AWB debug versions

Debug version give the following message "don't use a debug build if you want to save blank pages". So, it it not a bug not to be able to save blank pages. Same for newly created pages. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:03, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

@Magioladitis: I have never encountered this message before. Where is it displayed? --Meno25 (talk) 13:53, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Check the bug you reported. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:14, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: I can see it now. Thank you. --Meno25 (talk) 15:16, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
No problem. I have another question: When you mark an error as "11/2013", have you checked it manually too or is it solely bot edits? -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:49, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: It is solely bot edits. We can differentiate between errors checked solely by bots and those checked both manually and by bots if you wish. --Meno25 (talk) 16:00, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Yes. We mark as "bot" if there are solely bot edits and "11/2013" if there were manually checked. This is mainly for those errors AWB won't fix 100%. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: Lesson learned. I marked the errors I fixed as "bot". Cheers. --Meno25 (talk) 16:22, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you for helping out Meno. It gets to be an overwhelming job. This is especially helpful right now with Magioladitis having to cut back.
  • I need to mark on the page what errors can only be done manually, so we don't waste time running a bot on them. #8, #26, #34, #38, #40, #58 and #69 are examples. Some, like #8 or #34, just can't be done by a bot. Others, like #26 or #38, can be done by a bot, but the bot can cause damage in certain circumstances. Bgwhite (talk) 19:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
@Bgwhite: Your kind words are much appreciated. I am really happy to cooperate with both you and Magio. I support your idea about reorganizing the AWB and Checkwiki page. This will save us a lot of time indeed. --Meno25 (talk) 19:37, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Bug report

The page TMED (disambiguation) was wrongly tagged as an orphan. It has links to articles, not from them. Petergans (talk) 08:24, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

@Petergans: The tagging is correct. According to WP:Orphan "An article is orphaned if no other articles link to it" which is the case as can be seen from Special:WhatLinksHere/TMED_(disambiguation). This page is a disambiguation page but the bot didn't recognize it as such because there was no disambiguation template on the page. I removed the orphan template from the page and added {{disambig}}. --Meno25 (talk) 08:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

look at an article

Could you take a look at Qusay Tariq. I've tried cleaning up the unreferenced stuff and remove refs written by him. But, it is still a mess and I don't if he is notable. Only refs I find are written by him or are social media. Bgwhite (talk) 10:20, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

@Bgwhite: Should be deleted. I nominated it for deletion here and on Arabic Wikipedia. --Meno25 (talk) 15:43, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

{{twelvers}} template and Tabarie

An IP editor on my talk page pointed out that the Tabarie link in the {{Twelvers}} template is redirected wrong. It points to Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari. As al-Tabari is Sunni and Twelver is a branch of Shi'a, this doesn't seem right. You are probably Sunni or Christian, but you still would know more than me or who to ask. Bgwhite (talk) 23:07, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

@Bgwhite: I am not an expert on this subject. However, al-Tabari is indeed categorized as Sunni on Arabic Wikipedia. Anyway, I asked an expert on Islamic history on Arabic Wikipedia about this issue and I am waiting for his answer. I will update the template accordingly. --Meno25 (talk) 05:07, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
@Bgwhite: There are two imams named Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari:
  1. The full name of the first one: (Arabic: أبو جعفر محمد بن جرير بن يزيد الطبري الآملي) He was Sunni.
  2. The full name of the second one: (Arabic: محمد بن جرير بن رستم أبو جعفر الطبري) He was Shia.
Since Wikipedia's article is on the first one, I will remove the link in the template to the article. --Meno25 (talk) 12:48, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
@Bgwhite: Also note that some sources list the first imam as Shia. However, the majority of sources list him as Sunni. --Meno25 (talk) 12:53, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Article is non-compliant

Please see here. Thank you, and happy editing! - I'm not that crazy (talk) 13:19, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

@I'm not that crazy: I created the page as a redirect. The actual creator of the article is User:Shujenchang. --Meno25 (talk) 15:20, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
