ARA, section, reflist [multiple issues] July 23, 2013 ย Fixed
Hi JJ. Thank you for ARA, great tool. Forgive me if the following matter has been brought to your attention before, I did a search and could not find it mentioned. When editing this section I noticed that ARA suggested to fix a mising reflist. The article as such has a Reference setion with a reflist. Best, Sam ๐ค 08:04, 23 July 2013 (UTC) ย Done[reply]
Hi again JJ. Another little thing that I can't figure out if has been reported previously. I had added a ref to Ferrari F2004 and ARA gave me the "missing Reflist fix" warning. Here it what seems to be the case. ย Done
The culprit seems to be {{Commons category}} placed before the See also list. If {{Commons category}} is moved below the list, there is no problem. I have left the Ferrari F2004 article untouched for your testing. If you want to add a ref and remove the unref tag, you can use this source: <ref name="Acerbi2006">{{cite book|author=Leonardo Acerbi|title=Ferrari: A Complete Guide to All Models|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=AcadRoNSWeEC&pg=PA361|accessdate=2 August 2013|year=2006|publisher=MotorBooks International|isbn=978-0-7603-2550-6|pages=361โ|quote=The Ferrari F2004 looked like a logical evolution of the previous season's F2003-GA, at least as far as its exterior lines were concerned.

Similar problem, only now the Reflist gets too far down and (sort of) "violates" WP:ORDER: Try insert this source <ref name="ArmstrongClark2008">{{cite book|author1=Kate Armstrong|author2=Michael Clark|author3=Chris Deliso|title=Greek Islands|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=4PDWSOx4lUwC&pg=PA128|accessdate=2013-08-07|year=2008|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=978-1-74104-314-3|pages=128โ|quote=At least three ferries daily leave Andros' main port of Gavrio ...

One more in Graphical timeline from Big Bang to Heat Death. The comment outside square brackets in the last See also entry seems to be the challenge here.

Hi again JJ. In article Dato' Keramat LRT station I noticed, that when the section heading for External links is written with cap L, ==External Links==, fixing a missing reflist with ARA will put ==References== below the EL section. Best, Sam ๐ค 10:04, 22 August 2013 (UTC) ย Done[reply]
Invalid ref position function error October 4, 2013 ย On hold until error occurs again
I know the invalid ref position function has a problem of always picking the first instance of <ref> tags when there is a continuing problem of </ref>. instances in the article. โ JJJ(say hello) 17:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've only encountered an issue with this function in one article, so I won't address this problem until it happens again. โ JJJ(say hello) 14:37, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Missing ref groups function error October 11, 2013 ย Fixed
If reference groups such as "nb" are present, the Reflist group isn't added as it's supposed to.ย Done โ JJJ(say hello) 20:14, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The reference group is added, but I think there is a problem with the unnecessary ref groups function that is displaying an 'undefined' fix link.ย Done โ JJJ(say hello) 20:34, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Should add function to modify "unreferenced" and "no footnotes" tags October 23, 2013 ย Added
If ARA adds a {{reflist}} and a {{no footnotes}} is present alter it to {{more footnotes|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} }}, or if {{unreferenced}} is present alter it to {{refimprove|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}}. -- PBS (talk) 17:43, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
ย In progress. I'll look into this. โ JJJ(say hello) 21:04, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
ย Half done@PBS I added a function to the script to remove the tags if <ref> tags and the {{reflist}} template is present, but it won't add {{refimprove}} because not all articles need more references. That/(those) added citations could have completely verified all statements in the (especially if a small) article. โ JJJ(say hello) 23:25, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Glitch when removing inapplicable tag February 12, 2015 ย Fixed
Hi JJJ, and thanks for ARA. Have a look at this edit. Best, -- SamSing! 14:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Sam Sailor: Hey Sam, sorry I took so long to respond and fix this issue. It appears that the issue was because the inapplicable tag was included in a {{multiple issues}} tag. I believe I have fixed the issue. If you encounter this issue again, please let me know. โ TheJJJunk(say hello) 22:48, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi JJJ. Try open Ahn Sang-hong in edit mode. A {{notelist}} is present under a level-3 heading, and ARA will suggest "missing notelistfix". Fixing adds a second {{notelist}}, breaking the heading markup. Thanks for keeping the script updated. SamSailor 11:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@1234qwer1234qwer4: I believe the script improperly recognized the lower-alpha in {{Reflist|group=lower-alpha}} as a note. โ TheJJJunk(say hello) 22:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ARA.js will occasionally freeze. I tried to blank my common.js, vector.js and global.js and only run ARA, and still, it happens. When I insert a citation in <ref>...</ref> tags, *bamm* it halts. The console says:
Error: Script terminated by timeout at: index.php:805:17

This only happen occasionally. I have tried to think about if the pages on which it happens have anything in common, but I see no pattern. Still it is a great tool, thank you once again. Hope you are well. SamSailor 16:30, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Don't "fix" reference positions in template parameters[edit]
<>4 suggestions: unnecessary reference groups (= *''[[Cryptococcus)fix unnecessary reference groups (= *''[[Nakaseomyces)fix extra whitespace in citation ( url=)fix unnecessary reference groups (= *''[[Scedosporium]]'')fix
There are no reference groups, only sections with โgroupโ in the name. The script thus has a false positive. awkwafaba (๐ฅ) 16:09, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
