Requesting Project Tagging

Resolved

In reference to User:Yobot#WikiProject_tagging and Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_143#Do_we_have_a_bot_which_could_add_missing_WP_talk_templates_to_articles_in_a_category_tree.3F, I'd like to request the addition of {{WikiProject Poland}} to articles that are missing it from the following categories: Category:Polish sportspeople (or even better, Category:Polish people). Subcategories should be included as well, through I understand we may have a recursion problem. Ping me if this is problematic and we can discuss the details. But if we cannot include subcategories, I am not sure how to create a list of subcategories without spending hours on that... PS. I'd hope the bot would work like this: create a list of eligible pages from the category, then remove all duplicates, then check which has the template (or a redirect-to), then remove those, then use the resulting list for its job. Wouldn't this work? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:37, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

So.... anybody reading this page for requests? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Piotrus yes. I always give a 3 day period for any comments. I'll start tonight. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:13, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Were you able to start? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:14, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Piotrus it takes so long because someone has to check the category tree. Loading all the subcategories of Category:Polish people will gets something rally nasty. Trust me. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:22, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Yobot tagged about 500 pages today. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:00, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Let me know if there is something I can do to help. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:40, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Removing issue from citation

Resolved

why is Yobot removing the issue from the citation? yes, there is a duplicate issue parameter, but the first one is the volume and the second one is the issue. this is the exact sort of duplicate parameter problem that should be corrected by hand, and not by a bot.

{{PAGENAME}}

Hello Yobot and Magioladitis, please can you help me understand Special:Diff/722975596. This appears to be (a) a white-space only change, and (b) defeating the use of the {{PAGENAME}} macro that was intentionally used for automatic indexing when preceded by a space. —Sladen (talk) 07:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Sladen magicwords should be avoided. usually, because they are sensitive in page renaming etc. So the bot replaced the magicword PAGENAME with its actual value. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Magioladitis, (1) per what policy should {{PAGENAME}} be avoided. It is frequency used for this purpose. (2) Please explain why Yobot is making what appears to be white-space only changes. —Sladen (talk) 07:39, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Sladen where are the white-space only changes? Can you please provide a diff so I can check it? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:40, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
@Bgwhite: for the first one. Sladen take note that there are no pages with magicwords such as PAGENAME in Wikipedia right now. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:42, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Magioladitis, In the diff we are discussing (Special:Diff/722975596) it would appear that 100% of the changes were cosmetic changes which did not affect the rendered appearance of the page were made. (1) On what claimed policy basis was the {{PAGENAME}} removed from the category indexing? (a change that had no impact on the rendered page); and (2) Why did Yobot insert white-space between two sub-headings (a change that had no impact on the rendered page)? —Sladen (talk) 07:48, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Sladen for the blank line: We are based on MOS:HEADINGS where it reads " The heading must be typed on a separate line. Include one blank line above the heading, and optionally one blank line below it, for readability in the edit window (but not two or more consecutive blank lines, which will add unnecessary visible white space in the rendered page). There is no need to include a blank line between a heading and sub-heading.". -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:55, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Magioladitis, Yes precisely, "There is no need to include a blank line between a heading and sub-heading." —so (2) why did the bot you are responsible for go out of its way to to add a blank line between a heading and a sub-heading? —Sladen (talk) 08:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Sladen maybe there is a bug then. I'll have a a further look later. You can report AWB bug in Phabricator. I can report it myself in less than an hour. Thanks for the heads up! -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:03, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
There is no need to include a blank line between a heading and sub-heading was added by SlimVirgin without consensus. There was already a discussion about removing it in AWB and RJ said it would only be fixed with consensus.
There are no articles with PAGENAME. Where does it say one needs to use PAGENAME in category indexing? It doesn't. The only use for PAGENAME and indexing mentioned is in template namespace. Fixing template and maintenance categories has been a long standing practice for bot use. Yobot has bot permission to fix this. Bgwhite (talk) 08:12, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

