InternetArchiveBot is adding redundant parameters on pt.wikipedia
Open, HighPublic

Description

Hi there!

At pt.wikipedia, InternetArchiveBot is adding the parameters "|arquivodata=" and "|arquivourl=" when the parameter "|wayb=" is already present, which makes them redundant. Basically, wayb receives the Internet Archive ID, and the template/module interprets it as an URL and also fills the date from it. This was previously discussed at InternetArchiveBot, Again the InternetArchiveBot and has now been reported again at InternetArchiveBot bot editions are leaving reference errors. Some examples can be found at diffs 52781713, 52783128 53620028, 55151538.

Thanks!

Event Timeline

Someone re-enabled the bot without authorization.

I enabled it after discussing with the community here: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Caf%C3%A9_dos_programadores&diff=56770057&oldid=56768498

After detecting that the problem was still unresolved I disabled it.
