The note states "Pages in the User, User talk, and Wikipedia talk namespaces are not included in the error tracking categories." Should other namespaces be excluded, such as Talk, Help talk, Module talk, Template talk? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 01:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Could this category please be expanded to also capture URLs starting with "hhttp" (e.g. New Jersey Devils reference #77) and "hhttps" (e.g. Hiyasmin Neri reference #2)? If so, I would expand BattyBot's task to fix them. Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 03:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
insource:hhttp
search turns up 58 instances. Is that really enough of a problem for us to change
Module:citation/CS1?|url=
look like it might be a relative protocol uri? (2) are there zero or more characters that are not a forward slash preceding a colon? (^[^/]*:
). There are at least 80 permanent
uri schemes plus some number more that are provisional, historic, or other. To properly identify uri schemes that aren't correct,
Module:Citation/CS1 must know which are correct. This of course, is doable. The question is: should we. This backwater is probably not the place to discuss that possibility.Per the first two cites in this rev, it appears that protocol-relative URL now produces a CS1 error and places the article in this cat. Therefore it appears the comments on the Category page are incorrect, but I'm not confident enough to do a bold edit. Suggest changing:
The URL field is checked to ensure that it does not contain spaces. The URL may be protocol relative (begins with //). If there are no spaces and the URL is not protocol relative, then the scheme must comply with RFC 3986. Further validation is not performed.

And there's another mention of protocol-relative in the preceding paragraph that would need to change too. ― Mandruss ☎ 00:07, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
All articles with [1] are now tagged as having a URL error. Why? Clicking on the link brings up the study. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 21:07, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

and get a correctly working link.See here Zcash. I have two errors even though these are correctly working links. [2] — TheJJJunk ( say hello) 04:15, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
After running my bot through this category, there are still over 4,000 articles with URL errors. Is there a way to generate a report with the most common errors, so we can see if we can fix them via bot and/or expanding AWB's general fixes? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 17:29, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
