Hi again. When translation page was created, there was two groups of variables for every error: with _script and _ruwiki suffixes. There was request to translate only _ruwiki variables and not to touch _script ones. Now many error filters had changed, a lot of new are created, and _script variables no longer correspond with _ruwiki ones. So, the question is: is it neccessary to still keep _script variables in every translation page? Will something breaks if I'll delete all variables, which ends with _script? As I see, all of them are already deleted in english Wikipedia. -- Facenapalm ( talk) 14:54, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

I think that the template errors (#47 and the like) ignore the characters between math tags. This is good. I think, though, that the formulas between math tags dont' get filtered out if:
Could you please check it out? -- Joutbis ( talk) 10:59, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
{{equació|1=<math display="block">P = \frac{N \cdot m \cdot \overline{v^2}}{3 \cdot V}</math>|2=3}}
is one of the lines causing a #47 error. Checkwiki thinks there is an error because there is only one {{
, while there are two }}
. Math equations are a common false positive. On enwiki, we have
whitelisted multiple articles with the majority being math related.<Math>
and <math display="inline">
. The lower/upper case does not matter and any parameter inside the math tag does not matter. However, in order to speed up the code, I check to see if there is a math tag in the article first. I was not checking cases of <math display>
. As the article only contained <math display>
, the checkwiki program "saw" no math tags, thus didn't remove anything between the math tags. Therefore, #47 showed up when it shouldn't have.<math display>
in any article, only <math alt>
and <math style>
. This is especially true when used inside the {{equació}} template, as dispaly=inline is redundant and display=block can be handled by the template. I did edit
ca:Gas ideal to remove 'display'. I also edited the CheckWiki program to check for more cases of <math, so it won't matter what is inside the math tags when "seeing" for math tags in the article.

CheckWiki detects headlines with <code>...</code>

I raised this at WP:BOTR, but someone sensibly suggested that I come here instead.
Perhaps someone's running a bot that already does this, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway, in case nobody was.
When text precedes a header, the header doesn't work, and the coding appears as normal text; run a Ctrl+F search for the equals sign at [2]. Fixing it is easy, because you just have to add a couple of new lines. If this isn't already being done, could someone's wikisyntax-fixing bot be given this as an additional task?

adding a parameter to Check Wiki configuration)If you know some way of getting a list of pages for other errors > #500, I can add it to WPCleaner. -- NicoV ( Talk on frwiki) 19:22, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Is error 81 worth keeping around? I thought it was but upon being reverted Bgwhite says "it's deactivated for a reason" due to it being one of those errors that's very frequent and I don't disagree, only #70 or #72 get close to the level of backlog and while I've long seen them as prime examples of errors that'll never be fixed they're not the issue here. This dump of articles from March that Bgwhite provided shows it is a very big issue, something I wasn't aware of prior but that's my fault for not asking about it here. I'm going to assume the length is just cumulative from when it was deactivated until now but it was frequent at the time it was still active. I hear that AWB has an issue with parsing it automatically so it wouldn't be any good as a bot task and it's hard to see even a dedicated group of people going through the backlog even semi-manually. From what Bgwhite has said, this is a perennial issue and the rate of new entries is much higher than the fixing rate so I think that with the error list at a few hundred shy of 90,000 would it be wise to simply not have it as an error? Looking for consensus or simply input as to what we could do because I'm not convinced it's insurmountable but the tools we have to process them quickly have too high a margin of error. tutterMouse ( talk) 09:22, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

I've added the possibility to generate list of errors using MediaWiki dump files directly: WPCleaner tests all articles in the dump file and when it detects an error, it checks if the error is still present in the current version of the article. You can see the result for checking #106 on frwiki using the dump from from 11st of January at fr:User:NicoV/Test#Test 106. It took me 6h, so it's not fast, but it can work also for errors above #500.

