Q. Why did you remove my requested move pages!?

I requested for several pages to be moved to a page and yet you removed it!!! Why?

A. Did you read the text at the top of the edit window for Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions?

Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed.
To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page.

Do NOT edit this page!

Attention! This page is automatically maintained by a bot. Your edits will not persist and will be overwritten.

To add a page to the list, follow the instructions here.
To comment, reply, or vote on a page-move request listed here, click its (Discuss) link to go to the relevant section of the article's talk page.
To delist a page, go to the article's talk page and remove the {{Requested move/dated}} template.

You cannot move (rename) seven different articles to the same title. Please read Wikipedia:Merging, which is about copying ("moving") content. – regards, RMCD bot (talk)

Q. Why don't you run this on the Cluster?

A. I invested about a month into figuring out how to run this on my Windows machine. It wasn't easy to figure out all the details. It would probably take me another month to figure out how to run it on "the cluster" and I have more important things to do than transfer a working process from one platform to another. I seem to recall there have been times when all the bots on the "cluster" were down, but my bots were still cooking. I'm not the only one who's questioned WMF Labs Toolforge reliability either.

Followup: I'm working on this now. See User talk:wbm1058/Creating bots § About the bots. – wbm1058 (talk) 18:06, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
