If you think Kumi-Taskbot is currently making bad edits, leave a message here and it will stop.
If you are not sure, be on the safe side and stop it - I don't mind - honest!
Please mention an article that has been affected.
Replies will generally be on the user's own page, and copied to the archive if I find time.-- Kumioko ( talk) 20:11, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
The taskbot is removing MILHIST Assessments. The bot seems to be removing the | marks separating categories. Here and here it altered talk pages incorrectly. -- MOLEY ( talk) 22:13, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Your edits to some Irish articles is breaking the WikiProject Ireland banner like this edit. Please fix it or stop using it. Thanks ww2censor ( talk) 19:56, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
Such as you did here. I've already asked once and explained why. Brad ( talk) 06:03, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
I do not see the Bot Approval for making edits that are effectively null Example. There is nothing wrong with template redirects. -- Guerillero | My Talk 21:47, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
The task bot has begun giving $2 instead of a | to pages within the scope of WP:MILHIST. Here and here it has reformatted the MILHIST boxes to where the articles are taken out of the scope of the project. I think it also did it to other articles but I fixed them manually. Much Ado, -- MOLEY ( talk) 20:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
The bot does not appear to be checking of the article is a redirect page. For example Talk:1918 Washington Huskies football team. -- Traveler100 ( talk) 18:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
Thanks for the conversion, but there are a couple details to be worked out. I'll use this [1] (the first I saw) as an example:
The space after the template has been elided, making it a run-on with the following transcription.
The word "pronounced" is dropped, and the default behavior of the new template not suppressed, so here [2], for example,
becomes,
which can sometimes sound pretty bad.
I think the fixes are explained on the request page. Basically, the word "pronounced" should be added in front of the new template, and a pipe at the end of it; if the pron-en template already had a pipe, then it should be doubled.
Probably doesn't matter too much on talk pages, but it could mess up the presentation on portaled articles.
Thanks!

PS. Looks like there were only 43 fixes before I stopped the bot.
These should be protected from the bot's alterations—example here. In fact, shouldn't comments on all talk pages be put out of its reach?-- Old Moonraker ( talk) 08:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi
Just to let you know that the GOCE "copyedited by" banner should not be put into the project shell template. GOCE has no "interest" in these articles, rather the GOCE banner is a record of a major copyedit (usually a request) similar to a review. Chaosdruid ( talk) 12:27, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Bot is adding WikiProject United States templates to articles not related to USA. I have already reverted this for Talk:United States of Mexico and Talk:United States of Belgium. I have stopped the bot. Please correct before initiating again. Thanks, SchreyP ( messages) 17:42, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
I notice that you are adding the project banner to bird articles that start with American. Please note that that may not always be appropriate. I've removed the tag from American green kingfisher. Three of the four species do not occur in the US, and the fourth only just reaches southernmost Texas. I don't think that justifies adding the project tag (If you think that, you might as well add it to bird, table, book or anything else ever recorded in the US)
I'm not clear what the point is of adding incriminated spammy tags to articles in which your project appears to have no active involvement. If other countries follow this thinking, we could have dozens of country tags before we even get to the WP:BIRDS project.

I just found half a dozen false positives in 5 minutes, including Americano FC, a Brazilian soccer team. This disruptive, blind tagging must stop now. Best, Markvs88 ( talk) 18:25, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Bot is making indiscriminate and inappropriate edits to bird articles. Pointless even where the species is genuinely US, disruptive for family/genus articles where most are not US, and for tropical species which have only a marginal presence in the US Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:24, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
