Hello, Anomie,
AnomieBOT III stopped updating the broken redirects pages a couple of days ago. I'm aware of two other bots that stopped functioning properly around July 28th, too, so maybe this is people in Wikipedia HQ changing things without informing y'all. Once again. Liz Read!

to manually subst [{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/$title|hidelinks=1&hideredirs=1}} the existing transclusions]
? This will make it quicker and more convenient to see what happened.

In the article, Levels (Avicii song), all the quotations are in italics. I have put the article on peer review and someone wants me to remove the italics. I looked at Wikipedia's essay about quotations and apparently italics are against Wikipedia's guidelines. So, once you done fixing you bot, I would like your bot to remove the italics in each quotations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazman321 ( talk • contribs) 16:49, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a CfD request that is limited in scope to renaming, and Wikipedia:Move review says
Leave notice of the move review in the same section as, but outside of and above the closed original move discussion.

The subject matter added to the page regarding the lineage of the Bharatpur royal family , is factually wrong and has no proof , infact the Jat state was established by churaman Jat who was a landowner , and was successful in establishing the Bharatpur state in the 17th century .

An unexpected response to a ref name typo. Did not actually fix the error, just substituted different errors. I don't know if it is worth the effort of fixing, but it had me baffled until I spotted the typo.

I see that AnomieBOT is "rescuing" references by placing irrelevant references under certain reference names. Why does it do this? It ends up placing a reference that appears like it might be useful, but really isn't -- and can't possibly be, in fact. Does a human review the references that are "rescued"? (What does "rescue" really mean, anyway?) The problem is that the references don't pass verification, but aren't likely to be verified because they don't look particularly suspect. -- Mikeblas ( talk) 17:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Based on this old discussion, this new discussion ( permalink), a desire to avoid this nonsense, and (according to bradv) the fact that this sort of vandalism hasn't been attempted since May, do you think it would be possible to raise the TemplateSubster force max back to 100?

The bot added legal complaints from the person’s lawyer as the source for factual statements in the article. Legal complaints aren’t reliable sources in most cases. I just removed those a few hours ago per Wikipedia policy.

Thanks for editing my additions to the Hurricane Delta lead; I notice you've marked one of the sources as unreliable.

I notice that AnomieBOT sometimes loses information; in this case, the "abruf" parameter, an alias for "zugriff", was ignored and its contents were deleted upon substitution.

immediately after the pair of opening braces (which is all that AnomieBOT did), and save. Now, edit the page again and you will see that 2020-01-06

Just curious, Anomie, can User:AnomieBOT/TFDTemplateSubster be used to carry out orphan outcomes by fully noincluding, or blanking, the template and then shoving it onto that page? ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 23:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
This guy needs to be less aggressive. I was in the middle of upgrading an article called The Radio Reader and had just put in a couple more citation refs; when I tried to save them I got stepped on by an editing conflict message. As a result I had to reload the page and start over the whole addition of the citation, and a couple other changes I'd made.
According to the article history, looks like the conflict came from AnomieBot. [1] It's been about 10 years since I've experienced an edit-conflict. I'd bet that AnomieBot could have waited an hour - or a day - after my previous edit before 'dating maintenance tags'. Hardly a rush on that, what?
Twang ( talk) 18:27, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
I appreciate often the service of rescuing orphaned refs. Sometimes I delete some text and didn't intend to take away the ref from the rest of the article and Anomie restores it. Thanks for that. However, the primary reason I delete refs is because they're unreliable, or unsuitable as references, and so when I orphan a ref, there's a very good chance that I want it gone, and then Anomie comes around and does the opposite of that. Is there a configurable option for this or some tweak that could be done, perhaps? Thanks. Elizium23 ( talk) 05:42, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

This is an expansion of AnomieBOT's existing TemplateSubster. {{ Subst only}} doesn't have an option for "only in section headers"; I think that this template is the only template which would be relevant, so I don't think it's sensible to add a parameter to the template and modify this bot. Could this bot be expanded to do this? All the best, WT79 ( speak to me | editing patterns | what I been doing) 16:16, 29 October 2020 (UTC) (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.)
@ WT79: At first glance this doesn't seem like a task I'd want to pick up for AnomieBOT. The template is transcluded in 76893 pages at the moment, which the bot would need to re-scan each time they were edited to see if new uses inside headers had been added. If this should be done by a bot, it seems better suited to something like WP:WCW that processes database dumps. Anomie ⚔ 01:17, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

This could probably be resolved by comparing DOI values. ISBN would be useful too where relevant. Not clear if the bot uses any filter to disambiguate, or whether it would be worth the effort, but this problem is probably not going to get any smaller with time. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 07:48, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
I note one of the entries there (the one from
Bruniaceae) has a different DOI for some reason. And even if they all had the same DOI, the bot would still have to somehow choose which one to use. With or without the author and/or journal linked? With or without |doi-access=free
? With or without |format=PDF
? And so on, without actually being able to understand any of it.

