[edit] Template:*mp3

I just changed two instances of {{*mp3}} to {{*mp}}. As you will see, {{*mp3}} doesn't exist, while {{*mp}} does. I imagine this was a mere error, and you might have had MP3s on your mind at the time. :)
There were a few other peculiarities that I saw, but I decided against changing them, as they were probably what you intended. Still, this bot is a good idea, in my opinion, even if just as a precaution. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 02:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I could swear Did You Know used to say mp3, but you're right, it says mp now. Thank you. Art LaPella 02:26, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dab

The dab checks would be very useful indeed. I always have the "Threshold for stub link formatting:" in my userprefs set to 1000 to more easily spot these by hand. For a bot, it might be good to look at which checks popups does for finding dab pages, because it seems to have a good working list of the templates these days... --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

If I direct the programmer to your comment, perhaps he/she will speak the same language. I found the "Threshold..." and set it to 1000, but it doesn't seem to do anything, and neither does its included link to "stub link". Glad you like my idea in general. Art LaPella 20:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Update: Oooh, "stub link formatting" works! Art LaPella 05:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Nice, isn't it? :-) Mine is set to 4000, which is about right for the sort of things I want to spot. Carcharoth 20:53, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
