Bot details

Here are some details and links about FrescoBot major tasks. If you have any doubt or suggestion you can contact me at User talk:Basilicofresco.

[edit]

FrescoBot fixes some types of broken links.

  • Images from the Geograph British Isles project contain very often broken links like "63716" (eg. [1]). These links should point to other images from the same project. FrescoBot finds the right filename and fixes the link. Eg.
    [[63716]] → [[:File:Gravelly Bottom Road - geograph.org.uk - 63716.jpg|63716]] (example)
  • The bot finds and tries to fix broken section wikilinks. It is important to note that even a simple case mismatch can break a section wikilink and these broken links will appear blue and not red. Case mismatches do not break the section wikilink only with Internet Explorer.
[edit]

Invalid characters

[edit]

Some characters are not allowed within page names but are present in few wikilinks and categories and cause problems. For example the misplaced invisible character U+200E (Left-to-right mark) inside links and categories creates problems with several tools.

Ps. In order to reduce the amount of affected pages, I suggest long time ago to filter out these pointless invisibile characters at least in the input box of tools like cat-a-lot and HotCat. [2] [3] -- Basilicofresco (msg) 07:19, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