@Sladen: -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Magioladitis, thank you for the proposal to undertake your responsibilities as a bot-owner and reporting it. I hope the bot will remain stopped until the bug has been fixed and deployed. Bgwhite, (1) if a change does not have clear consensus, or the consensus is disputed then the bot should stay away and leave well alone. If the change is white-space only, the bot should stay away. When there is a disputed/unclear basis, and the change is cosmetic/white-space the bot should definitely being staying well-clear. (2) for category indexing with {{PAGENAME}}, I fear the interpretation seems to be backwards. This is the first time I recall seeing automatic-indexing removed on my watchlist; when used in category indexing it allows prefixed automatic indexing (sorting) even when a page is renamed. The alternatives are (a) to expand-the-full-index-key-out-long-hand as the bot attempted, but this does not follow renames, or (b) to end up with multiple prefixed articles with the same index key of only " " space. I'm not aware of anything saying it must be used, neither would I expect any. However my question was the basis for a bot removing automatic prefixed indexing, and I would expect the responsible bot owners to be able to point to one. (c) if the entire set of changes are white-space, then the bot should really-really-really stay away. We had what I understood to be undertakings about skip conditions in recently when Magioladitis was serving out a block. —Sladen (talk) 08:40, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Sladen the PAGENAME in the page in question is useless though. The problem was with the old defaultsort. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Magioladitis, no, it's not useless. This statement suggests that one of us has an incomplete understanding of how category indexing works. Luckily the different behaviour is quite easy to test!… —Sladen (talk) 08:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Sladen
  1. This was not a white-space only change as PAGENAME was removed. This was a template fix which is permitable. If it only added the blank line, then that is cosmetic.
  2. This is the first time I recall seeing automatic-indexing removed on my watchlist No indexing was removed. The indexing key is identical with PAGENAME, with PAGENAME substituted and only a space given. PAGENAME is useless. It serves no purpose. PAGENAME is NOT USED ANYWHERE IN ANY ARTICLES. You should never had been added. Bots also remove the indexing key when it is identical to DEFAULTSORT.
  3. The long talk about Magioladitis' block said template fixes and maintenance categories are ok. For the second time, They have always been ok. Top Gear (1977 TV series) and List of Top Gear (original format) episodes have always worked just ok with a space.
Bgwhite (talk) 09:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Bgwhite, looking into this, the reason there don't appear to be any is because they appear to have been systematically removed… What I can't tell from your edits like Special:Diff/686458278 is whether the prefix removal was an artifact of the human, or in the implementation of the script. —Sladen (talk) 09:53, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Paging Bgwhite. Were the indexing alterations in the large-scale undiscussed removal of {{PAGENAME}} intentional, or accidental, or a bug? —Sladen (talk) 15:48, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

How's that supposed to be helping? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flugaal (talk • contribs) 17:32, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Flugaal, this particularly edit is okay. The two rules that operated in this case were (a) moving punctuation before references, and (b) ordering references numerically. This would be significantly easier to follow if AWB/operators of AWB accurately stated what had actually been performed. —Sladen (talk) 17:41, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

The punctuation after ref was completely intentional. It does not cover the whole sentence, just the word before.
And why the empty line separating just that one heading from its content?--Flugaal (talk) 17:45, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Flugaal per WP:REFPUNCT the punctuation rule is definite. In Greek, it would not be like that but it turns in English punctuation always goes before references.

Flugaal, Sladen creating a clear edit summary with our current code is a real pain. It is a longstanding feature request though because it is the source of many complains. I recently added comments in the code. I hope this is a step forward to create better autogenerated edit summaries. I need help in T111663. This will enable more free bytes for the edit summary. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:49, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Why should it apply like that here? Do you see my point? Placing the reference after the punctuation creates a misleading situation here. To cite your rule: "ref tags should immediately follow the text to which the footnote applies" – It applies to just one word, the period is not part of the word, so, following the rule, the correct place is before the period in this case.--Flugaal (talk) 17:57, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

