Archive date in Farsi Wikipedia[edit]
Recent changes made the references red, the error is "Check date values in: |archive-date". Salome mi (talk) 11:23, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Salome mi, please link to a page where this is happening. Harej (talk) 21:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- Sure, I already fixed it though: https://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%DA%A9%D8%B1%D8%B4_%28%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%AF%29&diff=36633143&oldid=36271374&diffmode=source Salome mi (talk) 21:47, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Add 1 book for Verifiability[edit]
I wonder where are edits like this documented and configured. I don't think we originally approved this feature in our wiki, and also IABot interface doesn't seem to provide a way to switch it off without disabling the bot altogether. Book references necessarily don't need an URL, especially if this URL is to a limited preview (subscription item) such as in this example. @GreenC --Pikne 12:15, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Pikne, it is an option we have enabled for some wikis to add links to previews of books/print resources, in addition to fixing dead links. I can see this task wasn't approved on Estonian Wikipedia so it has been shut off there. Harej (talk) 21:09, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- This task appears to be still active: et:Special:Diff/6353198. Pikne 20:27, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Které stránky Wayback Machine archivuje?[edit]
Dobrý den, omlouvám se, že píši česky. Rád bych se zeptal, zda byste dokázali zodpovědět dotaz z české Wikipedie na stránce wikipedia:cs:Wikipedie:Pod lípou (technika)/Archiv 2022-1#Archivace URL opět (označuji @Draceane). Nevím, zda v tomto se Vy vyznáte, nebo nevyznáte, ale aspoň to zkouším a ptám se. Zajímalo by nás, zda víte, dle jakých kritérií Wayback Machine ukládá externí odkazy z Wikipedie a sesterských projektů. Ukládá jen odkazy z článků, nebo i z diskusních stránek, nebo i z jiných jmenných prostorů? Bere to odkazy například i ze šablon?
A věděli byste, proč někdy externí odkazy z článků uloží a jindy ne? Například wikipedia:cs:Kateř Tureček – některé externí odkazy nebyly uloženy v kolekci Wikipedia Eventstream.
Nebo stránka https://www.bbc.com/news/election-2019-50770798 není v kolekci Wikipedia Eventstream, ale přitom se nachází v článku wikipedia:cs:Diagram rozdělení voleb. Mohu dohledat i další příklady.
Děkuji za odpověď, pakliže víte. Marek Genius (talk) 18:12, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- Marek Genius, I am not sure if this answers your question, please let me know if it doesn't, but the Wayback Machine is crawling every external link posted to every Wikimedia wiki. It tries to save external links where it can, but if a site goes down before the bot gets to it, or something prevents any of the crawlers from getting to it, then it won't archive the link. It may also be possible for something to not end up in EventStream for whatever reason. Harej (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Empty ref name[edit]
Bot causing havoc (1, 2) as one as making a references mess when deleting content of all same-named references not even analyzing is that content the same or not when "optimizing" empty named (<ref name="">
) references. Any ideas how to avoid such bot activity? Be112 (talk) 20:10, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your report Be112. We are tracking the issue on Phabricator. Harej (talk) 20:24, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Harej: You're welcome. Probably there's an task name given does not fully convey the meaning of a problem as it's much wider. Probably it would be better to name it:
When two (or more) different references, all named "" (empty string), exist in an article, the bot removes all of them except first one leaving an error at all the next ones
as there's 3 such reflinks exists at given example and only 2 of them were deleted (first occurence - "''[[Аляксандр Уладзіміравіч Піскуноў..." was left intact).Be112 (talk) 00:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Dpreview[edit]
dpreview.com is going down. We've got about 1700 links to the site. Would it be possible to make sure they are all archived?Geni (talk) 01:39, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
