libranet twitter import synchronization
[edit]https://libranet.de/profile/whonix![]()
"Whonix 17.0.1.9 - for VirtualBox - Major Release - Debian 12 / bookworm based - Testers Wanted!"
according to nitter (dont have twitter account):
This isnt the last post, so please sign in to libranet and try to relink the bot (or so) to twitter.
Patrick:
There is no twitter setting anymore.
Quote https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/11157#issuecomment-1637042101![]()
This is likely obsolete due to Twitter addon deprecation.
Please move to archived down on this wiki page so we don't forget about this.
Test Wiki Query Parameters (DebugJS, without JS..etc)
[edit]- Check this wiki chapter and test Dev/wiki#Custom_CSS_JavaScript_Debugging.
Checking Broken Links
[edit]- https://ahrefs.com/broken-link-checker

(requires JS)
- https://www.deadlinkchecker.com/website-dead-link-checker.asp

- https://www.drlinkcheck.com/

- https://sitechecker.pro/

(require an account for free 7 days trial)
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RottenLinks

Notice Only
[edit]Notice only. Information only. Not a task.
Keep links such as:
A)
[https://manpages.debian.org/modesetting Debian manpages: ModeSetting]
Do not change to:
B)
https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/xserver-xorg-core/modesetting.4.en.html
This is because A) is more generic. Debian already redirects to the most recent release and link. No need to use the more specific link which will break in a few years.
Links Knowledge
[edit]In https://www.kicksecure.com/w/index.php?title=Mobile_Phone_Security&oldid=61483&diff=cur![]()
you changed from
https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-arabia-imei-track-runaways-2019-5
to
https://www.businessinsider.nl/saudi-arabia-imei-track-runaways-2019-5?international=true&r=US
That is actually a regression. The first regression is better.
1) The part ?international=true&r=US should not be added. (Don't add bold part. Try if it works without. If it works without, don't add it.)
https://www.businessinsider.nl/saudi-arabia-imei-track-runaways-2019-5![]()
?international=true&r=US
2) I don't think .com was changed to .nl. It's unlikely that a primarily English news websites changes its domain from .com to .nl. Probably just some weird redirection due to Tor IP and IP detection. That link shouldn't have been changed.
Double Redirects to Single Redirects
[edit]https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Special:DoubleRedirects![]()
Howto:
Example bad, now:
Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies Proxy Chains and VPN Services -> Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies, Proxy Chains, and VPN Services -> Tor vs Proxy
What we need to do is:
Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies Proxy Chains and VPN Services -> Tor vs Proxy
Practical fix:
Go to Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies Proxy Chains from Special:DoubleRedirects and press on edit and change from:
#REDIRECT [[Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies, Proxy Chains, and VPN Services]]
To
#REDIRECT [[Tor vs Proxy]]

Grammar fixing tools

Unsupported, only support posts (like twitter or facebook or email..) not for/when editing a page or so (yet).

ChatGPT:
Doesnt work with long wikis/paragraphs, only small portions of text needed to be posted at a time to correct it properly (not useful for pages grammar correction).
