Web2Cit improvements

Hi, @DrThneed!

I'm writing to you because you are listed as one of the top contributors to Web2Cit collaborative configurations. Thank you for your support!

I'm considering applying for a Rapid Fund grant to support working on some long-pending tasks to improve user experience, fix annoying bugs and encourage developer participation.

I'm still deciding on the list of tasks I will include in the proposal. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it if you could leave your feedback here.

Thank you! Diegodlh (talk) 16:14, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Web2Cit template paths

Hi @DrThneed! Thank you for being a Web2Cit contributor!

Some translation templates you have worked on may need attention. Could you help us fix them?

Translation templates should be based on specific webpages and ideally should have corresponding translation tests indicating the expected output. This is important for maintainability, so other contributors can understand why a template has been set in some way, and so the Web2Cit Monitor can detect when citations break.

We found some templates for paths that do not have a corresponding test. This is usually because the path is generic (i.e., not corresponding to a specific webpage of interest; e.g., / or /**), or simply because a translation test hasn't been defined for that path.

Here's a list of domain configurations you have contributed to, and corresponding template paths for which no tests have been defined. Other editors may have contributed to these files as well and they will or have been notified too.

To help us, for as many of these paths as you can, could you please make sure:

1. that it corresponds to a specific webpage of interest, and
2. that a corresponding translation test has been defined?

Domain	Template path
www.heritage.org.nz	/list-details/9100/Siedeberg-McKinnon House#details
www.nzherald.co.nz	/**

For the full list of domains affected, you can check our new Web2Cit Monitor Results with missing tests category.

Note that to help prevent this issue in the future, the templates editor has been updated to only accept paths that already have a test defined.

Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you again for your support!

Hi @DrThneed! The message above was automated and www.heritage.org.nz configuration was actually correct. I'll strike it through on the table above. Sorry for that! Diegodlh (talk) 18:27, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

This month, to deconflict the Café meetups from Wikimania, the meetups will be held one day later than usual.

Please see the Café page for more information, including how to register!
