Archive for May 2009Your archiving botsPer WP:ARCHIVE, it suggests placing {{talkarchive}} to both the top and the bottom of the archive. Could it be possible for your bots to do this automatically? The Windler talk 12:52, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
/dev/nullPlease stop removing messages entirely. If something's wrong with the archiving code, then don't archive, but you are presumably not authorized to remove messages without archiving. --NE2 14:31, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
So, Misza13, are you going to change anything? --NE2 12:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
will this work?The talk on Template talk:2009 swine flu outbreak table is split into two sections - the main page and Template talk:2009 swine flu outbreak table/Region specific discussions. Ideally, I'd like the archives to one place. I had cluebot set up, but it refused to archive the subpage either to the main archive or to a special archive for that page. As such, I am trying out MiszaBot instead. My question is will this work as intended on the subpage: {{User:MiszaBot/config |algo = old(48h) |archive = Template talk:2009 swine flu outbreak table/Archive %(counter)d |counter = 1 |maxarchivesize = 200K }} Thanks for your time, --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:03, 2 May 2009 (UTC) Key for the archivebotHey Misza,
I've registered a sock account for making certain types of edits at certain types of computers (User:Fox) and I would like to be able to archive posts on the sock's talk page (User talk:Fox) to my own archives (subpages of User:Foxy Loxy) so that I can keep things all in the same place.
So; I can haz bot key? Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_StationsThe first section of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations is not being archived. Any idea why? Vegaswikian (talk) 17:52, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
User talk:Ukexpat not archiving?It looks like the bot hasn't archived my talk page for a few days. Is there I problem at my end? Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 20:43, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Category rename
Together with User:Rich Farmbrough we are doing a little standarisation. In connection with this we would like to rename all dated categories in Category:Wikipedia files with unknown source from "as of" to "from". This might make working with files tagged before 24 May 2009 a little more complicated as they might show up in any of the two categories if the file was tagged by transclusion in stead of substitution, but that should be a matter of two weeks at most, while files tagges from 24 May 2009 onwards will be in the new category. You might want to reflect this on User:MiszaBot/Trackers/CAT:NS. Please contact me on my talkpage if any problems. Thanks, Debresser (talk) 19:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Carnildo reverted the edit because of the OrphanBot he runs. Please see User_talk:Rich_Farmbrough#Di-no_source for the discussion if and how to do this. Debresser (talk) 22:48, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
MiszaBot on other wikis
I've seen MiszaBot doing archiving over at meta, and it seems it's chugging away on a few other projects as well. Would it be possible for you to get it running over at mediawiki.org?? One doesn't realise how amazingly valuable auto-archiving bots are until you go somewhere where there aren't any :D Happy‑melon 21:59, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Assuming it works, of course... if not I'll take it away :D Happy‑melon 16:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC) |
Looks good! One thing more: the Support desk archives are, I've just learnt, not subpages of the respective desk pages, they're in a separate tree. IIRC MiszaBot usually demands a special key to allow archives to be not subpages; is it possible to disable this for mediawiki.org? If not, can we have a batch of keys please?

- Actually, someone has just pointed out a bug: in this diff, at the section marked "line 382", the bot removes a section defined inside
<pre>...</pre>
tags, removing the header, some of the content of the tag, the closing</pre>
, and the rest of the actual thread. Presumably that's not a mw.org-specific bug, but general. Thanks, Happy‑melon 10:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)- Yes, I know. It's an uncommon bug caused by the fact that the bot does not have a true wikitext parser (I don't know if one even exists, except the one built into MediaWiki). Replacing the equal signs (even only the first one) with their equivalen HTML entities should do the trick in those cases.
- Also, I have provided security keys for pages on mw.org. Миша13 20:42, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Bot not archiving a thread
It seems that MiszaBot III is missing a thread on my talk page. Is it because of the periods that Rich Farmbrough used at the end of his signature?--Rockfang (talk) 00:57, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
