CS1 error on Selby Abbey
Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Selby Abbey, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 18:58, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Selby Abbey
There was an edit war on Selby Abbey over an unsourced list of abbots, vicars, and organists who do not meet notability. Added by a self-admitted COI. Most of them now appears sourced, but notability... Do you think it should remain or the non-notable, unsourced removed? Seems like NOTDIRECTORY also would apply. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 19:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- I think in articles lists like this are useful and there is no point in every entry having an article as that would sometimes make the list incomplete. Lots of articles have lists where not every entry is notable, such as club manages. I often find NOTDIRECTORY gets used too often just to remove things that people do not like. Keith D (talk) 19:54, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply! I guess we'll leave it at that. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 20:24, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Stephen Hammond
Hi there! In your recent edit to Stephen Hammond, your edit to tweak the dashes broke a comment in a reference. Was that a typo you made or a bug in the script that should be reported to Ohconfucius? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 17:27, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- @GoingBatty: It is a problem with the script, it is the first time I have created the problem, but have fixed numerous times. Unsure if Ohconfucius has knowledge of the problem. Keith D (talk) 17:36, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- OK, I'll report it to Ohconfucius - thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 18:09, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

- Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [8][9]
- Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [10]
Future changes
- There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
- The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

Article talk page rating
Hi @Keith D. In this edit you added a class parameter to the WikiProject Yorkshire template after a previous edit by me removed the parameter. But in my edit, I inserted "class=start" to the WPBS template, which added these three categories to the talk page: Start-Class Yorkshire articles, Mid-importance Yorkshire articles, WikiProject Yorkshire articles. Inserting that parameter into the WPBS template automatically adds all relevant WikiProject categories. Perhaps the tool you're using to identify instances where this WikiProject template lacks class parameters might need an update to identify the parameter in the WPBS. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 19:04, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- I would rather have the rating left in the project banner. I am considering opting out if the removals continue and the class is not displayed on the project line. Keith D (talk) 19:11, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- I usually move the class parameter to the WPBS because it's a neater way to rate articles using User:Evad37/rater. If I leave the parameter in that specific template, the ratings' style would appear inconsistent in source code. Sorry about the trouble. Nythar (💬-🍀) 07:56, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
