set to deploy with 2.0.1

Better to open or refile? I'm getting the same error:

Error deleting file: An unknown error occurred in storage backend "local-multiwrite".

Missing context above, but this is the ticket for getting iabot to handle the recent CS1 change from |dead-url= to the new |url-access= |url-status= param, yes?

@Cyberpower678 do you have an estimate on when this will be deployed?

@Cyberpower678 this doesn't appear to be running on "Further reading" sections:

This will be a game changer. Thank you!

Another option would be to use the "book section" type in lieu of the "book" type, which should take a page or page range

I can reproduce what you describe as the user report:

@Cirdan nope, thanks! but I'll keep an eye out

Looking to fix an issue with The Guardian. Possible to sync latest translators @mobrovac ?

Just wanted to reiterate again how crucial this is. Many article refs use this format instead of <ref> tags—especially on featured and {{sfn}}-heavy articles—so a big blind spot for iabot. (Not to mention the number of links not being preemptively archived.)

This could be even simpler. What I was originally thinking: If editors A and B primarily edit in enwp, the field should autofill to enwp, even without the text prediction.

Had an issue very similar to this happen twice today at an edit-a-thon:

Citoid (which, as I understand it, has custom-built additions atop Zotero's translation-server) doesn't appear to be using Zotero for the DOI translation (GitHub ticket) so @Mvolz will know the answer here

Is this still on the docket? It's vital. Is there some other way of specifying valid string values in TemplateData (TD)? If not, that would appear to be a large oversight if TD is supposed to help users easily interact with template params

@Legoktm even when they're built into enwp's preferences panel? It isn't an external gadget—I thought it was part of Mediawiki

Just need to manually sync translators database with Github (à la T137950)

Relevant discussion at enwp:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Create_a_new_Event_Coordinators_user_group

I can, if there is a place on Meta perhaps, but there is no inherent connection between IAbot and Citoid to generalize on MediaWiki (and there isn't a good place on enwp's Citoid page either)

Since it hasn't been mentioned, wanted to note that the new https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot has an option to add archive parameters to a specific page's citations before they have a chance to die. Separately, the IA bot also crawls WP for dead links and adds archive URLs when applicable. The aforementioned interface is good for proactive editors, though.

@Cyberpower678 Is there a good place to document iabot on mediawiki.org? I'm not familiar with where the iabot repo is stored or whether it's capable of running on other mediawiki installations

I went to test this out on enwp today but I'm getting:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "internal_api_error_DBQueryError",
        "info": "[WWfbIQpAEDMAAFYiJJ4AAACS] Database query error."
    },
    "servedby": "mw1286"
}

@Cyberpower678 do you see a route for https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot to integrate here and do the heavy lifting?

For posterity, the bot is up at https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot, where there is also an option to add archive parameters to a specific page's citations before they have a chance to die.

@Samwalton9 are you in contact with Wiley through TWL? (Or is someone else?) Might you be able to help us get in touch? Summary: We need our server whitelisted so that we can provide automated lookup of their citation information

For anyone watching this task, I am currently using a script for this function: User:Evad37/MoveToDraft

The DOIs resolve (https://dx.doi.org/) to:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2117.2002.00186.x/abstract
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/94WR00436/abstract

Alternatively, I'd welcome some kind of Commons tool that converted GIFs to webm if there is no chance that GIF compatibility will improve

Any update on this? I use a number of animations in articles and sometimes (without explanation) their thumbnails will not resize properly or show as a broken/white image. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rain_World&oldid=772601693 once displayed properly (resized as width=300) but the images broke on a reload. (Latest Chrome)

I think T113262 is the same task (modifying the Zotero translator to include any parameters needed for WP, and the only one that applies, I presume, is the page number). I might be able to help with tasks like this but I'm unfamiliar with how the WMF Citoid installation works and if there is a set method for hooking into an existing translator

Sent a Phabricator chat invite

But EM support is planned, right? So this task would be blocked by that one (looks like T140539 is the closest ticket)

Does that mean a bypass was created to handle these? I can confirm that the sample citation also compiles properly in the VE's Citoid dialog.

Pulling fine for me in Zotero Standalone with either Elsevier or Embedded Metadata translators

http://www.nutritionjrnl.com/article/S0899-9007(00)00400-7/fulltext

{{Cite journal |last1=Weisburger |first1=John H. |title=Eat to live, not live to eat ∗ |journal=Nutrition |volume=16 |issue=9 |pages=767–773 |date=2000-09-01 |url=http://www.nutritionjrnl.com/article/S0899-9007(00)00400-7/fulltext |doi=10.1016/S0899-9007(00)00400-7 |issn=0899-9007, 1873-1244 |pmid=11032452 |df=mdy-all }}

Does this need a Zotero translator? It's a newsletter that doesn't appear to follow any regular metadata format. (Has it run since 2015 or has it stopped?) I would consider it a case where the citation should be assembled manually. Thoughts? If needed, I can write one, especially if multiple pages need to be cited... but wondering whether it's needed.

I'm not exactly sure how this ended but it looks like the GitHub discussion (#1066) ended in the decision to put the Google-Books-ID in the extra field. I suppose this means that we need a Citoid-specific Google Books translator that will retain the URL submitted to Citoid? Or is there some other means for catching the URL without making a Citoid-specific translator? I still think the GB link's parameters should be reduced to the single page only (as done in http://reftag.appspot.com/).

I don't know about this. Reuters is the work if the source is reuters.com. If source is X Regional News and they're repeating a Reuters story, we would want the source as the newspaper and Reuters as the supplying agency (story still needs to be verifiable, after all), but if there is no original newspaper cited, then the source/work is indeed Reuters.

Looks like this is handled now: https://citoid.wikimedia.org/api?format=mediawiki&search=http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v38/n1/full/ijo201369a.html yields

@Mvolz, has this been resolved?

It doesn't yet - that is the request

Filed: https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/1260

Concerning the tutorial to be written (on how to write translators): any suggestions for the website to be used as the example? Ideally it would be a site available under a free use license such that we can take screenshots of its design and code.

@Mvolz, I was just perusing through the Github issues—didn't even know/realize they were also microtasks on Phabricator!

Is this request specific to VisualEditor? I'm not familiar with how VE handles mass citation reformatting or if that's outside its scope

Whichever is easiest—both are fine, but the on-wiki looks the cleanest right now. I imagine the off-wiki site would require more design/maintenance work, so best not to bother with that.
