Question from Scribe-called-Jalala (20:20, 12 March 2024)

Hi @Bsoyka, I have another somewhat relevant question -- when you find a wrong website is linked in a reference clearly by mistake (e.g., a link that goes to a different article from the one cited), it's not a link rot by the definition of the term. In this case, is there a stand-alone url-status parameter to indicate it, or are we supposed to set it to dead because rotten or wrong it doesn't give us the expected information either way? --Scribe-called-Jalala (talk) 20:20, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@Scribe-called-Jalala: Hey again! It depends on what the page links to now. If the page is now something completely inappropriate and the link should be disabled, use |url-status=unfit. If the entire domain is now completely inappropriate (similar to the last point but the entire website is an issue rather than just one page), use |url-status=usurped. If the URL is otherwise still live and leads to another viewer-appropriate page that no longer supports the article, use |url-status=deviated. For some more details, you can see Template:Citation Style documentation/url. Hope this helps! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 20:27, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, that page is greatly helpful. Let me ask you one more Q about this -- this may be a bit tricky example, but suppose someone cited a NYT article but wrongly inserted a WaPo article link by an apparently honest mistake, and both articles actually support the text substance-wise. Which url-status parameter would you use? None of them seems to exactly match. Obviously my question assumes we are still suppose to leave in the originally inserted wrong link in cases like this, but can we actually go in and replace a clearly wrong link with the right one in this case?
(And thank you so much for your mentorship!) Scribe-called-Jalala (talk) 20:57, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
@Scribe-called-Jalala: In that case, I wouldn't even worry about the |url-status= stuff. One of the core guidelines on Wikipedia is that you should be bold in your changes. Don't worry about trying to tag the URL somehow when you can fix the citation yourself! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 00:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Great, many thanks again! Scribe-called-Jalala (talk) 04:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bsoyka. I was wondering when BsoykaBot might be up and running again to replace the newest TWL proxy links? SportsGuy789 (talk) 21:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Snake Saturday

On 29 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Snake Saturday, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Missouri's annual Snake Saturday parade originally began in a hotel parking lot with only four floats? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Snake Saturday. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Snake Saturday), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Y17J19 (22:15, 29 March 2024)

Hi, I need help creating my own wiki page?! I used to be an international swimmer and seem to be the only on of that era that doesn’t have a page. Where do I start? --Y17J19 (talk) 22:15, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

@Y17J19: Hey there! To put it quite simply, I strongly recommend you don't. Please see here for some more information: Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects § Can I start an article about myself or my company? Bsoyka (t • c • g) 13:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Froggyloc on Draft:Flix Theaters and Brewhouse (13:04, 30 March 2024)

Hello there was no entry for this theater --Froggyloc (talk) 13:04, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

@Froggyloc: Hey there! Unfortunately, I think there are a few issues with your draft that likely won't allow it to pass a review and become an article. Namely, the content is written like an advertisement for the company (rather than a neutrally-worded description) and the text doesn't appear to be supported by reliable and independent sources.

BsyokaBot Task 2

Hi. Is there something you can do to the bot so that it does not make this kind of edit? I get replacing proxy links with non-proxy links for, e.g., the |url parameter in a citation reference. But not in a "(TWL link)" link, where the entire purpose of the link is to be a proxy link. I'd suggest limiting it to replacing links in citation templates and not elsewhere. Levivich (talk) 17:19, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

@Levivich: Hey! To be honest, I'm really not sure I see the need to include TWL links next to citations like this. Wouldn't this confuse readers, who wonder what "TWL" means and click the link only to receive a blocking login page? Also, the whole point of citation templates is to bring simplicity and consistency. If anything, I'd say this should be proposed as a change to citation templates to add a TWL link automatically in the citation rather than trying to accomplish this on a small subset of pages using inconsistent plain text next to references.
As I've described at User:BsoykaBot/Task 2, editors wishing to get quick access to TWL-provided resources can use something like the Zotero browser extension, which automatically redirects you to TWL resources while keeping references and links more oriented toward readers rather than editors.
Finally, as a note, you can technically stop BsoykaBot from editing a page by following the instructions at User:BsoykaBot § Excluding a page. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 13:39, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Bsoyka,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

