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.—

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.—

^{Merry 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)

Hasn't been around to clerk for slightly over 12 hours, not really sure why but giving you the heads up on that.

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.—

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. :|—

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)

The bot is definitely not familiar with the AIV templates. I'll add them later today.—

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)

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.—

The low run frequency should greatly reduce the incorrect taggings.—

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.—

Alright. I have made a fix here. This should fix all the remaining erroneous taggings.—