Hi, Will the bot archive request if the status is withdrawn? -- CptViraj ( talk) 04:25, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
The bot archives WP:ITNC but we're hitting the WP:TLIMIT on the archived discussions. I'm wondering if the bot could strip out the cot/cob at the start of every day to get our overall template count down. The content is useful in the main discussion but has limited value I think in the archive. Alternatively a subst on those templates would get us under the tlimit and preserve the content. I'm relying on the ITN Template to do some analytics hacks so please don't subst that one. -- LaserLegs ( talk) 22:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
It's not the template count that's the problem, and removing the {{ cot}} and {{ cob}} isn't enough to make a difference for e.g. Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/August 2020. Your test is still broken starting from "(Posted) RD: Sixto Brillantes".
The limit being hit is the post-expand include size. On the August 2020 page, all the {{ cot}} and {{ cob}} combined contribute just 16,708 (0.8%); the transclusions of the portal pages contribute 1,181,313 (56%); all the {{ ITN candidate}} contribute 1,777,757 (85%); and all the rest of the templates on the page contribute 137,017 (6.5%). So you'd probably do better to be looking at {{ ITN candidate}} and {{ ITN candidate/user}}. You may find Help:Substitution#Recursive substitution helpful if you want to go the subst route there, although I find that just removing the long "give credit" link from {{ ITN candidate/user}} seems enough to bring August 2020 under the limit.

Hey there. Very minor, but figured I'd mention it. In my watchlist, I have it set to filter out edits that are marked with the "b" flag, therefore hiding most bot edits.

It looks like the bot needs better targeting to limit user welcome messages to user pages.

Please check and request you to remove the maintenance template at the earliest else we will do so in the next three days. -- Vinaynair85 ( talk) 10:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Help! A section in Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 July 25 contains the "is_closed" regex but not at the beginning of the section. Probably someone put the {{ cfd top}} before a section header instead of after. Anyway, I can't do anything to that page until someone fixes it.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a CfD request that is limited in scope to renaming, and Wikipedia:Move review says
Leave notice of the move review in the same section as, but outside of and above the closed original move discussion.

The subject matter added to the page regarding the lineage of the Bharatpur royal family , is factually wrong and has no proof , infact the Jat state was established by churaman Jat who was a landowner , and was successful in establishing the Bharatpur state in the 17th century .

An unexpected response to a ref name typo. Did not actually fix the error, just substituted different errors. I don't know if it is worth the effort of fixing, but it had me baffled until I spotted the typo. On the other hand it may be quite a common typo - it happens to me quite often, particularly on touch screen keyboards. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 06:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
I see that AnomieBOT is "rescuing" references by placing irrelevant references under certain reference names. Why does it do this? It ends up placing a reference that appears like it might be useful, but really isn't -- and can't possibly be, in fact. Does a human review the references that are "rescued"? (What does "rescue" really mean, anyway?) The problem is that the references don't pass verification, but aren't likely to be verified because they don't look particularly suspect. -- Mikeblas ( talk) 17:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

immediately after the pair of opening braces (which is all that AnomieBOT did), and save. Now, edit the page again and you will see that 2020-01-06

Just curious, Anomie, can User:AnomieBOT/TFDTemplateSubster be used to carry out orphan outcomes by fully noincluding, or blanking, the template and then shoving it onto that page? ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 23:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
This guy needs to be less aggressive. I was in the middle of upgrading an article called The Radio Reader and had just put in a couple more citation refs; when I tried to save them I got stepped on by an editing conflict message. As a result I had to reload the page and start over the whole addition of the citation, and a couple other changes I'd made.
According to the article history, looks like the conflict came from AnomieBot. [1] It's been about 10 years since I've experienced an edit-conflict. I'd bet that AnomieBot could have waited an hour - or a day - after my previous edit before 'dating maintenance tags'. Hardly a rush on that, what?
Twang ( talk) 18:27, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
I appreciate often the service of rescuing orphaned refs. Sometimes I delete some text and didn't intend to take away the ref from the rest of the article and Anomie restores it. Thanks for that. However, the primary reason I delete refs is because they're unreliable, or unsuitable as references, and so when I orphan a ref, there's a very good chance that I want it gone, and then Anomie comes around and does the opposite of that. Is there a configurable option for this or some tweak that could be done, perhaps? Thanks. Elizium23 ( talk) 05:42, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Please note: Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least one month before usurpation.
This is an expansion of AnomieBOT's existing TemplateSubster. {{ Subst only}} doesn't have an option for "only in section headers"; I think that this template is the only template which would be relevant, so I don't think it's sensible to add a parameter to the template and modify this bot. Could this bot be expanded to do this? All the best, WT79 ( speak to me | editing patterns | what I been doing) 16:16, 29 October 2020 (UTC) (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.)
@ WT79: At first glance this doesn't seem like a task I'd want to pick up for AnomieBOT. The template is transcluded in 76893 pages at the moment, which the bot would need to re-scan each time they were edited to see if new uses inside headers had been added. If this should be done by a bot, it seems better suited to something like WP:WCW that processes database dumps. Anomie ⚔ 01:17, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

