Hello,
could you add a bot function that ignores the plot summary? There was a consensus on WT:DYK that plot should not be counted. Regards.-- Tomcat ( 7) 15:35, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

For creating and maintaining DYKHousekeeperBot, which has twice now reminded me that I failed to transclude a DYK nomination after going to the trouble of working it up, I award you this barnstar and my thanks. Acdixon ( talk · contribs) 14:48, 19 November 2012 (UTC) |
I just noticed that the text in a footnote does not get counted for DYK when it is formatted like
See South Bastion, Gibraltar for an example. I am not sure if that is right or wrong. Is it deliberate or accidental? Aymatth2 ( talk) 14:23, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
Looks like DYKHousekeepingBot has had a hiccup. Could you perform a reset at your next convenience? -- Allen3 talk 00:15, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
I am the nominator of Brand New Me DYK as you can see there. Why I wasn't informed that the DYK made on the main page? — Tomíca (T2ME) 16:32, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
The bot missed crediting me for the DYK. It came late in the process. Please assist. Thank you. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 02:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

It's been a few hours since the bot last updated, and since I've approved at least one hook in the interim, it ought to have caught that. Can you wake it up and get it back on line? Many thanks, Shubinator. BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:50, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Shubinator, I think we need to go to twice-a-day DYK sets from thrice-a-day DYK sets—every 12 hours from every 8 hours. Is there anything I need to do from my end (I'm not an admin, so my options are limited), or can you handle it all from there?
We've just had Orlady do a (late) emergency queue-and-main page load because admins are very thin on the ground, we have 22 approved hooks to fill 48 empty slots, and I've done 12 of the last 13 or 14 prep sets myself. Under the circumstances, I have no qualms whatever about asking for the change until we can get approvals up and more regular attention from admins.
By the way, if you can, please also clear out Queue 3, which is the source of the hooks currently on the main page (and that will be there until 11:04 UTC). Incidentally, if you want to change 11:04 UTC to 12:00 UTC so the two-a-day sets start running at noon and midnight UTC, please be my guest.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your help, and hope this gets to you in time to implement. If not, I may have to shift around some prep sets: I'm going to be building the new ones to the new schedule. BlueMoonset ( talk) 03:37, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Adding: bet you didn't think I'd take you up on your offer to help out quite so soon... ;-) BlueMoonset ( talk) 03:40, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
And I should probably make it clear, though I suspect you've figured it out: while Orlady adjusted the times, she doesn't seem to have updated the queues: it's Prep 2, which needs to be moved into Queue 4, that's the one that should update at 11:04 or 12:00. BlueMoonset ( talk) 03:44, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Final update: queues were updated, sort of: Queue 3 got cleared out so it no longer had what was on the main page, but then got reloaded with Prep 2. So there is a queue loaded with new hooks and ready for the bot to pick up, just not the queue number I expected would be. Let me know whether you have succeeded in changing the frequency. We now have 19 approved hooks to fill 42 empty slots, which is not much of an improvement; I've built the two prep sets so they should work with the new two-a-day frequency. Thanks for your patience.