2016 National Pro Fastpitch season

Resolved

What is it about the code on 2016 National Pro Fastpitch season that makes the bot edit it? I think this is the second time the location map has been broken. (The bot adds a brace, and markers for teams' cities fly off the map.) Jjwyatt (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Jjwyatt The last diff, clearly shows what is wrong. You had {{Location map+|USA|width=350|float=none} . At the end, there is only one brace. The bot will add a second brace as it thinks that ends the template. You are also using <b>, which is HTML and not wikicode. Please use wikicode. Bgwhite (talk) 04:58, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
BgwhiteWhat I don't understand is that before the bot's edit, the six teams' cities are within the USA map, but, after the edit, the cities are all over the page.
When I experimented with the original edit and replaced the closing double-brace with a single-brace, it also messed up the cities. I originally copied the template from another page, but I can't remember which.
(Some anonymous user added the b tags. I'll replace them when I update the page later.) Jjwyatt (talk) 06:09, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
Jjwyatt The problem is there should be no brackets at that location. There was one and then the bot added two. The two brackets caused the cities and the map to go all haywire as it closed off the template at that point. The rest of the info was treated as text.
Sure... an "anonymous user" did it. Hey, that doesn't work with my wife when I tell her some anonymous person caused the problem. It's not going to work on me. :) Bgwhite (talk) 06:16, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Pengo You really need to stop your page ownership issues. Wikipedia is a place where anybody can edit, even your pages. You can't keep people away from making legitimate edits. This was a legitimate edit. You've only made four edits in the six-year existence of the page, so stop your ownership delusions. Magioladitis edited under his username, don't leave messages for him on his bot's page. Bgwhite (talk) 08:08, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Pengo Once again, anybody can make a manual edit and it doesn't have to fit your definition of "productive". Per WP:OWNBEHAVIOR, An editor reverts a change simply because the editor finds it "unnecessary" without claiming that the change is detrimental. The definition of "bot-like" is high-speed editing, not your made-up definition. You cannot tell people to stop editing YOUR articles. Bgwhite (talk) 07:44, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
I've wasted many hours reverting and fixing your bot's changes in the past. Please stop. —Pengo 14:02, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Pengo No, you cannot tell anyone to stop editing your articles with valid edits. This is about manual edits, not bots. Stop your ownership issues. If I see an error on a page you own, I will fix it. The bots were following MOS, you were not. 5.2 million articles and 8 years, you are the only one who disregards MOS on this issue. Your ~15 articles are the deviant. Expect issues when you say MOS and admin rules don't apply to you. Other bots do the same, so have fun when they come by. Go back to your corner of Wikipedia, work on your articles and understand you cannot force anybody not to edit any article on Wikipedia if done legally. I won't respond anymore as you just can't fathom WP:OWN, no matter how much you say it doesn't apply to you. Bgwhite (talk) 08:39, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

I've created and have been maintaining around 57 pages of IUCN Red Listed species. Most of the pages are listed here: User:Beastie Bot/table. The IUCN recently updated their listings for the first time this year, and I've been working to update the pages, which is tedious partly because there any many issues to fix around how they are presented and how to select common names, and partly because I attempt not to clobber edits from other users. This can be a time consuming process. (Beastie Bot does not do any edits because I paste them in myself to check over the changes) Many of the user edits to the pages have been helpful, such as finding typos and mistakes in the data, some of which I've relayed back to the IUCN, sometimes it's been neutral such as choosing a different common name for species (e.g. an IP editor changed African wild ass to African wild donkey, which I've kept when regenerating the pages). And sometimes I'm bombarded with utterly useless or deleterious edits from WCW bots, especially BG19bot and Yobot. At one point Yobot started breaking the pie chart graphic [2]. I reverted its changes and it did it again. Honestly? At this point I am literally having a revert war with a bot which is repeatedly re-breaking a page. I cannot go and update any other pages which I was about to update because the bot will go and break those pages too as they have similar wikicode. So now I'm stuck and I have to confront the bot owner, Magioladitis, whose broken bot is messing up. Literally, it's an automated tool to mess up a page in an attempt to something that has absolutely no purpose other than to rack up edits and bloat the Wikipedia database. If you haven't guessed, by now my opinion of these WCW bots is not high. Magioladitis claims his bot is "not malfunctioning" and refuses to fix it. He does not stop its edit warring behaviour, and does not fix its behaviour with the template it breaks, but he instead works around the problem by moving the wikicode that his bot can't deal with to a separate template where his bot will leave it alone. Ok, fine, whatever. He also says "Pengo please read the instructions. You could add a tag on the pages to avoid Yobot revisiting till the issue is handled." Read the instructions, he says. "till the issue is handled" he says. It's not being handled. He is not handling it. There's no link to any instructions. I don't care for this bot. I just don't want this bot to go around messing up pages. But I file away in the back of my head for later that there are "instructions". So he graciously applied a work around to a number of pages, but there are many more pages that I haven't updated yet that I will have to do the same workaround for or else his bot—which he apparently cannot control—will mess up those pages too, repeatedly, even if its edits are reverted. So I spend my time making these changes, making a bunch of separate templates for these charts, which I did admittedly plan to do eventually but not just because PointlessBot is broken and is threatening to break any page that I don't fix in this way. I did have a lot of higher priorities for things to fix with the lists (e.g. there are none for threatened plant species yet). While I'm making edits, I decide to change non-breaking spaces on the pages to use a Unicode non-breaking space instead of the &nbsp; code, as as to make it more readable in the wikicode. And now BG19bot decides it doesn't like this and starts replacing them with ordinary spaces. I don't know if there's a preferred way of including nonbreaking spaces on Wikipedia, and I really don't care, but this bot is not doing it, it's just stripping them. So, given my previous experience with WCW bots, I started adding the code to stop BG19bot. Sorry, I do admit I did get the two bots mixed up, as they both make many completely useless edits and are both part of the same project. I would have included both bots in the bot-deny tag if I had realized sooner. But anyway, the next thing I know Bgwhite removes the bot-deny tag from the page. Now, not only is his useless bot going to fuck up every page I upload, he's personally going to make sure of it by removing the tag to stop his bot from doing so. His edit comment was "Follow the instructions". Well I'd already spent quite some time looking for those instructions previously to work out how to format this bot-denial tag as there isn't an obvious link to it on his bot's page (And I'm not sure even has any effect as his bot is listed as ignoring it) but I immediately went back to User:BG19bot again to look for any "instructions" to follow, and the only instructions were for how to shut it off so I followed them as requested. Can I ask you and your WCW friends to kindly refrain from editing or vandalizing any of the pages listed currently or in future on User:Beastie_Bot/table. I have zero interest in helping you fix your bots. You cannot simply demand editors help you with your malfunctioning garbage, as you have demanded from me. Please stop your bots from continuing to vandalize these pages. I don't like having to write your dumb bot's name on pages to stop it messing things up but it's the only automated way I know how. Apologies again for getting the two of you, and your bots which do identical things, confused. —Pengo 16:58, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

a wiki-ignoramus here, so excuse me if I'm wrong about this, but seems to me Yobot added a factually incorrect statement to Kars4Kids: It was founded by Cody Charvat. I don't know where a bot could have gotten that info from but it is not accurate (nor is it sourced). The founder of Kars4Kids is actually Eli Mintz (This page gives him the title CEO but he is also the organization's founder.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.247.179.106 (talk) 14:20, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

From what I can see, Yobot is fine. The offending addition was made in a series of edits in July 2016. Of course the addition was wrong and has since been corrected to sourced founder "Chaim Mintz". Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Yobot

I am sure that Yobot does not have a bot authorizaton to undo others' edits [3]. Please remember that any other edits need to be made on your personal account, not under the bot account, which can only be used for approved tasks. As for the edit [4], no non-trivial change is visible, only the removal of whitespace and the replacement of redirects. Therefore AWB bots are not permitted to make such edits. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:29, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

