Early issue - Remove duplicated entries

This was asked to sysadmin@fsf.org over one year ago:

The value of |Extension of= is displayed twice in some entries (one year ago perhaps 5 duplicated were displayed but John Sullivan managed to fix most of the duplicates either by himself or someone else). For example, "Add to Search Bar" appear twice there, but "Aardvark" appear only once.

The duplicates also affect lists that the entries are in, see this page for test purpose that I've set up: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat

       > I contacted Joshua in March this year about this and he responded.

    Please report the bug tosysadmin@gnu.org.

Bug tracker

AFAIK there are no pages on directory.fsf.org that deal with internal bugs and feedback and perhaps it should not: I vote for a dedicated bug tracker.

Meanwhile, we need to add the bug form seen at https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User:Mattl to Free_Software_Directory:IceCat_extensions_(proposed) but it is not simple and just copy the code. What is missing?

Invalid HTML

The IceCat entry in the FSD is not valid.

https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdirectory.fsf.org%2Fwiki%2FIceCat&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

84 errors was discovered. Can you please work to make the wiki valid?

I found out that IceCat add-ons like Snap Links Plus cannot be used to open multiple links for example. I really need it to work to work effectively.

License list

How do we list all 251 licenses found in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Category:License to "Edit -> Licenses" for entries?

All license _must_ be listed. Example:

• I added this page: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Creative_Commons_Attribution_Share-Alike_4.0
• I Added "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0" to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Anti-Adblock_Killer
• Anti-Adblock Killer is not listed in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat/Greasemonkey. It will list Anti-Adblock Killer only if I select a license from the list

Therefore is should neither be possible to enter licenses in free text.

Remove duplicated text in license link in form

https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat#tab=Details

"License:MPLv2.0" should go to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:MPLv2.0 not https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:License:MPLv2.0

 (which currently show https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=License:License:MPLv2.0&action=edit&redlink=1 as the page have not been created as it is not valid).

Please check if other licenses in the list are affected as well.

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to a FSD entry. Example https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat
• Click Edit -> Licenses. Click "Add another" and select "License: MPLv2.0"
• Save the page
• Go to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat#tab=Details which now show "License:MPLv2.0" instead of "MPLv2.0"

How to list incomplete software

I don't know how to to ask for empty values, please help me.

{{#ask:
[[Name::+]]
License = EMPTY
or License copyright = EMPTY
or License verified = EMPTY
or License verified date = EMPTY
}}

Free_Software_Directory:Requirements

From https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory_talk:Requirements I think this should be added to the page:

• Click on "Create account" at top right in this wiki to create a Free Software Foundation Central Login Username. Log in.
• Adding a description at you profile page is optional but not doing so might trick people that your user is inactive as your link text will remain red.
