WikiProject Volleyball tagging

Last months I created over 5000 volleyball articles, but I didn't tag all the articles talk pages with WP Volleyball. Now I created a list of all the volleyball categories. I checked and delete wrong and double categories. Can all pages in these categories be tagged fot WP Volleyball? Thanks, Sander.v.Ginkel ^(Talk) 16:35, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Sander.v.Ginkel sure. Please make sure you followed all the steps described at User:Yobot#WikiProject_tagging. I assume good faith. Happy editing! -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:35, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Orphan issue on page that is well linked

This page Asmex_Digital was marked as an orphan for not being linked to any article. The article has been sufficiently linked except I'm getting it wrong here. Please I'll love this resolved. Daisybest (talk) 06:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Daisybest: An orphan is defined as "an article with no links from other pages in the main article namespace". If you look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Asmex_Digital, you'll see that there are no other articles that link to Asmex Digital. GoingBatty (talk) 03:11, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

De-orphaned "Urban Wrestling Alliance"

Hi.

isbn fixes

Not quite sure how this qualify as an ISBN fix... Yobot shouldn't be removing comments. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 12:06, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Headbomb the field only supports numbers. The numbers inside the comment are the same ISBN just in different format. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:10, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Comments are ignored by the template, and I'm well aware of the difference between ISBN10 and ISBN13. Still comments inside a parameter is not something that should be considered an 'error' or in need of a bot fix. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 13:33, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Just for information: on frwiki, we have added a parameter named "isbn10" that is not displayed, just for keeping record of ISBN10 related to an ISBN13. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 12:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

@NicoV and Bgwhite: -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:10, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

I intend to modify WPCleaner for not reporting comments inside ISBN/ISSN fields. Not sure when I will have the time... --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 12:25, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

@NicoV and Headbomb: still the comment before the ISBN is not a good idea since it prevents the wikimagic to be applied. Moreover, the 10/13 codes are equivalent and having both of them is redundant. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:21, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

It works perfectly fine in [1]. Templates ignore comments when they generate their output. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 13:33, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Some users again trying to defame Sujit Meher article

Dear Yobot,

Some users keep trying to defame Sujit Meher article which is about a renowned fashion designer. Infect I have seen this article contains so many useful media sources also. And he has placed in top 10 famous alumni top fashion institute of India as he belongs to. Please kindly go though the link, he has been listed among those top 10 alumni of NIFT, and even published in NIFT official website. So no need of any deletion request or debate on this particular article. Please i request you to kindly remove the deletion purpose tag from this article for a better wiki experience on such public figure profile and i request you kindly protect such article, where people keep trying to defame such public figure articles. Its a humble request to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Novelbuzz (talk • contribs) 06:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Bot issue

Resolved

Looks like your bot has marked far too many article assigned the Acadmic Journals banner as needing infoboxs - when clearly lists do not!

Looks like other problems are there too. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 13:53, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Kevinalewis. I ll fix them in a second run. I was not aware of lists. Thank for the heads up. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:54, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

• It's not only lists. This is also incorrect: the article has an infobox (just not the journal infobox). Learned societies also fall under this project, as do academic publishers (which will have different infoboxes). The bot also tagged academic journal as needing and infobox, which is incorrect, too... Perhaps this task is too complex for a bot, perhaps it would be better to generate a list of articles that can be curated by hand instead of tagging them immediately. --Randykitty (talk) 14:05, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

• Also [2] ppeople associated with the banner :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 14:06, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
• And this one, which has the magazine infobox (it is a magazine, but apparently deemed relevant for the journals wikiproject). --Randykitty (talk) 14:10, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
• just cleaned up a bunch of bad edits by the bot, including this one. Frietjes (talk) 14:22, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

I'll take responsibility here, in the bot request, I wrote "Articles tagged with {{WikiProject Academic Journals}} that do not have the journal infobox should be tagged with |needs-infobox=yes." when I meant "Articles tagged with {{WikiProject Academic Journals}} that do not have an infobox (any of them) should be tagged with |needs-infobox=yes."

Additionally, non-articles (specifically, dabs, lists, categories, etc...) should also not be tagged with |needs-infobox=yes.

Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:43, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

@Kevinalewis, Randykitty, Headbomb, and Frietjes: I removed |needs-infobox= from dabs, list and redirects. No categories, files, templates were tagged by the bot. In some cases the parameters was not added by the bot but by other editors. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:16, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

• That still leaves non-journal articles like academic journal, but those aren't too many and we can sort those out by hand. Personally, I often tag such articles with "needs-infobox=no" (only in cases where no infobox is present and no infobox should be present). Thanks for your efforts! --Randykitty (talk) 15:24, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Randykitty I set the bot to additionally skip pages with needs-infobox=no. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:25, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Actually that's a pretty good idea to have the explicit |needs-infobox=no. I always removed it as pointless, but it would help with bot runs. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 17:01, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

WP:CHICAGO tagging request

Can you please tag the untagged pages in the subcategories listed at WP:CHIBOTCATS with {{Chicago WikiProject}}.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:08, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Note a request has been made at Wikipedia:Bot_requests#WP:CHICAGO and notice has been made at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chicago#Tagging_request.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:12, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Auto assessments are preferred.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:13, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Some of these automatic tagging as relevant to WikiProject Chicago seem quite marginal. For example the article Berard Haile concerns a missionary and anthropologist who briefly studied at the University of Chicago. Automatic tagging should not be encouraged. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 03:02, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

SteveMcCluskey (cc: TonyTheTiger) when the marginal cases are few, we just tag and then remove the marginal cases.In fact pages to be tagged very few so bot is already done. I have done WPCHICAGO in the past so I proceeded already. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:53, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

