Citation bot

Hi, can a Citation bot be launched in Serbian Wikipedia and other related projects in Serbian? If it can, what do you need to do to enable the bot? Best regards! Ранко Николић (talk) 21:12, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

It's certainly possible, but it would involve a fair bit of work. You'd have to fork the Github repository and make the necessary translations. I'm afraid that I can't offer to do this all myself (I barely have time to support maintenance of the en bot) but would be willing to help out if you were able to find someone to do the bulk of the work.

I can certainly help with translation, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know do the rest of the work. Ранко Николић (talk) 04:25, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I can help. In which file(s) are places translations? @Ранко Николић: I saw now this. I will help. Zoranzoki21 (talk) 00:29, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

What's a nema?

According to the history, you added the word 'nema' to Myriotrichia. However, I cannot find the word in the cited source, nor is there an English definition on wikt:nema. What am i missing? --Nessie (talk) 16:33, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

It's from the latin for "string" or "thread"; it refers to the main ... how best to put it... strand? axis? of the alga -- see the figure in the article. Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 07:55, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Template infobox rockunit

Hi, there's a discussion about the field labelled "period" in this infobox as some editors are assuming that it means "period" in the strict sense and others that it just requires whatever the relevant chronstrat term is. This of course only changes the colour. A suggestion is that we change the name of the label to "interval" and add a comment in the documentation. Your thoughts (and help) would be appreciated.

Unused template

As you know, I converted traversals of the taxonomy hierarchy encoded in taxonomy templates to Lua some time ago, to deal with expansion depth limits. At the time, I found converting just this part of the automated taxobox system a complex task, so I left many of the 'non-traversal' templates alone. I'm slowly converting those that are not also used by the manual taxobox system to Lua, so some templates are becoming unused.

{{Taxonomy links/cell}}, which you created, has now been replaced by a Lua function in Module:Autotaxobox, so I've nominated it for deletion. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:28, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Ranks in taxonomy templates

I made a mess of fixing Template:Taxonomy/Trochozoa, but it's correct now. Perhaps the entry in {{Anglicise rank}} should put a space between the rank and the "?". The point I'd like to make is that the automated taxobox system is now much tighter as regards things like acceptable rank names; any ranks not in {{Anglicise rank}} will flag an error.

Notice

Per a request at WP:ANRFC, I have closed Help talk:Citation Style 1#RFC on publisher and location in cite journal, which concerns the actions of Citation bot, which you operate. Since you have not edited in almost 2 weeks, I have also requested that the bot be blocked until it is compliant with the result of the RfC. --DannyS712 (talk) 19:52, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

And I have done so. Feel free to unblock your bot after it has been fixed. Sandstein 20:24, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

I understand that the bot has already been modified to operate in accordance with the new decision. I suggest that it ought to be unblocked, but will let you establish whether this is the correct course of action. Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 08:05, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Pardon me for butting in, but you have been pinged repeatedly to the recent RFC on this issue, and several related discussions, with no response; and I notice you now say you "understand" changes have been made to the bots behaviour (which implies a lack of first-hand knowledge). Yet you are listed as the bot's operator. Can you confirm whether you are in fact the bot's operator, or if you have in effect handed it over to someone else? In either case, could you address WP:BOTACC (second para) and WP:BOTCOMM? --Xover (talk) 17:03, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
