::: [https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php "Advanced Search returning JSON, XML, and more"], enter the ID in the search field (BritishNuclearTestOperationHurricaneDeclassifiedReportsToWinston), choose "mediatype" in the fields to return box, choose a format (JSON etc): [https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=BritishNuclearTestOperationHurricaneDeclassifiedReportsToWinston&fl%5B%5D=mediatype&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&rows=50&page=1&output=json&callback=callback&save=yes return]. This work is unusual because it is a multi-file so it gives a media type for each one (all the same: "texts") but there may be cases where it is mixed (texts and audio). A more typical book eg.

== more details needed on "! CrossRef title did not match existing title" ==

Hello Martin. Thanks for this amazing power tool, which makes life so much easier!

I wonder if you might add details to the debug messages for "! CrossRef title did not match existing title", which cropped up thrice today on [[Mefloquine]]. I suspect that the existing title was an all-caps version of the correctly capitalised title, however, it is not immediately apparent to the casual user. It would be nice if you added a printout of the prior title and the new title, so that users might compare the two on the debug-screen page and, if necessary, act to remedy the inconsistencies.

I doubt that this link will show you what I mean because it is likely to vaporise, but here goes: [https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/process_page.php?slow=on&edit=on&page=Mefloquine&cat= Mefloquine title did not match]

Dear Programmer. Nice tool. I tried your bot on the page Antoine Hamilton. I verified the doi very well. However, it also replaced all the '|publication-place=' parameters in the citation template to '|location=' parameters. My understanding was that publication-place is now old and should be replaced by publication-place. Finally it said it could not find the isbn 9780198613741, which is however the 13-digit version of the isbn 0-19-861374-1 marked in the book.

:::::::In general, in my opinion policies and guidelines contain two ''signs'' that the removal of URL redundant with DOI is desirable. 
::::::::#The very fact that there is consensus on adding a parameter for a certain identifier in {{tl|cite journal}} or others proves that there is a desire to have that identifier presented in a structured way (see [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_87#Citation_templates_now_support_more_identifiers|Citation templates now support more identifiers]], 2011). It follows logically that there is a <u>desire for the identifier information/link to be moved to the structured parameter</u> rather than left lingering in N other ways it can be inserted (the {{para|id}} and {{para|url}} parameter, free text after the citation template, other templates after the citation templates etc. etc.). Nobody ever complained of people removing links to PubMed or CiteSeerX to use the corresponding identifier parameters instead, after they were introduced: it was the logical expectation. The same for the DOI, especially when doi-access was introduced to give more granular information about it and its target.
::::::::#At [[Help:Citation Style 1#Online sources]] elsewhere you can see that the <u>URL parameter is generally expected to point to a full text</u> of the cited document, open for everyone to see. So strong is the assumption, that in a few places you find a note that yes, a paywalled URL is ''acceptable'' if necessary for verifiability: it's clearly considered an exception, because nowhere you will find a general statement that paywalled and commercial copies are preferred over the others. (Such notes were added relatively late in the life cycle of the citation guidelines, around 2009; see also [[Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources/Archive_29#how_to_cite_if_most_users_need_different_links_for_access|2010]], [[Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources/Archive_29#how_to_cite_if_most_users_need_different_links_for_access|2011]], [[Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources/Archive_37#Free_open_access_versions_of_journal_articles_behind_a_paywall|2014]] discussions.) The official publisher URL (to which the DOI leads when resolved with doi.org) is generally paywalled so it would by default not be the ideal content of an URL parameter even if the DOI parameter didn't exist.
::::::::[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 09:09, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

:As I was pointed here after I had reverted a "Dup URL" edit, I think if there is consensus, then another change should be made to the templates particularly cite journal that both doi= and url= should not be present, that doi= takes precedence and should automagically populate the URL field with the correct DOI URL, and that this can be flagged in red text in the reflist as other errors. you can still have the bot go around cleaning it up, too, but this helps users to clean it faster (those red errors are easy to spot). I do note that even for paywalled URLs, you still get that the cited journal article exists, its abstract, and sufficient citation deals to meet [[WP:V]], but ideally the DOI URL should get you there too. --[[User:Masem|M<span style="font-variant: small-caps">asem</span>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 17:26, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

