It should not take too long before the move to the Toolserver will take place. Do you have any news on that regarding your tools and the effects of the move? The Banner talk 01:09, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Greetings! Is it possible to do a one-day disambiguation contest count? If so, is is possible to do one that covers all disambig fixes, and not just those on the usual lists? I think that a one-day event could stoke some extra interest in fixing these links. Cheers! bd2412 T 15:49, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi there! Im Aswin Kumar, an Admin from Tamil Wikipedia. We have enormous backlog(5000+) in disambiguation pages with links (see). For a small wiki such as ours with just 57000+ articles this is not good and we are unable to fix that easily. so we request your help to provide an extension to use dplbot for tawiki if possible. Excellent job on the dplbot by the way. Hope to hear a positive reply from you soon! thank you. --Aswn (talk) 11:34, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
I think the last of the fixes to this article have been completed. I am the one who moved this article and incorrectly thought I had fixed all links to and from the subject article, as well as create a new disambiguation page to point to the three Lake Valencias in English Wikipedia. This turned out to be more complicated than any other article moves I have done. Sorry to cause someone else problems. Bill Pollard (talk) 09:59, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello. I received a message from your bot claiming that I added a disambiguation link to the Sardinian page.
I, however, was not the one to do this. The user TonyBallioni was the one to do this.
I am quite befuddled by this whole matter. Would you care to explain why this has happened? Tharthandorf Aquanashi (talk) 16:16, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
Recently I removed the "incoming links template" from the Bishop of Ross disambiguation page but your DPL bot has readded the template again because the disambiguation page has 30 or more links. The problem is that the disambiguation page only appears to have more than 30 or more links because of the Template:Scottish Church navbox. I've edited/updated the link in the Template:Scottish Church from "Bishop of Ross" to "Bishop of Ross (Scotland)", but for some reason or another the navbox still behaves that it has not been edited/updated. Why the navbox still does that I do not know. If you ignored those links which the navbox generates, then there'd be 5 or 6 links, a few of which have the same problem with the navbox, leaving only a few links left to the Bishop of Ross disambiguation page. So could you please look into this problem and have the incoming links template removed. Regards Scrivener-uki (talk) 22:09, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, DPL bot,
I thank you very much for raising the above referred issue in my edit Anil Chatterjee, accordingly I have corrected the specific issue and re-linked them to the appropriate articles.
I thank you again.

So, I was notified of a disambiguation link on a page, and it suggested an edit, which produced this result. What the issue is is that it sent it to a red link, so I was wondering if you wanted to repeat this bug, because I have never encountered this before. Thanks! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:58, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Greetings! I have been tossing this idea back and forth in my head for a while. Sometimes, at the beginning of the monthly contest, I will notify specific projects about disambiguation pages relating to those projects that have large numbers of incoming links. For example, this notice to WikiProject Mathematics. Would it be possible to automate this, so that at the beginning of every month, various wikiprojects would get such a notice? I am thinking that some formula could be worked out based on the wikiprojects with which links on the disambiguation pages themselves are associated. Cheers! bd2412 T 17:56, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if you can help with something that puzzles me. Today your "DPL bot" added Template:Incoming links to Woodbridge. I noticed that because I was the last person to update that page. It does have a lot of incoming links, most of which weren't there earlier today! What seems to have happened is that today someone created Template:Vaughan and added it to a lot of pages, all of which now link to Woodbridge. But I can't see how Template:Vaughan links to Woodbridge. It only links to Woodbridge, Ontario and Woodbridge College. Can you show me what I'm missing? Thanks! Stanning (talk) 21:37, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
hi how are you? i was wondering if you maybe able to help me out with finding my way around this site. i am a new user so help wkuld be nice if you are willing to help out. (Mudak568 (talk) 20:55, 31 December 2013 (UTC))
You semi-protected Scott Robinson (footballer) in May 2011, there's been no vandalism since. Could you now unprotect it.80.2.75.107 (talk) 23:24, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Today when I logged in I found message showing I have blocked indefinitely, I do not know why as far as I know I haven't add or edit anything false but I have seen same user keep on editing with false information and they are doing it everyday. Therefore my question is why they are not blocked but I am doing or fixing lots of error and I got the message that I have been blocked then immediately this blocked message removed. I my opinion people should be blocked permanently who add false information or without knowing corrupt the page and left. Thank you & Kind Regards Anwar — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anwarhs (talk • contribs) 21:24, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the info concerning disambiguation. On another note, I wonder if it would be possible (and practicle) to make a change to the wikipage titled McHale's Navy (film). There were two movies with this title, one made in 1964 under the wikipage title McHale's Navy (1964 film) and the other was made in 1997 under the wikipage title McHale's Navy (film). To help remove confusion, I think the latter should be retitled as McHale's Navy (1997 film), but I fear doing so might undo all the links to the original title. Is it possible to change the title to McHale's Navy (1997 film) without it causing a problem with however many links there are? Tim Gruber (talk) 14:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC) Thanks Tim
Editors who don't use a script to see disambiguation links may want to fix them, but may not want to click through dozens or hundreds of links in an article to find the ones that need fixing. Would it be possible to adjust this template so that if the number of links is not unwieldy (I would say, if there are less than a dozen), the template actually lists the links that need to be fixed? Just a thought. bd2412 T 18:37, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
I'll definitely go through the article and disambiguate any ambiguous links I find. While I have you here, can you help me by telling me how to find a list of the images that I upload? I am scratching my head until it hurts to find and edit some of these files. As I recall, it was not nearly so obtuse to find one's own work in the past. Has Wikipedia changed its characteristics to be even more Byzantine and ineffable than before? JaGa, if you can help me with this, I'll be forever grateful.Bwisok (talk) 00:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
I have acted on your bot showing me that certain links were pointing to disambiguation pages on the page, "EVoid". Thanks.
There is a note at the top of the page about the page having "multiple issues" — "This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia. Please help improve this article by adding links that are relevant to the context within the existing text. (September 2013) — I did this a few days ago. How do we get someone to recognise this and remove the comment?
Regarding the second note — "This article relies on references to primary sources. Please add references to secondary or tertiary sources. (July 2008)" — I have more or less rewritten the page by adding in a lot of detail from the liner notes from the CDs. Is the note still relevant? Is someone monitoring it to check that it's removed appropriately? Russell 07:51, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello! Re: my edits on "List of trees," I think I understand(?). Please see my recent revisions for (a) Chandelier Tree and (b) Iluvatar. Thanks for keeping me honest! Rustypup49 (talk) 13:35, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Went to the Toolserver list today to do an uncats batch, and I got the following message: The page you requested is hosted by the Toolserver user jason, whose account has expired. Toolserver user accounts are automatically expired if the user is inactive for over six months. To prevent stale pages remaining accessible, we automatically block requests to expired content.
Would it be possible for you to either reactivate your account, or hand that tool off to somebody else if you're not planning to stay active on Toolserver anymore? (I'd even be willing to take it over myself, if that's what it comes to.) It's too useful and needed to just lose it entirely. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 05:03, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I'll try doing a batch now and let you know if there are any problems. Bearcat (talk) 06:40, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

