Anomie is still around, mostly to maintain AnomieBOT. But after the WMF proved that office politics are more important to them than seemingly anything else, and otherwise generally seem more concerned with their own image than substance, Anomie is not engaging in technical work on MediaWiki. |
Despite T360488 asking them not to, Toolforge admins have gone ahead and broken AnomieBOT's scripts. Keeping things running properly will likely require manual intervention until they fix that or give me a usable workaround. |
Live status for all AnomieBOT tasks is available at Toolforge. |
Thank you. |

I was editing a draft and when I clicked publish, it said there was another and my publish would be disruptive. I published anyway (since I thought I could redo manually the other’s edit after) but… everything gone. My whole edit, all lost. I appreciate the bot to fix citations, but this situation is frustrating. The point of user name/draft page is to perfect a page as much as possible before publishing for others to see and edit, but now I lost lots of edit because of an outside unexpected edit. Again, I don’t blame the bot, just asking if there’s a way to prevent bot from editing a user name/draft page. — Daeva Trạc ( talk) 04:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
@ AnomieBOT I'm writing a draft and I have a problem with citing a source here. Could you help me fix it again? Thanks! ⚒️ ★MinecraftPlayer★321⚒️ Let's Chat! 22:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
https://iw.toolforge.org/anomiebot is showing most tasks as "pod missing". * Pppery * it has begun... 17:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
In this edit, in addition to the useful work (correcting the template name), the bot for no reason also removed all the spaces between the template parameters, which has turned "editor-friendly wikitext" into " editor-hostile wikitext". Please adjust the bot behavior to avoid removing such spaces. — Mikhail Ryazanov ( talk) 19:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi all, does anyone know why the bot hasn't started archiving from here please? I've edited the code so it mirrors Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Botswana, which does archive, but the closed discussions are still lingering. Can anyone see something that I can't that's causing it not to happen? Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Anomie,
AnomieBOT III should have updated the broken redirect pages but it hasn't in 9 hours. Could you "restart" it? Many thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 18:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your work. It would be helpful if the bot could fix this syntax <ref https://www.swr.de/sport/mehr-sport/leichtathletik/swr-sporthelden-2023-kugelstossen-yemisi-ogunleye-100.html />
as in
Special:Diff/1211521503 instead of removing it altogether. Because the original edit was P&G-compliant if not technically correct, but then the bot removed the URL which in effect introduced unsourced statements to a BLP. An easy fix would be to convert it to a bare-url reference that can be filled later. Thanks, --

Why is the link to a linkedin page an unreliable source? I assume a website could be like that - but on the other hand a website should be a good source of information and confirmation of data. Could I remove the comment in the bio I prepared? thanks Lemonidess ( talk) 14:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
