Hello, On January 12 2016 you edited Franz Bauman and commented "person data no longer needed". Here is the link to the old version [1] Why did you do it? Thanks -- Hans ( talk) 08:51, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
InceptionBot lists newly created articles with their creator, as well as pages moved from a non-main namespace to the main namespace with their mover. The bot should also list redirects that have been turned into non-redirects with the user who turned the redirects into non-redirects, which like the first two cases, are also shown in Special:NewPagesFeed.

Hi, I was wondering if there is any possibility that the new articles updating could somehow be done without a bot flag, since it's not affecting tons of articles? Like many people I suspect, I've had to turn off bots on my watchlist because KasparBot's transferring of PersonData to Wikidata is making it unreadable - but it's also taking the new articles bot off my page so that I have to remember where to find it to check it.

Hi! At the request of User:Rosiestep, I've been trying to put together a tool to help WikiProject Women in Red compile their monthly list of newly created articles. Some of the sources they use to put together this list are the AlexNewArtbot pages that InceptionBot maintains, like User:AlexNewArtBot/WomenWritersSearchResult. But I've run into a problem: the MediaWiki API will only return a list of links for the current revision of a page. Because the lists only include the latest ~14 days, it's not easy to reconstruct all the pages that were listed in a longer timeframe.
Would it be possible to add a new configuration option so that instead of 14 days, those pages would keep pages listed for a longer period?-- ragesoss ( talk) 05:37, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, I see you have also reverted the removal of maintenance templates and such in the Rohit Khattar article. Any thoughts as to what can be done here, the editors are still removing them, as well as reverting to incorrect manual of style and layout. To me, it looks like editors claiming ownership because they will not allow others to fix even the smallest of grammar errors, such as removing the capital letter from words that are not proper nouns. If I shouldn't have asked this here on your talk page, I apologize, it was just that you were the previous editor before my edit was made and I thought you might be able to help.

Would it be possible to configure Template Parameters so that the currently blacklisted templates show specific pages where Value Counts below some arbitrary value? Looking through the reports for blacklisted templates, I see an enormous number of parameters that are one-off typos for a valid parameter or guesses at parameters that the template can't support. The report for {{ Nihongo}} has 9 parameters that have Value Counts of 3 or more, and hundreds at 1 or 2. If Value Counts of 1, 5, 10 or even 100 were set to display specific pages linked from black listed templates, it would open up enormous opportunites for cleaning up bad parameters.
If displaying pages for low Value Count parameters isn't easy to achieve, can I request I full report (blacklist override) for {{ Taxobox}} with the October update? I know I said I'd ask in a couple months at the Signpost article, but I've made more progress through the current report than I thought I would. Plantdrew ( talk) 03:25, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
@ Plantdrew: I loaded the data twice today after fixing a bug in the template extraction code. The TemplateData issue is a problem with the TemplateData parameter definitions, not the actual usage in articles. The parameter names and their aliases are identical. One or the other needs to have an underscore added. The examples and other documentation use the spaced version. If that is the preferred way, then the aliases need the underscore added. If they aren't fixed by next month, then I will fix them. The 'page link data generate' will go much faster if the underscored parameters aren't flagged as invalid. Issue example:
"image width": { "label": "Image Width", "description": "Width to display the image at. Should not normally be set. e.g. 320px", "type": "string", "aliases": [ "image width" ], "required": false },
-- Bamyers99 ( talk) 01:44, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, many thanks for this great tool. There appears to be a problem with the update though as it does not appear to have updated the missing links by removing those that have been fixed since previous run. Could be because they have been fixed to the alternative option of |accessdate=
rather than |access-date=
under which the missing list appears. You get no entries for the missing for |accessdate=
.

Hi Bamyers99,
I added the Arabic language to the infobox under: "Recognised national languages" of the article Eritrea. In addition, I added Arabic to the chapter "Languages" in the article. I also added some sources for this information. Then, User:Richard0048 deleted this change with the explanation "HOA not redundant to East Africa, no need to remove content".
It is fact that Arabic is a recognised national language of Eritrea. I don`t know what I should do in this matter. Could you help me or give me an advice? Thank you in advance.

