Advisor script apparently added Please check ISBN template incorrectly

[edit]

See this edit, in which the script may have recommended an incorrect placement of the {{Please check ISBN}} template. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:52, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn’t always work

[edit]

Advisor.js seems to only work every once in a while for me. The text and links at the top don’t always show up. Even if there’s nothing wrong with an article, the text saying that there’s nothing wrong doesn’t always show up either. Refreshing the page a few times works but has to be repeated for every page.

Stop futzing with headings

[edit]

This script needs to stop monkeying with headings (==Heading== versus == Heading ==). Neither style is prescribed, and it's against both MOS:STYLEVAR and WP:BOTPOL and WP:ArbCom decisions and WP:AWB rules (which are apt to be interpreted as applying to AWB-alikes) to automate or semi-automate pointless changes to optional styles. All it does is lead to disputes, and trigger people's watchlists again and again and again for utter trivia. Just this week alone we've had two WP:ANI cases and a big flareup at WT:MOS, spilling over into WP:VPPOL, and back about mass-edits to optional style. It's a problem. Please do not contribute to it any further. If there's not an MoS rule (or other guideline or policy rule) entirely in favor of one style/spelling/capitalization/punctuation/whatever option versus another one, no tool like this should change it.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  11:47, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Advisor is breaking certain image files.

[edit]

Hello, @PC-XT! The script is working great, but it is placing wiki code into image file names that contain hyphens, causing them to turn into red links. Here are two examples that I fixed: Special:Diff/1159843421 and Special:Diff/1159844616. If there is some way to cause the script to skip over image file names when scanning for hyphens, then that would make things much easier. Most image file names don't contain a hyphen, but a few of them do, and those would be the ones that would be affected by this. Huggums537 (talk) 05:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
