DYKHousekeepingBot down?

Shubinator, DYKHousekeepingBot ran at midnight on the nose, at which point it updated June 23 so it now became pink. However, it did not run at 00:30, even though July 1 had been added to the Nominations page at 00:02. There haven't been any other transactions in the over six hours since, but the bot should have picked up on the addition of July 1. Can you please check to see what's up, and that both bots are still running? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:33, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Looks like the bot recovered on its own! Shubinator (talk) 04:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes, and not long after I posted here. I guess it wanted me to complain and then look silly...
Do you think you could make me another list of those noms that never got transcluded. It's probably time to clean them up. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:47, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Heh, the bot was a couple months off for an April Fools prank. Untranscluded noms:
Shubinator (talk) 19:55, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Belated thanks, Shubinator. Rather more than I was expecting, but glad to know about them. Six have been closed or been given speedy deletion noms; I'm waiting to hear back on the remaining four. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:19, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

August untranscluded DYK nominations list

Shubinator, when you have a minute, I would very much appreciate getting a new list of untranscluded nominations. Thanks as always! BlueMoonset (talk) 15:53, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Sure thing! Wow time flies. Untranscluded noms:
Shubinator (talk) 18:15, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
All taken care of. Thank you so much, Shubinator. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Re:Incomplete DYK nomination

Thank you for the kind reminder. I appreciate it. With regards, AnupamTalk 14:10, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Glad it helped! Shubinator (talk) 00:32, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

DYKUpdateBot didn't run; DYKHousekeepingBot still does

Shubinator, DYKUpdateBot missed the midnight update of the main page, so the bot probably needs to be restarted. DYKHousekeepingBot, on the other hand, ran at 00:07, 26 August 2020, so it appears to be fine. I'm going to see about getting someone to do a manual update. Thanks for whatever you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Back online, thanks for letting me know! No clues in the logs as to what happened. Shubinator (talk) 04:08, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for taking care of it! I think there was some kind of general server outage at midnight for a couple of minutes; MusikBot, which also starts one of its runs at 00:00 (it updates the DYK Nominations page at that time), did not run tonight either; I had to do a manual update to add August 26 to the page (which in turn caused DYKHousekeepingBot to run at 01:07). BlueMoonset (talk) 04:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

DYKHousekeepingBot appears to be down

Shubinator, DYKHousekeepingBot last ran at 16:57, 2 September 2020 (UTC), or a bit over 12 hours ago. There have been new nominations and newly passed nominations that should have caused the bot to run, but none of them did, including the beginning of September 3. Can you please take a look and stir it back into life? It could be that there's some kind of problem in one of the nominations that is causing the bot to stop, but there wasn't an obvious unclosed "small" tag, which is the typical non-bot-dying reason. Many thanks for taking care of this. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:11, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Necromanced DYKHousekeepingBot back to life :) No obvious reason in the logs as to why the bot's process died. Thanks for letting me know! Shubinator (talk) 20:00, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
You're welcome. Thanks for the necromancing! It's good to have an up-to-date list. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:25, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

September untranscluded DYK nominations list

Shubinator, it's been another month, so I was hoping you could produce a new list of untranscluded nominations. Many thanks as always. Hope all is well with you. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:07, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Sure! Untranscluded noms:
Shubinator (talk) 21:06, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Shubinator. I appreciate it. Three are already closed; the fourth has a query into the nominator, since the article is only 1052 prose characters at the moment, so even if it is transcluded, there's work to be done. I'll be back for a new list in mid-October. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:10, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

DYKHousekeepingBot seems to be down, as does DYKUpdateBot

Shubinator, DYKHousekeepingBot has not done an update since 15:15, but there has been a new nomination (15:49) and two nominations have been approved (17:05 and 17:22). I didn't see anything obvious that would be causing a problem in the new nomination. Please check, and if the bot is still down when you see this, get it moving again. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:46, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Alas, DYKUpdateBot did not do the midnight update, so it must be down as well. Please restart this one as well. Thank you! BlueMoonset (talk) 03:15, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Just so you know, we have been doing manual updates, and one has already been done for midnight, meaning the next one will take place around 12:10. Fingers crossed that you poke your head in during the next several hours and get both bots up and running again. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Both bots back online, sorry for the delay! The one day I don't check is of course the day it breaks. Shubinator (talk) 05:01, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
That's always how it goes, isn't it? Do you have a typical time you check each day, or is it random depending on when you have a spare moment? I always wonder whether I've posted here after your typical look-in time, or if I have a good chance of catching you within a few hours. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:04, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Weekends are more random, weekdays it's usually ~04:00 UTC or a bit later. Shubinator (talk) 04:18, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

October untranscluded DYK nominations list

Shubinator, it's been over five weeks since the last time I asked for a list—where has the time gone?—and I was hoping you could run a new one. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:39, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Sure! Happy Halloween :) Untranscluded noms:
Shubinator (talk) 04:24, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you very much, Shubinator. The first three are closed; the fourth, since it involves an online course that's supposed to finish its Wikipedia work this week, I thought I'd leave for a bit to see if anything happens with it. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:49, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

DYKUpdateBot is off by one day

Hello, Shubinator. Thank you so much for maintaining DYKUpdateBot. It seems that the bot has an off-by-one error. See a recent example: Special:Diff/987497916, where "3 November" was used instead of the correct "4 November]]. More examples: Special:Diff/987498350. —⁠andrybak (talk) 12:53, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the bug report! For the first example, it looks like the article was placed on the Main Page on November 3: Special:Diff/986858103. And similarly with the second example, the article was placed on the Main Page on November 6: Special:Diff/987343036. The date situation is a bit confusing - the article's talk page lists the date the article was placed on the Main Page, the archives reflect the date the article left the Main Page. So it's expected that they'll be different at times. Shubinator (talk) 19:23, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Oh... This is indeed confusing. Such an archive does not seem very useful. I guess DYK folks should be consulted on this matter. —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:49, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

November untranscluded DYK nominations list

Shubinator, I hope all is well with you. It's again been over five weeks—do you think you could get me a new list of the currently untranscluded noms? One of them will likely be left over from last time (I've been promised that it will be transcluded soon), but the rest should be new. Many thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 05:13, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Sure thing, here you go! Untranscluded noms:
Shubinator (talk) 02:42, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Holy Toledo! That's the longest list I've ever seen! Guess I'd better get started... BlueMoonset (talk) 00:14, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

End-of-year untranscluded nominations list

Shubinator, now that all the classes are done for the year, and the previous enormous list has finally been taken care of in its entirety, I was hoping you could run a new list including all the remaining untranscluded 2020 DYK nominations.

Thanks for all the lists and other things you do for DYK, and my best wishes for a safe, healthy, and happy new year. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Happy New Year! It's a bit surreal to think I've been an admin for a decade+, and DYKUpdateBot has been operating a decade. It takes a village - wouldn't be possible without you and the rest of the DYK community.
Untranscluded noms:
Shubinator (talk) 17:25, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks again, Shubinator. Congrats on your more-than-a-decade as admin, and DYKUpdateBot's tenth anniversary. I haven't been around quite that long: my decade arrives in late March.
I'm happy to report that all eight of this new batch have been taken care of: one was ultimately trancluded, one was closed, and the rest nominated for speedy deletion because they were incomplete and/or ineligible for DYK. See you again in February! BlueMoonset (talk) 17:09, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
