How to stop the bot spamming me?

[edit]

Recently the bot seems to report some inconsequential errors to me rather than fix them. Can you stop the bot from doing this? (See my talk page). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:28, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Piotrus, there's instructions on the bot's user page to opt out. You can't opt out of specific errors, but I can add that if you want. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:40, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I think I will just opt out for now; I am sure your bot is doing a lot of useful things, but what it reports to me is stuff I consider unimportant (as in - not worth fixing, at least, not by human). YMVV of course. Cheers, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:32, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. The spamming of trivial errors means that I now ignore them. I suggest that you can retain valid attention by raising the bar of what is considered an error. I know there are editors who think that the formatting of dates is important. Good luck to them. Could they sign up to receive the trivial date formatting errors? Well done ... but less messaging please. Victuallers (talk) 08:59, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Since I am still subscribed to this, I'll add that what made me really surprised is why is the bot not fixing what seems like a rather simple error. Again, this trivial date formatting issue that the bot was spamming me is something that the bot should be fixing, not wasting human time with. (Anyway, I've now opted out of the errors of this type, which, once again, I don't consider worth my time to fix with, no offence meant). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:33, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Piotrus, Victuallers, it was @GoingBatty who asked me to add the error categories, I don't particularly have an opinion on the matter.
Again, this trivial date formatting issue that the bot was spamming me is something that the bot should be fixing. Some of the errors are errors because they're ambiguous, e.g. Special:Diff/1333717338 (YYYY-MM without DD) could be converted to Month YYYY automatically, but it's also possible the editor missed off the day when typing the date. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:39, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I see. However I agree, it is possible that they missed the accurate date by mistake, or I think more likely that is was recorded as "May" or "June". (More likely I've made a spelling or grammar error, but it would be counter productive to create a message for that too). I care enough to consider these things when I type them, but not to reconsider them every time I get a message. I suggest that you flag them and put them in a pile somewhere so that the date format enthusiasts can have a feast and leave messages to editors for more readable stuff. Good work, thank you. Victuallers (talk) 10:57, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I agree all errors are possible. In my case, I am pretty sure this is related to my occasional magazine citations, where I specify month and year (for monthly magazines, where no day date is available). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:12, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: Hi there! Yes, I asked Qwerfjkl to add more error categories to their bot, in the hopes that people will fix their own errors. You're correct that some of the notifications the bot sent you are for date formatting that a bot could easily fix, but we shouldn't count on bots to fix our mistakes. (Unfortunately, User:Citation bot is currently blocked.)
Also, even if a bot fixed the date format in your edits such as this one and this one, the citations would still need human intervention to change from {{cite book}} to {{cite magazine}}, enter the magazine article title in |title=, move the magazine name to |magazine= or |work=, and remove the date from the |title= field.
Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 15:20, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty Fair point. Any script or such that adds cite magazine and others (cite encyclopedia, etc.) to Visual Editor interface? I'd use them if they were there, but usually I just forget about them because they are not in the menu :( Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:10, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: I don't know of a script that could look at a magazine in Google Books and NOT use {{cite book}}. GoingBatty (talk) 04:39, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty Most magazines I use are not in google books (recently I link to IA a lot). I think the default VE script gives me cite web usually, although I also see cite book used; both are of course not ideal, sigh. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:04, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: The two edits I provided above were indeed "archive.org". I apologize for writing "Google Books" instead. GoingBatty (talk) 23:00, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Incursion et arrestation de mineurs à Ghdeir Al-Bustan, Syrie – province de Quneitra 16/2/2026

[edit]

