I seem to be getting warnings for placing links to disambiguation pages from disambiguation pages. Linking between closely related disambiguation pages, however, is widespread and sensible practice. We just want to avoid links from article text to disambiguation pages. -- dab (𒁳) 08:57, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the information! I am very surprised that I did that -- since I was only copy editing this article and no nothing about the subject itself, and among other things was removing only nonexisting links (in response to the discussion). In the articles I translate from the German Wiki I do try to check all the links to make sure they go somewhere useful. However, all that being said, now that I have seen the link to this disambiguation page I think it is one of the exceptions that proves the rule. In the particular context of the "Ius" article this information is very useful! With best regards, -- Remotelysensed ( talk) 09:28, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I do not understand what are you talking about?! I have added Wagner Gambit of the Swiss Gambit in the same way as for example Zilbermints Gambit of the Englund Gambit. By the way, the following were the main lines of the Swiss Gambit (1.f4 f5 2.e4) given by F.A. Lange (1859): 2. ... fxe4 3. Qh5+, 2. ... fxe4 3. f5, 2. ... fxe4 3. Bc4, 2. ... fxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d3.

There is a bug in this bot program. It says I "added a link to the disambiguation page Robin Roberts", but I did not. My edit had added a piped link to Robin Roberts (baseball), as you can see at . The bot entry is at User talk:Eagle4000 #Disambiguation link notification: "Hi. In List of Philadelphia Phillies award winners and league leaders, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Robin Roberts ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject. It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 10:44, 18 December 2011 (UTC)"
I hope you will be able to fix the bug, so it does not waste the time of editors, i.e., in checking the alleged dablink and (for some editors) composing and sending a "bug" report. This bot is a great idea, but not with its bug. Thank you. Eagle4000 ( talk) 15:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for catching the disambiguation link in the Dominance (Genetics) article. I solved it by removing the referenced term.

The two issues made me think that would be nice to have a way to try out DAB solver in a sandbox. That would make it easier to try out what went wrong and to demonstrate the dab links without affecting the article space. — Sebastian 19:11, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
When I try to save, I get a message like "loss of session data". I even closed Mozilla (8.0) altogether, but that didn't help. I did the change manually, but that means I can't tell you now more exactly what happened. On the top right, the page displays "Sign In". So, is it necessary to sign in specifically for the DAB solver session? — Sebastian 19:11, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
As a first-time user, I was confused at first when I got the bot message for an intended link. The problem is the word "fix", which doesn't do DAB solver's rich functionality justice. It hides the fact that this link can not just be used to fix a link, but also to just look at, or do other things. I can't think of a perfect wording, but maybe something along the lines of "look into it" might help.
So, what to do with such links? Here's an interesting case:
Actually, as " fix with Dab solver" displays correctly, there are even two ambiguous links. Both are intended. Let's look at the first one first:
Well done - this is jolly good - I liked both the useful reminder and the associated, clever, edit functionality. All very nice, and useful. Here, have a strawberry yoghurt! Cheers DBaK ( talk) 11:14, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello DPL bot.
I added the link next to the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway because I wanted to add the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway. However, there are no actual sources to back it up. I also used google translate to see the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway, however when I found the Chinese translated article of NYC's Chinatowns [ [1]], which shows the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway all the way at the bottom, it does not match what I found via google translate. I tried to set this Chinese translation for Bay Parkway to link it as 有海湾公园道, which did not go through as you will see it. That is why I set up this link "[ [2]]" next to it to show some evidence of the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway. However, realizing there is no reliable source at this time to back up or clarify completely of the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway, I took it off.
I apologize for creating the disambiguation page and next time I will know not to use disambiguation pages that can confuse readers.
Please feel free to let me know of any editing concerns.

Hello DPL bot
I just realized what you meant. I apologize for misinterpreting what you wrote to me. I meant to link Bay Parkway to the actual Brooklyn's Bay Parkway wikipedia article. I did not realize there was a Disambiguation page for Bay Parkway until just now. However, regarding about the Chinese translations for Bay Parkway, I am still keeping it off because of no or unclear sources.
I really apologize for the misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Please always feel free and welcomed to let me know about any editing concerns.

Just received another Disambiguation link notification - these are very handy! In this case, AWB fixed a link by adding a missing bracket while I was doing something else. When I saw the "check to confirm" link, I thought this would take me to the article history so I could confirm that I (unintentionally) added a link. Based on the other feedback you've been receiving, this may be a useful addition to the automated messages. Keep up the good work! GoingBatty ( talk) 15:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
For the record, the disambiguation link to St. Joseph's Hospital that I added to SEPTA Route 15 was meant to be temporary.

Hi, You wrote on my talk page but what did you mean is not being understanded by me. -- Jagadhatri ২০১২ 11:19, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
I have noticed the number of notifications on User talk:Farrtj. Having looked at the rationale for the bot on Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DPL bot 2, I wonder if a single notification with an offer of opting in might be more appropriate - if the user likes the bot they will want to use it; if they don't like it they need do no more. Also, perhaps the text could point out a useful tool, such as User:Anomie/linkclassifier, which identifies on each page where links go to. I use that and find it very helpful.
In addition, I was recently notified of a link I didn't place - I had done a history merge in which I restored an earlier version, so the bot was picking up on a revert edit. This implies that patrollers who revert vandalism and restore a page which contains dablinks will be getting messages. SilkTork ✔Tea time 13:50, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Possible wording:
Or:
Or (Dispenser):

I've created ~2000 stubs in the last few months, largely using a script. I had been planning on using the bot to disambiguate links after the fact, but I have a feeling that the two batches I've had so far are far from all the links that need to be rescued. Is there a backlog or an internal limit that's keep the bot from reporting them to me? Is there a good alternative I can use?