This could probably be resolved by comparing DOI values. ISBN would be useful too where relevant. Not clear if the bot uses any filter to disambiguate, or whether it would be worth the effort, but this problem is probably not going to get any smaller with time. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 07:48, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
I note one of the entries there (the one from
Bruniaceae) has a different DOI for some reason. And even if they all had the same DOI, the bot would still have to somehow choose which one to use. With or without the author and/or journal linked? With or without |doi-access=free
? With or without |format=PDF
? And so on, without actually being able to understand any of it.

Hi, Will the bot archive request if the status is withdrawn? -- CptViraj ( talk) 04:25, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
The bot archives WP:ITNC but we're hitting the WP:TLIMIT on the archived discussions. I'm wondering if the bot could strip out the cot/cob at the start of every day to get our overall template count down. The content is useful in the main discussion but has limited value I think in the archive. Alternatively a subst on those templates would get us under the tlimit and preserve the content. I'm relying on the ITN Template to do some analytics hacks so please don't subst that one. -- LaserLegs ( talk) 22:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
It's not the template count that's the problem, and removing the {{ cot}} and {{ cob}} isn't enough to make a difference for e.g. Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/August 2020. Your test is still broken starting from "(Posted) RD: Sixto Brillantes".
The limit being hit is the post-expand include size. On the August 2020 page, all the {{ cot}} and {{ cob}} combined contribute just 16,708 (0.8%); the transclusions of the portal pages contribute 1,181,313 (56%); all the {{ ITN candidate}} contribute 1,777,757 (85%); and all the rest of the templates on the page contribute 137,017 (6.5%). So you'd probably do better to be looking at {{ ITN candidate}} and {{ ITN candidate/user}}. You may find Help:Substitution#Recursive substitution helpful if you want to go the subst route there, although I find that just removing the long "give credit" link from {{ ITN candidate/user}} seems enough to bring August 2020 under the limit.

Shouldn't this bot be theoretically able to rescue orphaned refs from the same article if it's linked on fr. de. ru. ? It would make translating and transitioning articles to other languages easier if this bot, or one like it, could search orphaned refs on the wikidata-linked variants of the same article.

{{

From what I can gather, AnomieBOT is supposed to have created the page Template:POTD_protected/2021-03-27 at around 22:00 last night, but it failed to do so.

big red error in the article. AnomieBOT tried to fix it by replacing that <ref name="filmreference"/>
with the ref content that had been removed, but as the link is blacklisted it failed. So it complained here so a human could look at things in context and fix it. It looks like you did so in

Hello, Anomie,
Typically, AnomieBOT III updates its broken redirect list every 6 hours but it's now missed two updates. I guess it's possible that we've gone 12 hours without any broken redirects on the entire project but I haven't seen that happen before. Just thought I'd inquire now as I won't be awake when its next update is due to be posted. Liz Read! Talk! 00:49, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I just reverted an edit from this bot to the *wiki* page for " Tropism".
It looks like the bot needs better targeting to limit user welcome messages to user pages.
Edit: Oh. It looks like an IP user added "\{\{hello\}\}" (no backslashes) to the end of the page and the bot replaced the template message with the contents of the template message. Probably should add a condition to limit template replacement for that template to user pages.

When you edited the article Gujarat Sultanate, you edited the main heading, but you did not edit the origin page, in which you are contrasting two different statements in the article. At least two verifiable sources say the origins of the Sultans were Khatris who converted to Islam. Please also do not edit nor remove any resourceful sources.

Hey ABOT: so here's an obscure one: when you date the {{ cn}} tag, and the tag is located within another template, such as infobox, the category created by the added date parameter is misformatted, with a comma separator in the year, such as Category:Articles with unsourced statements from July 2,021 and so the category does not exist.

Hello. I'd like to request the bot to run its WikiProjectTagger to tag relevant articles for the

here. The run would be for all articles within
Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe and
Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe drafts to tag the templates {{

. In thinking through this request, I believe there may be some articles, etc. that might not have either of these templates. If that is the case, does the bot have the ability to add full templates? If so, {{
WikiProject Film}} should be the one that is added, with the "mcu" parameter. I'm also pinging @
Gonnym: who was helping me (and pointed me to this bot) in case they see any issues with the proposals or anything that should be added. If there are any questions, please let me know. I am watching but a ping wouldn't hurt either. Thanks. -
