OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Municipalities and cities of Serbia.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any .

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

Userpage of blocked sockpuppet remains untagged

Hello Vanja; I hope you are doing well. Can you please tag the userpage of the indefinitely blocked sockpuppet Lumbarschen, per WP:SOCKTAG? It appears both you and EdJohnston – whom I also notified (here) prior to the archiving of the case (diff) – forgot it. Thanks in advance for your time. Demetrios1993 (talk) 01:45, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@Demetrios1993: Tagging is not always needed per WP:DENY. Why do you think it is necessary in this particular case? Vanjagenije (talk) 23:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the response Vanja. I don't know if you have an older revision of WP:DENY in mind (I didn't check earlier ones), but the only relevant text I see is the following:

• In general, "socktags" on blocked sockpuppets' user pages should only be added, removed, or modified by administrators or sockpuppet investigations clerks.

The relevant template {{sockpuppet}} gives the same reasonable guideline:

• Usage: In general, this template should only be applied by Administrators or Clerks as part of the Sockpuppet investigations process.

Regardless of that, even if the former did suggest cases which would deem the use of the aforementioned template unnecessary, shouldn't the common established procedures presented in WP:SPI/AI take precedence over an essay such as WP:DENY? To be honest, I thought it was a given to tag the userpages of indefinitely blocked sockpuppets, which also adds them to the – certainly useful for future investigations – "confirmed" and "suspected" categories.

On another note, shouldn't the remaining text from the already closed and archived 17 September 2024 case in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GJOLEKA, be either deleted or archived appropriately? It appears that it was unnecessarily copied from the Wikipedia talk namespace to the Wikipedia namespace (diff).

Thanks again for your time. Demetrios1993 (talk) 19:54, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Template:Troitskaya line RDT

With the creation of the disambiguation page Novomoskovskaya (Moscow Metro) you have created a link to a disambiguation page in Template:Troitskaya line RDT. For some strange reason I am unable to point that link to the correct article. Are you able to fix that issue? The Banner talk 11:03, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@The Banner: I don't know how to fix it. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:02, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I have applied a poor men's solution in the hope an export will come along. The Banner talk 01:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

ooh didn't know that existed @AirshipJungleman29. Consider it granted from me too @Vanjagenije. The work you and Izno did these last few days was much appreciated Star Mississippi 02:23, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Wagner swat

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wagner swat‎‎ was requested to merge to another SPI. You just merged it in place. - UtherSRG (talk) 22:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@UtherSRG: I archived the closed investigation, I didn't "merge" anything. I see it was not necessary as tho whole case needs to be merged anyway. The merge has still not been done. What exactly is the problem? Vanjagenije (talk) 22:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I misspoke. I meant "archived in place". I thought the merger would happen first, then the archive. Am I wrong on the process? - UtherSRG (talk) 23:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. But, some previous investigations were already archived before my archival. So, the archive needs to be merged too anyway. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:41, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Ah! Fair enough. :) - UtherSRG (talk) 10:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
