NSA pages

This is just fyi. I found it hard to maintain tables, especially for infrequent contributors so I've been moving away from using tables to list NSA members in favor of just a bullet list. Ref NSA:Angola‎. David (talk) 12:50, 27 September 2017 (PDT)

Good point, I've adjusted the template I'm using in AWB. Dragfyre (talk) 12:53, 27 September 2017 (PDT)

Woohoo! Great idea, thanks. Dragfyre (talk) 08:26, 10 October 2017 (PDT)

Images source

Regarding this file File:Asian-Bahai-Womens-Conference.jpg, do you know what the source is? My goal is to eventually go through and replace all the files in the Low quality category, but for that I need to know where to find them again. David (talk) 07:56, 12 October 2017 (PDT)

Edit, I see the category now, thanks!

Ah good :) Yeah, I've tried to tag each of the images with the relevant category. There are a few of them (File:Vietnam-Trung-Giang-School-inside.png, File:Vietnam-Trung-Giang-Bahai-School.jpg, File:Vietnam-Bahais-Trung-Giang.jpg) that I added to "Low quality" without a source category; that's because I found them in the Fozdar collection. I'm not sure if they've actually been published elsewhere, so I don't know whether it'll even be possible to re-scan them. If you want, you can remove the Low quality tag from those. Dragfyre (talk) 08:16, 12 October 2017 (PDT)

I think listing the source should be sufficient. Perhaps someone will come along who has access to a higher quality version if they know roughly where to begin looking. David (talk) 09:10, 12 October 2017 (PDT)

Test

This is a test of the wiki software. Dragfyre (talk) 19:22, 3 December 2021 (PST)

I think the article on the Bahá’í Faith is very nice. Dragfyre (talk) 19:25, 3 December 2021 (PST)

Your page on Curlie

Hi,
I'm the editor of the Bahá'í Personal Pages category at curlie.org and thought you'd be interested to know that your site pizza.sandwich.net which has been listed since at least 2008 is no longer listed due to a parser error. Ernobe (talk) 11:44, 9 September 2023 (PDT)

Thanks for the note. I will probably have some website updates to make in the medium term, so I'll keep this in mind for later. Dragfyre (talk) 01:41, 11 September 2023 (PDT)

Pulling data from bahaidata

Hi,
I noticed your comment on not getting dates from bahaidata. On a similar occasion I fixed it by doing a null edit on the offending template (in your case {{Infobox Person}}). However, the {{Infobox City}} template does not pull anything from bahaidata if the parameter exists but is empty, contrary to the {{Infobox Person}} template in which if the parameter is empty it will pull the info from bahaidata. That should be fixed for the sake of consistency in Bahaipedia templates. Ernobe (talk) 08:48, 21 July 2024 (PDT)

OK, that's helpful to know. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the note! Dragfyre (talk) 09:20, 21 July 2024 (PDT)

BahaiBot Bug

Hi,
Just to report that the BahaiBot you administer has recently (at https://bahaipedia.org/index.php?title=Peter_Khan&diff=next&oldid=127048) added [[pt:Glenford E. Mitchell]] to Peter Khans' page. Ernobe (talk) 18:05, 30 July 2024 (PDT)

Hi, thanks for letting me know. There have been a few of these issues, and they seem to have come about due to the Portuguese Bahaipedia containing incorrect language links which then get propagated by the bot. I had recurring issues involving Nine Pointed Star, Ringstone symbol and Greatest Name because of this problem, as an example. If you come across any more of these problems, would you mind checking and (if needed) correcting the interwiki links on both articles (pt and en)? I've done the same on most of the articles that have caused problems in the past, but it's more than possible that I've missed a few. Dragfyre (talk) 03:47, 31 July 2024 (PDT)

I'll just move them over to bahaidata. David (talk) 07:42, 31 July 2024 (PDT)

Good idea! Actually, now that we're using bahaidata more extensively, I can look into using the bot to move interwiki information over there. Dragfyre (talk) 19:18, 31 July 2024 (PDT)

I don't know if it will help but this script will add interwiki links in data, maybe it can be used as an example. David (talk) 19:26, 31 July 2024 (PDT)
