Three problems

There are occasionally several problems with OKbot, detailed below:

  • It can interfere with InfoBox syntax, e.g. this edit has broken the InfoBox.
  • Sometimes the problem is more severe, wiping out large chunks of an article.
  • If an InfoBox contains multiple |alexa= parameters, it is the data in the last one that is displayed on the page. However, OKbot amends the first one found and does not attempt to delete the spurious duplicate entries nor does it warn these duplicate entries exist.

I have blocked OKbot because of these issues — I understand that the third issue is a programming decision, but I'm confident that the first and second are purely a problem with the bot. When you've fixed the situation, be sure to let me know, and I'll happily unblock. Nyttend (talk) 23:39, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
