Hitting the blacklist?

Dear Cyberpower. I notice that Cyberbot II is regularly hitting the blacklist. Would it be worth to detect that, and if it happens, to wrap the offending link in <nowiki>-tags and retry (not sure why it happens, the link is there, so you are technically not adding a new link, are you?)? --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:47, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

You might want to paste the contents here since I am no admin and have no access. :p The blacklist is a good thing because it stops a tag from surfacing if the link has already been removed during the tagging process.—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 00:38, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

I think it is a matter of looking at the result that you get back - did the page properly save or did it give an error?  Your bot is not that bad, one other bot was hitting it tens of times a minute for hours in a row .. still it 'clogs' the log a bit.  I think you can not avoid to hit it at least once, but you now hit it on every run, and obviously you will miss a correct tag on some pages.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Normally if it hits it, that means the link in question isn't on the page, meaning the tag shouldn't be there.  I'll have to see what's going on, if this is a bug or not.—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 14:26, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

That is what I thought as well .. it looks a bit curious.  This is not a big deal (unlike MadmanBot, hitting the spam blacklist continuously for hours, you just have one hit on every run it appears), still, if it can be avoided, or it signifies a problem somewhere (maybe it is even a mediawiki-bug?).  Hope to hear more.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:05, 18 December 2013 (UTC)


Cyberbot I not clerking WP:RFPP


Hasn't been around to clerk for slightly over 12 hours, not really sure why but giving you the heads up on that. tutterMouse (talk) 09:20, 17 December 2013 (UTC)



I'll have a look later today.—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 14:24, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

It got caught in an edit conflict loop.  I'll need to fix that.—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 17:47, 17 December 2013 (UTC)


 Seems to have gotten lost again, is it the same edit conflict loop issue? tutterMouse (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes it is.  Grr.  I thought I fixed that.—cyberpower Limited AccessMerry Christmas 17:37, 20 December 2013 (UTC)



Cyberbot edit war


Your CyberBot I is edit warring with Lowercase sigmabot II over sandbox header. Antideregister ● ✉ 23:06, 17 December 2013 (UTC)



On a mobile now.  Cyberbot I doesn't do the sandbox.  Are you sure you got the right bot?—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 23:17, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Sure looks like Cyberbot I is doing stuff witht he sandbox; not sure why. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 00:53, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

That's because some user switched on the sandbox task.—cyberpower OfflineMerry Christmas 03:30, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Hmm.  I wonder: maybe it's an idea to make all the enable/disable switches .js pages? That way, only you or admins could change them. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 03:50, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

I was actually wondering if they could be template protected?—cyberpower OfflineMerry Christmas 12:26, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

 Doing... Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:24, 22 December 2013 (UTC)


 Done, except the pages which are for tasks on other projects. Would you like me to do them as well? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:37, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Sure if you'd like.  The run pages haven't been particularly abused but there are probably plenty of editors who have sufficient rights to edit the run pages anyway.—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 16:35, 22 December 2013 (UTC)


CyberbotI AfD going crazy


Hey, somehow 4 AfDs that were closed back between February and 10 days ago were put back into CAT:AFD, and now your bot is edit-warring the templates back in on the one that was closed as keep, and giving me warnings for it (it's also past 3RR, but bot quirks are obviously exempt). Just wanted to let you know. Ansh666 00:21, 18 December 2013 (UTC)



Hey, C678, I guess this is how you disable the AfD task? Anyway, I disabled it until you can look into it. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 00:28, 18 December 2013 (UTC)


Hey, that's not fair! Cyberbot gives me warnings for removing AfD templates, but the admins (User:Writ Keeper and User:Ymblanter) don't get one? Discrimination!  Ansh666 00:31, 18 December 2013 (UTC)



It'll have to remain off for a while.  I've got a scary final to deal with first. :|—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 02:39, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

No problem, good luck with your final! Ansh666 04:16, 18 December 2013 (UTC)



It's seeing something that is not there and I don't know why.  I'll have to take a deeper look tomorrow.  If it causes any more issues, you are free to shut it down again.—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 23:04, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay, no worries; it re-added the tag again, so I shut down the AfD task. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 23:08, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, the bot script is bug-free.  I've run it over and over.  And I am correct in assuming that closed debates should not be in Category:AfD Debates.  For some reason, they are and I cannot find where MediaWiki is seeing the category for the page.  It could be a caching issue.  I'm going to try purging the category, and the page itself and see if that clears it.—cyberpower OnlineMerry Christmas 21:40, 21 December 2013 (UTC)


  •  Resolved  I forcibly made Wikipedia reparse the 4 pages by blanking them and reinstating it's contents.  Seems to have removed the ghost templates and tags.  I have no idea why action=purge wasn't doing it.

