TAPINTO: A local New Jersey USA news source I frequently use doesn't seem to get "converted" any more by Refill toolforge?

hi - A news publication in NJ USA called TapInto has a number of city-based news pages by different journalists. When I put a bare URL recently using the Refill Tool forge tool, it no longer seems to fill it? Wondering why and if there is a fix? I also opened a discussion awhile back on TapInto' talk page. Thanks in advance

More wikis supported?

Hi. Are yiu going to support more language wikipedias? Thanks Xia ^{talk to me} 17:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Configure to autorun in a page

Is there any option or Bot to configure to autorun this tool on a certain article and publish the updated article?

@Anishviswa: No. But you could develop something using the API. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:46, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

If you do, remember that you are responsible for each edit. This tool makes many errors; each edit needs to be inspected by a human before the change is saved. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:25, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Pending

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news again, but the bot appears to be down. I've been getting the Pending "waiting for an available worker" message since around 2pm UTC this afternoon. As always, apologies in advance if you're already aware of any problems. Cheers, This is Paul (talk) 17:44, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Seems to be fixed now, so huge thanks to whoever did that. This is Paul (talk) 18:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

We had the same again today, and Sammy investigated and was able to restart it after making a configuration change. You can take a look at the technical details if you are interested. We might want to change which scheduler the backend uses, going forward. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:11, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

UTF-8 Character Issues

After noticing odd character combinations appearing in references from time to time, such as ’ appearing in place of ', I found that the errors were known as Mojibake, a character conversion error (common examples listed here). After determining how the errors were introduced into articles, I found that they occurred in edits that used Reflinks and ReFill. Is this something that could be fixed?

@CoolieCoolster: Please could you provide some example Wikipedia articles where this has happened, ideally as diffs? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:17, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Here, here, here, here, and here are examples. Each of those edits updated a reference title using ’ in place of '. CoolieCoolster (talk) 09:46, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