Quneitra – Le 16 février 2026, une force composée de six véhicules tout-terrain de l’armée israélienne a pénétré dans le village de Ghdeir Al-Bustan, situé dans la province de Quneitra, Syrie, et a arrêté deux adolescents résidents du village. Selon la mère des adolescents, Hayam Al-Arian, les forces ont investi la maison à 2 heures du matin, armées et accompagnées de chiens policiers. Les chiens se sont jetés sur les adolescents et leur mère, causant des blessures au visage et aux mains. Les adolescents ont ensuite été emmenés dans les zones contrôlées par l’armée israélienne, laissant un sentiment de peur et d’angoisse parmi la famille et les habitants du village. Leur sort reste inconnu au moment de la rédaction de ce rapport. Des sources locales indiquent que les forces de l’ANDOUF ont rendu visite à la famille et écouté leurs déclarations, mais n’ont pris aucune mesure jusqu’à présent, augmentant le mécontentement des habitants. Cette incursion s’inscrit dans un contexte de tension continue dans la province de Quneitra, où les forces israéliennes ont occupé plusieurs points stratégiques après la chute de l’ancien régime et ont établi des positions militaires. Les habitants appellent désormais le nouveau gouvernement à intervenir pour mettre fin à ces incursions répétées et sécuriser la région. Aldaaer Ismail (talk) 00:31, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Arrest of Minors in Ghdeir Al-Bustan, Quneitra Province, Syria – 16 February 2026 Quneitra, Syria – 16 February 2026

[edit]

In the early hours of 16 February 2026, a force consisting of six Israeli military off-road vehicles entered the village of Ghdeir Al-Bustan in Quneitra province, southern Syria, and detained two teenage residents of the village. According to the mother of the adolescents, Hayam Al-Arian, the forces raided their home at approximately 2:00 a.m. The soldiers were reportedly armed and accompanied by police dogs. During the raid, the dogs allegedly attacked the two teenagers and their mother, causing injuries to their faces and hands. The two minors were subsequently taken to areas under Israeli military control. As of the time of writing, their whereabouts and legal status remain unknown, raising serious concerns among their family and the local community. Local sources report that personnel from the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) visited the family and recorded their testimonies; however, no further action has been taken to date, contributing to growing frustration among residents. This incident occurs amid ongoing tensions in Quneitra province, where Israeli forces have reportedly occupied several strategic locations following the collapse of the former regime and established military positions in the area. Local residents are calling on the new government to intervene to halt repeated incursions and to ensure security and stability in the region.

Question from Sanahalon (22:00, 19 February 2026)

[edit]

Hallo Qwerfjkl, I have question about how can I edit article which I cannot edit because I'm not a professional user of Wikipedia. I want to add to English Wikipedia some text, first, it's about veganuary it's has 30 million people who did vegan diet for a month this year, second it's two study, how I did see well good, it is https://sentienceinstitute.org/animal-farming-attitudes-survey-2017, https://www.fooddive.com/news/survey-most-consumers-like-meat-slaughterhouses-not-so-much/515301/ and this https://sentienceinstitute.org/aft-survey-2020.

Can I ask someone who is a professional editer on Wikipedia to add this information, or what can I do to get at least polylogue that will continue this information to get into English version of article about veganism. At least the first study seems good and long(2017-2021 - 4 year and 1,100 participants from different backgrounds) I will hear any criticism if you see it in article's. Wait for your answer. --Sanahalon (talk) 22:00, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sanahalon, most editors on Wikipedia are not "professionals"; there are very few people who are actually paid to edit Wikipedia. The article in question, Veganism, requires you to have 10 edits and an account 4 or more days old.
With respect to your changes, you can make an edit request on the talk page - there should be a button if you attempt to edit the article. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:44, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sanahalon (talk) 01:57, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2026-09

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • Reference Check has been deployed to English Wikipedia, completing its rollout across all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers to add a citation before publishing new content, helping reduce common citation-related reverts and improve verifiability. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web. [1]

