There is something wrong in appearance, pls help to correct it.--Tranletuhan (talk) 02:15, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

User:ClueBot VI thinks the targets weren't notified...

...but they were? [1] [2] –xeno^talk 14:09, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

...and MIA again. –xeno^talk 15:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Will the bot be returning to work? –xeno^talk 13:10, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Based on your reduced activity levels, should we seek a replacement for VI? –xeno^talk 13:34, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Archives

I want your bot to archive my talk page, each archive 50 posts each, can you make it do that. Thanks Secret ^account 22:12, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Feedback on pending changes for bots

I would appreciate your input at User:Terra Novus/Pending Changes Compromise. My latest proposal extends to bots and I'd like to know how much utility you see in such an idea. Thanks. —UncleDouggie (talk) 02:59, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

A page which ClueBot III isn't archiving

Why doesn't ClueBot III archive Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:50, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't think archiving will work on this sort of page because the false positive reports are all grouped under Level 3 headers, so to a bot, they appear to be just one long continuous discussion that never gets "old". While we could manually add L2 headers to each false positive report, doing so would be more work than just archiving the page manually when it gets too big. —Soap— 23:08, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Any reason not to simply use L2 headers? (P.S. Set the headerlevel param to "3" if you decide not to.) –xeno^talk 23:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

There was a reason for why we're using Level 3 headers, but I dont remember what it was. I think it may be nothing more than the fact that a page with 100+ full-width section headers on it and only a few lines under each of them is seen as relatively unattractive. As to the other question, it seems ClueBot is already set to "level = 3", so that can't be the reason for why it's not archiving. Could it be something to do with the fact that the reports are transcluded onto Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives via a subpage instead of being placed there directly? —Soap— 00:31, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I made that mistake when I first looked at it, too. The correct parameter is "headerlevel", not "level". I have fixed this. -- Cobi^(t|c|b) 06:44, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

User talk:Cobi/Archives/2010/September#User:ClueBot VI thinks the targets weren't notified...

Have you made any headway into the above-linked bug report? See [3]. Perhaps the changes to the usurpation requested template are causing the error? –xeno^talk 13:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

For the Wikiwind account, there was no signature. The bot detects a note left by looking for the signature of the person who should have left it (the requestor). For the other one, the page was blank when the bot looked at it (check history). -- Cobi^(t|c|b) 21:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Can't you have it look for the hidden comment <!-- Template:Usurpation requested -->? Sometimes targets are notified by other-than-the-requestor. –xeno^talk 13:33, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

At 19:18 bot thinks note wasn't left, it was left at 19:00 prior to usurp request being filed? –xeno^talk 17:28, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

ClueBot VI archiving to wrong place?

What happened to ClueBot?

I've noticed that ClueBot hasn't been reverting vandalism recently. Is something wrong? Oh and i know that i used to vndalize, but i have only been contributing and not vandalizing.--The Lord of the Allosaurs (talk) 23:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