atsauces
listed. In the code, I take that and look for cases of "{{atsauces

because there maybe parameters in the template. The code looking for "{{atsauces

to the template file should solve the problem. Could you add it to the template file and give me some articles/sandbox to check for a valid #3 error and some with atsauces+

@ NicoV, Magioladitis, Yamaha5, Josve05a, Edgars2007, and Facenapalm: MediaWiki is moving to a new collation scheme called Unicode collation algorithm (UCA). Letters with diacritics will be sorted the same as with the non-diacritic version. I still don't know the timetable, but I did find the phab ticket ( T136150) on moving enwiki to UCA. They have already moved several other wikis to UCA, including Russian, French, Latvian, Farsi and Swedish wikis. The listing of wikis can be found here; I'm thinking, #6 and #37 will only check for punctuation at some point for all wikis. I'll work on getting the wikis already on UCA to only check punctuation.

Could you please check it out? -- Joutbis ( talk) 10:59, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
{{equació|1=<math display="block">P = \frac{N \cdot m \cdot \overline{v^2}}{3 \cdot V}</math>|2=3}}
is one of the lines causing a #47 error. Checkwiki thinks there is an error because there is only one {{
, while there are two }}
. Math equations are a common false positive. On enwiki, we have
whitelisted multiple articles with the majority being math related.<Math>
and <math display="inline">
. The lower/upper case does not matter and any parameter inside the math tag does not matter. However, in order to speed up the code, I check to see if there is a math tag in the article first. I was not checking cases of <math display>
. As the article only contained <math display>
, the checkwiki program "saw" no math tags, thus didn't remove anything between the math tags. Therefore, #47 showed up when it shouldn't have.<math display>
in any article, only <math alt>
and <math style>
. This is especially true when used inside the {{equació}} template, as dispaly=inline is redundant and display=block can be handled by the template. I did edit
ca:Gas ideal to remove 'display'. I also edited the CheckWiki program to check for more cases of <math, so it won't matter what is inside the math tags when "seeing" for math tags in the article.

fr:Circonscription d'Arta: [http://ekloges-prev.singularlogic.eu/v2012b/public/index.html#{%22cls%22:%22level%22,%22params%22:{%22level%22:%22ep%22,%22id%22:19}} Επικράτεια - Εκλ. Περιφέρεια Αρτας]
. Should it really be detected by CW ? If yes, how can I fix them (without adding all the articles in the white list) ? --

CheckWiki detects headlines with <code>...</code>
tags like
== <code>Whatever</code> ==
as
== ==
and when there are more such headlines in one article which are not same, they are reported as same. Is there any possibility to adjust the algorithm, or should those just be put on whitelists?

I raised this at WP:BOTR, but someone sensibly suggested that I come here instead.
Perhaps someone's running a bot that already does this, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway, in case nobody was.
When text precedes a header, the header doesn't work, and the coding appears as normal text; run a Ctrl+F search for the equals sign at [2]. Fixing it is easy, because you just have to add a couple of new lines. If this isn't already being done, could someone's wikisyntax-fixing bot be given this as an additional task?

I've modified WPCleaner to be able to manage a list for some of these errors:
[[1980|1985]]

adding a parameter to Check Wiki configuration)If you know some way of getting a list of pages for other errors > #500, I can add it to WPCleaner. -- NicoV ( Talk on frwiki) 19:22, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Is error 81 worth keeping around? I thought it was but upon being reverted Bgwhite says "it's deactivated for a reason" due to it being one of those errors that's very frequent and I don't disagree, only #70 or #72 get close to the level of backlog and while I've long seen them as prime examples of errors that'll never be fixed they're not the issue here. This dump of articles from March that Bgwhite provided shows it is a very big issue, something I wasn't aware of prior but that's my fault for not asking about it here. I'm going to assume the length is just cumulative from when it was deactivated until now but it was frequent at the time it was still active. I hear that AWB has an issue with parsing it automatically so it wouldn't be any good as a bot task and it's hard to see even a dedicated group of people going through the backlog even semi-manually. From what Bgwhite has said, this is a perennial issue and the rate of new entries is much higher than the fixing rate so I think that with the error list at a few hundred shy of 90,000 would it be wise to simply not have it as an error? Looking for consensus or simply input as to what we could do because I'm not convinced it's insurmountable but the tools we have to process them quickly have too high a margin of error. tutterMouse ( talk) 09:22, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