CBM I undid using Yobot by accident. I directly switched to my normal account. The edit is legitimate though. This kind of wikilink is simplification is welcome. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:35, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Both [[Cat|cat]] and [[cat]] produce the same HTML, which is <p><a href="/wiki/Cat" title="Cat">cat</a></p>. There is no change to the visible page, because there is no change to the underlying HTML. I have just verified this. Therefore, such changes are trivial edits for the purposes of AWB, and can only be saved by AWB when there is a non-trivial edit made at the same time. I do not see the non-trivial edit it [5] that would permit it to be saved. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
CBM you are right that the html is the same. Fixing these is considered a good edit by the community. I believe this the reason is was introduced as a CHECKWIKI error many years ago but not by me. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:49, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
CHECKWIKI does not override the AWB rules, though, or the rules against making trivial edits with bots. (They can anything to CHECKWIKI at any time, with no oversight at all.) The longstanding community consensus is that trival changes should only be made if there is a nontrivial change to make at the same time. Otherwise, Yobot needs to skip the edit. Also, it is not necessary to ping me every time you reply, your edit is perfectly visible on the page. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:51, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of {{Persondata}}

Hi Yobot,

I'm the bot who is deleting {{Persondata}}. I noticed your edit on Kelly Gallardo in which you added {{Persondata}}. This template is deprecated and deleted. Please stop adding {{Persondata}}.

Yobots daily screwing up of lay-out

I can revert daily an edit that Yobot is making and ironically calls it a "fix" in the edit summary. It's about the List of conquistadors in Colombia. The breaks in the image caption are there to keep the image title and list separated on purpose. The lay-out is screwed up on a daily basis, where Yobot deletes the breaks and the first name (Alonso de Ojeda) is put directly after the title. I hope the page can be added to the exception list, because it gets pretty irritating seeing this daily revert... thanks, Tisquesusa (talk) 06:59, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Tisquesusa I'm not sure what error Yobot is trying to fix, however, there are many errors.
  1. Don't use small tags in image descriptions. Image description is already small. Adding small tags breaks accessibility.
  2. You are using <br> tags in the image description as a list. This is also an accessibility issue. Use {{plainlist}}. The beginning line of the template's documentation reads, This template provides a WCAG/ISO-standards-compliant accessible alternative to <br />
  3. You are using double br tags in a row. This violates HTML standards and MOS. br tags are not to be used to create blank space. (this is minor)
  4. You are using color for wikilinks. This is to be avoided at all costs. Wikilinks should remain the standard blue so people know it is a wikilink. I'd suggest using {{legend}} or similar template.

I would like to stop Yobot. It's eliminating the size designations (200px etc.) and adding "upright" to my images. That messes up the layout and is not a "fix". WQUlrich (talk) 18:09, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I double checked the edit history in more detail, you're right, sorry. WQUlrich (talk) 18:31, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
While we're in touch, maybe you can answer this question. Why do some editors remove the size designations? I've encountered that in the past two or three times. There isn't any guideline against using them, is there? And what does "upright" do anyway? I experimented and I can't see any difference. WQUlrich (talk) 18:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

@Frietjes: to answer that. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:01, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

WQUlrich, if you click on the preferences link at the top right of the page, under the 'appearance' tab you will see a place where you can set the thumb size. by hard coding the image size, you disable this feature for that particular image. for more on upright, see Help:Visual file markup/upright. this parameter simply scales the default thumbsize. so, if we didn't use any hard coded image sizes, and just used thumb and upright, I could set my personal thumb size to smaller and all the images would be scaled smaller by the same proportion. Frietjes (talk) 19:06, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
@Frietjes: Thank You. I guess I'll just carry on as always. If I went back to check all 880 articles I've created, I'd probably discover worse things than image size changes! That's Wikipedia life. WQUlrich (talk) 19:19, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Jumbled references

