Disambiguation pages on french WP
Hello JaGa, first, excuse me for my poor engish.

I work on french wikipedia for solving Disambiguation pages. Actually, this list is generate by using dump on wikimedia. We use a Perl script to analyze the dump but this script is no longer working. This script was written several years ago and nobody is able to fix it. This way to generate disambiguation pages list is not easy and I think I'm the only one on french WP to know how to do.

My question is simple : is it possible to use dplbot tools to generate this list for french WP ? we only need a list with the name of the disambiguation page and the number of links.

I don't know how dplbot tools work and if it's easy to do. I just ask.

You can contact me here. Thanks Leag (talk) 07:57, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Requesting guidance
Hi,

Greetings, I received a bot notification from your bot about linking a disambiguation page namely Islamic Reformism in the article Superstitions in Muslim societies.

Now concept of Islamic Reformism has two main opposing ends one is orthodox revivalism the other opposite end is modernist, and then there is a middle ones called liberals and progressives.

As far as author of sourced text is concerned he is referring to all the three as a single basket (without differentiating much since he does not need to) in this particular referenced sentence. " ...Zadeh says, the process of modernization in Muslim world, with its grounding in European colonialism and post-Enlightenment thought, as well as in Islamic Reformism, has contested and reconfigured many historical and traditional practices, often viewed them as being ignorance and superstitious..."

So I prefer to retain link of disambiguation page Islamic Reformism as is, even though I do not know actual Wikipedia rules in this respect. Can we continue the link as is ? Requesting your guidance in this particular respect.

Thanks and warm regards

 * (talk page watcher) Potentially relevant to this particular question, WP:MOSQUOTE says, among other things, "Be conservative when linking within quotations: link only to targets that correspond to the meaning clearly intended by the quote's author." Linking within quotations can be misleading if it implies that the author intended a particular meaning when they actually used an ambiguous term, perhaps intending to be ambiguous. Unless the author has stated their intention explicitly, it is better to leave the quote unlinked.  More generally, if you do intend to link to an ambiguous term because, for example, its ambiguity itself is worth noting, then see WP:D for the correct approach. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 14:10, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your valuable inputs. For a month or so I will leave it un linked and after a month I will link to dab page option and make mention on article talk page with reason. As of now article talk page is busy with multiple topics so I will do it after a month or so. It was very nice of you. Thanks again and warm regards Bookku (talk) 15:08, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your help

Templates with disambiguation links
Hello. Firstly, if TDL is no longer your tool, please accept my apologies and pass this message on (with a request to change its contact info). Thank you for updating the FIX links to use Dispenser's IP address rather than the dead domain. Something has changed again: https: access now hangs consistently (expired certificate?) but http: still works. Please can you remove the s from https://69.142.160.183? Similar tools may also be affected. (I could hack it with TamperMonkey, but this way should work for everyone.) Thanks, Certes (talk) 19:56, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Bot error
Hi. I just received a message from DPL Bot stating that I had incorrectly linked to a disambiguation page. I checked the page - Gold-ringed tanager - and found that the link is to the page Cordillera Occidental (Colombia) and not to the disambiguation page Cordillera Occidental. So in this case the bot did not work correctly. Just wanted to let you know. Adaptivity77 (talk) 15:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It appears that you added the incorrect link in this edit and then another user corrected it (after the bot reported it) in this edit. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 01:06, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I'm surpised that I wasn't informed of the edit because I am watching that page. But it matters not - the correct link is in place and all is well.Adaptivity77 (talk) 01:10, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Request for peer review help
Hi Jaga. I hope you are doing well and staying safe during these times! Apologize to bother and posting a random request. I have just started to work on a stub (Fontainea Venosa)and had added some sections. Knowing your expertise, I would love if you can help me to review and left a comment on what I can do to improve my edits. Your bots posted a message on top of the page saying that the article had some links that led to ambiguation pages. I had tried to fix this but could not find a way to get rid of the message on top.

Would you be able to help me to provide feedback on this? But no pressure if you are busy. That is completely fine and understandable :) Hope to hear from you soon. The article is Fontainea Venosa

Thank you so much :) Sparklingkull (talk) 09:49, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Diocese of manchester
Evidence of link to the "Diocese of Manchester". https://www.manchester.anglican.org/acny/bury/624200-bircle-st-john-the-baptist
 * (talk page watcher) @Reefermaker: I think you misunderstood the bot's message. It was not concerned with the source for the mention of the Diocese of Manchester. Rather, the point is that Waze has two articles about entities called the Diocese of Manchester, and you should link to the one that is relevant in this context. Based on the link you supplied, the relevant one is almost certainly Anglican Diocese of Manchester. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 01:36, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello DPLbot. I just now changed the page you told me about. Sorry for the inconvenience, I forgot about disambiguation pages. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sincereduck (talk • contribs) 06:32, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation fix
Hello JaGa,

I got a message from you bot about a link I put up. The message said that PSU needed to be listed as disambiguation, so I went in right away and included that in the link. Hope that fixed it :) Updatewithfacts (talk) 06:12, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

DPL bot question
Regarding this edit by a user ostensibly to stop DPL bot from tagging the page -- 1) does this actually work and 2) does DPL bot include non-article links when determining whether to add the template? older ≠ wiser 19:11, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * (talk page watcher), 1) yes, it actually works, although nothing stops another user from undoing it; 2) no, DPL bot only counts mainspace links; and (although you didn't ask) 3) if that user had waited just another hour or two, the bot would have removed the template itself during the next twice-daily update. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 00:03, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Tagging DPL bot false positives
The DPL bot recently flagged an edit I made. I believe it to be a false positive, in the sense that the link's target is deliberately a disambiguation page: it refers further to two distinct-but-very-close concepts, neither of which quite matches the usage for which I added the link.

The bot's behaviour seems entirely fine to me, but I'd like to know whether there is a way to annotate the link so the bot ignores the false positive. If not, is it fine to simply ignore the notification, or is there somewhere a list of pages-with-dablinks that may mislead someone into “fixing” the link?

(Generally, I believe the “proper” fix for this situation would be to rework the disambiguation page, to introduce the general concept, and cross-link with existing pages about more-specific concepts; that's more long-term, though, and a lot more editing work than I can presently commit to.)

Thanks a lot for making the bot, it's a good wiki helper and does its best, even though sometimes humans are too complicated for its beepy brains. 💜 nicoo (talk) 15:54, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