It would be nice if you did "remove the marginal cases". From what I've seen, however, it seems that you just tag and leave it to those who regularly follow the articles you tag to clean up after you. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 14:36, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

If the category that links him to the project through academic experience is important enough to be on his page, the project would like to tag his article. We do have tags on many people who were briefly affiliated with the city. E.g., anyone who has played one game or more for the any of the pro teams is included. Being tagged is a low cost issue for such subjects which could have big benefits. The biggest thing that will happen to an article tagged by the project is that the article will show up at WP:CHIAA when a relevant administrative process is at issue. That often means there will be additional eyes when such subjects are up for discussion at WP:RM, WP:AFD, WP:RFC. There is little cost to the article to have the tag on its page and the benefit of additional eyes could make a difference. We are not declaring him a Chicagoan and branding him, we are just saying that WP:CHICAGOans may help discussions reach an appropriate conclusion.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:04, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

• Magioladitis, can you tell me how many WP:GA, WP:FA, WP:FL and WP:FP were tagged by the bot for the project.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:14, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
  • I see that Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Featured articles shows one new FA and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Good articles shows 14 new GAs. The FA is marginal and I have not looked through the GAs yet. Due to the proximity in time of the update for these pages to the tagging effort, I am not sure if these constitute final lists.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:24, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
    • • As I suspected, there were a few more articles that slipped into this weeks counts that another FA and more GAs showed up.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
    • TonyTheTiger: I see why you think the article should be tagged with wiki-project Chicago but I disagree with that rationale. As I understand wiki-project tagging, an article should be tagged when it could benefit from the spedialized expertise of members of a project. The article in question could benefit from the expertise of editors knowledgeable in linguistics or anthropology, and from those familiar with the concerns of writing biographies, but there is little to be gained from editors with expert knowledge of Chicago—and I grew up there ;).
    • Looked at from the perspective of the wikiproject itself, it really doesn't help members of project Chicago to have a list of 38,000 articles that may need their help. It would be much more helpful to wikiproject members—and to the encyclopedia—to have a short list of articles where their expertise could be helpful. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 00:14, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
      • SteveMcCluskey, There are various types of expertises among the WP:CHICAGO members willing to watch the article. Many have vast expertise of wikipedia editorial administration that could aid in the betterment of any article. I actually don't know much about Chicago. I moved here after the age of 35 and have only lived in one neighborhood of the city, but am willing to contribute any expertise in terms of wikipedia issues that may arise on any of the articles that we have tagged.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:16, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

You broke the chart. Ok sure, whatever, the bot isn't smart enough to know this particular template breaks in this situation. Then after it's reverted it applies the same edit again. Stop. Fix your bot. —Pengo 23:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Pengo A list of problem articles are created everyday and Yobot is one of the bots that try to fix these. There are several thousand articles created daily. Unless one tells the bot operator something is off, the bot operator isn't aware of the problem. It doesn't help to be pissy, just report a problem next time. The problem isn't the bot, as it is functioning correctly or the program that creates the list of errors, but with the article itself. One doesn't create a wikilink to itself. Per the instructions for the module, one does not add the wikilink, but instead leaves the value blank. I've done so on List of least concern reptiles. Bgwhite (talk) 00:09, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Pengo I said before, the bot was not malfunctioning. As part of AWB's general fixes, the bot fixes wikilinks that are to its ownself. I said I fixed the article by following the instructions on the Module page. The fix did the same thing as your code. You reverted my edit and then blocked the bot, an account you are having a dispute with. A bot hadn't run in 24 hours. Most bots are blocked with a talk page message, which also clearly stated on the bots user page. Also, as stated before, Yobot is only one of several bots who does this. Yobot got to it first, so your block did nothing. Bgwhite (talk) 06:59, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

I am confused on why this bot is adding {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} to pages already. I haven't given @BU Rob13: the go-ahead, as there are a few things I want to discuss first. I also need to go through the categories before this starts. Doesn't this need approval first anyway? Also, it is my understanding that these type of edits should not occur. The sole edit of a bot should not be just talk page clean-up. It should only clean-up the page if it has to make another edit. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:38, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Gonzo fan2007-Alternate I did not intent a full bot run. It was mainly a process setup. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:45, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

As you may have seen I already have commented to the process anyway. Since not everything is properly defined for a bot run. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:47, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm a bit bewildered as to why the process needed setting up when my posts at WP:BOTREQ indicated I was working on clarifying and taking on this task. This is not the first time we've had issues where we were both attempting to work on tasks simultaneously. Going forward, would you mind clearly indicating on a bot request when you're working on it? It makes little sense for us to both work on a task. As a side note, which approval supports Yobot auto-tagging across all projects? ~ Rob^Talk 17:48, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) You should not be testing in the mainspace. I am working with @BU Rob13: on this task and will ask for assistance if it is needed. I have half a mind to block this account for unauthorized bot editing (WP:COSMETICBOT) and just for plain stupidity. Please revert all of your bot edits now with a summary stating the previous run was premature and not per policy.

BU Rob13 I am working on providing a custom module for general use instead of F&R rules because till now you use the latter and the result was duplicated parameters. Anyway, no big harm.

BU_Rob13 and I were still discussing how we wanted the articles tagged. He had open questions that were not answered by me. Why would you have your bot start editing without asking either of us? Why is the bot performing cosmetic edits on talk pages, which is not per policy? Your edit summary invoked the Wikipedia:WikiProject Green Bay Packers name, which made it appear that it was sanctioned by the group, when it was not. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

OK. My sincere apologies. The custom module that is used my many bots is easily getting outdated thus I tried to check everything would be fine even if another bot would run the task.
