FireflyBot
editHello, Firefly,
Every few weeks I check on FireflyBot to see if it is posting CSD G13 notices to draft/sandbox creators and it looks like it stopped doing so on September 3rd. Could you check on it to see if there are any problems and get it up and going again? Many thanks for all of the work you and your bot do. All the best, Liz Read! Talk! 19:13, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz sincere apologies for the delay here - this is now fixed. DreamRimmer has a BRFA to take up this task as well, which I think is good - we'll coordinate so that we can share this task and have some redundancy / reduce single points of failure. firefly ( t · c ) 14:02, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for restarting it. I have sent you a mail. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Firefly,
- Yes, I just noticed that FireflyBot is back in action. Hooray! Thank you. But you are totally allowed to take a break from the project. Maybe you should share bot operator status with Dreamrimmer. I know that works well with HaleBot. Liz Read! Talk! 04:35, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz indeed, that is the plan! firefly ( t · c ) 14:27, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for restarting it. I have sent you a mail. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

hallo Firefly, the lintertables has two new categories, but your tool dosent show them. It would be nice if you can expand the tool for special:LintErrors/duplicate-ids (high priority), the other one Special:LintErrors/night-mode-unaware-background-color is not that nessesary.
