An "interwiki transclusion bot"Hi Misza13, A number of editors have been working on ways to have portals take better care of themselves, rather than require lots of manual upkeep. One way to do this has been the random display of a selection of subpages. Another way has been to have a bot update a time-sensitive page, such as DinojermBot for Portal:Business and economics/Market Indices. Another, yet unborn bot could take news items from Wikinews and place them in the applicable portal sections (probably by way of a section subpage). DinojermBot's creator doesn't seem to be active here these days, so I'm asking for your help. The basic idea would be for a general purpose bot that could copy the contents of one sister project page to a page at a different sister project. A bot user like myself would be able to specify the applicable source page, destination page, and a few other parameters along the lines of the MiszaBots. I started some other discussions at Wikinews:Water cooler/technical#Transcluding DynamicPageList results to Wikipedia pages and Portal talk:Film#An "interwiki transclusion bot" with more details about a specific portal, but the issue really is about any portal that could benefit from Wikinews updates. If this proposed project isn't your cup of tea, could you direct me to another talk page where I could pitch the idea? Thanks for your time. RichardF ( talk) 01:53, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Archiving date problem?After your archive bot began on Talk:George W. Bush military service controversy I noticed some old sections had no signatures, thus no dates. I used subst:unsigned2 to sign entries in the sections. After several days, the bot doesn't seem to have archived the sections. Maybe there is something about the formatting of the dates which the bot is not recognizing, but I'm just guessing. P.S. The section "Signature" was signed, but with an unusual date format also. -- SEWilco ( talk) 16:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Help, please.I tried to set up auto-archiving with Misza3. See here. I'd like to have my archiving set up similarly to the way Jimbo has it set up: Partially based on date, but partially based on incremental size. That way, I can edit Wikipedia sporadically without having archives that are messy. Did I do it right? Usually, bots are quick and I haven't seen Misza3 appear just yet. ☯ Zenwhat ( talk) 21:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't delete redirects!Please don't delete "unnecessary" redirects, even orphaned talk pages. A redirect that was once made is likely to be useful again; redirects should be deleted only when they are actually harmful. See this policy. Since they're all Talk pages, it's probably not so important. (That's why I've decided against going through the list and restoring them.) But it's always possible that an external site linked to one of these old talk pages before it was moved, and Wikipedia has plenty of room (it's primarily bandwidth that Wikimedia needs money for), so they really should not be deleted. — Toby Bartels ( talk) 01:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I already talked to DerHexer about it, and all that he said was "I've not deleted unnecessary redirects for days. Misza13 is doing this at the moment.", so I checked it out and came over here. You're right that I would have a hard time deleting 30 or 40 thousand of these; that's why BOT policy requires preapproval. Your bot is apparently not checking the page's logs either, since it's not true that the only activity on these pages is a page move; some of them have been deleted and restored three times. Also, these pages are hardly clutter; they're well behaved redirects that no one will stumble upon from within Wikipedia (only from outside, which is why it's harmful to delete them). Furthermore, they won't stop page moves that reverse the previous move; more generally, they won't stop any page move that the non-discussion article allows. Finally, it's backwards to restrict your activity to old talk pages; it's new ones that are less likely to have received incoming links. (But it's really the length of history of the unmoved name that matters, not the length of time since the move.) — Toby Bartels ( talk) 21:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Deleted imageI was reading the article John Keston and noticed there was an image tag missing its first bracket. So the non-free image Holmesplaybill.jpg showed as unused in an article and you deleted it. I'm wondering if there's a way you could undelete it as can be done with articles?

Viewing and editing Wikipedia while running scriptsHi there. I'm asking you this as I think you (or your bot) run some scripts (image deletion scripts?) An issue at ANI involves whether an editor can view and/or edit Wikipedia while running a script. Could you advise on how easy it is for this sort of inability to arise, and how easy it is to get around? The idea is that editors should be able to respond to concerns and queries while running such scripts. This was an image deletion script running for 2 hours after a manual check. The thread is here. Any opinion on whether such "script-blindness" situations are common, and what the guidelines/workarounds should or could be, would be welcomed. Thanks.