...involves placing a template on a talk page, but I often archive it with preserving history, making any permanent templates on a talk page an annoyance.

Dang it! There's more than one "Dynamite" as well!?!? What is wrong with these people?! Sorry about the confusion. I just fixed the problem. Thanks for letting me know. If you found my introduction above "uncivil", I'm sorry for that as well. My edits to an article called DJ Earworm kept getting erased, and my response to that got me shunned by the eraser, who called my response "uncivil". Not that I've done it to the eraser as of yet unfortunately, but I figured that if there's anything uncivil in my messages and I apologize for it, the same thing won't happen between us. Thanks again for the reminder of my mistake. Later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jake "JJR" Rivera (talk • contribs) 17:27, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, JaGa. Thank you for your DPL bot's very helpful and informative notification. You are correct that my dab link at British_Satellite_Broadcasting was unintended. I had subsequently decided to change it, but got distracted; without your help, it would have been an annoyance to readers for a lot longer before it was fixed--probably by an editor who had better things to do. --Rich Janis (talk) 00:08, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

That DPL bot is a nice tool. I hadn't even realised that the link I made was to a disambiguation. Thanks! Gecko G (talk) 16:10, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May! I personally will be aiming to lead the board next month, but for anyone who thinks they can put in a better effort, I will give a $10 Amazon gift card to any editor who scores more disambiguation points in May. Also, I will be setting up a one-day contest later in the month, and will try to set up more prizes and other ways to make this a fun and productive month. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi there, I am writing to ask for some confirmation on the disambiguation template, as I made a great effort to make sure that every link directed to the page itself. Could you perhaps show me one or two examples where this might be the case. Regards

Hello. I was looking at your tool for disambiguation pages with links, and I wonder if is there any chance to make something similar for the spanish Wikipedia (I mean, if it is as easy as changing a parameter in the code or it's more difficult). We used to have a good tool for this but nowadays I am not able to find any. Thank you in advance! --Pietrus (talk) 00:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello there, a proposal regarding pre-adminship review has been raised at Village pump by Anna Frodesiak. Your comments here is very much appreciated. Many thanks. Jim Carter through MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:47, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
This bot is an essential part of Wikipedia so don't get me wrong when I say I would like it to be substantially rewritten. For a user with a dozen or more stumbling edits it sets the right tone- but when your edit count reaches 4 figures, and the local addiction clinic starts sending you personlised invitations - the tone is slightly patronising. So I propose that the bot examines my user page, for some sort of marker, may be a hidden category to see how many times it has visited before, on gleaning the information that I am visited regularly- it just sends me a notification with a simple message. "Oops, XXXXX you used on YYYYY is a disambiguation page- this edit needs attention" if there is no record that I have been visited before I get the full treatment as before. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 12:45, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
Can you please make your bot available on hiwiki also?☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 09:12, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
I received a notice from DPL bot that I had added a disambiguation link to an article, and probably did it by accident. In this case I did it on purpose in a hatnote. Maybe this is uncommon enough that the bot doesn't need to worry about it. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the message regarding what I did to Austin & Ally: Turn It Up. I had no idea there was more than one Jack Johnson. I just fixed it so that it only leads to the singer Jack Johnson. The first track on the Austin & Ally: Turn It Up album is called "Upside Down" and contains an interpolation of Jack Johnson's song of the same name. If you listen to the chorus from the Austin & Ally song "Upside Down" and then listen to the chorus of Jack Johnson's "Upside Down", you'll notice the similarities. Thanks again for the 411; I've fixed the problem. Peace! Jake "JJR" Rivera (talk) 19:02 ET, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
