I may be missing something here. Where is the discussion/decision to add DUPLICATE_ in duplicated parameters? I am sure there is one but I can't find it. In my head this change makes things more difficult to fix since we have tools to remove duplicated parameters but not to compare foo and DUPLICATE_foo. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 19:25, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

I have fixed this. This really isn't a bug in the bot, but a bug in the citation templates that accepts way too many aliases.

There are no references or sources for these three citations: 4.8 Sound designer 4.9 Sound editor 4.10 Promos designer When Split Wide Open is examined there is no credit for this person. The other two are also not verifiable. Please delete sections as they are poorly sourced or unsourced material. If such references do exist, then those who want that material included (like Shirish Kunder himself) will provide the necessary and required citations. 2602:30A:C7D7:E590:B8EE:9644:8C6F:FF93 ( talk) 14:44, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
I can't seem to get the bot to co-operate. I am either doing it wrong, or expecting too much. What I was hoping was the expansion of a cite book containing just an isbn. I've tried a few variations here: User:Mcewan/sandbox. I can't persuade the bot to do anything, either from the labs page, or the 'Citations' button. Any pointers appreciated.

Ok great. I did a regex database search and found 12 articles that had malformed wikicomments and they are fixed: example. They were not all caused by Citation bot. -- Green C 16:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
I don't think this is a Citation Bot bug. Remember that one reason references exist is to help readers verify information about a statement. Adding page numbers to full references helps readers locate those sources more easily. –

The solutions is to change the code in objects.php from:
if ($this->has('accessdate') && $this->lacks('url')) $this->forget('accessdate');
To:
if ($this->has('accessdate') && $this->lacks('url') && $this->lacks('chapter-url') && $this->lacks('chapterurl') $this->lacks('contribution-url') && $this->lacks('contributionurl')) $this->forget('accessdate');

The BibCode people now are importing all the ARXIV stuff in bulk. We need to add code to not add journals of "eprint arXiv:1109.2377" type. The BibCode people are using the "Publication" field for that now, which in the past was always the journal name.

Not a bug. The date is grabbed from Google and not massaged at all. The date is not invalid, just a date that a template complains about. The page is better after the bot as this date, because the reference now has a date (and a template warning too).
