Potential task force?

[edit]

I originally posted this at WikiProject Hiking trails, but I figured I'd ask here due to the scopes being so similar.

Should a task force or subproject of some sort be created under the topic of National Recreation Trails? I feel like every trail with this designation would be notable and deserves an article, but there are hundreds and hundreds of different trails, so I think more people would be needed to help create and maintain these articles. Are there any objections to this idea and would there be anyone else interested in working on this topic? Jordano53 (talk) 23:17, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User script to detect unreliable sources

[edit]

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
