HBC AIV helperbot5 malfunctioning

HBC AIV helperbot5 has ceased editing WP:AIV at around 00:15 UTC today. As you may know, this task is tedious done manually, so it would be appreciated if this could be fixed ASAP. Thanks, Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 02:20, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Looking into this now. Thank you for the notification. — JamesR (talk) 02:44, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
I've just restarted the bot and will continue to monitor. — JamesR (talk) 02:59, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Broken again - hasn't edited since ~05:15 utc. Galobtter (pingó mió) 09:21, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Looking. — JamesR (talk) 10:13, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
It looks to be working again now, I have had to move the bot off Tool Labs until I get some time to troubleshoot further. — JamesR (talk) 12:03, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Down again. Last edit at 19:58 Feb 28th. Zinnober9 (talk) 06:47, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
It's become self-aware and has stopped doing its work. —RainFall 07:01, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
We're back again, apologies. I have moved it to a new home. — JamesR (talk) 07:14, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

HBC AIV helperbot5 feature request

Hi JamesR,

I don't remember whether I have requested this before, and whether this is the best place. Anyway, it would be nice if HBC AIV helperbot5 could remove not just blocked accounts, but also globally locked ones. See [1] for an example. These reports just clog the board and do not need any action. Is that feasible? Thank you and happy editing, —Kusma (t·c) 15:07, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Kusma, I'll definitely take a look at adding this. — JamesR (talk) 07:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

HBC AIV helperbot5 malfunctioning?

AIV Helperbot hasn't edited WP:UAA since 12:53, and I noticed that some editors who have been reported to the board have been blocked, but the posts have not been removed, for example, I reported InstantPrint at 14:37, it was blocked by RHaworth at 14:49, but the report has not been removed yet. It is normally quicker than this, so may be malfunctioning? Agent00x (talk) 15:16, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

It is removing reports from AIV, so seems to be just UAA affected. Agent00x (talk) 15:17, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
It woke up :) I assume you gave it a kick, ta. Agent00x (talk) 15:24, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – March 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • A new tool is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.

Arbitration

  • The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
    • paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive paid editing.
    • checkuser-en-wp@wikipedia.org has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.

Trivial bot request

Could you have the bot say {{admin backlog|bot=HBC AIV helperbot5}} instead of just {{Admin backlog}} when adding an admin backlog template to AIV? Currently it says "please change this notice when the backlog is cleared", when in fact the notice will be dealt with automaticall by the bot. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 18:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

@Pppery:  Done, thank you for the feature request! — JamesR (talk) 11:41, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

bot malfunctioning?

Hi James, sorry to disturb you again, I think the bot stopped working about an hour and a half ago, no edits to AIV or UAA, and users have been blocked on those lists. Ta. Agent00x (talk) 12:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
