I have emailed CydeWeys to let him know that CydeBot is not deleting certain categories listed at WP:CFDW. – Fayenatic L ondon 20:44, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Yes, Bushranger is correct. This behavior isn't an inherent limitation of the bot; it's simply a consensus we arrived at a long, long time ago (maybe in 2007 or so?) to help prevent errors. It'd be pretty easy to have the bot always delete the From categories in these cases once they are empty. Are we thinking that's the direction we want to go in now? Should we open it up to a wider discussion? I honestly forget the rationale behind why it is the way it is. -- Cyde Weys 15:27, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
I think I remembered why it is the way it is. The reasoning is that we don't want to risk losing the content of the From category page itself. If both the From and the To category already exist, there's no guarantee that the content was moved to To, so deleting the From in these cases may not be the correct behavior. So it comes down to a human decision, deciding whether the To category is sufficient (and thus the From category can be deleted outright), or if the text should be copied over into the To category first before deletion. It's inherently an editorial decision, and thus not something a bot could handle without strong AI. -- Cyde Weys 15:30, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
Sorry to have come to the party late on this one, but it looks like speedy renaming was used for a whole bunch of categories relating to New Zealand's Otago Region after the region's article was moved from Otago Region to (the more ambiguous) Otago (e.g., here). Unfortunately, in doing so, it meant that those categories no longer conform to the standard naming for New Zealand regions. The Otago (Region) categories stick out like a sore thumb because they are now the only ones which do not have "Region" as part of their names. Grutness... wha? 08:50, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Does anybody who watches this page want to help with the semi-backlog of closures? A lot of them are not hard closes, they are just ones that the currently active closers can't close for various reasons. And there are some hard ones too. :) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:21, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
When a category is to be renamed, why does Cydebot create a new cat page and delete the old, rather than use the "move page" feature? This has been possible on categories for some weeks now, and it preserves the history. The bot knows how to move pages, since it does that for the Category talk: page; it also has the admin bit, since it deletes the old cat redirect (and the old cat talk redir) once all the member pages are updated and the old cat is empty.

