Fix "Census" over-capitalization

[edit]

We have about 5000 articles with non-piped (visible) links to over-capitalized census redirects such as 2020 United States Census, and lots more with piped links, accounting for the great majority of links listed in the report Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations. I expect that at least these will be easy to tackle with AWB. Dicklyon (talk) 02:50, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a diff with an example edit fixing this error? VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 08:16, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's one. And here's a diff showing 2 fixes, one piped and one not. Dicklyon (talk) 17:16, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been working on these issues for some time. I have settings files in AWB that target the capitalized versions of our articles for different countries, and there are a lot of them. Dawnseeker2000 17:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I see over 22,000 candidates here, and there are lots more. Perhaps best to divide and conquer, as you look pretty fully occupied? And yes I'd be happy to call and chat. Dicklyon (talk) 17:45, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That'd be great! Dawnseeker2000 20:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that is a good search parameter for candidates. If I understand the report correctly, it comes from the link part being incorrectly capitalized, not the text. VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 00:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure better searches are possible, but that simple one does find text, not piped links (which would also be worth finding and fixing). Dicklyon (talk) 00:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My initial concern with overfitting the criterion is identifying a link to "Census", which can occur as the initial word of a sentence. Initiating a correction in that instance would be problematic, and I don't know if there are others as well. VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 02:37, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yes, that's why we review edits in AWB, isn't it? To catch false positives and write better patterns to avoid them recurring, no? On that particular one, I see a few sentences like "Census day was ...", which seems like a peculiar place to link it, so I'd unlink that and link census somewhere else. Dicklyon (talk) 03:10, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's another easy batch worth fixing. Dicklyon (talk) 22:34, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a good search that finds about 7600 to fix. Just replace the search regex therein with $1 $2 census{{subst:lc:$3}}. It's US only, but could easily be modified for other country censuses. And if you're good with regexes you'll probably see ways to improve it. Dicklyon (talk) 23:14, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And here's a search finding nearly 1000 different ones, to be replaced with $1 $2 census|$3census]]. Is there a better way to share patterns that doesn't rely on being able to run AWB or JWB? Dicklyon (talk) 23:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done most (I believe my regex missed some) US censuses from 1790 to 1900 (included). Milo8505 (talk) 19:07, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Milo8505: Thanks for that! Will your process scale to the much larger numbers for more recent censuses? Do you plan to keep at it? Dicklyon (talk) 11:04, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@[[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon] No, the process is very much manual and requires attention while using AWB. I will keep at it when I have the time (i.e. not now, due to WP:BUSY). Milo8505 (talk) 08:14, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Long list of page moves regarding Timor-Leste

[edit]

With the recent rename of the article from East Timor at Talk:Timor-Leste#Requested_move_16_December_2024, a very large number of pages need to be moved, sometimes over redirects. For more, please see Special:Search/intitle:"East Timor"

77 articles that are lists or bilateral relations

–LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:07, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also opened Talk:1999_East_Timorese_crisis#Requested_move_24_December_2024 to discuss the demonym "East Timorese". –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:16, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are a lot more pages than just these; I've been waiting to move the Olympics-related articles for about six years now (and I will be doing them shortly). Primefac (talk) 17:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am moving these 77 pages. – DreamRimmer (talk) 18:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Moved 76. East Timor–Russia relations needs to be moved by an admin. It's bedtime; I will do the post-move cleanup tomorrow. – DreamRimmer (talk) 19:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
166 articles

– DreamRimmer (talk) 08:09, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of these should probably stay at East Timor, as they relate to things from prior to independence or soon after when East Timor was still used. Some also use the demonym, which for the time being seems to be staying at East Timorese (or just Timorese) rather than Timor Lestese or some other form. Things related to the Indonesian invasion and occupation (including the genocide), the UN mission, and International Force should probably stay, as should anything using the adjective. Turnagra (talk) 08:40, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
LaundryPizza03 mentioned Special:Search/intitle:"East Timor", so I listed all the remaining pages for easier tracking. Please feel free to remove any that shouldn't be moved. – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:50, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - I've gone through the above list and struck out the ones I think probably shouldn't be moved from a cursory look. Turnagra (talk) 09:27, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We should definitely do the post-2002 years. I opened an RM for 2002 in East Timor, the year the country gained independence. Most of the remaining articles are uncontroversial, with the exception of East Timor independence and some proper names mentioning the country. Still processing the list for uncontroversial ones... –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:17, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the short list. For the rest of the uncrossed entries, I opened an RM or, in two cases, nominated for deletion. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
117 articles

