When there are two identical parameters in a citation template, the bot renames one to <code>DUPLICATE_xxx=</code>. The bot is pointing out the problem with the template.

And now that there is discussion above about the widespread useless cosmetic edits this bot continues to waste everyone's time with, I'll raise it: Why must every citation of a publisher's webpage be changed to to <a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_book" title="Template:Cite book">Cite book</a>? I can only speak for myself, but every time I cite such book webpages I am not citing the book itself. I am specifically referencing the information published on the webpage. So of course I do not want the citation to be changed to Cite book with a bunch of parameters of the book itself (ISBN, date, etc) added. So I inevitably stop the bot or replace the reference with a third-party source. I realise the defense will be "It doesn't hurt" or that some users are actually citing the book. And I realise this is not the most pressing issue, but why must the bot come to its own conclusion of the editor's intent? I see another user <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot/Archive_32#Web->Book:_I_don't_think_that_it_was_right_in_this_case..." title="User talk:Citation bot/Archive 32">complained of this issue last year</a>. <a href="/wiki/User:%CE%9F%E1%BC%B6%CE%B4%CE%B1" title="User:Οἶδα">Οἶδα</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:%CE%9F%E1%BC%B6%CE%B4%CE%B1" title="User talk:Οἶδα">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-Οἶδα-20230927222500-Changing_every_citation_of_a_publisher's_webpage_to_Cite_book" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:25, 27 September 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Οἶδα-20230927222500-Changing_every_citation_of_a_publisher's_webpage_to_Cite_book"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Οἶδα-20230927222500-Changing_every_citation_of_a_publisher's_webpage_to_Cite_book"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jacobolus-20230928013800-Οἶδα-20230927222500"></span>This may be the kind of situation where it's safest to explicitly tell citation bot not to muck with the citation. It's hard to automatically judge whether the human editor actually wanted "cite web" or "cite book". (There are many examples of people using "cite web" to cite resources that should actually be books, journal articles, etc.) –<a href="/wiki/User:Jacobolus" title="User:Jacobolus">jacobolus</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jacobolus" title="User talk:Jacobolus">(t)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-Jacobolus-20230928013800-Οἶδα-20230927222500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:38, 28 September 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jacobolus-20230928013800-Οἶδα-20230927222500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jacobolus-20230928013800-Οἶδα-20230927222500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Οἶδα-20231013213200-Jacobolus-20230928013800"></span>I understand. But it still feels like an another unnecessary task for this bot to insert itself into every article it can possibly find. For example, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carlos_Rojas_(sinologist)&diff=prev&oldid=1180001423">this edit</a> is completely useless and actually corrupts my intention of the citation.

In the specific case you've linked just above, another option would be not to cite the publisher's landing page at all, and add the book to a "Selected works" subsection or something. Indeed, the altered citation is sequential to another one, and so seems a bit superfluous. Or, alternatively, use "Citation bot bypass" somewhere in your citation as suggested by <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jacobolus">jacobolus</a></span> above.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>Given the overall lazy referencing culture of less experienced editors, it's likely that in the majority of cases, people who drop a link to a publisher landing page are probably trying to cite the book itself, so this behaviour of assuming that's the case is net beneficial. <a href="/wiki/User:Folly_Mox" title="User:Folly Mox">Folly Mox</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Folly_Mox" title="User talk:Folly Mox">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-Folly_Mox-20231013221300-Οἶδα-20231013213200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:13, 13 October 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Folly_Mox-20231013221300-Οἶδα-20231013213200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Folly_Mox-20231013221300-Οἶδα-20231013213200"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Οἶδα-20231014063500-Folly_Mox-20231013221300"></span>I cannot personally maintain that the majority of users citing a publisher's webpage are lazily intending to cite the book itself.

It is creating an error, because formerly readers could see the paper title, see the book title (called a journal, but still formatted in italics the way readers would expect a book title to look), and see that it was a paper in a book with that title. After the edit, readers were presented only with the paper title, formatted as a book title, falsely telling them both in visible appearance and reference metadata that the reference was to an entire book-length work. It is not merely that it is creating CS1 errors, although that is bad enough. It is also making the reference less accurate in both its metadata and in its visible appearance. —<a href="/wiki/User:David_Eppstein" title="User:David Eppstein">David Eppstein</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:David_Eppstein" title="User talk:David Eppstein">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-David_Eppstein-20240620232000-Headbomb-20240620231100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-David_Eppstein-20240620232000-Headbomb-20240620231100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-David_Eppstein-20240620232000-Headbomb-20240620231100"></span></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Folly_Mox-20240621000200-David_Eppstein-20240620230700"></span>I've gotten really exhausted with this category of error introduced by Citation bot, which I encounter every day I edit. I used to creep its contributions and clean up after it, but I've started just reverting its edits that cause this kind of template error, regardless of any value added, and only sometimes actually fix up the citations myself. Few of the editors who call Citation bot on large sets of pages ever check in after it to see if it's causing errors, so typically no one notices my reverts.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>I saw a few weeks back that for one subset of conferences (IEEE maybe? or SPIE?)

