WikiProject bubbles no longer clickable
[edit]I cannot click the WikiProject bubbles as mentioned on this page's usage instructions: WikiProjects – If you are interested in tracking violations for one or more WikiProjects, you can do so using the WikiProject search at the top. You can also click on a WikiProject bubble for any record in the interface and that will show you all open cases for that WikiProject.
If this function no longer exists/works, then this text should be removed? Also, there is no longer a WikiProject search, but the search bar is for page titles. Waddie96 (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Indeed, this is a case of outdated documentation. Fixed! Thanks for pointing this out.
- WikiProject search was removed as I don't believe anyone was using it, and it required we duplicate the data from mw:Extension:PageAssessments. In other words, there is a cost to having a WikiProjects search. If enough people want it back, we can explore the idea, but it would probably take a while to get it implemented. Simply showing the associated WikiProjects however doesn't cost us anything. — MusikAnimal talk 03:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
US Supreme Court Decisions
[edit]Hey all. I have been doing a lot of work with US Supreme Court cases lately, and copying text from the opinions into articles. The text is public domain, so it is not a copyright violation. But it frequently gets picked up by CopyPatrolBot anyway. (E.g., [1]). Can someone figure out what URL(s) the bot is finding SCOTUS cases at? It might be appropriate to add them as exceptions to the Urlignorelist, especially if it's just the text of the opinion as available from a site like Justia.

- Lokking at the articles you created recently it picked up links to https://www.repository.law.indiana.edu, https://ecommons.cornell.edu and http://www.law.uoregon.edu. Nobody (talk) 06:41, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hm. It's probably picking up quotes in people's articles about the cases. Nothing to be done about it, then. Ah well. Lethargilistic (talk) 18:00, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
can't login
[edit]when I try to login I get this message repeatedly "OAuth callback URL not found in cache. This is probably an error in how the application makes requests to the server." safari on Mac OS enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 03:12, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Regarding Copyright notice
[edit]I see in my watchlist the following: Potential copyright violation log b 06:47 CopyPatrolBot talk contribs marked revision 1367298878 on Angry young man (India) as a potential copyright violation Tag: PageTriage It is referring to this article: Angry young man (India). I used references for all points in the article. Can you tell me what the potential violation is and I can fix it? Thank you-Classicfilms (talk) 07:00, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- Regarding this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_young_man_(India)
- Hi Classicfilms. This was a false positive. The sysyem was triggered by the quotation you added in a quote box.Diannaa (talk) 15:05, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Diannaa- my apologies, it was a formatting error. I put the reference in the wrong place the first time I posted (I did a preview but failed to notice it)- when I did notice, I moved the reference to the correct space. Thank you-Classicfilms (talk) 17:50, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- But the system did not flag it because of lack of a citation. It was flagged because the prose you added was a match for material found elsewhere online. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:35, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- I'm a little confused - isn't that the point of a quote box? To quote from an existing source? Or is this just a known bug with the bot? -Classicfilms (talk) 20:54, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call it a bug, but a false positive by the bot. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:47, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Paste Check
[edit]Idk whether there's some way for CopyPatrol to take advantage of mw:Paste Check? Kowal2701 (talk) 15:09, 7 October 2026 (UTC)
- CopyPatrol does indicate whether the editor received a paste edit check message. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 03:44, 9 October 2026 (UTC)