Yobot has been re-ordering references following lists of states (perhaps to put them in numerical order?), such that it is no longer clear to the reader which reference applies to which state. I had fixed the order several times before finding that yobot was returning to jumble the refs again. See [6] and [7]

What can be done to keep yobot from screwing these refs up, and to prevent it from similarly messing up other pages? Bcharles (talk) 06:12, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Bcharles The refs need to go with the statement they are sourcing, not a jumble at the end. Currently, it doesn't matter what order is done because the reader doesn't know what it is to begin with. It is real confusing. So.... The ref for each state should go right after the state's name. This way, the reader knows exactly which ref goes with Arizona. Egads, I tried to find Yobot in the article's history. After going over 50,000 edits made today, I gave up. Bgwhite (talk) 07:42, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
I don't think the question was for how they could re-arrange the page for the sake of the bot. The editors have already placed the references; the question was how to prevent Yobot from rearranging them. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
CBM I never mentioned the bot, I said reader. I also said it doesn't matter which order...bot placed or editor placed. Try for once to assume good faith and not always evil. Egads. There were 17 references at the end of the sentence that contained 24 states. Having 17 refs and the reader knowing which one goes to which state is impossible. My advice was for the reader, not for some nefarious evil doings. Bgwhite (talk) 18:58, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Bcharles This is a long-term issue with AWB. If operators are not careful, it can rearrange references. The only solution at the moment is to use {{bots|deny=AWB}}, which will prevent most AWB bots from editing the page. A better fix hypothetical fix would be for AWB to gain the ability for certain pages to turn off certain features, so that for example a page with a carefully chosen reference order will not see it changed. But that is long off, so in the meantime the only solution is to use the bots template and watch to page in case an AWB bot somehow ignores that template. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Bgwhite, CBM, Thanks for looking into this. Links to the difs where the edits occurred are in my original post. I don't know if their is any value in re-odering refs in general. This seems like a function that should be used very sparingly. As a heavily edited page bot fixes are important to clean up issues left by inexperienced or careless editors, so i don't want to deny bots. Should i open this issue on AWB's talk page? Bcharles (talk) 16:44, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Bcharles you can just add a comment between the two references and AWB won't change anything. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:58, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
  • Bcharles and Carl, I've raised this issue of form over content many times with Magioladitis, including at Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 49#AWB blues (May 2015). Magioladitis wants us to add comments between refs to stop AWB from moving them, but that it isn't a reasonable request on developing articles where refs are being moved around a lot.
Editors often place refs in a particular order for an editorial reason: Mary likes cake, but John doesn't.<ref name=Mary/><ref name=John/> AWB editors will change the order if the Mary ref has a number higher than the John ref, which happens if the John ref is introduced elsewhere in the article earlier than the Mary ref. The chronological order will keep changing as the named references are moved around during article development. That's one reason chronological order should be ignored.
The feature was added to AWB in February 2009 at the suggestion of Headbomb. Madioladitis supported it. JLogan objected. Rjwilmsi added it. I would love to see that feature removed.
A partial solution in the meantime is to use the {{r}} template, as in Mary likes cake, but John doesn't.{{r|Mary|John}} SarahSV (talk) 18:46, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for these workarounds. These are lists of a dozen or so refs, so that is a lot of null comments. I have been considering moving all the refs to the bottom of the table, which would reduce redundancy as well. Though some of the lists are independent of the table. Bcharles (talk) 19:21, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Bcharles, the broader point is that no one should have to find these workarounds because of AWB. During the May 2015 discussion, Rjwilmsi suggested opening a discussion at WT:CITE to establish consensus that footnotes do not have to appear in articles in chronological order, and if that's established he would remove the feature from AWB. The only reason I didn't move ahead with that is that I dislike spending time on these issues, but it seems to be the only way to stop this. SarahSV (talk) 19:44, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Quotations and single newlines

