RE:Coordinates

I missed that part, sorry. However on enwiki the Wikicode states that those coordinates come from Wikidata. Weird. Mannivu · ✉ 20:50, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. It looks like @Epìdosis: removed them from Wikidata in 2016 but not before they were imported to enwiki back then. An example of why it's much better to just keep coordinates in one place (Wikidata)... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:54, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes the coordinates effectively are in the sea, this is the reason of my removal in 2016; but at that time I did not have enough experience to also go and fix them in en.wiki. Thanks @Mannivu: for fixing them now in en.wiki. Epìdosis 09:01, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Distributed Game error

Hi Mike. I've found your tool very useful and found lots of unlinked articles in the Welsh Wicipedia using 'New Wikipedia article and category matches'. However it's now broken. Can you work out why? I was using this link . Thanks. Dafyddt (talk) 22:14, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

@Dafyddt: Thanks for going through so many of the matches! There aren't any potential cywiki matches left in the game now, but it looks for new articles daily, so there should be more again soon. There are still matches in other languages, if that's useful (particularly for dagwiki and frwiki). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:18, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Ah, makes sense! Thanks, I will look at some other languages too. Dafyddt (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
