Just wanted to drop a note that in this edit the author was captured as "February 16, 2020, 6:50 PM·1 min read" instead of what it should be: "Jay Busbee". Thanks! -- Beland ( talk) 23:32, 14 March 2021 (UTC) reply

"Reflinks is a tool that automatically or semi-automatically adds information to references using data present in the web page." Many new editors will not understand this statement. Possibly "Reflinks is a tool for upgrading URLs that are cited in an article. It automatically or semi-automatically adds information to references." -- Smokefoot ( talk) 21:23, 23 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Your proposal for new wording leaves out the useful information that reflinks gets information from the target web page; I'd prefer to see that maintained if the wording is changed. (Personally, I'm happy with the current wording.) Cjs ( talk) 04:12, 15 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Facing the same. Awaiting resolution soon. Ainty Painty ( talk) 16:32, 20 September 2023 (UTC) reply

@ This is Paul, @ Tpbradbury, @ Ainty Painty - Please note that Dispenser hasn't posted on Wikipedia since 2020. GoingBatty ( talk) 19:12, 20 September 2023 (UTC) reply

@ GoingBatty - Thank you for the update regarding Dispenser's absence. The tool in question has indeed been incredibly valuable, and it's unfortunate that it's currently experiencing issues. It's crucial to ensure its functionality is restored promptly for continued productivity. Could someone please ping someone you know who might be able to resolve this issue? Ainty Painty ( talk) 07:37, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply

@ Ainty Painty: You could try using WP:reFill instead. But just like you would do with Reflinks, you must check the results carefully and fix any errors the software suggests before publishing your edit. Happy editing! GoingBatty ( talk) 13:52, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply
