== Autoarchiving == |
|
|
|
|
|
I have fixed the archive. Previously it would only work if at least 9 threads were to be archived at once; now it will only go by the last edit date of each thread individually. |
|
|
|
|
|
I have decreased the time to auto archive from 9 months to 6 months so that only active discussions are given prominence. |

== Adding NLI (National Library of Israel) to the Authority Control template & RTL Version == |
|
|
|
|
|
We're seeking to add authority control templates on he.wiki, and it makes sense to add: |
|
|
1) The ] system identifier (unique identifiers) to the list of authority control identifiers? |
|
|
2) an RTL version of the template (that would work with Hebrew and Arabic)? |
|
|
|
|
|
What's the procedure to achieve 1 and / or 2 ? |

== Authority control in musical works == |
|
|
|
|

Hi folks. I only noticed today that musical works do not have authority control. But they could. Shouldn't we extend authority control to musical works? - ] (]) 13:07, 12 May 2016 (UTC) |

== What Does the Template Search For? == |
|
|
I just put the authority control template into ] without success but an entry for this guy exists. Leading me to wonder, what does the template query for? Advice in the page associated with this talk (I believe) says something about making a reference but I don't see how to do that without knowing how the template will query. Please set me straight. ] (]) 18:38, 31 March 2017 (UTC) |

:It produces a bar of identifier numbers for the subject from information in the subject's entry on wikidata. —] (]) 22:46, 31 March 2017 (UTC) |

:{{reply to|David Eppstein}} Thank you. However, I knew what the template does. What I would like to know is how the template interrogates wikidata for the information that it places in the bar of identifier numbers. As it happens, after I put this question here I added the link to Robinet's[REDACTED] page to his wikidata record and when I returned to his page — by magic — found that the control info is there. But now I don't know whether this is because I added the[REDACTED] link or because some bot updated the page! :) ] (]) 23:08, 31 March 2017 (UTC) |

''... Thus, using this template on a page with no authority information is harmless.''<br/> |
|
|
We now have editors mass adding empty {{tl|authority control}} templates into random (non-biography) articles just to inflate their edit counts (despite the fact that most of the articles they are adding them to have no authority control IDs in Wikidata and never will). This bloats the revision table with useless revisions, spams people's watchlists, slows page parsing, and in most cases adds no value to the encyclopedia. Do we really want to encourage this? If it's true that every article on Misplaced Pages should have the {{tl|authority control}} template, we should probably make it a built-in part of the page (like interwiki links) and delete the template entirely. ] (]) 09:07, 29 May 2017 (UTC) |
