Bot conversion of blog citations inappropriately conflates posts and comments

Noticed that {{Cite canon change/Bleakbridge}} and File:Curtain Call Player's Guide.png both now use the same web citation template, Facts:Paizo_blog/v5748dyo6v5gb, which appeared in Category:Pages with errors as having combined the former citing a James Jacobs comment and the latter citing the blog post itself. (revision 543506).

The distinction is significant, but by stripping the comment's anchor from the URL and combining both citations into a single template, the automatic conversion has removed the ability to distinguish between the two and cite Jacobs's comment correctly or precisely. It's unclear how this can be reconciled, except by reverting the blog conversion of {{Cite web}} on {{Cite canon change/Bleakbridge}} or avoiding using a citation template at all in that situation. -Oznogon (talk) 23:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Damn, I was not aware that only an anchor is used to refer to comments on blog posts. That is certainly a big issue. I will go through all the changes that replaced links with an anchor tag and find a solution for this. Probably by writing them as {{Cite/Paizo blog/v5748951foev2|anchor=9}}? Is the list given by you only a selection of cases or exhaustive? Virenerus (talk) 00:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I just finished going through all of the new blog citation templates that were in Category:Pages with errors, and the above list is all of the affected templates I encountered in that category. I don't know if that's a fully comprehensive list. -Oznogon (talk) 01:03, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I went through all changes made by the replacement that changed a # and reverted all that were anchors. The citation template can't be used to refer to comments as probably the author is also different. Virenerus (talk) 02:26, 12 December 2024

Thanks for handling these exceptional cases. This effort is a great help, and fixing the other conflicts often led to corrections for several citations that had other issues. -Oznogon (talk) 19:57, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Template:Cite/Paizo_blog/v5748dyo5lccl seems broken. It is a template page but contains a facts template. Virenerus (talk) 01:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I've moved it to Facts:Paizo blog/v5748dyo5lccl. -Oznogon (talk) 01:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

{{Cite web}} with multiple authors generates errors

Invoking {{Cite web}} with more than one wikitext link in the authors field causes a Semantic MediaWiki warning icon to appear on the rendered output. The icon's tooltip:

Property "Web author" (as page type) with input value "First Author]] and [[Second Author" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.

For example:

{{Cite web |author=[[First Author]] and [[Second Author]]}}

First Author and Second Author. [{{{url}}} {{{title}}}].

Multiple authors are frequently cited for blog posts as used in {{File}} for images. For an example, see File:Welcome to the Convocation.png.

This was a temporary artefact of the cite web changes within the semantic data initiative Virenerus (talk) 00:52, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Semantic infobox series category issues on PFS 1E scenarios

PFS 1E scenarios had series entries like "Season 1 scenarios" that linked to Category:Season 1 scenarios, but I assume an infobox template was autocategorizing them into Category:Season 1 scenarios scenarios instead. In an attempt to fix this, I changed the "Season 1 scenarios" values on the Facts pages to "Season 1", etc., expecting them to recategorize either to Category:Season 1 scenarios, etc., or for those with redirects to named seasons, to categorize them using the season name like Category:Year of the Stolen Storm scenarios.

But now the infobox isn't autocategorizing them by season at all, and I'm not sure where that logic is anymore. Any ideas? I can revert the facts changes if necessary. -Oznogon (talk) 17:20, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

It would be nice if you could revert the facts changes. Right now the autocategorization is a bit in limbo, as I am currently overhauling some backend things, including the autocategorization of infoboxes. I hope to be done with it this week. I put this issue on my todo list for that. If it is not fixed by monday lets get back to this issue together. Virenerus (talk) 15:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Iconic infobox replacements broke iconic navboxes

Changes by User:Bot Manual Bulk Operations on 18 October to replace {{Iconic}} with {{Person}}, such as revision 533936 on Sajan Gadadvara, also replaced {{Iconics navbox}} template invocations on iconics' articles.

The Iconic link in the infobox is also unreadable because the infobox is blue, resulting in nearly zero-contrast text on a same-colored background. -Oznogon (talk) 00:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. I really broke that. Fixed the navboxes. I also changed the style to make links in the infoboxes more readable. Gotta check how it looks after the new style is live.

Sources in {{Recurring}} lists are repeating and linking to Facts

Some works are repeating inside the generated lists of works for recurring characters, concepts, and locations on product pages. For an example, see Rise of the Goblin Guild. Several works are listed twice in those lists, and the second links for those works point to their Facts namespace pages. -Oznogon (talk) 18:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Looks good! Thanks. -Oznogon (talk) 01:49, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
