Since this seems to be the one to replace the Article Alert Bot, will the projects have to resubscribe? Nascar 1996 01:01, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
ArticleAlertbot, the bot that historically generated article alerts, has been down since April 2010. A new bot, being developed by JoeGazz84 isn't online yet. Meanwhile, your bot, AAlertBot just went on a 14 day trial.
My questions are this:
1) Are these both the same thing?
2) Will AAlertBot be using the same {{ArticleAlertbotSubscription|display=columns}} that came with the wikiprojects when they got created?
3) What do I need to do to make sure my projects are subscribed for AAlertBot?
Thanks, Sven Manguard Wha? 03:35, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not and I didn't see it mentioned elsewhere so I'm reporting it here: Unlike ArticleAlertbot, this one appears to be massively increasing the size of the report page in at least the case of http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Article_alerts&action=history.

Hello. Recently, WikiProject Kentucky decided to be supported by WikiProject United States, which resulted in a merging of our project banners. WP:KY articles are now (or soon will be) recognized by talk pages that contain {{ WikiProject United States}} with the KY parameter set to "yes". I think this change has broken the AAlertBot reporting for WP:KY, as two DYKs (for Harry Toulmin (Unitarian minister) and Martin D. Hardin) and one GAC (for John Sherman Cooper) have not been reported. Could you please check to see if this is the case and if so, make a change that will fix it? I find the report helpful, personally, and would like to see it continue to be accurate. You might also check to see which other U.S. state-level projects this will affect. Several have merged with WP:USA lately. Thanks in advance. Acdixon ( talk · contribs) 14:51, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
I had an idea to help automate some of the tasks in the to do templates currently in use by many of the WikiProject United States supported projects. Before I do though I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to bog the bot down. Here is the basic description of the idea: The template Tasks was recently modified to allow the inclusion of things like Featured and good article reviews and a few other things that this bot picks up. What I was thinking was to create a page, for each of these tasks for the projects and then embed those pages in the To do list for the project which would essentially automate the articles that were visible. That way when they werer promoted or demoted they would be removed from the list without manual intervention.
I would like to try this on one or 2 projects first before full blown implementation but before I even did that I wanted to run it by you. I was thinking of establing a naming scheme of Project name/to do/applicable alert (GAC, FAC, etc). Is this something that would be ok.-- Kumioko ( talk) 21:24, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
After several months of inactivity, a new bot has been coded to replace User:ArticleAlertbot. See the bot request for approval for details. As this represent a total reboot of the project, all previous discussions have been archived in Archive 1, Archive 2, and Archive 3 (also accessible from the archive box, on the right).
Subsequent archives ( /Archive 4) and up refer to the new bot. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:34, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
The various AA-related talk pages were growing massive, so I just went on an archiving spree (and set up automated archiving of this page, which should kick-in sometimes in the next 24 hours). Feel free to de-archive some of the stuff if you think it shouldn't have been archived. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:39, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, when I complain that WikiProjects aren't being notified on their talk pages about XFDs, I'm either told "that violates
WP:CANVAS", or "you should subscribe to Article Alerts". But I've found that the latter isn't reliable - for example,
Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Article alerts was not informed about
this TFD, even though it was informed about a different TFD
raised a week later by the same person,
see here. All the relevant template talk pages bear a {{

19:51, 29 April 2012 (UTC)This bot regularly updates Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Article alerts page. However, it does not always catch up with the articles listed on AfD at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India. I have both pages on my watchlist and hence i would not face any problem in AfDs. But other users might. Also, i am not aware of any other page for seeing alerts on PRODs, GA Noms, Move requests, etc. other than this page. If the bot doesn't keep up with all AfDs, is it also missing some PRODs? That's quite bad. PRODs definitely need to be notified properly. §§ AnimeshKulkarni ( talk) 08:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if this will affect AAlertBot, but I decided to let you know anyway. I just moved WP:WikiProject Defunct Airlines so that it is a task force.

That way when they werer promoted or demoted they would be removed from the list without manual intervention.
I would like to try this on one or 2 projects first before full blown implementation but before I even did that I wanted to run it by you. I was thinking of establing a naming scheme of Project name/to do/applicable alert (GAC, FAC, etc). Is this something that would be ok.-- Kumioko ( talk) 21:24, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
After several months of inactivity, a new bot has been coded to replace User:ArticleAlertbot. See the bot request for approval for details. As this represent a total reboot of the project, all previous discussions have been archived in Archive 1, Archive 2, and Archive 3 (also accessible from the archive box, on the right).
Subsequent archives ( /Archive 4) and up refer to the new bot. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:34, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
The various AA-related talk pages were growing massive, so I just went on an archiving spree (and set up automated archiving of this page, which should kick-in sometimes in the next 24 hours). Feel free to de-archive some of the stuff if you think it shouldn't have been archived. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:39, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, when I complain that WikiProjects aren't being notified on their talk pages about XFDs, I'm either told "that violates
WP:CANVAS", or "you should subscribe to Article Alerts". But I've found that the latter isn't reliable - for example,
Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Article alerts was not informed about
this TFD, even though it was informed about a different TFD
raised a week later by the same person,
see here. All the relevant template talk pages bear a {{
TrainsWikiProject}}

AAlertBot made this edit adding 10 RfDs but I don't see any discussions, nor were any of those pages were changed, nor are they redirects in the first place. Am I missing something? Valfontis ( talk) 19:36, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

If I take for example WP:VG/AA, there are FfDs older than 7 days that are pending closure. The "see discussion" link for File:Sparkster (SNES).png on the AA page points to Wikipedia:Files for deletion#File:Sparkster (SNES).png, while the actual discussion is currently at Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 April 16#File:Sparkster (SNES).png. Is it technically possible to have these links update after the discussion is moved (I believe it is after 7 days)? Salvidrim! 19:13, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

19:51, 29 April 2012 (UTC)This bot regularly updates Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Article alerts page. However, it does not always catch up with the articles listed on AfD at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India. I have both pages on my watchlist and hence i would not face any problem in AfDs. But other users might. Also, i am not aware of any other page for seeing alerts on PRODs, GA Noms, Move requests, etc. other than this page. If the bot doesn't keep up with all AfDs, is it also missing some PRODs? That's quite bad. PRODs definitely need to be notified properly. §§ AnimeshKulkarni ( talk) 08:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if this will affect AAlertBot, but I decided to let you know anyway. I just moved WP:WikiProject Defunct Airlines so that it is a task force. I've been moving its subpages too, particularly the article alerts page from Wikipedia:WikiProject Defunct Airlines/Article alerts to Wikipedia:WikiProject Airlines/Defunct airlines task force/Article alerts. Since it's a bot that edits the page, I wanted to make sure it didn't edit the former page (which is now a redirect to the new page. Please update the bot's programming to reflect this.

Thanks very much for maintaining and running this bot - it's really useful. Does the bot replace everything on the {{/Article alerts}} page, or will it leave headers such as <noinclude>{{{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Tabs}}</noinclude>

Maybe I have something set up wrong, but WikiProject Australian Roads isn't getting alerts for articles at A-Class Review. The delivery location is Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian Roads/Article alerts, ACRs are conducted through WikiProject Highways ( WP:HWY/ACR), and the talk page banner categorises articles at ACR into Category:WikiProject Australian Roads articles nominated for promotion at A-Class Review and Category:WikiProject Australian Roads articles nominated for demotion at A-Class Review.