For info on the bots which normally do the heavy labour here: Cydebot is not working on this page, nor is AvicBot. I have emailed both their owners. Cyde said he would look into it shortly.
Armbrust is using his bot to transfer pages and empty old categories, but it is not authorised to do deletions. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:36, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I just spotted that on 31 May 2016, the protection level of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working was reduced [2] from full protection to template protection, by User:Jc37. I can find no trace of any attempt by Jc37 to discuss this change or to notify other editors that it had been done ... so pending the consensus of a discussion here, I will restore full protection after posting this message, and notify Jc37 of this discussion.
Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working had been fully protected since 2007, apart from a brief lifting of protection from Dec08 to March09. See the original 2007 discussion and the 2009 discussion. (Disclosure: in each case, I instigated the protection).
The ability to delete pages is otherwise restricted to WP:ADMINs. However, WP:CFD/W gives an editor the ability to send a bot off to delete, merge or move categories, at high speed on a big scale, which is like admin deletion powers on steroids. This page was first protected in 2007 when it was used by a non-admin for just such an act of vandalism, so it seems logical to allow only admins to instruct these bots.
Unlike articles, categories are very hard to restore if the damage is not spotted promptly. The bot-owners cannot be expected to manually cross-check every entry in CFD/W; the bots assume that the entries have been created in good faith, by competent editors ... and the community's long-established mechanism for deciding which editors should can be trusted to delete pages is by choosing admins.
Template protection is a newer level of protection, introduced in late 2013 after RFC:Template editor user right found a clear consensus to "give trusted template coders the ability to edit templates, modules, and edit notices that have been fully protected for precautionary reasons" (emphasis added by me). AFAIK, that has worked well ... but WP:CFD/W is not a place for template coding. It is a place for instructing bots.
WP:CFD/W is not a template, and -- contrary to Jc37's claim when changing the protection level -- is not transcluded anywhere. Part of it used to be trancluded on to the WP:CFD mainpage, but that practice ended in April 2014 when the transcluded section was split out to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Awaiting closure, after this discussion. Jc37 was a party to that discussion, so I am surprised that Jc37 still thinks that CFD/W is transcluded anywhere.
What do others think? Keep the full protection, or change to another level? -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 01:08, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Full protection restored [3]; User:Jc37 notified [4]. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 01:30, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
As many of you are probably aware, Cydebot experienced an extended outage at the end of August through the beginning of September. Outages were unfortunately nothing new as regards to Cydebot, owing to the server running remotely at a location with flaky power. But unlike all those other outages, the server did not boot back up this time. Something more serious is wrong with it, and since I'm not physically near it I begin to debug and fix it. I've thus migrated all of Cydebot's tasks over to Wikimedia's Tool Labs, which has much better uptime and should drastically reduce Cydebot downtime problems, and have turned down the server permanently.
So I think a eulogy for Cydebot's server is warranted. It all started in early 2005, when I got a small grant of $600 from the University of Maryland to assemble a server to handle collaboration (specifically, source control and wiki hosting) for a four-year research project team I was a member of. Keep in mind this was before the existence of GitHub, Wikia, or almost all of the other cloud-hosted services, which might have obviated the need for the server. The server was named teamgamer
, after the name of our team and the domain it hosted. It had middling hardware even for the time, which remained unchanged over the past eleven years.
I ran Teamgamer under my bed in the university dorms, taking advantage of the high speed on-campus network that residential broadband couldn't hold a candle to. This was also when I was starting to get pretty heavily into writing bots for Wikipedia, and naturally I hosted them on the Linux server that I already. In addition to Cydebot, teamgamer also ran AntiVandalBot ( talk · contribs) ( see article here), which scarfed up all edits to Wikipedia in real time, and reverted some of them. I was theoretically supposed to give teamgamer back to the university upon graduation, because it had been purchased with their money after all, but no one asked for it back, so I kept it. It ran in the basement of my parents' house for the next nine years until it finally died last month. My parents deserve thanks for the large number of times they've restarted the server over that period.
And now it's dead. Teamgamer, laughably out of date eleven years later but still perfectly capable of running bot tasks, has finally given up the ghost. In that time period it ran dozens of different tasks, including its most long-lived and high-impact task, processing WP:CFDW. It made over six million edits, which I suspect is some kind of record. Its OS was updated to the latest version of Ubuntu some twenty times, never once requiring a fresh reinstall — it ran the vast majority of Ubuntu releases that have ever existed. Given how important (if gnomish) its long reign was, I figured its passing deserved some mentioning. Good-by teamgamer. I'll miss you. -- Cyde Weys 16:08, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

The move was a bit short-sighted, as "New Mexico Scenic and Historic Byways" is a legal definition, yet there are other scenic byways in the state that got swept into the category in the move. I have restored Category:Scenic highways in New Mexico with the one extant list that does not apply. This is similar to how things are set up with Category:Scenic highways in Michigan where not all Pure Michigan Byways are classified scenic and not all roadways classified scenic are part of the Pure Michigan Byway System (again, that's a legal designation).

I would like to gauge consensus for requesting a new bot to take over Cydebot's functions. My main concerns with Cydebot right now are:
My preference would be for the new bot to accept manual input when a category redirect should be created—for example, by adding leading text when a redirect is wanted, such as * REDIRECT [[:Category:Foo]] to [[:Category:Bar]]
.
Any thoughts? I would like to make sure we discuss here before going off to WP:BOTREQ. (FYI: I pinged Armbrust to see if ArmbrustBot could do it, but he prefers to keep his bot as a back-up bot.) Thanks, -- Black Falcon ( talk) 18:43, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

I think a user script for merging / moving categories should be pretty easy. I already have User:DannyS712 test/DNC bot.js for going through the pages in a category (in the selected namespace(s)) and applying a regex, so for category moving it would be replace category:A with category:B, and for merging it would be replace with category:B unless category:B is already present, in which case just remove category:A. The script would probably need to be manually triggered until I move to toolforge, but if there is interest I could try to work on one. Thoughts? -- DannyS712 ( talk) 02:13, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

