Perle's categories

edit

I have a question if Category:Articles to check for link ordering and Category:Pearle edits needing manual cleanup are really neccessary? This bot is supposed to clean up the categories, but these two categories mess up the Wikipedia boots category. Is there something to do about it? Renata3 19:30, 22 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

I certainly do use them occasionally. I suppose they could be merged, though I do find it handy to have separate categories, because different problems get assigned to each. -- Beland 08:15, 22 August 2005 (UTC)Reply


Bug in category parsing

edit

The automatic category lister is not robust in the face of incorrect markup in articles. See e.g.

Category:1997_films]\n[[Category:Best_Actor_Oscar_Nominee_(film)

Somewhere, someone forgot to close a bracket...

I realize that Ms. Wisebot cannot anticipate all possible typos and brainos that may occur, but at a minimum, there should not be any double-square-brackets in the list.

(I discovered this trying to look for category links; the parser found the start of a link, and then stalled out a few hundred kB later...)

Crism 22:50, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

MediaWiki does not add articles to "Category:1997_films" when it sees something like the above messed-up syntax, so for most purposes, Pearle probably shouldn't, either. I do occasionally post a list of categories with questionble characters in the name to Category:Wikipedia categories in need of attention so they can be fixed. But what function or command were you using, or what were you trying to do, exactly? Perhaps your application requires different behavior. -- Beland 08:54, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I was harvesting Wikipedia data for use as a very large set of heavily-interlinked test data. That included parsing Wiki text for links, and the infinitely open link caused Perl some headaches. I ended up limiting the maximum length of a link to 1,024 characters, and Perl was much happier. crism 28 June 2005 23:56 (UTC)

What does this mean?

edit

I just saw a Pearle edit on my watchlist with the summary "Mostly null edit to actually remove from Category:\s*Article names with other uses". As advertised, it was a mostly null edit. What effect did it have? --Carnildo 1 July 2005 02:55 (UTC)

Such edits usually just tidy up category and interwiki links, to conform to the style noted at User:Pearle#New_category.2Finterwiki_style. Null and mostly-null edits are needed in a certain weird situation which has to do with a bug in the Mediawiki software. When an article uses a template that is in Category A, the article is also placed in Category A. But when the template is changed from Category A to Category B, the article doesn't move until the next time it's edited. Pearle is working on renaming categories, which involves moving all the articles from one category to another. When there are templates involves, she'll need to do null or mostly null edits to some articles after a human has changed the template over. -- Beland 3 July 2005 09:53 (UTC)

Faulty edit

edit

This edit involved removing the blank line between the cats and the interwikis; this is faulty, and should not be done even to stimulate category links table regeneration, as there is intended to be a blank line between them. Could you please modify your bot?

Thanks.

James F. (talk) 2 July 2005 10:50 (UTC)

Well, for several months now, I have been leaving one blank line between category links and body text, and no blank lines between category and interwiki links. I try to keep the number of blank lines in this area to a minimum because they cause extra whitespace in the finished product, which makes it easier to miss the fact that you haven't scrolled down to the very bottom of the page (and thus not see the category links there). -- Beland 3 July 2005 09:55 (UTC)


Moving categories

edit

QUOTE (from summary):

Moving from Category:Future_games to Category:Computer_and_video_games_in_production

Why is this being done?  Thorpe talk 22:30, 10 August 2005 (UTC) Reply

Because this move was listed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#To_be_emptied_or_moved, presumably after being approved by the WP:CFD process. There was a small glitch in Pearle's code that added the destination category without noticing that it is already added by the template, but that's since been fixed and the mess cleaned up. -- Beland 01:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
People are removing the new category from the article. Take WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 for example.  Thorpe talk 10:42, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup

edit

Goodjob with the cleanup... but, why are you moving stub notices to the bottom? As far as I know it goes:

stub

categories

interwiki

Thanks...gren グレン 16:20, 20 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Putting the stub category at the bottom is a convention of Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting#Stub_sorting_methods. It's done that way so the stub category is last in the list, so they don't obscure "real" categories for readers. -- Beland 19:57, 20 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
I didn't see what you were referring to on that page. Sometimes it is recommended that stubs go above meta templates... like, if Hilary Clinton were a stub, it would go above the template of "First Ladies of the United States" since that is not related directly to the article... with this method I don't see how you can do that and you obfuscate the stub notice. I figured it was meant to go first so that people would see it and fix it. Is this an accepted standard at wikipedia? Hmm... thanks. gren グレン 20:48, 20 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting says: "It is common practice to put the tag at the very bottom of the article." People requested that Pearle do this, so that's why she does. I can definitely see your point about why putting the stub notice above navigational templates might be a good idea. I don't know if there's a convention about how to deal with these situtations. Personally, I don't think it matters all that much. I mean, it should be obvious that the article is too short, anyway. I think the stub tags are probably most useful in that they help people who are looking to expand articles on a given topic to find some good candidates. It's also a good "yeah, we know this article is too short" for the benefit of readers, but it's not like an NPOV or accuracy dispute notice, where's it's rather important that they read it. It's also worth noting that the category links themselves also appear below navigational templates, but fixing that would require software changes on the Mediawiki server. -- Beland 03:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

correlation ratio

edit

What sort of cleanup did you have in mind for this article? Michael Hardy 20:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Pearle did not add the cleanup tag, only sorted by month, as the edit summary "Changing {{cleanup}} to {{cleanup-date|July 2005}}" indicates. It was originally added by an anonymous editor from 131.230.133.185. I assume they did so because this article is incomprehensible to anyone unfamiliar with advanced statistical notation. It could be repaired with a concrete example and an intuitive, rather than symbolic or mathematical explanation. A graph or two would also help a lot. -- Beland 01:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Minor

edit

Dear bot, I appreciate your hard work. However, could you possibly be so kind as to mark the small changes in category names as minor? This would prevent my watchlist from getting long and unreadable. Thanks in advance. Halibutt July 5, 2005 05:46 (UTC)

