AnomieBOT
Anomie is still around, mostly to maintain AnomieBOT. But after the WMF proved that office politics are more important to them than seemingly anything else, and otherwise generally seem more concerned with their own image than substance, Anomie is not engaging in technical work on MediaWiki. |
Despite T360488 asking them not to, Toolforge admins have gone ahead and broken AnomieBOT's scripts. Keeping things running properly will likely require manual intervention until they fix that or give me a usable workaround. |
Live status for all AnomieBOT tasks is available at Toolforge. |
Thank you. |

Restart needed edit
https://iw.toolforge.org/anomiebot is showing most tasks as "pod missing". * Pppery * it has begun... 17:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- I also noticed that User:AnomieBOT III/Broken redirects hasn't updated since about 02:00 UTC February 6th. Liz Read! Talk! 20:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Editor-hostile wikitext edit
In this edit, in addition to the useful work (correcting the template name), the bot for no reason also removed all the spaces between the template parameters, which has turned "editor-friendly wikitext" into " editor-hostile wikitext". Please adjust the bot behavior to avoid removing such spaces. — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 19:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- This is the fault of whoever coded {{site web}} -> {{cite web.}} -> Module:Unsubst -> Module:Template invocation, not the bot. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- OK, then the problem is apparently in the Module:Template invocation output. I'll ask there... — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 20:45, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi all, does anyone know why the bot hasn't started archiving from here please? I've edited the code so it mirrors Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Botswana, which does archive, but the closed discussions are still lingering. Can anyone see something that I can't that's causing it not to happen? Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Did you add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Compact? Anomie⚔ 12:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- I had no idea that that would be what the bot works off. Thanks! Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 17:54, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Anomie,
AnomieBOT III should have updated the broken redirect pages but it hasn't in 9 hours. Could you "restart" it? Many thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 18:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Fixing url-inside-ref syntax instead of removing it edit
Thank you for your work. It would be helpful if the bot could fix this syntax <ref https://www.swr.de/sport/mehr-sport/leichtathletik/swr-sporthelden-2023-kugelstossen-yemisi-ogunleye-100.html />
as in Special:Diff/1211521503 instead of removing it altogether. Because the original edit was P&G-compliant if not technically correct, but then the bot removed the URL which in effect introduced unsourced statements to a BLP. An easy fix would be to convert it to a bare-url reference that can be filled later. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 14:40, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'll try to look into it when I have a chance. Meanwhile, if someone could determine whether that is a unique mistake or if different editors commonly do that rather than the correct syntax, that would be useful for my prioritization. Anomie⚔ 06:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- It is more unique than common, if last January's "AnomieBOT can't manage to do orphaned refs right" thread at BOTN was any indication (i.e. we would have seen it then as well). Primefac (talk) 08:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Why is the link to a linkedin page an unreliable source? I assume a website could be like that - but on the other hand a website should be a good source of information and confirmation of data. Could I remove the comment in the bio I prepared? thanks Lemonidess (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- This is the user talk page for a bot. All AnomieBOT did was add a date to a tag added by some human. If you're referring to Przemysław Krych, that addition was in Special:Diff/1212040660 so you should go ask at User talk:Theroadislong. Anomie⚔ 19:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Protection of article edit
Asking for protection of the article Paola Cortellesi from non registered recidive vandal who also admitted they are doing it for personal ideological and political beliefs and keeps causing disruption. 151.38.224.195 (talk) 20:14, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) AnomieBOT does not protect pages. You should file a request at WP:RFPP. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:42, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
