I've been thinking of MZ's comment that subpages made sense in 2010, but not 2022. What if AnomieBOT created JSON pages, with one per month or even year, and have the TFA titles keyed by YYYY-MM-DD date or similar. I think that would avoid any concerns about "complicated parsing" in the Lua side since JSON is pretty safe and fast, and still be easily machine readable for TFA Protector Bot and other tools. And hopefully the reduction in pages would annoy less people (and you can't categorize JSON pages...). Legoktm ( talk) 07:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

These Signpost redirects have no incoming links, and result in various scripts/analytics not working correctly; can they be added to a whitelist (or a "stay-red list", as it were) for the auto-create task? jp× g 22:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

allpages
endpoint; while I could filter redirects from that, it seems much simpler to simply avoid them altogether. They don't seem necessary to me: as far as I can tell, nobody ever types in the titles of Signpost articles directly. Indeed, pageviews for these redirects are extremely low (i.e.
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-08-01/Election guide/Candidate Op-Ed - Mike Peel had 12 pageviews the week of publication, probably because it was linked to by accident in a draft version of an article. Furthermore, there aren't many redirects in Signpost article space; to be more precise, there are none, since I cleaned them up yesterday (there were about 150 of them, created incidentally by renamings and typos over the course of 20 years of publication). I am personally averse to the idea of all scripts having to include weird edge-case carveouts for 11 of of 8,000-some pages, although I admit this is my preference rather than an objective fact. Of course, I imagine that you would also prefer to run your bot without weird edge-case carveouts for Signpost pages. At any rate, I have retitled these 11 articles in question to use commas instead of en-dashes to alleviate the issue for now, but would still prefer an exemption for Signpost articles in general.

In the Anuradha Koirala article, an anonymous user made an edit that injected a bunch of prose into the name of an existing reference. AnomieBOT came along and copied that text into another invocation of the same reference name.
Are AnomieBOT's edits monitored? It seems like they should be, becuase it often makes referencing errors worse. Any human editor would've propertly fixed it, but since the bot quickly buried the issue, the problem was hidden for months. -- Mikeblas ( talk) 18:18, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

I was unable to find a discussion of this anywhere, but it appears that TagDater is only being run on pages in the article namespace. Unfortunately, this leads to templates, categories, etc getting stuck undated (eg the root Category:Uncategorized pages category is almost all templates).

I noticed that there are two very old entries at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Computing from November and December 2022 (diffs when added: [1] and [2]). My guess as to why they've been skipped is it appears they were transcluded on the Computing page with a space after the namespace and before the page name:
{{Wikipedia: Articles for deletion/OnePlus 11}}
{{Wikipedia: Articles for deletion/Apple M2}}
It looks like it may be because the regex that decides to skip lines in User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/DeletionSortingCleaner.pm (assuming that's the current source) doesn't account for that? No idea if it's worth fixing but am curious:
return undef unless $name=~m!^(?i:Wikipedia|WP):(?:Articles|Miscellany) for deletion/(.+)$!;
My perl is a bit rusty but I'd think that
return undef unless $name=~m!^(?i:Wikipedia|WP) *: *(?:Articles|Miscellany) for deletion/(.+)$!;
would better match MediaWiki's template transclusion logic and, hopefully, wouldn't induce any false positives. Thanks! Skynxnex ( talk) 22:09, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Dolly Parton singles discography.
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at
User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at

I published anyway (since I thought I could redo manually the other’s edit after) but… everything gone. My whole edit, all lost. I appreciate the bot to fix citations, but this situation is frustrating. The point of user name/draft page is to perfect a page as much as possible before publishing for others to see and edit, but now I lost lots of edit because of an outside unexpected edit. Again, I don’t blame the bot, just asking if there’s a way to prevent bot from editing a user name/draft page. — Daeva Trạc ( talk) 04:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

In this edit, in addition to the useful work (correcting the template name), the bot for no reason also removed all the spaces between the template parameters, which has turned "editor-friendly wikitext" into " editor-hostile wikitext".

