@DCDuring: You can just delete the links to articles that've been dealt with. That's what I've been doing. — Eru·tuon 23:56, 29 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Data page

[edit]

You changed it so that I have to remove entries from the data page. But I cannot read the scripts of the entries I fixed, nor can I write in them, so I'm not able to find the right words in that jumble and remove them. —Rua (mew) 18:38, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Rua: Oh... both the displayed text and the edit box in the data subpage are readable in my browser (Firefox 66). Is it unreadable in one or both? I can think of a couple ideas for workarounds. (I went with the data subpage method for convenience, so I can just paste the raw data. It was a hassle to create the data and then generate the readable version) — Eru·tuon 18:48, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
It's not that the scripts are unreadable in principle, but they are unreadable to me. I'd have to copy the entry titles and then use the browser to find them. I liked the system before where I could just remove the sections. —Rua (mew) 18:50, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I misunderstood and thought you were talking about a font issue. I usually go and correct all entries with a particular header and then go to the data subpage and delete the line for that header (where the header is the first non-tab sequence and the page titles are the following non-tab sequences). I sometimes copy the list of titles for a particular header from the data subpage, convert tabs to newlines, correct them to JWB and then delete the line, sometimes correct a less-common header by clicking individual links from the main page and then delete the line for that header on the data subpage. (It was a hassle without the data subpage: I'd have to manually delete the pages that other people had fixed from my copy of the raw data.) But I would like to find a way to accommodate both of our ways of doing things. I wonder if there is some hybrid format that would allow you to easily find and delete titles, but allow me to easily copy titles to JWB. — Eru·tuon 19:28, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, what about a format with individual titles separated by newlines in the wikitext, with a template around them that displays them in a nicer way, like below? — Eru·tuon 19:36, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
==incorrect header==
{{template to generate nice-looking list|
title1
title2
...
}}
As long as it allows me to remove the whole section when I've fixed it, I'm ok with it. —Rua (mew) 20:08, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