Most of the AfD's listed on this page are (at this time) closed, in some cases for days and in at least two cases for 9 months.  Is Cyberbot I not updating this list?

Cyberbot 1 False Positive


It appears that Cyberbot has made a false positive here. buffbills7701 16:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Another false positive at this article following an AFD closure. Mkdwtalk 03:16, 28 December 2013 (UTC)



Hmm.  Afd closed 21:55, tag removed 21:56, bot adds it back 21:57.  Looks like a case of bot operating faster than humans.  I'll look into it.—cyberpower ChatOffline 04:32, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Damn those efficient machines! No worries, I only happened to notice because an editor left me a note saying it he had to remove it a second time. Cheers, Mkdwtalk 20:26, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

So it seems. This is strange why someone mistakenly removed the AfD template on Mike Morgan. I wonder that happened. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 02:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)


Bot doesn't seem to react on RFPP


Hi Cyberpower678, your bot doesn't seem to respond to {{RFPP|aiv}} declines at WP:RFPP.  Here's its most recent archiving.  The two AIV declines should have been cleared with some earlier batches, but the bot is leaving them there and has them labeled as pending still.  Anything you can do?  Thanks! only (talk) 10:02, 28 December 2013 (UTC)



Here's it's latest run:


Andrea Brillantes: Handled 139 minutes ago
List of current National Football League stadiums: Handled, template parameter unparseable, last edit 141 minutes ago
User talk:80.112.143.48: Declined 464 minutes ago
Quezon City: Handled, template parameter unparseable, last edit 709 minutes ago
Cork Airport: Handled, template parameter unparseable, last edit 705 minutes ago
3 pending requests.
Not backlogged



It's unable to parse the templates.—cyberpower ChatOnline 12:36, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

The bot is definitely not familiar with the AIV templates.  I'll add them later today.—cyberpower ChatOnline 12:39, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into it!  only (talk) 13:56, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Bot updated.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:57, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


Cyberbot I slandering me…


Hey there.  It seems that User:Cyberbot I keeps tagging my WP:RPP reports with a message to the effect that I have been blocked.  See for example [1] and [2].  I suppose it is malfunctioning or buggy…?  I am not now blocked, nor have I ever been legitimately blocked.  (I was blocked accidentally once for a few minutes, about ten years ago, but I hardly see how that should be relevant to requesting page protection.) —Psychonaut (talk) 00:16, 29 December 2013 (UTC)



That is a bug I've been meaning to fix.  Unlink User:Beleiutz and you can safely remove the comments.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

OK, thanks for letting me know.  I'll avoid linking to blocked users for the time being. —Psychonaut (talk) 00:30, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

The bot has been updated.  It shouldn't cause anymore issues now.—cyberpower ChatOnline


Cyberbot and AfD retagging


Had a couple [3][4] in a row because it's readded the tag despite the fact that the debate was closed. (My script closes the debate then removes the tag, in that order.) Thoughts? Daniel (talk) 00:01, 30 December 2013 (UTC)



I've noticed the same error [5] [6] [7] [8]. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 00:19, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

See top thread on this page.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:23, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay... what's been done to remedy this problem? DavidLeighEllis (talk) 00:40, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I have just now remedied it by deploying this fix.  It was set to run every minute. This was causing it to pull a copy of the AfD when it was open and a few seconds later, it gets closed, the bot then looks at the page, sees no template, and adds it back.  It's supposed to run every 15 minutes.  For some reason I inadvertantly chopped the 5 off of the run frequency.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:50, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


The low run frequency should greatly reduce the incorrect taggings.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:51, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


Still broken as of now? See [9].  Sandstein  09:50, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

And [10]. I'm disabling the AfD task until this is fixed.  Sandstein  09:54, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Working on another fix in conjuction with a fatal bug fix to resolve this issue.—cyberpower ChatLimited Access 12:53, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


Alright.  I have made a fix here.  This should fix all the remaining erroneous taggings.—cyberpower ChatOnline 14:41, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

--Pratyya (Hello!) 13:31, 1 January 2014 (UTC)



Why is this one blacklisted?


I'm unfamiliar with the history of the Harbour Centre page but there' a blacklist notice at the top of it for "http://www.vancouverlookout.com/
Triggered by \bvancouverlookout\.com\b on the global blacklist".  It's for the quasi-Space Needle lookout and reference on top of this tower and I don't understand why it would be blacklisted....unless they were planting their link on lots of other Vancouver pages. It should be on this one....maybe this is another one of those knee-jerk problems with your bot, I don't know; I don't see the problem myself.Skookum1 (talk) 19:25, 1 January 2014 (UTC)



A link being blacklisted isn't Cyberpower's problem. Ask the maintainers of the blacklist. Jackmcbarn (talk) 19:47, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


Books... many thanks!