Hmm. It's hard to determine in advance whether a command-line option will be used to make a major or a minor change. -- Beland 22:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
Well, as far as articles are concerned, I suppose it's fair to say that category renaming is almost always, if not actually always, a minor matter. I'll mark changeCategory() operations as minor from now on. -- Beland 21:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

VfD

edit

Hi Pearle Wisebot, Could you please let your author know that as I've been going through Category:Articles to check for link ordering, I've noticed that you occasionally incorrectly tag pages that are marked with the VfD template, because that template includes a category? Could you ask your author to modify you to ignore the misplaced cateogry in the VfD template? Please let me know if this isn't clear. Thanks! -- Reinyday, 16:14, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

I've noticed that, too. Not a bad idea. I put in a patch; hopefully this won't happen in the future. -- Beland 18:49, 27 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

edit

In what way does the article need to be cleaned up.--Play Brian Moore 01:32, 28 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

I'm not entirely sure. Pearle did not add the cleanup tag; she only changed it to a date-specific one. An anonymous editor (18.60.3.22) added the cleanup tag on 27 August. I see User:Petaholmes had added the cleanup-importance tag on 14 August. I guess this team is notable because they've won an all-Ireland championship? If so, that should probably be mentioned first. I think the article could probably use a copyedit (though there may be some Irish English variations that look like errors to me) and maybe some tweaking to make it sound less like the evening sports report and more like an encyclopedia. Sometimes similar articles are supposed to have a similar format, so you might check other teams of the same type to see if there's a template or anything. -- Beland 01:18, 1 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Catch phrase

edit

Thanks for revising the tag on the page. Since I placed it there, I refactored much of the article. If you think the tag is no longer warranted, feel free to remove it. Many thanks. Paul Klenk 01:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

The page reads cleanly to me, so I changed the generic cleanup tag to {{unsourced}}, since references seem to be the only remaining problem. Thanks for your efforts, Beland 23:27, 10 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

From Category:Environment to Category:Environmentalism

edit

Many of the recent moves from Category:Environment to Category:Environmentalism are inapproraite, as the pages moved discuss an aspect of the environment, not political activism. Andy Mabbett 22:18, 4 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Indeed. The entirety of Category:Environment was approved for merger with the latter by WP:CFD, and Pearle was blindly implementing that decision. I have left a note at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#To_be_emptied_or_moved explaining the situation and linking to background information. The participants of that page will need to figure out what to do now; I'm sure your input on that would be helpful. Thanks, Beland 02:58, 5 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
I never had a chance to get involved in discussion on the move and I would have liked to since I do a lot of work on the category. The move has reulted in mant incorrect categorisations.

Sort key fix for Pearle's rename

I guess you mean [2]. Is this a request to sort articles of name X to "*" when they are in categories of the form "List of X"? -- Beland 20:20, 18 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Someone moved the page since my post above. That broke the diff link. Pearle had removed the sortkey ([3]), which sorted the article under R (or L) rather than at the beginning of the category where it used to be. -- User:Docu

Oh, you're right. It was easy to find the regexps responsible; I have fixed them so they preserve leading (and all other) whitespace in sortkeys now. Thanks for catching that. -- Beland 02:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup tags

Hi Pearle,

Should I do as you did, and add a date to the cleanup tags I add, since I probably will add more (because I'm going through all of WP's articles to find flukes and discrepancies or articles that need re-working). Lincher 19:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

You may do so if you like, or not. Pearle is a computer program, and will automatically add the date based on when you added the tag (just so we can have the many thousands of articles tagged for cleanup sorted by month) if you don't choose to do so. Thanks, Beland 02:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

The problem was that someone inappropriately used subst: for {{unreferenced}}, which inserted a Category: link at the top of the page, where it does not belong. It is common practice for these templates to be at the top of the page, where they are most visible. I replaced the result of the subst: with the template itself. -- Beland 18:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You changed the wikify tag I had on this article to wikify-date. I was going to put a wikify-date tag on there, but only one section of the article needs to be wikified -- a regular wikify tag says "article or section" but wikify-date just says "article", which is incorrect in this case. What is the correct thing to do? Is there a special wikify tag that I could put in the article that I don't know about? Should the wikify-date template be changed to that it would include article sections as well? Or make an entirely new template? EdGl 15:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ah...it's really an automatic re-filing. I changed the wikify-date template to say "article or section"; having a separate tag just for sections that need to be wikified seems a bit much, when you can just indiciate this by where you place it. -- Beland 18:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

There were no categories or interwiki links on the page but the AfD category (and two transcluded from cleanup tags and so not written on the page).

That's not actually possible with the current version of Mediawiki, without using subst:. The template page asks people not to do that (which is good). In fact, there are still articles being added to the unsorted category, so Pearle is still needed. -- Beland 04:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Clean Up Tag

edit

Hello Pearle, I was just wondering if you could please elaborate on why you tagged my Nakamura article as requiring cleanup, considering the fact that it holds information of proportions that are similiar to most of my articles.

Farewell, Darin Fidika

User:Pearle is actually a computer program that merely refiles cleanup requests by month. The cleanup tag was first added by User:CPAScott.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