Hi Magioladitis, I would like to bring to your attention the edits Yobot is persistently making to the article Matthew Spring such as this. These quotations are not required per WP:REFNAME which states: Quotation marks are optional if the only characters used are letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9, and the symbols ! $ % & ( ) * , - . : ; < @ [ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ This is the case in this instance, yet Yobot is still adding quotations. These single newlines that Yobot is adding are also unnecessary as they do not alter the layout of the article at all. Please ensure that Yobot ceases this disruptive automated editing. Thanks, LTFC 95 (talk) 21:35, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

@Bgwhite and NicoV: -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:39, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

LTFC 95 If I'm understanding you correctly, you are worried about
<ref name=Nottm Forest&Leeds> changed to <ref name="Nottm Forest&Leeds">
The issue has nothing to do with all the characters you mentioned. You only read and quoted the top half of WP:REFNAME and not all of it. Instead, the issue has to do with the space. Per WP:REFNAME:
Inclusion of any other characters, including spaces, requires that the reference name be enclosed in quotes: name="John Smith".
In many cases, a space in a ref name will cause the named part not to work. Yobot is working fine in this case and is not doing disruptive automated editing. Bgwhite (talk) 00:22, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Bgwhite. Apologises, I had missed the space in the ref name which was why Yobot was making the corrections. I was already aware of the issues that spaces cause in ref names, but I always avoid using quotations when a ref name doesn't include a space. Thank you. LTFC 95 (talk) 13:36, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Edit Warring with Vjmlhds

Hi there. Not familiar with this side of Wikipedia so hopefully this goes over well. I have since added a new section in the Talk page of the List of Ring of Honor Personnel going over why I believe Vjmlhds is wrong in his edits to the page in what I think, hopefully, is a respectable way.

I do apologise for edit warring as you stated, and it's a shame Vjmlhds seems to think I am doing this out of some malicious intent, even though I believe them to be wrong in this instance and they seem to double down on them, in my mind, incorrect correction. I will also talk to them about it and hopefully we can come to a better understanding without it hopefully leading to him or anyone blocking me for trying to make a genuinely, in my mind, correct correction to the page in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:DC0A:9600:9C01:CC7C:BDB8:A4A6 (talk) 23:56, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

क्षत्रिय गौरव सिंह राघव the bot is not adding information on Wikipedia. It only fixes syntax mistakes. Please provide a link that you think the bot added false information on Wikipedia. -- Magioladitis (talk) 04:43, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Notice of Revision of page Bempflingen

This is a notice of revision made to the page Bempflingen. Your bot originally edited the page on 1 January, 2021, "Removing invisible unicode characters + other fixes (Task 55)." This resulted in multiple error messages in-text and messed up the entire article's formatting. I have restored the default page. If you wish to manually edit the page again, please do so but carefully. Cheers! Knightoften (talk) 04:54, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Johnpacklambert what do you want this bot to do about that, it has been inactive for over a year. — xaosflux Talk 23:38, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Supposed "Vandalism" by this bot

Dear User:Magioladitis, could you please have a look at this edit: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Odenbach_%28Glan%29&type=revision&diff=997650210&oldid=994164132 ? Before this edit, the article was readable, after that it is not. (I am not interested in the subject, i came to the article while repairing nbsp accidents, i.e. when "nbsp" is by accident displayed in the read view. I am de-N, en-2.) Himbeerbläuling (talk) 13:39, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Dear User:Knightoften, i suppose my complaint against the bot is about the same issue as your êdit two sections above here. Do you know whether it had consequences? Thank you in advance. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 18:11, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
@Himbeerbläuling Hi! One of the sections was made entirely unreadable, with error messages visible when just viewing the page. After I undid the bot's edit, the text seems fine! I believe the bot is attempting to change "formatting blanks." The Odenbach (Glan) article you were looking at appears to have the same type of graphic as in the Bempflingen article.

Thank you. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 06:25, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Shailendra_Raj_Mehta

Hello @Yobot , in 2016, you have marked Shailendra Raj Mehta with "BLP" tag, I have reviewed the content and it seems updated with relevant references. Can you remove the tags or allow me to remove that? Njoy deep (talk) 10:34, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
