Re: Disambiguation link notification for July 28
Dear DPL bot,

I did not added a new link, only changed the name into the correct name order. But I see that this caused the link pointing to a disambiguation page, where this Géza Tóth is not listed. I fixed it at Alfréd Rényi Prize, please check it. Thanks. --Tudor987 (talk) 10:12, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification
I guess just because you are a bot I could not thank you for your edit via the history, so I thought I should drop by. I fixed the link from Turkic to Turkic peoples, and I appreciate your help. Omikroergosum (talk) 16:53, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation fix didn't save
I tried using the interface suggested by this bot to fix all disambiguations at this page but then when I clicked "Save page" it claimed that there was an invalid token and all my work was deleted, it then redirected me here, is there a way to fix this? --Donald Trung (talk) 13:09, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 25
Thanks for the notice! That was intentional… though due to ignorance of the proper protocol. The International Fleet Review page for this 2018's recurrence doesn't exist yet, so I decided to reference the more inclusive disambiguation page for the even in and of itself. May I ask the proper protocol for this matter? Would it be better for me to create a red link (by referring/linking to a non-existent page) or to also create the missing page as well, though a stub since I don't plan on filling it?

Likewise, may I ask the protocol or references when I'm citing the data-page of a bill in Philippine Senate's website and for citing a .pdf-text of a bill in the Philippine House of Representatives's website (since a separate data-page for separate bills does not exist in their site)? Just to be sure, how are they to be cited/referenced, considering that they aren't news articles, scientific journal entries, etc?

Thanks for your time. --N192 (talk) 09:15, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Operation on nl.wikipedia
On Dutch (nl) Wikipedia we have held a discussion and a poll on having a system with DPL bot that you are operating here. Including myself the result of the poll is 20 times yes and 2 times no. So the Dutch community is quite overwhelmingly positive in introducing it. See here (ja=yes, nee=no). I am curious if you can operating it on nl.wikipedia as well? In case you don't feel operate it yourself there, could you help us start it op on Dutch Wikipedia? Can you in either way tell us what you need to know from us? Thank you in advance!

Disambiguation link notification for January 16
Hi there, I have only done what many others have done before me: to link a full name within a list of bearers of a certain surname to the disambiguation page with all bearers of this very name. If this was wrong for some reason, I beg for a precise description of the problem. Thanks, --Kolya (talk) 21:17, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

A glitch
For the last few days, the numbers in WP:TDD have disagreed with those in Disambiguation pages with links. For example, the 09:00 UTC run on 5 April produced the numbers 37, 86, 245, 789, 8605 and 38, 46, 90, 931, 8324 respectively. (8 with 4 links and 54 with 3 links looks more believable than 49 and 159. I've been hammering those two regions of the DPWL report hard since Monday, and must have fixed around 1000 DABlinks. DAB Challenge says 812, but of course that only includes the DABlinks found on 1 April.) Narky Blert (talk) 09:46, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Table 3 isn't compiling the number of links from articles to a disambiguation page, but rather the number of links from an article to disambiguation pages. So instead of https://tools.wmflabs.org/dplbot/disambig_links.php, you need to look at https://tools.wmflabs.org/dplbot/articles_with_dab_links.php as the source for Table 3. Note that this table excludes links that are transcluded through a template. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:32, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * That explains it. I lost some bookmarks a while ago, and may have switched lists. Narky Blert (talk) 17:39, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Mistagging?
The bot tagged Dynasty (disambiguation) with incoming links, however there are only two mainspace articles which link there, and via totally appropriate hatnotes. The remaining 30 or so "links" are either redirects from deletion discussions and other Wikipedia pages, user pages, or talk pages, or direct links from these non-article pages.— TAnthonyTalk 13:48, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * There were incoming links at the time the bot ran this morning (US time), but they were through a template that has since been fixed. The bot would have removed the template at its next run if you had not done so manually. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:21, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Missed disambiguation link?
I realised after the fact that this edit was going to bring the bot to my talk page. Curiously, it didn't. Airbornemihir (talk) 03:57, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Flagged, Totally Agree, Made Edit; Will Bot ReVisit To Verify?
Hi, I was sent a private message on my "user talk" page, [which really should be called 'user messages' because I believe it's private!]... Anyway, If a bot makes a suggestion to a wiki user, and they then make an agreeable edit as a result, what is the best way to close out the issue and inform the bot that a correction has been made? Or, perhaps this isn't even necessary, as the bot could've set the article as a Watch page and is monitoring for the change that was suggested? Thanks for your time. :) -- Re my original edit with bad disambiguation URL here and my correction made Vid2vid (talk) 22:29, 24 May 2019 (UTC) and Vid2vid (talk) 16:06, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanh Bình confusion
The bot placed the Dablinks template at Thanh Bình. Largoplazo (talk) 12:29, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Template:Dablinks/FAQ says "This template is only placed on articles that have a large number of links to disambiguation pages, currently defined as 7 dablinks or more."
 * The bot's edit summary reads "Robot: adding incoming links template; 30 or more articles link here ..".
 * At this moment only 2 articles link to it (along with 6 non-article pages). Maybe someone already cleaned everything up in the five hours since the page was tagged?