I seem to be getting warnings for placing links to disambiguation pages from disambiguation pages. Linking between closely related disambiguation pages, however, is widespread and sensible practice. We just want to avoid links from article text to disambiguation pages. -- dab (𒁳) 08:57, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the information! I am very surprised that I did that -- since I was only copy editing this article and no nothing about the subject itself, and among other things was removing only nonexisting links (in response to the discussion). In the articles I translate from the German Wiki I do try to check all the links to make sure they go somewhere useful. However, all that being said, now that I have seen the link to this disambiguation page I think it is one of the exceptions that proves the rule. In the particular context of the "Ius" article this information is very useful! With best regards, -- Remotelysensed ( talk) 09:28, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

In List of Philadelphia Phillies award winners and league leaders, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Robin Roberts ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

As a first-time user, I was confused at first when I got the bot message for an intended link. The problem is the word "fix", which doesn't do DAB solver's rich functionality justice. It hides the fact that this link can not just be used to fix a link, but also to just look at, or do other things. I can't think of a perfect wording, but maybe something along the lines of "look into it" might help.
So, what to do with such links? Here's an interesting case:
Actually, as " fix with Dab solver" displays correctly, there are even two ambiguous links. Both are intended. Let's look at the first one first:

Hello DPL bot.
I added the link next to the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway because I wanted to add the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway. However, there are no actual sources to back it up. I also used google translate to see the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway, however when I found the Chinese translated article of NYC's Chinatowns [ [1]], which shows the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway all the way at the bottom, it does not match what I found via google translate. I tried to set this Chinese translation for Bay Parkway to link it as 有海湾公园道, which did not go through as you will see it. That is why I set up this link "[ [2]]" next to it to show some evidence of the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway. However, realizing there is no reliable source at this time to back up or clarify completely of the Chinese translation for Bay Parkway, I took it off.
I apologize for creating the disambiguation page and next time I will know not to use disambiguation pages that can confuse readers.
Please feel free to let me know of any editing concerns.

I just realized what you meant. I apologize for misinterpreting what you wrote to me. I meant to link Bay Parkway to the actual Brooklyn's Bay Parkway wikipedia article. I did not realize there was a Disambiguation page for Bay Parkway until just now.

I really apologize for the misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Please always feel free and welcomed to let me know about any editing concerns.

I have noticed the number of notifications on User talk:Farrtj. Having looked at the rationale for the bot on Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DPL bot 2, I wonder if a single notification with an offer of opting in might be more appropriate - if the user likes the bot they will want to use it; if they don't like it they need do no more. Also, perhaps the text could point out a useful tool, such as User:Anomie/linkclassifier, which identifies on each page where links go to. I use that and find it very helpful.
In addition, I was recently notified of a link I didn't place - I had done a history merge in which I restored an earlier version, so the bot was picking up on a revert edit. This implies that patrollers who revert vandalism and restore a page which contains dablinks will be getting messages. SilkTork ✔Tea time 13:50, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

:What a great and well-implemented idea for a bot - introduced me to a great tool I wasn't aware of! (and this is my first time using the wikilove tool!) Thanks, JaGa! Elvey ( talk) 18:17, 9 February 2012 (UTC) |
thanks, DPL, i didn't think to check it. mikewax — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikewax ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi DPL bot. Thanks for pointing that out - I haven't finished editing that page and will correct things later. Thank you! Benkenobi18 ( talk) 10:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Now is yet disambiguated.-- Climent Sostres ( talk) 19:23, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Walked into the oversight by accident. Noticed that Gregory Campbell's name had been misspelled and corrected it while forgetting to check if the internal link was proper. The mistake has just been fixed. The Ink Daddy! ( talk) 21:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Thankyou for alerting me about the disambiguation regarding page links made in the article NH-1. I have made appropriate changes in the article. therash09 ( talk), 18:27 IST, February 14, 2012
Hi there. Thanks for alerting me about the minor mistake I made regarding the editing I made in regards to Renel Brooks-Moon. I only wanted to point out that she was the San Franciso Giants' P.A. Announcer when they won the World Series 2 years ago, but your assistance is much appreciated just the same. Hope to hear from you soon. Mr. Brain ( talk) 00:27, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the head's up. This is a great idea for a bot. Eomund ( talk) 03:26, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out the link to disambiguation page Platform. I changed the link at the List of Wii games that use the Classic Controller to reflect Platform game.
I fixed the link to the right page. Thanks for the notice.( America789 ( talk) 20:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC))
Hi there. Thanks for pointing out the Dsb link errors. I've fixed them. Thanks.

Enough said… Maury Markowitz ( talk) 16:14, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Indeed, it does. If only it had been around for my first thousand articles....I am sure I have left many and many an ambiguity out there in the WP zone.

I've created ~2000 stubs in the last few months, largely using a script. I had been planning on using the bot to disambiguate links after the fact, but I have a feeling that the two batches I've had so far are far from all the links that need to be rescued. Is there a backlog or an internal limit that's keep the bot from reporting them to me? Is there a good alternative I can use?
