User:SuperHamster/CiteUnseen/Changelog

August 2, 2023

• Adding and updating domains per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.
• If a source is detected to be marginally reliable, generally unreliably, deprecated, or blacklisted, then the source cannot also be tagged as generally reliable or "multi". This is helpful in cases where certain paths of websites have separate ratings.

August 1, 2023

• Added ability for users to add their own domain and string categorizations using new cite_unseen_additional_domains and cite_unseen_additional_strings configuration options (see updated configuration documentation).
• Fixed and improved citation capturing.

• Added new satire and sponsored categories, as suggested by User:137a.
• Added ability to ignore domains per category (see updated configuration documentation).
  • Since we now have multiple configuration options, the cite_unseen_rules config is now called cite_unseen_categories. Script is still backwards-compatible with the old name.
• Reworked script to match domains using a regular expression. While more complex, this will more accurately capture domains while reducing false positives.
• Prior to checking domain categories, the script now filters the full list of domains into just those that appear on the page. This saves a decent amount of runtime on pages with many citations, especially with the increased complexity of the new regular expression checks.
• Script will now capture bundled references. Previously, when a citation had multiple references in it, CiteUnseen would only capture the top-level one.
• Script will now capture bare link references. Previously, the script would only account for references that use a cite template.
• Added numerous domains across several categories, as suggested by User:137a (see list here).
• The Guardian links are now categorized as generally reliable instead of multi, as suggested by User:Isochrone. The Guardian was being marked as multi because WP:RSP has separate ratings based on whether the articles are blogs/opinions. Opinions and blog posts are captured with "theguardian.com/commentisfree" and "/blog/", which help capture those concerns.
• Wrapped script in a function to avoid any potential conflicts with other scripts.
• Script will now run if the user's custom rules page fails to load. Previously, if the network call failed for any reason, the script would stop.

• Splitting Bloomberg domain into two categories, per WP:RSP. Profiles (bloomberg.com/profile) are marginally reliable, while the rest of the domain is generally reliable.
• Removing dailymail.com from deprecated sources. While dailymail.com redirects to dailymail.co.uk (which is) deprecated, the domain used to belong to the Charleston Daily Mail newspaper.
• Fixed some domain listings and removed duplicates.

• Added TV+radio programs categorization.
• New icon for state works. The previous icon was easily mistaken for the Internet Archive logo.
• Journal citations can no longer be marked as government sources. This is to prevent false positives for non-government journals being hosted on government sites, such as PubMed.
• Removed leftover Media Bias/Fact Check data that wasn't being used.
• Optimized icons.

Removed Media Bias/Fact Check categorizations for conspiracy, pseudoscience, and questionable sources. This is due to concerns about reliability, and it unduly influencing decisions on Wikipedia. Other categorizations (WP:RSP and advocacy) help fill the gap left here.

Additional domains for tabloids, press sites, and social media.

If a source is using Template:Cite book, it will only receive the book icon. This is primarily to prevent books that have a link to an Amazon listing from being marked as generally unreliable (due to Amazon being generally unreliable per WP:RSP).

Support for customization: users can now toggle which icons they do or don't want to see.

Addition of new categories:

• advocacy, primarily derived from official site links from articles in Category:Advocacy groups
• predatory journals
• Perennial sources categories: generally reliable, marginally reliable, generally unreliable, deprecated, and blacklisted

The biased categorization based on Media Bias/Fact Check data has been removed, in favor of the new advocacy and perennial sources categories.
