RM disappeared from Backlog with no action, did RMbot remove it by mistake?
RM bot looks like it had problems at 05:00 9 MARCH 2011.
The following RM had been on the bottom of the backlog for the last 30 days ...
- Discuss) — Need to return this article back to it's original name of Podlaskie Voivodeship (1513–1795). This is an argument that had beed resolved in 2008 concerning the mis-use of a Latin derivation instead of using the Polish derivation. See discussion surrounding Talk:Podlaskie_Voivodeship. Ajh1492 (talk) 17:41, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
It was there at 04:16 9 MAR 2011 Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Current_discussions_(alt)&oldid=417903003 but is gone at Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Current_discussions_(alt)&oldid=417910625. It looks like RM Bot was down for the 05:00 run.
It looks like it was restored, but added to the FRONT of the work queue. We've been waiting for a month for the request to clear the backlog, now because the BOT failed, we get sent to the back of the line. Ajh1492 (talk) 16:31, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- The Podlachian Voivodeship (1513–1795) move is now in Wikipedia:Requested moves#March 9, 2011. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:13, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- But is was originally submitted on 7 February 2011 but was deleted by the RM Bot this morning without any action being taken. So now we get to sit in the backlog for ANOTHER 30 days. Ajh1492 (talk) 20:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- It was moved up to 9 March 2011 because of Orlady's relisting; Orlady gave the move request a new timestamp and the first timestamp after the tag is what the bot goes by. This is a deliberate measure to bump discussions up higher on the list if they've been stagnant and need more attention. harej 03:08, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Can the bot not retransclude reviews that are untranscluded
If we don't want the GA review transcluded on the talk page (hence the existence of subpages, and not posting the review on the talk page), the bot shouldn't come back and revert the removal of the transcluded GA review. Thank you. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 18:51, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- While it's effectively a reversion, I'd like to point out the bot is genuinely naive and thinks the review was not posted before. I'll see if I can fix this. harej 03:36, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

GANbot
Hi, I have Bicycle helmet laws under review at Talk:Bicycle helmet laws/GA1 but the bot doesn't seem to be picking this up.[1] Jezhotwells (talk) 00:19, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- I moved the GAN template to the top of the talk page and it seems to have fixed it! I belie that the {{WAP assignment}} template was causing the problem. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:40, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Mandingo
Hi, I noticed that you have the ability to move the protected Mandingo (pornographic actor) article. Could you please move it to Mandingo (person)? Given the fact that he also directs and is the only person with this name, I think it would be appropriate. I've been doing this move with several pornographic actor articles because its somewhat more humanizing as well. Thank you. Asarelah (talk) 19:26, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- I've never really seen (person) used as a disambiguator. Would (actor) work? While it doesn't entirely encapsulate what he does, it is more humanizing as you would say. harej 23:59, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm more in favor of (person) as a disambig, especially since Mandingo isn't merely an actor but a director as well, so (person) is more encompassing. Furthermore, I've also already used the (person) disambig on other pornographic actors whenever possible, such as in the cases of ) 00:16, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Bot down?
The bot appears to be down again. Also you may want to look at the extra entries from Kraft Dinner caused by the RFC tag. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:40, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Removal Of Expired RFC Tag
I think there is a misunderstanding.
The rfc was not expired, the discussion was started in January. An rfc was never filed.
Could your revert your last edit?Curb Chain (talk) 11:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- RFCs are based on the timestamp of the first comment in the discussion. If you want to start an RFC on an existing discussion, I suggest creating a subsection of that discussion called "RFC" or something similar so that there's a clear difference between before you asked for outside opinions and after. harej 17:31, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
MfD Relists
Right now the bot always lists nominations under the date header of when they were originally posted, but when it is relisted, shouldn't it be listed under the relist date? I tried manually moving the nomination, but of course the bot just undid the change. I'm just asking because if the way it is currently was previously discussed, or makes more sense for whatever reason, then there are references on the MfD page that should be changed. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 16:42, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- How did you relist? Did you sign "Relisted ~~~~" above the nomination statement? harej 17:18, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't actually relist it, but yesterday I tried moving ) 17:25, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- Right, I can see the problem. The bot decides on where to list the page by the first timestamp in the MFD; i.e., the timestamp on the nomination. Unless you put something like "Relisted ~~~~" before the nomination statement, it's going to stay in the same section. harej 17:29, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- Is there a way it could look for the relisted statement, or are you saying the instructions should be modified to tell people to add a relisted time stamp at the top? MrKIA11 (talk) 17:47, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm surprised the instructions haven't been updated to reflect the best practice. Yes, I think the instructions should be modified there. harej 17:55, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll take care of it sometime. I've never seen a template or guideline for putting a relist date at the top of a discussion for any XfD, so I'll probably start a discussion at ) 18:04, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Apparently some editors already know to put the relist date at the top. It was just a coincidence the day that I tried moving them. MrKIA11 (talk) 23:03, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

