Updated URL needed 2014

This tool has moved. See User_talk:Citation_bot#Shut_down_of_tool_servers. Can someone please update the URL, if necessary, in this page, so that the Gadget will work?

I may have misdiagnosed the problem, but I believe a new URL is all that is needed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:41, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Protected Edit 2017

Please add the ?slow=1 to the URL i.e. https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/gadgetapi.php?slow=1 See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#Inline_.22Citations.22_button_does_not_work_as_well_as_calling_the_bot_through_link for a discussion of why this is a good idea. Basically the bot should do the same thing however it is called. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 00:02, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

When the bot writer (Smith) asks for the edit, you know it's good. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 03:40, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Please confirm the change that is required, and where that change is to be made. I see no mention of slow=1 in the link you provided, and I do not see a link to gadgetapi.php in this script. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:24, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

the script calls the bot two different ways. Please change https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/gadgetapi.php To https://tools.wmflabs.org/citations/gadgetapi.php?slow=1 The other call to the bot has it already. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 13:05, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Okay I found it. Sorry for the delay — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:04, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

It works. Thank you. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 15:01, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Bug 2015

@Smith609:, @Mattsenate:, and @Maximilianklein: please have a look at phab:T107649. Multichill (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

broken url 2014

please replace /citations/ with /citations-dev/ until the old url works again. See User_talk:Citation_bot#down.3F - Ihaveacatonmydesk (talk) 11:34, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Need to change hostname

Both references to "tools.wmflabs.org/citations" need to be changed to "citations.toolforge.org"   See: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Toolforge.org.   Right now, the bot is blocks, so do not expect it to work before or after (other than tool mode that used while editing a page) AManWithNoPlan (talk) 12:50, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

I should add that the DNS has now moved, so we are a little slow about this. Explicitly, the name and path are changing. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 14:51, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Is this why it seems to have stopped working, including clicking the Citations button when using Edit source? --- FULBERT (talk) 13:15, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

First, the bot account is currently blocked. Secondly, URL has changed. Thirdly, we were slow and have not updated the bot credentials. So, this only fixes one of the three problems, but this alone will fix the edit source button. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 13:54, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

AManWithNoPlan, Thanks! FULBERT (talk) 20:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

AManWithNoPlan, I would wait until OAuth actually works on the new domain. I see reports that it doesn't under the new domain. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 20:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

You have it backwards. It does not work on the old domain. Anyway the old domain is gone and redirects. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 20:49, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

AManWithNoPlan, what about the auth errors that people were getting this morning? —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 20:51, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

What errors are you refering too? the old domain is dead anyway. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 21:25, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

AManWithNoPlan, See this thread where The C of E claims they are getting auth errors. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 21:29, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

If they are down, then that is their failure. Oauth must be updated for the new server. This whole discusion is pointless since the old server is gone anyway. Once these edits are done, we will go from complete failure to failing because we also failed to update oauth. So, this edit is only one-third of the changes needed (the other third is the bots account is blocked) we were warned months ago to fix this and we are slow. Now our hand is forced.

@AManWithNoPlan:  Done (as to the edit request). — xaosflux ^Talk 23:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Reflinks also has a problem. Whenever you try to run it, you get a security alert and if you bypass it, then it redirects you to some random website rather than filling the references. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:35, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

part two of this bot translation-server reports every urls as "not found" now. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 11:33, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Reflinks is now coming up with a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" error message whenever you try to run it now. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:42, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Protected edit request - remove user name September 2019

&user="+encodeURIComponent( mw.config.get( 'wgUserName' ))

Should be just:

On line 97 change ['monobook', 'modern', 'vector'] to ['monobook', 'modern', 'vector', 'timeless']; it seems to work fine with Timeless. Perryprog (talk) 23:49, 16 January 2021 (UTC) Perryprog (talk) 23:49, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

 Done @Perryprog: added, let us know if it works for you. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Xaosflux, everything seems to be working, thank you. Perryprog (talk) 20:50, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
