After a month and the conclusion of my RfC to redesign {{ Infobox television channel}}, I have put the new version in template space to go live. I'd like to ask for a PrimeBOT run to change all these parameter names and remove the last 3 at the end. This will likely affect nearly every transclusion of this infobox.
Note that [#]
means a number, 1 to 30 (the new infobox supports only as high as 10, but in the case of satellite the old one had as many as 30 satellite fields).

Hello, Primefac,
Thank you for restoring my mistaken deletions. I tried out batch deletion for the first time after all of these years and I clearly didn't do it correctly. I've been backtracking, correcting any errors I made and found you fixed some of them. Thanks for being so quick. Liz Read! Talk! 19:47, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry but I don't understand why you deleted the page "Portugal national under-15 football team", when I just copied the intro from "Portugal national under-17 football team" and adapted its starting paragraph for the "under-15" page. Instead of deleting "under-15", I could have easily rewritten the copyrighted phrase. Shouldn't the "under-17" page be deleted too then? -- Mazewaxie ( talk • contribs) 17:10, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, I want to create a page about the Dutch architect Moshé Zwarts. When i was in the process of creating the page, it said that a page with the same title ('Moshé Zwarts') has been made before and was deleted by you. Why was it deleted and is there anything in particular that i should take into consideration when publishing the new page? I've tried to write an article with many different independent references, but I haven't uploaded it yet because it said i should contact you first (because you deleted the previous page). I'm relatively new to writing wikipedia pages... Thanks for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atelier Orlando ( talk • contribs) 14:27, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you updated the
Archives template to add the banner style by just adding a large if statement around the template and choosing between the two styles. As you described it as “smash ‘em together”. I was just wondering if instead of doing that use |large=
to get the same effect. Since I
proposed what you did there and that was suggested. I have attempted such on the
sandbox and that can be seen on the
testcases at the bottom with an overview of the changes
here. I was just wondering on your opinion, thanks.

Also pinging User:Pldx1 who accepted the draft. I think that the article at [1] is a copy of our Wikipedia article. That page is sadly not in Internet Archive, so I can't show concrete proof, but formatting (reference section at the bottom) is Wiki style. Further, that draft is from a series created by a SPA that also created Draft:Seo Joon-hwan that in turn has been replicated at the same website: [2]. And here it is clear this is a copy from us, since they copied our formatting style etc. So if they copied one article, I think it stands to reason they copied the other one too. Most likely, the (unfortunately inactive) editor who submitted those articles 'gave' them at the same time to us and this Korean project, maybe it was a project of that https://library.ltikorea.or.kr/ page (organization behind it) in the first place (where they published some articles on English Wikipedia and then mirrored them on their own pages).

I read your closing statement at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_September_21#Template:Infobox_Israel_municipality, where you wrote that there's consensus against wrappers of {{ infobox settlement}}. Well, yes – there certainly is that sort of consensus among the small group of editors who dedicate much of their wiki time to infobox consolidation and !voting in TfDs. But if you compare this group with the set of Canadian editors who have opposed the merging of the Canadian wrappers + the Australian editors who are against the merge of the Australian wrappers + the British..., etc, you'll get a group of editors, at least an order of magnitude larger, where the consensus is of a rather different kind. – Uanfala (talk) 12:15, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown parameters has 14k pages in it. I've moved out the home_town stuff, but it's still way too big. Some of this is previous hard deprecations (residence, weight, salary, etc), some common misspellings of a real param, and others just totally made up params ( [3]). I'm wondering if the general authorisation for IP on task 29, or 30, might allow you to clean up some of the clearer cases to make the cat manageable again? I can also split out the deprecated params into separate tracking cats (as I've done for home_town), and I think that would also do the trick, if there's a concern some of the information should still be retained (even though it doesn't show), I guess in case consensus changes or something.

|criminal_charge=
: it is actually recognised by the template (as an alias of |criminal_charges=
). I have added it to the TemplateData. Re residence, do we want to scrap it with bot, or just move it out into a separate tracking category? I think it may depend on if there's salvageable information in that param that should perhaps be moved into the article body (if not already there), but at the same time not sure it matters. Don't mind either way, just raising the point.

|child=
calls are "yes", which I assume means they're mistaking it for |embed=

Primefac (
talk)
17:04, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
|child=
and |embed=
are supported aliases. Both are deprecated, I presume in the sense of "you probably shouldn't be using this". In that literal sense of deprecated I think there's maybe nothing bot needs to do currently, but the question is still an interesting one. Since the param is liable to misuse with |children=
, I think it may be a neat idea to either remove the alias in favour of just |embed=
, or setup a tracking cat where the value isn't "yes", to at least catch some cases. FWIW, I think a bot could make sense of valid usages (if it's not actually nested within another template, it's not really an 'embed', hence the usage is likely the 2nd meaning you list).
ProcrastinatingReader (

19:21, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
|child=yes
, so it's easy enough to go through manually and change those. Afterwards, if child is deprecated it might as well be removed to avoid any further confusion.
Primefac (
talk)
20:01, 1 October 2020 (UTC)As far as |child=
goes, I'm not going to deal with it without a clear consensus (since it is a valid param, and is listed in the param check as such). I'll hit up the rest of these soonish.

I'm confused about why you keep deleting my edit concerning horns on female vaynol cattle? I'm new to this so not sure what is the most appropriate way to contact you to discuss further. Female Vayno cattle do naturally grow horns - they are often removed. The RBST website does not say females have horns as I think you suggested. There is a picture of a female with horns suckling it's calf on the RBST website. Could you give me what you feel is a reference stating female Vaynol cattle don't have horns? I have a long experience of cattle in North Wales and it was seeing this error about female Vaynol cattle that prompted me to register to make the edit. It is not correct to state that female Vaynol Cattle don't have horns. Carrog897 ( talk) 14:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. Could you point me to the reference that says Vaynol females do have horns as I guarantee there will be a problem with it and we can discuss that when Ivve checked the source? Have you had a chance to look at the RBST website and their Vaynol Cattle page? Clearly they do NOT suggest females don't have horns and you will be able to see the picture I have mentioned before showing a Vaynol Female with very large horns and her calf drinking milk from her udder. Clearly they have horns. I am very keen for you to actually show me the source that says Vaynol Cattle females don't have horns.

Hello. Thanks for merging the templates I submitted. I think the infobox should be called " Infobox papal document" instead of "papal proclamation", like in the French and Italian WP ("Document pontifical", "Documento papale"). Also, I advise that you add a "type" parameter, so that one can type the type of document (motu proprio, Apostolic constitution, etc.). Veverve ( talk) 15:45, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

are not documented in a separate parameter object.Basically, this means that while the TemplateData recognizes them as valid parameters, they won't show up on the parameter list. This kinda makes sense, if you think about it; you really only want one "main" parameter, with the alternates being for things like alternate spellings (color/colour) or old/deprecated uses (like removing "title" in favour of "name").

Hi, just trying to find validation for changing a citation that was made prior to a secondary source who changed mine after it was published. My intention is not to self-promote, but to update pages with relevant, new information as it comes into us, usually hours before anyone else. This other site is doing the exact same thing and they're allowed to because the publisher has a different username, yet they're still the writer of said article, which in turn is self-promoting and erasing other submissions which were up long before theirs? It doesn't make sense, nor is it fair if the information was already supplied hours before theirs!

I would like your opinion regarding WP:PROMOTION on recent edits at Amy Shark (see also the discussion of those edits at its talkpage). Two users are adding material citing a website, Wall of Sound, which is owned, edited and written by Paul "Browny" Brown.
@ Brownypaul87: has acknowledged their connection to Wall of Sound both on their user page and at Amy Shark's talkpage. They have not indicated whether they are paid contributors. I see from Brownypaul87's talkpage and your own talkpage, above, that the user attempted to create a wp article about Paul "Browny" Brown but it was declined back in 2017, by you, and the draft lapsed in the following year. I noticed that almost all of the users edits at wp are adding a reference from Wall of Sound which gives its author as brownypaul. I believe this is using wp to promote their website, the discussion at Amy Shark's talkpage verifies this.
@ 106.71.249.83: has also edited Amy Shark and returned material originally written by the first user after I had deleted it. Now that second user is adding new material, but again using Wall of Sound and identifying brownypaul as the author at that website. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 19:43, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi there. I was annoyed when I tried to do good and was blocked by bureaucracy. I didn't have time to search the archives as to why the use of the script is linked to active participants, but I just found your own questioning of it here. Other than User:Kudpung not wanting to be lulled into a false sense of security of too many reviewers, I really still don't see the point of it. I can understand removing editors who haven't edited at all for 6 months, but active editors who just haven't been in this one particular part of Wikipedia shouldn't be blocked when they do want to help. So, I'm sort of apologising for the snark, but sort of still annoyed by it. If you have scripts or other methods of seeing who is active or not, surely they could instead be used to do a count of active reviewers without blocking those busy elsewhere.

Template:Infobox GB station. It's quite the wrapper, so I wanted to grab your advice on if that's all setup right and ensure there's no problems there? You can see a sample subst at
Special:Permalink/986414949 (
diff)
Special:Permalink/987123351 (
diff) of
Manchester Piccadilly station. Main thing standing out to me currently is why some of those "| interchange = "s are being added (when the ifnotempty for that should be passing) - it's not added for the first one. (got it :/)
To actually perform the merge, on top of the subst two things need to be modified:
{{{coordinates}}}
, the {{
coords}} should add in "region:GB" if not already present. In the Manchester example it is, but eg {{
coord|52.47777|-1.89885}}
-> {{
coord|52.47777|-1.89885|region:GB}}
. If the 3rd unnamed param already has a value, it needs to prefix with an underscore (eg type:railwaystation_region:GB). At the same time, since type:railwaystation is actually kinda redundant (the target template does this automatically) perhaps that should just be stripped.Would a PrimeBOT merge be able to do these two things, or will I need to make a bot to implement this merge?

I see your CON and raise you an IAR...lol. But seriously, this seems to have come down to preferences and really, I don't see the point in starting another discussion about this content when there already was one back just after it was added the first time. How about this, we re-add the content for now, with the intention of having an article created, which afterall is the purpose of redlinks. If an article is not forthcoming in a certain time frame, then remove it. What would you feel is a reasonable amount of time? - wolf 03:39, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Could you edit the infobox so that when a title in "after" or "before" has a certain lenght, it has a breaking space (<br>
). The problem can be found
here; after "Apostolic Letter for 1700th anniversary", there should be a breaking space so that "of the Baptism of the Armenian People" appears below "Apostolic Letter for 1700th anniversary".

Hi Primefac. Would you mind taking a look at this? It appears to have been boldly created back in February and seems to be being currently used quite a lot. However, there's no real documentation for it and it's not clear how it's intended to be used. Is it, for example, for the user namespace or the talk namespace? It might also be somewhat redundant to {{ Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment}} and {{ WikiEd banner shell}}. Anyway, I saw it added to Talk:Music television and it seem out of place; so, I removed it. If it's intended for the talk namespace, then I'll self-revert. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:56, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

After a month and the conclusion of my RfC to redesign {{ Infobox television channel}}, I have put the new version in template space to go live. I'd like to ask for a PrimeBOT run to change all these parameter names and remove the last 3 at the end. This will likely affect nearly every transclusion of this infobox.
Note that [#]
means a number, 1 to 30 (the new infobox supports only as high as 10, but in the case of satellite the old one had as many as 30 satellite fields).

Hello, I noticed that you updated the

Also pinging User:Pldx1 who accepted the draft. I think that the article at [1] is a copy of our Wikipedia article. That page is sadly not in Internet Archive, so I can't show concrete proof, but formatting (reference section at the bottom) is Wiki style. Further, that draft is from a series created by a SPA that also created Draft:Seo Joon-hwan that in turn has been replicated at the same website: [2]. And here it is clear this is a copy from us, since they copied our formatting style etc. So if they copied one article, I think it stands to reason they copied the other one too. Most likely, the (unfortunately inactive) editor who submitted those articles 'gave' them at the same time to us and this Korean project, maybe it was a project of that https://library.ltikorea.or.kr/ page (organization behind it) in the first place (where they published some articles on English Wikipedia and then mirrored them on their own pages).

I read your closing statement at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_September_21#Template:Infobox_Israel_municipality, where you wrote that there's consensus against wrappers of {{ infobox settlement}}. Well, yes – there certainly is that sort of consensus among the small group of editors who dedicate much of their wiki time to infobox consolidation and !voting in TfDs. But if you compare this group with the set of Canadian editors who have opposed the merging of the Canadian wrappers + the Australian editors who are against the merge of the Australian wrappers + the British..., etc, you'll get a group of editors, at least an order of magnitude larger, where the consensus is of a rather different kind. – Uanfala (talk) 12:15, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
Category:Pages using infobox person with unknown parameters has 14k pages in it. I've moved out the home_town stuff, but it's still way too big. Some of this is previous hard deprecations (residence, weight, salary, etc), some common misspellings of a real param, and others just totally made up params ( [3]). I'm wondering if the general authorisation for IP on task 29, or 30, might allow you to clean up some of the clearer cases to make the cat manageable again? I can also split out the deprecated params into separate tracking cats (as I've done for home_town), and I think that would also do the trick, if there's a concern some of the information should still be retained (even though it doesn't show), I guess in case consensus changes or something.

|criminal_charge=
: it is actually recognised by the template (as an alias of |criminal_charges=
). I have added it to the TemplateData. Re residence, do we want to scrap it with bot, or just move it out into a separate tracking category? I think it may depend on if there's salvageable information in that param that should perhaps be moved into the article body (if not already there), but at the same time not sure it matters. Don't mind either way, just raising the point.

