Hello! 34th error doesn't detects those template elements:
{{NAMESPACENUMBER}}
{{#tag:...}}
There're also a lot of
other magic words; most of them shouldn't be used in main namespace, but I don't think that such words as {{CURRENTVERSION]}
CAN be used in any namespace. Some words, such as {{SUBJECTSPACE}}
, can, but very rarely. I can make a list of those words, if you need.

_noeditsection_
and _noindex_
. {{#tag:...}}
is valid per
WP:REFNEST.Your note about #tag sounds legit. Ok, I grab some statistics:
Technical metadata:
Page names:
URL encoded page names doesn't used in ruwiki at all. Enwiki statistics:
Namespaces (SUBJECTSPACE/ARTICLESPACE, TALKSPACE) not used in both ruwiki and enwiki. Same on URL encoded namespaces: NAMESPACEE, SUBJECTSPACEE/ARTICLESPACEE, TALKSPACEE. Idk for "ns".
URL data:
Formating and Localization is widely used in both wikis, no sence to ban :) I don't know statistics for Miscellaneous section - #language, #special.
IMHO, It's useful to detect all cases from technical metadata until PAGEID except CURRENTVERSION, page names, URL encoded page names and URL data except urlencode. Facenapalm ( talk) 05:37, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Bgwhite: btw, as I understood, Check Wikipedia now doesnt' detects any unsolved parameters (such as {{{param}}}
) in ruwiki, because /\{\{\{/
regexp doesn't works due to legal {{{!}}

{{{param}}}
in main namespace. Checkwiki detects them by searching "{{{" in wikicode for all wikis except ruwiki, because in ruwiki we usually insert tables into templates via {{{!}}
code (instead of {|
, which is not works correctly in templates). I think you remember: I wrote about it twice, because it led to thousands of false positives in 43rd and 34th errors. Your solution for 34th error was just to delete detection by "{{{". I ask you to re-add the detection via /\{\{\{[^!]/ regexp.{{{1|22px}}}
but them don't detected by 34th error. But, as I noted just now, it detected by 43th one. 0_o

@ Bgwhite: any news? Simple and powerful idea: allow to specify your own regular expression in local translation file.

Hi Bgwhite, I'm starting a dump analysis on frwiki with WPC for errors related to categories. It should be completed in a few hours, but I'm already seeing a lot of pages detected by WPC, but not by CW. For some, I'm not sure if I should restrict the detection on my side, or if we should expand the detection on CW side. Examples:
[[Catégorie : Art visuel|* ]]
, so whitespace characters in almost every place : before the colon, after the colon, at the end of the sort key
[[catégorie:Construction aéronautique]]
, so a "catégorie" with a lowercase letter
[[Catégorie:Commune de l'Yonne|Senan]]
before the last title == Liens externes ==
, so a "catégorie" before the last sectionWPC will fill up the lists when it has finished its dump analysis (normally a few hours), I'm seeing many other detection in the logs, so there maybe other kinds of discrepancies between our tools. -- NicoV ( Talk on frwiki) 17:41, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Dump analysis is done for the following errors, and I've seen the following discrepancies:
-- NicoV ( Talk on frwiki) 08:48, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
== Liens externes ==
. Algorithm is, 1) get a headline 2) find its position in the article 3) Go thru each category and find its position in the text 4) if headline position is greater than category position, call error.Today, I first corrected all of the #53 errors. Then, I went to correct the #51 errors. To my initial surprise, I saw some of the same errors that I had corrected for #53 listed under #51 errors.
On further thought, I question why the Checkwiki software scans for two different "misplaced interwiki" errors. If an interwiki link does not appear after the last category, it's an error. No need to distinguish between "before last heading" and "before last category".

{{example]]
you also get two errors (and it's disturbingly common), one for the template without a correct end, one for the square brackets without correct beginning. Correct one and the other is not updated. If you fix a bunch of errors in one article, you'll see it's still listed under all the other errors, which seems to me to be a missing feature in WPCleaner.

Bgwhite: A user asked me to add a way of ignoring some texts for #103 in link labels : for example, the
second division of Spain soccer championship is now named LaLiga 1|2|3, so it may often appear in link labels. What about adding a parameter for listing such normal texts containing a pipe, like the parameter error_067_abbreviations
that exists for #67 ? I can easily add it to WPC, but it would become very useful only if CW only takes it into account. --

{{!}}
in the article and it would also have to show up between square brackets. If they were to use LaLiga 1|2|3 in a wikilink, then the article needs to be whitelisted. This would be rare as 99% of the articles just use "Segunda División" or "La Liga 2" The name changes every few years in La Liga 1 and La Liga 2 that its very rare to see the sponsorship name in a wikilink. It would actually be very dumb to use the sponsorship name because of the pain in changing roughly 5,000 articles every few years.

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.

Why does WPC 002 dump include non-empty and not-obviously broken instances of <cite> in it? All those entries also don't match toolforge.

