Revision as of 15:17, 22 September 2020

You may want to increment {{Archive basics}} to |counter= 24 as User talk:Citation bot/Archive 23 is larger than the recommended 150Kb.

Note: See also how to prevent the bot from repeating mistakes. See also Help:CS1, and {{cite xxx}} documentation in general.

Note that the bot's maintainer and assistants (Thing 1 and Thing 2), can go weeks without logging in to Wikipedia. The code is open source and interested parties are invited to assist with the operation and extension of the bot.

Before reporting a bug, please note: Addition of DUPLICATE_xxx= to citation templates by this bot is a feature. When there are two identical parameters in a citation template, the bot renames one to DUPLICATE_xxx=. The bot is pointing out the problem with the template. The solution is to choose one of the two parameters and remove the other one, or to convert it to an appropriate parameter.

Please click here to report an error.

Or, for a faster response from the maintainers, submit a pull request with appropriate code fix on GitHub, if you can write the needed code.

OAuth will not work for much longer

What happens
New OAuth tokens (preferably ones without edit permisions) needed with domain name change
We can't proceed until
Bot account needs to request new tokens and they need added to toolserver account configuration


URL redirect is buying us time. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 13:07, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

URL expander down - anyone have any idea why??

Ever since the DNS change. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 11:20, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

https://translation-server.toolforge.org/ gives 503 error code AManWithNoPlan (talk) 21:35, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Does citation bot have a feature to add a |title= when one is missing ie. determine a reasonable title for a given URL? -- GreenC 15:27, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That feature is dead since the great migration. Thus the translation server call for help above. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 15:40, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about it, is it this: https://github.com/zotero/translation-server ? I checked /data/project/translation-server on TF and there is a crontab error file growing (updated today) but unable to read it. June 20 was last anyone logged into the shell. -- GreenC 18:44, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes thats it. I think we need someone with TF superpowers to read it and maybe fix it. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 19:09, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion @ Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Toolforge -- GreenC 00:45, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Pings and emails to Smith unanswered. If there no response in a few days, will ask admins on the IRC to adopt the tool, or possibly someone would volunteer jig a restart. -- GreenC 02:09, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Heard back from Smith and working on an access solution.. -- GreenC 13:45, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have initiated the abandoned tool adoption procedure User_talk:Smith609#translation-server_adoption which requires a 14 day wait period - this is so we can add additional maintainers to try to reboot the tool. -- GreenC 14:26, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Smith added members of this group for 'become translation-server' access. -- GreenC 22:02, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261300 asked for help. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 11:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Outage/slow loading of form


I've also been having this same exact problem lately! --Woko Sapien (talk) 13:35, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rebooted. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 16:17, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AManWithNoPlan, that worked for a while. Now it seems to have trouble again. --Woko Sapien (talk) 18:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I found a page that crashed the bot with a memory error. It should not have done that. I think I have found the PHP memory leak - or a least a way to find it and fix it. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 18:28, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Still seems to be having trouble. Though that might just be me. --Woko Sapien (talk) 19:39, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Memory leak fix deployed. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 20:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Working on some more PHP leaks now. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 15:58, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hammered out more PHP issues. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 01:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Still working on it. I have two issues related to the lighttd fastcgi server. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 21:00, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Turns out a bunch of options I was controlling actually do not work right on the server. I think I have it better now. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 01:19, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just had the same problem this morning despite reloads and varying the option entered. Timrollpickering (talk) 09:22, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, getting onto the homepage is fine. But it isn't processing pages.--Woko Sapien (talk) 14:35, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary changing from books.google.co.uk to books.google.com

Status
Red X Not a bug
Reported by
— O Still Small Voice of Clam 07:43, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What happens
Link changed from books.google.co.uk to books.google.com
What should happen
Link should be left unchanged. The .com link redirects back to .co.uk
Relevant diffs/links
[4]


.com redirects to people's local country. But local countries do not re-direct back to .com or anyone else's local country. That is why .com is preferred: everyone get's their local copy. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 13:07, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense - thanks. Feel free to close this as no action required, or whatever needs doing. — O Still Small Voice of Clam 13:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