Deleted ImageApparently, you recently deleted an image I uploaded: Image:Gunz0148gp2.JPG. That image was not an unused, unfree image, as its been in the article for Gunz: The Duel for over a year. What's more is that image was not tagged with an orphaned image tag (I believe I get a new message when that happens, but I did not), and recently (3 days ago) re-added the picture to Gunz article after someone deleted it off the article for no real reason. The time between that deletion and the re-add is six days, which is sooner than the seven-day cutoff period for the orphaned image restriction, which, as I said, was never added. If you could, please, restore the image? Thank you. -- Antoshi~! T | C 01:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

This makes it seem that discussions archived to newer page(s) before links to those pages are made have disappeared/been deleted.

Bot for auto-rating?Hey Misza13, I know this exists somewhere, just not sure where and you seem like a good person to ask.

I want something to auto-assess talkpages for {{ WikiProject Theatre}} - all the categories are empty since I just added the quality-assessment function - but I don't want to go rating 1,000 articles manually...

Archiving date problem?After your archive bot began on Talk:George W. Bush military service controversy I noticed some old sections had no signatures, thus no dates. I used subst:unsigned2 to sign entries in the sections. After several days, the bot doesn't seem to have archived the sections. Maybe there is something about the formatting of the dates which the bot is not recognizing, but I'm just guessing. P.S. The section "Signature" was signed, but with an unusual date format also. -- SEWilco ( talk) 16:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Help, please.I tried to set up auto-archiving with Misza3. See here. I'd like to have my archiving set up similarly to the way Jimbo has it set up: Partially based on date, but partially based on incremental size. That way, I can edit Wikipedia sporadically without having archives that are messy. Did I do it right? Usually, bots are quick and I haven't seen Misza3 appear just yet. ☯ Zenwhat ( talk) 21:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
news importer bot - don't remove categories etc from target portal page?Currently when the bot updates it's target page, it removes all current content and replaces it with the new information. Is there any way for it to leave any information already existing after the last
Don't delete redirects!Please don't delete "unnecessary" redirects, even orphaned talk pages. A redirect that was once made is likely to be useful again; redirects should be deleted only when they are actually harmful. See this policy. Since they're all Talk pages, it's probably not so important. (That's why I've decided against going through the list and restoring them.) But it's always possible that an external site linked to one of these old talk pages before it was moved, and Wikipedia has plenty of room (it's primarily bandwidth that Wikimedia needs money for), so they really should not be deleted. — Toby Bartels ( talk) 01:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I already talked to DerHexer about it, and all that he said was "I've not deleted unnecessary redirects for days. Misza13 is doing this at the moment.", so I checked it out and came over here. You're right that I would have a hard time deleting 30 or 40 thousand of these; that's why BOT policy requires preapproval. Your bot is apparently not checking the page's logs either, since it's not true that the only activity on these pages is a page move; some of them have been deleted and restored three times. Also, these pages are hardly clutter; they're well behaved redirects that no one will stumble upon from within Wikipedia (only from outside, which is why it's harmful to delete them). Furthermore, they won't stop page moves that reverse the previous move; more generally, they won't stop any page move that the non-discussion article allows. Finally, it's backwards to restrict your activity to old talk pages; it's new ones that are less likely to have received incoming links. (But it's really the length of history of the unmoved name that matters, not the length of time since the move.) — Toby Bartels ( talk) 21:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Reliable Sources/NoticeboardYour MiszaBot tag is embedded at the top of the [ Reliable sources/Noticeboard] but the board is already up to 573K and the archive max is set to 250K. Not sure if it's working or I'm just missing something. Thanks. Wjhonson ( talk) 03:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Deleted imageI was reading the article John Keston and noticed there was an image tag missing its first bracket. So the non-free image Holmesplaybill.jpg showed as unused in an article and you deleted it. I'm wondering if there's a way you could undelete it as can be done with articles? If you manage to do it, can you perhaps fix the tag on the article or send me a message so I can fix it? I just wouldn't want to to be delete again for the same reason! :p -- Dandin1 ( talk) 18:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikinews importer bot/Main article spaceYour bot is doing a good job but unfortunately the pages used by the article are placed in stories in development (main namespace). To stop this happening I would suggest you created an account and put them in the user namespace. If this is not possible you could put them in Portal:Country name/Wikipedia. -- Smallbig/Anonymous101 on Wikinews 18:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:PW nesletterNewsletter delivery. Thank you! The Chronic 00:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Bot requirementsHi, Misza! I was wondering what it would take to run a copy of MiszaBot for use on my own wiki. Is that possible to do? If so, what would I need? This isn't urgent, as my wiki's being set up rather slowly, but eventually I'd like to get an archiver and an indexer running. Your indexer module idea in the header has me excited; I wouldn't have to also get a copy of HBC Archive Indexerbot. :) Tuvok T @ lk/ Improve 12:28, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Viewing and editing Wikipedia while running scriptsHi there. I'm asking you this as I think you (or your bot) run some scripts (image deletion scripts?) An issue at ANI involves whether an editor can view and/or edit Wikipedia while running a script. Could you advise on how easy it is for this sort of inability to arise, and how easy it is to get around? The idea is that editors should be able to respond to concerns and queries while running such scripts. This was an image deletion script running for 2 hours after a manual check. The thread is here. Any opinion on whether such "script-blindness" situations are common, and what the guidelines/workarounds should or could be, would be welcomed. Thanks.

