Discussion

• I don't see any issues with this task. Will general fixes be enabled? ~ Rob₁₃ 11:08, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.; prior to beginning please make sure the bot's userpage is up to date with what tasks are currently approved or not. Due to the prior confusions of being a very busy bot, please list any running tasks with links to the associated BRFA for the specific task. On edit summaries, include the task number and a link either to your task list on your user page or directly to this BRFA. This task should not also run unrelated edits to the specific function (such as AWB genfixes) - but may be expanded to also repair double https links as well as http if you want. — xaosflux 18:32, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Have you abandoned this task? — xaosflux 05:48, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Trial complete. , , , .

Permanent link. This month the list had only 11 pages. 2 more found by daily scan.

No general fixes performed. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:00, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. - please retrial, the edit summaries are broken, see above. — xaosflux 02:34, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Also please clean up User:Yobot as above. — xaosflux 02:35, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

xaosflux Check again. To avoid creating hundreds of redirects I'll create only those that their tasks are most likely to actually get approval. I created the appropriate redirect now so there is no red link. I use redirects to save some bytes from the edit summary. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:25, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

xaosflux I updated the list of tasks. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:30, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Interesting note: The edit that introduced the duplicated http was made 12 days earlier and nobody fixed it. This shows how important this task is. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:39, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Trial complete. Permanent link. This time I used a list created by my own regex. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:11, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Trial looks fine to me. I oppose making this task open-ended with any new fix casually related being added at a later date with no oversight. That's how we got here in the first place. I'd be fine if the stuff described below were coded and added now, with another trial to make sure they work properly. ~ Rob₁₃ 10:18, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

BU Rob13 technicsl tweaks are allowed to all bots. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:24, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Expanding a task is not a technical tweak. Technical tweaks are allowed. Entirely new fixes that are related but distinct are not. ~ Rob₁₃ 10:25, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Fixing dupe prefixes is not an entirely new task. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:34, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

In this task description you said "I will do A and I won't do B." If you then do B, that's a new task. Technical tweaks is fixing a bug, moving to a different programming language with the same function, tightening up the code so it runs faster, etc. ~ Rob₁₃ 10:36, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Potential expansions in the future

These are some random notes related to the task but not exactly part of the task:

The bot does not fix these since this is not a double prefix. I wonder if another bot could check for these. Nor fixes these . I wonder if this is worth for CHECKWIKI to add a check. I fixed both manually. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:51, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Another one that potentially could be fixed by bots but right now I find those manually: . -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:54, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

I usually find these by inspiration or by checking randomly hundreds of pages everyday. Then, I email some people. Since, it seems the community wants to get more involved I try to report these in the appropriate pages. I think that not every minor modification needs additional approval. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:56, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

There are many links that perhaps are OK or the result of InternetArchiveBot being broken back in November 2016. . deadurl=bot: unknown does not seem right to me. These need manual attention. I don't know how many they are. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:59, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
