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

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)

Hi! I was wondering if you can help me. Any ideas why refill doesn't handle Eurosport.com/Eurosport.co.uk web addresses? I swear it used to work. Example page is 2024 World Snooker Championship Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:12, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: hmm, interesting. I created User:Curb Safe Charmer/sandbox to test this. I see what you mean. No, I don't know why it doesn't work. Nothing obvious. Would require some debugging. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Interesting. I was worried I'd done something wrong. Any ideas who might be able to help me with that? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:02, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

deadurl parameteredit]

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T305178

Why is this tool still using the deadurl parameter instead of url-status? I can see that it was changed in the GitHub repository last year, but it still creating the deprecated parameter. What needs to be done to get the code rolled out to the tool? —Ost (talk) 19:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ost316: The project needs volunteer developers, with skills in the tech stack. If you fit the bill, please volunteer! Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 07:18, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Removing filled references with 'None' in subsequent runedit]

This issue is still persisting. Some or the other reference filled previously getting replaced with None in a subsequent run.

"Agathokakological (2024) - Movie | Reviews, Cast & Release Date - BookMyShow".

➡

"None".

No, I was asking for a link to your actual edit. Which article was it in? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

List of Malayalam films of 2024. I did not proceed to save any Refill run which resulted in errors.
