Eleven Years of Editing!

Bot is archiving talk pages

Please see this edit. Why is your bot archiving personal talk pages? I would prefer to choose what gets archived from my talk pages. In the case of these threads, I did not want them archived, and have reverted the edit. This has never happened on my talk page before. — Maile (talk) 10:25, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Maile66: Because the page has

{{User:MiszaBot/config
|archiveheader = {{aan}}
|maxarchivesize = 125K
|counter = 10
|minthreadsleft = 0
|algo = old(420d)
|archive = User talk:Maile66/Archive %(counter)d
}}

which has been there (apart from different values for |counter=, |algo= and |archive=) since this edit by yourself, more than five and a half years ago. It has happened on your talk page before, several times - for example, 5 May 2020; 24 September 2016; 21 February 2016 and others.

Tip: if you don't want your page to be archived by a bot, don't set it up for bot archiving. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:52, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! I have removed the bot archiving stuff. — Maile (talk) 19:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Question about a Tool

I have a question about a tool you created. Normally I can see all the pages I created under https://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/created.py?name=Zaschid&server=dewiki&ns=,,&redirects=none&deleted=undeleted but my article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Henry_Dorman is not listed on the page. Do you have any idea what the reason for that might be? Thanks in advance Zaschid (talk) 07:14, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

It was created in 2006 by a different user https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maurice_Henry_Dorman&oldid=201362134 →Σσς. (Sigma) 10:19, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

But the majority of my other articles are also just translations of existing articles. Why does it show those then? Zaschid (talk) 11:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Very helpful tool

This is a very helpful tool! I’m so glad that we have it here at Wikipedia. Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 19:24, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks 🥰 →Σσς. (Sigma) 00:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Edit summary search broken

As you know, at the bottom of Special:Contributions/Redrose64 there is a link thus: Edit summary search. When I try this, it redirects to https://sigma.toolforge.org/summary.py?name=Redrose64 and throws a HTTP 404 with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/data/project/sigma/www/python/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 628, in respond
    self._do_respond(path_info)
  File "/data/project/sigma/www/python/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 687, in _do_respond
    response.body = self.handler()
  File "/data/project/sigma/www/python/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/cherrypy/lib/encoding.py", line 219, in __call__
    self.body = self.oldhandler(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/data/project/sigma/www/python/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/cherrypy/_cperror.py", line 414, in __call__
    raise self
cherrypy._cperror.NotFound: (404, "The path '/sigmary.py' was not found.")

Is this something that you can fix, or does it require Toolforge devs? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

@Redrose64: It's out of my jurisdiction. @Legoktm: Any idea? →Σσς. (Sigma) 00:29, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Σ, you need to remove all the manual hardcoding of /sigma from everywhere. I did a little bit, enough to get the summary.py tool working again, but more cleanup is needed. Using the Python k8s webservice and proper helpers like flask's url_for (I don't know what the cherrypy equivalent is) would have avoided this in the first place for what its worth. Legoktm (talk) 01:25, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Fixed it thanks →Σσς. (Sigma) 02:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Looks like Lowercase sigmabot III is broken

It has been nearly 72 hours since Lowercase sigmabot III's last edit. What's up with that? NedFausa (talk) 00:28, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

NedFausa, I just pinged Sigma on IRC. We might have answers soon. I dream of horses (talk page) (Contribs) Remember to notify me after replying off my talk page. 03:18, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

I've fixed the issue - an oversight from the migration to https://sigma.toolforge.org - and I have manually initiated an archive run. FYI please email me directly about this kind of thing in the future, it's the only way to guarantee that I read your message. I don't check my talk page or IRC on a regular basis; IDoH just caught me as I logged onto IRC by sheer coincidence. →Σσς. (Sigma) 03:39, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
