Hi there. Just curious how long the bot is going to keep posting articles that have since been de-PROD'd, as seen here. It's sort of driving me crazy, so if I know when they will stop being mentioned I'll be able to sleep at night. (Just kidding :) ) Thanks so much for the great bot.

AAlertBot hasn't updated Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums/Article alerts since 29 July. This has resulted in a rather important AfDs being missed by contributors! Any ideas how to get it listing regularly? Looking at the alert history, it's been fairly patchy. Given that AfDs are 7 day listings, a week off can have a big impact.

Why is Template:Infobox Upper Hutt suburbs still listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/Article alerts? The deletion of the template is still in progress but the discussion closed on 27 February 2014, which is surely the relevant date as far as alerts go. Nurg ( talk) 07:15, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
How do we remove these particular tennis project alerts? They have all been discussed and merged or acted upon and closed, yet they are still being placed in the tennis project alert section for 9 months. Did the closer forget to tag something?

Following my presentation at Wikimania ( slides), both DannyH (WMF) ( talk · contribs) and Kaldari ( talk · contribs) have expressed an interest in taking over / converting / doing something with Article Alerts.
The general idea was, I believe (correct me if I get the details wrong), to re-create the framework and externalizing the workflow config on a per-wiki basis. In plainspeak, this would mean letting people be able to set up Article Alerts in other languages, and tell the bot how things are setup in those languages since how deletion discussions happen there may not mirror how it's setup in English. This isn't a formal announcement of anything, but I thought I'd give a heads up on things that may be coming in the future.
I was under the impression that this is a project that would need to be proposed on the upcoming 2017 Community Wishlist and garner support there before the WMF allocates resources to this project. So I'd like to use this space for Ryan/Danny/Hellknowz/Myself/others can coordinate on a strategy, create some outline of what needs to happen for this proposal to be successful, and have a proposal draft before the Community Wishlist survey goes live. Ryan/Danny, any input on where we should hold such discussion? I feel it will become rather large, so we'll either want a dedicated subpage like Wikipedia:Article alerts/Roadmap, or some other thing, like a phabricator thread, or a meta page somewhere.
I talked to Hellknowz ( talk · contribs) this morning, and he was open to licensing the code under CC0, or some other WMF-compatible license. He also suggested implementing this as a extension rather than a bot.

I would like to use Wikipedia:WikiProject Catholicism/Article alerts for Talk:Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School#History. I tried placing it under "Requests for comments" though I have not formally requested comments. I modeled my request after KofC there, but it didn't take. My questions: 1) where do I put the "anchor|RfC" in connection with this request; 2) should I use some section other than Rfc; and 3) how do I make it compress as in the other entries on the page? My current effort (that didn't compress) is listed here:

A small change to Template:Requested move/dated is proposed at User talk:RMCD bot#Shared talk page. This is not expected to be a breaking change for bots, but, as I don't know that for sure, I'm posting the requested notification here. wbm1058 ( talk) 10:46, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Can somebody check I've done this edit correctly? Basically I want the bot to add any current GA nomination for an article covered by Wikipedia:WikiProject Women to be logged in Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Green/Article Alerts. This can then be transcluded into the main Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Green project page. The last time I tried to add a subscription, it took several days of tinkering about before I got it right, so I'd like some advice up-front this time!

I would like to use Wikipedia:WikiProject Catholicism/Article alerts for Talk:Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School#History. I tried placing it under "Requests for comments" though I have not formally requested comments. I modeled my request after KofC there, but it didn't take. My questions: 1) where do I put the "anchor|RfC" in connection with this request; 2) should I use some section other than Rfc; and 3) how do I make it compress as in the other entries on the page? My current effort (that didn't compress) is listed here:

A small change to Template:Requested move/dated is proposed at User talk:RMCD bot#Shared talk page. This is not expected to be a breaking change for bots, but, as I don't know that for sure, I'm posting the requested notification here. wbm1058 ( talk) 10:46, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Can somebody check I've done this edit correctly? Basically I want the bot to add any current GA nomination for an article covered by Wikipedia:WikiProject Women to be logged in Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Green/Article Alerts. This can then be transcluded into the main Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Green project page. The last time I tried to add a subscription, it took several days of tinkering about before I got it right, so I'd like some advice up-front this time!
