Bug
For whatever reason the comparison between text was showing {{Unruto=yes and missing any proper comparisons. The link to the task is here here. Thanks-CAPTCHA Security check for adding an external link? I'm offended, Pabsoluterince (talk) 08:09, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
What spaces are included?
Hi! I don't immediately see anything about which project spaces are covered, and which (if any?) are not. The reason I ask is that a fairly serious copyvio problem in Portal space has come to light on en.wp, and that made me wonder how it got past this tool and the heroes who monitor it. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:31, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Only the main and draft namespaces are covered. — JJMC89 (T·C) 07:19, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
Loading issue
Starting to see this crop up a lot "No text could be found in the given URL (note that only HTML and plain text pages are supported, and content generated by JavaScript or found inside iframes is ignored)" is this to be expected? 04:10, 22 October 2022 (UTC) enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 04:10, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- @L3X1 Sorry for the late reply! Is this still happening, and if so, could you link to an example? I'm assuming you're talking about the "Compare" buttons, which relies on toolforge:copyvios, so the issue may actually be there. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 01:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- yes, it appeared when I clicked the compare button . I will keep an eye out for its return enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 20:57, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
- @L3X1 I just realized, this was probably because the external URL is behind a paywall. This is why we also give you the "iThenticate report" link, which will show the original text from the website. If that isn't the issue, then it's something else with toolforge:copyvios. You can contact The Earwig to report those issues, but we're happy to pass along the message for you if you'd rather post here :) MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 00:41, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @User:MusikAnimal (WMF) I found a recent instance: https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/en/?id=93197888 . It appears that the external URL is of a PDF of a scan of a book. I tried to page search en-browser a portion of the new text from the wiki-diff, but the pdf is so large my browser cannot search it. hope this helps, thanks enL3X1 ¡‹delayed reaction›¡ 22:29, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
