Outdated list edit
I would like to know that why Crew-4 is still on the list(it has already landed). Someone has tried to fix it, but his/her edit was reverted by the SpaceFactsBot. Can someone else help fix it? Timothytyy (talk) 13:49, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- The bot is automated and pulls the information from the spacefacts.de database. They don't always get around to updating their database right away, especially on the weekends. So occasionally there are delays. The actual hours in space are corrected once spacefacts.de has updated the landing information. So there are no worries about anyone getting permanent bonus flight time - but for a couple days, those astronauts could be showing some extra space flight time.

Crew 5 / Soyuz MS-23 Errors edit
SpaceFactsBot was failing to update the records since Jan 12, 2023. It appears that spacefacts.de changed the structure of their new web pages, which broke the scraping script for the new flights. Pretty sure I have it working now. However, this bot is having to accommodate more and more "exceptions" to the structure of the spacefacts.de data. Though they generally stick to their templates, there are definitely cases of manual modifications to the structure of the pages, and these in turn break the script. Eventually a more reliable / consistent data source may be required as maintaining all these "exceptions" is bloating the Bot. Andrewpullin (talk) 20:18, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
