URL Error Warning

[edit]

The article is coming along nicely; however, I see a repeated error being made. The error was introduced by an edit ([Year-based URL error introduction edit]) involving the copying and pasting of the URLs from one award year's inline citation into another year's inline citation. This is a reasonable approach if you are familiar with the site's metadata; however, it can produce errors if care is not taken.

In this case, a URL like www.librarything.com/award/2525.0.0.2006/Davitt-Award-2006 needs to be changed in two places to create the new URL (i.e. 2006 to 2008). If the 2006 at the end is the only year value changed (i.e. from 2006 to 2008), the URL will still point to 2006, for example: www.librarything.com/award/2525.0.0.2006/Davitt-Award-2008 [ERROR].

You need to change both year values, like so: www.librarything.com/award/2525.0.0.2008/Davitt-Award-2008.

To the average user, this problem is hard to spot, as the links still work despite pointing to a completely different year than intended. This error only seemed to affect the LibraryThing URLs, and it has now been fixed in the edit I just made. I am mentioning it here so that editors are mindful of this past problem.

[edit]

I'm happy about the re-instatment of the citation from THE AGE newspaper. I probably tried to do too much in the one editing session earlier today and dropped that one when it should have been retained. Some of the others I removed due to the tendency of the linked pages to either change location, be dropped altogether or to be moved behind a paywall.
