Hello, Can your bot solve this type of url: https://web-a-ebscohost-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/. often found while cleaning up WP Lib links. I figured out a pattern. EBSCOhost links were a little bit scary but after going through several pages i found a trick. see this edit or this edit or this one. All thanks to {{EBSCOhost}}. See all at once.––KEmel49(📝,📋) 19:29, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Also {{Registration required}} can be added inside ref tag.––KEmel49(📝,📋) 13:59, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
- @KEmel49: Hey! I'll definitely have to look into this—thanks for sharing. A little different than the standard URL replacement logic I've been using, so it would likely take a bit of time for some fresh code and a new task approval, but I'll pin this section here so I don't forget about it completely.
