I think we might best approach someone experienced and ask them? Who might be a good person to do this? -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 12:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Some ideas.. what if there was a consensus discussion which is a founding charter which can be pointed to should anyone question the project. Then Dweller creates a userid ( User:Farotbot ?) for the project and it lists project members who are willing to participate (ie. handle any problems with links). Then I'll create a BRFA and designate the userid as the bot account, and create an account on tools (same userid) where the bot will run. This userid would be accessible to a technical (me) and administrative (Dweller) contact. The same userid would show up in edit summaries, and the userid homepage would explain what the bot does and FAQ etc.. I'll handle technical issues (eg. bot stops working, how often to run) and content issues (eg. links are soft 404, tagged dead but still live) by members listed. -- Green C 12:25, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello Cyberpower, hope you're doing well. I can understand why you reverted the closure of Robert's Rfa. Robert did mention on his talk page that he "will be drafting a concession speech, but it isn't the one anyone is advising, but it won't be hostile.". Perhaps you could consider not prolonging the Rfa drama by closing the said Rfa. I'll defer to your judgement. Warmly. Lourdes 06:48, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Is there any way to set a bunch of URLs as dead, other than setting them dead individually or setting as dead the entire domine? I'm dealing with the italian newspaper Il Tempo which clearly is not a dead domine, but has a great number of dead URLs (last year the website was renewed and almost all news stories from the past went offline). Sadly IABot doesen't detect these URLs as dead, even if they look like an empty page with a huge "PAGE NOT FOUND" title (see example). Is there a way to make the bot automatically detect such URLs as dead? Individually setting them as dead would take much time (there are about 800 of them on it.wiki, almost all inserted before 2016 and hence dead). -- Una giornata uggiosa '94 · So, what do you want to talk about? 16:28, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
Will you please explain this edit. The edit summary says ″(Redder 1 kilde(r) og merker 0 som død(e). ″ Which is supposed to mean that the bot saved one source and did not mark one as dead. Since the source it not mark as dead already was there saving the link was never necessary. The bot have inserted a live and kicking url for the second time. It is not the first edit like this I have observed from the bot. The bot seems to like to insert urls twice. --ツツ Dyveldi ☯ prat ✉ post 18:39, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello! I understnad that you are a maintainer of Xtools. I'm looking for the documentation for the Xtools timecard, which is part of the general user statistics.

What kind of nonsense is this? Fixing a url already fixed through the archive.org bypass a second time? If someone chooses to add a reference to an archived page, there's really no need to "warn" the reader that the original page is now a dead link. It also complicates the link, making it less readable to the human eye in the page source. Please leave links to archived pages unchanged if the link to the archived page works fine.

|deadurl
, you linked me to enwiki BTW. Please see the
documentation on ruwiki. The default value of the template when deadurl is not set is to set deadurl=yes
to link the archive on the page. IABot is not changing anything except to make the default value of the template visible. Secondly, it's ADDING deadurl=yes
to cite templates with archive URLs set, since deadurl=yes
is the default value in those cases. It's not changing deadurl=no

Continuing User_talk:Cyberpower678/Archive_51#InternetArchiveBot_on_Norwegian_WP. This page is filed so quickly it makes discussion difficult. A RfC on english WP is not relevant for Norwegian WP. I want to be able to cite an archived page whithout using the original url-dress. The original adresse is filed on the archived page and can be found there. When I cite a source I want to be able to cite the source I have actually used and in some cases it is not the live original url.

On enwiki, there is a parameter called 'deadurl' and while setting it to 'yes' links it to the archive and the original, setting it to 'no' only links to the original.(emphasis added) Not true:
{{cite web |dead-url=no |url=//example.com |archive-url=//example.org |archive-date=2017-09-13 |title=Example}}
{{
cite web}}
: Unknown parameter |dead-url=
ignored (|url-status=
suggested) (
help)|dead-url=
selects which of |url=
or |archive-url=
is applied to the rendering of |title=
.The discussion User:GreenC is pointing to Wikipedia talk:Using archive.is is about archive.is and not about using WebCitation. - this is factually incorrect as is demonstrated by reading the RfC where there is discussion about link shortening at WebCite and Archive.is which hides spam, malicious code and black listed links. Archive.is is a last resort when no better option is available, something is better than nothing. However I don't think archive.is is as shady or unreliable as is being made out, in my experience WebCite is more unreliable from a technical perspective. They all have issues. -- Green C 20:18, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

How am I supposed to be able to edit when editors game my restriction on something so simple as reverting a POV tag? I have reverted the removal but I'm pretty sure it won't last long. One look at the talk page shows three discussions about neutrality, the editor who reverted me has made one comment, claimed consensus and that's it? I have opened an RFC, but a POV tag is not meant to be removed until discussions are done, I could use some advice on such a situation thanks. Darkness Shines ( talk) 05:33, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Curious, what's the point of this bot edit? I mean, nothing's wrong; it's just pointless, unless I'm misunderstanding something. If you look a little back in the edit history, I moved the subsection in question from its original location in the section for unprotection requests. Nyttend ( talk) 12:32, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to pester you here but I am a little confused about an edit made by Internet Archive Bot on Elizabeth Ann Linley; I did check the FAQs first but couldn't find an answer. Kolbertbot changed the http to https here on 27 August and now IAB has just changed a couple of them back to http here. When I try them, both http and https work. Can you help, please?

I'm trying to update all of the broken links in Wikipedia for ias.ac.in. Is it possible to update all of the links on this domain using the IABot management interface? Jarble ( talk) 15:36, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm came from Japanese Wikipedia. And I'm going to tell about the problem of your bot on Japanese Wikipedia.
Your bot uses the parameter "deadurldate", but it is not exist. ( ja:Template:Cite web) The right one is "deadlinkdate". Could you fix it? (deadurldate => deadlinkdate)
Please see also this.
Thank you. (I'm sorry but my English is ankward.) 青羽雀 ( talk) 14:05, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Continuing User_talk:Cyberpower678/Archive_51#InternetArchiveBot_on_Norwegian_WP. This page is filed so quickly it makes discussion difficult. A RfC on english WP is not relevant for Norwegian WP. I want to be able to cite an archived page whithout using the original url-dress. The original adresse is filed on the archived page and can be found there. When I cite a source I want to be able to cite the source I have actually used and in some cases it is not the live original url. How to I stop the bot from changing my citation and inserting a page I have not cited. --ツツ Dyveldi ☯ prat ✉ post 10:43, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
A RfC on english WP is not relevant for Norwegian WP .. this is true, but have you read it? Are you aware of the security consequences of your decisions, and has it been discussed with the rest of the Norwegian community? -- Green C 13:55, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
On enwiki, there is a parameter called 'deadurl' and while setting it to 'yes' links it to the archive and the original, setting it to 'no' only links to the original.(emphasis added) Not true:
{{cite web |dead-url=no |url=//example.com |archive-url=//example.org |archive-date=2017-09-13 |title=Example}}
{{
cite web}}
: Unknown parameter |dead-url=
ignored (|url-status=
suggested) (
help)|dead-url=
selects which of |url=
or |archive-url=
is applied to the rendering of |title=
.The discussion User:GreenC is pointing to Wikipedia talk:Using archive.is is about archive.is and not about using WebCitation. - this is factually incorrect as is demonstrated by reading the RfC where there is discussion about link shortening at WebCite and Archive.is which hides spam, malicious code and black listed links. Archive.is is a last resort when no better option is available, something is better than nothing. However I don't think archive.is is as shady or unreliable as is being made out, in my experience WebCite is more unreliable from a technical perspective. They all have issues. -- Green C 20:18, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Your iabot keeps mangling a url on the book of common prayer page, /info/en/?search=Book_of_Common_Prayer . In the Oceania section it changes this:
http://anglicanprayerbook.nz A New Zealand Prayer Book, He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa to this: https://web.archive.org/web/20090622115607/http://pbsusa.org/PBLinks.htm A New Zealand Prayer Book, He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa
This web archive page is nothing to do with the New Zealand prayer book. Sorry about the 'Trout' but I have no idea how to fix or report this, hence this message, in a no doubt inappropriate forum... Sunblade1500 ( talk) 11:12, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

tags just in case so it won't happen again. It looks possibly caused by those extra {{ and }} though Cyberpower will need to determine. --

Well, thank you GreenC and Cyberpower678 for fixing this, I hope the fix sticks! And I don't have to make more noise in a few months time when a bot reviews the page again...! May the Peace of Christ be with you. Sunblade1500
Hi,
I've noticed IABot is stripping https back to http in certain cases with www.webcitation.org links... any idea why? As far as I can tell, those links work via https, so wouldn't that be the preferred URL format to list them in? — Joeyconnick ( talk) 17:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
Arrgh... sorry, forgot to give an example. — Joeyconnick ( talk) 17:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
How am I supposed to be able to edit when editors game my restriction on something so simple as reverting a POV tag? I have reverted the removal but I'm pretty sure it won't last long. One look at the talk page shows three discussions about neutrality, the editor who reverted me has made one comment, claimed consensus and that's it? I have opened an RFC, but a POV tag is not meant to be removed until discussions are done, I could use some advice on such a situation thanks. Darkness Shines ( talk) 05:33, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
I was right, already reverted Darkness Shines ( talk) 05:34, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
