DateOfBirth and DateOfDeath fields

Do you think we could modify AWB to obtain info from human categories from Infobox college coach as I did here? Infobox college coach has more than 3,000 tranclusions. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:55, 1 February 2010 (UTC) ...or we could find a way to change dates in these fields (and other similar ones) in order to use {{birth date and age}} -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:23, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

rev 6145 to allow that casing of date of birth and death field names; criteria for IsArticleAboutAPerson will remain the same. Rjwilmsi 20:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

You are great! Thanks! -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:35, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Ecuador

Hi. I need your assistance. Can you rename all of those sub cats (Except Bolivar) in Category:Provinces of Ecuador which have an unneccessary .,Ecuador on the end to the simple naming. So instead of Category:Manabí Province, Ecuador it would become simply Category:Manabí Province. I and Ser Amantio have tackled a few already but all of the empty categories afterwards which have ,Ecuador on the end need deleting like Category:Azuay Province, Ecuador etc as that has alreayd been done. Once thats done, can you go through the province articles e.g Azuay Province and correct the canton links in the articles from (canton) to Canton. Admittedly I am uncertain as to whether or not they should be capitalized. In fact I think they should probably be ... (canton). If you agree, then leave those links and move all the articles to (canton) instead but be sure to correct the existing links and names in the articles and also the navigation template.

What naming looks right to you Nabón Canton or Nabón (canton). Peronsally I am thinking it would be best to move them to the latter one. Any thoughts?

Also the current naming for the Cantons of Costa Rica is capitalised and for Venezuelan municpalities is .... Municipality too. I think the naming would be better (municipality) for Venezuela too like the Mexican ones... I think Province and District is capitals looks right but not for canton and municipality, any thoughts on this too? ‡ Himalayan ‡ ^ΨMonastery 11:52, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Ibid

We need Ibid above Reflist and not under it. This is the common practice as I checked. I'll add a note on its manual.

Now my idea on Ibid: Ibid refers to the reference right above. We could obtain this info that create the reference. Of course not in all cases but in some easy cases. For example if "Ibid" is alone then we copy the last reference of name the tags and merge them into one. This will need a lot of tests in the beginning but I think it can work in many cases.

PS I ll probably update this message as soon as I have more feedback

-- Magioladitis (talk) 10:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Disagree with ibid fix approach: references could be added to the article in the meantime, meaning ibid does not refer to closest previous reference. I rather think they will require manual fixing from somebody who knows the article. Rjwilmsi 10:39, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Ibid should already be going to top of references section. The article you link to is a bad one given the spurious <references> Rjwilmsi 10:54, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok. I agree with you then :) I'll check the talk header thing later today too. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:23, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Syria-Lebanon Campaign - clean up deprecated citation parameters using AWB

With this change, you moved an issue number (Vol. 32 No. 7) from the Volume field to the issue field (i.e. |issue=7)however, there already was an issue field (with the date of the magazine (|issue=July 1970), so the issue number went missing - is there any workaround for this? Pehaps putting both the issue number and name in the same issue field?Nigel Ish (talk) 19:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I updated the article to put the month and year in the |month= and |year= fields respectively. Rjwilmsi 22:51, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Headers

It works fine. ([1] and tenths more). A little vulnerable to vandalism attacks ([2]. I tried to add header where the vandalism was). -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:37, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

rev 6204 Bugfix – will help for that. Rjwilmsi 13:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

• I think it's better to have an empty line before the header and the text to come immediately after the header [3]

rev 6205. Rjwilmsi 14:03, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

• TOC can cause problems: [4]

rev 6206 Fixed. Rjwilmsi 14:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

-- Magioladitis (talk) 13:47, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I ran with rev 6217. This and this (it added header inside archive box) shouldn't happen. Any ideas? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:23, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

rev 6221 Another fix. Rjwilmsi 09:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