Hi!
I was wondering, maybe you could do some additional dump scanning? Theoretically it would be a one-time (or two-time) scan for each template in question. For external link templates (like {{ IMDb name}}) - show articles (with template values), which have malformatted values (yes, we have tracking categories, but with dump scan results we can do effecient work), for some other templates - show articles (params and their values), which contain unknown template params. No public interface is needed - simple txt file. You probably would have to code a little bit, but I think you have the needed codebase. Will give you more specific details, if you say yes to my initial question. I simply don't have the needed resources to do dump scan myself. Yes, theoretically I could do that (or in some cases - scan live template transclusions), but... enwiki is too big and you're anyway doing scanning :) -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 14:33, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
|id=
is alias of |1=
, is they way to show that in regex field? Yes, I could duplicate the regex, but... Maybe make it something like 1|id=<regex>, "|" being a separator (which is not valid symbol for parameter name, so there shouldn't be any conflicts).|foo=
, which has alias |bar=
and some article has both params set (and both of them are nonempty), then add them to the report somehow.

Hello, I was using the Template Parameters Tool results earlier and noticed a problem, when following a link to an article that ends with a question mark, you get the "Wikipedia does not have an article with that name" error. It looks like the tool is creating the URL with ? on the end, instead of %3F which Wikipedia uses in its URLs to represent a question mark, and so it tries to use the ? as the start of a query that obviously isn't there. Its a minor thing in an otherwise brilliant tool, thanks for creating it. - X201 ( talk) 11:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bamyers, is there an implementation of your CleanupWorklistBot (or something similar) that will compile a list of cleanup tags for a specified set of articles other than a WikiProject (for example, a given category or a user-specified list)? If not, it could be a nice supplement to personal watchlists and onerous backlog templates. czar 23:30, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Might I suggest that +190 for pattern: /\Wsong-stub\}\}/ is perhaps just a tad too high? " You Can Make It If You Try" sails through WP:NSONG for me (charting single etc. - which is why I wrote the article) - but giving it +190 for being a stub, which is all it is likely ever to be??? Surely not.
Unscrupulous editors could game that +190 rating to make non-notable songs look notable - and there seems to be a pretty solid consensus (with which I agree) that the majority of songs are not notable. Narky Blert ( talk) 01:12, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

To me, it looks like editors claiming ownership because they will not allow others to fix even the smallest of grammar errors, such as removing the capital letter from words that are not proper nouns. If I shouldn't have asked this here on your talk page, I apologize, it was just that you were the previous editor before my edit was made and I thought you might be able to help.

Would it be possible to configure Template Parameters so that the currently blacklisted templates show specific pages where Value Counts below some arbitrary value? Looking through the reports for blacklisted templates, I see an enormous number of parameters that are one-off typos for a valid parameter or guesses at parameters that the template can't support. The report for {{ Nihongo}} has 9 parameters that have Value Counts of 3 or more, and hundreds at 1 or 2. If Value Counts of 1, 5, 10 or even 100 were set to display specific pages linked from black listed templates, it would open up enormous opportunites for cleaning up bad parameters.
If displaying pages for low Value Count parameters isn't easy to achieve, can I request I full report (blacklist override) for {{ Taxobox}} with the October update? I know I said I'd ask in a couple months at the Signpost article, but I've made more progress through the current report than I thought I would. Plantdrew ( talk) 03:25, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
@ Plantdrew: I loaded the data twice today after fixing a bug in the template extraction code. The TemplateData issue is a problem with the TemplateData parameter definitions, not the actual usage in articles. The parameter names and their aliases are identical. One or the other needs to have an underscore added. The examples and other documentation use the spaced version. If that is the preferred way, then the aliases need the underscore added. If they aren't fixed by next month, then I will fix them. The 'page link data generate' will go much faster if the underscored parameters aren't flagged as invalid. Issue example:
"image width": { "label": "Image Width", "description": "Width to display the image at. Should not normally be set. e.g. 320px", "type": "string", "aliases": [ "image width" ], "required": false },

Hi, many thanks for this great tool. There appears to be a problem with the update though as it does not appear to have updated the missing links by removing those that have been fixed since previous run. Could be because they have been fixed to the alternative option of |accessdate=
rather than |access-date=
under which the missing list appears. You get no entries for the missing for |accessdate=
.

