Notification of discussion at Bot Owner's Noticeboard regarding API changes for ClueBot III and ClueBot NG

Hi Damian!

I came across a discussion at WP:BOWN this evening and noticed that ClueBot III is mentioned in a discussion. It's to do with the default continuation mode for action=query requests to api.php will be changing. The date is now set to make these changes of 2nd July and someone will need to make some changes to the bots' codings as both ClueBot NG and ClueBot III both hit the depreciation warning over 10,000 times each between 23-29 May. One of the software engineers at the WMF is now requesting that the bots are fixed.

You can find the article about it here.

You can find the discussion on the noticeboard at WP:BOWN#API BREAKING CHANGE: Default continuation mode for action=query will change at the end of this month.--5 albert square (talk) 22:37, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks https://github.com/DamianZaremba/cluebotng/commit/b3188172dd6162de74e6ef0e2586b5eb1ae0a829 + https://github.com/DamianZaremba/cluebot3/commit/68356ecf73239c75ba2b85d8dfd4398f71ab2b33 should cover things in the short term... I'll get that tested and push onto live sometime soon. - Damian Zaremba (talkcontribs) 06:52, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
No worries, wasn't sure if you would see it posted on WP:BOWN and ClueBot NG is a great anti-vandal bot so I certainly don't want it stopping! Hope you're well :)--5 albert square (talk) 09:51, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Been running for about a week now with that change, so I think things should be OK. We'll find out :) - Damian Zaremba (talkcontribs) 16:31, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
