Help! I can't find the featured article link in Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 12, 2024 in order to populate Template:TFA title/May 12, 2024. Please correct the link or create the template manually. When you have fixed this issue, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. I will repost the notice if the page is still broken or is re-broken. Thanks! AnomieBOT II ⚡ 00:01, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Would it be possible to get some information on exactly how this works? In particular, I'd like to understand why it didn't activate for this edit. Further details here. Sunrise ( talk) 01:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey Anomie! Per a rough consensus at this discussion, it seems there's some need for additional automated archiving of peer review pages. Since AnomieBOT already performs a very similar task, would you be willing to expand the PeerReviewArchiver function to close reviews that have gone unanswered for over three months? Let me know if you have any questions! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 01:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi Anomie, I hope you're doing well. I noticed on a Russian village article that AnomieBOT had added a date parameter for the {{ Infobox Russian inhabited locality}} infobox back in July 2020, when date parameters are invalid – see Roza, Chelyabinsk Oblast's history for an example. You might already be aware of this, but I thought I'd let you know to avoid the same issue happening in the future. I've rollbacked the ones that were still rollbackable, I don't know if you want to try and reverse it for the ones remaining that aren't. Thanks! -- Ferien ( talk) 17:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

(Moved from your talk page since this seems the page for it.)
Can you set the bot to not subst templates in their own namespace. If a template is ever undeleted, the docs, testcases etc will be broken.
Many thanks. All the best:

Hello, Anomie,
Just thought I'd drop a note that AnomieBOT III is off its usual 6:02 report issuing schedule which it generally maintains like clockwork. It's a little unpredictable and wacky right now, but there are also problems running queries with Quarry and Community Tech bot has been off=kilter with issuing its Wikipedia:Database reports/Orphaned talk pages, too so I guess there could be database problems. But I thought I'd let you know. Typically, I use Quarry as a backup for AnomieBOT III to find broken redirect but that's been unavailable for days now. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 22:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
I just want you to know that I created a separate page for the 2006–07 Talk 'N Text Phone Pals season. Hoping what you did (and I already undo) is reported as False Positive [{User:AnomieBOT/Warnings/FPReport|4332600}]. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YssaLang ( talk • contribs) 10:45, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

16:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)So, Cewbot posted this notice of a broken anchor on the talk page several months ago. I noticed it today and after some fumbling around, I was pretty sure I'd removed what was broken, which was fine because there was another ref for the same sentence. However, AnomieBOT "rescued" it with the next edit [1]. I'm starting to feel like either I may have completely misunderstood the situaion, or one or the other of the bots has it wrong... Pinging @ Kanashimi: as maintainer of the other bot. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 18:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
<ref name="Benson p. 78">
that defined the reference with the bad link, but you left an instance of <ref name="Benson p. 78" />
behind which results in a
big red error in the references section. AnomieBOT fixed that by copying the ref body into the <ref name="Benson p. 78" />
you had left behind. If you remove all the instances of the ref from the article, you should be good.

Hello and good day. The most recent change I made today (was 15 minutes ago) for SFO was reverted back by you, I was able to get it to the present stats page which is up to date yet Reference #1 stated "2016 cited but not invoked" I dont understand why that appeared there when I deleted that info in the edit window concerning the source. What is there now only goes up to December 2022. Maybe you can change it again so it does go to the most recent data (May 2024 I believe). Im sure this can be fixed. Have a good day.
