I came across your
request for bot approval regarding self links and had a look at
your code. I have a few comments. The most critical one is that your code to escape special characters doesn't include backslash, which is a valid title character. You might consider copying the escapeRegExp()
function from the
MDN Web Docs page on regular expressions, which also is a more compact implementation.
Note that using regular expressions to extract a character at a known position (the first character) is a bit of overkill. You can use, for example:
/* title is unescaped at this point */
firstChar = title.charAt(0);
lcFirstChar = firstChar.toLowerCase();
In your subsequent regexps when you are matching the title, it would be a little more efficient to just do alternation over the first letter, which you can do with a character class. However, in this case, escaping of special characters should be done only after extracting the first character.
/* title is still unescaped at this point */
restOfTitleRegexpString = escapeRegExp(title.slice(1));
titleRegexpString = '[' + escapeRegExp(firstChar) + escapeRegExp(lcFirstChar) + ']' + restOfTitleRegexpString;
On a functionality note, the regular expressions you used to find links to sections won't match for piped links. I don't have an easy solution, though, as it's quite hard (a polite way of saying "it's impossible to handle all cases") to parse delimited text with traditional regular expressions, particularly with multi-character delimiters. I was thinking of something like the regexp in the second replace statement, but it has a couple of problems. In cases that don't match, I fear there might be instances where the non-greedy quantifier causes a lot of overhead parsing the text in an attempt to match. In cases where the closing ]] is missing, the regexp will match up to the ]] in the next wiki link in the text (if there is one), swallowing up everything in between. Based on a quick test, this behaviour is a change from how the wikitext parser handles this case, as it appears to recognize the second link and thus knows not to treat the unclosed link as a link. This issue is something to look out for with the current code.
I hope this may be useful to you. isaacl ( talk) 22:16, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on 2021 Erste Bank Open requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Just received a message from you that you have removed all of the information I have added today.
I am extremely disappointed, I have worked really hard to learn your rules and only include facts and the references to this that you requested.
Yes I have gone in several times today to try and get the wording as acceptable as possible.
I do not understand what you would like me to do or how I can actually change the facts and real references to them? Alfred Collins Archive ( talk) 15:04, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Sorry if my comments were a little short, I was so upset.
Can we just explain that Alf Collins is our great grandfather and we have researched him for many many years.
We were passed down family documents
Everything we have added we were facts and we were careful to find a reference for you.
Could you please explain what part of the wording you though was not neutral?
We tried to include all information that could be backed up with a online reference?

A tag has been placed on 2021 Erste Bank Open requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Just received a message from you that you have removed all of the information I have added today.
I am extremely disappointed, I have worked really hard to learn your rules and only include facts and the references to this that you requested.
Yes I have gone in several times today to try and get the wording as acceptable as possible.
I do not understand what you would like me to do or how I can actually change the facts and real references to them? Alfred Collins Archive ( talk) 15:04, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Sorry if my comments were a little short, I was so upset.
Can we just explain that Alf Collins is our great grandfather and we have researched him for many many years.
We were passed down family documents
Everything we have added we were facts and we were careful to find a reference for you.
Could you please explain what part of the wording you though was not neutral?
We tried to include all information that could be backed up with a online reference?

Your bot removed a self-referential link here. This link was harmless, and was causing the text to render correctly (i.e. in bold) in the lead. If you're going to remove self-referential links (especially from lead paragraphs), please make sure to retain the bold formatting implied by the link. pburka ( talk) 14:04, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I see you've installed a modified version of DisamAssist.

Hello again. I do not think it is a good idea to do those semi-automatically. In my experience working on those, various article subjects have some unique differences about them that require some notice to detail. Most are uniform for the most part, but I do run into some that require kind of a unique or close to unique short description. I welcome any advice on your side though.

Many of these edits were helpful. An SBN, however, is not the same thing as an ISBN (history discussed here), leading to the errors seen here. Also, although the bot's edit description noted that "Ordinal numbers should be in regular text, not inside <sup> tags", the <sup> tags that were used were to maintain the formatting of the source. -- Usernameunique ( talk) 23:28, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