Deleted ImageApparently, you recently deleted an image I uploaded: Image:Gunz0148gp2.JPG. That image was not an unused, unfree image, as its been in the article for Gunz: The Duel for over a year. What's more is that image was not tagged with an orphaned image tag (I believe I get a new message when that happens, but I did not), and recently (3 days ago) re-added the picture to Gunz article after someone deleted it off the article for no real reason. The time between that deletion and the re-add is six days, which is sooner than the seven-day cutoff period for the orphaned image restriction, which, as I said, was never added. If you could, please, restore the image? Thank you. -- Antoshi~! T | C 01:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you deleted this image:Image:Pie pequeño.JPG, that is. It was deleted once before because it had no fair use rationale. It must have been restored and had a rationale added, but it got removed from the article it had occupied, and apparently no one bothered to return it. If you'll please restore the image, I'd like to return it to its article. Please and thank you! Wilhelmina Will ( talk) 05:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
super hawt dramaOk, that section header made me absolutely laugh out loud. Thanks for adding perspective. Keeper | 76 19:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC) Bot issue: no links to new archivesI'm not sure if this has been brought up before (sorry if it has), but when the archive bots create a new archive page after the previous one fills up, they do not make a link from the (current) talk page to the new page. This makes it seem that discussions archived to newer page(s) before links to those pages are made have disappeared/been deleted. Maybe use something like {{ Special:Prefixindex/User talk:Misza13/Archives/2008/01/Archive}} (based on Template:afd2)? Jason McHuff ( talk) 11:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Bot for auto-rating?Hey Misza13, I know this exists somewhere, just not sure where and you seem like a good person to ask. Do you know of a bot that checks to see if an article talk page has a quality/importance rating from a project, and then fills in empty ratings for the other project tags on the same page? I want something to auto-assess talkpages for {{ WikiProject Theatre}} - all the categories are empty since I just added the quality-assessment function - but I don't want to go rating 1,000 articles manually...

Archives not archivingI set up Misza bot to archive my user talk page, however I just discovered it isn't really archiving anything. It removes the old threads from my page, but it never puts them in the archive. On the archive summary, it says it is archiving "to /dev/null." I've removed it from now, but this is the code I used:

Trackers - analysis of logsHi Misza. I was looking at the trackers updated by your bot, and I was wondering if the same sort of thing can be done with block logs?
