I reported a false positive (not working) and collapsed this warning. _signed, Willondon (talk) 15:56, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

ouch. I may have bumped upon the first mistake by ClueBot NG ever.... the edit was indeed constructive. and eye-opening in my mind. Also, the link provided for reporting is broken. Alasdair Wodehouse (talk) 15:28, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

It's rare, but I've seen false positives before; first time I've seen the report link not work, though. I had a look at your edit, but didn't restore it because (1) it had no source; (2) the tone was more tutorial than Wikipedia articles aim to be. _signed, Willondon (talk) 15:56, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hiya. I was indeed a bit surprised, as this was my first edit. Glad to hear it has been spotted as false positive. I am hoping to come back and contribute, starting with this (cute) example. I shall search for a proper source, and edit the tone as proposed. cheers. Alasdair Wodehouse (talk) 09:59, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