Hi all, does anyone know why the bot hasn't started archiving from here please? I've edited the code so it mirrors Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Botswana, which does archive, but the closed discussions are still lingering.

Thank you for your work. It would be helpful if the bot could fix this syntax <ref https://www.swr.de/sport/mehr-sport/leichtathletik/swr-sporthelden-2023-kugelstossen-yemisi-ogunleye-100.html />
as in
Special:Diff/1211521503 instead of removing it altogether. Because the original edit was P&G-compliant if not technically correct, but then the bot removed the URL which in effect introduced unsourced statements to a BLP. An easy fix would be to convert it to a bare-url reference that can be filled later. Thanks, --

I've been thinking of MZ's comment that subpages made sense in 2010, but not 2022. What if AnomieBOT created JSON pages, with one per month or even year, and have the TFA titles keyed by YYYY-MM-DD date or similar. I think that would avoid any concerns about "complicated parsing" in the Lua side since JSON is pretty safe and fast, and still be easily machine readable for TFA Protector Bot and other tools. And hopefully the reduction in pages would annoy less people (and you can't categorize JSON pages...). Legoktm ( talk) 07:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

These Signpost redirects have no incoming links, and result in various scripts/analytics not working correctly; can they be added to a whitelist (or a "stay-red list", as it were) for the auto-create task? jp× g 22:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

allpages
endpoint; while I could filter redirects from that, it seems much simpler to simply avoid them altogether. They don't seem necessary to me: as far as I can tell, nobody ever types in the titles of Signpost articles directly. Indeed, pageviews for these redirects are extremely low (i.e.
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-08-01/Election guide/Candidate Op-Ed - Mike Peel had 12 pageviews the week of publication, probably because it was linked to by accident in a draft version of an article. Furthermore, there aren't many redirects in Signpost article space; to be more precise, there are none, since I cleaned them up yesterday (there were about 150 of them, created incidentally by renamings and typos over the course of 20 years of publication). I am personally averse to the idea of all scripts having to include weird edge-case carveouts for 11 of of 8,000-some pages, although I admit this is my preference rather than an objective fact. Of course, I imagine that you would also prefer to run your bot without weird edge-case carveouts for Signpost pages. At any rate, I have retitled these 11 articles in question to use commas instead of en-dashes to alleviate the issue for now, but would still prefer an exemption for Signpost articles in general.

In the Anuradha Koirala article, an anonymous user made an edit that injected a bunch of prose into the name of an existing reference. AnomieBOT came along and copied that text into another invocation of the same reference name.
Are AnomieBOT's edits monitored? It seems like they should be, becuase it often makes referencing errors worse. Any human editor would've propertly fixed it, but since the bot quickly buried the issue, the problem was hidden for months. -- Mikeblas ( talk) 18:18, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that there are two very old entries at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Computing from November and December 2022 (diffs when added: [1] and [2]). My guess as to why they've been skipped is it appears they were transcluded on the Computing page with a space after the namespace and before the page name:
{{Wikipedia: Articles for deletion/OnePlus 11}}
{{Wikipedia: Articles for deletion/Apple M2}}
It looks like it may be because the regex that decides to skip lines in User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/DeletionSortingCleaner.pm (assuming that's the current source) doesn't account for that? No idea if it's worth fixing but am curious:
return undef unless $name=~m!^(?i:Wikipedia|WP):(?:Articles|Miscellany) for deletion/(.+)$!;
My perl is a bit rusty but I'd think that
return undef unless $name=~m!^(?i:Wikipedia|WP) *: *(?:Articles|Miscellany) for deletion/(.+)$!;
would better match MediaWiki's template transclusion logic and, hopefully, wouldn't induce any false positives. Thanks! Skynxnex ( talk) 22:09, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Dolly Parton singles discography.
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at
User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at

