Some useful tags

Template:Translation/Ref

In translated articles from other language editions of the Wikipedia, use this template in the External links section of articles to cite the original sources that the article was translated from. Example:

{{Translation/Ref|ru|Худжанд|oldid=16835699}}


Interwiki links

{{ill|Cimetière du Polygone|fr}}


Template:Species_abbreviation

Gives a list of links to species disambiguation pages. Example:

{{Species abbreviation|princeps}}


Wikipedia:Authority_control

Now just put {{Authority control}} on a line by itself after the External links section and navigation templates.

It will take several hours before anything appears on the page, and depends on the subject's Wikidata.


All pages with given word in title – can be used in See also

{{intitle|Senseless}}

gives:

All pages with titles containing Senseless


Commons category inline on a single line in External links

{{commons category-inline|Nordic Council Music Prize}}

gives:

Flagging self-published references

  • put [[Wikipedia:SPS|{{sup|[''self-published'']}}]] before the final </ref> tag

How to "Make list" of a user's page creations

edit

(Copied from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Archive_31&action=edit )

I've been trying to work out a way of using "Make list" to select just those User Contributions that are page creations. For example, for my own pages I would want to select the pages that are shown on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Hebrides&namespace=&tagfilter=&newOnly=1&start=&end=

I've tried various strategies in AWB, but without success. Before I start on obscure approaches like page scraping outside AWB using a regex, I thought I'd post the question here, as I'm sure there must be a simple way of using the built-in functionality in AWB, but it so far escapes me!

Some users create a lot of pages with the same pattern of errors (like linked dates, or a "Weblinks" section, or lowercase months, etc) and it would be good to be able to go through and correct such pages in AWB. Thanks in anticipation. — Hebrides (talk) 20:44, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

@Hebrides: You can use this tool to create the list and then populate it within AWB, xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Hebrides. Ganeshk (talk) 01:48, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, Ganeshk, that xtool is really good and has download options too. In the meantime since posting this question, I've found a direct way in AWB that seems to work, after discovering the "Make list" option "HTML Scraper (advanced regex)", which I tried with the following options:
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=500&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Hebrides&namespace=&tagfilter=&newOnly=1&start=&end=
regex: (?<=title=")[^#<>\[\]\{\|}"]+(?=">hist)
It managed to populate AWB with my most recent 500 page creations, but it needs proper testing as my regex skills are rather rudimentary. I included it here in case anyone else finds it useful or wants to contribute a better regex :) What's more, because it scrapes pagenames from the "User contributions" page, it will probably work with other options on that page with a bit of tweaking of the regex.
Thanks again — Hebrides (talk) 10:19, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
