Discussion

[edit]

@Ingenuity: References #2 and #6 have a version of the work/website in the |title= parameter. Could the bot remove this redundancy? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 05:26, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's pretty simple - I'll just split the title by the | character. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 12:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great. By the way,@Ingenuity: please note that one of the examples is using the New York Post (classified as Generally Unreliable source), I don't know if it is just an example, or the website is into the list the code is using. Cheers. Alexcalamaro (talk) 07:07, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The NYP is on the list of sources. It doesn't really matter if it's reliable or not, though, since the bot is just filling in the citations, not adding them. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 13:34, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (100 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Primefac (talk) 08:44, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete.. See here. A couple minor glitches, but I've fixed them now. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 14:50, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