My concern is essentially the same one I'm quoting (and as Masem alludes). I have no strong opinion on removing {{para|url}} when a total duplicate for the {{para|doi}} but from my experience watching people use Wikipedia, when the citation's title is unlinked, readers with no knowledge of DOIs aren't going to click through the links unless they're interested in figuring out what a DOI is (same for ISSNs, ISBNs, and similar identifiers). Maybe that makes this more of a CS1 discussion now? There is also a separate discussion to be had re: the edit I first cited above, which removed a {{para|url}} that linked to the full text but no {{para|doi-access|free}} was replaced in its stead. <span style="background:#F3F3F3; padding:3px 9px 4px">[[User talk:Czar|<span style='font:bold small-caps 1.2em sans-serif;color:#871E8D'>czar</span>]]</span> 21:47, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

:I have seen cases of ''co''-publishers, but that is not the case here. Looking at the edit QG links to, it appears to me that the essential problem is citing the "Surgeon General of the United States" as the publisher. It is quite unlikely that the Surgeon General has personally ''published'' that item. (I can conceive of the ''office'' "of the Surgeon General" doing so, but unlikely.) Someone should take a closer look at the source to sort out who the (possibly "corporate" or institutional) author is, and who actually managed the publication. At any rate, this case does not warrant citing multiple publishers when the real issue is ''who'' is the (singular) publisher. And certainly does not warrant multiple publisher parameters. &diams;&nbsp;[[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson&nbsp;(JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 23:55, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

:::"Report of the SG" is ambiguous as to authorship (responsibility), publisher, etc. You want the "best way to add" something, where I would say it is not clear as to exactly what should be added. (And unless the document says "co-published" I rather doubt that is the case.) What you need to do is examine the document closely, perhaps with the help of a medical librarian.

This statement on that page “This is followed by the original URL which helps protect against malicious code that is hiding an inappropriate link, such as spam.” is blatantly wrong.

[[User:AManWithNoPlan|AManWithNoPlan]] ([[User talk:AManWithNoPlan|talk]]) 00:51, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

:No. The reason we do this is to avoid malicious URLs from getting past Wikipedia edit list filters during page-save. This is done per an RfC as a solution to the WikiCite problem since web shortening is otherwise disallowed on Wikipedia because it avoids the edit filters.

::::: Yes. When people inject a false ?url=http:// into the WebCite URL it will get caught eventually. I run into them and its always a clever way to avoid a blacklist filter. Not super common but they do exist. Or they don't have a ?url=http:// at all, in which case the bot will try to add it (based on data from the WebCite API not the {{para|url}} field) and the bot gets blocked on page save due to the blacklist filter which is a flag of this problem. -- [[User:GreenC|<span style="color: #006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User talk:GreenC|<span style="color: #093;">'''C'''</span>]] 14:45, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

{{bot bug

| reported by = [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 05:44, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
| what happens = bot removed {{para|access-date}} from citation because "there was no url"; in this particular case, there was a {{para|url}} provided, but the citation template syntax was malformed (the template was missing a [[:vertical bar]]) and this what was causing the error. Not sure if this is a bug, but it might be worth seeing if the bot could be set up to recognize/fix this error instead.

== A question on removal of my edits ==

You removed my edits from [[Proximity space]] with the log message "Removing self promotion".

Please explain which Wikipedia policy (the page and the exact quote, please) strictly disallows self-promotion.

I do realize that self-promotion should be restricted, but I see no rule in Wikipedia policy that would completely disallow it and thus would justify your removal.

If you don't explain it soon and do not restore it back, I will dispute it with the Wikipedia authorities.

== Category/batch whitelist ==

{{see also|User_talk:Citation_bot/Archive_17#Better_batch/queuing_handling}}

Category/batch runs are being abused. Possibilities on dealing with this are:
*a) a whitelist of people allowed to ask for unlimited category/batch runs
**This could just be something like extended confirmed.

*** That is not what the permission is for. Please do not attach things to random permissions. --[[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 13:25, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
*b) a whitelist for limited category/batch runs (say ~250 pages at once, tops)
**This could just be something like autoconfirmed/confirmed.
*c) a way to kill inappropriate category/batch runs

And have category/batch runs disabled/greatly limited (~25 articles) for non-confirmed/whitelisted users. &#32;<span style="font-variant:small-caps; whitespace:nowrap;">[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] {[[User talk:Headbomb|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|c]] · [[WP:PHYS|p]] · [[WP:WBOOKS|b]]}</span> 17:48, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