The Invisible Barnstar




All those book reports! Thanks, Cyber! Best, --Discographer (talk) 02:12, 2 January 2014 (UTC)



Thank you, but credit should go to User:Noommos and User:Headbomb since they are the original designers of the script that runs the Bookreports.—cyberpower OnlineHappy 2014 02:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


An idea


Cyberbot I notes if a protection request at WP:RFPP was marked as done, but the protection was not done. Would it be possible to ping the admin, who handled the request? Armbrust The Homunculus 03:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)



I can look into it.—cyberpower OfflineHappy 2014 03:26, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


notify the bot operator (User talk:Cyberpower678) to ensure that the bot is made aware of the changes.


Warning: The parameters used by this template are parsed by a bot. Technical 13 (talk) 03:53, 2 January 2014 (UTC)



I'll update it.  Be sure to update the documentation.—cyberpower OfflineHappy 2014 03:55, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Was already done before I notified you. Thanks for the reminder though. :) Technical 13 (talk) 04:03, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


Articles Created Tool


I know there is a known issue with the tool's speed and it gives me the top 100 results eventually,  however when i try and get the full list a large percentage of the time it hangs and gives an error. When i do this i am not always wanting to see the full list of articles, but may just want to know how many I've actually created. Would it be possible as a new feature it could give you the total number of articles you've created at the top of the list of 100 without the user having to expand and see the full list of titles. Just a suggestion rather than complaint.Blethering Scot 23:50, 2 January 2014 (UTC)



I plan to overhaul the tools at some point in the future.—cyberpower OnlineHappy 2014 23:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Cool, as i say just an idea.Blethering Scot 23:55, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


Wikipedia talk:Special:UncategorizedTemplates


Concerning the Cyberbot I admin stats, would it be possible to free Special:UncategorizedTemplates by using my new template {{Adminstats/Disallowed}} just like that please? So these templates would easily jump from one category to another, with the same dynamic message. JackPotte (talk) 21:28, 4 January 2014 (UTC)



I'll place an update.—cyberpower OnlineHappy 2014 21:44, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

PC tagging task


Hi Cyber, would you be able to have your bot wait a minute or two before it tags pages with {{pp-pc1}}. Reason is if I use Twinkle to protect it adds the protection template, but probably half the time it edit conflicts with the bot. Not a big issue and not worth a major rewrite if that's what it'd need. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 13:12, 7 January 2014 (UTC)



I keep forgetting to fix that. :p I'll try to remember to do it later.—cyberpower OfflineHappy 2014 13:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Ditto at WP:RFPP.  It causes edit conflicts if you aren't fast enough. -- John Reaves 20:23, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


Odd edits by Cyberbot II


Edits like this one are leaving the banner saying "Triggered by on the blacklist". Looks odd to me. -- John of Reading (talk) 10:45, 8 January 2014 (UTC)



I placed a minor update to it yesterday, but it should not have affected the bot that way.  I'll take a look later.—cyberpower ChatLimited Access 12:31, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

As this edit shows, what's going on is that it's editing the {{Blacklisted-links}} left by a previous pass of the bot so as to produce that odd message. Carolina wren (talk) 15:43, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

The tags have been restored to their previous state.—cyberpower ChatOffline 18:56, 10 January 2014 (UTC)


edit to Tehran


The bot placed a template on this 83 kB page, saying "Blacklisted links found." [11] Is it possible to provide some indication of just what the links are, perhaps by mentioning the domain name? Otherwise this tag seems unhelpful. —rybec 22:03, 8 January 2014 (UTC)



There was an error in the code.  Should be fixed now.—cyberpower ChatOffline 18:56, 10 January 2014 (UTC)


RFPP


Hi Cyber, not sure what's going on but the bot shouldn't be commenting that pages are already protected if they are in the requests for unprotection section. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:15, 9 January 2014 (UTC)



That section is for reducing protection, so the comment is correct.—cyberpower ChatOffline 12:33, 9 January 2014 (UTC)




I do not understand what is triggering this, or why there is no blacklisted link shown. VQuakr (talk) 00:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)



I'm looking for the problem right now.  I'm running several tests, and making sure the bot will not resume it's operations, until it's fixed.—cyberpower ChatOnline 01:02, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

The problem should be fixed now.—cyberpower ChatOffline 18:56, 10 January 2014 (UTC)


Another problem/example at Eutechnyx


Not sure if this is covered by a previous comment but at Eutechnyx the bot's made 4 changes, reverting itself three times in the process, on Dec 12, Jan 8 and an hour ago, with the same 'Updating Blacklinks' comment: [12], [13], [14], [15].--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 17:46, 10 January 2014 (UTC)



