Description

IABot is currently adding duplicate parameters for Template:CitLib @huwiki (example1, example2, tracking category).

Please update the template the following way:

  • preferred parameters: archívurl and archívdátum
  • deprecated parameters: aurl and archd

Thanks in advance!

@Cyberpower678: these two edits were made after or before the requested changes? Just because they still added duplicated parameters.

//edit
Template:CitWeb should be changed the same, please.

Does “deprecated” mean that IABot will replace these parameters (with the totally wrong edit summary 1 forrás archiválása és 0 megjelölése halott linkként.)? Then no, please. These parameter names are not deprecated, they are equally right alternatives. If I, as a human, decide to use the Latin parameter name set instead of the Hungarian one, the bot should at least not change the parameter names I added. (Ideally it would guess which set is in use, but that might be too complicated.)

Under deprecated I meant not preferred alias, as we need to choose one parameter pair for the bot (personally, I don't have a favourite).

It’s no problem as long as IABot doesn’t “clean up” the non-preferred parameter name—it apparently does a lot of cleanup that no one requested.

It won’t. It’s not designed to do that. It will only recognize the alias and use what’s there, or add the default preferred alias if not defined.

Okay, thanks. Unfortunately it does (or at least has done) so much normalization I wouldn’t expect it to do that I no longer assume that it won’t normalize something that it technically can.

Normalization is by default on, but can be turned off if the community wants it off.

I think it should be opt-in, not opt-out. But this discussion is offtopic here, so I created a new task for it: T273206.

The only thing that should happen in this task is you verifying that you configured CitWeb as well, not only CitLib.
