Hey, just wanted to bring to your attention that in the course of doing its job, FrescoBot is accidentally running over some driver pages in [[WP:NASCAR|WikiProject NASCAR]] and consolidating links that normally stay separated. As best described in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeff_Burton&curid=1633887&diff=973405232&oldid=973404692 this diff], normally links to both the season and the race are kept. It's a load of piping but I guess it's what the project has been doing since longer than I've been around. I don't know if there's a filter you can add to exclude editing driver pages or WikiProject NASCAR pages in general or if it's a case of manual reverts being the best option. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Query
G'day. I've noticed that FrescoBot is removing alt text from images in galleries. See this for an example. I don't think this is appropriate, as it removes functionality intended to help with accessibility. Can you explain why it is doing this? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:57, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Peacemaker67! Well, as far as I know the parameters "alt1", "alt2", "alt3", "alt4", etc are not valid and therefore are not used by the browser. Moreover it is the very first time I notice these invalid parameters and for this reason the script did not even try to convert them to a valid parameter name. You can revert the edit and rename these parameter "alt". -- Basilicofresco (msg) 11:52, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Imcorrect Information
The portion of Riddick Bowe's Fight History is incorrect see excerpt below followed by more Correct Information.
" On December 13, 2008, with the help of new manager Bob Bain, Bowe, 41, returned to the ring for the first time in over three and a half years on the undercard of the Wladimir Klitschko versus Hasim Rahman world heavyweight title bout in Mannheim, Germany and won an eight-round unanimous decision over Gene Pukall."
Myself Joseph D Duncan and my partner Herbert Smith both living and working in Mannheim Germany were the actual Managers Responsible for Riddick's Lisesing and training in Mannheim Germany! I have a News clipping of a German Artical proving that we not Bob Bain were in fact his Managers. Shortly after his win at sap arena in Mannheim Riddick and his wife and little girl that we had flown to Germany for his fight returned to the USA and unbeknownst tonus Riddicks wife had approached the Klitschko k2 management and told them to pay them direct and not Herb and Myself. You can contact the Klitschko camp and they can verify that we were in fact the Managers and trainers of Riddick Bowe. Its bad enough he ripped us off at the very least get the story correct. If you send me a good email I can email you a few pictures Proving my information. My contact info is jddjdd007@gmail.com and my phone number is 8324976744...

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
FrescoBot removing self link
Hi, in this edit frescobot has removed a self link - perfectly logical & reasonable in the vast majority of cases. In this case however the table is transposed on another page Electoral_results_for_the_district_of_Upper_Hunter#1910_by-election which is where the link is intended to be displayed, one of the exceptions to WP:SELFLINK. Any suggestions on how I edit the page so that the link remains for the transclusion without being removed by the bot? Just to be clear I am not criticising the bot nor asking that its rules be changed, I just want to know a workaround to avoid it as I have been creating quite a few of by-election pages with this style.

Wayback Machine links
In Special:Diff/959700176, FrescoBot changed:
(This quote contains the entire URL that was in the article.)
The bot removed one of the slashes on the end. Considering that the three slashes are not near the start of the URL, I’m not sure what triggered the bot to make this change, nor why the bot removed one slash rather than two slashes. I assume the bot is specifically programmed to recognise Wayback Machine URLs, in which case, perhaps it should also recognise invalid Wayback Machine URLs.
I have now fixed the article, but you might like to take a look at how the bot handles these. Brianjd (talk) 05:26, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

FrescotBot error
Hi. I think this edit was a false positive. The "Chatuchak–Queen Sirikit–Wachirabenchathat park complex" is a park complex consisting of the three individual linked parks, so the word park shouldn't be included in the link to Wachirabenchathat Park. I'm not sure how the bot works, but it seems that constructs like "thinhorn and bighorn sheep" would also result in similar false positives. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:48, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Bot malfunction
Hi Basilicofresco! This is somewhat an edge case, but I came across some unwanted behavior from Frescobot. The behavior relates to two colleges, Pomona College and Pitzer College, that have joint athletic teams. I therefore set them up a little while ago so that the athletics section for Pomona's page would be transcluded to Pitzer's via an excerpt, so that they would remain synced. For the first sentence, I used this code: The school's varsity athletic teams compete in conjunction with <noinclude>[[Pitzer College]]</noinclude><includeonly>[[Pomona College]]</includeonly> (another consortium member)
(so that at Pitzer's page it says the teams compete with Pomona). When Frescobot came through, it removed the wikilink around Pomona, presumably since it assumed that a self-link must be an error. Is this part of WP:GENFIXES? Could the code be modified to specify that self-links within includeonly tags are not necessarily errors? Thanks for helping me sort this out. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 20:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- This kind of transclusions in the article namespace are somewhat odd and unexpected... In any case I just disabled the self-link check to stay on the safe side (this kind of transclusions are not easy detect in any possible case). -- Basilicofresco (msg) 01:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
FrescoBot 12
Thanks for all the good work, especially FrescoBot task 12 which is making some very welcome improvements.
I wonder if there is scope for finding cases which would change the link target, such as brown [[trout]]
→ [[brown trout]]
. Editing these could go very wrong if done thoughtlessly and so should not be automated, but I suspect that your code could easily be modified to find and list cases for human consideration. As well as making vague but acceptable links more specific, it could fix a number of plausible but wrong links such as Jacob Murphy scored a goal
. There used to be a tool which did something similar, but I can no longer find it; I think it got left behind in the Toolforge move. Certes (talk) 23:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Certes: Hi! No, the bot won't change the link target. When two links are fused, then the most specific link will be preserved. No new links will be automatically "guessed". The basic idea at the moment is to cover the cases that can be safely fixed in an automated way. However I guess that in the future I could create a script capable of double checking the article list and create a list of plausible better links. Then this list could be manually inspected and a collection of human approved fixes could be included in a future version of the original script. It should be feasible. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 12:04, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
FrescoBot concern
Hey, just wanted to bring to your attention that in the course of doing its job, FrescoBot is accidentally running over some driver pages in WikiProject NASCAR and consolidating links that normally stay separated. As best described in this diff, normally links to both the season and the race are kept. It's a load of piping but I guess it's what the project has been doing since longer than I've been around. I don't know if there's a filter you can add to exclude editing driver pages or WikiProject NASCAR pages in general or if it's a case of manual reverts being the best option. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 01:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
