I noticed AvicBot is fixing double redirects, and in looking up whether I was boneheaded or not (I am) I noticed it's not on this list of bots that fix double redirects - you may wish to fill out its entry at your convenience. -- stillnotelf is invisible 18:40, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

(Bosanski) Želim da vas obavijestim da je se na bs.wiki donijela odluka da se uklone bot zastavice kod neaktivnih i/ili interwiki botova. Vaš bot spada u najmanje jednu od ove dvije kategorije. Ova odluka je donešena zbog zbivanja oko Wikidata koje je dovelo do toga da su interwiki botovi postali nepotrebni. Ako želite da zadržite vašu bot zastavicu onda možete podnijeti taj zahtjev ovdje sa dodatnim informacijama o poslovima koje bi bot obavljao i na koji nacin. Imajte na umu da ovo treba da bude konkretan i koristan posao za zajednicu da bi se zastavica zadržala. Ako imate bilo kakvih pitanja kontaktirajte me na mojoj stranici za razgovor. Ukoliko ne reagujete na ovu poruku će se uklanjanje zastavice izvršiti nakon nekoliko sedmica. Međutim, uvijek ste dobrodošli da podnesete novi zahtjev za bot zastavicu.
(English) I want to inform you that on bs.wiki there has been a voting that resulted in accepting the removal of bot flags for inactive and/or interwiki bots. Your bot has been identified to meet at least one of these criteria. This decision has been made due to the new developments with Wikidata by which all interwiki bots have become unnecessary. If you want to keep your bot flag, then please report that here by indicating what new task your bot will be performing and how this will be done. Note however that this has to be a concrete and useful task for the community before it will be accepted. If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. In case of no response, the removal of the bot flag will be performed within a few weeks from now. However, after that period you are always welcome to file a new request for a bot flag.

This is a feature request, not a bug report; I've not spotted any misbehavior. The "How to use sandbox" section of Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions has a question regarding a userspace sandbox: a page was created in userspace, moved to AFC space, moved to mainspace, and AvicBot correctly fixed the double redirect. Is there any way to tell the bot not to fix double redirects from userspace to mainspace, since confusion can arise for new users? Nyttend ( talk) 04:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Hello Avicennasis. It has now been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled Chocolate Cake Band.
If you no longer want this submission, it will shortly be deleted. However, if you wish to keep it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chocolate Cake Band}}
, paste it in the edit box at
this link, click "Save", and an administrator will place the undeleted submission in your user space.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Northamerica1000 (talk) 06:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
The bot has twice reversed my redirect (for the talk page but not the article). There is no double redirect, something seems to have gone wrong with the bot. In the mean time I have blanked the page - the Talk page is empty anyway. Thanks.-- Mhockey ( talk) 14:51, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Please see this contribution page: [1]. This was used to attack a politician at 2013-06-15T17:56:13. The edit was reverted at 2013-06-15T18:53:57. But by 2013-06-15T18:44:19, AvicBot was spreading the BLP violation.
It is my technical understanding, perhaps flawed, that double redirects are entirely ok. So would it be possible to not "fix" a double redirect until at least 24 hours has elapsed? Thank you, Unscintillating ( talk) 21:23, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Hello; I'm not sure if AvicBot2 can still do category merges to multiple targets, but here there are bunch that could be done by a bot. (There are also some listed that have to be done manually, not by bot.) Thanks. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:14, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Avicennasis. It has now been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled Chocolate Cake Band.
If you no longer want this submission, it will shortly be deleted. However, if you wish to keep it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chocolate Cake Band}}
, paste it in the edit box at
this link, click "Save", and an administrator will place the undeleted submission in your user space.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Northamerica1000 (talk) 06:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
The bot has twice reversed my redirect (for the talk page but not the article). There is no double redirect, something seems to have gone wrong with the bot. In the mean time I have blanked the page - the Talk page is empty anyway. Thanks.-- Mhockey ( talk) 14:51, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Please see this contribution page: [1]. This was used to attack a politician at 2013-06-15T17:56:13. The edit was reverted at 2013-06-15T18:53:57. But by 2013-06-15T18:44:19, AvicBot was spreading the BLP violation.
It is my technical understanding, perhaps flawed, that double redirects are entirely ok. So would it be possible to not "fix" a double redirect until at least 24 hours has elapsed? Thank you, Unscintillating ( talk) 21:23, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

This of AvicBot has replaced a perfectly correct redirect to an article by a buggy redirect to a dab page, asserting that the old redirect was a double redirect, which was wrong. D.Lazard ( talk) 17:10, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