I have moved and updated a lot of these, but am putting this on hold pending wikipedia:Move_review#Timor-Leste. – Fayenatic London 17:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Still on hold pending relisted Talk:East_Timor#Requested_move_16_December_2024. – Fayenatic London 22:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The reopened move request has been closed again as a move, so this can get back underway. Turnagra (talk) 23:04, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why people keep changing {{Iso2country/data}} before the above lists are complete. Please wait until they are done. See this discussion for details. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:47, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Over-capped newspaper titles in refs generated by Trove

[edit]

We get a lot of auto-generated refs from the Trove newspaper archive, but it capitalizes every word in the newspaper names, including "And". I've fixed at least a hundred of these. Fixing just these two will take several hundred edits:

So that's a quick task for AWB. Going forward, it would be useful if someone would do a run now and then to fix those and all these others (and whichever other ones we might add to the list on discovering them:

In all these the "And" (or two "And"s in couple of them) should be replaced by "and", whether the text is in a link or not. I've linked them here to demonstrate that links won't go red with these changes. Dicklyon (talk) 10:59, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let me take a look at this...  Working on the first two papers. Geardona (talk to me?) 14:25, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Should be  Done, let me know if anything else crops up Geardona (talk to me?) 15:14, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Geardona: Thanks! That's got most of them. Searching Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations for " And", I see 4 that still have incoming links. Looks like between us we missed a couple:
And it seems I failed to list these 2 with one incoming link each:
I can fix those by hand, but if you're developing AWB settings that should be able to find and fix these somewhat automatically, you might want to look at these before I make them disappear. Probably there are also more that I don't see right now, as I'm just looking at ones that currently have incoming links. Dicklyon (talk) 12:27, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fixing now! and yes, I am making a template for this project. Geardona (talk to me?) 15:51, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Certes and Geardona: I see that Certes has a list with a ton more of these Trove newspapers, at User:Certes/Trove/full. Maybe that can be mined to generalize Geardona's fixer settings. Dicklyon (talk) 11:01, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a much bigger generalization of this to redirects with " And " in them. My Quarry query has found over 5000 of them, listed at User:Dicklyon/And. Some of these also have others words over-capitalized (typically "Of", "The", and such). From a quick sample, I'd say most do not have any incoming links, which is good. To find ones that do, it would be useful if each was tagged as "R from miscapitalization". Dicklyon (talk) 10:51, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If an AWB run or genfix is happening, it could also usefully fix certain wikilinks. Trove offers a canned citation template, but it often links to a different newspaper, to an unrelated topic or to a disambiguation page. For example, the wikitext Trove offers for citing id 505 links to Sunday Times (a UK newspaper) rather than The Sunday Times (Sydney). Id 499 links to Referee, enlightening the reader about sporting umpires, rather than The Referee (newspaper). Id 248 links to dab Record rather than The Record (Melbourne). A list of the more common errors is in User:Certes/Trove. Such links added to Wikipedia before June 2024 have almost all been fixed, but new ones will be appearing and I am not aware of any methodical process to catch them. Certes (talk) 17:32, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dicklyon, my current method for generating the list of fixes is very hard to scale to multiple pages. Could I get a version of https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/89960 with all of the instances of the problem redirects occurring in plaintext and links? (for example, instead of showing Ashmore And Cartier Islands (the page), it would give me a list of pages that have Ashmore And Cartier Islands (the phrase) on them, etc for all 5057 pages).
As for @Certes, my concern with running any kind of automated or semi-automated editor on that dataset is the same ambiguity that is the problem in the first place, if there is any way to find only the problematic citations, that would work fine. (I hope this isn't misunderstanding the request)
Let me know if none of this makes sense Geardona (talk to me?) 17:53, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if we could convince the good people at Trove to provide actual good wikilinks, using Certes's table.
I don't know a way to collect all the pages that contain all these strings, other than generating one at a time in JWB. But someone who is good with scripting might be able to augment JWB or AWB to take a list of searches to generate from. Dicklyon (talk) 22:33, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve got an idea to remedy this, however it might not work. (I’m going to try to use this page to skip the UI getting in the way) Geardona (talk to me?) 23:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried asking Trove, who politely acknowledged my request but hadn't changed anything last time I looked. The erroneous links are in very specific strings. A typical example newspaper article is here. Click the bookmark icon with hover text "Cite" in the left column, then scroll down to "Wikipedia citation" to see {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article149498474 |title=SHIPPING. |newspaper=[[Daily Telegraph]] |volume=III, |issue=71 |location=Tasmania, Australia |date=18 June 1883 |accessdate=18 January 2025 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}, which our editors copy verbatim. Sadly, this doesn't contain the Trove ID which would distinguish it from other historic Australian papers called Daily Telegraph but the location usually provides a distinctive enough pattern, e.g. \{\{cite news \|url=http://nla\.gov\.au/nla\.news-article[^}]*\|newspaper=\[\[Daily Telegraph\]\][^}]* \|location=Tasmania, Australia[^}]* \|via=National Library of Australia\}\}. In a few awkward cases, the same vague location was used for two distinct papers with different articles. Those require checking the date but are edge cases. It's basically what I used to do manually each day as and when the errors appeared. Certes (talk) 23:33, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Geardona: There are a few more to do now, esp. a handful of links to Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay And Burnett Advertiser, and few others listed at Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations. Dicklyon (talk) 05:51, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of easy post-move case fixes