First off, I am unsure if this is actually a bug. I am pretty sure that what I was doing with wikitext is nonstandard. Nevertheless, I had a table in a footnote, and the WikiCleaner bot did something weird that made the table gobble up the next footnote?
Here's the diff that I take issue with. If you compare the
before to
after, I don't know any way to describe it other than "the table gobbled up the next footnote". I made a simplified example in my user sandbox of the issue with the script (specifically the issue is replacing }}}
with }}
).
Here's the diff,
here's the before,
here's the after. As you can see, in the before, the table works just fine, but after WikiCleaner, the table has an extra column for some reason, and it has pulled the unrelated other footnote into it. I know this is a super weird edge case so I am not too concerned (I would not be surprised if this is only an issue on Space Launch System and no other page on the whole site), but perhaps the bot could be programmed to leave this specific pattern alone?

Hi @ Bamyers99. I think #75 is producing some false positives.
For example, on frwiki, it reports Action directe (théorie politique) because of the following combination:
* '''Action directe non violente'''...
: Dans ...
:* Sensibiliser ...
I think the line starting with :
should stop the search of :*
after the line starting with *
.
The existing code is:
if ( index( $line, q{*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{#} ) == 0 ) {
$list = 1;
}
elsif ( $list == 1
and ( $line ne q{} and index( $line, q{:} ) != 0 ) )
{
$list = 0;
}
if ( $list == 1
and
( index( $line, q{:*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{:#} ) == 0 ) )
{
error_register( $error_code, substr( $line, 0, 40 ) );
}
Maybe modifying it this way would solve this problem:
if ( index( $line, q{*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{#} ) == 0 ) {
$list = 1;
}
elsif ( $list == 1 and $line ne q{} )
{
if ( index( $line, q{:*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{:#} ) == 0 ) {
error_register( $error_code, substr( $line, 0, 40 ) );
}
else {
$list = 0;
}
}

At least for frwiki, it seems that the rule should not be applied for such punctuation character ( recent talk). It's often the case of citations, and in such case, the punctuation can be considered as part of the citation.

Hi together,
in de:WP CW category 105 reports cases, where a header is integrated into an argument for template
de:template:Mehrspaltige Liste as leading part of the argument liste=
. In this case you have the (difficult to read for humans) syntax
{{Mehrspaltige Liste |liste==== Headertext === ...}}
where the first =
of ====
(4x=
) is part of declaring "This is argument 'liste'", while the trailing ===
(3x) define "here starts a header level 3". It is esp. confusing because it looks like a header with 4 opening =
and 3 closing ===
, though it is syntactically correct (at least it is interpreted by the Wiki-Software as intended).
This scenario leads to false positives in CW 105.
The reporting can be solved by splitting the 4 =
(e.g. liste==== Headertext ===
) into
liste= === Headertext ==="
, but this is considered an unwanted nulledit by some users.
An example of a change solving this false positive can be found in https://de.wikipedia.org/?title=Kling_Klang&diff=prev&oldid=229540863 (watch out for text "liste==== Keimzeit" or at least "Keimzeit"). User @ Fan-vom-Wiki: has stated, that Visual Editor will delete this separating newline (I have not checked, whether this is true), so that long term more false positives like this will occur, even when being fixed as shown above.
I'm aware that this is a very special case and that it might be difficult to have an exception for this special pattern, but because a growing amount of false positives can be expected I want to ask whether this can be fixed.
Many thanks in advance Bicycle Tourer ( talk) 10:49, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Bgwhite, I'm starting a dump analysis on frwiki with WPC for errors related to categories. It should be completed in a few hours, but I'm already seeing a lot of pages detected by WPC, but not by CW. For some, I'm not sure if I should restrict the detection on my side, or if we should expand the detection on CW side. Examples:
[[Catégorie : Art visuel|* ]]
, so whitespace characters in almost every place : before the colon, after the colon, at the end of the sort key
[[catégorie:Construction aéronautique]]
, so a "catégorie" with a lowercase letter
[[Catégorie:Commune de l'Yonne|Senan]]
before the last title == Liens externes ==

. Algorithm is, 1) get a headline 2) find its position in the article 3) Go thru each category and find its position in the text 4) if headline position is greater than category position, call error.Today, I first corrected all of the #53 errors. Then, I went to correct the #51 errors. To my initial surprise, I saw some of the same errors that I had corrected for #53 listed under #51 errors.
On further thought, I question why the Checkwiki software scans for two different "misplaced interwiki" errors. If an interwiki link does not appear after the last category, it's an error. No need to distinguish between "before last heading" and "before last category".

you also get two errors (and it's disturbingly common), one for the template without a correct end, one for the square brackets without correct beginning. Correct one and the other is not updated. If you fix a bunch of errors in one article, you'll see it's still listed under all the other errors, which seems to me to be a missing feature in WPCleaner.

second division of Spain soccer championship is now named LaLiga 1|2|3, so it may often appear in link labels. What about adding a parameter for listing such normal texts containing a pipe, like the parameter error_067_abbreviations
that exists for #67 ? I can easily add it to WPC, but it would become very useful only if CW only takes it into account. --

{{!}}
in the article and it would also have to show up between square brackets. If they were to use LaLiga 1|2|3 in a wikilink, then the article needs to be whitelisted. This would be rare as 99% of the articles just use "Segunda División" or "La Liga 2" The name changes every few years in La Liga 1 and La Liga 2 that its very rare to see the sponsorship name in a wikilink. It would actually be very dumb to use the sponsorship name because of the pain in changing roughly 5,000 articles every few years.

