Archive for July 2011Regarding a section on WP:BLPNHi Misza13, I know that on WP:BLPN, MiszaBot II automatically archives sections with no replies in 5 days. I want to ask you whether it's possible to have it not archive one thread on there after this time period passes. This is because one "side" of the discussion in the section titled Aelita Andre is a user who only goes on Wikipedia once or twice a week (or less). Tomorrow will be 5 days since this user replied to the thread on WP:BLPN, but the issue doesn't seem to be resolved, and it is this user's turn to speak. The discussion will almost certainly continue when the user signs on again. I'm not familiar with how bots work, but if it is doable, can you please have MiszaBot II not archive the linked section? Thank you! Armadillopteryxtalk 00:01, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Using your Importerbot for WikiAfricaHi Misza13 I've been searching for a way to import wikinews into the explore africa section of our project - WikiAfrica. I've found your userpage template that can just pull in the top 5 of what's in the news. but I see on this page: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Africa, that there are also science and technology; culture and entertainment and Wackynews elements, and I would also like to pull in these new feeds to the same table. I had hoped that the importer bot page would help me, and was very excited about it until I started to read it, and my limited tecno and code defeated me. How can I do what I described above? (here are the subpages I created in steps 1 and 2: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Wikinews_Importer_Bot/WikiAfric and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikinewshas/WikiAfrica) Islahaddow (talk) 11:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC) The Signpost: 4 July 2011
After the MiszaBot archived some threads, everything below a hidden section disappeared although the sections still appeared in the table of contents. Go to this history point just after the bot archived the threads. [1] and confirm that its not just me. I believe I fixed the problem for us. After reverting what the bot did, since it already seemed to have archived the hidden section here Talk:Femininity/Archive_2 I just deleted this... {{Collapse top|title=Collapsing off-topic discussion}}) which was still one the talk page. Let me know how things turn out. Dave3457 (talk) 07:22, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
/dev/nullHello. Any idea why the bot would dump some of my talkpage in the bit bucket? [2] [3] The config was {{User:MiszaBot/config | archive = User talk:Department of Redundancy Department/Archive %(counter)d | algo = old(5d) | counter = 2 | maxarchivesize = 75K | minthreadsleft = 0 | minthreadstoarchive = 1}} at the time. Thanks! —DoRD (talk) 13:46, 7 July 2011 (UTC) Template:BotsOn Talk:Climatic Research Unit email controversy, something about
was stopping MiszaBot from acting since it was added in May. (The indexerbot did run.) I tried fiddling with it, without figuring out what was wrong. Currently, I've got it commented out, but any suggestions on how to make it work right?
A barnstar for you!
Collapsing threads on auto-archived talk pagesA while ago I think I saw an instance where the bot mangled a talk page that had a bunch of collapsed sections, where the entire section (including the heading) was collapsed. Is this a case that's meant to be handled by the bot, i.e.
I think what the bot did was archive heading to heading, leaving the collapsetop on the page but archiving the collapse bottom with the archived section. I'd think the bot could uncollapse sections as it archives and recognize collapsetop-heading-...-collapsebottom-next heading as something that should be archived without the collapsetop or collapsebottom, and when done should delete the collapsetop through the matching collapsebottom (there are cases where uncollapsing within a section is not the right thing to do, but I'd think uncollapsing entire collapsed sections would be OK). -- Rick Block (talk) 02:59, 10 July 2011 (UTC) Why did your bot archive a talk entry that was only 14 days old?I noticed MiszaBotI archived a section on Talk:Horizon Air that I posted, saying that it was older than 14 days. I find it outright stupid that your bot would archive something that new, and besides I posted it on June 27--less than 14 days ago. I reverted that edit, but I want you to make sure your bot doesn't do that again. What gets me is that it didn't archive a talk entry on that page that was posted in 2008. (I moved it myself, btw) Why did your bot do this? Could you make sure it doesn't happen again? Thanks, Compdude123 (talk) 19:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Archiving bot missing sectionsCan anyone see why the bot isn't archiving the top three sections on Talk:Rape during the occupation of Germany? It's run several times, but it keeps skipping those. I can't find any hidden datestamps.
Possible oversights of MiszaBot IIIHello there. I hope you don't mind me mentioning something. If a user uses MiszaBot III to archive, then it archives anything on user's talk page given the user set parameters. However, some templates like the block/request-unblock template says "Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked." I've noticed a few instances where MiszaBot III archives the unblock review, and removes it from the users' page. What would you recommend I do in such a case? — Fly by Night (talk) 00:40, 16 July 2011 (UTC) The Signpost: 18 July 2011

Wikinews importer bot suggestionHi, I appreciate that you're not editing much here at the moment, but I have a suggestion about this excellent bot of yours. It still wikilinks the dates of the news items it imports, a practice that has really gone out of fashion on WP in the last few years. It can look odd on a portal to have no linked dates anywhere apart from in the Wikinews section, so I wondered whether you'd be able to tweak the code accordingly. A further request, although this may harder to implement, would be to give people the chance to specify whether the news item date should be in "May 1" or "1 May" format - again, some portals look odd with a mixture of dates. Apart from that, carry on the good work! Yours, BencherliteTalk 15:56, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Wikinews Importer BotHello ! I think there had a problem on it May you check it, please ? You may reply here, thx. 86.67.6.50 (talk) 14:27, 27 July 2011 (UTC) Curious QuestionMiszaBot II archived an unresolved AN/I thread to the AN/I archive which had an ongoing and unclosed poll. I've gone ahead and restored the unresolved thread upon request from another user after its archiving. My question is this: is there any kind of tag that will cause MiszaBot (I or II) to skip that section when analyzing for archiving, or cause it to wait a longer time before archiving it? Polls can take a matter of days and 24h might not be long enough to test for archiving an ongoing poll if it's meant to last for, say, 7 days and the thread is archived before it's closed.
