I'm not sure I understand everything you suggest because for me it seems WPCleaner already does a lot of that (detecting errors, automatically fixing the safe ones, highlight the errors and suggest fixes to the user, update the status of the various errors...) apart from being an actual workflow triggered by the detection of a template and its removal at the end. Can you explain more precisely what new features are involved?

Relased with WPCleaner NG 0.0.2.

Implemented in WPCleaner NG

Long delay to fix it, but it's done, I stopped using Properties.

See T392773

T256234 is also about this : I never found the time to implement this (for the user being able to add any wiki).

Hi @Shashwatojha369 , I pushed a commit based on your PR to avoid the formatting problem and improve a few things in the class at the same time. It should be available soon (in the process of deploying a new version).

@NenhumaFenix , sorry about that, it should be fixed now

Hi @NenhumaFenix , you can try, it should be available now

Related modification to improve performance.

Other templates added to the configuration. Code has also been modified to handle template groups, it will need to be released to work correctly with the new configuration.

I checked a few of the errors reported on frwiki, and I don't see any solution on wiki to fix them that wouldn't require both a huge amount of work to "fix" the current "problems" and adding unnecessary complexity in many use cases for regular editors.

I'm working with @SyntaxTerror on frwiki to try to solve the problem there.

I wasn't notified when you created this task. It should be fixed in a few minutes.

WPCleaner can now handle bot passwords, and will give instructions to the user if the login is rejected because of an attempt to login with the main account

Hi @Blackisnewyellow , it should be available now. Tell me if there's any problem.

@dcaro , I'm not talking about a small delay : the example I've given you above shows a job that has been running for almost 10h and toolforge jobs logs says there are no logs, while kubectl gives logs from the beginning. For me, it always says there's no logs. I never tried the --follow option, but if it's just an option to wait, it won't do anything since the logs never arrive.

Hi @Raymond_Ndibe, a few answers:

I also confirm that toolforge jobs logs incorrectly says (sometimes ?) that my job have no logs, but when I try with kubectl, I do get logs.

Thanks @Aklapper for the notification !

For me, it's included, do not hesitate if you think it can be improved

Bonjour @Denvis1 , c'est surprenant que ça marche sans mot de passe...

@Denvis1 Je répète en Français ;-)

I think I will need to modify WPCleaner so that it gives clear instructions on what to do in this situation

@Denvis1, I think it's because the login method used by WPCleaner has been restricted and now prevents to login with your normal password. You can try to go to Special:Botpasswords on your wiki and define a bot password for WPCleaner then use this bot password in WPCleaner. You will keep your normal password to login in Wikipedia website. Bot password allows you to restrict the rights given to WPCleaner: be sure to give it at least read and write rights.

Hi @TarnishedPath and @Mondo

Hi @TarnishedPath and @Mondo

No answer and unable to reproduce on my end.

I won't do it on WPCleaner current code base, and if I manage to develop WPCleaner-NG, it will be based on updated libraries

Hi @Mastrocom , could you upgrade to Java 17 or above ? I've stopped supporting Java 8 some time ago, but apparently it was really applied only recently.

I won't do it on WPCleaner current code base, and if I manage to develop WPCleaner-NG, it will be based on updated libraries

Is it still happening ? I don't reproduce the problem on either page.
Can you give me more details :

• What operating system ?
• Java version ?
• In the folder where WPCleaner is installed, it should generate a WPCleaner.log file : is there any error message around the end when the page is blocked ?

Hi @LD, I added a small remark to the review. Are you ok to include it ?

Hi @Froglegseternal, recently I had to replace how I deploy WPCleaner. It seems the files got deleted in the process. Can you try again ?

You're the first to ask for support of 2FA : I will have a look, but I don't know when (very little time to devote to WPCleaner).
I never tried bot password, but it may work as is (you create a bot password in Wikipedia and use it instead of your own password in WPCleaner)

Hi @Liu1126 , sorry for not answering sooner, I wasn't notified.

