Those are largely false positives; the {{award table}} template serves as the beginning of a table, and thus the "|}" at the end doesn't have a corresponding opening bracket. I fixed the one parenthesis that was truly mismatched. Huon (talk) 04:03, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question:

My typo was having two parens, but the actual link has only one paren. Your bot should check the existence of the link, if it's going to give a warning.

Éclair (typeface) -- is a redlink (at the time this comment was made)
Éclair (typeface -- is a bluelink

I suggest that if the bot is finding mismatched brackets as part of the link portion of a wikilink, that if the old version is a redlink and the new version is a bluelink, then no warning should be issued.

70.24.244.158 (talk) 03:15, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: Hi, Thanks for running BracketBot - it's quite a useful tool. However, in the case reported above, I think, it made a mistake in not taking the nowiki environment into account. Can you suggest a better way to avoid such problems than using nowiki, perhaps using HTML entities? Also, the BracketBot report on my talk page was misformed as well due to nested nowiki tags (but I see that this has already been dealt with ;-) ). Hope this comment can help to further improve BracketBot. (No need for talkback notifications, I am watching this space.) Greetings, Matthiaspaul (talk) 01:51, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

The bot cannot tell whether editors accidentally or deliberately add mismatched brackets to a page, and I'm not sure the <nowiki> tag is a good indication that mismatched brackets are meant to be so. (Also, your use of that tag is unnecessary.) Huon (talk) 06:03, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes and no. There was another mismatched bracket on that page, an opening square bracket at the beginning of the preceding reference.

– Fayenatic London 20:50, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

That's not a false positive; you removed the closing bracket from the [http://web.archive.org/web/20031209164253/http://www.bible.org/docs/soapbox/2petotl.htm ''Second Peter: Introduction, Argument, and Outline''] link. Once summoned, the bot will list all mismatched brackets it finds because it isn't all that good at determining which one you caused (and arguably it screwed up here because it pointed out one that's at best marginally related). Also, people may want to fix all issues when they're at it. I have fixed what I could, but someone who can actually read Hebrew should take a look at the {{Hebrew}} template in footnote 7.

Your edit, including the mismatched bracket, was reverted by Piriczki, probably because you didn't provide any sources for the added content. For example, "which was not served well by Lange's over-dominating backing vocals" is an opinion that would definitely have to be backed up by a published third-party review - we cannot just take your word for that.

Northcenterchamber (talk) 20:20, 5 October 2013 (UTC) The single word "Northcenter" vs. the term "North Center" was only changed in the neighborhood section. While the City of Chicago lists North Center as one of 77 communities, within each of those communities are several smaller "neighborhoods." In the case of the North Center community, it's namesake neighborhood is spelled as one word, as has been since the 1920's or so as evidenced in copies of a neighborhood news paper housed in the Sultzer Public Library, and later by the chamber of commerce established in 1946.

The same problem exists for the Lake View community while the neighborhood is referred to as Lakeview.

Prior to my edit, the text in question appeared as a meaningless string of childrens' first names, separated by multiple vertical lines. After I added one curly bracket, the text in question now appears as a properly formatted table of childrens' first names, year of birth etc.

You're right; thank you for fixing that. However, there was a second mismatched bracket on the page. When you fixed one but not the other, the bot detected that afterwards there was still a mismatched bracket and assumed you were responsible. Thus it notified you. I added the missing parenthesis.

A heads up about your bot. It told me about a missing bracket in the 'Crete' section of the Battle of the Mediterranean. When I looked at the article, the problem was at the end of the list of six destroyers, not the beginning.

Regards. RASAM (talk) 16:51, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

The bot simply isn't smart enough to figure out where a bracket belongs but is missing. Thus it instead points out where a bracket is that seems to be mismatched, and leaves it to a human to determine whether that's a surplus bracket that should be removed or whether another bracket needs to be added, and if so, where.

BracketBot keeps an eye on <> because they are used for HTML tags; a mismatch there can easily break an entire article. If they're used for other purposes (including as "lesser than") produces false positives, such as here. You can either ignore that or reformat those titles without the ">".

Clearly there are no broken brackets in the text you have pasted, although you have highlighted a < (less than sign) in red - If your bot thinks every < need to be followed by a > it needs to be turned off, NOW.

Moreover, I did not edit that section, or any sections anywhere near it. The diff you provided is to my edit to the "Notable People" section, which is 6 sections below the religion graph which includes the <.