It just became apparent that until now Cydebot has not been flagged as a bot at Wikidata. Its category moves should automatically update the linked Wikidata items, but if a bot appears to Wikidata to be a regular user, then it is subject to edit limits in Wikidata.
This resulted in some category changes not being updated at Wikidata when Cydebot was moving a large number of categories that contained relatively few immediate members (hence, Cydebot was making category page moves at an unusually high rate).
For more info see Wikidata Project chat.
Any other bots that move category pages will also need the bot flag at Wikidata. @ Armbrust, DannyS712, Avicennasis, and BU Rob13: please note. – Fayenatic London 20:01, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
Does anyone know how to get the contents moved over? They seem to be populated by entries on templates on each of the contents but it's extremely difficult to identify just what needs adjusting without creating a sea of red links.
More generally categories populated by template entries need to be strong resisted. They are an utter pain to rename, often requiring either deep indepth switches or substituting the template, and offer very little advantage over manual entry. Timrollpickering ( Talk) 13:16, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

01:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC)On this day, there was a proposal to rename Category:Lists of userboxes to Category:Userbox galleries for Wikipedia-wide userboxes, and Category:Userbox galleries to Category:Personal userbox galleries for personal userboxes. As an example of a textbook programming mistake, the bot first moved everything from Category:Lists of userboxes to Category:Userbox galleries, and then of course everything from Category:Userbox galleries to Category:Personal userbox galleries, so that Category:Userbox galleries became a redirect, and all userboxes, personal or not, made it to Category:Personal userbox galleries. Does anybody know an easy way to repair the damage, except for crwaling manually through the bot move logs? Thanks.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 11:00, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
It would be unrealistic to ask bots to handle all cases of categories generated by templates, but @ JJMC89: could your bot cover cases like Category:Elections in the United States by year and state to Category:Elections in the United States by year and location, where the member pages have the following line?
parent=Elections in the United States by year and state
The subcat=
parameter might also be one to update in other cases. –

I propose deprecating Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Large. While the page may or may not have served a purpose at one point, currently it seems to just fragment /Working, and force us to watch and maintain an extra page. There is no particular need to keep the /Working page "clean" of large category changes—category changes in general are not urgent, and so there is no particular need to be concerned about a large change delaying smaller ones. Thoughts? -- Black Falcon ( talk) 00:50, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

I have emailed CydeWeys to let him know that CydeBot is not deleting certain categories listed at WP:CFDW. – Fayenatic L ondon 20:44, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Yes, Bushranger is correct. This behavior isn't an inherent limitation of the bot; it's simply a consensus we arrived at a long, long time ago (maybe in 2007 or so?) to help prevent errors. It'd be pretty easy to have the bot always delete the From categories in these cases once they are empty. Are we thinking that's the direction we want to go in now? Should we open it up to a wider discussion? I honestly forget the rationale behind why it is the way it is. -- Cyde Weys 15:27, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
I think I remembered why it is the way it is. The reasoning is that we don't want to risk losing the content of the From category page itself. If both the From and the To category already exist, there's no guarantee that the content was moved to To, so deleting the From in these cases may not be the correct behavior. So it comes down to a human decision, deciding whether the To category is sufficient (and thus the From category can be deleted outright), or if the text should be copied over into the To category first before deletion. It's inherently an editorial decision, and thus not something a bot could handle without strong AI. -- Cyde Weys 15:30, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
Sorry to have come to the party late on this one, but it looks like speedy renaming was used for a whole bunch of categories relating to New Zealand's Otago Region after the region's article was moved from Otago Region to (the more ambiguous) Otago (e.g., here). Unfortunately, in doing so, it meant that those categories no longer conform to the standard naming for New Zealand regions. The Otago (Region) categories stick out like a sore thumb because they are now the only ones which do not have "Region" as part of their names. Grutness... wha? 08:50, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Does anybody who watches this page want to help with the semi-backlog of closures? A lot of them are not hard closes, they are just ones that the currently active closers can't close for various reasons. And there are some hard ones too. :) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:21, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
When a category is to be renamed, why does Cydebot create a new cat page and delete the old, rather than use the "move page" feature? This has been possible on categories for some weeks now, and it preserves the history. The bot knows how to move pages, since it does that for the Category talk: page; it also has the admin bit, since it deletes the old cat redirect (and the old cat talk redir) once all the member pages are updated and the old cat is empty.