[edit]

At Talk:Aizkraukle district#Requested move 23 December 2024 and Talk:Minsk district#Requested move 25 December 2024 we have a list of titles where "District" was moved to lowercase "district". And at Talk:Abancay province#Requested move 16 December 2024 where "Province" was moved to lowercase "province". And at Talk:Hunter fracture zone#Requested move 9 December 2024 where "Fracture Zone" was moved to "fracture zone". And at Talk:Buffalo Head terrane#Requested move 14 December 2024 where "Terrane" was moved to "terrane". And at Talk:Dakar region#Requested move 11 December 2024 and Talk:Adrar region#Requested move 11 December 2024 and Talk:Bafatá region#Requested move 11 December 2024 and Talk:Brest region#Requested move 11 December 2024 where "Region" was moved to "region". And Talk:Eurasian plate#Requested move 6 October 2024 where "Plate" was moved to "plate". And more. In all of these types of moves, the title starts with a capitalized proper name, so it will be capitalized in any context, whether sentence initial, heading, mid-sentence, or otherwise. So automating the case-fixing cleanup should be pretty easy; just need to be careful not to apply changes inside file names or ref titles. There are hundreds of article titles, with typically dozens of links to each, and probably lots more in sentences, not linked, so probably a thousand or more edits needed to finish the move cleanups of these. Anyone want to do some? Dicklyon (talk) 11:30, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If someone wants to start on this, maybe try the first one, search for Latvia and search and replace this regex: 

(Aizkraukle|Alūksne|Balvi|Bauska|Cēsis|Daugavpils|Dobele|Gulbene|Jēkabpils|Jelgava|Krāslava|Kuldīga|Liepāja|Limbaži|Ludza|Madona|Ogre|Preiļi|Rēzekne|Riga|Saldus|Talsi|Tukums|Valka|Valmiera|Ventspils) District

Hi. I just performed two moves from ambiguous titles to unambiguous titles, but I need help with all the links pointing to the ambiguous titles. All the links to Joan, Duchess of Brittany should go to Joan of Penthièvre instead (in many cases it is only a matter of removing the silly pipe because she is normally called Joan of Penthièvre anyway); and the links to Joanna of Flanders should go to Joan of Flanders, Countess of Montfort. After that I can turn the two pages into disambiguation pages. I will be very grateful for your help. Surtsicna (talk) 10:55, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Surtsicna  Done. Pages that link to "Joanna of Flanders" and Pages that link to "Joan, Duchess of Brittany" each shows only one links, in a hatnote, I hope you can fix that as needed. Small note, I used User:BilledMammal/Move+ retarget links, which was much easier than setting up AWB. It is also easier to use, so you can try it out yourself the next time you may need this. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:14, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up spaces round non-breaking spaces

[edit]

Hello, I was pointed here for this task from Wikipedia:Bot requests, there is a need to remove leading and trailing spaces from the non-breaking space character (&nbsp;). If a space exists then you end up with 2 spaces in the rendered text and it negates the purpose of having a non-breaking space as a break can be made between the space and the non-breaking space. You should ignore the cases where a non-breaking space is used as a template parameter or a cell entry in a table. Keith D (talk) 17:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This request seems wrongheaded on its face. The insertion of NBSP between spaces is the only way to have the wikitext interpreter render multiple spaces when needed, and without viewing the full page in a standard browser window, you would be unable to even make any sort of judgement about whether this might be a possibility, making it incompatible with standard operation in the AWB interface. I'm not even sure you could generate a target list sans a full database dump. This is exactly the sort of unthoughtful fiddling - making assumptions that standard workarounds are somehow errors - that pisses off editors, so I'd withdraw the request. VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 04:30, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK I will withdraw this, but there is a need to clean-up such things as £3 &nbsp; which causes a problem of having 2 spaces and negates the use of the non-breaking space. Keith D (talk) 11:30, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a bad idea, but the request above is underspecified at best. What are the exact situations in which this construction is allowed, and in what situations is it not allowed? Figuring out which instances should be fixed, and how, and which should not, will probably require human judgement in many cases. In many cases, the right answer is to remove the nbsp, not the space. Here's a search in article space that currently returns 17,649 articles, some of which are probably false positives that should not be modified. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:17, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

It has been decided this infobox should be deleted after converting its transclusions. As a part of the conversion, the category (Category:Cyrillic letters) and the short description ("Cyrillic letter") transcluded from the infobox should be added to articles that transcludes the template. Preferably, SD should not be added to articles that already have one, and the category should not be added to pages that are already in one of its subcats (as it is non-diffusing).

