Looking at the links added by InternetArchiveBot in this edit, I can't think of a good reason for it – I reverted it, for the reasons I gave in my edit summary. Any thoughts? Nortonius ( talk) 12:57, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
|url=

to a free-to-read source unless marked otherwise. This bot does not mark these urls as restricted – registration is required, readers must login in order to checkout the book. So, if the bot is to continue to add these urls, it must also identify these restricted links by adding |url-access=registration

Earlier this year popular dark web news and links site DeepDotWeb was seized for money laundering. It won't be back. I cited https://deepdotweb.com/ in various places on Wikipedia and would prefer not to have to fix them all by hand. An example fix:
The bot should pick the latest snapshot prior to May 7th 2019 which is when the site was seized.

All the links I've checked for tropicalglen.com, a site used as a source on ~324 music articles (often more than one link per page), lead to 404s, e.g. the three refs to 'Cash Box' here. I fixed a few myself, remembered IABot, and tried to use it. No joy: the bot doesn't recognise that the pages at those URLs aren't as they should be. Is there a way one might tell it to produce archive links for every ref to tropicalglen.com? Thanks. BlackcurrantTea ( talk) 10:55, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I have a question about how the {{ bots}} template is handled by IABot. It does not seem to parse the following line in ko:백괴사전.
{{bots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
The intention was to prevent the bot from editing the article because many URL links on the page seem to be temporarily down and therefore should not be changed by the bot for the moment.
Also, please refer to
ko:특:diff/24777881, which is considered a bot's malfunction, resulting in {{깨진{{깨진 링크
which is the equivalent of {{dead{{dead link
. I hope the bug gets fixed soon. (I am having some trouble accessing the bot interface page now, so leaving a bug report here instead)

You may wish to remove the first instance or move the second instance up on top of the article. Also bear in mind a temporary outage doesn't usually affect the bot. If the bot sees a URL dead, then it will consider it dead forever. As for the actual bug, it's caused by a nested template inside an external link, which is very poor form and used almost never (this is the first time). So this is a low priority issue.—

Hi! I've reported a dead link false positive at IABot interface. I'm not asking to have this manually handled, but I got curious so answer if you think it's relevant. :) This url was marked dead (at svWp) but seems to be working (as long as you keep the trailing slash/). When I reported it as "false" I got the impression that the check again said "404" which I found interesting. I saw in the FAQ that the bot could be blacklisted, but that would be a shame.
The main question I have is about https. Browsers promote http-links to https these days and some servers drop the http support. When I removed the dead link tag from the page, I also changed the URL to https. Is the bot also trying https for dead http links? I suppose it might be difficult for the bot to know if it would be the same content on the different URL, but from a maintenance perspective it would probably be a useful assumption.

edited
Book talk:Crag martins to remove italic markup (''...''
) for a genus name used in
Template:book report start, as explained in my edit summary,
{{book report start}} puts the second parameter in italics, so remove italic markup from genus name; fixing lint errors
Cyberbot I then edited this same article, reinserting the spurious italic markup that creates a lint error and un-italicizes the genus name. I have reverted this change. Would you please edit your bots so that this doesn't happen again? — Anomalocaris ( talk) 08:44, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
You removed the above comment without addressing the issue and you did it again. I have made the fix Five (5) times. Please stop inserting inappropriate italic markup. Please cooperate. — Anomalocaris ( talk) 09:14, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Update: I have learned from Jonesey95 that the rule both on and off Wikipedia is that genus and species embedded in an italic phrase get flipped out of italics. My solution was incorrect. Jonesey95 has come up with a solution that flips the genus and species out of Italics and also does not generate lint errors. Please use Jonesey95's solution. — Anomalocaris ( talk) 05:45, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
You again removed the above discussion without addressing the issue.
Your bot edited Book talk:Crag martins at 04:15, 8 June 2019, changing valid markup
{{book report start|Crag martins|The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''}}
to invalid markup
{{book report start|Crag martins|<small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small>}}
which Special:ExpandTemplates shows expanding to something that includes
<big>Crag martins<br/>''<span class="nowrap"> </span><small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small><span class="nowrap"> </span>''</big>
which has misnesting
''<small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small>...''
I was wrong originally and Jonesey95 was correct. The italic markup around the genus is fine, but <small>...</small>
doesn't work here. —

Jonesey95: At 04:21, 6 September 2019, Cyberbot I edited this article again, even though you inserted
{{bots|deny=Cyberbot I}}
and the edit caused misnested tags again! — Anomalocaris ( talk) 02:56, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
{{bots|deny=Cyberbot I}}
, or as it does now (thanks to
Jonesey95), {{nobots}}
, your bot should not edit it at all. And in answer to your question, yes, the <small>...</small>
doesn't work here, because, as I said before, it expands to the misnested
''<small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small>...''
I tried using the false positive tool linked from User talk:InternetArchiveBot, but it doesn't seem to be working properly.
I tried to submit http://wildstat.com/p/2601/club/FRA_AS_Cannes and got a non-working "Submit" button, a working "GO BACK" button, and the following:
Report false positives Please review the following URLs and confirm that they are really not dead. These URLs were not found in the DB and will be ignored: http://wildstat.com/p/2601/club/FRA_AS_Cannes
As I was not able to submit the url, I gave up. The bot is now disabled on en-wiki. Starting point for this was at this edit by the Bot at Zinedine Zidane.
The talk page there is protected, so couldn't report this in what seemed like the logical place. That same page links your User page for further action. Mathglot ( talk) 00:26, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
I came across an edit from 2017 that isn't right...In this
at
Utah War, the bots changed a dead link of:
<ref>http://www.historycooperative.org/cgi-bin/justtop.cgi?act=justtop&url=http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whq/38.4/b {{Dead link|date=July 2010}}</ref>
to this:
<ref>http://www.historycooperative.org/cgi-bin/justtop.cgi?act=justtop&url=http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whq/38.4/b {{webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20120802094817/http://www.historycooperative.org/cgi-bin/justtop.cgi?act=justtop&url=http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whq/38.4/b |date=2 August 2012 }}</ref>
Now, yeah, the original ref was kind of mangled but it was marked as dead in July 2010 & the Bot gave out a new link dated August 2012...
I have just spent sometime trying to figure out what article this link is trying to get at so I could actually webarchive-link to the article but have given up, the link isn't actually needed since there are 2 other refs at the same place. The historycooperative.org links are all kind of a mess these days in general since an outside concern came along (ca.2009 I think) usurping the original URL and so I have been working my way through them and trying to web-archive link to the original site run by actual universities & JSTOR etc.

This is completely unacceptable. Doubtless some hope the whole subject of Eric Corbett will now magically disappear; however, as he was one of the project’s major contributors his departure won’t quietly fade into the sunset and oblivion. Admins and Arbs had better get used to the reverberations of their actions, because I suspect they will be echoing for some considerable time, and censorship of views will only increase the decibel level.

Hello!
How can I translate the "raport a bug" part that appears at the IABot signature on talk pages' notifications? Also, the last line in those discussions says When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs. Does the template refer to the "raport a bug" part? Because nothing else appears below those words except for the bot's signature. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 16:25, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. When archiving requests at RFPP, Cyberbot I did this. Could you investigate why? Regards So Why 12:17, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello! :) Sorry for disturbing again but the signature of the bot still has problems with its translation regarding the "report a bug" part. Moreover the name links to the English page. I think it's better if it links to the Albanian user page for the bot which is almost the ad verbatim translation of the English one.
Translation of Report a bug: Raportoni probleme Link of the Albanian user page: InternetArchiveBot
I had to write again because the original thread got archived. Take your time for the changes but please don't archive the thread until the changes are made so you can notify me somewhere about them. Thank you in advance! :) - Klein Muçi ( talk) 23:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

IA bot is marking links as "alive" instead of "live" [3] this is getting highlighted as an error in red-- DBig Xrayᗙ 11:21, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
I'm surprised the user page is permanently protected. Anyway, I think it would be useful to add a link to the most recent task pages, in particular Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/InternetArchiveBot 3. Nemo 06:30, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Book talk:Crag martins to remove italic markup (''...''
) for a genus name used in
Template:book report start, as explained in my edit summary,
{{book report start}} puts the second parameter in italics, so remove italic markup from genus name; fixing lint errors
Cyberbot I then edited this same article, reinserting the spurious italic markup that creates a lint error and un-italicizes the genus name. I have reverted this change. Would you please edit your bots so that this doesn't happen again? — Anomalocaris ( talk) 08:44, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
You removed the above comment without addressing the issue and you did it again. I have made the fix Five (5) times. Please stop inserting inappropriate italic markup. Please cooperate. — Anomalocaris ( talk) 09:14, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Update: I have learned from Jonesey95 that the rule both on and off Wikipedia is that genus and species embedded in an italic phrase get flipped out of italics. My solution was incorrect. Jonesey95 has come up with a solution that flips the genus and species out of Italics and also does not generate lint errors. Please use Jonesey95's solution. — Anomalocaris ( talk) 05:45, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
You again removed the above discussion without addressing the issue.
Your bot edited Book talk:Crag martins at 04:15, 8 June 2019, changing valid markup
{{book report start|Crag martins|The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''}}
to invalid markup
{{book report start|Crag martins|<small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small>}}
which Special:ExpandTemplates shows expanding to something that includes
<big>Crag martins<br/>''<span class="nowrap"> </span><small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small><span class="nowrap"> </span>''</big>
which has misnesting
''<small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small>...''
I was wrong originally and Jonesey95 was correct. The italic markup around the genus is fine, but <small>...</small>
doesn't work here. —

Jonesey95: At 04:21, 6 September 2019, Cyberbot I edited this article again, even though you inserted
{{bots|deny=Cyberbot I}}
and the edit caused misnested tags again! — Anomalocaris ( talk) 02:56, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
{{bots|deny=Cyberbot I}}
, or as it does now (thanks to
Jonesey95), {{nobots}}
, your bot should not edit it at all. And in answer to your question, yes, the <small>...</small>
doesn't work here, because, as I said before, it expands to the misnested
''<small>The genus ''Ptyonoprogne''</small>...''
I tried using the false positive tool linked from User talk:InternetArchiveBot, but it doesn't seem to be working properly.
I tried to submit http://wildstat.com/p/2601/club/FRA_AS_Cannes and got a non-working "Submit" button, a working "GO BACK" button, and the following:
Report false positives Please review the following URLs and confirm that they are really not dead. These URLs were not found in the DB and will be ignored: http://wildstat.com/p/2601/club/FRA_AS_Cannes
As I was not able to submit the url, I gave up. The bot is now disabled on en-wiki. Starting point for this was at this edit by the Bot at Zinedine Zidane.
The talk page there is protected, so couldn't report this in what seemed like the logical place. That same page links your User page for further action. Mathglot ( talk) 00:26, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
I came across an edit from 2017 that isn't right...In this
at
Utah War, the bots changed a dead link of:
<ref>http://www.historycooperative.org/cgi-bin/justtop.cgi?act=justtop&url=http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whq/38.4/b {{Dead link|date=July 2010}}</ref>
to this:
<ref>http://www.historycooperative.org/cgi-bin/justtop.cgi?act=justtop&url=http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whq/38.4/b {{webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20120802094817/http://www.historycooperative.org/cgi-bin/justtop.cgi?act=justtop&url=http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whq/38.4/b |date=2 August 2012 }}</ref>
Now, yeah, the original ref was kind of mangled but it was marked as dead in July 2010 & the Bot gave out a new link dated August 2012...
I have just spent sometime trying to figure out what article this link is trying to get at so I could actually webarchive-link to the article but have given up, the link isn't actually needed since there are 2 other refs at the same place. The historycooperative.org links are all kind of a mess these days in general since an outside concern came along (ca.2009 I think) usurping the original URL and so I have been working my way through them and trying to web-archive link to the original site run by actual universities & JSTOR etc.

This is completely unacceptable. Doubtless some hope the whole subject of Eric Corbett will now magically disappear; however, as he was one of the project’s major contributors his departure won’t quietly fade into the sunset and oblivion. Admins and Arbs had better get used to the reverberations of their actions, because I suspect they will be echoing for some considerable time, and censorship of views will only increase the decibel level.

Hello!
How can I translate the "raport a bug" part that appears at the IABot signature on talk pages' notifications? Also, the last line in those discussions says When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs. Does the template refer to the "raport a bug" part? Because nothing else appears below those words except for the bot's signature. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 16:25, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello fellow editors,\n\nI have just modified {linksrescued} external links on [[{namespacepage}]]. Please take a moment to review [{diff} my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[:m:InternetArchiveBot/FAQ|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:\n{modifiedlinks}\nPlease refer to the FaQ for information on correcting errors with the bot.\n\nCheers.

Hi there. When archiving requests at RFPP, Cyberbot I did this. Could you investigate why? Regards So Why 12:17, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello! :) Sorry for disturbing again but the signature of the bot still has problems with its translation regarding the "report a bug" part. Moreover the name links to the English page. I think it's better if it links to the Albanian user page for the bot which is almost the ad verbatim translation of the English one.
Translation of Report a bug: Raportoni probleme Link of the Albanian user page: InternetArchiveBot
I had to write again because the original thread got archived. Take your time for the changes but please don't archive the thread until the changes are made so you can notify me somewhere about them. Thank you in advance! :) - Klein Muçi ( talk) 23:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Please see User:Cyberbot I/Requests for unblock report. Ever since 26 September, Cyberbot I thinks every block expires on the Unix epoch. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 06:19, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
Your revert is mistaken and you should undo it. The instructions at the top of the page clearly say "we should aim to close this RfC as soon as 30 days have passed, i.e. on or after September 30, 2019." bolding on the 30th. 30 day for an RfC begun on Aug 31 is September 29, yesterday.

Does my schools ban broadly construed forbid me from editing articles on writers who also teach, where little is said about their educational institution in the article. I note that what brought on the ban was editing actual articles on high schools. May I edit Edward Schillebeeckx and Walter Kasper. Also, should seminary education be excluded from permissible areas for me, specifically Optatam Totius. These items seem to be far removed from the purpose of the ban.

I left a message for you several days ago, and received no answer and now cannot find the message. I need your informed judgment on my schools ban "broadly construed". Is this not the way to proceed? Thanks. Jzsj ( talk) 16:18, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
