put a space before °C. I am guessing there is some rule somewhere that says "insert a non-breaking space if a number is followed by a unit." I think any unit that starts with the ° symbol (including ° on its own) should be excepted from this rule.
Yaris678 (talk) 12:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yaris678 I am afraid that the rule includes them. Check WP:UNITS -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:42, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
- OMG. The table at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Specific units has 40° if its an angle and 40 ° if it's a temperature. That's just silly. I notice in the archives there many conversations on this already, including at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)/Archive 12 and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)/Archive 25#temperatures, spaces before or after degree symbol. None of the discussions are very thorough... but its probably not worth bringing up again. About the most convincing argument for it is that this is what ISO 31-0 says. But then ISO 31-0 also says units should be italicised, which we explicitly don't do. So there is some scope for us to differ where we think something else would be better... but I'm not going to go rehashing that argument.
- Thanks for pointing me to the relevant bit of the MoS.

Replacing hard spaces
In edits like this one, the bot is leaving multiple spaces when it replaces a hard space with a regular one. Since multiple spaces typically collapse to just one when rendered, would it be possible to check if there are spaces on either side of the replaced character and collapse them into a single one if appropriate? About the only time I can see this not being a desirable result would be inside a <pre> tag or similar, but I suspect the likelihood of hard spaces there is minimal. – Robin Hood (talk) 18:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
In this edit, you
- added empty lines to every headline that was followed by a subsection headline and
- tagged the whole list with {{Empty section}}.
As Heymid and DoctorKubla agreed in Template talk:Empty section#Question regarding use of this template, "[a] section isn't empty if it contains sub-sections". — Sebastian 16:03, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Sebastian, section called "Other" has no sub-sections nor any text... -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:09, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, you're right, thanks for your fast reply! I corrected the "Other" section now. That of course answers point 2 above; I had stupidly thought that the template was an article-wide template. But what about the added empty lines? — Sebastian 16:14, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Sebastian Yobot follows MOS:HEADINGS where it reads "Include one blank line above the heading, and optionally one blank line below it, for readability in the edit window". -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:16, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- I see and learn, thanks! You already have a great list of tasks on the user page; would it make sense to add that there? — Sebastian 16:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Sebastian my "fix" (OK not really a fix but a tag) was part of WP:CHECKWIKI and especially error #84 where it deals with empty sections. The empty sections are tagged exactly in order to catch user attention and someone fixes them (or remove them). I am happy you really cared about the tag :) CHECKWIKI fixes are already listed in the bot tasks. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:23, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot, I now see that WP:CHECKWIKI was the first thing mentioned in the edit summary, so it's all well documented. — Sebastian 16:30, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Atul Srivastava
- Delete, a handful of minor roles, but doesn't come close to WP:NACTOR in my view. I'm sympathetic to the argument that it's usually harder to find written information on Indian topics than Western ones, but when it's a BLP we're talking about, caution is called for. Subject must have played minor and supporting roles in various films and TV shows, but fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Mentioned only in passing in cited media articles (which themselves are mostly second-tier sources), and I couldn't locate anything more comprehensive. I saw the references but it doesn't talk about Atul Srivastava particularly. This is fake article, should be immediately deleted.

