User script to detect unreliable sources

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Idea to revive the project (partly)

I have noticed that this project has been defunct for quite a few years now. And I have an idea on how to partially revive this project.

We should convert this into a task force under WP:WV. Such as the “Huntington-Charleston Metro Valley Task Force”; its scope would be any West Virginia County that is within the Huntington-Charleston combined statistical area.

The Kentucky counties already fall under the Eastern Mountain coalfields task force.

I don’t know about what the Ohio counties should be under.

Will initially ping all of WP:West Virginia over here. May extend that to include WP:EKY in the coming hours and/or days; quite late at night where I am.