I've added the possibility to generate list of errors using MediaWiki dump files directly: WPCleaner tests all articles in the dump file and when it detects an error, it checks if the error is still present in the current version of the article. You can see the result for checking #106 on frwiki using the dump from from 11st of January at fr:User:NicoV/Test#Test 106. It took me 6h, so it's not fast, but it can work also for errors above #500.

Hello. The link [7] recognized as #91. Thank you. IKhitron ( talk) 19:31, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
IKhitron what is the use of this link? It is totally unexpected. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 19:45, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
IKhitron we can whitelist the page but I wonder why the did not use {{ diff}} or something else that does not require external site access. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 20:31, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello! Ruwiki project page has moved. New translation page lies here:
@ Bgwhite: can you change its destination in your scripts? Thanks! Facenapalm ( talk) 11:26, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Bgwhite, maybe you would consider changing regex a little bit for #3? At lvwiki, equivalent for {{
reflist}} is {{atsauces}}
, for {{
unreferenced}} - {{atsauces+}}
. So if article has maintaince tag {{atsauces+}}
and <ref>s
, the article will be skipped in Checkwiki (as script checks only for {{atsauces
). --

atsauces
listed. In the code, I take that and look for cases of "{{atsauces
". There's nothing at the end of {{atsauces
because there maybe parameters in the template. The code looking for "{{atsauces
" is a regex. So, in theory, adding atsauces[^\+]
to the template file should solve the problem. Could you add it to the template file and give me some articles/sandbox to check for a valid #3 error and some with atsauces+
. I'll test and make sure it works.

Hi
Bgwhite, new false positives are appearing on
frwiki when the category name itself contains a colon with whitespace characters around it, like [[Catégorie:Acteur de Lost : Les Disparus]]
in
fr:Terry O'Quinn. --

@ NicoV, Magioladitis, Yamaha5, Josve05a, Edgars2007, and Facenapalm: MediaWiki is moving to a new collation scheme called Unicode collation algorithm (UCA). Letters with diacritics will be sorted the same as with the non-diacritic version. I still don't know the timetable, but I did find the phab ticket ( T136150) on moving enwiki to UCA. They have already moved several other wikis to UCA, including Russian, French, Latvian, Farsi and Swedish wikis. The listing of wikis can be found here; I'm thinking, #6 and #37 will only check for punctuation at some point for all wikis. I'll work on getting the wikis already on UCA to only check punctuation.

Hello. Is there a possibility to recognize a template as footnote? Thank you. IKhitron ( talk) 15:35, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
error_003_templates_ruwiki=
Примечания
Список примечаний
Reflist
Reflist+ END
# ...
error_078_templates_ruwiki=
(Примечания|Список примечаний|Reflist\+?)(?![^}]*group) END
<ref name=somename...>some text</ref>
. I can't do this in rtl, so I use {{reftemplate|name=somename|...|some text}}, which is transcluded to the previous form. I asked if there is a possibility to add local name of footnote template, that will be recognized as ref tag.

Hello. id 14 recognized unclosed source tags. This tag is deprecated. Does the #14 recognizes also syntaxhighlight unclosed tags? And can you create a new id that recognizes any source tags? Thank you very much. IKhitron ( talk) 16:08, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
<source>
tags have been deprecated, people are still using them. As adding syntaxhighlight would take 30 seconds to copy/paste and make minor tweeks, I've already added it. I've left it under #14 as the two tags do essentially the same thing.

