Book:"Alternative medicine", as at 2014 CE listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Book:"Alternative medicine", as at 2014 CE. Since you had some involvement with the Book:"Alternative medicine", as at 2014 CE redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

AWB and ellipses etc.

You might have noticed I had much the same complaint as you. Of course he means well. I don't use AWB myself -- do we really allow amateurs to just make up their own search/replace tables like that? I thought all these tasks were reviewed by some committee or something. EEng 06:08, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

@EEng: Anyone can make any search/replace thing they want with any tool they want, with nothing reviewed by anyone. However per WP:AWBRULES, edits are still subject to consensus, and WP:MEATBOT also applies. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:08, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

I guess I forgot that AWB doesn't count as a bot. Since I don't use it myself, I won't be able to give more than rough advice for REs for fixing the recent ellipsis messups. Could you help along those lines? EEng 16:13, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

@EEng: REs? Anyway, there's not much advice to give except don't blindly click save without actually reviewing the whole diff you're being presented with. As for fixing the current mess, I reverted/rollbacked all edits that messed up bibcodes already. There may be more issues, but none that i can see at the moment from a quick glance.

RE = regular expression. For some reason I thought you'd have used them with AWB. Look higher on his talkpage, where you'll see my plaints about other ...-related problems. EEng 18:09, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Well you could have regexed something with the advanced "in template" search of AWB but to late for that now.Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:36, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, I couldn't have done that because I don't have AWB. EEng 18:38, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Please check

It appears that your edit here where your changed the header level broke AnomieBot's BAGBot function (see this query from the bot).-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:52, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
