Hi Σ , I was sent here from Wikipedia:Help_desk#Edits_by_user when I asked about this broken tool. Am I at the right address, and if so can this problem be fixed? It’s a tool that many editors rely on but which breaks regularly without providing contact information. Is there anything that cn be done about this? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech ( talk) 01:31, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Σ, I was sent your way by Kudpung to try to start work on Scottywong's tools. I've got an account on labs and am fluent in Python. :) Samuel Tarling ( talk) 09:30, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far
Casliber (
submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was
Coemgenus (
submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Hi, Σ! A couple of days ago, I discovered a User box you created Template:User MadeArticles which I found very useful. As you know, it makes use of a script found on the Wikilabs site (sigma/created.py), which you made. It was working just fine a couple of days ago. After checking now, I noticed that for some reason it is down and I get a "No webservice" message. Is this something which you could rectify? It's a very useful tool and it would be great to have it up and running once again. Thank you. -- Omer Toledano ( talk) 05:22, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

I see that the Edit summary search link in MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer is no longer working. It's that something that is coming back up soon, or should the link be removed/commented out from the footer? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 05:45, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Comment: To clarify, I had a section of my talk page unarchived from this past April not one week ago. I just want to check that it's working correctly --

Today (13 Sept 01:36) Lowercase_sigmabot_III archived two relatively new sections from Talk:Punjab region (Ordering of the largest cities in the Punjab by population 2015, Land of saints? 2015), but left four much earlier sections (Categorisation 2004, Rice and wheat statistics 2005, Haryana 2005, So, when was partition reversed?). The earlier sections are not marked for retention. Is this a fault of the bot? Apuldram ( talk) 14:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

I wrote one-sentence-long articles because I couldn't write more of that. Before I have created new articles I looked similar older articles. Thanks. -- BrunoMed ( talk) 16:57, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