I just took care of the two articles, Bắc Kạn Province and Chợ Mới District, Bắc Kạn. Largoplazo (talk) 12:36, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It is very possible that one or more WikiGnomes started fixing the links almost as soon as the bot template was added. I've seen DAB pages with over a thousand incoming links (e.g. because of a justified page move which made a link ambiguous) cleaned up within a day or so.
 * Good work in fixing the final two! Narky Blert (talk) 09:36, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages with links
As I write, Disambiguation pages with links hasn't been updated for two-and-a-half days, and nor has WP:TDD. 'Fix links' off DPWL has given a mixture of "There are no results to display" (mostly; almost always a lie), 502 errors (sometimes), total failures to load or even to time-out (occasionally), and normal-looking lists containing up to 10 entries which are complete garbage (once or twice; no link from any of those entries, the bad link could only be found from 'What links here').

I'm betting on yet another tweak upstairs at MediaForge; it might be worth checking to see if they've permanently broken something on which DPL bot relies. Narky Blert (talk) 11:47, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 5
Hello DPLbot and good moaning to you 2. How is this

- Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Netherlands Carillon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Asten (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.) -

a problem? Note that before noon, i am still grumpy (disambiguation/not WaltDisney's dwarf from Snowwhite / mirror, mirror on the wall) and in need of more cafeïne. Are you a robot? If so, be advised that i prefer Asimov over Will Smith. Regardless of how undead the latter seems in comparison with Isaac.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:50, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

&what's the source of trouble or annoyance with disambiguation? Would you prefer an ambiguous Asten? Note that in the same sentence the country Netherlands is mentioned, along with Eijsbouts foundry; reducing the ambiguousness of aforementioned issue quite clearly in the direction of unambiguous. If, however, you feel that this still confuses the WiKi-community: fix the fuckin' problem!

Excuse me if i sound a bit (disambiguation: a tad or small amount / not something binary / nor past tense of bite) uneducated, dumb and rewd. I was still in primary school when Ruby shot Oswald. Excerpt from WiKi: In 1976 Knight won a Tony Award for her performance in Kennedy's Children.

 * Sintermerte: Think of it from the reader's point of view. You are reading an article about the Netherlands Carillon. You see a link that says "Asten". From the context, you realize (being a human, who is much smarter than a robot) that Asten must be a place in the Netherlands, since that is where the bells were being repaired. You'd like to know more, so you click on the link. Would you expect the next page you see to be this, or this? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:44, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Opinions on workaround. Target disambig page has desired content.
Hi, Comments are appreciated.

DPL bot is doing a great job. My problem is with the target page, I'm with Stupid, which starts with the desired text: I'm with Stupid is a jovial insult, best known as a popular slogan for novelty T-shirts. It may also refer to: and has the template in the page.

There's a quote in the Baby_Elephant_Walk sections which has "I'm with Stupid" which would be nice to link to something, especially for those unfamilar with the expression.

I briefly put in the and a comment.

Then reconsidering, I picked the Template:Hover text as a workaround and removed the bot exclusion.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baby_Elephant_Walk&type=revision&diff=947281855&oldid=947280518

This was done via:

""

and yields "I'm with Stupid".

This seems a true Ugh, but should I just remove it and leave the bare text "I'm with Stupid" in the source quote?

"Enquiring minds want to know" :) Lent (talk) 12:01, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Hover title uses a hover attribute, which is discouraged by WP:Manual of Style (accessibility). The problem here is that I'm with Stupid is rightly a disambiguation page – there's too little notability and material for an article – but is being referred to as if it were a stub.  I agree with avoiding a piped link to I'm with Stupid (disambiguation), because the reference is not to the TV series, album, etc. collectively.  There's no Wiktionary entry.  It's a difficult case; I would probably leave the bare text unlinked. WT:WikiProject Disambiguation might provide other opinions.  Certes (talk) 12:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Also note that MOS:LINKQUOTE suggests generally to avoid links inside direct quotations. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:03, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

WP:TDD#Today's highlights
WP:TDD reports the correct number of "disambig pages left the list today"; but the list is capped to the first 500. Could this be upped to the first 1000, or to all of them? I scan the list for links which have turned blue for housekeeping purposes, notably to check that new WP:PTOPICs have otheruses hatnotes.

