For those who actively works on these reports, you can add some css code to your common.css to easily detect redirected links on a page (in such case the pair of duplicate was already fixed). --XXN, 16:04, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

404

@Pasleim: the big blue button to request updates is leading to a 404 page. NMaia (talk) 21:16, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Editions

@Pasleim: I’m going through huwiki-huwikisource, and most of the false positives are connected through edition or translation of (P629)/has edition or translation (P747). I think this is a fairly common case for Wikipedia-Wikisource pairs, so please whitelist them (just like different from (P1889)). Thanks in advance! —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:41, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion: Ignore the localized namespace prefixes

@Pasleim: The tool works well in the article namespace, but not in other namespaces for languages which use the localized namespace prefixes. Let's take Template:Stub for example. You can see a lot of languages using localized template prefix but the page name is still "stub". Since the default (English) namespace prefixes can be used in all languages, the tool can turn all localized prefix to the default one before matching the results. --Kwgulden (talk) 02:37, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

give me a perspective!

Hi Pasleim, thanks for listing the candidates for duplicate entries. It seems to be useful. Could you calculate the overall number of such entries to get a perspective, how huge the mountain is. And could you not just actualize the figure, when recreating, but create some neat statistics that allow to see progress? Give me an idea that we have the necessary community power to resolve all these entries while bots continue to create new duplicates. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 07:16, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

request update

@Pasleim: I requested an update yesterday for User:Pasleim/projectmerge/dewiki-svwiki (using the request update button), today the page still tells me: update is processing. please be patient. Can you please check. If update is taking days, does it really make sense to offer doing it on demand? best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 11:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

proposal for optimization

Stumbled across Grigri (Q973632) and Grigri (Q23196696), which could IMHO never be the same. The first is a technical object, the second a geographical object. Maybe there are other classes of instance of (P31) hierarchies, that never could be the same. best --12:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Translatable header

Since this project is useful for many people, I think it would be a great improvement to have a translatable header. Of course this requires modification to the bot (of which I can’t find the source code, but it seems to be a trivial change). It could be used like

{{User:Pasleim/projectmerge/header
|candidates=15
|excluded=10
|update=<onlyinclude>2021-03-07 14:32 (UTC)</onlyinclude>
}}

and all the rest (number of remaining candidates, right update link, conditional Merge candidates heading etc.) could be calculated by the template, with translatable text. (This example uses a user space page, but using a template is also an option. Also, I just picked the first two numbers, but it could be any other pair if that’s easier to handle in the bot code, I don’t care.) @Pasleim, what do you think? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 14:32, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I implemented it and it will be active with the next update of the subpages. Feel free to add translations to User:Pasleim/projectmerge/header/text. Pasleim (talk) 17:55, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Pasleim: Thanks for implementing it! Have you deliberately left out <onlyinclude> from the new bot output? —Tacsipacsi (talk) 01:11, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Does it cause any problems? --Pasleim (talk) 19:28, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

It causes that {{User:Pasleim/projectmerge/wiki1-wiki2}} no longer returns the timestamp of the latest update (but rather the whole page). If it causes actual problems: no idea; after all, it’s not me who introduced the onlyinclude tags… —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:29, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