|child=

Primefac (

17:04, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
|child=
and |embed=
are supported aliases. Both are deprecated, I presume in the sense of "you probably shouldn't be using this". In that literal sense of deprecated I think there's maybe nothing bot needs to do currently, but the question is still an interesting one. Since the param is liable to misuse with |children=
, I think it may be a neat idea to either remove the alias in favour of just |embed=
, or setup a tracking cat where the value isn't "yes", to at least catch some cases. FWIW, I think a bot could make sense of valid usages (if it's not actually nested within another template, it's not really an 'embed', hence the usage is likely the 2nd meaning you list).
ProcrastinatingReader (

19:21, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
|child=yes
, so it's easy enough to go through manually and change those. Afterwards, if child is deprecated it might as well be removed to avoid any further confusion.
Primefac (

20:01, 1 October 2020 (UTC)As far as |child=
goes, I'm not going to deal with it without a clear consensus (since it is a valid param, and is listed in the param check as such). I'll hit up the rest of these soonish.

I'm confused about why you keep deleting my edit concerning horns on female vaynol cattle? I'm new to this so not sure what is the most appropriate way to contact you to discuss further. Female Vayno cattle do naturally grow horns - they are often removed. The RBST website does not say females have horns as I think you suggested. There is a picture of a female with horns suckling it's calf on the RBST website. Could you give me what you feel is a reference stating female Vaynol cattle don't have horns? I have a long experience of cattle in North Wales and it was seeing this error about female Vaynol cattle that prompted me to register to make the edit. It is not correct to state that female Vaynol Cattle don't have horns. Carrog897 ( talk) 14:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. Could you point me to the reference that says Vaynol females do have horns as I guarantee there will be a problem with it and we can discuss that when Ivve checked the source? Have you had a chance to look at the RBST website and their Vaynol Cattle page? Clearly they do NOT suggest females don't have horns and you will be able to see the picture I have mentioned before showing a Vaynol Female with very large horns and her calf drinking milk from her udder. Clearly they have horns. I am very keen for you to actually show me the source that says Vaynol Cattle females don't have horns.

Hello. Thanks for merging the templates I submitted. I think the infobox should be called " Infobox papal document" instead of "papal proclamation", like in the French and Italian WP ("Document pontifical", "Documento papale").

are not documented in a separate parameter object.Basically, this means that while the TemplateData recognizes them as valid parameters, they won't show up on the parameter list. This kinda makes sense, if you think about it; you really only want one "main" parameter, with the alternates being for things like alternate spellings (color/colour) or old/deprecated uses (like removing "title" in favour of "name").

Hi, just trying to find validation for changing a citation that was made prior to a secondary source who changed mine after it was published. My intention is not to self-promote, but to update pages with relevant, new information as it comes into us, usually hours before anyone else. This other site is doing the exact same thing and they're allowed to because the publisher has a different username, yet they're still the writer of said article, which in turn is self-promoting and erasing other submissions which were up long before theirs? It doesn't make sense, nor is it fair if the information was already supplied hours before theirs!

I would like your opinion regarding WP:PROMOTION on recent edits at Amy Shark (see also the discussion of those edits at its talkpage). Two users are adding material citing a website, Wall of Sound, which is owned, edited and written by Paul "Browny" Brown.
@ Brownypaul87: has acknowledged their connection to Wall of Sound both on their user page and at Amy Shark's talkpage. They have not indicated whether they are paid contributors. I see from Brownypaul87's talkpage and your own talkpage, above, that the user attempted to create a wp article about Paul "Browny" Brown but it was declined back in 2017, by you, and the draft lapsed in the following year. I noticed that almost all of the users edits at wp are adding a reference from Wall of Sound which gives its author as brownypaul. I believe this is using wp to promote their website, the discussion at Amy Shark's talkpage verifies this.
@ 106.71.249.83: has also edited Amy Shark and returned material originally written by the first user after I had deleted it. Now that second user is adding new material, but again using Wall of Sound and identifying brownypaul as the author at that website. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 19:43, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi there. I was annoyed when I tried to do good and was blocked by bureaucracy. I didn't have time to search the archives as to why the use of the script is linked to active participants, but I just found your own questioning of it here. Other than User:Kudpung not wanting to be lulled into a false sense of security of too many reviewers, I really still don't see the point of it. I can understand removing editors who haven't edited at all for 6 months, but active editors who just haven't been in this one particular part of Wikipedia shouldn't be blocked when they do want to help. So, I'm sort of apologising for the snark, but sort of still annoyed by it. If you have scripts or other methods of seeing who is active or not, surely they could instead be used to do a count of active reviewers without blocking those busy elsewhere. Thanks for reinstating me. I'm now blocked by a salted name for moving the draft article. Nothing is ever easy. Regards, The-Pope ( talk) 13:14, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
The talk page of User talk:69.126.57.216 is full of user warnings. Look at the kind of edits he's been doing at The Voice (American season 16), which he reverts back to when attempting to fix. -- Gonnym ( talk) 22:32, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey, I came across Category:Pages using ISBN magic links and saw that PrimeBot is mentioned as working on clearing that category. Is that task still working? -- Gonnym ( talk) 13:53, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey Primefac, hope you're well, been a while. I can see you added enrolment_ref, students_ref and pupils_ref. Are these needed? I'm going to propose at some point in removing the as_of parameters as they just add the year in brackets when it is easer to add it manually next to the enrolment data, rather than use a separate parameter to do this which is a bit redundant. Also because some articles use as_of and some don't. Please let me know, thank you :) Steven (Editor) ( talk) 19:02, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
|language=Spanish
in a location where English is the primary language, it would tell me right away that this was a school designed to teach in Spanish.