Updates for editors

  • The InterwikiSorting extension, which allowed for the sorting of interwiki links, has been undeployed from Wikipedia. As a result, editors who had enabled interwiki link sorting in non-compact mode (full list format) will now see links reordered. The links moving forward will be listed in the alphabetical order of language code. [2]
  • Later this week, people who are editing a page-section using the mobile visual editor, will notice a new "Edit full page" button. When tapped, you will be able to edit the entire article. This helps when the change you want to make is outside the section you initially opened. [3][4]
  • The Reader Experience team is inviting editors to assess whether dark mode should still be considered "beta" on their wiki, based on their experience of how well it functions on desktop and mobile. If the feature is deemed mature, editors can update the interface messages in MediaWiki:skin-theme-description and MediaWiki:Vector-night-mode-beta-tag to indicate that dark mode is ready and no longer considered beta.
  • The improved Activity tab which displays user-insights is now available to all users of the Wikipedia iOS app (version 7.9.0 and later). Following earlier A/B testing that showed higher account creation among users with access to the feature, it has been rolled out to 100% of users along with some updates. The Activity tab now shows your edited articles in the timeline, offers editing impact insights like contribution counts and article view trends, and customization options to improve in-app experience for users.
  • Recurrent item View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug that prevented DiscussionTools from working on mobile has now been fixed, restoring full functionality. [5]

Updates for technical contributors

  • The Global Watchlist lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The extension that makes this possible continues to improve. The latest upgrade is the inclusion of a new hook, ext.globalwatchlist.rebuild, which fires after each watchlist rebuild. This allows you to run gadgets and user scripts for the Special page. [6]
  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Question from ChrisSheehyCUDA (16:43, 25 February 2026)

[edit]

I've made edits as suggested - and submitted earlier this week and the draft is now having some unproductive dialog - I'd appreciate your review and recommendations. I've responded to someone on the Talk page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Search_everywhere_optimization --ChrisSheehyCUDA (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

ChrisSheehyCUDA, you previously asked me about this at User talk:Qwerfjkl/Archive 74#Question from ChrisSheehyCUDA (02:08, 26 January 2026). You seem to rely heavily on AI for writing the article, which is causing issues in the tone (and possibly references too; I haven't looked). — Qwerfjkltalk 19:55, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Please read my Talk comments and tell me specifically, and with examples & citations, how I've used AI in a way that violates Wikipedia's guidelines.
I'm not denying that I used AI, but please explain the reasons for rejecting my submission for an important post. I chose to create this on Wikipedia over Wikidata, and have invested in learning the nuances of the platform, but the unsubstantiated flak is becoming more trouble than it's worth. ChrisSheehyCUDA (talk) 20:07, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
ChrisSheehyCUDA, I will give you a few examples of issues in your draft:
  • § History and development - this timeline is almost entirely unnecessary because it addresses SEO for most of it.
  • The article is full of jargon "mobile-first indexing", "multi-platform approach", "multiple discovery environments" - the draft is quite hard to understand because of it.
  • A lot of the references appear to be low quality guides to the subject of the draft - [7], [8]
— Qwerfjkltalk 14:17, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwerfjkl I appreciate the constructive feedback.
  1. The History and development section illustrates how Search Everywhere Optimization (SEvO) is an iterative evolution of traditional SEO, and as a practitioner, I see that context as essential to describing the value of SEvO. For the purpose of getting this published, I’m willing to delete or significantly shorten it – but that would only be to satisfy your lack of familiarity with the topic and may not serve Wikipedia readers who discover this page from an organic search.
  2. Your lack of understanding of the topic is also leading you to interpret the wording as jargon – quite possibly in the same way I struggle with the nuances of Wikipedia's own jargon. I would recommend either taking into account my 29 years’ experience (including university‑level instruction on SEO) or conducting your own independent research. The terms you singled out are commonplace in my industry. To be fair, much of this page’s subject matter may not make sense to you, just as the content at Rock (geology) - Wikipedia would not make sense to someone without a geology background, yet it is still of value to the reader. And was reviewed and published. If you lack the technical understanding of this topic to critique it meaningfully, I’d ask that you either publish the article in good faith or reassign it to another editor.
  3. Regarding your “low quality guides” examples: SEMrush [https://www.semrush.com/blog/search-everywhere-optimization/] has been one of the most authoritative media outlets for the digital marketing industry globally for as long as I can remember. Full disclosure: I’ve also been published on their platform – it is, in our field, a blue‑chip source. The same applies to Neil Patel [https://neilpatel.com/blog/search-everywhere-optimization/]. I interpret these callouts, like points 1 and 2, as reflecting a lack of knowledge of the topic, not a strong policy‑based argument against publishing the article.