I just spotted that on 31 May 2016, the protection level of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working was reduced [2] from full protection to template protection, by User:Jc37. I can find no trace of any attempt by Jc37 to discuss this change or to notify other editors that it had been done ... so pending the consensus of a discussion here, I will restore full protection after posting this message, and notify Jc37 of this discussion.
Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working had been fully protected since 2007, apart from a brief lifting of protection from Dec08 to March09. See the original 2007 discussion and the 2009 discussion. (Disclosure: in each case, I instigated the protection).
The ability to delete pages is otherwise restricted to WP:ADMINs. However, WP:CFD/W gives an editor the ability to send a bot off to delete, merge or move categories, at high speed on a big scale, which is like admin deletion powers on steroids. This page was first protected in 2007 when it was used by a non-admin for just such an act of vandalism, so it seems logical to allow only admins to instruct these bots.
Unlike articles, categories are very hard to restore if the damage is not spotted promptly. The bot-owners cannot be expected to manually cross-check every entry in CFD/W; the bots assume that the entries have been created in good faith, by competent editors ... and the community's long-established mechanism for deciding which editors should can be trusted to delete pages is by choosing admins.
Template protection is a newer level of protection, introduced in late 2013 after RFC:Template editor user right found a clear consensus to "give trusted template coders the ability to edit templates, modules, and edit notices that have been fully protected for precautionary reasons" (emphasis added by me). AFAIK, that has worked well ... but WP:CFD/W is not a place for template coding. It is a place for instructing bots.
WP:CFD/W is not a template, and -- contrary to Jc37's claim when changing the protection level -- is not transcluded anywhere. Part of it used to be trancluded on to the WP:CFD mainpage, but that practice ended in April 2014 when the transcluded section was split out to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Awaiting closure, after this discussion. Jc37 was a party to that discussion, so I am surprised that Jc37 still thinks that CFD/W is transcluded anywhere.
What do others think? Keep the full protection, or change to another level? -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 01:08, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Full protection restored [3]; User:Jc37 notified [4]. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 01:30, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
As many of you are probably aware, Cydebot experienced an extended outage at the end of August through the beginning of September. Outages were unfortunately nothing new as regards to Cydebot, owing to the server running remotely at a location with flaky power. But unlike all those other outages, the server did not boot back up this time. Something more serious is wrong with it, and since I'm not physically near it I begin to debug and fix it. I've thus migrated all of Cydebot's tasks over to Wikimedia's Tool Labs, which has much better uptime and should drastically reduce Cydebot downtime problems, and have turned down the server permanently.
So I think a eulogy for Cydebot's server is warranted. It all started in early 2005, when I got a small grant of $600 from the University of Maryland to assemble a server to handle collaboration (specifically, source control and wiki hosting) for a four-year research project team I was a member of. Keep in mind this was before the existence of GitHub, Wikia, or almost all of the other cloud-hosted services, which might have obviated the need for the server. The server was named teamgamer
, after the name of our team and the domain it hosted. It had middling hardware even for the time, which remained unchanged over the past eleven years.
I ran Teamgamer under my bed in the university dorms, taking advantage of the high speed on-campus network that residential broadband couldn't hold a candle to. This was also when I was starting to get pretty heavily into writing bots for Wikipedia, and naturally I hosted them on the Linux server that I already. In addition to Cydebot, teamgamer also ran AntiVandalBot ( talk · contribs) ( see article here), which scarfed up all edits to Wikipedia in real time, and reverted some of them. I was theoretically supposed to give teamgamer back to the university upon graduation, because it had been purchased with their money after all, but no one asked for it back, so I kept it. It ran in the basement of my parents' house for the next nine years until it finally died last month. My parents deserve thanks for the large number of times they've restarted the server over that period.
And now it's dead. Teamgamer, laughably out of date eleven years later but still perfectly capable of running bot tasks, has finally given up the ghost. In that time period it ran dozens of different tasks, including its most long-lived and high-impact task, processing WP:CFDW. It made over six million edits, which I suspect is some kind of record. Its OS was updated to the latest version of Ubuntu some twenty times, never once requiring a fresh reinstall — it ran the vast majority of Ubuntu releases that have ever existed. Given how important (if gnomish) its long reign was, I figured its passing deserved some mentioning. Good-by teamgamer. I'll miss you. -- Cyde Weys 16:08, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

The move was a bit short-sighted, as "New Mexico Scenic and Historic Byways" is a legal definition, yet there are other scenic byways in the state that got swept into the category in the move. I have restored Category:Scenic highways in New Mexico with the one extant list that does not apply. This is similar to how things are set up with Category:Scenic highways in Michigan where not all Pure Michigan Byways are classified scenic and not all roadways classified scenic are part of the Pure Michigan Byway System (again, that's a legal designation).