GA bot and signatures
Just curious: how does the GA bot know all the nominators' signatures? Does it have access behind the scenes to everyone's signature on Special:Preferences? --Deryck C. 21:54, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- That'd be frightening if it did. If you go to the talk page of each nominated article, you'll see in the good article nomination template is the nominator's signature. harej 05:19, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
DC Meetup: May 7 @ Tenleytown Library
The next DC Wikimedia meetup is scheduled for Saturday, May 7, 3:30-5:30 pm at the Tenleytown Library (adjacent to the Tenleytown Metro Station, Red Line), followed by dinner & socializing at some nearby place.
This is the first official meeting of our proposed Wikimedia DC chapter, with discussion of bylaws and next steps. Other agenda items include, update everyone on our successful Wikimania bid and next steps in the planning process, discuss upcoming activities that we want to do over the summer and fall, and more.
Please RSVP here and see a list of additional tentatively planned meetups & activities for late May & June on the Wikipedia:Meetup/DC page.

RM Bot does not recognize move request
RM Bot did not recognize this after 7 hours or this after 20 minutes. (Yes, I know the move is ill-advised, and it is not the best way anyway for the desired move. But I don’t see why the bot should not recognize it. It's not my move request: I am responding to a post at the Help desk.

Bad bot edit
this edit was bad an effectively blanked a talk page that had nothing to do with an RfC. Probably a bug? --LauraHale (talk) 21:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Same problem (twice) at Talk:Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Cresix (talk) 21:13, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Recent blankings by the bot are the result of a test of a new version gone wrong. I have made sure to keep a close watch on the bot contributions during these tests. harej 02:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
Rugby–Birmingham–Stafford Line
If you look at how
- Recently, someone changed the dash in the requested move template from an emdash to an endash. I guess it's more grammatically correct or something. Anyways, there were never conflicts while the emdash was used because emdashes aren't used in titles. Now that there is an endash, there appears to be conflicts with page titles. Let's see if I can find a way for the bot to better read move requests. harej 07:37, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Bad bot edit on RfC page by
Please take a look at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Economy,_trade,_and_companies. There is a missing --> tag that is causing the rest of the list to be blanked out on display. I fixed it directly, but the bot reverted it.
See diff here I tried to fix: - [4]
Your assistance would be appreciated as its preventing an RfC from being noticed. Thank you. Leef5 (talk) 15:42, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- I fixed it with something less hacky and something that I forgot existed until a week or two ago. A rule of thumb: you fix the entries on the individual pages themselves; the RFC lists are just a consequence of the individual entries harej 17:46, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Bad bot edits
RM bot is continually adding move discussion notices for archived discussions on
) 17:41, 14 May 2011 (UTC)- The bot was functioning and doing its job perfectly. Some jackass forgot to remove the requested move template from the discussion after closing it. I have removed the template. harej 22:44, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Rfcid vs Rfctag
Hi! Could it be preferable to add an optional |rfcid=
field or similar to the {{
- An RFC ID parameter within {{rfctag}} is something I could look into. Also, once the RFC tag is gone, there's no need for the RFC ID to remain. harej09:34, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
For reasons unclear to me, GA bot is not picking up the GA nomination of Taxonomy of lemurs. Could you perhaps find the problem? Ucucha 20:48, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
Bot Removed new RfC tag
I listed Brothersoft.com on a different RfC page after I got an underwhelming response on the RfC_Media page and the bot removed my new tag. Is this expected behaviour? Colincbn (talk) 05:55, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- It did it again. Umm... Colincbn (talk) 06:17, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- RFC expiration dates are calculated as being thirty days after the first timestamp. Thus if you just stick an RFC tag on a discussion from a few months ago, the bot is going to correctly ascertain that the discussion started well over 30 days ago and deem it expired. I recommend starting a new section or a subsection and putting the RFC tag there, to separate pre-RFC conversation from RFC conversation (so outsiders can see what had already been discussed before diving in). harej 04:32, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
GA Bot edits
The bot went kinda wacko with edit summaries: [5] Starstriker7(Talk) 15:45, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
I checked the history of the page, there doesn't seem to be any indication as to why it happened...it looks like a nominator hit the enter button once too many times, and the bot tried to compensate, but the edit summaries continue to occur even though nothing changes. :/ --Starstriker7(Talk) 15:51, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

