I'm requesting someone with AWB experience to run the editor on the entirety of Category:WikiProject Weather articles. There are countless (thousands?) of references that use {{cite report}} with the |agency= parameter, which breaks the citation. |agency= needs to changed to |author=. wxtrackercody ( talk · contributions) 03:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I endorse the request here, though I would clarify the scope of what's requested. Specifically, there is widespread use of {{
cite report}} misusing the |agency= parameter specifically for references linking to the
Storm Events Database hosted by the
National Centers for Environmental Information. In some cases, NCEI is erroneously listed as the agency. In other cases, a weather forecast office of the
National Weather Service is erroneously listed as the agency. In either case, the agency parameter should be removed for all {{
cite report}} in the aforementioned project category that point to
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/ and its subpages (as linked previously). If the |agency= was listed as a forecast office (something of the form National Weather Service Office in Memphis, Tennessee
, though National Weather Service*
may be a reasonable catch-all), then it should be listed as the |author=. If necessary, |publisher=National Centers for Environmental Information should be amended/appended to the citation template.

{{cite report|agency=
in these pages and replace them with {{cite report|author=
. There may be more pages that use the cite report template with agency parameter. We can find and fix them once these 325 pages are fixed.Thank you. –

, so there would be no author listed. Normally on Wikipedia we only list the author to help readers find and verify a citation. Since the citation is to Storm Data, that is all that is needed ie. |work=
Storm Data
. Everything else is extraneous and not what the citation system was mean to do. It looks like trying to re-create sub-elements of the Storm Data database within the CS1|2 system. Another way to say this, it is citing two sources in a single citation: the Storm Data citation, and also citing the WFO and/or whatever other sources used by Storm Data. It's a sign of a problem. --

but that could be a website software code that could change. In these cases the URL itself is the key. But that is fragile, because they will in the future abandon this system and make a new one that may not have a 1:1 conversion eg. no redirects. So assuming the current Storm Data site is defunded or changed, they make a new system without redirects - a common scenario for government sites. How would you track down the report at the new site. Going by title only "Kentucky Even Report: EF1 Tornado" is not enough. The citation would probably need to contain the event date at least, to remain verifiable for the long term.Please add the correct header to all pages in Category:WikiProject assessment categories needing attention that have properly formed names and whose only content is a manual inclusion to that category. Compare Category:FA-Class Andhra Pradesh articles, Category:Mid-importance Andhra Pradesh articles, and Category:FA-Class Andhra Pradesh articles of Mid-importance. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 23:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

20:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Recently I have noticed that many articles about places mistakenly use "a oceanic climate" instead of "an oceanic climate" when referring to an areas Köppen climate classification within their climate sections. I think this happens most frequently with french places, but that could just be since they are more like to have an oceanic climate. some examples of pages with this issue include Colombes, Saint-Maurice-aux-Forges, and Palaminy. When searching for the phrase "a oceanic" I get 240 or so results (however some of those might not be from the same issue). Gaismagorm ( talk) 16:37, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi, for those who may be interested, I've posted the list of pages at User:Dawnseeker2000/Sandbox 3. I've been using some borrowed scripts to help keep the list from growing too much, but it's been at the 4,200 level for the last couple of years. This is about articles that have references that refer to Wikipedia articles, and the first four here will remove those references and the fifth one removes the {{Circular reference|date=July 2024}} template, if present.