Split (disambiguation)
Sorry, I really did not immagine that Split could be a disambiguation. Split, Croatia, like Venice, Nebraska. If so, who cares about it? So I've deleted it from the article on Biserka Cvejić. Anyway, I was present when Kurt Adler coducted Aida at Split Summer Festival 1959, with Cvejić as Amneris. Then he brought her to The Metropolitan Opera. This has been the Festival where sung Eleanor Steber, Martina Arroyo, James McCracken, Louis Sgarro, Dimitar Uzunov, Lucilla Udovich, Zinka Milanov, Enzo Sordello, and other Metropolitan performers. Something like Venice, Zimbabwe. Not to be confused with Split Lake, or The Split (1959 film), a U.S.-Japanese horror film. --Inoslav Bešker (talk) 13:28, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 13
Thanks for the intimation. If you see the links on Sanam, the Dev Anand film and Husnlal Bhagatram and match them with the film Sanam uploaded on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBJeBhgBTk&t=5773s), you will not fail to notice that the credits of the movie and the details given by me (as mentioned above) do match perfectly, i.e. Husnlal Bhagatram were indeed composers of the movie Sanam, which starred Dev Anand and Suraiya, and the that film had Qamar Jalalabadi as the lyricist. Thanks again. Srirangam99 (talk) 07:41, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Dear Sanam is not an article about a film starring Dev Anand.  Sanam (1951 film) is an article about that film.  Which one do you think would be more helpful to link to? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:57, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Russ, I would prefer linking Sanam to remain as an article on the film, but would prefer it linked to both Dev Anand and Husnlal Bhagatram. Fans of Dev Anand can see Sanam on his page as a film he starred in and those of Husnlal Bhagatram would see Sanam being among the films they composed music for.

I fixed these two in the normal way but when I clicked on them to check it did not take me to the specific target, only to the article. What did I do wrong?:
 * middle distances


 * Elmendorf

Thanks for your help. Stretchrunner (talk) 11:39, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for disambiguating the Elmendorf link to Elmendorf Farm. The disambiguation page Middle distance doesn't have a "Middle-distance horse racing" section, and Wikipedia doesn't seem to have an article on this specific topic.  The nearest I can find is, which is a redirect to Horse racing covering all distances.  Maybe the term should just be unlinked.  Certes (talk) 12:33, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the prompt assistance. I'll remove the link to "middle distance" for now until we can come up with something covering all four horse racing distance classes.

All links to dispenser.info.tm give “server not responding”

 * Yes: the dispenser.info.tm subdomain has lapsed and redirects to an unrelated page. You can access the tools via the IP address 69.142.160.183, e.g. .  As discussed above, we are working on a fix but there are problems. Certes (talk) 11:05, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Until the domain name works, you should put the IP address into the messages the bot generates. Jim Craigie (talk) 07:40, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, some users have expressed the view that links to third-party hosted tools should be avoided. See Template talk:Dablinks. On the principle that a bot shouldn't be doing anything that could reasonably be objected to, I think the better solution is to omit these links entirely until the issue gets sorted out. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:25, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Feature request: dump dablink list into the template

 * Boxed material unarchived from Archive 8.

Hello. It would be a nice feature, if the DPL bot could dump a list of dablinks that it finds. Clearly the code to find dablinks is already present, so I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to output a list of them, up to your configurable threshold. Perhaps it could be configured to dump output to a file, but perhaps better and even easier, would be to dump the first N links right into the auto-generated template itself, in a section collapsed by default, with a show/hide link to view the list.

This request grows out of a discussion at Template talk:Dablinks. The dablinks template formerly (perma) had two links to a tool that would allow one to "check" or "fix" the dab links. These links have been suppressed from the template as non-working. This leaves users completely in the dark, as far as what links need to be fixed. The banner generated by the template now, is essentially useless, functioning like a compiler written as a term project by a student in compiler theory 101, which, when it finds a syntax error in a 200kb program input to it, prints, "Your program had an error" and stops. Barely better than nothing.

