I believe that the comment-related bugs have mostly been squashed, but this one happened on October 8, so it looks like it's in the current code (I think that long ago, the bot used to put a version number in its edit summary, which helped determine if the bug was current). –

This is a feature. When there are two identical parameters in a citation template, the bot renames one to DUPLICATE_xxx. It is pointing out the problem with the template. The solution is to choose one of the two parameters and remove the other one, or to convert it to an appropriate parameter. –

It may true that something is amiss in the bot with regard to brackets. As an editorial aside,
pre- and
post-nominals, honorifics, and the like, do not belong in the cs1|2 name-list parameters. Where they exist in cs1|2 templates, they should be removed.

Hello! Thanks for everyone's hard work. This isn't a functional problem, but I'd like to suggest the slightest amount of copy edits to the template for this type of page. I'm not suggesting changing the feel of the text (e.g., by putting subjects in the sentences—heh!), just a quick tidy.
Currently the text reads:
Establishing connection to Wikipedia servers with username Citation_bot...
Using account Citation bot.
Fetching parameter list ... done.Activated by Geekdiva
Please consider changing the bolded items below as discussed in the enumerated list (the bolding is just to make the problem areas stand out here and not to be added to the text template):
Establishing connection to Wikipedia servers with username Citation_bot...
Using account Citation_bot.
Fetching parameter list... Done. Activated by Geekdiva.
I hope this is the right place to ask! BTW, I'm interested in making some tiny tweaks to User:Citation_bot/use and perhaps suggest some larger ones, but I haven't been bold enough in that direction yet. Heh! Plus, I got to keep in mind that my real-life limitations might not let me find my way back to doing that, so... Reality suuuuuuuuhcks. Thanks! — Geekdiva ( talk) 01:58, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

ASINs that look like ISBNs have been identified as a problem item. The goal is reduce them.
When the value assigned to asin= parameters is a valid ISBN, asin=ISBN should be changed to isbn=ISBN. When there is an existing isbn= parameter, the asin= parameter should be removed.

Garbage data is hard to deal with. But eventually this code should be deployed. https://github.com/ms609/citation-bot/pull/366 AManWithNoPlan ( talk) 23:06, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for everyone's hard work. This isn't a functional problem, but I'd like to suggest the slightest amount of copy edits to the template for this type of page. I'm not suggesting changing the feel of the text (e.g., by putting subjects in the sentences—heh!), just a quick tidy.
Currently the text reads:
Establishing connection to Wikipedia servers with username Citation_bot...
Using account Citation bot.
Fetching parameter list ... done.Activated by Geekdiva
Please consider changing the bolded items below as discussed in the enumerated list (the bolding is just to make the problem areas stand out here and not to be added to the text template):
Establishing connection to Wikipedia servers with username Citation_bot...
Using account Citation_bot.
Fetching parameter list... Done. Activated by Geekdiva.
I hope this is the right place to ask! BTW, I'm interested in making some tiny tweaks to User:Citation_bot/use and perhaps suggest some larger ones, but I haven't been bold enough in that direction yet. Heh! Plus, I got to keep in mind that my real-life limitations might not let me find my way back to doing that, so... Reality suuuuuuuuhcks. Thanks! — Geekdiva ( talk) 01:58, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

MLA and other such unformatted formats are always going to be imperfect. Good catch.

You already fixed this in development branch.

On occasion on an edit page, I've wanted to run the bot again after discovering a previous edit error on a reference, yet - once run - Citation bot refuses to run a second time. There must be a "once-only" run limit. It would be nice to permit the bot as many runs per edit as the editor wishes. -- Zefr ( talk) 04:04, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Right, two separate edits, and two bot runs instead of all in one. -- Zefr ( talk) 02:48, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
This is now much better about using new data an continuing to run more checks. {{ fixed}} AManWithNoPlan ( talk) 23:18, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
Since this is fixed on GitHub, it’s probably time to try a new version as development version

Low priority, since it has the starting page correct.

ASINs that look like ISBNs have been identified as a problem item. The goal is reduce them.
When the value assigned to asin= parameters is a valid ISBN, asin=ISBN should be changed to isbn=ISBN. When there is an existing isbn= parameter, the asin= parameter should be removed. Associated asin-tld= parameters should be removed.A bot that could follow those instructions could run through the category periodically. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 23:59, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

a cite (probably) anything converts a pages hyphen to a pages endash, there's no need to make a grand edit for correctness in the code if the output is okay.
Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes
