[edit]

Operator: NicoV (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)

Time filed: 08:49, Saturday, June 15, 2019 (UTC)

Function overview: Fix some WP:WCW errors using WPCleaner

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Java (WPCleaner)

Source code available: On GitHub

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PkbwcgsBot

Edit period(s): Twice a month, with the dump analysis that I already perform, see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/WikiCleanerBot.

Estimated number of pages affected: A few thousand articles for the initial runs spread over a few sessions, then normally only a few dozen or hundreds each time.

Namespace(s): Main

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: As PkbwcgsBot hasn't been run for several months, I'd like to take over some of the tasks that Pkbwcgs was performing with WPCleaner. This request is a part of Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PkbwcgsBot. It includes automatically fixing part of some WP:WCW errors:

  • CW Error #2: tags with incorrect syntax. The list of articles that the bot will check comes from CheckWiki list #2 (currently 617 articles) and from Wikipedia:CHECKWIKI/WPC 002 dump (currently 725 articles): only some articles will be fixed, only the simple ones (like false </br> tags).
  • CW Error #16: unicode control characters. The list of articles that the bot will check comes from CheckWiki list #16 (currently 2508 articles): only some articles will be fixed, only the simple ones.
  • CW Error #17: category duplication. The list of articles that the bot will check comes from CheckWiki list #17 (currently 6328 articles) and from Wikipedia:CHECKWIKI/WPC 017 dump (currently 8449 articles): only some articles will be fixed, only the simple ones (like exact category duplication with same sort key). For example, on the first 100 articles in Wikipedia:CHECKWIKI/WPC 017 dump, 70 are modified.
  • CW Error #85: tags without content. The list of articles that the bot will check comes from CheckWiki list #85 (currently 831 articles): only some articles will be fixed, only the simple ones.
  • CW Error #88: DEFAULTSORT with a blank at first position. The list of articles that the bot will check comes from CheckWiki list #88 (currently 349 articles): only some articles will be fixed, only the simple ones.
  • CW Error #90: internal link written as an external link. The list of articles that the bot will check comes from CheckWiki list #90 (currently 5715 articles): only some articles will be fixed, only the simple ones.
  • CW Error #91: interwiki link written as an external link. The list of articles that the bot will check comes from CheckWiki list #91 (currently 2100 articles): only some articles will be fixed, only the simple ones.

@NicoV: Approved for extended trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. 20 edits each for CW Error #85 and CW Error #91. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:07, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Headbomb. Here are the results:
Trial complete. --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 20:48, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@NicoV: This would be much better than this. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:01, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Headbomb: I can also remove the carriage return if the empty tag was on the first line, and alone in the line, if you want. For other cases (not on the first line), there may be side effects with removing the carriage return. What do you say? --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 21:22, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Should be for otherwise empty lines only. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:34, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Headbomb: The problem is that it will change the display in some situations, see below. --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 22:53, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Headbomb: I've modified WPC to remove extra white lines (if there are 2 or more, or if they are the beginning or the end of the article). Result on the same article that you reported. --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 19:32, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Example: 

Line 1 before noinclude tag
<noinclude></noinclude>
Line 2 after noinclude tag

Before removal of the empty tag:

Line 1 before noinclude tag

Line 2 after noinclude tag

After removal of the empty tag (keeping the empty line): same display

Line 1 before noinclude tag

Line 2 after noinclude tag

After removal of the empty tag (removing the empty line): modified display

Line 1 before noinclude tag Line 2 after noinclude tag

Approved for extended trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. 20 edits to see if that case is handled correctly in, and results in oddities otherwise. Have a mix of that case and others in the trial if possible. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:10, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. CW Error #85 is technically cosmetic in many cases, but I feel it's editor-hostile enough to deal with it through a bot. Ping me if there's pushback on that task. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:12, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