GA bot and unusual characters
GA bot hasn't realised that
RM Bot doesn't seem to be working...
I listed this for a requested move using the template over an hour ago. Yet the bot does not appear to have added it to the list on the requested moves page. Could you please verify that the bot is operating normally? Thanks! Barts1a | Talk to me | Yell at me 12:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- The bot is working fine and dandy. You, however, substituted the template when that goes against everything the bot does. Don't do that. harej 16:54, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- Did you notice that the template was not substituted for over an hour after it was initially added? I thought the bot was not adding the request because the template needed substituting. I only substituted the template after over an hour had passed since I initially put it in, at least 5 times longer than the advertised 15 minutes. This is why I thought the bot was malfunctioning, apologies for any inconvenience. Barts1a | Talk to me | Yell at me 22:44, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
I seem to be having the same problem with
- The bot runs every 15 minutes, since it is scheduled to do so. The bot also appears to still be running. I'll see if anything is wrong with your request (or with my bot's code). harej 02:50, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- For the life of me I couldn't figure out what the problem was, and they seemed like uncontroversial enough recommendations, so I just went ahead and moved the pages for you. (If anyone complains, I will take responsibility.) Cheers! harej 03:37, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Could use some help
Hi Harej, this RfC is for some reason not showing up on the RfC pages. A link to the talk page is showing, but not the RfC question. Can you help? SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 07:24, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

- The bot did include it here, but you removed it again. Was that a mistake, or is there some other issue with it? SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 07:44, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- That was a mistake — as a troubleshooting move, I manually ran the bot. Except I ran an old version of the bot. Which means the old bot is better at picking up descriptions than the new version is, apparently. harej 07:46, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- The bot did include it here, but you removed it again. Was that a mistake, or is there some other issue with it? SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 07:44, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Should I reverted on the other pages, or what? The RfC is still not listed. SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 08:58, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Reverting on the other pages won't be necessary. And it's still not listed because I haven't fixed it yet. I apologize for this weirdness. harej 09:05, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Should I reverted on the other pages, or what? The RfC is still not listed. SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 08:58, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm sorry to keep asking. I'm just panicking a bit because the RfC's been posted for a while, and I didn't notice at first that it hadn't appeared on the pages. So now I'm worried about a lack of input. SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 09:12, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

