Legobot is currently editing and adding daily entries over Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files. However, it's adding pages from two weeks ago, instead of one week ago. The length was changed to close discussions from two weeks to one following this proposal. Can this bot be updated to reflect that? — ξ xplicit 00:49, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Edit. Is this an error with the bot or is it supposed to eliminate links to prior deletion discussions? I think this action should cease. Candleabracadabra ( talk) 17:54, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Just an FYI, but the task is a bit redundant to this page already updated by another bot: Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken redirects. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 06:35, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Howdy. I recently noticed
this edit. That then led me to
here. It probably isn't a big deal, but wouldn't it have more appropriate to use the |file has rationale=yes
as mentioned at the top of the TfD for ogg files instead of what was used?--

TalkM 19:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)In this edit, Legobot added today's datestamp to a template, but somehow the {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} was added literally. The "subst" of the magic word (to insert the actual current month name) was performed later by another bot. During the intervening time, the actual wikicode markup is visible to readers. And if the second bot is delayed or doesn't happen (and some person edits this area later), the subst winds up inserting "current" for when the subst is finally done rather than "current" for when the CURRENTMONTHNAME word was added.

Why is your bot doing this? This category is redundant (or a parent category) to those already on the category. Please stop this and reverse all the additions of this category. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 06:06, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
I can't find the Instructions for adding this Bot to a talk page that I want to archive... User:HBC Archive Indexerbot has an Instructions section with code so I can set up the Archive Index for that Bot. Please tell me where the Instructions are so I can start adding this Bot to Talk pages that I am archiving. Cheers, Shearonink ( talk) 15:31, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Just an FYI, I've fixed the bug and have started a manual run of the bot, though it does have some catch-up work to do:
New pages: 23 Updated pages: 787

Why does Legobot capitalize templates like {{cite}}, like it recently did on
The Pirate Bay? This is 100% make-work, and is extremely irritating when I'm trying to look through recent changes to an article. Please make it stop doing this. —

Hello. I uploaded images of the dust jackets or covers of all eight novels written by J L Carr. Someone deleted one of them, the image of the cover of ' A Month in the Country', and I wasn't in a position to argue that it was fair use as I don't understand the arguments or technical language. I am delighted that your bot has updated the licence tags of some of the other images to argue that that the image has rationale=yes. Can you recover the deleted image so that all 8 novels are illustrated, or can I upload it again without someone deleting it? Please don't assume that I am expert, I am not, I just like to write what I know about. Thanks Ah1954 ( talk) 21:09, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

I have reverted Legobot's edit at WP:PUF, where it added a new day to the holding cell. It linked the log for October 21 today, but it should be linking October 20. It's a day too early, and it seems to have started doing that on October 25 UTC. — ξ xplicit 01:03, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

I carefully unspeedied a set of "Section xx of the Constitution of Australia" and "yyy Corps (Germany)" redirects with red links because I think they are all valid redirects which need fixing rather than deleting. The bot promptly re-tagged them. I am prepared to discus this with an human being but I do accept a bot reversing my edits. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 00:20, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I fully agree. I have fixed the Australian ones and will do the German ones shortly. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 01:17, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Now fixed. In fact the bot was correct in every case. I should have investigated and actioned appropriately at the time instead of simply removing the tag. Any mods to the bot are very low priority. But why does it need to maintain a list? Surely it can simply check the edit history to see if it has been there before? — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 11:23, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