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.

First off, I am unsure if this is actually a bug. I am pretty sure that what I was doing with wikitext is nonstandard. Nevertheless, I had a table in a footnote, and the WikiCleaner bot did something weird that made the table gobble up the next footnote?
Here's the diff that I take issue with. If you compare the
before to
after, I don't know any way to describe it other than "the table gobbled up the next footnote". I made a simplified example in my user sandbox of the issue with the script (specifically the issue is replacing }}}
with }}
).
Here's the diff,
here's the before,
here's the after. As you can see, in the before, the table works just fine, but after WikiCleaner, the table has an extra column for some reason, and it has pulled the unrelated other footnote into it. I know this is a super weird edge case so I am not too concerned (I would not be surprised if this is only an issue on Space Launch System and no other page on the whole site), but perhaps the bot could be programmed to leave this specific pattern alone?

Hi @ Bamyers99. I think #75 is producing some false positives.
For example, on frwiki, it reports Action directe (théorie politique) because of the following combination:
* '''Action directe non violente'''...
: Dans ...
:* Sensibiliser ...
I think the line starting with :
should stop the search of :*
after the line starting with *
.
The existing code is:
if ( index( $line, q{*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{#} ) == 0 ) {
$list = 1;
}
elsif ( $list == 1
and ( $line ne q{} and index( $line, q{:} ) != 0 ) )
{
$list = 0;
}
if ( $list == 1
and
( index( $line, q{:*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{:#} ) == 0 ) )
{
error_register( $error_code, substr( $line, 0, 40 ) );
}
Maybe modifying it this way would solve this problem:
if ( index( $line, q{*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{#} ) == 0 ) {
$list = 1;
}
elsif ( $list == 1 and $line ne q{} )
{
if ( index( $line, q{:*} ) == 0 or index( $line, q{:#} ) == 0 ) {
error_register( $error_code, substr( $line, 0, 40 ) );
}
else {
$list = 0;
}
}

Hi @
Bamyers99. Would it be possible to modify #67 to ignore references after a !
or a ?
?
At least for frwiki, it seems that the rule should not be applied for such punctuation character ( recent talk). It's often the case of citations, and in such case, the punctuation can be considered as part of the citation.
Only 3 other wikis have this rule activated:
I think it's only one line to change. NicoV ( Talk on frwiki) 18:08, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi all! I did some work and updated the ISBNs in a few pages in /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia/ISBN_errors , could someone make sure the list gets updated with the tool? Thanks! BhamBoi ( talk) 03:59, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi together,
in de:WP CW category 105 reports cases, where a header is integrated into an argument for template
de:template:Mehrspaltige Liste as leading part of the argument liste=
. In this case you have the (difficult to read for humans) syntax
{{Mehrspaltige Liste |liste==== Headertext === ...}}
where the first =
of ====
(4x=
) is part of declaring "This is argument 'liste'", while the trailing ===
(3x) define "here starts a header level 3". It is esp. confusing because it looks like a header with 4 opening =
and 3 closing ===
, though it is syntactically correct (at least it is interpreted by the Wiki-Software as intended).
This scenario leads to false positives in CW 105.
The reporting can be solved by splitting the 4 =
(e.g. liste==== Headertext ===
) into
liste= === Headertext ==="
, but this is considered an unwanted nulledit by some users.
An example of a change solving this false positive can be found in https://de.wikipedia.org/?title=Kling_Klang&diff=prev&oldid=229540863 (watch out for text "liste==== Keimzeit" or at least "Keimzeit"). User @ Fan-vom-Wiki: has stated, that Visual Editor will delete this separating newline (I have not checked, whether this is true), so that long term more false positives like this will occur, even when being fixed as shown above.
I'm aware that this is a very special case and that it might be difficult to have an exception for this special pattern, but because a growing amount of false positives can be expected I want to ask whether this can be fixed.
Many thanks in advance Bicycle Tourer ( talk) 10:49, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
If (German Wikipedia AND first position in the parameter „Text“ in the Template „Mehrspaltige Liste“) Then exclude this error.

15:42, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Hi, someone who understands how it works might like to look at this . It has incorrectly added an additional close to a comment that resulted in the references and categories "vanishing". Probably a rare edge case the script can't handle, but worth fixing if possible.

I was thinking that there could be an error relating to redirects without rcats (redirects which don’t have Template:Rcat shell, which should have things like Template:R from chemical formula for example). This would increase redirect maintenance categorisation, which, as said here, should happen. greyzxq talk 19:14, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

in the configuration, so any template that starts with మూలాలు
(like మూలాలు సమీక్షించండి
) is counted. If you want to clearly limit to the template with this exact name, you should add \s*[|}]
