Thanks, automation error when trying to clean up that whole redirect subcategory. Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:02, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 15:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't relink commonly known words for musical instruments and singing. See WP:OVERLINK. Tony (talk) 04:34, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Eejit43,

The Karnataka State Govt had prepared the DPR for this new line and I've attached the references for this proposed line. Kindly check and revert back the page. Thank you. Santosh4118 (talk) 17:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't contest that, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and the track's notability hasn't been proven. I'm not going to edit war with you, however, and will wait for another reviewer to take a look. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 17:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you— would you mind adding the {{r to natural disambiguation}} rcat to the list of available templates in your redirect-helper script? Thanks, Cremastra (talk) 19:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! If you could add it to WP:ALLRCATS (along with {{R from natural disambiguation}} it seems...), that would help, as I have a a script that parses templates from that list. If not I'll get to it later today. Thanks for pointing that out! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 20:09, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done— thanks, I hadn't seen that listing before. Cremastra (talk) 20:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done on my end! Thanks so much! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 20:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Aruba has been nominated for splitting. A discussion is taking place to decide whether it complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. Mason (talk) 00:41, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way for you guys at categories for creation to take a more critical eye to the Churches by dependent territory? I've had a bring a ton of these to CFD lately. The IP that's requesting them is a known troll WP:LTA/HKGW. Mason (talk) 00:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this LTA case. To be honest the categories seemed fine when going through them originally, especially as there are likely more pages that would apply. I'm not opposed to any of the proposals you have made, and please do check the previous approved requests at WP:AFC/C if you'd like.

I'll make sure not to accept any similar requests, thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 00:53, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I wasn't aware that it was a long-term issue until a day or two ago. And, I agree that on the surface the nominations look fine, but what seems to happen is two things: 1) the category doesn't actually need diffusion by century, and 2) the IP is taking a really unique interpretation of dependent territory, and is using this as a means to remove them from the parent nation the category is nested in. Mason (talk) 01:10, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CanonNi I wanted to bring this to your attention as well, as you have also been active at AfC/C recently. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:13, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand and will pay more attention to these types of category requests. Thank you for informing me. CanonNi (talk) 01:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both! :) Mason (talk) 01:31, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not mention Cole Brings Plenty… AliceBzh (talk) 10:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It does now and it did when I accepted the redirect request. Seems like it was removed from the page for a bit, but is back now. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 18:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AnomieBOT was probably running into a misbug where it bypasses triple-and-more redirects but keeps re-processing the page. Normally this doesn't cause a problem since the re-processing is normally just null edits. But why were you edit warring with it to remove a colon from the target and remove the (useful, IMO) redirect categorization templates? Anomie⚔ 11:50, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anomie that you for mentioning that, I was going to bring it up with you later. {{R avoided double redirect}} was out of date and throwing an error. I can't seem to reproduce that error right now, however, though it was somehow related to the earlier move. As such, I ran my user script, redirect-helper on the subject page to resolve that double redirect, assuming the talk page would have had the same issue. Seems like there must have been a caching issue on the page, and as such it kept throwing the error when AnomieBot updated the page. Seems like it is resolved now, thankfully. If not, I'll dig into the issue a bit more deeply.

And while you are here: {{R from modification}} should be switched out with the new {{R from alternative hyphenation}}. Thanks! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 14:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to mention, my tool automatically removes the auto-g8 (not specifically, but all non-whitelisted templates, something I'll can change). As for the redirect templates, I'm generally not a fan of having any rcats on talk pages aside from {{R from move}} as I think all it does is clog up tracking categories that would then have the subject page and talk page. I think it's better to just have the subject page categorized, but that is again just my opinion. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 14:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder whether {{R avoided double redirect}} was complaining about Talk:2021–2022 inflation surge still pointing to Talk:2021–2023 inflation until someone fixed that double redirect. Anomie⚔ 16:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That would be it, yes! I got muddled around with that big chain of redirects. Thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anomie just FYI, alongside the change to {{R from alternative hyphenation}}, the use of {{no redirect}} is no longer needed with recent changes to those templates! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 02:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This reminded me of three things (relating to the script):

1. Feature request: currently the script suggests rcats e.g. r to section/anchor and r wikidata. It would be nice if you could just click on the warning text to add them.
2. Second feature request: supporting rcat redirects from Category:Template redirects with possibilities. If it helps I have some code for this for Missing Redirects Project, see the source code and search for fetchRcatsAndInit.
3. I'm planning on nominating your tool for meta:Coolest Tool Award.

Happy editing! — Qwerfjkltalk 18:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. A great idea, and something I've been meaning to implement for a while. I'll start on this soon!

2. Another good idea, and I'll have to think about how I want to implement it. I'll also start on this soon (and maybe simply fetch rcats from the category as well, instead of parsing from WP:ALLRCATS)!

3. I'm honored, thank you! I'm glad this tool has been so useful.

Again, thanks! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 23:17, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Qwerfjkl done, and done! The one thing that isn't handled yet is avoided double redirects to templates with possibilities, but I'll get on that later. Forgot to mention, this is handled now! Let me know if you have any feedback! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:52, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You chose a bad move target for Tiden (newspaper, Arendal) because Tiden (newspaper) is also a Norwegian newspaper. Geschichte (talk) 04:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, thank you! I have no clue how I missed that. I'll fix that later, and likely make a disambiguation. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 11:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Tiden (Arendal newspaper) is the new location, and the other newspaper has been moved to Tiden (Christiania newspaper). Tiden (newspaper) is now a redirect to the Tiden disambiguation page. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 13:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eejit43 - and thanks for building redirect-helper :)

I just had a query regarding a warning it gave me -- I was trying to create a redirect from Ffransis (given name) to Ffransis with the rcat {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} (before I realised that Ffransis G. Payne would be a better target, as the rest of the people listed at Ffransis had it as a surname), and redirect-helper warned me that [t]his page is a redirect to a surname list, but it is not tagged with a correct disambiguation categorization template. I was slightly confused by this - it might be that I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what redirect template the script wanted me to use here!

All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 09:59, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, now I'm wondering if redirect-helper wanted me to use {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} -- I suppose whether the disambiguation is unnecessary or incomplete depends on whether or not a name list is thought of as more of a stand-alone list or as a tool for disambiguation. ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 10:05, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

redirect-helper considers valid surname list templates to be {{R from ambiguous sort name}} and {{R from ambiguous term}}. I hadn't thought of {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} when creating that check.

However, I think using both "R from ambiguous term" and "R from unnecessary disambiguation" would make sense, as the latter doesn't imply that the target is a disambiguation page (or in this case, a surname list).

Does that sound right to you? Thanks! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 11:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