: A/B may also prevent sock puppets and "suspicious" new users that may intend to use the bot in ways that are undesired from doing so. Users without edits or very few edits might not check their edits or won't see possible mistakes by the bot and as such won't report them. Proposal B seems like a good one to go forward with in any case in my opinion. For proposal C it might good to define who could use that option, only maintainers and the operator or also some "trusted" users + we would also need to define what is considered inappropriate. For option A it might also be an idea to let extended confirmed up to 1000 pages, and then have a further whitelist of users who can do unlimited runs ie bureaucrats,administrators and "normal" users who have proven to understand of what the bot does, the impact of extremely large runs (ie don't run during high usage times) and possibly are also actively reporting bugs and joining in discussion here. Just a few things to think about. -[[User:Redalert2fan|Redalert2fan]] ([[User talk:Redalert2fan|talk]]) 20:05, 16 August 2019 (UTC)


The bot has been effectively disabled for the last week or so due to [[User:Chris Capoccia|Chris Capoccia]]'s insanely large-category requests (e.g. [[:Category:Pages with citations having bare URLs]]) that hog all the resources.

== Publisher vs newspaper ==

https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rajiva_Wijesinha&diff=920872034&oldid=917626120

As part of that same edit, Citation bot removed wikimarkup from {{para|publisher}}.  If that is all that the bot is doing, please stop.  For example, this template has wiki markup in {{para|publisher}}:
:<code><nowiki>{{cite news| author = Hiran H. Senewiratne| title = SCOPP to close down| publisher = ''Daily News Online''| date = 25 July 2009| url = http://www.dailynews.lk/2009/07/25/news33.asp| accessdate = 13 March 2010| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100130201226/http://www.dailynews.lk/2009/07/25/news33.asp| archive-date = 30 January 2010| url-status = dead| df = dmy-all}}</nowiki></code>
''[[Daily News (Sri Lanka)|Daily News]]'' is a newspaper so it's online presence should be treated as such.  'Fixing' the wiki markup error by the simple expedient of stripping the markup without also ensuring that the parameters in the template are used correctly only masks the underlying problem: newspaper name in {{para|publisher}}.  The other wiki markup fixes are probably correct but Citation bot should not just strip markup as it appears that it does.

: http and https is irrelevant.  Right now, each and every URL path is specific.  I should change it to be hosts and paths separate.  Hosts is probably enough, unless you find a new file path beyond the usual suspects. Please verify each host actually works though;  http://oasis.postech.ac.kr/handle/2014.oak/9965 is not a handle 🙄. [[User:AManWithNoPlan|AManWithNoPlan]] ([[User talk:AManWithNoPlan|talk]]) 13:45, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

{{Re|AManWithNoPlan}}, well, I'm building a massive list with the help of others (e.g. [https://tools.wmflabs.org/betacommand-dev/reports/en_sbl_hits.log]), so I want to know what's the most useful format. Right now, if I have something like
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/bitstream/handle/1920/1595/483_15_01.pdf
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/dspace/handle/1920/2931

*http://digilib.gmu.edu/dspace/handle/1920/2933
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/handle/1920/505 
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/handle/1920/525 
I'll eliminate things that only differ after the /handle/ part, and have something like
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/bitstream/handle/1920/1595/483_15_01.pdf
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/dspace/handle/1920/2931
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/handle/1920/505 
and currently have 2169 such paths. Which I could reduce to (after checking that they indeed work inside a {{tl|hdl}})
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/bitstream/handle/...
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/dspace/handle/...
*http://digilib.gmu.edu/handle/...
But I was wondering if there was a way to trim that down further to something more manageable/less redundant. &#32;<span style="font-variant:small-caps; whitespace:nowrap;">[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] {[[User talk:Headbomb|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|c]] · [[WP:PHYS|p]] · [[WP:WBOOKS|b]]}</span> 17:05, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

While is is true that some of them probably do not have all these possibilities, I doudt that we would run into a case where http://digilib.gmu.edu/dspace/handle/ works, but http://digilib.gmu.edu/bitstream/handle/ is not a handle but some thing else.  So, what I need are three lists:
#  Protocol: http and https (short list)
#  Host names (HUGE list)
#  Suffix list (/handle/, /bitstream/handle/, ....) (medium sized list).

The code can then accept and convert any combination.

== Hyphens and dashes and accents ==

I notice lots of edits like [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_fellows_of_the_Royal_Society_elected_in_1975&diff=689404709&oldid=689402099 this one assisted by Citation bot] have created date ranges in titles (e.g. title=Arthur Erdelyi. 2 October 1908-12 December 1977) with unspaced hyphens where the source has a spaced hyphen and Wikipedia style would be to use a spaced en dash.  If this hasn't been fixed in recent years, maybe we can work on it.  I have no idea what it takes, but will help as I can; I've been fixing a ton of these by hand.  That particular example also dropped the accent from Erdélyi; is that expected? [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 03:20, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