Hi, can you please remove the block from Cigarette and Princess Peach articles, please? I don't see any use or reason to keep them locked. 151.18.227.150 ( talk) 10:33, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi Dear @ AnomieBOT, I am writing to you so that you can please monitor the page of the Colombian beauty queen Luz Adriana López, which is constantly being vandalized by the user @ Sciencefish. You can review from the first edition how many reliable sources this user has deleted, he also puts meaningless codes, such as height, eye color, hair color and information that are in the few links that are still alive and others that he deleted, He also eliminated information about predecessors and successors in the pageantry journey such as Miss Universe Colombia and Miss Earth Colombia.
This user @ Sciencefish has also been seen vandalizing other biographies of beauty queens from different nations, including candidates for Miss Earth, Miss World and Miss Universe, please try to block this user or put security on the page. I would greatly appreciate an analysis and prompt solution to this problem. Thanks U!!. 200.118.145.115 ( talk) 04:31, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Hey, I saw you added this template. To which part do you refer? Is it regarding Jewish immigration to the United States? Homerethegreat ( talk) 09:56, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi Anomie, your bot is filling up Category:Pages using WikiProject banner shell with duplicate banner templates when it substitutes templates. For example this edit introduced three separate WikiProject Africa templates. It would be nicer to do this, but I know that may be rather difficult to code! Any suggestions? — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 13:12, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
I've made an edit as requested at Talk:Bromine#add_to_History, but I haven't changed the "answered=" field from "No" to "Yes" because I can't find it. This is odd, I've always managed it in the past. Maproom ( talk) 18:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
|answered=
parameter - if it's absent, you merely need to add either |answered=yes
or the shorter form |ans=yes
. In both cases, the yes
may itself be shortened to y
. Anyway, will you be joining us

<ref name=""/>
, but likely not the other error. That task is currently only approved to run in mainspace though, not drafts.

⚔ 12:34, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Hello,
I was wondering if it would be possible to have a version of the random page script that would update daily, unless a button is pressed, causing it to change pages immediately for the rest of the cycle.
Thanks

I was editing a draft and when I clicked publish, it said there was another and my publish would be disruptive. I published anyway (since I thought I could redo manually the other’s edit after) but… everything gone. My whole edit, all lost. I appreciate the bot to fix citations, but this situation is frustrating. The point of user name/draft page is to perfect a page as much as possible before publishing for others to see and edit, but now I lost lots of edit because of an outside unexpected edit. Again, I don’t blame the bot, just asking if there’s a way to prevent bot from editing a user name/draft page. — Daeva Trạc ( talk) 04:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
@ AnomieBOT I'm writing a draft and I have a problem with citing a source here. Could you help me fix it again? Thanks! ⚒️ ★MinecraftPlayer★321⚒️ Let's Chat! 22:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
In this edit, in addition to the useful work (correcting the template name), the bot for no reason also removed all the spaces between the template parameters, which has turned "editor-friendly wikitext" into " editor-hostile wikitext". Please adjust the bot behavior to avoid removing such spaces. — Mikhail Ryazanov ( talk) 19:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi all, does anyone know why the bot hasn't started archiving from here please? I've edited the code so it mirrors Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Botswana, which does archive, but the closed discussions are still lingering. Can anyone see something that I can't that's causing it not to happen? Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Anomie,
AnomieBOT III should have updated the broken redirect pages but it hasn't in 9 hours. Could you "restart" it? Many thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 18:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your work. It would be helpful if the bot could fix this syntax <ref https://www.swr.de/sport/mehr-sport/leichtathletik/swr-sporthelden-2023-kugelstossen-yemisi-ogunleye-100.html />
as in
Special:Diff/1211521503 instead of removing it altogether. Because the original edit was P&G-compliant if not technically correct, but then the bot removed the URL which in effect introduced unsourced statements to a BLP. An easy fix would be to convert it to a bare-url reference that can be filled later. Thanks, --