There was a logic error in the code.  It should be fixing itself now.—cyberpower ChatLimited Access 17:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

It should be fixed now.—cyberpower ChatOffline 18:56, 10 January 2014 (UTC)


Cyberbot I @ RFPP


Hey, would it be possible to add a slight delay to Cyberbot I's clerking at RFPP (this is what I'm talking about). I've conflicted with the bot on the past two RFPP reports that I've answered - a minute between protection and clerking is a little too fast, I think. I'm quick, but not that quick. Thanks. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:54, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

This article was tagged today[16] although I'd removed the link 2 days ago. Why is that? Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 09:46, 13 January 2014 (UTC)



Yea, I know, I fixed the blank tags bug and introduced another one. :/  It should go away on it's own though.  I'll have to fix it later today, once I'm done college today.—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:32, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Sum of bytes in the edit counter


In the German Wikipedia we had the idea of adding "average" and "sum of bytes changed" lines to X!'s Edit Counter. Is this possible? Do you know an other tool that can do this? Sorry if this post doesn't belong here. Feel free to move it. --TMg 12:52, 13 January 2014 (UTC)



Cyberbot II re-tagged a page with a recently white-listed link


This was erroneously retagged by Cyberbot II at 02:37, 13 January 2014 after being whitelisted here at 15:19, 11 January 2014. - Wbm1058 (talk) 20:21, 13 January 2014 (UTC)






The bot has been repeatedly tagging articles with no blacklisted links (I've just reverted a third tagging of Iranian Assembly of Experts election, 2006). Is there a problem? Number 57 17:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)



I've placed this patch after last nights run.  If it continues to do it after now, please let me know, and shut down the bot on it's run page.—cyberpower ChatOffline 18:02, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Cheers, will do. Number 57 19:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)


Subhas Chandra Bose


Cyberbot II has just removed a protection template from this article giving the reason as "article not protected". This happened within a minute of Mark Arsten (admin) semi protecting the article. You might want to look at this. Britmax (talk) 12:01, 19 January 2014 (UTC)



He reset pending changes protection and the bot removed the respective template from the page.  No malfunction here.—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:11, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for that, Britmax (talk) 09:10, 20 January 2014 (UTC)


it happened again


Cyberbot I seems to have choked over at RFPP for no reason, figure some of the markup changed again. Go have a look-see. tutterMouse (talk) 08:10, 20 January 2014 (UTC)



This would've been something for BracketBot. :p.  I need to fix that error.—cyberpower ChatOnline 11:03, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Seems so obvious, can't believe I missed it. Is a bit weird it'd stop due to three curly brackets instead of two. tutterMouse (talk) 12:12, 20 January 2014 (UTC)


Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Judge Pal: International Military Tribunal for the Far East and Indian nationalism


Technically, the article was in fact listed on the appropriate log page. The deletion debate was originally located at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/''Judge Pal: International Military Tribunal for the Far East and Indian nationalism''; since the article Judge Pal: International Military Tribunal for the Far East and Indian nationalism already existed, I have moved the debate to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Judge Pal: International Military Tribunal for the Far East and Indian nationalism, corrected the article name in the debate, and redirected ''Judge Pal: International Military Tribunal for the Far East and Indian nationalism'' to Judge Pal: International Military Tribunal for the Far East and Indian nationalism. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2014 (UTC)



For the sake of keeping post the post on this page, I will have a look at some point.  RL is currently in the way.—cyberpower ChatOffline 19:10, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

It's very possible the redirect might be causing the issue.  Try deleting the AFD redirect.—cyberpower ChatAbsent 15:03, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


Bot is reflagging AfD for, God help us, "transclusion" failure


User:cyberbot I re-flagged this AfD, despite having been corrected the first time by User:Bearcat, who seems to know his business. What's going on? --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:54, 22 January 2014 (UTC)



I've already asked about this at the Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 122#AFD page; apparently what happened is that I created the page slightly after midnight UTC on December 16 (evening of December 15 my time), but because the cache hadn't flushed over yet the final step (transcluding it into a daylog) took me to the daylog for December 15 — so what's happening is that the bot keeps detecting it as "not transcluded" because it isn't transcluded in the daylog for the same day as its datestamp. That said, even though there's a rational explanation it's still not something that should be happening at all. Is there a potential solution of some kind here? Bearcat (talk) 03:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)


Bearcat meant January 16 and 15. User:Cyberbot I/Status has not been updated since January 16 so User:cyberbot I says the bot is down, but it's still running. Could this be related to the AfD issue? PrimeHunter (talk) 13:29, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

PrimeHunter, as far as I can tell, the bot has not updated the RfA and RfB vote counts since January 23 began.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:00, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