If we manage to have more bots running daily we can reduce the time required to fix errors drastically. This means we have more free time to detect more errors and and add to our list. What could these errors be? In an ideal world, we could check all of WP:GENFIXES and see what is worth to be done even as a sole task. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 09:25, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I hope somebody who read this can find 5 minutes to help me. I'll be very glad if it's possible, so if I know it's not your "duty". I made a lot of changes in our translation page, because most of it was there from the time when checkwiki was a beta on dewiki. But it doesn't work any more! I tryed to find some variable without END or some another syntax error, but could not. What could be the problem? Thank you very very much in advance, IKhitron ( talk) 11:55, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
The page USA:S inrikessäkerhetsdepartement has appeared on sv.wp's list of #2-errors for ~1 year now (or longer), at least when processing with WPCleaner. That page does not exist (the page USA:s inrikessäkerhetsdepartement however does exists). Yet this page appears on the CHECKWIKI list, and in the automated maintenece category Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tags on sv.wp. Why is this? ( t) Josve05a ( c) 10:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi. It ran today, a long time before the new dumps were completed. It's a bug? IKhitron ( talk) 00:29, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
At
here most of the reported items are false positive. the {{DEFAULTSORT:}}
on fa.wikipedia is {{ترتیبپیشفرض:}}
. checkwiki shows any texts which is started with ترتیب:
it doesn't care that it should have {{
at the first. for example
fa:آرایههای ادبی doesn't have blank at first position.

There are some pages on wikipedia's like below which shows common wrong dictation. please add this to the reports to show which pages have these words.
Hi. I started to fix #28, and found he:(Miss)understood and he:Anastacia at start of the list. It doesn't look like there are problems there. Maybe there are some more, didn't check yet. Thank you, IKhitron ( talk) 18:06, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Checkwiki has been updated to check for more cases of empty <gallery>
tags in #85. Will also check for alot more cases of #90 and #91, especially when Wikipedia is used as a reference.

Bgwhite, NicoV Checkwiki updated #91 to also catch mobile links. This includes mobiles link to English Wikipedia too. (I am OK with that.) -- Magioladitis ( talk) 06:05, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
The last scanned dump was from 2016-05-01 (115 days ago). [8] Most other projects seem to have had updates since then. [9] Anybody know why it hasn't updated in this long for nowiki?-- Telaneo ( User talk page) 21:39, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi @
Bgwhite:, it seems that #67 is taking into accounts extra spaces put after the abbreviations in the error_067_abbreviations
parameter. I had to search for them and
remove them from frwiki configuration to remove some false positives. Would it be possible for CW to trim() each abbreviation by itself ? --

Hi all! Have some stupid questions, so sorry if the answer is obvious :)
== Foo ===
"?[{Foo]]
and {[Foo]]
be catched? And what about something like this (OK, this is quite hypothetical):
Some text {[link]] and some more text and [[link]}
-- Edgars2007 ( talk/ contribs) 19:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
[{Foo]]
), but will not catch the second {[link]]
.Edgars2007 Checkwiki should now pick up cases of INFORMĀCIJA and any other cases of whacked out Latvian or other non-standard Latin letters. Bgwhite ( talk) 00:32, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Oh, one more question. Does Checkwiki catch such URL: [url link text [[linked text]] some more]
. It's quite worse, when wikilink is the first thing after URL. --

which is regarded as bad practice to use them directly in an article, the users of these particular modules seem to have decided otherwise. What do you want to do about it and/or are you the right person to bug? :) -- Izno ( talk) 17:20, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi. It seems that a configuration exists for alswiki ( als:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Syntaxkorrektur/Übersetzung) and a project page also ( als:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Syntaxkorrektur), but on the project interface links to the project page and translation are not linking to them and it uses the default configuration rather than the one on the wiki. Is it possible to change that? -- NicoV ( Talk on frwiki) 08:33, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
