InternetArchiveBot uses and forces English parameters on Turkish Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Incident:

  1. InternetArchiveBot uses ölüurl=yes and ölüurl=no parameters for deadlink.
  2. Turkish Wikipedia community decides to standardise citation templates, which includes deadlink (ölüurl) parameters.
  3. Bots and AWB users start to edit citation templates, change ölüurl=yes with ölüurl=evet and ölüurl=no with ölüurl=hayır.
  4. InternetArchiveBot reverts those edits and bots and AWB users start to collide. Examples: https://tr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adam_Yay%C4%B1nlar%C4%B1&action=history and https://tr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2017_Malezya_Grand_Prix&action=history.

What is expected from InternetArchiveBot:

  1. Abandoning ölüurl=yes and ölüurl=no, using ölüurl=evet and ölüurl=hayır.
  2. Not reverting such fixes. This might be possible by checking ''arşivurl'' (archiveurl) parameter.

Currently, Turkish Wikipedia community cannot use InternetArchiveBot since this bug and T269605.
