Convert wayback links[edit]

  • Replace web.archive.org* with {{wayback}}

Regional Google links[edit]

 Checking...

  • Convert various regional google links (google.co.uk) to a standard google.com
  • Is this a case of "its not broken, don't fix it?" Need to do research on if it produces any actual change. Legoktm (talk) 16:42, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Convert google books to real book citations[edit]

  • Find a google books URL, turn it into a {{cite book}}
  • Use Google Books API ([1]) Combine with isbndb.com or another free source? (is this even needed?)


Dead link tagging[edit]

 Approved. will start doing batch runs in the next few days. Legoktm (talk) 17:31, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Identify links of the following form which are not inside a {{wayback}} or {{WebCite}} or used as a url= param for a citation template where an archiveurl= param is used -

  • ap.google  Done
  • canadianpress.google  Done
  • ukpress.google.com  Done
  • .geocities.com  On hold Some Geocities Plus sites are still up (ex: [2])
  • .btinternet.co.uk  Done
  • .btinternet.com  Done

and add a {{dead link}} tag. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

How many more press things does Google have??? Legoktm (talk) 01:24, 12 November 2012 (UTC)


http://www.google.com/buzz* appear to be dead links Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:12, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Flagging 'Tertiary Sources'[edit]

Identify (and if appropriate comment out (pending review)links to teritary sources such as :-

  • Google Answers (answers.google.*)
  • Yahoo Answers
  • Google Knol (Knol.google.*)

Any others people know of? 13:17, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't like the idea of just commenting out a certain reference, maybe a database report/list of pages for humans to work on? Legoktm (talk) 16:35, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

TAP Bot[edit]

 Will code...

Link expansion[edit]

 On hold

The links here:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALinkSearch&target=goo.gl http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALinkSearch&target=g.co

should probably be expand to full ones. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:33, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

  • API at [3] Legoktm (talk) 17:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
    • Code has been written (github). Need to do research on why g.co links are not blacklisted, and exclude goo.gl/maps links (below)

Convert goo.gl/maps/ links to use coord[edit]

 Will code...

Implementation brainstorm:

  • If a {{coord}} is already present, skip and log
  • Search for /maps/ links, expand them into full links extract coordinates or search query
    • If coordinates, parse them, add {{coord}} to the top, and log
    • If search query, use Nominatim to find coordinates
      • If only one result, apply {{coord}} to the top, and log
      • If multiple results, post a note on the talk page with a copy/paste code for {{coord}} that can be applied by a human. Need a hidden string (the maps url?) to avoid re-posts. (log once done)
        • Any smart thinking can be used here? Ex: If we know subject is in California, two results for California and Illinois show up, bot auto-chooses California

Questions:

  • Where does {{coord}} get placed?
  • ...

Template parameters for AWB[edit]

Redirected media cleanup[edit]

 Checking... There is a database report that lists unused or low use image redirects.

Would it be possible for a bot to Periodically run through this list updating if

  • Image is used in a mainspace article.
  • Image has been moved to a new name
  • Image is used in articlespace under the old name.

Alongside this change the bot should carry out general fixes. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:34, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Withdrawn BRFA's that were good ideas[edit]

De-cache Google links[edit]

  • Some have format of: //google.com/search&q=cache
Further on this

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:07_jk2n-Yt0J:the.honoluluadvertiser.com/current/ln/150photo/20061108 +monica+boyar+photo &hl=en &ct=clnk &cd=5 &gl=us &client=firefox-a\Monica

the original link is : http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/current/ln/150photo/20061108

So you need to extract the link between the third-colon and the first + symbol it would seem.

Then the link needs de-escaping , and a check made for the link being 404 (in which case a [dead link] tag should be added outside the accompanying [ ] tags
