Hi Shubinator, I was attempting to run DYKcheck on two articles tonight (including Soaring Stones) and I ran into some issues. The check never finished processing and only output the following lines:
The third line is blank and the DYK eligibility scan states that it is still in progress. I know that the article fails the DYK check, but it does not tell me so. Do you know why?
Thank you, MJ94 ( talk) 07:53, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
A bot is going around replacing transclusions of template redirects ( example). It would save some unnecessary edits if DYKUpdateBot started using {{ DYK talk}} instead of {{ dyktalk}}. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 08:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
as it missed the last update on 13 January, thanks. Materialscientist ( talk) 02:35, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
I've just archived a bunch of stuff from my talk page. There are a few requests/bugs still on my list though:
On a slightly related note, it looks like MediaWiki authentication changes will be rolled out in the next few weeks, which will disrupt the bots.
If I missed/forgot something, let me know! Shubinator ( talk) 05:49, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
I noticed DYKHousekeepingBot has been inactive for seven hours, which is strange considering how frequently this bot edits. Jolly Ω Janner 21:57, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
Shubinator, it's currently 22:47, and the DYKHousekeepingBot hasn't done an update since 14:41. As there have been a great many changes to the list of nominations in the past eight hours, the bot would appear to be down. It strikes me that DYKUpdateBot may well be down, too. Can you please check them? Many thanks. I'll drop a note to our manual updaters, so they know to keep an eye out at midnight in case DYKUpdateBot isn't awake then.

DYKUpdateBot appears to have halted in the middle of the 12:00 27 January 2016 (UTC) update. The bot completed the user talk page credits but failed to add a {{ DYKfile}} template to File:Fleet Street. By James Valentine c.1890..jpg, clear Template:Did you know/Queue/1, or update Template:Did you know/Queue/Next. The bot has also failed to clear a test message placed into User:DYKUpdateBot/Errors. DYKHousekeepingBot appears to be operating normally. A glance through the Labs-l mailing list finds some recent NFS problems so this may be server related. I will leave things alone till 20:00 or 22:00 (UTC) in case you get a chance to look at the situation but will manually complete the incomplete update before the 00:00 28 Jan update is scheduled to run if needed. -- Allen3 talk 13:18, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
It appears the problem with tagging an image file has returned. The 12:00 February 26, 2016 update by DYKUpdateBot completed all the userpage notifications but the image tag at File:Mells Somerset2.JPG is still pending. -- Allen3 talk 12:15, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
DYKUpdateBot missed the latest update and DYKHousekeepingBot has not made an update for over 5 hours. There was a series of reboots on the Labs servers today (a continuation of yesterday's security reboots), so that is the most likely cause of the outage. Please check/restart things when you get a chance. -- Allen3 talk 00:32, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
Please have a look. The DYKUpdateBot makes all hooks for February 29 red at Wikipedia:Did you know/DYK hook count, even though those hooks are clearly not yet late. Must have something to do with today being leap day and all? Not sure how easy this is to fix, but it sure is an eyesore. Well, have a nice day regardless!—♦♦ AMBER (ЯʘCK) 11:59, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect File:E Minas Geraes C.jpeg. Since you had some involvement with the File:E Minas Geraes C.jpeg redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Stefan2 ( talk) 20:51, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Shubinator, I wasn't sure whether you had seen the notification for this one, but it's being displayed at the top of the Watchlist page:
Wikimedia Technical Operations is planning a
major infrastructure migration on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC. This process is expected to take 15 to 30 minutes each time. During these times, you will be able to read, but not edit any page. The team apologizes for the disruption.
Assuming DYK doesn't get unmoored from its noon/midnight schedule (not a safe assumption, alas, as prep builders haven't been that active), that would mean a check before midnight on those days to be sure the DYK bots don't need to be restarted. I have no idea whether this even fits your schedule, but I thought a heads up now might avoid bot issues later. Thanks as always for keeping the bots running. BlueMoonset ( talk) 21:35, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Shubinator, DYKUpdateBot promoted Queue 3 to the main page at 14:06, but didn't finish the final two steps: clearing out Queue 3 at the end, and setting the next queue to be Queue 4. Both of those steps have been done by hand. So far as I can tell, it did all of the talk page notifications. We'll find out at 01:51 UTC whether the next main-page promotion starts on schedule. (Queue 4 is ready to go.) I thought you'd want to know about this hiccup. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:10, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
I recieved your message indicating that step 3 for my DYK nomination of the gender-based price discrimination page. However, I added my nomination to the May 6th date on the nominations page per step 3. Can you let me know if I did something wrong. I am unfamiliar with this process.
Thank you

DYKUpdateBot missed the 12:00 2 June 2016 (UTS) update. There is some maintenance occurring on the Lab servers, but it is not clear from what I can see if the maintenance is of a type that could affect the bot. Please check things when you get a chance. -- Allen3 talk 12:27, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
I manually cleared the queue about 6 hours later, but the bot missed clearing it. — Maile ( talk) 17:53, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Did not do the updates this morning. It seems to have stopped about 12 hours ago. Please fix. — Maile ( talk) 12:24, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Shubinator, it doesn't look like DYKUpdateBot finished the last set of updates, though it did the bulk of the work. It didn't clear the queue, and it hasn't promoted the subsequently loaded queue, though that was in place at 08:15, in plenty of time for a 12:05 promotion. Please do what you can to get the bot running as soon as you can, or if it's running, to pick up the waiting queue. Many thanks.
Allen3, is there any chance you can do a manual promotion while we're waiting for the bot to be restarted? Thanks for anything you can do.
Note that Queue 3, the queue that is currently sitting there waiting for promotion, is also the queue that wasn't cleared by the bot (not to worry: this is an entirely new set of hooks, taken from Prep 5). There's been a bit of confusion lately around preps and queues; I'm hoping that things will straighten out going forward. BlueMoonset ( talk) 20:34, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
