Could your ISO 4 abbreviation thing website handle a few thousand queries (~3500 ish) in the span of a few minutes to a few hours ( User:JLaTondre would know the exact timing) a few times per month? Some details are in User talk:JL-Bot/Archive 4#Break, but the main idea would be that JL-Bot would take entries from WP:CRAPWATCH, shove them into your API, and use them to search for additional crap citations.

Hi Tokenzero. You may have seen it already, but User:Headbomb pinged you at his talk page: User talk:Headbomb#Huh?
Long story short, the redirects to the page List of Hindawi academic journals could have anchor links. I could add them manually, but it would be a long, tedious task with a rather trivial result. Maybe your bot could do it in a few minutes? Cheers, Manifestation ( talk) 14:21, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Those are problematic. Just because they are also NLM does not mean they cease to be ISO 4 Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 07:53, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
I'm starting to create
Category:Redirects from DOI prefixes. It's pretty tedious to do by hand, but it would be pretty easy to do by bot. The idea would be to parse {{
JCW-selected}} found in
User:JL-Bot/Questionable.cfg and
User:JL-Bot/Publishers.cfg to match |doi/doi1=
with |1=
. If the corresponding publisher article exists, then create the redirect
{{{doi}}}
→ {{{1}}}
with
#REDIRECT[[{{{1}}}]] {{rcat shell| {{R from DOI prefix}} }}
For example, see 10.1016.
If the corresponding publisher article is a redirect, then create the doi redirect with
{{rcat shell| #REDIRECT[[target of {{{1}}}]] {{R from DOI prefix|imprint={{{1}}}}} }}
For example, 10.3892.
You can ignore |doi2=
/|doi3=
, I'll create those by hands.
This would require a new BRFA. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 04:21, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
In general, we can query Crossref prefixes on the REST API ( etiquette) as
For example, https://api.crossref.org/prefixes/10.1016 returns
status "ok" message-type "prefix" message-version "1.0.0" message member "http://id.crossref.org/member/78" name "Elsevier BV" prefix "http://id.crossref.org/prefix/10.1016"
The name of the registrant (i.e. the publisher/imprint) can be found in name
This will only work with Crossref-assigned prefixes. Other DOI-assigning agencies have other APIs, which I'll be investigating down the road, but Crossref is the big one here.
The request would be to the bot to crawl the following DOI prefixes
Then
name
from the queryDOI Prefix | Registrant (Crossref) |
|registrant= {{ R from DOI prefix}} |
Target |
---|---|---|---|
10.1001 | American Medical Association (AMA) | American Medical Association | American Medical Association |
10.1002 | Wiley | – | Wiley (publisher) |
10.1003 | – | – | – |
10.1004 | – | – | – |
10.1005 | – | – | – |
10.1006 | Elsevier BV | Elsevier | Elsevier |
... | ... | ... | ... |
10.39999 | ... | ... | ... |
Grouping 1000 doi prefixes per subpage would likely be a good way to organize, e.g.
Since this would be a userspace bot, there wouldn't be any need to get approval for this. There would be a follow up request to create the appropriate redirects down the road, but basically this would be after human review and massaging of the data to ready for bot use.

I created the main redirects for a bunch of Nature journals, but if the bot could add the section redirects to them, that would be great (some of them already have section anchors). And also, if your bot could create the ISO redirects for them, that would be great.
Those obviously not predatory. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 15:57, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Square root of a matrix, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Positive semidefinite. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Chemical and pharmaceutical bulletin is a redirect to Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin.
TokenzeroBot created it with {{ R from modification}}, even though that template says it should not be used when a more specific Rcat is available, in this case {{ R from other capitalisation}}. (I realize that the task purports to be about ampersands and the creation of this particular redirect happened over a year ago.)
When I fixed this, I also added {{ redirect category shell}} and explicitly marked it as unprintworthy, but I'm willing to let those slide as far as the bot is concerned. -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 06:30, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

BRFA activity by month Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever. Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020. Overall January 2020 Yeah, you're not gonna be able to get away with this anymore.