I would like to gauge consensus for requesting a new bot to take over Cydebot's functions. My main concerns with Cydebot right now are:
My preference would be for the new bot to accept manual input when a category redirect should be created—for example, by adding leading text when a redirect is wanted, such as * REDIRECT [[:Category:Foo]] to [[:Category:Bar]]
.
Any thoughts? I would like to make sure we discuss here before going off to WP:BOTREQ. (FYI: I pinged Armbrust to see if ArmbrustBot could do it, but he prefers to keep his bot as a back-up bot.) Thanks, -- Black Falcon ( talk) 18:43, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

I think a user script for merging / moving categories should be pretty easy. I already have User:DannyS712 test/DNC bot.js for going through the pages in a category (in the selected namespace(s)) and applying a regex, so for category moving it would be replace category:A with category:B, and for merging it would be replace with category:B unless category:B is already present, in which case just remove category:A. The script would probably need to be manually triggered until I move to toolforge, but if there is interest I could try to work on one. Thoughts? -- DannyS712 ( talk) 02:13, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

It just became apparent that until now Cydebot has not been flagged as a bot at Wikidata. Its category moves should automatically update the linked Wikidata items, but if a bot appears to Wikidata to be a regular user, then it is subject to edit limits in Wikidata.
This resulted in some category changes not being updated at Wikidata when Cydebot was moving a large number of categories that contained relatively few immediate members (hence, Cydebot was making category page moves at an unusually high rate).
For more info see Wikidata Project chat.
Any other bots that move category pages will also need the bot flag at Wikidata. @ Armbrust, DannyS712, Avicennasis, and BU Rob13: please note. – Fayenatic London 20:01, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
Does anyone know how to get the contents moved over? They seem to be populated by entries on templates on each of the contents but it's extremely difficult to identify just what needs adjusting without creating a sea of red links.
More generally categories populated by template entries need to be strong resisted. They are an utter pain to rename, often requiring either deep indepth switches or substituting the template, and offer very little advantage over manual entry. Timrollpickering ( Talk) 13:16, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

01:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC)On this day, there was a proposal to rename Category:Lists of userboxes to Category:Userbox galleries for Wikipedia-wide userboxes, and Category:Userbox galleries to Category:Personal userbox galleries for personal userboxes. As an example of a textbook programming mistake, the bot first moved everything from Category:Lists of userboxes to Category:Userbox galleries, and then of course everything from Category:Userbox galleries to Category:Personal userbox galleries, so that Category:Userbox galleries became a redirect, and all userboxes, personal or not, made it to Category:Personal userbox galleries. Does anybody know an easy way to repair the damage, except for crwaling manually through the bot move logs? Thanks.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 11:00, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
It would be unrealistic to ask bots to handle all cases of categories generated by templates, but @ JJMC89: could your bot cover cases like Category:Elections in the United States by year and state to Category:Elections in the United States by year and location, where the member pages have the following line?
parent=Elections in the United States by year and state
The subcat=
parameter might also be one to update in other cases. –

I propose deprecating Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Large. While the page may or may not have served a purpose at one point, currently it seems to just fragment /Working, and force us to watch and maintain an extra page. There is no particular need to keep the /Working page "clean" of large category changes—category changes in general are not urgent, and so there is no particular need to be concerned about a large change delaying smaller ones. Thoughts? -- Black Falcon ( talk) 00:50, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Does anybody know how to fix this move? It must be written by {{ pp}}, but there is no code there, and I am not sure where the code comes from (not in the \doc either).-- Ymblanter ( talk) 16:02, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi. @ JJMC89, BrownHairedGirl, and Ymblanter: can you take a look at these? I will request page mover rights so I can perform mergers like this in the future without assistance, but for this once I need some help. Also would it be a good idea to update guidelines to allow NAC deletions where the deletion is carried out using {{ db-xfd}} like is done at WP:TFD? -- Trialpears ( talk) 14:50, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
