== Zagreb Cathedral == |
|||
Hello, my name is Mateo, and I am making a complete improved page with images and additional information for Zagreb's Cathedral as I am from Zagreb and I am studying about Croatian History and Culture, therefore Zagreb Cathedral needed to be updated for new standards. I got a notification about some DPL bots (I think) and I fixed everything (again, I think I did). Can you make sure that I didn't leave anything behind and even if I did, would you be able to fix that? |
|||
Also I have been updating and researching and googling and making this page for 27 hours, I don't want it to be deleted, so if there's anything you can help me with NOT getting it removed or deleted, please help. Thanks [[User:Mateo radovan|SatelitteChange]] 13:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC) |

== Bot question == |
|||
Where does the {{u|DPL bot}} get its list of disambiguation pages from? Does the list lag behind? I changed [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Inuktut&diff=1229604657&oldid=1181206748 Inuktut] from a disambiguation to an article. Two hours later the bot notified me. Anyway the bot is still doing good work and I still appreciate the notifications [[User:CambridgeBayWeather|CambridgeBayWeather]] (solidly non-human), [[User talk:CambridgeBayWeather|Uqaqtuq (talk)]], [[Special:Contributions/CambridgeBayWeather|Huliva]] 21:06, 17 June 2024 (UTC) |

Add dplbot maintainer
[edit]Despite two uniform applied and different themes people are still confusing DPLbot with my tools, reporting connectivity problems to me. Can't beat'em? Join them. So this is my request to become a maintainer and receive access to webservice start
(and adding that mobile one-liner...). — Dispenser 00:43, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, I thought I had already replied to this. I'm fine with making you a maintainer, I'll set it up when I get a chance. --JaGatalk 01:43, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- @R'n'B: Would you mind adding me to dplbot's maintainers? — Dispenser 17:12, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Dispenser: Done - now, by any chance do you think you could resolve the issue that is preventing the bot's PHP scripts from logging in to Wikipedia? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:36, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
- Its using the SxWiki that hasn't been updated in 4 years. Looking at m:Special:ApiFeatureUsage I see
login-params-in-query-string
which was deprecated around October. — Dispenser 20:07, 9 March 2017 (UTC)- That doesn't surprise me. I don't know enough PHP to fix it myself. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 20:21, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
- I rewrote the login function with my limited PHP, seems to be working. — Dispenser 22:10, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Refining the email message -DPL bot and her friends
[edit]DABSolver and her friends: Firstly a thank you for an excellent tool, a great time saver. Now a suggestion for an extra tweak. On Thunderbird I get sent a message
DPL bot left a message on your talk page in "Disambiguation link notific...". Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joan Bakewell, you added a link pointi...
The rest of the message has been truncated- and a link click sends me to another tab in the browser. I really want to see the meat in the email. The text is obviously truncated on length so could the message be reversed so the important bit is shown. I would remove the "Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that" , and put it a message footer. If this is an attempt to be nice to newbies fine- look at the editcount and keep the existing message for those with less than 100 edits.
Another wasted opportunity is the message title
- DPL bot left you a message on Wikipedia
could be changed to
- DPL bot left you a message on Wikipedia:Re Joan Bakewell
All this is about prioritising my time- some dabs require immediate attention while other can be enjoyed over a cup of coffee.-- Clem Rutter (talk) 11:38, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- I used to have a less wordy intro, but was asked to make it more "friendly" by the former Wikipedia CEO, I forget her name, she's gone now. Basically her angle was "I worked so hard on an article, and now this bot is browbeating me, you need to make it nicer", so I niced it up. I would prefer a more direct message as well, but I think it's best not to ruffle feathers when possible. You're the second person to suggest a shorter message for experienced editors, though, an idea which has merit. I'm so busy these days I've no idea when I could get started setting it up, but I'll try to get around to it at some point. Thanks! --JaGatalk 01:40, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I too very much appreciate to receive those DPL bot messages, but I agree with the OP, these long-winded messages are so much sugar-coated to be friendly, that they can be annoying.
- Examples? "Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help." This may be great approaching newbies, but experienced editors usually know what they are doing, they don't help out, but contribute and manage and make things work (and sometimes they make mistakes), and while they appreciate feedback on their work as well, they don't want to be thanked by some automated process which cannot even evaluate the value of one's contribution - actually, being treated like a kid belittles their work. Also, experienced editors are at the very heart of Wikipedia, so receiving messages as if they were outsiders ("Wikipedia appreciates", "We noticed"), and even by a bot, is like a slap in their face. "We noticed though that when you edited xyz, you added a link pointing ..." Sounds as if someone committed a crime. "It's OK to remove this message". Definitely meant to be informative and super-friendly, but whenever I read it I am in fact somewhat annoyed as I certainly don't need someone else's permission to delete stuff from my talk page. ;-) I hope these examples illustrate the point.
- What I would find more useful (and appropriate in a collaborative project) is a short notice in list style of the links that need to be reviewed without much ado. Something like: "DPL bot found the following links pointing to DAB pages in articles recently edited by you - if you find the time, please recheck them to be correct. Thanks. List:"
- As the bot scans a user's talk page for opt-out info anyway, wouldn't it be possible for it to look for another kind of hidden token telling him to choose a short notice instead of the long and over-friendly default notice? So, experienced editors could opt-in to this short notice, while other users still receive the default message?
- Greetings. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:58, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
What if the DabLink really is what I want?
[edit]When I was editing the Glasgow Coma Scale article, there were a few references to Supraorbital, but it was unclear which real article was intended, and the disambiguation page sufficiently defined the word, so I intentionally linked to it, I suppose hoping that an expert on the topic could finalize the link. How can I call up an expert to correct the link or flag it as correct as it stands??
Thanks, WesT (talk) 18:56, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- It seems like the definition would be best in this case. I would link to the Wiktionary definition: Supraorbital. --JaGatalk 01:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Over on the commons
[edit]Hello JaGa, did you notice the message I left you over on Commons? --Midas02 (talk) 07:55, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, no, I hadn't. Thanks for the ping. I don't know what his Toolserver account was named, but there's no Bryan or Bryanbot project or user on the new Tool Labs. I would try asking the same question at WP:BOTREQUEST to see if it's possible to recover an abandoned bot. It might be possible, depending on the permissions the user set on his account - and assuming old Toolserver accounts are backed up somewhere. --JaGatalk 15:05, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- I believe User:Silke WMDE deleted the backups (to save <$500? :-( ). — Dispenser 16:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks both for chipping in. I've logged a message, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on it as well. I'm not into the whole bot thing. Thanks, --Midas02 (talk) 21:50, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Nice bot re disambiguation pointer
[edit]Say, usually I don't like getting automated emails but your bot that detects when an edit is made that points to a disambiguation page was just excellent! The bot explanation was reasonable and polite. I realized the point and popped onto Wikipedia to make the fix. I had pointed to APL when I shoud have used APL.
Thanks for helping keep Wikipedia tidy!

Editing
[edit]Hello my name is Bobly sometimes you may have seen my work if sometimes muddled up, but I was looking at Real Madrid 1987 -88 Wikipedia page I tried to change it, but then found to my horror that it wasn't up dated it had the same scores and scorers. Before you start blaming me I have not touched it before it will have been another user.
I was wondering if any one could correct it, if you want me to do it I gladly would, but I don't want to make a mess so I thought I would ask first
Thank you for listening

Speedy deletion nomination of Terrestris (disambiguation)
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Terrestris (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
