Might be interested in this. I can't imagine it'd take too long to knock up, just have to find the time. I'd probably be doing it in C#. --cfp 10:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How about the disambiguation of China?
It is not a disabmg page... --Skyfiler 19:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Sometimes, if all or most of the links refer to one meaning of the article name, it may make more sense to redirect the disambiguation page to that article, and perhaps set up a disambiguation block. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for more details. --Neo139 20:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CorHomo
Hi there ! Do you know the wonderful software CorHomo, created on frwiki by Escaladix ? Ok, go here : http://tools.wikimedia.de/~escaladix/corhomo/CorHomo-en.html . It works on the en.wikipedia as well. Have fun :-) 193.133.69.202 20:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks!! that is the program i was searching. I have tested it, its amazing. I edit the article adding the program description. I will expand it later.--Neo139 23:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Platform
A program like this needs to be ported to C. Unfortunately, Java's license is incompatible with those who use GNU/Linux systems. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yarou (talk • contribs) .
- Even if you use the GNU Java compiler? -- ReyBrujo 20:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I am considering a fixer based on Internet Explorer. CorHomo does not work on my PC--Skyfiler 16:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Help please: CorHomo faulting
My PC is a few years old and runs Windows 98. 2 days ago I downloaded CorHomo. The first time I called it, it ran. Every time after that, when I enter my English Wikipedia username and password, I click on "Identification", and I get an error window saying "Error: couldn't open socket: invalid argument.". If in that error window I click on "Details", I get this:-
couldn't open socket: invalid argument
couldn't open socket: invalid argument
while executing
"socket $host $port"
(procedure "http_get" line 61)
invoked from within
"http_get $wikiurl -query [http_formatQuery wpName $nomutf8 wpPassword $passutf8 wpRemember 1 wpLoginattempt Identification]"
(procedure "identify" line 10)
invoked from within
"identify "http://$langue.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&action=submitlogin""
("after" script)
and it refuses to run further. What's gone wrong? (This happens also in the early morning here in England when the WWW is quiet because most Americans are in bed because of the time zone difference.) Anthony Appleyard 09:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] not recognizing disambig pages
i'm using version 1.3.2 and it doesn't seem to be able to understand pages like this. Perhaps there needs to be something adjusted in how Corhomo reads pages? -Zappernapper 16:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have run up against the same problem. In your case, it seems that it doesn't recognize PP as a disamb page because of {{2CC}}. For me, REM has {{3CC}} and George Clinton has {{hndis}} and these don't appear to Corhomo as disamb pages. I'm not sure why, but I sure wish it weren't the case.--Fisherjs 15:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Only working on disambig pages?
Is there any reason at all to require mandatory recognition that the page is a disambig before operating on it? The tool looks very useful for working to repair links to the wrong page. (Ie, linking to Parliament instead of Parliament of the United Kingdom) --Barberio 14:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell there isn't a reason. If I understand you correctly you would load Parliament, look for pages in the left had side that should link to Parliament of the United Kingdom then use the tool to rectify this. However, this would only work if the Parliament page contained a link to the Parliament of the United Kingdom page. If you want to do this you have two options as far as I can tell.
- 1. Temporarily add {{disambig}} to the Parliament page. You would have to be quick though because someone would surely remove it. (Incidentally, this also fixes occurences of CorHomo not recognising a disambiguation page due to the use of {{disambiguation}}, {{Geodis}} or {{Hndis}})
- 2. Remove 3 lines of code from CorHomo to stop it checking for {{disambig}}.

[edit] NL
can someone make a version who also works with NL? - Warddr 15:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Problem with CorHomo - can the software be improved?
Using CorHomo, I twice inadvertantly replaced the entire contents of one page with those of another: [1] and [2]. If another user hadn't kindly pointed this out to me ([3]) I'd have never even known. On both occasions I'd had two instances of CorHomo running simultaneously, to speed things up. I'm sure it was my fault for clicking the wrong button at the wrong time, but I thought I'd mention it here in case the software could be improved to prevent this happening again. Has anyone else ever encountered this? I downloaded CorHomo on Jan 4, 2007. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 04:46, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