Question from SoundCredit (11:41, 10 April 2024)

Hi Ben, I want to do a few things on Wiki, initially I wanted to edit an existing page (Age of Wonders 4 video game) to add a new entry for sound designer into the credits list, and to add my company name in there, which I did, but I do not see it updated on the page, so yeah, not sure what happened there... Also, linked to this, I wanted to add a new Wiki page for my company The Audio Guys, I started creating this in the Sandbox, but I can see no way of publishing it to the main wiki, maybe this is because I have only just created a wiki editor account.....not sure

Also, I am wondering how to add links into articles, is there some total beginners video or tutorial somewhere I could go through maybe...

Thanks for any help Dan --SoundCredit (talk) 11:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@SoundCredit: Hey! Please see the message on your talk page explaining why this draft has since been deleted, and why it may not be the best idea to write about yourself and your company here. Also, see Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects § Can I start an article about myself or my company?. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 21:37, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi @Bsoyka
Thanks for getting back to me on this.
I am a little disapointed that I seem unable to make any addtions or pages related to anything that I do or I have been involved with, not quite sure how people get their stuff added then, that is really strange. The Audio Guys company has done the sound design on 100s of different, very well known games over the last 20 years or so and yet there is no entry on the Wiki for the company, can you tell me how you get a company onto the Wiki then....I guess it is ok for larger companies to pay other people/PR firms to create the articles for them (Paid-contribution disclosure), so I guess that is how it id one.....that is a real shame :(
All I actually wanted to do was update the credits on this page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Wonders_4
As 'The Audio Guys' did the sound design on this project (and all of Triumph Studios previous games too) and I saw that there was actually no entry for sound design in the list of credits, so I created the new entry and added in the credit, and then I realised that The Audio Guys also do not have an entry on the Wiki at all, which I was surprised about, so I went on to add that page too, but I see now that this update of mine has also been deleted/not accepted, along with the new company page. So yeh again, that is a real shame that I cannot make adjustments to an article related to something that I actually worked closely on for years and know all about.
I actually find it strange that there are no entries for 'sound designer' on any of the game entries on the Wiki at all, yet there is every other disicpline listed there, like music composer, etc, but I guess you are saying that I cannot actually add a sound design entry anywhere on the Wiki because I am a sound designer myself, and it would need to be someone who is not a sound designer who adds sound design entries.....maybe?
Anyway, I doubt any of my words will make any difference to anything, but yeh, I am pretty disapointed that I cannot actually do anything on the Wiki now :( I can understand if you remove stuff that is not factually correct, or stuff that is promotional for a company or things like that, but that is not what I did at all, and it was not like I am trying to add anything that is not 100% true or that is in some way incorrect/biased, these are facts I am trying to enter, which is what I thought the Wiki was all about.
So, what would you suggest for me to try and get an entry for my company onto the Wiki then, do I have to pay a PR firm or marketer to add the entry for me, is this how it is done?
And also, how do you get new entries/fields added into a game credits lists ?
Thanks for your time 2A0A:5584:156:0:EC6C:7B60:F1F0:5E0 (talk) 10:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

SEO problem

Dear Bsoyka,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an ongoing concern regarding my Wikipedia page. Despite its creation over 100 days ago, the page has not appeared in Google search results. Even when searching for the full title of the page, I have been unable to locate it.

the continued absence of my Wikipedia page on Google search results is concerning. I am reaching out to seek further guidance on how to address this issue and ensure that the page gains visibility on Google.

I am grateful for your assistance in resolving this matter. I look forward to any insights or recommendations you may have to help address this visibility issue.

Thank you once again for your help and support.

Warm regards,

Ahoora
