Dropping parameter "access-date" from other templates without URLs like cite episode, cite AV media notes & cite ODNB
- Status
- new bug
- Reported by
- — Chris Capoccia 💬 12:48, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- What happens
- Citation bot is stripping accessdate from many kinds of citation templates without URLs, but there are other templates that will still show an error in Category:Pages using citations with accessdate and no URL and Citation bot does not try to strip the accessdate from these other kinds of templates
- We can't proceed until
- Feedback from maintainers
{{wontfix}} since often the url is in the website parameter or someplace else and we won’t remove access dates unless template is something we work with in general. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 11:52, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
Web site changed to book
- Status
- {{fixed}} by flagging archive.org as not a reliable defininer of books
- Reported by
- Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:30, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- What happens
- {{cite web}} changed to {{cite book}}. It is not a book, and I don't know why it thinks it is. A heuristic may need to be tweaked.
- What should happen
- No change
- Relevant diffs/links
- https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Operation_Hurricane&type=revision&diff=909929609&oldid=903079362

archive.org has revampted the website. Will look more. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 18:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- URL structure the same. The media type can be determined with an API call. -- GreenC 20:45, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- what do you mean by api call? AManWithNoPlan (talk) 21:02, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- "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): 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. raven01poegoog has a single mediatype on return. -- GreenC 22:31, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- we might eventually do that. Depending upon free time and the need level. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 23:14, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

The media type is pretty generic:

- Hmm it might not work to distinguish between books and other printed non-book texts. -- GreenC 05:15, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
- Closing as {{fixed}} as best we can, since the types archive.org uses (audio, web, account, movies, collection, texts, image, software) are pretty useless). AManWithNoPlan (talk) 18:10, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
