Wikipedia talk:ReFill

T305178 Hi, when creating archive links, archiveurl=, it's also creating deadurl=yes, which is a deprecated parameter, and therefore errors. Please replace with |url-status=dead. Thanks for setting up the tool, I use it loads, Tom B (talk) 13:20, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

@Tpbradbury: thanks Tom, this is known about, and once we've got our house in order this will get fixed at last. I will archive this thread for now. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

I have unarchived this section, since it is a perennial topic for a few years now. It looks like some slow development has happened and has stalled. See T352379 for details. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:06, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Same issue on §Invalid parameter usage.––kemel49^{(connect)(contri)} 12:38, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey guys, I've noticed this a few times that ch-aviation.com doesn't get filled correctly. Most recent example is https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/159065-uss-spirit-airlines-to-reject-87-aircraft-leases which when run through the tool is spat out with a linebreak and tens of space characters... any chance this could be looked at?

@Danners430, Here you only provided an external website link. Can you show some practical example edit from any pages.––KEmel49(📝,📋) 12:03, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I’ll run it in my sandbox just now and see if it does the same there Danners430 _{tweaks made} 12:06, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

ah shoot, I forgot - ReFill doesn’t work on mobile Safari. However, I’ve verified the bug appears when run on the current version of my personal sandbox, so if you run ReFill on that page it’ll show the bug. If I get back to my computer later I’ll post a diff then (currently stuck in bed with the flu!) Danners430 _{tweaks made} 12:09, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I did a test on your sandbox, here is the result. Hope the maintainers see this.––KEmel49(📝,📋) 12:17, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Cheers - that’s exactly the behaviour that’s causing the issues Danners430 _{tweaks made} 12:18, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Because https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/159065-uss-spirit-airlines-to-reject-87-aircraft-leases has this html:

        <title>
                            US’s Spirit Airlines to reject 87 aircraft leases -
                        ch-aviation
        </title>

It would have been better for the tool to fetch the article title from this:

<meta property="og:title" content="US’s Spirit Airlines to reject 87 aircraft leases"/>

I used refill on List of busiest railway stations. I just noticed that it swaped the |title= and |url= in line 619 of this edit. No need for this thing, also it changed cite web to Cite web (Small to Capital).––KEmel49(📝,📋) 12:02, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

See . It has removed some references. tgeorgescu (talk) 12:10, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

No it hasn’t, it’s combined them into named references Danners430 _{tweaks made} 19:39, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

But introduced three errors of type "named reference <Foo> was invoked but never defined":

• References section before (06:53, 27 February 2026): no errors
• References section after (06:58, 27 February 2026): three errors

Could it be related to the use of VE numeric-named references four digits long? Mathglot (talk) 21:46, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