Iverson">Kenneth E. Iverson</a>, one of the references is to a paper in the "Conference proceedings on APL as a tool of thought - APL '89", published in a special issue of <i>APL Quote Quad</i>, a periodical. It had a cite conference format but a journal= parameter, a CS1 error, which I fixed in <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1238853961" title="Special:Diff/1238853961">Special:Diff/1238853961</a>. It is not possible to simultaneously format it as a book and a periodical; I deliberately chose one, using cite journal to get most of the metadata correct and using department= to provide the remaining metadata, that this journal issue is a conference proceedings and the name of the proceedings. In the very next edit <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1239895881" title="Special:Diff/1239895881">Special:Diff/1239895881</a>, Citation bot under the control of <a href="/wiki/User:Headbomb" title="User:Headbomb">User:Headbomb</a> edit-warred to restore the citation to its unfixed CS1 error state as a cite book with erroneous journal parameter, but now with an extra erroneous department parameter. Incidentally, all of the major computer graphics conferences and many database conferences now publish their conference proceedings as special issues of journals (and have done so for years), and there are many older programming language conference proceedings published in <i>ACM SIGPLAN Notices</i>. This is something we must handle properly, not a weird one-off situation that we can handle by marking it as special. The situation that the citation templates do not make it easy or convenient to cite such things should not be exacerbated by the citation bot not understanding these things and lobotomizing the citations to fit its poor understanding.</dd> <dt>What should happen</dt> <dd>Not that</dd> <dt>We can't proceed until</dt> <dd>Feedback from maintainers</dd></dl> </div> <p><br/> </p> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:David_Eppstein" title="User:David Eppstein">David Eppstein</a>, <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_conference" title="Template:Cite conference">Cite conference</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> supports both book and journal parameters.

Who would reprint a whole conference proceedings as a second, separate publication, and why? —<a href="/wiki/User:David_Eppstein" title="User:David Eppstein">David Eppstein</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:David_Eppstein" title="User talk:David Eppstein">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-David_Eppstein-20240814054000-Headbomb-20240814052600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:40, 14 August 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-David_Eppstein-20240814054000-Headbomb-20240814052600"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-David_Eppstein-20240814054000-Headbomb-20240814052600"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-XOR'easter-20240814230100-David_Eppstein-20240814054000"></span>They have identical publication dates (1 July 1989) as well as page numbers, and both PDFs are marked with "APL QUOTE QUAD" in the page footers. <a href="/wiki/User:XOR%27easter" title="User:XOR'easter">XOR'easter</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:XOR%27easter" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:XOR'easter">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-XOR'easter-20240814230100-David_Eppstein-20240814054000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:01, 14 August 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-XOR'easter-20240814230100-David_Eppstein-20240814054000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-XOR'easter-20240814230100-David_Eppstein-20240814054000"></span></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jacobolus-20240821075600-Headbomb-20240814052600"></span>Canceling deliberate bot exclusions, as in <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1240206999" title="Special:Diff/1240206999">special:diff/1240206999</a>, without consensus/discussion, seems way, way out of line. –<a href="/wiki/User:Jacobolus" title="User:Jacobolus">jacobolus</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jacobolus" title="User talk:Jacobolus">(t)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-Jacobolus-20240821075600-Headbomb-20240814052600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:56, 21 August 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jacobolus-20240821075600-Headbomb-20240814052600"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jacobolus-20240821075600-Headbomb-20240814052600"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="caps" data-mw-thread-id="h-caps-20240916195600"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-caps-20240916195600"></span>caps<span data-mw-comment-end="h-caps-20240916195600"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Citation_bot&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: caps"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <div style="clear: both;

The documentation doesn't say where "next to" (before or after a parameter value?), nor has he answered my request to clarify what he meant. The original objective was to block Citation bot from altering a stated URL. I wanted Citation bot to bypass the citation entirely, but Citation bot continues to modify the URL despite my use of option #2. Now I know <i>you</i> think the documentation was already clear (it wasn't), and that my edit to remove "modify" to option #3 is less clear (I read your revert edit summary yesterday), however, reverting my edit doesn't contribute to clarifying what to do if a parameter value is specified that one wants to be untouched by Citation bot. My edit summary should have given you notice that for a reader, at least this one, the documentation was not clear... and it was an invitation for you to make it more clear (which you didn't do). All I want is for someone to fix option #2 or, failing that, someone to clarify how to use option #3. That shouldn't be so difficult. <span style="text-shadow:#000 0em 0em 1em"><a href="/wiki/User:Grorp" title="User:Grorp"><span style="color:#6a0dad"> ▶ I am Grorp ◀ </span></a></span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Citation_bot#c-Grorp-20241123171700-Headbomb-20241123170000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Grorp-20241123171700-Headbomb-20241123170000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Grorp-20241123171700-Headbomb-20241123170000"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-AManWithNoPlan-20241123180000-Grorp-20241123171700"></span>The docs are updated.