For your stellar efforts in making the 15:53, 19 July 2011 (UTC) |
- Thank you for the support! It definitely took a lot of effort and creative thinking, and even once it started working I had to accommodate glitches and the inundation of messages that came as a result of 67 RFCs never having gone through a round of requests before. To the bot it was equivalent of 67 new RFCs being filed in the thirty minutes between runs. And because of how the bot discriminates, once you're cleared you could receive as many as possible. So people signed up to only receive a couple were receiving... far more than that. And this caused a small backlash which bothered me a little. But everything is running smoothly now, and I have a fan as well! Thank you for the barnstar; it means a lot to me. hare j 16:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

GA bot possibly down?
It's possible that your GA bot is down, it hasn't updated the GA page for 4 hours and there are lots of articles passed and held and changed the status that the bot isn't reporting. Can you possibly fix the bot if it's down? JoeGazz ♂ 01:48, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
I don't think the bot is down. For one, the Toolserver is operational. And just to be sure, I ran GA bot manually just now, and it ran through its operation with no problems. What exactly is being held up? hare j 02:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)- I withdraw that. By happenstance I'm looking at my databases now and the GAN part appears to be flooded with records, indicating some kind of buffer overflow. I will investigate further. hare j 02:32, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

This bot keeps listing that Chester A. Arthur is being reviewed. It is not. It was, but then we deleted the review because the editor who started it had been very involved in writing the article. How can I get the bot to stop? --Coemgenus (talk) 00:55, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- When the bot transcluded the review, it also marked the nomination as "onreview". I have reversed that. hare j 02:44, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

RM bot
Hi harej. Just saw this edit by RM bot, where it blanked the entire page of Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions. Do you know what's up? Also, will it continue to blank the page? Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 21:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Occasionally, Wikipedia won't deliver the necessary data for RM bot to run and the bot runs anyway. There is a fix to this, but I've only implemented it in some of my bots. The problem always solves itself come next run. hare j 21:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

RFCbot miscat
Hey Harej,
I'm sorry to bother you - I wonder if you're still busy with the conference? But... there's a query on helpdesk re. an RFC apparently being mis-categorized; [17]
Someone may have already fixed it before you see this, as it's on helpdesk. But if not / if you could take a look? Thanks, Chzz ► 18:16, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
P.S. Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to steal your user-page comment a bit. It's a good message/reminder to spread. Chzz ► 18:17, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- This should fix it; it was never assigned a category but it was assigned an RFC ID. That it was subsequently sorted into policy is a bug, I guess. Thank you for spreading the message of our user unfriendly culture! It was actually the subject of Jimbo's speech on the last day. He used my own RM bot as an example. I feel so honored. hare j 18:41, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Just so you know...
NickDupree said on IRC that the RFC Bot was on a rampage of sabatoge. Figured I'd let you know. Though now TheSigma on IRC said that he fixed it by restoring an old revision of the page NickDupree was trying to fix, because, as he said, "RFC Bot exploded". So yeah.

Articles for deletion/Adultism
Hi there,
The "Adultism" page is up for deletion or merge (I saw you previously took an interest in it (way back lol) ).
And yes, it is still the closed-page of editor "Freechild" - with no "adultist" rebuttals allowed.

RfC Placement on Media/Arts/Architecture by RFCbot
Hi--the RfC bot seems to have incorrectly placed my new RfC ([18]) at the bottom of the list, without its accompanying text. Do you know how I should fix this? Is there anything I can do to change the RfC template in the Ping'An talk sextion? Merechriolus (talk) 18:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- I don't see anything wrong with the listing. hare j 18:20, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- Looking at the edit history, you didn't add a timestamp until after RFC bot visited the page. With the timestamp now in place, I ran the bot again and everything works as it should. hare j 18:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

RM bot not running
Looks like the bot stopped updating Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions a couple of hours ago. Don't know if it's a coincidence, but it happened at the same time a user edited the file manually. I tried to undo his edit, but that didn't seem to help. Favonian (talk) 20:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
