ActivelyDisinterested, or AD, or they, but not LCU.
I generally deal with technical issues around WP:V, one day I hope to upgrade Wikipedia's perceived reliability from meme worthy to just unreliable.
If I've made a comment, and it appears backwards to a previous comment I've made or doesn't quite make sense, then it's likely I've missed "n't" or "not" somewhere. No I don't know why I do that.
If I corrected an error that you couldn't see any error message for, you need to turn these error messages on as detailed in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.
Backlog: Harv and Sfn no-target errors |
If you are trying to deal with an new editor/IP (creating pages with / adding content that is) broken and poorly translated about Papua New Guinea see LTA Sony Esau Mbisikmbo.
Stuff to remember
{{harvc}}, {{Db-r2}}, {{Copyvio-revdel}}, MOS:SANDWICH, MOS:IMGSIZE, MOS:SECTIONLOC, MOS:CURLY, WP:PAREN, MOS:ORDER, WP:CS:EMBED, Module:Footnotes/whitelist, phab:T355914, as I'm always forgetting the right links.
For when I need to edit them:
User:ActivelyDisinterested/common.js
User:ActivelyDisinterested/common.css
{{navbox}} automatically adds the class nowraplinks which can be overridden, for example with |listclass=wraplinks.
Editting
In general I'm currently fixing no target errors, such edits usually have a summary including the tracking category:
Harv and Sfn no-target errors(4,593)
For when it doesn't update correctly
These seem to have some common causes.
Process for whitelisting False positives
I edit nearly exclusively on mobile using the desktop site, and apart from a few edits using reFill to de-duplicate refs or InternetArchiveBot to add archives, all my edits are done manually in source.
@&#£ing @&#% Category:Pages with broken anchors has 69,957 entries.
Things to check on
Unreliable sources:
Not a reliable source
Not a reliable source either
Use of w.wiki, it's going to become a problem
All the same things, but I can't get the regex right:
Sneaky uses of Wikipedia as a reference (a)
Sneaky uses of Wikipedia as a reference (b)
Sneaky uses of Wikipedia as a reference (b)
Formatting issues:
harvnb used in |ref=
Clear-up:
sfn whitelist clear-up
Retracted papers:
Category:Articles citing retracted publications(269)
Category:Articles citing publications with expressions of concern(79)
Category:Articles citing publications with errata(66)
Useful stuff
Wikipedia Library
Earwig's Copyvio Detector
For when you're being lazy
InternetArchiveBot
PetScan because why would you name it CatScan that would be to easy to find.
Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors
Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request
Wikipedia:WikiProject Check Wikipedia
Keep an eye on these:
Filter 1254