The fact is, under the current circumstances, you might as well turn off task #1, because it serves no useful purpose without a way to determine which links to examine. The banners at the top of some articles are tantalizing, but pointless. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 06:51, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * PetScan can list all the dablinks on a page (example for Khan Kandi, Germi), but it does not spot links to redirects to dabs. (Adding  would catch some but not all of them). .  Alternatively, although it is the wrong way to solve the problem, it shouldn't be hard to rig up something to scrape and parse the HTML which MediaWiki generates.  Links to dabs come in &lt;a> tags of class "mw-disambig" (possibly accompanied by other classes such as "mw-redirect").  The parser could even optionally ignore links within , which are the bane of our lives as one error in a template can cause hundreds of articles to appear to be linked to a dab.  None of this replaces Dispenser's tools, which help us to fix the problems rather than just finding them.  See also DisamAssist, which solves the opposite problem: finding and fixing links from many pages to one dab. Certes (talk) 10:42, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Links to Dispenser's tools have been restored to Dablinks. You may have to bypass certificate warnings to access them. Undone, since I see from the talk page that there was a deliberate decision to remove them. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:03, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Just a note to point out that there is precedent for making default-collapsed cleanup templates that have a great deal more information expanded than they do collapsed. See for example, the Expand French banner at the top of Armistice Army (perma).
 * While we're waiting for an automated version created by the bot, I extended the Dablinks template to permit manual entry of up to ten links, viewable using a show/hide link. There is now a working mockup in the Template:Dablinks/sandbox; sample operations can be viewed at Template:Dablinks/testcases. Doc page to follow, but is fairly intuitive if you look at the test cases. Presumably DPL bot could just use this same framework, plugging in the links automatically. Mathglot (talk) 05:54, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm renewing this feature request, based on recent updates to the Dablinks template.

The new dablinks feature has been implemented, and you can now add up to ten positional parameters representing links that need attention from an editor. For an example, see Khan Kandi, Germi (also: Crohn's disease, Wounded Bird Records, Carole Ward Allen, List of most common surnames in North America, and others). This could be used by DPL bot, to add the first ten from the list directly to the template when generating it, instead of having to rely on users interacting with outside software. (Additional background at Template talk:Dablinks, sections #Broken links, and #New functionality in sandbox.)

 * Hi! A was left at Potts (surname) following linking edits I’d made there, however the links were intentional, leading to disambigs of people with the same first and last name (e.g., John Potts, and others). I read your reply (above), but I can’t figure out what you did (marking it as intentional). If I remove the notification, will it not just come back later, maybe repeatedly? I’ll follow whatever you advise. Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 05:20, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The convention here is to reroute the intentional disambiguation links through "... (disambiguation)" redirects, like the first green example in WP:INTDAB. So, rather than Andrew Potts, write Andrew Potts.  However, we first need to create a redirect, looking something like #REDIRECT [ [Andrew Potts]] R to disambiguation page.  This complication may seem unnecessary but it eliminates your link from the list of bad ones, allowing us to detect when someone carelessly writes Smith worked with [ [Andrew Potts]]|undefined and fix it to link to an individual.

Thanks!
Thank you for catching the disambiguation link. I've changed the sentence so not to include the word. If you have time please check my changes for any additional issues. Any feedback is much appreciated. --Asr1014 (talk) 06:46, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 15
This disambiguation of buff refers to Buff (colour) and I have corrected that already. Please check my edits on Liberal Party (Philippines) and click view history.

Thanks, Barcakes (talk) 14:21, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the link for our readers.  Your edits look good to me but I'm no expert on politics or the Philippines.  If you want a specialist to check, just drop a note at Talk:Liberal Party (Philippines) or Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines. Certes (talk) 08:08, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

 * I can't see what any of this has to do with any of DPL bot's automated functions. Perhaps you put this note on the wrong page? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:24, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Message content
Hi, thanks for your great work. I think you've only caught me out once in about 5 years. But why not make your standard message more helpful, by including a sentence such as "If you go to Special:Preferences → Gadgets and check "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange", links to all such pages will be become obvious." You would have less work to do if all the recipients acted on the suggestion, but then again you might be doing yourself out of a job... Best wishes, MinorProphet (talk) 18:39, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I suggested something like this last year and still think it's a good idea. How about it, ? BlackcurrantTea (talk) 15:45, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, as a classic way to teach a man to fish. (I prefer User:Anomie/linkclassifier, which highlights redirects etc. too, but the principle is right.) Certes (talk) 16:13, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems that consensus™ may have been reached, unless we can get OrangeMike on the case. Failing that, we expectantly await your implementation of said suggestion. Cheers, MinorProphet (talk) 03:07, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Bug in DPL-bot?
''[Added later] My comment is incorrect, don't bother reading this. pol098 I just got the following message in my Talk page.

This is clearly an error; I did add the stated link to Andrew Marr, and deleted (did not add) a link to Denmark from Battle of Blenheim, but they are normal, long articles, not disambiguation pages or indeed any sort of list.

Maybe the bot needs checking?

Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 10:43, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the bot is correct here. After your edit, the article Battle of Blenheim contains a link to Danish, which is indeed a disambiguation page. -- John of Reading (talk) 11:00, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you're quite right. I thought I'd unlinked Danish completely (I often unlink countries per WP:OVERLINK); instead I inadvertently made it a link to Danish. And, somewhat disturbed by this apparent error, I somehow misread DPL bot's message as implying that I had edited a disambiguation page inappropriately. Apologies; my comment is quite wrong.