Hi Bamyers99,
I added the Arabic language to the infobox under: "Recognised national languages" of the article Eritrea. In addition, I added Arabic to the chapter "Languages" in the article. I also added some sources for this information. Then, User:Richard0048 deleted this change with the explanation "HOA not redundant to East Africa, no need to remove content".
It is fact that Arabic is a recognised national language of Eritrea. I don`t know what I should do in this matter. Could you help me or give me an advice? Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,

Hi!
I was wondering, maybe you could do some additional dump scanning? Theoretically it would be a one-time (or two-time) scan for each template in question. For external link templates (like {{ IMDb name}}) - show articles (with template values), which have malformatted values (yes, we have tracking categories, but with dump scan results we can do effecient work), for some other templates - show articles (params and their values), which contain unknown template params. No public interface is needed - simple txt file. You probably would have to code a little bit, but I think you have the needed codebase. Will give you more specific details, if you say yes to my initial question. I simply don't have the needed resources to do dump scan myself. Yes, theoretically I could do that (or in some cases - scan live template transclusions), but... enwiki is too big and you're anyway doing scanning :) -- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 14:33, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
|id=
is alias of |1=
, is they way to show that in regex field? Yes, I could duplicate the regex, but... Maybe make it something like 1|id=<regex>, "|" being a separator (which is not valid symbol for parameter name, so there shouldn't be any conflicts).|foo=
, which has alias |bar=
and some article has both params set (and both of them are nonempty), then add them to the report somehow.

Hello, I was using the Template Parameters Tool results earlier and noticed a problem, when following a link to an article that ends with a question mark, you get the "Wikipedia does not have an article with that name" error. It looks like the tool is creating the URL with ? on the end, instead of %3F which Wikipedia uses in its URLs to represent a question mark, and so it tries to use the ? as the start of a query that obviously isn't there. Its a minor thing in an otherwise brilliant tool, thanks for creating it. - X201 ( talk) 11:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bamyers, is there an implementation of your CleanupWorklistBot (or something similar) that will compile a list of cleanup tags for a specified set of articles other than a WikiProject (for example, a given category or a user-specified list)? If not, it could be a nice supplement to personal watchlists and onerous backlog templates. czar 23:30, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Might I suggest that +190 for pattern: /\Wsong-stub\}\}/ is perhaps just a tad too high? " You Can Make It If You Try" sails through WP:NSONG for me (charting single etc. - which is why I wrote the article) - but giving it +190 for being a stub, which is all it is likely ever to be??? Surely not.
Unscrupulous editors could game that +190 rating to make non-notable songs look notable - and there seems to be a pretty solid consensus (with which I agree) that the majority of songs are not notable. Narky Blert ( talk) 01:12, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Thursday 27 juli you changed the title of page concerning the Dutch road N14 (now Provincial road N14 (Netherlands)). I already thanked you for that, but unfortunately I now realise that also the new title is not correct: N14 is one exceptional N-road which not belongs to the province, but to central government en therefore it is a "Rijksweg". Would you please change the name and categorization of the page one more time? Thank you a lot in advance. VanuitVoorburg ( talk) 10:52, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bamyers99, I was just doing some work at WikiProject Bahá'í Faith and noticed that the cleanup listing has been broken for a while. The project is included in the master project list, but when I used the tool to test it out, the category link was broken (it should link to Category:Bahá'í Faith articles by quality).