I had left a stray bracket, which I have now corrected, but your Bot needs to be able to show the correct section on an editors page, not a random, totally unconnected section, where all the brackets are correct.

Arjayay (talk) 09:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

The bot keeps an eye on <> because they're used in HTML tags, where a mismatch could easily break half the article. Also, the bot isn't all that good at determining where a bracket is missing. Here you did introduce a bracket mismatch (which you fixed yourself), but because there was another mismatched bracket on the page, BracketBot considered the wrong one "mismatched".

Page: "bracketbot detected that my edit to EADS CASA C-295 may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s."

Diff:

Comment/question: The issue is the formatting result observed for the template "|range alt=" which appeared to drop a close-parenthesis if the line already contained an embedded closed-parenthesis at the end of the line.

Example 1:
{{Aircraft specifications |range main=Range (1); |range alt=Alt Range (2) }}
Note the lack of a closed parenthesis in the example - not. Bizarre. This is NOT what I was observing in the original edit result (which follows as example 2).

Example 2:
{{Aircraft specifications |range main=Range (1); |range alt=Alt Range (2) *'''Max Range:''' Range (3) *'''Ferry Range:''' Range (4) }}
Okay, so it appears the formatting issue is caused by the non-template definition lines following the "|range alt=" definition which upon closer inspection seems to be treating them as a continuation of the "|range alt=" template definition - because it places the closed parenthesis at the end of "Range (4)," not "Alt Rage (2)." Interesting, I didn't notice that when I made the edit to the page flagged by bracketbot.

I think there needs to be a work around for this issue as I think we're always going to have some information added that may not be defined by the rigid parameters of a template (as desirable as templates may be). The easiest solution for this current issue would be perhaps to add some template definitions - in this case "|range maxload=" and perhaps "|range empty=" or "|range ferry=."

MelioraCogito (talk) 22:18, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

To be blunt, you seem to be confusing the encyclopedia with free ad space. Also, re-adding the same content over and over again while you get reverted by multiple other editors is a good way to be considered disruptive. Given that most of your past edits consisted of adding spam to the moment disambiguation page, my advice would be to abstain from editing that topic and adding links to the "moments devoted to you" website, or you will soon find yourself blocked.

There is no approval process for edits (with a few irrelevant exceptions); however, I have reverted your changes because you had removed the article's lone reliable sources and instead added a bunch of sources that were unreliable or clearly not independent and used them as the basis for quite a bit of promotional content. That's not appropriate. Also, if you edit on behalf of the subject, you should have a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest. Huon (talk) 22:06, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

User:JCHeverly 07:26, 28 October 2013 (UTC) Please keep Your bot out of my edits, specifically regarding http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marvin_Miller&action=edit&section=2#editform Thank you.User:JCHeverly 07:26, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

If you prefer not to be notified when you break wikilinks or the like, you can opt out of the notifications. I fail to see why you wouldn't want to correct your mistakes, though.

On an entirely unrelated note, the Marvin Miller article sounds rather sensationalist at times, with phrases such as "did something unheard for any professional ballplayer of that era" or "was represented by no less a figure than". Huon (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: The bot put the notification in the middle of my talk page rather than at the end, making it somewhat difficult to find. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:36, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

The bot doesn't create a new section when one for the month already exists. That was a deliberate decision to reduce the amount of bot-created sections. Huon (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Someone keeps changing the name of the creator for Supergirl. The correct artist is Al Plastino which is documented in the DC Comics Database on their website:

You should discuss that on the article's talk page. BracketBot only notified you because you forgot a bracket, thereby breaking the entire infobox. Huon (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

You should take a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest. Writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged, for reasons that have nothing to do with brackets or layout. I'll try and work on the article's layout, but it may take a few days to find the time. Huon (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: I am here because of your notification of an unmatched bracket on Description error. Thanks for a useful bot. This should help do the dog work of small fixes, thereby freeing us humans for higher level tasks. Spalding (talk) 08:58, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately the bot only notifies; it doesn't correct brackets itself. It's just not that smart. Thank you for fixing it yourself. Huon (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: I noticed an unpared right bracket at the end of the lede, so I made an edit to remove it. What did I do wrong?

Wikfr (talk) 20:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

The bracket you removed was not unpaired; there was a corresponding left bracket, which you had removed earlier. That earlier edit which led to the mismatch was what BracketBot notified you about. Huon (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