Romoval of non-breaking spaces
Your bot recently removed some non-breaking spaces from an article I had edited (Human settlement). That made two dates (like 17 000 BC) break after the first two digits. I don't see what the point of removing non-breaking spaces is, but if you're going to do it, then replace them with " ". But it's better to just leave the non-breaking spaces. They don't clutter up the code as does. (Commas are not recommended for separating digits. See ISO 31-0#Numbers.) Eric Kvaalen (talk) 09:05, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Eric Kvaalen The bot removed invisible non-breaking spaces. This isn't good because editors do not know they are there. With, or {{nbsp}}, they can be seen. 99.9% of these characters do not belong, thus they are removed by the bot. ISO 31-0#Numbers is irrelevant as it does not apply to Wikipedia. The page that MOS:DOB and WP:NUMERAL are found on applies to Wikipedia. They use or {{nbsp}} and use commas to separate digits. Bgwhite (talk) 09:30, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- What difference does it make if editors do not know where the invisible non-breaking spaces are? If they want to change the date, they have to put in a space or a comma themselves if they want. It doesn't matter to them how some previous editor did it. I don't see why you say that 99.9% of these characters do not belong. Why would someone go to the trouble of putting an invisible non-breaking space in if it doesn't belong? Most people don't even know how to do it! I don't see why you say that ISO 31-0#Numbers does not apply to Wikipedia. I don't see anything at MOS:DOB that talks about this, and WP:NUMERAL actually says that you CAN use spaces (although it says they should be narrow spaces -- I see that one can use the val template to do this). Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:23, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Eric Kvaalen Around 200 articles a day are found with invisible characters. They are not added directly by editors. Most of them are added because of copy/paste. There are also some gadgets/tools that add them. They do not belong as they are found in the middle of regular sentences, beginning of lines or other odd spots. What difference does it make? What happens if an editor does not want it there? What happens if it is added at a wrong spot? If editors can't see it, they can't understand what is going on and/or remove it.
- Other group's rules, such as ISOs don't matter because they are not policy on Wikipedia. MOS takes preference over any other outside rules. It's one thing to use it on a complex math article, its another to have it on Human settlement where the average person will read it. That is why a narrow space is recommend to be used on math, science and technology articles. Human settlement doesn't fit that. We are writing to the average person, not to a scientific group. Your an American, is the average American more likely to understand "17 000 stars" or "17,000 stars"? Bgwhite (talk) 23:32, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Putting a space between the 17 and the 000 does not harm any reader or make it more difficult to understand! I may be an American, but not all readers are, and I don't think we should use commas to separate thousands. In a date, it won't be misunderstood, but in other contexts it certainly could be misunderstood.
- If I put in a narrow space (invisible), will your bot remove it too? Eric Kvaalen (talk) 10:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- Eric Kvaalen yes it will. Please add a visible version of this. Wikipedia provides templates such as {{nbsp}}. You can also take a look at Category:Inline spacing templates for more ideas. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:26, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- Eric Kvaalen America, Canada, England, Australia, Philippines, Nigeria, India and Pakistan all use commas... all the largest English speaking countries. South Africa is the only large English speaking country not to use commas. You are doing something that 99% of the people reading it don't see normally. You should write to the reader, not to you.

- We should stop insisting on our way of doing things, especially when it can be misleading to people from other parts of the world. That's why ISO makes standards.

- Eric Kvaalen Except the ISO standard isn't used in the English world. Your audience is English. If your audience was French or Russian speaking Wikis, then yes, the ISO standard is part of MOS. Your lack of commas is misleading to English speakers. Billion is used in English, not milliard. If you used milliard on English Wikipedia, then you are confusing people. If you used billion on Spanish Wikipedia, then you would be confusing people. This is why why we have MOS. This is why other disciplines (math, history, physics) have their own standards in books and journals. Have a standard format. When in Rome... Also see discussion below about person wanting UN format and not MOS. Bgwhite (talk) 21:26, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- {:The Manual of Style doesn't say not to use spaces as separator. Anyway, I'm talking about what English speakers should do in general, not specifically on Wikipedia. And by the way, "billion" was not used in the whole English world for a milliard until the British treasury caved in to the US back in the 1970s and then other British people started using the word. The confusing situation of today is due to different countries refusing to compromise and achieve a standard. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 06:56, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

regarding the removal of a category from John Marston (poet)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
The category that was removed was: "17 Century English Poets". However John Marston does belong to that category -- which is supported by examples from the 17th Century that are in the article. In 1601 he in fact contributed to a published book of verse ("Divers Poetical Essays") that included verse by Shakespeare -- during Shakespeare's lifetime. Like Shakespeare, his career as a poet straddles both centuries, the 16 & 17th. So, I hope you understand, Yobot, I will revert the edit. DagTruffle (talk) 13:10, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
