Archive for May 2013 InformationMiszaBot II archiving current RfCHi. This archiving of a current RfC has been undone and removed from Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Archive 222. I hope that's OK. -- Trevj ( talk) 06:54, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Bot failing when encountering blacklisted ELSee this edit. The bot deleted the threads from the talk page but failed to save the threads anywhere. When I undid the bot's deletion the spam filter would not let me save the undo due to an external link being placed on the blacklist. I altered the offending EL and saved the undo and will let the bot try archiving again. What can be done to prevent this in the future? I would suggest the bot make the save to the archive first, and upon being rejected by the spam filter then no deletion is made from the talk page in the first place (because the spam filter would also disallow the bot to undo the original deletion from the talk page without fixing the blacklisted EL -- as it did to me). Or, upon the bot's edit being denied by the spam filter, the bot reports the edit to the talk page so a human can make the correction. Thoughts?

Bot not entering b in change logYour bot doesn't appear to be entering 'mb' in its signature but only 'm'. Robert McClenon ( talk) 00:49, 1 May 2013 (UTC) According to the history of that talk page, Miszabot has created "Archive 48". That archive does indeed exist. But there is no trace of any archive on the actual talk page, and the "48" is obviously rogue as the archive has "threads" back to 2004 and there is no archive 47. ?!?!? -- Sussexonian ( talk) 14:20, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Miszabot confuses meThe account User:MiszaBot appears to be blocked, with bots I, II, and III (wow, I never expected to write III|III]]) doing the work...but a lot of the documentation is hosted at the "old" bot page. It's strange because if you attempt to comment on, say, the FAQ, you get a "user is blocked" red box. Also, the Miszabot page has one of those bot shutdown buttons, suggesting it's a real bot. I figured it out but maybe it's suboptimal organization? On a related note, you may want to register/redirect/block the accounts User:Miszabot I, User:Miszabot II, and User:Miszabot III? WP:BEANS, but they seem tempting targets. (Maybe accounts with "bot" are autoprevented somehow.) -- stillnotelf is invisible 16:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Wikinews Importer BotThe Wikinews Importer Bot ( talk · contribs) hasn't edited since May 3.

The entire talk page was harvested. Minthreads left was = 4. I've restored the last several discussions from Archive 3. — Cpiral Cpiral 17:53, 8 May 2013 (UTC) A day, no bot activityIs the bot running today? The contribs suggest its last act was May 11. Needs attention? History2007 ( talk) 21:58, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Anybody know what's happening, or when the bot will be working again?
HeyYour bot is not archiving my stuff. Its set to do it every 30 days but it wont so I have to do it myself. Its annoying. Could you fix this or something. BlackDragon 14:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
{{User:MiszaBot/config |algo = old(30d) |archive = User talk:Black60dragon/Archive 2 }}
K thanks and I meant 30 days old. And someone edited the bot part a while back. Im not sure what they changed though . BlackDragon 01:03, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Misza, the archiving appears not to be working on this page. I changed it on 17 May to 10 days [1] but nothing has been archived since then (in fact, nothing has been archived since 8 May). Would you mind taking a look? SlimVirgin (talk) 20:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

script inactive sysopsHei Misza13, please take a look at User talk:Misza13/Archives/2013/03#script inactive sysops, the script is out of order since months now. Would be great, if you or anyone else reading this would repair it at any time. Would also be good, if the message wouldn’t disappear in the archive, as long as nothing has been changed with the script. -- Geit ost 11:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Script fixed, it was just a matter of pointing the coded to correct servers and databases. Seems you'll have to live without CSS on my pages, unfortunately. MediaWiki seems to have changed the way it loads styles into pages a while ago and my "hack" of stealing Wikipedia's styles doesn't seem to be working anymore. And I don't have time to investigate how to fix it now. If anyone has an idea with what to replace the following archaic lines: @import " http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/shared.css?80"; @import " http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css?80"; I'm open to suggestions. — Миша 13 16:55, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Bot Broke the FormattingIt appears that MiszaBot broke the formatting of Wikipedia Talk: Vandalism.

Feature requestI'd like the bot to archive also when a section is marked "resolved" (at least after 48h). - DePiep ( talk) 23:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC) |
