In this recent edit, it looks like IABot lost the title and publisher of a citation, and added a meaningless "1=c" parameter. Thanks if you can take a look and debug. — Patrug ( talk) 09:14, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

In this edit on 5 July, Cyberbot II moved an Internet Archive URL from the {{ cite web}} "url" parameter to "archiveurl", but in doing so it replaced a valid IA URL already in "archiveurl" with a web.archive.org/web/* URL which causes the citation template to generate an error message and add a hidden category. It also removed a valid "archivedate", which generates another error message.

I pinged you with my thanks on my talk page but I did just come on this Talk:ABC Daytime/Archives/2016#External links modified. Can these edits that only add a "dead link" tag be adjusted so that they do not show up in the category as well? Thanks for your time. MarnetteD| Talk 17:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Most edits I find are okay, but this one was pretty bad. It seemed to take a URL that was in the "External links" section of the article and apply it to four of the five links it modified. Especially, note the link it modified in the infobox; this is already handled by the infobox code and shouldn't be touched. I hope these problems are fixable. — Gorthian ( talk) 00:42, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
In this edit [4] the only change the bot made was adding spaces between parameters, despite the edit summary of "Rescuing 1 sources and tagging 0 as dead. #IABot (v1.1)" - Evad37 [ talk 03:46, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
This bot is currently working its way through the Lexus articles. I like what it is attempting to do. Unfortunately it is inserting 'MMM dd, yyyy' style dates into articles that are already using 'yyyy-mm-dd' style dates in the references. 'yyyy-mm-dd' style dates are a legitimate format in references, therefore this bot is violating
MOS:DATERET and
MOS:DATEUNIFY. The bot needs to read the existing |date=
and |access-date=
fields for the reference and use that style. If the reference does not have a date field (sadly, this is still an all too common problem) then the both needs to use the date format from another reference.
Cyberbot II has a similar problem. I spent about 3 months doing almost nothing except cleaning up after it until it had worked its way through all the articles I cared about. That was a very frustrating 3 months that left me rather frazzled.
Once again, I support the task this bot is trying to do and am willing to help out to fix this problem. Stepho talk 08:49, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

|df=
is intended to make this sort of problem easier. The bot can write all dates in ymd format and then add an empty |df=
parameter. Editors then need only add a keyword to it (|df=dmy
or mdy
) which will cause
Module:Citation/CS1 to render all dates except access and archive dates in the specified format. If {{
use dmy dates}}
or {{
use mdy dates}}
is present, the bot can set |df=
to the appropriate value. To set all dates including access and archive dates to the same format, use |df=dmy-all
(or mdy-all
).

Hi CP678, apologies for another email - I noticed that you're getting a hell of a lot of reports about your bots. I see that a couple of phab tickets were opened on Community Tech regarding it, but was wondering if it'd be worth requesting a phab project be set up for some of your common bots and directing all reports there? People will still leave messages, but I imagine making phab the "official" method will cut down email traffic and allow you to categorise/prioritise? Just my 2c, thanks for all the hard work -- samtar talk or stalk 14:57, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
See this edit. There is still nothing wrong with this link. Please stop trying to fix what isn't broken. If the problem will be solved in 24-48 hours, please stop the bot until the problems are resolved. Alansohn ( talk) 17:08, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Can you please stop your bot from making edits like these [7] [8] ones? The only thing it is doing is duplicating the links to Wayback archives, as they are also included in a {{ Wayback}} template.-- Jetstreamer Talk 17:30, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Cyberpower678, last August Cyberbot II tagged Disumbrationism as containing a blacklisted link (http://reverent.org/bad_painting_contest.html), but I'm unable to find reverent.org on the local or global blacklists.

Hi, there appears to be some problem with this change made by BOT, could be something to do with embedded ref in {{ Official website}} template. Keith D ( talk) 20:46, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
Continues from these discussions: |dead-url=unfit and |dead-url=unfit maintenance category.
Unless the bot knows without a doubt that a url is unfit
, it should not make that assertion. I have added an alternate, bot-specific keyword to
Module:Citation/CS1/sandbox that, to the casual reader and editor, acts the same as |dead-url=unfit
. It differs in how the citation is categorized. The new keyword will become part of the live module suite over the weekend of 30–31 July.
The bot-specific keyword is bot: unknown
. Please use that instead of unfit
.

While you are working on getting the InternetArchiveBot spruced up, I wanted to give you some more input on its behavior that I don't think I've seen addressed here (though I may have missed it). Here are some specific problems pulled from my watchlist over the past few weeks:
"there are other tools to semi-automatically convert bare links to cite web + archive URL. However if the Wayback template is inserted by Cyberbot, those tools won't work and it must be done 100% manual. So it's actually creating more work for someone to later clean up."Maybe using the Wayback template isn't the best solution in citations. There must be another way to insert an archive link into a bare-link reference. — Gorthian ( talk) 18:00, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
{{

Hello. Just thought you might like to know that your bot created an empty page, trying to remove pp-pc1 from a page that was deleted 6 minutes earlier: Abel Tesfaye (the Weeknd). I've speedied the page and just thought I'd let you know. Cheers ~ | twsx | talk cont | ~ 19:40, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