ChrisSheehyCUDA,
The terms you singled out are commonplace in my industry. Er, yes, that's what jargon is.
If you lack the technical understanding of this topic to critique it meaningfully, I’d ask that you either publish the article in good faith or reassign it to another editor. I have no intention of reviewing the article, nor have I done so in the past. EatingCarBatteries declined it when you first submitted it for review. It is not assigned to me in any way. But articles on Wikipedia should be comprehensible to the layperson, not to subject experts. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:36, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@EatingCarBatteries - kindly reassess this article and Talk points for the corrective actions taken. TY kndly.
@Qwerfjkl - that geological article I shared is far from layperson understandings. Not a solid argument. If you're unable to approve - this conversation has regrettably, been mis-targeted at my own lack of understanding of the process. TY - wish you the best.

KweenE18, you should just omit |date=. But that aside, it's not clear what your reference is supporting - there is no statement before it for it to verify. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:57, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There was a hyphen in major-general and other such ranks until the 1990s. So officers who held the rank before that date should have one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:35, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Drahtlos, well, the problem is actually that the access date is before the publication date. This link says "Information received by 13 February 2026", where am I missing 1 March? — Qwerfjkltalk 17:56, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ModernMusicForFunerals (06:02, 28 February 2026)

[edit]

Hello there!

I wish to create a page for my professional artist name.

I am a music producer releasing music under the name of Modern Music for Funerals.

For the sake of preservation and participation in Wikipedia, I wish to create a page that outlines my background, production style and genre. The page would also list my releases, inspirations and other areas of interest.

Is this something I can do on Wikipedia.

My catalogue is listed on Apple Music, Spotify and all other streaming platforms.

I hope this finds you well and thank you for reading.

Best wishes

Vijethnbharadwaj, for the 7th reference "First General Elections in Coorg-1951 …remembering the first Parliament Elections", you used |last=author. You should instead use |last=Ganapathy and add |first=Shanthi, because the author is Shanthi Ganapathy. — Qwerfjkltalk 14:33, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sekur17 (15:16, 28 February 2026)

[edit]

Hey, I'm planning to edit my first page and I came across the page about Vatan ve Hürriyet which was a secret society founded by Mustafa Kemal. I found this page through the stub tags but the sources on this topic are extremely limited and the only reliable source seems like the book I'm reading, Atatürk by Lord Kinross which briefly mentions this (which is why I picked this topic). The book itself was published in 1964 which makes it pretty outdated but it was written by a very reliable author and the whole society was back in the 1900s so I don't know how much it matters. So I am a little confused about if this is a good source or should I pick another topic. Thanks! --Sekur17 (talk) 15:16, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sekur17, there is no problem if a source is old (unless the inforamtion is outdated, of course). The source seems good to me. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:42, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Qwerfjkl (bot) on main space

[edit]

Bot generally send CS1 error notice on user talk, but see this edit where bot send notice on article mainspace.––KEmel49(📝,📋) 18:30, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This was probably some sort of database update issue. Sunnymachocho moved their entire user talk page to article space, triggering all sorts of messes. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:46, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
However bot managed to put notice while it was on mainspace.––KEmel49(📝,📋) 18:51, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
True. As I said, the bot was probably working from a stale database cache or mirror. The page ID for the User talk page went with the page when it was erroneously moved to article space. This is an extreme edge case that was highly unlikely to happen. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:07, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
