"Checkwiki error"?
User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow

Just looking at your most recent edits, and of the random dozen I looked at none of them looked like what I remember from being on the checkwiki list. Could you please either skip if your fix isn't made, or specify which error is being fixed? Editing dozens of pages and only changing whitespace is kind of pointless. Thanks.

 * yes. I was trying to edit using improved version of AutoWikiBrowser/Custom Modules. In the end, I got sort of annoyed, and started saving the pages. I realised my blunder, and stopped editing. I will experiment in sandbox first. Also, can you tell me how apply important general fixes, excluding the pointless ones? I will start experimenting in my sandbox after 3-4 hours from now. I had made some experiments first (saved only one though), in this edit, it made some important changes, and didn't change the date. I will work further. —usernamekiran (talk) 12:18, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * If that custom module isn't working the way you thought, it's probably because it hasn't been updated in 6 years, though I suppose most of those function calls are still more or less the same. I'm not really sure what you're going for here, because genfixes aren't generally checkwiki fixes, and my personal thought is that if you're going to do genfixes you might as well do 'em all. If you can give me a better idea of what you're trying to edit/change/go after I might be able to help a bit better. Primefac (talk) 19:09, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorting names of hybrid taxa
Names of hybrid taxa, like Phalaenopsis × veitchiana are always sorted without the hybrid sign. We almost always use the "×" in the title and text in the English Wikipedia, but the ICNafp is clear that it is optional. So for this particular article, what is needed is, not  which you added. I've fixed a lot of your changes back to about 30 January, but it would be useful if you could address this too. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:57, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi. I did not know that. Thanks for letting me know. I will avoid such mistakes in future. Regarding my previous edits, please be assured that I will take care of them in upcoming 2-3 days. —usernamekiran (talk) 09:54, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks! Peter coxhead (talk) 10:05, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Hyphen vs. endash
Hey, for edits like this, why have the defaultsort as the page name with hyphen instead of endash?. Thanks, Indagate (talk) 08:25, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello. I came across the article from WP:CWERRORS (error number 6, and 37). It says default sort should not have special characters in them, and the same is implied at WP:SORTKEY. That's why AWB is adding default sort with hyphen instead of endash. —usernamekiran (talk) 09:54, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikilinks in Imagemaps
Hi Usernamekiran, could you please note that if you remove a wikilink embedded in Template:Imagemap, that the entire template breaks, returning a bold error message instead of displaying anything. You can comment out an entire line if need be, or just leave the whole thing alone as it's doing no damage. The reason for leaving them in, by the way, is that if the imagemap is copied from article A to article B, the link to article A will then work, so there is method in the madness. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:46, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
