		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:WikiOriginal-9 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I would like to nominate Red Director to be Editor of the Week. The veteran editor has been editing since 2006 and is one of the most prolific Wikipedians of all time. He has amassed over 1 million edits (#16 all time) in the nearly two decades since he registered his account, adding an untold number of references and making pages conform to style guidelines. I suspect you could go to any modern American football biography and you would be able to find Red Director somewhere in the edit history. Good luck trying to find a bare url on an NFL article. With Red Director around, they are as rare as gold as he is constantly chipping away at things and making the encyclopedia better at a pace and quality that few can match.

Hi I'm trying to gain insights to the work posted on this website as I currently produce a lot of different materials and I feel as if this wasn't being cited and or reflected properly.

I'm almost done with User:Tavix/List of NFL players but there are still some players missing. Do you have a good way of figuring out who is missing? I am not including 2024 players in the totals. I'll update those at the end of the season. For example, User:Tavix/List of NFL players (S) has 2588 out of 2589 players from PFR. It would be nice if I could figure out who is missing somehow without going through the whole list player by player again. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:06, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240926020600","author":"WikiOriginal-9","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-WikiOriginal-9-20240926020600-Question","replies":["c-Red_Director-20240926025400-WikiOriginal-9-20240926020600","c-WikiOriginal-9-20241002124900-WikiOriginal-9-20240926020600"],"displayName":"~WikiOriginal-9~"}}-->

Not the most perfect way, but I am a little tired and have to work tomorrow. I did a quick parse.

These are the URLs that appear on the "S" page on PFR that do not appear on Tavix's page. However, some are 2024 rookies. Hope this helps.

You are welcome. It is a bit of a difficult process if you are not used to Microsoft Excel, but I will go into detail. I used a Chrome Extension called Link Klipper or Linkclump (cannot remember off the top of my head) to pull the URLs off of PFR in order. It generates an Excel spreadsheet off of your choice. When you do that, you have to clear out all of the secondary links that do not have the needed URLs. For Tavix's page, I get rid of the headers in the source editor and paste everything into Excel on another column. You have to use the TEXTBEFORE or TEXTAFTER function in Excel to get rid of the clutter from PFR and the Wiki on excel to just get the URLs. Paste from the clipboard when finished to get the formulas out and static text into Excel. Paste the information from Column 2 into the bottom of Column 1 and do the Excel feature to highlight duplicate cells. That turns the duplicate cells red by default. Sort the column by color to make the white cells, which are unique, at the top or bottom to parse out. It is a bit of a process but it seems to work. Best wishes.

Refill does add the player profile titles. That's the only thing that really needs added. The rest of the formatting can be done with "find and replace" since they are all the same.

I knocked out all of the small pages but I keep getting errors during the middle of the big pages, which stops the whole process. reFill only went partway through B and F before I received an error.

Sorry, this is my last message about this.

No problem at all! I have an idea where I can make refs through Excel using the PFR site data, but it would have to cross-checked to Tavix's page. There is no quick way to do this I fear, but I will keep thinking.

Don't worry about it anymore. I'm doing it pretty quick by doing section-by-section. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:14, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241002191400","author":"WikiOriginal-9","type":"comment","level":14,"id":"c-WikiOriginal-9-20241002191400-Red_Director-20241002191200","replies":[],"displayName":"~WikiOriginal-9~"}}-->

At PFR, scroll down to "Frivolities" and click on Players who played for multiple teams. If you enter the same team twice, it generates an all-time roster. For example, here is the list of Arizona Cardinals players. Click "All Players" at that link to see the list (2104 players). (Someone at PFR told me how to do this after I emailed them about all-time rosters.) There is also a "share & export" button for Excel and stuff.

So basically, I am wondering if there is a way to generate the team all-time rosters on-wiki based off of linking the PFR URLs up to the URLs at our master list (List of NFL players). NOT asking you to do anything, just brainstorming. I would like to accomplish this with as little manual input as possible. Doing this manually would take forever, lol. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:05, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241007180500","author":"WikiOriginal-9","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-WikiOriginal-9-20241007180500-Team_lists","replies":["c-WikiOriginal-9-20241007182300-WikiOriginal-9-20241007180500"],"displayName":"~WikiOriginal-9~"}}-->

I'm putting all the players in a master list right now. Then I'm going to put the article wikilinks in their own column in Excel. Then I will do your method above for the rest.

No problem! I will look into the above later. Whatever we are trying to do is for the greater good so no worries about picking my brain.

It won't let me save it. It said the page was too long. I didn't even know that was possible, lol.

• I created an NFL player "master list" txt file, and then pasted it into the first column of an Excel worksheet. I then "split" the column into two separate columns at the < symbol (from <ref>). I then used find and replace to delete all the extraneous text from the second column so now I just have Column A of already disambiguated article names and Column B of bare urls. I then saved my master Excel spreadsheet so I will not have to do the steps before this every time. Everything that follows below, I will have to do every time but it doesn't take that long.

Steps to generate an NFL all-time roster after you have already created the master Excel spreadsheet:

• 1. Open master Excel spreadsheet.
• 2. Use LinkClipper here to extract links to a txt file.
• 3. Open txt file and remove all non-relevant text.
• 4. Paste the txt file URLs under Column B in Excel.
• 5. Conditional Formatting --> Highlight Cells Rules --> Duplicate Values
• 6. Sort by color and remove white rows.
• 7. Paste the list of players on-wiki (Example: User:WikiOriginal-9/List of Arizona Cardinals players)
• 8. Use "find and replace" and ReFill to fill out referencing on-wiki.
• 9. Done.

The only thing though is that I have 2,353 Cardinals players and PFR says there are 2,104 but everything else worked right. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:18, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241007201800","author":"WikiOriginal-9","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-WikiOriginal-9-20241007201800-Team_lists","replies":["c-Red_Director-20241007202000-WikiOriginal-9-20241007201800"],"displayName":"~WikiOriginal-9~"}}-->

No, I was just letting you know. I'm gonna have to figure out why PFR says there are only 2104 Cardinals players... But I think this method will work good.

Okay, last message, but I figured it out. I accidentally pasted some of the lists like List of NFL players (I) twice into my master spreadsheet, so that's what caused the extra 200 duplicates. Once I remove those, it will come out right.

Please don't take this is a criticism because you are awesome and I love the work you do here. But do you think you can add maybe add all the links for the footballstats template you've been adding at the same time? It just seems kinda counterproductive to add links sporadically over months and would help to have all players having the same consistent links.

That's a fair ask. It does take a while to parse the data by hand on multiple sites is my only rationale. However, not a big deal. Will do.