Thanks for doing this, a fair amount of duplicate parameters appeared in the category, all been sorted. There is another parameter discussed on the talk for merging — that's the school_roll/roll parameters to be merged with the enrolment/enrollment/students/pupils variation parameters. Please could you make this as an alias and I can sort out any duplicates in the category? Please let me know, thank you Steven (Editor) ( talk) 02:00, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey. So re
TfD I've created
User:ProcrastinatingReader/sandbox3 (a substable wrapper) for the template
Template:Infobox GB station. It's quite the wrapper, so I wanted to grab your advice on if that's all setup right and ensure there's no problems there? You can see a sample subst at
Special:Permalink/986414949 (
diff)
Special:Permalink/987123351 (
diff) of
Manchester Piccadilly station. Main thing standing out to me currently is why some of those "| interchange = "s are being added (when the ifnotempty for that should be passing) - it's not added for the first one. (got it :/)
To actually perform the merge, on top of the subst two things need to be modified:
{{{coordinates}}}
, the {{
coords}} should add in "region:GB" if not already present. In the Manchester example it is, but eg {{
coord|52.47777|-1.89885}}
-> {{
coord|52.47777|-1.89885|region:GB}}
. If the 3rd unnamed param already has a value, it needs to prefix with an underscore (eg type:railwaystation_region:GB). At the same time, since type:railwaystation is actually kinda redundant (the target template does this automatically) perhaps that should just be stripped.Would a PrimeBOT merge be able to do these two things, or will I need to make a bot to implement this merge?

from the substHi, just wondering why you keep removing this content...? Thanks - wolf 16:33, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
I see your CON and raise you an IAR...lol. But seriously, this seems to have come down to preferences and really, I don't see the point in starting another discussion about this content when there already was one back just after it was added the first time. How about this, we re-add the content for now, with the intention of having an article created, which afterall is the purpose of redlinks. If an article is not forthcoming in a certain time frame, then remove it. What would you feel is a reasonable amount of time? - wolf 03:39, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
Primefac Please have a look at
Draft:List of WikiProject India/Research institutions that is submitted for review. It says This list is automatically generated from data in Wikidata and is periodically updated by Listeriabot

With regard to my current DYK restrictions, I would like to ask a question about it. Would be able to nominate a Christmas album to run on DYK at Christmas? The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 10:44, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Could you edit the infobox so that when a title in "after" or "before" has a certain lenght, it has a breaking space (<br>
). The problem can be found
here; after "Apostolic Letter for 1700th anniversary", there should be a breaking space so that "of the Baptism of the Armenian People" appears below "Apostolic Letter for 1700th anniversary".

I am a Chinese Wiki user. Hope modify the template to this version. The reason is here (The original link has expired.) , It should be correct after sandbox testing, thank you.-- Z7504 ( talk) 09:42, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Primefac. Would you mind taking a look at this? It appears to have been boldly created back in February and seems to be being currently used quite a lot. However, there's no real documentation for it and it's not clear how it's intended to be used. Is it, for example, for the user namespace or the talk namespace? It might also be somewhat redundant to {{ Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment}} and {{ WikiEd banner shell}}. Anyway, I saw it added to Talk:Music television and it seem out of place; so, I removed it. If it's intended for the talk namespace, then I'll self-revert. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:56, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
this edit and es is unacceptible and a PA. Also, you are supposed to seek agreement not enforce your own immature edits.
