== Question about Reflinks ==

I saw you've been using Reflinks. Seems like it's a very important tool to use, and I tried it out myself. Unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't do anything at all and just says "No changes necessary: references template found." even though there are bare URL citations. Thus, though I've run the script, when it does that, it doesn't actually remove the tag. What are you doing, and how can I do better? Thanks.

:Thanks for the information you left on my talk page. But what happens if there's a bare deadlink and I can't find archived versions? Reflinks will mark it as a deadlink, but shouldn't I at least convert it to a real citation template or something? I see what you mean about PDF files.

Email address accounts

Has the username policy recently changed? We always grandfathered in non-disruptive email address accounts when the software was changed to prevent new address account names. Most of the accounts you listed haven't been active in years. MBisanz talk 02:05, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Defaultsorts

Regarding the comment you made here: you are incorrect. Defaultsorts are not necessary to place articles in categories; they affect how articles are sorted in categories. {{DEFAULTSORT}} is used when one wishes for an article to be sorted other than alphabetically by the first letter of the article title. For example, sorting biographical articles by the person's surname rather than first name: The article Barack Obama uses {{DEFAULTSORT:Obama, Barack}} so the article will be sorted under the letter "O" (for Obama) rather than "B" (for Barack) in categories (see for example Category:Democratic Party Presidents of the United States). Another example, when the article title begins with "The": The article The Beatles uses {{DEFAULTSORT:Beatles, The}} so the article will be sorted under "B" (for Beatles) rather than "T" (for The) in categories (see for example Category:Musical groups from Liverpool).

A defaultsort key is not required for articles to be listed in categories; all that is required is for the categories to be added somewhere in the article in the format [[Category:x]]. You can see this for yourself: The article Aliens: Colonial Marines currently does not use a defaultsort, yet is still appears in the various categories listed at the bottom of the page (see for example Category:Alien (franchise) games). A defaulstort key that is identical to the article title has no effect and is therefore useless; defaultsorts need only be used when it is desirable to change how an article is sorted in categories.

The article '79 Parts has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable film, fails WP:NFILM.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ukexpat (talk) 19:35, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.
