One part of your edit here is a redlink.
Perhaps this small mistake comes from the 1241 "Unclassified Summary of Evidence for Administrative Review Board in the Case of Abdel Aziz, Abdullah Mohammed" at p. 7 which mentions the Qala-al-Jinki Fortress battle?

Hi there.
I stumbled on the following bug, browser-specific, as it pertains to Safari 6.0.* and perhaps the earlier versions (6.0.4 in my case on Mac OS X 10.8.3):
When you choose the Wikimapia as the map provider, clicking either Map or Satellite link fails to position you at the mapped site, instead, in my case, I get the map of Chicago, where I happen to be (and my Wikimapia profile points to, but I only set that up yesterday; the bug predates my profile location-setting in Wikimapia). No problems with Google Chrome doing the same operation. Perhaps the geohack code needs to generate a slightly different URL for Safari? Safari does fine with the other map services such as Bing and Google Maps.
Best, -- Mareklug talk 21:32, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
lang=en
to the URL. If anyone cares there's ~50 other wikis that need this change. —
Dispenser 23:09, 10 May 2013 (UTC)Hi Dispenser,
It seems that Google Maps URL generation works differently for various languages. Location title (in parentheses) is not generated when language=en or when the language parameter is not set at all.
For language=ru the location title is generated correctly.
Example:
The following two links do not produce location title for Google Maps: [links to enwiki GeoHack]
The following link works correctly: [Link to ruwiki GeoHack
Best regards, -- Klimov talk 14:02, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Your recent changes to Geohack have broken the page. Selecting a link to Google Maps now does not work properly and Google says that it cannot find the page. It appears that Google will accept only the latitude and longitude and not the page title. ••• Life of Riley ( T– C) 18:10, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Your changes to Geohack still do not work properly with Google Maps for names with parentheses in the title. Try this one: Adlai E. Stevenson High School (New York City), then click on the coordinates and then on Google Maps in Geohack. You will see that Google Maps cannot find the object. ••• Life of Riley ( T– C) 18:51, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
So this was introduced in May 2010 and removed 9 months later, because it never quite worked right. So I test the following undocumented schemes:
&iwloc=A
. However, if there are two open parenthesis it wont work. I could get GeoHack to substitute them with a Unicode lookalike, but Internet Explorer doesn't show them.Thanks for baring with me. I've learned more about Google Map's URL parameters than I even care to really know. — Dispenser 02:44, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

After many years of being vaguely aware of the dab solver I finally gave it a try, and here's what happened [1]. EEng ( talk) 03:12, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
When using dabsolver and the only action on a page is to add {{ dn}}, the default edit summary is "Help needed". This isn't particularly informative so I've been using "Disambiguation help needed" which gives context as to what help is required. I think this would be useful for the default when the edit summary doesn't otherwise include the word "disambiguation" (or "disambiguated" etc). Thryduulf ( talk) 21:02, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

reconnect=True
which caused related.py to consume up to 3 times more connections (1 user=6 HTTP connections=12-18 Database connections). Since I was also changing the query-killer (see

Hi Dispenser, a quick question about the Webreflinks tool. I attempted to use it to fix the article Monty Hall problem but it was of no use, I'm guessing because it presents references in the form of {{Harv|vos Savant|1990a}} and [[#refGardner1959b|Gardner 1959b]]. Can the script be modified to process these kind of references or am I stuck with manual one-by-one reference fixing over there? Cheers. Gaba (talk) 13:41, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

I see that you haven't been active on en.wp for a while, but I'll post this in the hope that you will see it. For several weeks, your tools coord-enwiki.log and glupt.log haven't been operating correctly. They seem to be running their daily updates, but each day's results are identical. Old errors that have been fixed are still being listed each day, and no new errors are being identified. It's as though the tools no longer have access to the current version of en.wp. Perhaps you've given up on your tools entirely; but if you haven't, you may want to look into this. I used to patrol these logs regularly, and they certainly caught many errors that aren't being caught otherwise. Deor ( talk) 11:45, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Dispenser! There’s probably a better place to post this—sorry—but I’ve noticed that the “Map” links to Yahoo! Maps from GeoHack coordinate pages are reading West longitudes as East, taking one to the wrong hemisphere. The “Satellite” links appear to work fine.

Is there any way to flag Altviewer that a custom thumbnail frame is used, a la [[File: |thumb]]? One example is Debian using {{ CSS image crop}}. 84.127.80.114 ( talk) 17:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Sorry you have hit a brick wall over Reflinks and WMF. I've used it daily for ages, and have valued it. Fiddle Faddle 20:51, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
Someone on IRC said you were the one to ask for advice on and/or potentially join this IEG https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Tools_for_using_wikidata_items_as_citations
Thanks! (and sorry about your ban :/) Mvolz ( talk) 19:12, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
I get on 400 metres with Dab solver:
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'iteritem' args = ("'unicode' object has no attribute 'iteritem'",) message = "'unicode' object has no attribute 'iteritem'"

Dispenser 04:40, 28 September 2014 (UTC)I'm trying to use Dab solver at
this URL on Simple English Wikipedia pages. I used to be able to do that by prepending "simple:" before the page name (for example simple:Creativity
). Now, though, it just gives me the message "There were no mixed-up links in the words". One page I tried this on was
simple:Creativity, which links to the dab page
simple:Capacity. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. --

This seems to have stopped working. I was trying to use it on simple:The Divine Comedy, which has links to at least two dab pages, but the tool didn't find any such links. Can it be fixed to work again? -- Auntof6 ( talk) 01:36, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Is there any hope that Dablinks will work again in near future? The tool helps me a lot, other solutions such as Dab solver and solve_disabiguation.py have limited abilities -- Bojan Talk 07:32, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
It works, but still not perfect. Anyway, it is a big step forward, thanks. -- Bojan Talk 15:36, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Please see this. It looks like Dablinks doesn't support the "–" character - NickGibson3900 Talk 06:09, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Dispenser, first of all thanks for your help at Template:featured article tools/sandbox. Two of those tools currently display errors: Reflinks shows "Unknown database 'enwiki_p'" and peer reviewer displays "API warning: [object Object] undefined" in a small popup window. Considering recent events, I would fully understand, if you are no longer willing to spend time and energy on those tools - I was just wondering, what the current status of those tools is (I know, that reflinks is supposed to have a WMFlab replacement, but this one seems inaccessible at the moment). Whatever is decided, your contribution of so many useful tools is greatly appreciated. GermanJoe ( talk) 13:33, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
The Transcluded changes for project watchlists has apparently been non-functional for several months, and possibly as far back as November 2013 judging from previous comments on this page. I'm just wondering it there's an update or fix in the works, or if ther are any equivalent tools for finding recent changes/additions within projects. Cheers, and thanks for all you do. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 03:30, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello!
Many thanks and congratulations for making your tools work from a new home! Any chance the great red links by prefix tool will be up again? Place Clichy ( talk) 12:36, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Dispenser! When I went to Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Multiple_issues and clicked on the Show redirects only link, I got an error stating "The connection has timed out". Could you please let me know when this is fixed? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 13:38, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
The Purple Barnstar | ||
Dispenser, you deserve this purple barnstar (awarded to those who have endured undue hardship on Wikipedia but still remain resolute in their commitment to the project and its ideals) because of your persistent work maintaining and keeping your many tools active and functional despite the trouble-filled migration to wmflabs . I've been using your tools for a while and I'm impressed that you're so dedicated to the project that you're hosting them remotely. You really do a great job and the things you've created are useful and positive for the community. I hope you realize the positive impact you've made and will continue to keep on keeping on. You deserve congratulations and a sincere pat on the back. -
