At least for frWP, it seems the step "Recombine articles, templates, media/file descriptions, and primary meta-pages." doesn't start even if the step "Articles, templates, media/file descriptions, and primary meta-pages" is done for more than 20 hours. See https://dumps.wikimedia.org/frwiki/20201220/

They seem done to me.

Note that the servers running everything else but enwiki have the old version of the utils so they wil work just as they always have.

Yes, I understand that typo list pages can only be changed once a new AWB release has been rolled out (and probably after some time to be sure users have upgraded). That's why I'm pushing to include this patch, so that it won't be too long before modifications can be made in the typo list pages. At least, once I know this patch will be included, I can also start modifying WPCleaner to take advantage of this, even before we can add the new attributes to the typo list.

I just pushed a new version that should remove the bot flag for the edits on the main talk page. I can't test it properly on frWP, can you tell me if it works on csWP ?

Ok, thanks for the example, I will see to remove the bot flag for the edit on the main talk page.

I modified WPCleaner a few months ago to remove the bot flag when adding warnings on talk pages (or subpages), to have a better chance of article authors noticing the warning. What better way do you think of?

Hello @Rjwilmsi (or other AWB developer?): what is the process to submit patches?

Thanks @ArielGlenn , I could download the dump analysis for frWP

The volume in the above mentioned edit filter (T56947#2098243) would be a good metric for success. It might be useful to have it on more high volume wikis.

Note that the filter only catches changes to dates (which is a good way to avoid false positives, but it avoids the vast majority of true positives too). So it's a good way of measuring whether problematic edits become less frequent, but not a good way of measuring how frequent they are, in an absolute sense.

Done.

Done as part of the builder for internal links (see T257141).

Dump analysis done, and automatic fixing tested.

The switch to Java 8 is done, other improvements (using Optional<>, using Nullable and Nonnnull annotations, streams, lambda...) will be done in other tasks.

First version done. I will run a dump analysis and see what can be fixed automatically.

Done. Each error can be in its own package: for example, for error #501, package will be api.check.algorithm.5xx.50x.501.

Done.

First version.

Done.

If needed, a few more recent edits:

Second step, block by default, but allow specifying a command line parameter to allow Java 7.

@ppelberg and @matmarex
Is the Parsoid fix supposed to handle also this kind of edits? Because it was done on Septembre 30th, 2 weeks after Parsoid fix has been deployed, and there are still many "link=" added by VE (but to new images). My bot fixed it for the pass on the October 1st dump.

Code modified to avoid automatic replacements when some tags are involved.

@ppelberg Seems ok to me

I already ran my bot twice this month, but one thing that can also partly explain the difference is that in August, I ran it very late (like 30th of August instead of 22nd or 23rd), so it fixed some that would usually be fixed in the beginning of the next month.

The same problem occurs in ruWP. https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Надписи_из_деревьев&diff=next&oldid=108444834 Our bot periodically cleans it up.

May I ask which bot and how often it runs? Checking its contributions would be a good way to confirm whether this issue has been fixed by the Parsoid changes.

@Pginer-WMF and @Jpita
Reopening the task, as an example has been provided.

Done.

First step, warning.

You usually have online help available on each wiki, for example on the English wikipedia : Help Contents, Help:Introduction. Editing is supposed to be relatively easy.

What's the relation with WPCleaner ? If an article on wiki needs to be modified, you can modify it directly.

If you want more examples of errors missed by Linter, you can compare on frwiki between what Linter finds and what WPCleaner finds.

@ssastry
Thanks for the answers. WPCleaner can already detect the {{ISBN}} template in external link, and can fix some instances (where the {{ISBN}} is near the end of the external link I think). More complex cases are difficult to fix automatically...
Example of automatic fixes: Raymond Nart, Samuel Jacob Rubinstein

It's fixed and it will be in the next release.

Request for approval for automatic fixing on enwiki.

I'm currently testing automatic fixing of some cases on frwiki :

Warning added.

@Bakertheacre
I've modified WPCleaner to use a configurable list of allowed prefixes.
I've done an initial configuration, feel free to add other prefixes.

Many false positives, need to find ways to ignore them: list of possible prefixes, #REDIRECT...

Putting this task aside, as the amount of configuration to do to ignore places where external links are ok is huge.
If someone is interested in this detection, please reopen the task explaining how you would use it.