#REDIRECT[[{{{1}}}]] {{rcat shell| {{R from DOI prefix}} }}
For example, see 10.1016.
If the corresponding publisher article is a redirect, then create the doi redirect with
{{rcat shell| #REDIRECT[[target of {{{1}}}]] {{R from DOI prefix|imprint={{{1}}}}} }}
For example, 10.3892.
You can ignore |doi2=
/|doi3=
, I'll create those by hands.
This would require a new BRFA. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 04:21, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
In general, we can query Crossref prefixes on the REST API ( etiquette) as
For example, https://api.crossref.org/prefixes/10.1016 returns
status "ok" message-type "prefix" message-version "1.0.0" message member "http://id.crossref.org/member/78" name "Elsevier BV" prefix "http://id.crossref.org/prefix/10.1016"
The name of the registrant (i.e. the publisher/imprint) can be found in name
This will only work with Crossref-assigned prefixes. Other DOI-assigning agencies have other APIs, which I'll be investigating down the road, but Crossref is the big one here.
The request would be to the bot to crawl the following DOI prefixes
Then
name
from the queryDOI Prefix | Registrant (Crossref) |
|registrant= {{ R from DOI prefix}} |
Target |
---|---|---|---|
10.1001 | American Medical Association (AMA) | American Medical Association | American Medical Association |
10.1002 | Wiley | – | Wiley (publisher) |
10.1003 | – | – | – |
10.1004 | – | – | – |
10.1005 | – | – | – |
10.1006 | Elsevier BV | Elsevier | Elsevier |
... | ... | ... | ... |
10.39999 | ... | ... | ... |
Grouping 1000 doi prefixes per subpage would likely be a good way to organize, e.g.
Since this would be a userspace bot, there wouldn't be any need to get approval for this. There would be a follow up request to create the appropriate redirects down the road, but basically this would be after human review and massaging of the data to ready for bot use.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect J. Interdiscip. Med. Dent. Sci. and others. Since you had some involvement with the J. Interdiscip. Med. Dent. Sci. redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 15:26, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
I thought the bot created ampersand redirects for journal/magazine articles like this
Is this no longer the case? Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 18:21, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

I created the main redirects for a bunch of Nature journals, but if the bot could add the section redirects to them, that would be great (some of them already have section anchors). And also, if your bot could create the ISO redirects for them, that would be great.
Those obviously not predatory. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 15:57, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Square root of a matrix, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Positive semidefinite. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 06:13, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Chemical and pharmaceutical bulletin is a redirect to Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin.
TokenzeroBot created it with {{ R from modification}}, even though that template says it should not be used when a more specific Rcat is available, in this case {{ R from other capitalisation}}. (I realize that the task purports to be about ampersands and the creation of this particular redirect happened over a year ago.)
When I fixed this, I also added {{ redirect category shell}} and explicitly marked it as unprintworthy, but I'm willing to let those slide as far as the bot is concerned. -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 06:30, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
That hasn't run in a while. Possible other reports too. Would be useful to have an update. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 07:12, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Auguri Tokenzero,
quest'anno ho deciso di ringraziare coloro che pensano di poter dare il loro contributo alla scienza, soprattutto quando lo fanno per passione...
Complimenti e Buon lavoro,

BRFA activity by month Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots. Overall

BRFA activity by month Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever. Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020. Overall January 2020 Yeah, you're not gonna be able to get away with this anymore.

). Similarly: animal- should be anim., atmospher- should be atmos., contribu- should be contrib., and also royal- should be r. (just like real sociedad is r. soc.). As far as I remember, this is mostly fixed for abbrevs of article/infobox titles, but not for redirects like
Biochim. Biophys. Acta Specialized Sect. Enzymol. Subj. where the full title never appears in an infobox nor article title.
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect
