Hello. Other Wikies make no problems, what am I to do to rename at en: Wikipedia ( [1])? pjahr ( talk) 14:31, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
This is with regards to the notices that the bot posts notifying the nominator that a review has been started. Having such a notice is a GREAT idea, and thanks for the efforts of whoever is handling. But the signature that the bot is placing on those posts is that of the reviewer. (and IMHO the "on behalf of" notice earlier in the post does not make this OK) I hate to get tough on this, but it is saying things that I would not have said and putting my signature on the post....this is a violation of policy. But it needs to be signed by the bot that posted it, not signed by somebody who didn't post it.
Having such a notice is a GREAT idea, and thanks for the efforts of whoever is handling.

Are you still running the Legobot 28 task to remove interwikis and if necessary add Wikidata links? There are some recent occasional cases of adding obsolete interwiki links to articles [2] [3] Dl2000 ( talk) 15:33, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Is it possible to make Legobot "smart" enough to place all the notices in the same section of a talk page for a single article. Rather than creating three separate sections for review, hold and pass/fail that are all entitled Your GA nomination of Article X.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:32, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

I just saw Legobot select the creator of an RFC for a random "Please comment on". Maybe it could ignore the creator for such a post or look at the RFC and exclude users that have already commented. Morphh (talk) 14:11, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Would it be possible to have Legobot remove the RFC template based no activity within 30 days of the final timestamp in the section rather than the first? The benefits would be:
1. It would prevent accidental deletion of the RFC template while a discussion is ongoing
2. It would preserve the accuracy of the timeline of the discussion since currently the run-around to this is to retroactively edit the first timestamp to a later, although inaccurate, date. Holdek ( talk) 22:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey I recently changed my username from Doson to Bluemooneditor but with the bad part is Doson still redirects to Bluemooneditor leaving all the history intact.

I do not understand this removal:
Please explain why this happened.
I am making a wild guess that the bot won't recognize an RFC contained in a level 3 heading (with three equal signs on either side of heading title) so have edited the section accordingly. Please confirm if this is true, and if it is true, edit the instructions in Wikipedia:Requests for comment accordingly. Jc3s5h ( talk) 19:14, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
{{

I am concerned something happened following the bot's normal work. On the above named article, I have it in my watch list, along with the AFD discussion page. When the decision changed the related articles, I saw all that activity in my watchlist. I happened to be watching during that one hour. After the bot did its work, all of that disappeared. I suspect the bot wiped out the watchlist. I caught it this time but this could be important. I needed to follow up on the change. Had I not known the change had occurred, I would have missed it. The bot activity should not affect my watchlist or the subsequent visibility of that activity. Please check. Trackinfo ( talk) 16:51, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

I recently reviewed the article Robbing the Cradle's Good Article Nomination. When I began the review, the article (which is very new) was titled Robbing the Cradle (video game level). After a discussion, I moved the article page (and by default the talk page) to the new name. I noted that the old review page hadn't automatically moved so I also moved it to Talk:Robbing the Cradle/GA1 from Talk:Robbing the Cradle (video game level)/GA1. Legobot delivered a fail message to its nominator, JimmyBlackwing. I hope I didn't inadvertently mess up things like GA article counts and the like. Apologies if I did.

Legobot reverted [8] my update of a link to a moved RFC at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content#rfc_D64579D. The old location originally had a link to the new location but that post had been archived so users couldn't find the new location. I have restored the link at the old page and attempted to avoid archiving of it. [9] Where should the link to the RFC location be fixed to avoid Legobot interfering?

Hi, great to see this bot now looking after FAC closures in place of GimmeBot, VoxelBot, manual intervention, etc. However there seems to be an issue with the closure time. To take Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cutthroat trout/archive1, for instance, it says the article was promoted on 30 April, using this diff for the timestamp. The problem is that the diff is for a different FAC (the most recently promoted, if that helps) so the recorded promotion date and the actual promotion date are 12 days apart. Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 23:38, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

{{

was placed, but by the first timestamp that follows it; in this case it was 23:23, 20 April 2014 (UTC), which is more than 30 days ago, so the RFC was considered to be expired. To prevent early expiry, you can sign the {{
rfc}}

five tildes when you first add it to the page, like this: {{rfc|bio}} RfC started ~~~~~

Legobot, thanks to you and many other bots that keep this place functioning (plus the editors!).
I was wondering if you'd be able to change the GA notification so that a link is provided to the review in the notification you give
I also can't actually find the fact that you do GA notifications on your task list, so that may need to be added as it does appear to be a function

this edit was an attempt to correct two errors by Legobot. But it reverted me. My edit summary is:
I had noticed that a page the extracted text came from now had a section marker (=== Support === ) or something like that, and figured that Legobot would surely not copy past a section marker, but it does. It looks like it copies 'till it sees something that looks like a signature. I suggest it be enhanced to copy only 'till it sees something that looks like a signature or a section break. I'm lost; which task is performing these edits to WP:RFC anyway? I read through the 28 task descriptions and none seemed to match! Can't find it in github either; tried a few searches!!

This edit had Legobot add a nomination of mine to
WP:GAN (one that I messed up, as can be seen in previous edits). However, it neglected to mentioned that I've reviewed four articles for GA status (see
this page for the four). I'm safely assuming this is due to my recent name change (as I was Corvoe in every closing, including one that I closed the day of the change) but I'm not sure.

Hi, You transcluded Talk:John Bauer (illustrator)/GA1 to Talk:John Bauer (illustrator) for the GA nomination - Thanks!
Since then, I updated the format of the GA1 subpage to use the Template:GATable which I like much more than the list, but the table is not showing up on the Talk:John Bauer (illustrator) page. It does appear as expected, though, on the GA1 subpage. Did I do something wrong?

Hey Legoktm, I'm curious about what the status of the One bot ( task list ( 1) · logs ( actions · block · flag) · botop ( e · t · c) · contribs · user rights) is... According to the user page attached:
Bot Task | Status | Description | Activity |
---|---|---|---|
Task 31 | ![]() |
One bot (see box below) | -Inactive |
Showing me that the status is unknown, the RfA doesn't exist, and it is inactive, but the page history of Wikipedia:Dashboard/Relisted AfD debates shows it is running up to once an hour updating that page. The reason I wanted to know what the status was, is because I've modified the {{ Relist}} template to accept a 3rd unnamed parameter that will allow for the number of relists to be input and if there are 3 or more relists, it adds the discussion to Category:AfD debates relisted 3 or more times. The update to the AfDcloser script that I've requested be made at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/CloseAFD.js will automatically populate and make use of that parameter and when the discussion is closed it is designed to remove those tracking categories from the discussion. I understand that the Category:Relisted AfD debates from close discussions is one of the tasks legobot took over from One Bot, and thought you might like to update the bot for this additional new category. Also, though you might like the bot to add a new collapsed subsection to Wikipedia:Dashboard/Relisted AfD debates for "Multiple Relists" or "Tough Calls" or something like that. Anyways, happy editing! — {{U| Technical 13}} ( e • t • c) 17:10, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

This is with regards to the notices that the bot posts notifying the nominator that a review has been started. Having such a notice is a GREAT idea, and thanks for the efforts of whoever is handling. But the signature that the bot is placing on those posts is that of the reviewer. (and IMHO the "on behalf of" notice earlier in the post does not make this OK) I hate to get tough on this, but it is saying things that I would not have said and putting my signature on the post....this is a violation of policy. But it needs to be signed by the bot that posted it, not signed by somebody who didn't post it.

2. It would preserve the accuracy of the timeline of the discussion since currently the run-around to this is to retroactively edit the first timestamp to a later, although inaccurate, date. Holdek ( talk) 22:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey I recently changed my username from Doson to Bluemooneditor but with the bad part is Doson still redirects to Bluemooneditor leaving all the history intact.

Please explain why this happened.
I am making a wild guess that the bot won't recognize an RFC contained in a level 3 heading (with three equal signs on either side of heading title) so have edited the section accordingly. Please confirm if this is true, and if it is true, edit the instructions in Wikipedia:Requests for comment accordingly. Jc3s5h ( talk) 19:14, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
{{

I am concerned something happened following the bot's normal work. On the above named article, I have it in my watch list, along with the AFD discussion page. When the decision changed the related articles, I saw all that activity in my watchlist. I happened to be watching during that one hour. After the bot did its work, all of that disappeared. I suspect the bot wiped out the watchlist. I caught it this time but this could be important. I needed to follow up on the change. Had I not known the change had occurred, I would have missed it. The bot activity should not affect my watchlist or the subsequent visibility of that activity. Please check. Trackinfo ( talk) 16:51, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

I recently reviewed the article Robbing the Cradle's Good Article Nomination. When I began the review, the article (which is very new) was titled Robbing the Cradle (video game level). After a discussion, I moved the article page (and by default the talk page) to the new name. I noted that the old review page hadn't automatically moved so I also moved it to Talk:Robbing the Cradle/GA1 from Talk:Robbing the Cradle (video game level)/GA1. Legobot delivered a fail message to its nominator, JimmyBlackwing. I hope I didn't inadvertently mess up things like GA article counts and the like. Apologies if I did.

Hi, great to see this bot now looking after FAC closures in place of GimmeBot, VoxelBot, manual intervention, etc. However there seems to be an issue with the closure time. To take Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cutthroat trout/archive1, for instance, it says the article was promoted on 30 April, using this diff for the timestamp. The problem is that the diff is for a different FAC (the most recently promoted, if that helps) so the recorded promotion date and the actual promotion date are 12 days apart.

this edit was an attempt to correct two errors by Legobot. But it reverted me. My edit summary is:
I had noticed that a page the extracted text came from now had a section marker (=== Support === ) or something like that, and figured that Legobot would surely not copy past a section marker, but it does. It looks like it copies 'till it sees something that looks like a signature. I suggest it be enhanced to copy only 'till it sees something that looks like a signature or a section break. I'm lost; which task is performing these edits to WP:RFC anyway? I read through the 28 task descriptions and none seemed to match! Can't find it in github either; tried a few searches!!

This edit had Legobot add a nomination of mine to
WP:GAN (one that I messed up, as can be seen in previous edits). However, it neglected to mentioned that I've reviewed four articles for GA status (see
this page for the four). I'm safely assuming this is due to my recent name change (as I was Corvoe in every closing, including one that I closed the day of the change) but I'm not sure.

Hey Legoktm, I'm curious about what the status of the One bot ( task list ( 1) · logs ( actions · block · flag) · botop ( e · t · c) · contribs · user rights) is... According to the user page attached:
Bot Task | Status | Description | Activity |
---|---|---|---|
Task 31 | ![]() |
One bot (see box below) | -Inactive |
Showing me that the status is unknown, the RfA doesn't exist, and it is inactive, but the page history of Wikipedia:Dashboard/Relisted AfD debates shows it is running up to once an hour updating that page. The reason I wanted to know what the status was, is because I've modified the {{ Relist}} template to accept a 3rd unnamed parameter that will allow for the number of relists to be input and if there are 3 or more relists, it adds the discussion to Category:AfD debates relisted 3 or more times. The update to the AfDcloser script that I've requested be made at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/CloseAFD.js will automatically populate and make use of that parameter and when the discussion is closed it is designed to remove those tracking categories from the discussion. I understand that the Category:Relisted AfD debates from close discussions is one of the tasks legobot took over from One Bot, and thought you might like to update the bot for this additional new category. Also, though you might like the bot to add a new collapsed subsection to Wikipedia:Dashboard/Relisted AfD debates for "Multiple Relists" or "Tough Calls" or something like that. Anyways, happy editing! — {{U| Technical 13}} ( e • t • c) 17:10, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
