Erroneous interwiki link moved to footer; should have been corrected or left alone

In this edit, AWB's general fixes appear to have moved an intended interwiki link that was missing its initial colon. Since we haven't used this style of link to indicate article names in other languages for many years, AWB should either fix this sort of link by adding a colon or ignore it. It should not move the link to the end of the page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:45, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have just cleaned up dozens of cases where AWB did this to links of the form MOS:EXAMPLE, thinking they were interwiki links to ISO 639:mos (example). I think overall the "fix" is doing more harm than good, and should be disabled. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:04, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stub moving

Applies for 6.4 (but for previous as well): is there any option how to opt-out moving stub template right before the categories?

WikiProjectBannerShell fixes - updates per T358963

I took an item about removing |blp=no off the list of WikiProjectBannerShell fixes because it seems to have been removed by Phabricator task T358963 in version 6.4.0.0. See this discussion for some context. However, I don't feel super confident that the current list accurately reflects what AWB is currently doing - if anyone more familiar with AWB and/or Phabricator wants to review the list and make sure it lines up with AWB's behavior after T358963 and any other recent changes, that might be helpful.
