Census again/still

[edit]

Consider this search. Things like [[2020 United States Census]] should be replaced by [[2020 United States census]]. And if we get those 4000 done I'll be happy to list more Census case fixes needed. Dicklyon (talk) 10:20, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done I did the first few hundred. This is a very large task so it will need editors to slowly chip away at it over time. Ultraodan (talk) 11:09, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ultraodan: Thanks! Want to do more? Dicklyon (talk) 03:40, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've got a settings file dedicated to the first 11 items at Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations, but it's pretty tedious. Dawnseeker2000 03:44, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat off topic side discussion

[edit]

Why bother, again/still? Per WP:NOTBROKEN, a Wikipedia editing guideline, there is no issue with 2020 United States Census simply redirecting to 2020 United States census that would justify mass edits solely for the purpose of "fixing" something that isn't a problem. Perhaps it makes sense while editing the individual articles for other productive purposes, but there appears to be no benefit to be editing large numbers of articles solely for the purpose of changing this one link. Alansohn (talk) 12:58, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's about the over-capitalization of the displayed text in these cases. It being a link is just a way to find a lot of them that need fixing that are clearly not just cosmetic. Maybe you're referring to the large numbers of piped links, which don't make a visible difference in the article; they're still worth fixing, in my opinion, to make the report of linked miscapitalized redirects more useful in finding things that need to be fixed. Those would be what I'd call not quite cosmetic, as they do have a visible effect, just not on the displayed article text (Wikipedia:Bot_policy#Cosmetic_changes says changes are "substantive" (as opposed to "cosmetic") if they make visible changes to things such as for the "administration of the encyclopedia", such as the maintenance of hidden categories used to track maintenance backlogs). Dicklyon (talk) 01:31, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Avoiding a redirect in a piped link is not one of those acceptable cosmetic edits. Primefac (talk) 15:22, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the redirect piped through is miscapitalized or misspelled, it shows up on a maintenance report, so fixing it is not cosmetic, but a constructive improvement that helps with maintenance. Avoiding fixing it degrades the usefulness of the maintenance reports. Dicklyon (talk) 03:38, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Copied from my WP:BOTREQ post: As seen in pages such as 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race, there are external links listed in the entry lists. This is a violation of WP:ELLIST, and they should be unlinked. A discussion is here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_NASCAR#Should_sponsor_website_links_be_included_in_entry_lists. Not sure how many years this goes back, but they would likely be on at least a hundred pages. I don’t see them on pages pre-2020, but have not gone through it all. I have also not seen anything like it on NASCAR Cup Series race pages. It would be a lot to go through, but the category Category:NASCAR races by track should have all the races in it. Thanks!

Text swap

[edit]

Copied from my WP:BOTREQ post: Change all "Cercanías Ferrol" references to "Cercanías Galicia", mostly in these pages: https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:LoQueEnlazaAqu%C3%AD/Cercan%C3%ADas_Galicia&limit=100. The denomination Cercanías Ferrol was never correct, but absent of a better one, it was chosen as the standard on Wikipedia. Renfe has now declared it Cercanías Galicia.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/43rd parallel south

[edit]

Because of how these were collapsed to make the nom legible, AfD closer couldn't process the removal of the co-nominated articles on closure. There has been no indication of an issue with the close. Would someone mind running AWB to remove the AfD template? Fine too if you'd rather wait to see if any issue is raised and thanks either way.

[edit]

I was wondering if this action could be performed to remove this wikitext reduncancy I've noticed time and time again on many articles.

It's to remove every instance of [[Serbian Orthodox Church|Serbian Orthodox]], [[Romanian Orthodox Church|Romanian Orthodox]], [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church|Bulgarian Orthodox]] and [[Russian Orthodox Church|Russian Orthodox]] on English WP and replace them with [[Serbian Orthodox]], [[Romanian Orthodox]], [[Bulgarian Orthodox]] and [[Russian Orthodox]] respectively.

There are like other similar ones regarding piped links to Greek Orthodox Church, Macedonian Orthodox Church, Polish Orthodox Church, Belarusian Orthodox Church, etc. Could these also likewise be trimmed similarly to the examples I gave above? Thanks in advance. 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 20:30, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bis-Serjetà?, bad idea per WP:COSMETICBOT. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:41, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't a bad idea (and it's definitely not a black and white issue). If you'd like to make these changes, feel free, but just make sure that you're also making a visible change to the article while you're at it. WP:COSMETICBOT even makes this suggestion "Such changes should not usually be done on their own, but may be allowed in an edit that also includes a substantive change." There are lots of ways to make the necessary substantive changes required like typo-fixing, changing hypens to en-dashes where appropriate, improving poor link choices, adjusting image placement. This list is quite large; just use your imagination and have an artistic sense about it. Dawnseeker2000 04:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, could a bot replace all links of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mongol_siege_of_Kaifeng&redirect=no with `Siege of Kaifeng (1232)` across Wikipedia? The page title was changed a while ago and I want to update all links accordingly. Thank you Shadow. 547 (talk) 18:50, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Shadow. 547:  Done, there are some links in User/Talk and links on DYK templates for example which I chose not to update though. ~ Rusty meow ~ 01:39, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
