[edit] About this page
This page is generated manually based on Bot output. It is a list of articles, with <ref> tags, but, no {{refs}}, {{reflist}}, {{reference}}, or, <references /> tags (or, similar...) Some articles may be fixed, most probably aren't. At the moment, I plan to run it whenever there is a new DB dump available.
[edit] Instructions
If you've checked over an article, and, it does not have the problem, please, remove it from the list, it's likely already been fixed. If you think it was due to an error, please, note so on the talk for this page.
If you see a problem, or, something I've missed, please, note it on the talk for this page.
If you think you can do this better, here's my source code. I'd invite anyone to modify and use it however they see fit. However, you may need my SxWiki PHP Wikibot framework, which, is not stable enough for release yet (Might have a SourceForge project soon). Please, contact me, if you want/need a copy, either by e-mail, or, on my talk page.
Hang on.... I've rewritten the bot to work from a DB dump (finally), and, it's going about 1000% faster now. I'll be posting the results shortly.
However, the last enwiki db dump was 8 AUG 2007, so, I've coupled the XML-checking bot, with my original bot, in order to simply "confirm" entries that it finds broken, in the nearly month-old dumps.
For example:
sxt40@Border:~/SxWiki$ wc -l xtfound 18519 xtfound
It found 18,519 before checking against the live wiki.
sxt40@Border:~/SxWiki$ wc -l foundarticles 16359 foundarticles
After checking the wiki, it found that only 16,359 were still broken, nearly a month later.
If you want, you can place SQL/Reflist cleanup project; [[User:SQL/Reflist|you can help!]] in your edit summary to help editors find this project.
If you can make this page, or, the lists look better, or, easier to use, please, feel free to do so. I'm more worried about fixing the articles, and, tweaking my script right now, so, both have been left rather spartan, for right now.
[edit] The List
This page was getting to be unmanageable, so, I've split the lists off to subpages, each with 3000 entries: User:SmackBot has done/is doing a test run on these articles. Most if not all should be fixed.
[edit] On other wikis
- Appx 100 articles with tags, but, no {{reflist}}.
[edit] On a wiki near you?
I'd like to do more of these. Unfortunately, I only speak english. If you'd like me to run a list for your WikiMedia-hosted wiki, please, let me know!
Here's what I need to know:
- Every similar template to {{reflist}} on your wiki.
- The names of all namespaces that you want excluded
- Someone or some bot, to actually fix the article :)
That's all! :)