Playstation, Blu-Ray and such

[edit]

This search finds over 3500 articles with "Playstation", all of which (or almost all) should be "PlayStation". Similarly, "Blu-Ray" should be "Blu-ray" in nearly 3000 articles. These are among the common errors hinted at in Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations; I keep fixing links to them, so the number of links is small, but they keep coming back and the errors in contexts that are not links aren't getting reported. If someone would like to make an AWB setup to run now and then to catch such things, that would sure help stamp out widespread errors. Other common capitalization errors like failure to CamelCase in Paypal, Pepsico, Linkedin, Github, Doordash, Eastenders, etc., would also be good to catch and are also hinted at in that report. Some attention or smart pattern matching is needed to avoid changing in file names and such. Dicklyon (talk) 10:41, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Conversion of Template:Infobox Cyrillic letter

[edit]

I would like to request an AWB run to convert transclusions of {{Infobox Cyrillic letter}} to {{Infobox grapheme}} and {{Cyrillic alphabet sidebar}}. I have already done such conversions (semi-)manually by replacing {{Infobox Cyrillic letter|[...]}} with {{subst:User:Janhrach/Infobox Cyrillic letter|[...]}}. I think this method could be used to convert the rest, with help of AWB.

I have spotted some drawbacks, but I think I have handled them sufficiently. The title and audio params of Infobox_Cyrillic_letter are not supported by Infobox_grapheme; however, these appear to be unused (tracking categories: Category:Pages using Template:Infobox Cyrillic letter with param audio, Category:Pages using Template:Infobox Cyrillic letter with param title). There is no simple way to fill the letter param of Infobox_grapheme, and also the derived param is not converted into the proper format for fam1. The former drawback causes visible quirks only when the param derived is present; I have manually converted all transclusions containing derived and ensured the results are good. (See Category:Pages using Template:Infobox Cyrillic letter with param derived. The two drafts remain there because the characters in question are not in Unicode, and I am unsure if images are OK to be added to |letter=. Anyway, these are not going to be accepted because of unnotability.)

So I think this ready to be converted. Thank you very much for your help. Janhrach (talk) 17:00, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Doing... VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 19:09, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
and  Done. The majority of this task involved replacing one of several redirects to the target template, including {{Cyrillic navbox}}, {{Cyrillic alphabet navbox}}, and {{Cyrillic script navbox}}. Those redirects should be deleted along with the target template. Also, there were several instances where the deleted template was called without any parameters, and I replaced those directly with {{Cyrillic alphabet sidebar}}.

Many thanks. Janhrach (talk) 15:29, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Vanisaac, I still see about 30 transclusions of the template, which is preventing deletion. Primefac (talk) 16:25, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I assume that this is intentional, because these are in the User or Draft namespaces. I think the best thing to do is simply to remove the template transclusions – I think we should minimize messing with others' userspace, and as for the drafts, these are not going to be accepted because of unnotability, so we should not waste time on them. Janhrach (talk) 16:45, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's a rather flawed line of reasoning. If the template is already being replaced, why not just replace it everywhere? That way the person using the original template isn't struggling to figure out how to replace it themselves after it is removed/deleted. Helping another user isn't "messing with" their draft. Primefac (talk) 16:57, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, not all of the userspace pages are drafts. Some just put it on their user pages, or on non-draft subpages, e.g. User:Soap/interesting climates. Some of the editors are gone, probably forever. Janhrach (talk) 17:12, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So? Who cares? If a template needs replacing, it should be replaced. It shouldn't matter if it's on a live article, a user sandbox, or the user page of someone who hasn't edited in 20 years. Primefac (talk) 17:17, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I got the ones in user and draft namespaces. VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 18:08, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, if you have such a request in the future, you can use the Retarget page links in Move+, which you already seem to be using for RMs. That is a very simple interface for mass correcting links after a disambiguating or primary topic changing page move. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:57, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Huh, no way! Thanks for the tip @Bunnypranav. —Bobby Cohn (talk) 12:21, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