I don't know how I can fix that, this a problem at Java level with Telugu => closing

No answer, closing

Hi @2NumForIce , can you check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WPCleaner/FAQ ?

Hi @DavidMulder , thanks for the report.

Hello @Mastrocom, sorry for the long delay in answering.

I've configured a bit WPCleaner so that it should suggest other replacements for CW#81 on itwiki:

• I've created template groups so that the configuration for the main template will also work for its redirects
• I've configured some of templates/parameters you mentionned so that WPCleaner will use the parameter value to suggest a name for the ref

If you want to complete the configuration, do not hesitate. Do you see the new suggestions in WPCleaner for itwiki? Is it helpful?

So, do you know a few templates on itwiki where we can use some of their parameters to name the ref tag? On frwiki, I mainly used the citation templates with their title parameter. What should I use on itwiki?

I've added a parameter error_081_name_max_length_itwiki in the code that can be used to set a hint for the maximum length of the reference name.

For the parameter, it's already possible to have a priority between parameters : cite web|surname|publisher|title will first take surname parameter then publisher then title. But it's not as powerful as you wish, it just takes the parameter and applies it. For frwiki, I used this and automatically fixed all pages, and I got no negative feedback.
It can still be useful for itwiki, if you don't set error_081_automatic_title_itwiki to true, it will only be suggestions, not automatically applied. I can think of adding a max length for the parameter value.

Recently, I've done a complete refactoring of the code that handles CW#81, to fix a few issues and be able to automatically handle more situations. In the process, I've removed the Fix automatically feature that was asking a lot of questions...

Thanks @Verdy_p , it's supposed to be a verb, so I have changed it to Name the reference from template parameter

This is due to regular expressions in AutoWikiBrowser/Typos that are not optimized (typically, regular expressions beginning with look-behind) : only way to improve performance, is either to optimize the problematic regular expressions, or to disable them. But nothing to do on WPCleaner's side

It really seems to be a Java rendering problem, not really related to WPCleaner. I don't see what I can do on my side. The only thing I can suggest for the moment is that you try another font than Gautami to render Telugu text, maybe Noto Sans Telugu ? You need to download the family, extract the .ttf files from the zip and install them before being able to select them in WPCleaner (and restart)

@Chaduvari , so it seems to be a rendering problem.

@Chaduvari, at least, it's a good first step having the Gautami font used everywhere for you.

Hi @Chaduvari , I've just tried my last option, but I don't manage to make it work on my end. You can try yourself if you see any difference, but I doubt it will work...

I tried to make a new version that changes all the fonts with the other font specified in the options. Any change ?

Hi @rudrudu, I understood that you :

• Started WPCleaner
• Logged in tewiki
• Clicked on Project Check Wikipedia
• Selected some error numbers from checkwiki (given the log, it seems 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 15, 19, 23, 24, 25, 28, 32, 34, 36, 37, 39, 43, 49)
• Clicked on Load errors: it takes some time to retrieve the lists from check wiki, it's normal
• Clicked on Load pages: it takes also some time because some regular expressions defined in AutoWikiBrowser/Typos take a long time to be processed on the article

I tried something, can you see if it changes anything ?

With the configuration page, you can use WPCleaner on gom wiki, but it will be limited in features as it won't find checkwiki errors : you can edit pages, be warned about links to disambiguation pages... but not checkwiki errors.

I've added gom wiki to WPCleaner.

For me the only thing that didn't work last time I checked is the font. If I find the time to work on this problem, it will probably be on WPCleaner Next Generation, so not really soon. Please open a new issue for each of the problems that are still present for you.

WPCleaner should now be able to work on mniwiki. I haven't checked what it will look like in WPCleaner, but I'm not sure it will be easily usable, because Java may have some troubles with some alphabets. If you have a font installed on your computer that works with your language, you can try configure WPCleaner to use it.

Can you follow the steps described here ? A configuration page needs to be initialized on mniwiki, and it's specific to mniwiki it must be done by someone familiar with this wiki. Once this is done, I can add mniwiki to WPCleaner.
