make WP:TRADEPUBLICATION and WP:TRADEPUB, they have an incestuous relation with industry

Could User:Polygnotus/Scripts/ExternalLinkMonitor use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/1048

Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists

Write stub for The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire

DESIRED OUTCOME: At this end of this discussion, I would like to see consultancy.org added to the Perennial sources table reflecting the consensus reached here. — ERcheck (talk) 17:17, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
I would oppose that, see WP:RSPIS, WP:RSPNOT and WP:RSPCRITERIA. The RSP is for sources that have been perennially discussed, that is they have been repeat major discussions about a source. It only meant to be a limited list.
This is a similar situation to WP:RSN#The CEO Magazine, there's some discussion there about different ways sites like this could be catalogued. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:22, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Sure, but then why not have a list of sources that the consensus says should not be used.

Idea: AIlog but better

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fermiboson/AIlog/source-code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fermiboson/AIlog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing I was thinking of making it AI-provider independent by abstracting that away, and throwing in a nice UI where people can rate. Make it model-agnostic, make a simple interface with yes/no, and then make it work for new articles, not just edits. Maybe talk to Gnomingstuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gnomingstuff/AI_experiment Maybe throw in some tests like Stack Overflow does: drop a few test questions in there so you can quietly discard those who answer them wrong. If we add buttons, then you can keep track of stats and check hit rates.

Idea: edit filters without edit filters. Edit filters are limited in various boring ways because they have to make decisions near-instantly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/Documentation#Condition_limit It's like a giant if-then tree, and you can't put too many expensive IFs in there. So I was thinking: what if we make something that follows the EventStream? Then we can do our own edit filtering with blackjack and hookers. We can put the output in userspace and even notify people who opted in. So people would be like "I want to keep track of edits that meet this characteristic" and would then get a list or a ping.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Polygnotus/Scripts/ListGenerator.js can replace User:Polygnotus/Scripts/CategoryToClipboard

There is a wide gap between what "normal" people can do on Wikipedia and what nerds can do.

If you have User:Polygnotus/Scripts/CategoryToClipboard and a hypothetical script that turns search results into a similar list then you can use that as a listgenerator for JWB

It probably shouldn't update the archive link, but then there is a discrepancy between the links and their archived versions.

Is there a Java example somewhere for running a Quarry query and doing something with the output? If not in Java then perhaps in JS? Ideally without hosting code on Toolforge. I have Java code that can log in and do the oAuth stuff; but I am not sure how to proceed from there. Polygnotus (talk) 22:31, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

@Polygnotus, You can query the database using PAWS with a Python script and manipulate the results in any format. Please let me know if you need any help with the Python script. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:21, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Interface

  1. Tool should have buttons for [<<previous fuw] [<previous typo] [next typo>] [next fuw>>]
  2. it should have stats how many skipped how many fixed
  3. it should have [add to blacklist] button which blacklists the typo? the article? the FUW?
  4. it should be possible to add templates like {{as written}} and {{quote}} and the like <------I should make a list of these
  5. it could have a form and a button where you can report that something should be excluded but no regex has been written for it yet

"Inspiration"

edit
  • In the AWB source code in /WikiFunctions/WikiRegexes.cs there are the regexes to exclude matches based on chkIgnoreLinks and chkIgnoreMore (top left of the "Find & Replace" window).
    • chkIgnoreLinks: Ignore external/interwiki links, images, nowiki, math and <!-- -->
    • chkIgnoreMore: Ignore templates, refs, link targets and headings
  • Read Wikipedia:Typo_Team/moss sourcecode and documentation

Blacklisting/Whitelisting

edit

Moss is pretty interesting.

Perhaps ask here what the best approach is. Parse a dump, run a query, whatever.

Wikipedia:Typo_Team/moss#How_the_lists_are_made says:

  • Words that appear in titles in the English Wiktionary (which has definitions of all words in all languages, excluding proper nouns and systematic words like chemical names and large numbers)
  • Words that appear in titles in the English Wikipedia (which explains some things that don't appear in the dictionary)
  • Words that appear in titles in the Wikispecies (which has many technical words that don't appear in the dictionary or encyclopedia)

but I think I should also check out:

wikidata:

Titles

Allow people to easily judge the reliability of sources

edit
  • Make a API with 5 endpoints
    1. voteup
    2. votedown
    3. trustedvoteup (which would count for, lets say, +5 votes)
    4. trustedvotedown (ditto, but -5)
    5. list
  • Make a javascript that:
    1. adds up and down arrows to each source. Click the up arrow to vote that a source is reliable, down arrow for unreliable.
    2. colors the source a shade of green or red depending on the amount of amount of up or downvotes if there are more than x up or downvotes
    3. Shows how many ratings this source has.
  • Give the trusted people the ability to authenticate to the API and then rate sources.

I already made a list of the top 10.000 most often referenced domains, I could use that to make a table sorted by number of occurences where people can easily rate them.

Duplicate References

edit
  • User:Polygnotus/Scripts/ReferenceHighlighter.js does highlight the [1]'s when you click one of them but not the a b c in the reflist. Fix that and then add it to duplicate references. If I click one duplicate reference I want all others to be highlighted so I can easily see where a source is re-used.

Toolhub

edit

Identical references

edit

Also detecting CS1 and CS2 errors by bot. I think the REST API was the most viable solution. Maybe transforms?

Google Books

edit

Diff CSS

edit
  • I had a trick to ensure Diff CSS got loaded iirc but then I forgot. It wasn't in chunk0, nor in the links to the chunks... Adding ?diff=0 does work but I had a more elegant solution iirc. User:Polygnotus/hmm?diff=0
    • Or was it just that I added the CSS in the HTML version. If so, I should inline it in the wikicode version.

For the record banning "equitableness" may be a good idea because it is annoying to pronounce and there are plenty of synonyms like "fairness".


This will return "valid" or "invalid". Script error: The function "isValid" does not exist.

This will return just "10.1000/xyz123" if valid, or an error message if invalid. Script error: The function "normalize" does not exist.
